advisable to allow them greater freedom.

THE GOVERNMENT FARM.

Although it is nearly year since Mr..
Battell decided the Government his four
hundred acre farm in Weybridge, where
experiments are to be made in the most
scientific breeding of Morgan horses, it is
only "A little more than six months ago
that the work of putting the property III
thorough repair was started. What has
been accomplished in this short time is
a matter of public interest and, now that
the carving ON of these Improvements is
about over for the season, deserves mo-
tce.
AS one approaches the farm from the
direction of Middlebury the first thing to
attract attention is AN excellent wire
fence, five feet in height and having
neatly painted posts. Nearly two miles
of this fence has already been built.
The house, which has two stories,
stands with the west end toward the
highway and fronts the north. \ deep
piazza runs along the west end and north
side. The main part of the house, 26X
45lh. has nine principal. rooms parlors

with suitable halls, coat rooms, closets
and toilets An ~, 29X30ft, Joins the

Mint, Anise and cummin.

The growth of small Wisconsin city
made 1t very desirable to erect a high
school building. but the citizens voted
down the necessary bonds because 1t
was felt that the Indebtedness recently
incurred for constructing q municipal
light and water plant was as much as
the people wanted to pay interest on
at present. This is typical of what is
going on all over the country. Cities
are pawning their credit to invest IN
utilities which can be operated better
and more economically by private en-
terprise instead of reserving 1t for
true municipal purposes-schools, play
grounds, parks, paving, sewerage, etc.
The result is that city development Is
checked, health is jeopardized and edu-
cation is hampered because cities find
1t more interesting to invade the field
Of speculative business than to provide
properly for the more commonplace but
important functions of city government.

Postal saving. Bank. Needed.

In certain parts OF our country saw.
ings institutions are sufficiently numer-
Gus to accommodate the people, but
such areas are quite limited, being con-
fined to New England and New York.
1t is alleged that by reason Of the num-
Der and location of savings banks there
Is one savings account to every two OF
the population Of New England, where
as in oil the country outside New En-
only one savings account to every 1877
Of the population. Taking such figures
to be approximately correct and recog-
niZing the fact that the people of all
sections of this country are pretty
much the same in habits, inclinations,
and purposes, it must be obvious to the
most casual observer that the people
of the South, the Middle West, and the
West do not save their earnings as do
those Of New England from the mere
want Of secure places in which deposits
may be made.
To those who feel inclined to believe
that the establishment Of postal saw
ings repositories will involve an ele-
ment Of paternalism 1t seems quite suf-
ficient to suggest that the machinery of
the Postofiice Department is now in ex-
istence and will continue to exist with
out diminution Of expense whether
such repositories are created or not
and that the establishment of these
deDOsitOripS for tho hapa6t nf tho
people will not involve one farthing Of
loss to the Post-Onice Department, but
will probably, on the contrary, prove
more than self-sustaining. Very slight
computation will clearly demonstrate
that the postal savings depositors can
not burden the Post Office Department
with any additional deficiency.

lOsTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Machinery of Congress Already
Started for Postal Savings
AZ Bank Law.
q Safe and Sano Plan for tho Con-
venience of the People and the
Encouragement of Thrift.

I'VE favor the establishment Of
postal savings bank system for the con-
venience Of the people and the encour-
agement of thrift"
This Is the declaration Of the Repub-
lican national platform, and postal saw
ings banks will without doubt be au-
thorized by law and established as a
part Of our financial system by the
action Of Congress at its coming ses-
sion, which will be convened in Deem
Der. Indeed, much has already been
accomplished towards the enactment of
this law. At the last session Of Con-
gress bill was carefully prepared
which met with the approval Of the
Postmaster General, and was reported
upon favorably by the Senate Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post Roads.
This bill Is now ON the Senate calendar
gress is convened.
The scope of the proposed law Is set
forth in the committee report, which is
In part as follows:
Committee Report.
The purpose Of this bill is to place
at the disposal Of people of small
means the machinery of the Postoffice
Department to aid and encourage them
to save their earnings The subject Of
postal savings banks or repositories is
not new in this country and it may be
truly said to be quite familiar TO the
people Of Europe and the British colon
les The propriety of establishing
postal savings banks became the sub
ject Of discussion in England as early
as 1907. Every objection to such use
of the postoffice facilities urged in this
country was vigorously pressed in the
long -continued discussion Of the subject
In England.
For over fifty years private savings
institutions waged bitter opposition to
the growing sentiment in favor Of postal
savings banks, but Notwithstanding
such opposition in 1861 an act Of Par
lament was passed entitled "An act
to grant additional facilities for de-
posting small savings with the security
ment thereof" That the alarm of pri-
vate institutions was i'll founded is
amply proven by the recorded fact that
the private savings banks increased
their capital by more than ten millions
Of dollars in the first fifteen years fol-
lowing the establishment of postal saw
ings institutions.
That the postal savings institutions
proved successful is satisfactorily at
tested by the fact that no backward
step has ever been taken in England on
this subject and by the further fact
that in rapid succession the lead of
England was taken by other countries.
The primary purpose OK these insti-
buttons is to encourage thrift and
saving disposition among the people of
small means by placing at their dis
posal in every part of the country
ready facilities for the depositing of
small sums, with absolute assurance OF
repayment on demand with q low rate
Of interest on a limited aggregate
amount.

1t is fact that every important step
for the benefit of American labor has
been taken either by Republican

Legislature Of a Republican State, of
course with the consent, and sometimes
by the advice, Of the State executive.
Democratic Congresses have been no
tably negligent in this respect, and
Democratic States have either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
