Indians at White House.

Washington.-Sen Warren, ac.
companied Agent II. E. Wadsworth
and eight Shoshone and Arapahoe In
dians from the Wind River reserva-
ton to the White House Wednesday,
introduced them to President Roose-
welt and later took them to call upon
Secretary Taft. The Indians lost their
accustomed stolidity Immediately after
meeting the President and exhibited
the liveliest interest, for he commenced
talking to them in the sign language
of their respective tribes, which he
learned while on hunting trips in their
country in his Western cattle raising
days.
Little Wolf, an Apache chief, gave
the President an elaborate tobacco
pouch made of porcupine quills and
beads and handsome Indian pipe. In
return he was presented with large
photograph of the President, with
these words written across it by the
President himself:
ITO Little Wolf, with the thanks Of
President Roosevelt"
While pleased with Roosevelt, they
were more pleased with Secretary
Taft, admiring his size and designating
him as a very big war chief"

Senator Dixon of Montana, Represen-
tative Bonynge and DR.. A. " Cooke, a

in favor of the measure. At the con-
clusion of the hearing the committee

POSTMASTER GENERAL MEYER
WRITES LETTER TO SENA-

DESCRIBES HIS PLAN
QUOTES STATISTICS OF OTHER
COUNTRIES AND ENLARGEs ON
VALUE TO THE PEOPLE.

Washington. - Senator Guggenheim
has been making careful inquiry into
the proposed plan of establishing gov
ernment postal savings banks. In the
course of his investigation Senator
Guggenheim called upon Postmaster
General Meyer for brief statement
of his views upon the proposed legis-
lation and in response recently re-
ceived the following:
"My Dear Senator-I am presenting
for your consideration the proposition
for the establishment of postal savings
banks.
"In foreign countries such banks
have been in satisfactory operation for
many years. In illustration of the ex-
tent to which they are availed of by
the people, and their growing popular
ity, the following table based upon a
message from the President to the
House of Representatives (Fifty-ninth
Congress, second SESSION. has been
complied:
The Colorado statesman., 1908-03-21
GREAT BRITAIN.


wk1Ch should be attained by the estab-
lishment of postal savings banks: ID
The forming of habits of economy and
thrift by the great mass of people. (2)
The providing of place entirely above
suspicion for the deposit of funds. 90
The bringing into circulation of vast
sums of money now boarded here or
sent out of the country by foreigners.
while there are many communities
in the eastern states fortunately stu
ated as to banking facilities, statistics
indicate that of the $4,000 100000 de-
posted In savings institutions through
out the United States, the combined
holdings of thirty-five states are but
per cent. OF the total. There are, there
fore, great numbers of our people who
are practically without banking facii-
ties. Indeed, it is found that in the
South the average distance from the
postofflce to the nearest savings bank
is thirty-three miles; in the states west
of the Rockies. fifty-five miles.
There can be no question as to the
advisability of encouraging the foreign
ers within our borders to make such
disposition of their savings that some
benefit may accrue to the communities
in which they are employed. Most of
these people come from countries in
which postal savings banks have long
been established, and they have little
confidence in any depository for say
ings which is not absolutely vouched
for by the government. In the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1907, money orders
amounting to $74,0S0, ,711.06 left this
country. in the calendar year 1907 S94,-
S92, ,716.04, to replenish foreign coffers
and in addition many millions were un-
doubtedly sent through the agency of
banks and express companies.
"The rate of interest Is variable, not
only in different countries, but in diff
ferent years in the same country, as
Indicated below:
Great Britain-Interest is allowed
on deposits at the rate of 21s per cent
per annum. No interest is paid on any
sum In excess of f200.
"France-The rate of interest paid
is 21s per cent. per annum.
"Belgium-Interest is paid at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum on

Beer Foam Causes Traaedy.

Trinidad, Colo.-While attempting, it
is claimed, to prevent James Bissick,
a bartender in saloon at Bowen, from
shooting stranger because the latter
had objected to the amount of foam in
glass of beer, Edward James was
late Saturday night shot in the left
breast just above the heart, the bullet
ranging downward and causing death
five hours later. Immediately after
the shooting Bissick was arrested,
taken before justice of the peace and
released on $500 bonds. When Bissick
learned that James had died, he came
to Trinidad and surrendered himself
to the sheriff.

Boulder Completes Y. M. C. A. Fund.

SodioCI SoIIPlStCS ms -. -. TuUu.
Denver.-A Boulder dispatch We'd
nesday night says: There was great
jubilation tonight because the $4,000
asked for to complete and furnish the
handsome four-story Young Mems
Christian Association building here
was raised. The campaign started
ten days ago and was filled with I'M
usual perplexities.
Tonight was the last night and If
the total amount had not been raised
by 10 o'clock, many of the heavy sub
scriptions would have been forfeited.
At Z o'clock p. m, when full returns
came in, the subscriptions still lacked
$1,360 of the full amount Volunteer
subscriptions were then asked for and
in less than an hour the deficit had
been raised, with 5000 more, making a
total of S30,200.
Whistles then began to blow and
all the church and fire bells in town
were rung, while many of the Young
Mems Christian Association boys pa
raded the streets and sang and
cheered. This means that the building
will be thoroughly equipped in all de-
partments and be absolutely free of
debt.

Suicide weather.

George Kennans article on The Prob
lens 81 Suicide" IN spite Of its grnesome
title. is collection 81 extraordinary sta
tistics which are full Of interesting sug-
gestions. Mr. KEENAN, finds that the
clear, dry days show the greatest number
81 suicides, and The wet, partly cloudy
days the least; and with differences too
great To be attributed to accident Or
chance. In fact, as rule, the tendency
to suicide, throughout the civilized world,
is greatest in the pleasantest season OF
the year; that II Is everywhere greatest
in the pleasantest month OF the pleasant.
est season; and that in New York Ilty
ii II greatest on the clearest and sunni
est days Of the pleasantest month. From
the point ar view of science, therefore, 1T
is perfectly reasonable and absolutely
accurate to say on a beautiful, sunny
day in early june, This Is reuglar suicide
Weather
When, however, investigators began
to study the subject in the light 81 ar-
curate statistics, when they grouped sui
cides bY months and compared one month
with another, they were surprised to find
that the tendency to suicide was great
est, not in the gloomy and depressing
months of November and December, but
il June. In 1898 Dr. Oscar Geek Of
Strasburg. published statistics Of about
100000 suicides that took place III Prus
sia in the twenty year peroid between
1876 and 1896. They showed that. ~
far al least as Prussia was concerned,
suicides invariably attained there maxi
mum III june and their minimum in De-
eemher There was constant rise in
tie suicide curve from January to the
end 0f June, and a constant decline from
June to the end of the first winter
month
"Durkheim of Paris and Dr. Gubski Of
~. Petersburg. who are among the most
recent investigators Of the subject, assert
that. so far IA the seasonal distribution
of suicides is concerned, the figures for
Prussia hold good throughout Europe
Iune Il everywhere the suicide month,
and December is everywhere the month
in which self-destruction is least FREE

DISCIPLINE IN BERLIN.
The Germans Not Only Obey Rules, But
are Unhappy Without Them.

The Berliners, and the rest Of the Ger
mans are the most governed people on
earth. They like 1t and howl for more.
They have restrictions Of all kinds
placed on the order Of their daily liyes,
but they are used to it. Indeed, they
have arrived at a sort of mental state
in which they look TO Che authorities
to tell them what to do, and how to do
il, in every contingency. "Nerbotenl"
rs the German word that has the great
est vogue, 50 far as was able to see.
"Forbidden.n stares them in the face
everywhere. They are regulated in all
sorts Of ways, down to the manner they
shall conduct themselves IN their houses.
There is a certain time for beating rugs,
a certain time for playing the piano, a
certain time for everything else. You
can move your household goods only in
certain way. You cannot shake a dust
rag ont of a window You cannot do
this and you cannot do that, and, they
told me. after you once get accustomed
to it. it is a comfortable way to live.

your work and how YOU must do it. #

Every Berliuer does exactly what he
IS expected to do. and you must do the
same. AS an example OF how well train
ed they are. they are net obliged TO
have guards on the underground trains
in Berlin. The Berlin folks know they
are expected 10 shut the doors, and they
shut them. II you observe their regula-
tions you are not disturbed, but If sou
