PROTECTION FOR DEPOsITORs,
Postal Savings Banks Offer a Salts
factory Measure of Protection.

Postal Savings Banks Offer a Salts
factory Measure of Protection.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme for the protec-
ton of depositors is to make solvent
and prudently managed banks pay the
losses of the inSOlyent and imprudently
managed. 1t is a plan to make every
bank go security for every other bank,
and it may well be questioned if a law
imposing such an obligation without
the consent Of the person charged
would be sustained by the courts.
Mr.. Taft, discussing this subject, said
that he favored postal savings banks as
a protection for depositors rather than
the Brya rs mcfheoecmfwyp cmfwyp
the Bryan scheme of enforced Iiabili ~
The distinct advantage Of the postal
savings bank proposition is that it
would provide for direct government
responsibility. The depositors would
be guaranteed against loss by the
government, because the banks would
be government institutions. There
would be no possibility of loss, and no
injustice would be inflicted upon other
banks like that to which they would
be subjected under the Bryan scheme
if they were compelled to pay losses
incurred by banks over which they
had no control.
Postal savings banks in other coun-
tries have given great satisfaction, and
there is no question that they would
be conducted as safely and in every
other way as satisfactorily in the Unit
ed States. The government be-
ing the banker, would properly be
charged with responsibility to the de-
positors and others doing business
with it,
On the other hand, the State has no
more authority to make a banker re-
SpOnsible for the debts of another
banker than it has to impose a like
responsibility upon a merchant for the
debts of other merchants. Surety is a
matter Of voluntary contract, and the
essential element in any financial OBJ
legation is consent on the part of the
person to be charged. To force q
banker to insure the payment of the
debts Of another banker is to impose
upon him an obligation against his

and in detail has shown its capacity to
govern. By the homestead law, with
equal generosity and wisdom, it distri-
buted the immense national domain
among the citizens who were willing
to cultivate it and who have convert
ed wide stretches of wilderness into
smiling homes. 1t built the Pacific
railroad, which has bound the union
together from east to west and made
the States beyond the mountains among
our most loyal and prosperous com
monwealth. 1t redeemed our paper cur
rency and made all our forms of money
exactly of equal value, and our credit
the best in the world. By persistent
honesty in our fnances-in the face of
obstacles which might have daunted
the hardest statesmen-it has reduced
our interest charges so that in any
mart on earth we can borrow money
cheaper than any other people. We
have by the patient labor Of years re-
formed and regulated our civil service,
so that patronage has almost ceased
to cast its deadly blight upon the work
of our public servants.

Its record is but a succession of bril-
liant and successful achievements
which have raised the nation to a

may be mentioned here:

The national banking laws, which
gave the people a currency stable in
all parts of the country.
The system of internal revenue tax
alton by which approximately one-half
of the ordinary expenses of the gov
eminent have been raised from malt
and spirituous liquors, tobacco and
cigars.
The constitutional amendments,
which abolished slavery, created citi
zenship of the United States, as dis
tinguished from citizenship Of the sew
eral states, and established equality of
suffrage.
The Civil Rights act, which extended
to all persons the equal protection Of
the laws.
All existing laws for pensions to war
veterans.
The resumption of specie payments;
the reduction Of postage; the money
order system; the esta blishment of the
railway mail service.

 Several boys hunted up the general secretary, L. G. Hayes, and wanted to know the age limit for the ad- mission of boys to the junior or boys department. One boy wanted to know if the swimming pool would be ready this summer. Some young men asked if the gymnasium would be ready for use next winter.

A PIIlfUL SCENE
 IN PROBATE C0URI
The Temporary Separation of Charlie
 Baldwin From His Parents.

A sorrowful scene was enacted in the probate court yesterday in the matter of the disposition of Charlie Baldwin, the fourteen year old son of | Mir. and Mrs. C. H. Baldwin against | whom complaint had been made by neighbors of cruel treatment of the boy On the other hand the charge is denied by both parents who say that until recently the boy was a model child, obedient, modest and reserved. He fell into the company of other boys who filled his mind with false ideas about freedom and the parents charge that neighbors helped the matter along from bad to worse until the boys mind was saturated with poison against his parents.
 That he had been punished the pa rents admit, but they say that he was never unreasonably punished; that if he had been let alone from the begin ming there never would have been any trouble. But as things turned out they had entirely lost control of him and since last Friday they had not seen him until yesterday.
 The proceedings as they were begun lOOhtu lO lllt ldhiilS Ol lllt DOy away from his parents, but on a showing by them, Judge Phillips determined to take no such step. A MT. Graham who lives in the country about four miles northeast of the city offered the boy a home and it was decided if the parents would consent. he would be turned. over to him, an entirely in formal proceeding which can be re- called at an.- time.
 This arrangement was not pleasing to the parents to whom the idea of losing even temporary control of the boy as most distasteful. but the boy was persistent in his refusal to go home. The court hoped that a brief separation from his parents would give the boy a keener appreciation of them and that in going out into the country he would be removed from the associations which had estranged him from his parents.
 The mother was almost heart brok- en when she kissed the boy good bye in the office of the probate judge and she gave him a little bible with an in- junction to read it carefully. A small Ter brother stood by crying. The fath- CT, overcome, had gone home.
 The parents have warm affection for the child, who is bright little boy. rather small of his age. They came here not long ago from Atlanta, Ga, where Mir. Baldwin had been en- gagged in the mercantile business for thirty years. until his health gave way under severe application to business.

THE CHICKEN BUSINESS
 THREE MONTH PERIOD
What the Hens of D. C. Warren Have Done Since March i.

D. c. Warren, who is engaged in the poultry business for profit as well as for the fun of the thing. has found that he has had a great deal of fun since March 1 of this year. At that time he had on hand 300 laying hens Since then, only three months, he has sold a little more than $500 worth of eggs, has had all the eggs he wanted to use about the house, has never gone hun gry for chicken and now has more 1 laying hens than he had at the be- ginning of this profitable poultry epoch.
 He finds nothing in the poultry journals eqnaling the record his hens have made in three months. The cur rent number of a journal published at Petaluma, Cal, a center of the poultry business, gives the happy experience of a fancier of that com munity who thought he was doing well because his blooded white leg horn hens earned fifty cents a month. The hens of MT Warren and 300 of them, not a few fancy hens, only, have done much better than that.
 He has several breeds which are allowed the run of the farm until about November when the breeding time begins and then they are sepa- rated, the best specimens of each breed being put by themselves. Three hundred chickens cost him about $50 a month for feed
 The figures he gives are not in any sense guess work. He keeps an exact account with his chickens to see if they are doing the square thing by

IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE DEAL.
HON w. T. COLE BUYS LAND AD- JACENT TO SOUTH END OF +
 TAUNTON LAKE.

Hon w. T. Cole, general manager of the Fabric Fire Hose Co.,, who is build ing beautiful residence on the hill overlooking Newtown Street, has bought the 10 acres of land on the south end of Taunton lake, and will greatly improve the property. This land was formerly owned by Reuben H. Smith and then passed into the hands of Elmer w. Fairchild, who sold it to Frank w. Beers. MT Beers sold it to Wheeler Beers estate, who now have disposed of it to MT Cole. The beautiful picnic grove on the shore of the lake will be cleared up, and MT Cole will allow the Sunday schools bt all the churches free use Of the grounds for picnic purposes under prop CT restrictions. It.is matter for gen eral congratulation that this piece of property has passed into the hands of so public spirited a gentleman, and will mean much to the town at large. The grounds at the lake have been used by the public for picnics for years: The Bee understands MT Cole will clear up the grounds which have been sadly neglected for nearly 20 years. The lard contains many desirable sites for the summer residences, and we shall be deeply gratifed If residences can be built there.

BUY FOR EASTER NOW.
EARLY BUYERS GET THE PICK OF THE GREATEST STOCKS
 EVER SHOWN.

Meigs & Co. are giving their friends and customers excellent advice, to the effect that they better buy Easter things this week. The intent of this is to urge people to make selections of their Easter wears while Spring stocks are at the height of their diversity and richness. There are so many that defer their Easter purchases until the last minute and so run the risk of dis appointment, that there is room and time for wise ones to make selections this week at their leisure. Faster wears were never more attractive or shown in such wonderful variety as they now appear at Meigs & Co.'s big store. And whether one wishes bit of neckwear, or a whole new Easter outfit, it is certain that the character of Melgs & Co. wears. as well as the greater variety in which they are shown, and the reasonable prices at which they are sold, will prove potent inducement to buy at the big store, and to buy this week.

An ordln- ary store, one just like the others about it, gets ordinary business just like the rest and has to fight hard for it. But store like this, that steps out in advance of the rest, distinguish es itself for better merchandise, gives better values, that is the one bound to build a reputation for itself and get the confidence of the public.
