PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation Of Postal Savings
Banks in Philippines.
Two Years Experiment Indicates
the Plan Is Successful.

The only postal savings bank sys-
TEN In operation under the American
flag is that in the Philippines, where,
after two years Of experiment, the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report of the Philip
pine commission, just published, the
postal savings bank is discussed brief
~, in part as follows:
THE postal savings bank was first
opened In Manila on Oct. /, 1906.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
in each class. Following the opening
of the Manila Office, other postal saw
ings bank offices were opened in vari-
Gus cities. of different classes, until
at the close Of the year 235 had been
opened, Of which 8 were first, sc were
second and 40 were third class.
FiliDinos Adopting System.
AT first the Filipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity Of depositing a portion
OF their receipts in the postal savings
bank, anda great bulk Of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
%alities. AS the advantages Of his sys-
TEN nave been disseminated through
means of schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion OF Filipinos is continually in
creasing, and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn to trust
their money to the a of the govern
ment. and welcome the opportunity.
1.-The accounts opened up to the
close Of the fiscal year numbered
2.676. of which BAT were closed, leav-
ing 1929 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum Of 1885, 61 .O3 pc
sos-an average of 1OS.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount Of
2sO,499.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit
of sos, 463.31 pesos at the end Of the
fiscal year-or the first nine months
Of the operation OF the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months Of operation Of the average
number OF Offices, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, SO that many had
not been opened more than a month or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
Encouraging Small Accounts.
1.-THE device OF issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing a book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
'On the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has beer
gratifying. and gives good promise.
The investment of the funds is In the
hands Of a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries q certain
amount Of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power of investment. The
law provides that % per cent Of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate, under limita-
tons carefully drawn to protect the
depositors. and 10 per cent on agricul-
tural lands under still more rigid limi
tatiOns."

Y AND
Haskell Case Entirely Different from
That Of Senator Foraker.

(IrOm the Kansas City STAR
The most adverse development of the
Democratic campaign is the charge of
Standard Oil connections against Gov
ernor Haskell, treasurer Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, because Mr..
Bryan is responsible for Mr.. Haskell's
prominence in the Presidential contest.
Even II the charges are false, the
weight Of suspicion resting on Mr..
Haskell Is such that his connection
with the campaign should at once be
severed and remain severed until he
can prove his innocence.
The Haskell case is entirely different
from the Foraker case. Foraker oppos-
ed Taft to the time Of his nomination;
Taft refused to make terms with him
to secure the nomination, and has re-
fused to vouch for him since. Foraker
is down, but Taft does not need to taxA
any cognizance Of his fall. He is not
responsible for Foraker.
Haskell, politically speaking. is a
Bryan product.
And the only way to explain Mr..
Bryan's ENHANCEMENT with Haskell is
that he is about as bad a judge of
men as he Is Of issues.
Bryan is an eaperimentalist. He is
attracted by superficial qualities. He
likes new measures and new cham
pions. The hardest strain that has
been put OH the popular belief in h's
individual sincerity has been imposed
by the unsound policies he has espouscd
and the unsounl counsel he has sought.

Democratic "PubIicity" Duplicity.
The Democratic party OF the country,
through it's representatives in Congress,
is on record as voting down a bill pro
viding for publicity of campaign con-
tributioHs in national elections and for
voting down a bill providing against
fraudulent registration and fraudulent
elections. Such is Democratic duplic-
ity and Democratic insincerity in re-
gard to this subject which has been
dignified into a campaign issue.-James

Paterson, New Jersey, is going

Among other amusing things
is the spectacle of a republican
congressman who dare not call
his congressional soul his own
talking about the incapacity of
the Filipinos for self govern
ment.
The Boston Herald says the
failure of the anti-injunction bill
leaves the country at the mercy

merely leaves the country at the
