IN the great commercial countries

legislation which will put our financial
system oman efilCient and permanent
basis, It,is much to be wished that
one feature Of the financial legislation
or this session should be the establish
ment OF postal savings banks. Ample
appropriation should be made to enable
the interstate Commerce commission
to carry out the very important feat
uFe Of the Hepburn Law which gives to
the commission supervision and CON
troll over the accounting systems Of the
railways. Failure to provide means
which will enable the commission 70

at, as nothing else could beneft, those
railways which are coFruptly or in-

Power should unqnestiohnbly be
lodged somewhere In the executive
branch Of the government to permit
combinations which will further the
public interest; but II must always be
remembered that, as regards the great

Winston Churchill to Wed.

Now that Winston Churchill has won
his victory at Dundee. 1t is interesting
to know that he is reported engaged
to Lady Dorothy Howard daughter OF
the earl OF Carlisle. and that this lady
assisted to the best of her ability in
the campaign, making speeches at
street corners In behalf of the liberal
licensing bill and otherwise giving
her active help. Mr.. Churchills moth
er, Mrs. Cornwallis West, or Lady
Randolph Churchill, as she is generally
known. has for many years taken an
active interest in politics. making
speeches for Mr.. Churchill's father in
his many campaigns. The rumor that
the countess of Warwick is coming
to take part in the Ohio compaign this
fall excites the interest Americans
feel in the work OF women in political
campaigns.

There can be no high society where
conversation is not the chief attrac-
ton; and men seldom learn to talk
well when not inspired by gifted WON

circle who cannot draw out the senti-

genius gains more from the inspira-
tion Of one brilliant woman than from
all the bookworms Of many colleges.
