DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation Of Postal 8aylsfs
Banks IN Philipplnss.


Iae only postal savings bank sys-,
TEN N operation under the American
nag 70 that In the Philippines, whers.
aiter Two years Of experiment, the
INSTITUTION has been declared q great
success' In the report Of the Philip:
pine commission, just published, the
postal savings bank is discussed brief
y, In part a. follows: x
The postal savings bank was first
opened IN Manila on Oct. 1, 19Oe.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations 40 to the amounts
tnat can be received at any one time
IN each class. Following the opening
OF tne Manila Office, other postal saw
ings Dank Offices were opened in vari-
ous cities, Of different classes, until
&C the close Of the year 235 had been
opened, Of which 9 were first, SO were
second and 40 were third class.
Filipinos Adoptins systen.
At, f1rst the Filipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves o.
the opportunity Of depositing a portion
OF their receipts in the postal savings
Dank' anda great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
alities. As the advantages of this sys-
TEN have been disseminated through
means OF schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the bro
portion Of Nlipinos il continually in
creaslng' and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn. to trust
hell money to the care of the govern
ment, and welcome the opportunity.
'The accounts opened up to the
close OF the fiscal year numbered
2'67S, OF which 347 were closed, leav-
ing 1888 still open. The deposits
reacned the total sum of 7s6,361.O3 pc
sos-an average of 1OS.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount Of
2so,49o.2l pesos, leaving a net deposit
OF oos'46S.21 pesos at the end of the
hscal year-or the first nine months
OF the operation Of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months OF operation of the average
NUMBER Of offices, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, 80 that many had
not been opened more than a month or
W at the time these figures were
taken.
Encouraging Small Aecoaats.
"Ihe device of issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
Issuing a book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
ION the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has been
gratifying, and gives good promise.
The Investment of the funds is in the
hands OF a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount OF the funds on deposit, and
has limited power Of investment. The
law provides that Is per cent of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on frst-class real estate, under :limita-
lions carefully drawn to protect the
~deposltors, and 10 per cent on agricul-
tural lands under still more rigid limi.
tations."

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes youngstown
Specify
"Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr.. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York a Republican Legislature
In 1906 passed a statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers. directors or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation OF the law
should be guilty Of a criminal offense.
And I know of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity of campaign contributions and
for the prevention Of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, of course, he
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion Of the popular will lie at the foun-
dalton of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and accounting for
campaign contributions. in connection
with federal elections. But it must
fairly be recognized that the skirts Of
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned, and
also those who, If We may Judge from
their local activities, are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source of it's revenues or
its readiness to receive them"

Grand Chapter 0. E. 5.

You have doubtless noticed long and
elaborate accounts of the meetings
of many of the different Grand Lodges
of the State but rarely do you see
but a passing notice of one OF the
grand bodies which has just closed
its session at Covington, Ky.
We refer to the Grand Chapter O..
f. S.-a body which is close
ly related to the Masonic
order but which is no part of that
grand and ancient institution. In
this Grand Body just convened, while
there were quite a few men present
and including three grand officers, it
was plain to be seen, from the very
start, that men are only of secondary
importance The main part of the
meeting and including eleven other
grand officers, were as fine booking
lot of ladies as GOULD be gathered
from all over this old Commonwealth
and that, as all men know, is saying
great deal They were as quick and
business like to get organized, grant
new charters and dispensations, in
stall new officers, amend and make
new laws as any body of men.
Furthermore a committee is now at
work to devise ways and means to
provide Home for all old and penni-
less members of the order, thus es-
tablishing themselves as equal TO
any charitable order in the State.
This from an order which is only
six years old in thisState. The next
meeting will be at Paducah, Ky.
