: Hitcltcock's Blunder.

Washington, Sept. a. President
Roosevelt is known to be thorough
ly angry at what he terms Frank
Hitchceck's blunder" in naming T.
Coleman Du Pont, the "eunpowder
trust" magnate, as the head of the
speakers bureau under the nation
al committee.
Chairman Hitchcock reasoned
that the Du Points own Delaware
and that the distinction paid Cen
eral Du Pont would 90 far toward
saving Delaware's electoral vote for
Mr.. Taft. The trouble is that many
persons, most notably Mr.. Bryan,
have bitterly attacked the kind of
politics which honors man whose
civil and possibly criminal prosecu-
tlon will be under the direction of
Mr.. Taft if he is elected.

PROMOTERS OF THRIFT.
The Republican Policy of EstnbIish-
ing Postal Savings Banks.

CHlChBO news.
The view of Mr.. Taft on the subject Of
postal saving banks are of great interest
at this time. He said in his speech accept
ing the republican nomination for president:
THE republican platform recommends
the adoption of a postal saving banks sys-
tenn in which, OF course, the government
would become responsible to the depositors
for the payment of principal and interest.
1t is thought that the government would
bring out of the boarding places much
money which would return into wealth.
producing capital, and that It would be a
great incentive for thrift in the many
small places in the country having now
no savings bank facilities which are reached
by the Postoffice department. 1t will bring
to every one,h however remote from the fl
nancial c%enters, a place of perfect safety
for deposits with interest return.
'The bill now pending in congress, which,
of course, the republican convention had
in mind, provides for the investment of the
money deposited in national banks in the
very places in which 1t is gathered or as
near thereby as may be practicable, This
is an answer to the criticism contained in
the democratic platform that under the sys-
tenn the money gathered In the country
will be deposited in Wall street banks. The
system OF postal savings banks has been
tried in SO many countries successfully
that 1t cannot be regarded longer as a new
and untrled experiment"
Further on in his speech, after critics.
ing the democratic plan OF guaranteeing
bank deposits, which, as outlined in the
Denver platform, he deems exceedingly
dangerous, Mr.. Taft says: THE republican
party prefers the postal savings bank as
one tried, safe and known to be effective,
and as reaching many more people now
without banking facilities than any other
system" Thus the candidate as well as
the candidates party is fully committed
to the establishment Of postal savings
banks.
Those popular repositories must be pro-
vided soon. The republican party and Mr..
Taft show wisdom i'm unequivocally advo-
eating their establishment.

desire for law enforcement might make
black the prevailing habit in the

another possibility by explaining that
