ONE GREAT PUBLIC NEED
some Beneficial Ends That wut ne
served by Postal Savings
Banks.
Chicago Tribune.

NAANNoAb AAAhhAf
Week before last two private banks in
New York city closed their doors. one
was pstronized almost exclusively by Ital-
ians and the other by immigrants from
eastern Europe. Not knowing Of any better
place TO put their money. they intrusted II
to fellow countrymen running small bank
ing Institutions and have lost II as other
immigrants have lost theirs.
These depositors would not have been any
better off than they are n Mr.. Bryan
plan for the guaranteeing OF bank depos-
its had been in operation. They would
not have known anything OF It, nor would
they have put their money i'm banks
affected by II. But II postal savings banks
had been open to them they would have
known OF II and would have saved their
money. They would have deposited 1t with
the government instead OF the private
banks that have failed.
The depositors mostly came from couu-
tries which have postal savings banks.
They have been brought up to consider
them as much a part OF the governm, a.
machinery as the postoffice itself. They
looked for those banks when they got here.
but In vain. There are in New York CITY
numerous sound savings banks. but the Inn
migrants knew nothing OF them, and II they
had they might have distrusted them. They
never would distrust the government.
No one can deny that postal savings
banks would be of great assistance to Inn
migrants unfamiliar with the language and
ways of the country. They are numerous
and useful enough to merit a little consid-
Grafton. But they are outnumbered by the
native born Americana who would use pos
tai savings banks'if they had an opportun-
ffu IN 10 81, Al. IT,
banks anywhere near t~hem-there are some
states where only a few OF these banks can
be founder there is the irrational doubt
as to their safety which possesses many
people. Mr.. Taft has in mind the welfare
OF Americans as we'll as Of immigrants
when advocating the postal savings banks
system. It's establishment should be one
OF the beneficent works of the next con-
gress.

More Oily Grief Impends.

Springfield RepubIIcan.
The time was when the STANDARD OIL
company was as inaccessible to an enemy
as the fortress of Gibraltar, but now its
secrets are being exhibited without mercy
to a hooking multitude. While Mr.. Hearst
continues. to read Mr.. Archbold's private
correspondence the news comes that a
copy of the oil company's secret telegraph
code has been lost or stolen from the valise
of one of it's attorneys. The man who
captured it is probably in communication
already with Mr.. Hearst.
