POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Senator Adrich viii Lead Contest to
Defeat the Bill.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The thorny
path confronts the postal savings
bank bill, Notwithstanding it's passage
is advocated in the republican nation
al platform. At the close of the last
session Of congress, when Senator
Carter secured a special order that this
measure be taken up on Dec IA, it is
said he had pledges Of sufficient votes
to pass the bill in the senate.
Investigation conducted abroad by
members of the national monetary
commission are largely responsible
for this change of sentiment in regard
to the establishment of postal savings
banks. Senator Aldrich OF Rhode Is
land, chairman of the commission, is
ready to take positive stand against
the passage of the bill, and will have
the support Of large number Of sen
ators because of influence brought TO
bear upon them by the opposition Of
small bankers throughout the country
particularly those Interested in state
and savings banks.

Recognizing these facts, National
leaders advocate the raining OF eiti-
zen-soldiers, That is our greatest
hope, With a sufficient force OF train
cd men as d basis, organization OF \
bic volunteer army would be greatly
facilitated. But a mob can't fight 4
modern army, even ii it is an army OF
invasion. 1t would be slaughter not
war.
The United States government pro
vides the National Guard of the coun.
try, 10000, strong, with guns, am
munition, equipment and maneuvers
facilities at 4 cost of millions annu-
ally. In return it has available that
big force for any emergency OF war
which may arise. The National
Guard is composed OF young men
who are ready to respond to a call
to arms and in the efficiency OF these
men lies any hope we may have OF
meeting the contingency OF sudden
clash with hostile Oriental power,
But while the Government provides
millions for the training OF these men
it takes the stand that the various
states should do their part as well
The secretary OF War lately said in
an official report that he felt the
states should at least house the re-
serve army in suitable armories since
the United States Government pays
nearly all the rest OF the bills.
So, without going further into this
subject it is urged that tthe duty OF
every state is to facilitate the train
ing OF citizens in military duty The
cost is very little compared with the
benefit. Surely Oregon can afford
TO build few armories for its young
men who are preparing TO uphold
the Nations honor and dig
nifty and protect its property 1t is
your manifest duty to vote Yes on the
Armory bill when you go to the
polls June |.

virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they
need only to refer to Mr.. Alvin H.
Simpson, Of Willamantic, Conn,
who, after almost losing hope Of re-
covery, on account Of the failure Of so
many remedies, finally tried Foley's
Kidney Coure, which he says was
"just the thing" for him, as four

Not merely local duty but in the
strictest sense duty to the Nation;
a duty that is clearly defined and in
disputable."
Such is the contention OF prominent
National Guardsmen and military
authorities with reference to support
BY the public OF the Armory bill
which comes up for vote under the
referendum at the June election.
Without further elucidation their
views in that regard might appear
extravagant but they supplement
their argument with an array OF facts
so that the Armory bill is rapidly
gaining converts even from the ranks
Of its worstwhile enemies who admit
they have been intent in regarding
the bill from its purely economic and
local aspects,
Endorsements are being made gen.
orally by civic, commercial, social and
religious organizations and thousands
now realize that support OF the meas
ure is public duty. The press OF
the State has taken liberal and
broad-minded stand throughout, only
four papers out of some 800 in Ore
gon having been inclined to oppose
the measure and this only in mild
way.
In considering the Armory bill,
say conservative and fully informed
Cuardsmen and military authorities
of prominence, let us lay aside the
economic side of the question for a
moment. Let us take glance at the
changed conditions such as have
served to leave the United States in
far less secure a position than we
would care to believe. We see a
militant Nation risen to power in the
Orient Its people are increasing
more rapidly than the surplus can be
taken care OF. That Nation is ridden
with debt from recent wars but yet
is known to have S50,000,000 or
about S350,000,000 in the war treas
ury-for WHAT Japan has an army OF
more than 100000 armed and fully
trained men prepared for service at
instant's notice. Added to that is the
greatest transport feet in the world
ready to carry large bodies OF troops
10 a given point at a few hours notice.
And it is not to be wondered that
such a Nation should look at our
fertile and inestisably rich Pacific
Coast with averice and envy. MOI
is it to be wondered that such ma,
ton should assume the cocky attitude
towards which we have seen so much
OF in the past year. They know very
we'll that they could successfully in
wade our Pacific Coast and we know
it quite as we'll. Those who once
thought it clever or consistent tc
pooh-ba such an idea now admi
they were short sighted Only the
miserably uninformed now contradic
If.
1t is also admitted that we have
no arms, equipment or sufficient train
ed men to resist an invasion success
fully. We are a rich country but
weak one, and the parable Of the rici
and weak is obvious in its application
here. In time we would be victori
GUS; as soon, in fact, as wee coulc

The helated enthusiasm for Mr.. Bry-
an, on the part of certain Democratic
newspapers which bitterly opposed his
nomination by the Denver convention,
is certainly amusing. 1t is also tribe
nauseating to those who admire sin
cerity in politics, as well as elsewhere.
How MANY voters do some of our Dem
ocratic contemporaries suppose there are
i'm Maine, who can be deceived into be-
;ieving that William J. Bryan is any
better fitted for the presidency today
than he was few short weeks ago
when these same Democratic organs
We're siieruously opposing his nominal
ton by the Denver convention? The
voters of Maine are altogether too in
telligent To be deceived by any such
vain and shallow pretence. No, gentle
men. Bryan is no better qualified TO be
President today than he was when
Won We're opposing hin, before the as

whom the American people could feel
