banking business rather than engaging in
this new policy
Chairman Aldrich is ready to take posi-
tive stand against the passage Of the bill
and Will have the support OF a large num-
Der of senators because Of the opposition
of small bankers throughout the country
These have inaugurated a campaign
against the bill and already have taken
steps to flood their senators and congress-
men with protests against its enactment.
They urge that the state and savings
banks are necessary to communities The
position IS taken further that these small
banks in many instances win be driven
out Of business by the postal banks
In view of the opposition the prospect is
that no vote will be obtained on the postal
savings bank bill on Dec. II or on anv dav
in the immediate future II Senator Car
ter should be able TO bring the bill TO a
cred small.

Mr. Roosevelt will pay all the expenses

THE expenses of the three naturalists

will be paid by funds provided for the pur-

any government appropriation or from the
income Of the Smithsonian fund
Mr.. Roosevelt will not receive one pen

a gift to the government of specimens
worth many thousands of dollars and pos

will be limited to receiving the gift =

DEFENDS UNCLE JOE.
Littlefleld Writes a Letter Directed
at the AIethodists.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE action of the
Methodist denomination in opposing
Speaker Cannon on the ground that he
strangled the Littlefeld bill. which was
designed to prevent the shipment OF
intoxicating liquors into prohibition
districts, has called forth a letter from
Congressman Littlef1eld to Speaker
Cannon. in which he says;
AS to the Littlefield bill which l
was not able to get reported from the
committee at the last session, no one
has any authority from me to hold you
responsible for that result, 1 suppose
I ought, in fairness to say that this bill
raised some grave and close constitu-
tional questions. While l felt that the
bill would be sustained and I think it
ought to pass. the question is by no
means free from doubt and 1 would
not for a moment think of intimating
that those who take the opposite view
are insinceFe or dishonest. In fact
some of the ablest lawyers that know
entertained that view. While l do not
remember to have ever discussed this
phase of this question with you that I
understand to be your view.
TT is not to be assumed take it. that
when a member is elected speaker he
ceases to have opinions and is deprived
of the right to express and maintain
them a privilege that other members
enjoy without submitting himself to the
charge of being a dictator of the house
to the reproach OF lack OF Vlrillty
The election of a speaker should not,
in my Judgment emasculate either the
speaker or the house. That intelligent
conscientious and earnest men should
disagree upon important questions is,
take it inevitable. l certainly hope
that any view that you may entertain
on this question will not embarrass you
in your campaign, as I think L fully
realize if your constituents do not, the
vital Importance to the party and the
country of having man of your abil-
ity, intelligence, independence. courage
and intimate knowledge of public af-
fairs, not only in the house of repre-
sentatives. but in the position that you
now fill with such great acceptance to
all of the members"
