man, when such schemes rear their ugly heads in
parliament.
The English Labor Party has recently seized
the peace idea At parliamentary con-
gress held in Germany the leaders Of the English
Labor Party pledged the support of their constit-
uents to the promotion of international peace and
the substitution OF arbitration-the civilized
method Of settling disputes-between nations
The French wordngmen and those Of other Eu-
ropean nations have long advocated peace, bur
the English have held aoof
The latest movement of the English represen-
tatves at the congress, however, is a decided ad-
vance and will strengthen the cause of peace
throughout the world. 1t is the workingmen the
producers of wealth, who bear most of the taxa
ton as the result of wars, and it is the working
men who reap but little of the glory of war. And
when the representatives of labor firmly and in
ternationally pledge themselves against war, and
all its horrors nations will be forced to find some
means of deciding their differences other than the
rule Of might
The movement for peace on the part of these
European leaders, who really have great infu-
ence with the masses of the workingmen, is
highly significant, as it is the most potent force
that is working for peace in this world to-day.
Wars will cease when the great masses of the

, POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

nj ATURALLY the bankers object to the gov
4 ernment plan OF postal savings banks, and
at the convention in Denver the scheme was
criticized from the bankers point of view. Some
of the objections are sound but the postal saw
ings bank idea has been taken up because of per-
sistent demands OF grangers and others in the
Western districts for such banks. 1t is unlikely
that the bankers opposition will be effective,
A speaker at the convention of bankers pointed
out that the money received by banks is invested
to help business locally and should this monev
be diverted by the government in the postal bank
plan, it would 90 into distant channels and the
banks would be weakened. This is sound objec-
ton.
For instance much OF the money put in our
own savings banks is loaned on mortgages in this
community and is in active service, beneftng
the city.
Savings banks have been started as branches
OF some Of the banks in the lower part OF the
State, but the deposits have not been large. In
Delaware, therefore, we fancy that there will be
little demand for the postal banks, certainly not
so long the local savings institutions as
well managed as at present, and long as they
continue to pay the present rate OF interest 20 de-

Mr.. KERN USES A PASS.

NIOWet that the relations Of candidates TO vari-
Gus corporations and predatory interests
are being discussed Vice-Presdential Candidate
Kern, on the Democratic ticket gets into the
light Mr.. Kern was so unfortunate as 10 lose his
railroad pass the other day and some fellow
found It. Mr.. Kern thinks that his wallet con-
tainingl the pass must have been stolen. The
pass, he explains, was one on the Big -Four rail-
road, for which company he acted as attorney in
damage suits.
SO 1T appears that the vice-presidental candi-
date of the Democrats is a railroad attorney
travelling on pass. The instant the locomotive
ticket of Delaware hears Of this Mr.. Kern will
probablybe summoned 20 Delaware.
The loss of the wallet raises a new point. The
stealing of letters Of the Standard oil Company
Is followed by a story that the index system of
Chairman Hitchcock was mixed by some intruder
and the Republican headquarters OF New York
were looted of some valuable papers.
Travelling statesmen may have to put padlocks
on their pockets and Gordon of police may be
thrown around letter files in the various head
quarters.

LABOR MOVEMENT For PEACE.

a MID the general outcry Of increased armies
and navies, the stories of new implements
for warfare the rumors and specuatons as to
the probability of war between this nation and
some other country. the queer Hobsonesque war
scares it is interesting to observe a discordant
note. While there is talk Of Germany springing
at the throat of England, and while the profess
sional war men are mapping out the coming
great battles, representatives of the laboring
masses OF Europe are enthusiastically working
for peace, because peace means so much to the
masses of the people
The working classes Of Europe, through their
political parties,have long been waging a propa-
ganda for peace as opposed TO war One Of the
tenets Of the great Socialist party of Germany is
the gospel of peace and the party breaches this
gospel in its platforms and through the voices OF
its members in the Kaisers parliament All the
magnificent schemes OF barbarous war are op-
posed by the party that represents the working

oPTIMIST CLUB.

nVER in London they have a new idea in club
- life. The latest organization is the club Of
Optimists-the fellows who intend TO preach the
gospel of Good Cheer very desirable gospel in
these days. Only those who make point of
looking on the bright side of things eligible
to membership in the club. The hall porter and
all the servants about the club are to be cheerful
men, and long faces will be tabooed.
Gay and bright will be the decorations Of the
club house. and notices such as "Why worry; it
will be all the same in one hundred years will
be the sentiments of the club. Any member OF
the club who is convicted on the evidence of two
of his fellows of being in the club for half hour
without smiling will be forced to pay a fine.
Those who express pessimistc opinions will have
to treat their fellows to champagne
Lectures will be delivered from time to time,
showing that there is no cause for despair and
that the world is not going to the dogs. 1t is
stated that already there is large list of applca
tions and the club promises to be prosperous.
Optimists' clubs are good. The man who tries
to be cheerful under all circumstances is the hap
piest man. In the London club, as in most other
clubs, as occasion requires, pessimism will be
driven out and optimism accelerated by the cup
that cheers.
