It is a curiously horrible truth that

destroying itself more rapidly than IL

Armies are cities cities that move
from place to place They rarely stay
in one spot long enough to arrange for
its real sanitation. They march OUT

they agree with me regarding the nee i
of a Colorado dairymen's association.
No such organization exists at this
time. but with the cooperation OF these
men, we expect to get together on

vention Of dairymen and creamery-men
that has ever assembled in Colorado.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK IN
HOLLAND.

At about the time that the recent
panic began Postmaster General Meyer
pointed out that II we had a postal
savings bank In this country estab-
lished on such lines as he had pre-
viously suggested, there would be lit
tie danger that private boarding would
take cash out OF circulation at times
when 1t was most needed.
Since then the experience of Hol-
land. with its government savings
bank, has amply born testimony to the
truth Of what the postmaster general
said. Holland felt the effects OF the
general worldwide depression to such
an extent that there were heavy runs
on some of its Oldest and safest pri-
vate savings Institutions. These banks
did not have to suspend payments
and when the run exhausted itself de-
posits began to return to them.
But in the meantime the money that
had been withdrawn did not go into
stockings. stoves, tin cans and the
other hiding places OF the hoarder.
but instead 1t went into the postal saw
ings bank. In the first twenty days
of November the excess Of deposits
over Withdrawals in that institution
was 1,156,659 forins. Here. then, this
year was an increase of deposits more
than three times as great as in the
best preceding year.
Postmaster General Meyers propos-
al for postal savings bank is very
carefully framed to prevent the cash
deposited from being withdrawn from
circulation. If enacted into law it
would add distinct element Of
strength to our financial situation.
This congress should establish the in
stitution, the many merits OF which
have long since been abundantly
proven.

At time when the subject is of pc

tin, long in preparation, on Coal Mine
Accidents; Their Cause and Pre-
vention." 1t is shown by the facts
furnished that the ratio of mining ia.
talities is much larger in the United
States than in other countries. In
seventeen years the number of miners
killed in the United States has been
22,S40. The list of killed was 1857
in the year 1891 and 1,O61 in 1906.
This years total will be much larger.
three coal mining catastrophes having
occurred in the present month. In
the United States the mining fatalities
last year were $40 per 1000 employed; !;
in Great Britain, 1.29; Russia, 1880 !;
Belgium, .s4, and France, .S4. This
Is an alarming disparity, and, more
over, the ratio, which increases with
us, has declined abroad during the
last ten years.
The experts OF the geological sur.
vey say that the natural conditions in
the United States for extracting coal
are the best found anywhere, but the
regulations are far less stringent
Many miners in this country speak
only foreign language and are in
clined to be reckless in trying to in
crease production. In British mines
where dangerous gas Is found, all ex
plosives are in charge of shot fir
er," who works only when the min
ers have left for the day. The expert
opinion, and it was written before the
latest calamitous warnings, is that ex
plosives in this country are not han
died with sufficient care in the pres
ence of gas or dust, or their combina
ton. Deadly risks are taken in these
particulars and in the proper support
of coal roofs, the fall of which causes
many fatalities. Dynamite and elec
tricity are used freely in American
mines in the presence OF gas and ex
plosive dust. The hundreds of lives
just sacrificed are weighty admoni
tion to legislatures. as well as to all
engaged in mining.
