that year WAS merely a forerunner Of

going to the polls year after year and
carry on a hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want to set good example

1896 they repudiated Bryan and the free

by staying at home on election day.

part of our financial system by the
action OF Congress at its coming ses-
sion, which will be convened in Deem

accomplished towards the enactment OF

Committee Report.
The purpose Of this bill is to place
at the disposal Of people Of small
means the machinery Of the POstoffice
Department to aid and encourage them
to save their earnings The subject Of
postal savings banks or repositories is
not new i'm this country and 1t may be
truly said to be quite familiar to the
people Of Europe and the British colon
les. The propriety OF establishing
postal savings banks became the sub
ject Of discussion in England as early
as 1907. Every objection to such use
Of the pOstsfiice facilities urged in this
country was vigorously pressed in tho
d in England.
For over fifty years private savings
institutions waged bitter opposition to
the growing sentiment in favor Of postal
savings banks. but notwithstanding
such opp ition lin 1861 an act Of Par
lament Cd. AS passed entitled An act
to grant additional facilities for de-
posting small savings with the security
Of the government for the due repay
ment thereof" That the alarm Of pri-
vate institutions was i'll founded is
amply proven by the recorded fact that
the private savings banks increased
their capital by more than ten millions
Of dollars in the first fifteen years fol-
lowing the establishment Of postal saw

That the postal savings institutions

step has ever been taken in England on
this subject and by the further fact

ings institutions are sufficiently numer-
Gus to accommodate the people, but
such areas are quite limited, being con.
fined to New England and New York.
1t Is alleged that by reason Of the num-
Der and location of savings banks there
is one savings account to every two Of
the population Of New England, where
as In all the country outside New En-
gland and New York the average il
only one savings account to every l57
Of the population. Taking such figures
to be approximately correct and recOg.
nizing the fact that the people Of all
sections Of this country are pretty
much the same In habits. inclinati0ns,
and purposes, 1t must be obvious to the
most casual observer that the people
Of the South. the Middle West, and the
West do not save their earnings as do
those Of New England from the mere
want Of secure places In which deposits
may be made.
To those who feel inclined to believe
that the establishment Of postal say.
ings repositories will involve an ele-
ment of paternalism 1t seems quite sui.
icient to suggest that the machinery Of
the Postofiice Department is now In ex.
istence and will continue to exist with.
out diminutiOn Of expense whether
such repositories are created or not
and that the establishment Of these
repositories for the benefit of the
people will not involve one farthing Of
loss to the Post Office Department, but
will probably, on the contrary, prove
more than self-sustaining. Very slight
computation will clearly demonstrate
that the postal savings depOsitors can
not burden the Post Office Department
with any additional deficiency.

THE STANDARD OIL co.
 WANTS EARLY DECISION
As to Whether 1t Has Been Prose-
 cuted Under Dead and Gone Law.

Chicago. Jan. 1l.-Attorneys for the Standard oil today filed peti- tion in the circuit court of appeals asking that body to certify to the su- premc court of the United States an allegation as to the validity of the Elkins law. under which the Standard Oil company was indicted and fined S29,240.0sQ for rebating. The step was taken in pursuance of an appeal against the big fine.
 IL is contended that the Elkins law was repealed by the passage of the Hepburn bill in 1906. The Standari oil company's petition seeks to have the question certified in the oil case so it may be decided when the similar Great Northern case is settled. The petition was taken under advisement. Should the Elkins law be declared in valid all the indictments against the corporation will be rendered void. as would also the fine.

HOUSE DIVIDED
 ON PARTY LINES
On the Bill for the Qualification and
 Revision of Penal Laws.

Washington. Jan. 11.-A vigorous fight was waged in the house today. over the bill to codify and revise the penal laws of the United States with particular reference to the section af- fecting conspiracies against the civil rights Of citizens. Messrs. Smith. of Missouri and Hughes of New Jersey offered amendments having for their object the exemption of labor unions from the operation of the section, whenever such unions declare strikes or boycotts. A motion to strike out the whole section was made by Mir. Bartlett of Georgia.
 The brunt of the debate was borne by MT. Sherley of Kentucky. member of the committee on revision. but he was supported by Q number of repub- licans. The only amendment to pass was one by MT. Clark of Missouri, striking out that portion of the section which provides for offenders, the ad- ditional punishment of ineligibility to hold any office of honor or trust, or profit under the government. In all cases the republican leaders mustered their full strength and were thereby enabled to vote down all amendments which were deemed unreasonable. The exceeding arnestness of the debate led to the charge that there had been a prearrangement, but this was denied. The democratic leaders declared that they had no intention of conducting a filibuster. The fact that many votes taken during the somewhat stormy de- bate were almost strictly party votes. was declared by the democratic lead CTS to be incidental and not signifi- cant of any preconcerted plan. It is likely that the discussion of the bill on points of law will be indulged in from time to time for several weeks.

IHE INJUNCTION SUIT
 A6AINSI MINERS UNION
A Further and Perhaps Final Hearing Will Be Had at Carson Tomorrow.

Carsons Nev., Jan. 1.-The federal circuit court today took up the mat ter of the injunction against the min CTS union of Gcldfield. asked for by the mine owners association. Affi- davits were presented and read to the court by the attorney for the opera tors. All tended to show that the miners union had been the prime factor in all labor troubles in the camp. The union is accused of coun- tenancing the action of the thigh graders" and protecting them in their fight against the change of room system.
 The case will be taken up Monday when it is expected that Sheriff In- gals will be present and will testify in behalf of the miners union. Other peace officers will be called to prove the contention that tte troops are un- necessary and that GSldfield is peace ful and in no need of an injunction or other measure.

 NOT AFRAID H5 is Glad to Get Back to

If the Sky is Cloudy It Will Soon Be Cleared Up.

Rome. Jan. 11.-Baron Takahira, the Japanese minister to Italy. has receiv- ed official notification from TOkio of his appointment as ambassador to the United States. Tonight he said: While I am not hsensible of the re- responsibilities involved in the mission. owing to the growing importance of the relations between the United States and Japan. I am exceedingly well pleased to return to Washington, where l believe I have a large num- Der of friends whose sympathy l ap- preciate most highly. What I shall have to do there am not prepared to say until after my arrival at Wash ington.
 With regard to the disquieting alarmist reports that have so often appeared in the newspapers concern ing the Japanese-American feeling. l am convinced that there is no ground whatever for them. l never attached any importance to them, as I fully be- lieve in the indisputable sincerity of the friendship existing between the two countries as it existed before any talk of antagonism arose.
 Already 1t begins to be evident that what was in no sense at all threaten ing previous to the voyage of the fleet to the Pacific Is what has be- come to be declared so indiscriminate- ly as a menace to Japan. Note my words: The sky will be completely clear before long"
 ATr Takahira will leave here al the end of January or the beginning of February for London. taking passage immediately for the United States.

covery movement" is in temporary abeyance.
 The recent edicts from the throne against the agitation have not had a conclusive effect. but have brought about a change for the better in the tone of the native press Certain members of the government are doubtful of the ultimate outcome of the measures adopted by the throne. They reason that some are not con- vinced of the sincerity of the govern ment in extending oppressive measures to the provinces. There was even talk today among high officials that in any other country this would be received as presaging a revolution. China al present has many important questions on her hands aside from the negotia- ton with Japan and England. Ac- cording to some the government ap- pears to be growing weaker. but this is evidently due to the fact that her contentious with the powers and in ternal difficulties came up at the same time.

 Sir John N. Gordon. British minister to China, is today sanguine of satis- factory settlement of the West river difficulty. Trouble arises from the prevalence of piracy on the waterway which Great Britain is now policing with a small fleet of gunboats.
 A British gunboat while searching the West river recently, stopped and boarded a French boat. As soon as the nationality CT the suspected yes seI was made known she was released and permitted to go. The course fol- lowed by Great Britain with regard to Manchuria is expected ultimately to determine whether any other power than the Japanese will be permitted to find investment in that territory.
