NEW MOVEMENT WAS NECESSARY

We run across watches every day
which have been in the hands of in
experienced workmen, and while
they can usually be overhauled and
made to give satisfaction, or to an
sWer, it is quite often we find them
in such condition as requires a new
movement. We have put in new
movements right often recently for
this cause, and to those who have
been unfortunate in this respect we
wish to advise that it isn't neces-
sary to throw your watch away. A
new movement isn't as expensive as
a new watch. Get that one out
which you think has been ruined
and bring it down for an estimate
just Little Better.
We strive to do just little better
by you in all of our departments,
whether it be in repair work or our
sales department. Well enough ism
good enough, if it isn't the best.
Just little better" is in mind
all the time, and we not only try to
improve on others, but to improve
on our own. We are not experiment.
ing, but improving.

Satan Is Behind the Teachers En-

in Sunday Morning Sermon.

III sunday Morning Sermon.
Declaring that Andrew Carnegie's
gift for the support of retired
school teachers was prompted by
Satan, Rev. o. B. Chester con-
demned in strong words at the Meth
odist church Sunday morning the
provision of the endowment which
excerpts teachers in church schools.
Mr.. Chester explained that he did
not mean to condemn Mr.. Carnegie,
who, he said, was perhaps unaware
of just what incalculable harm had
been done in this connection. BY
excluding teachers in church schools,
the minister said, the famous phi
lanthropist had struck squarely at
religion and the spreading of the
gospel.

OPPOSE POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Denver. Sept. 2S-Postal Savings
Banks are opposed in the report of
the committee on that subject, ap-
pointed by the American Bankers
Association, consisting of +. Leroy
Harwood. Myron 7. Herrick, c. La
Rue Munson. Francis r. Morrison,
Charles f. Sprague, Lucius Peter and
William Hanhart, as secretary.
The report made today is as fol
lows:
To the president and members OF
the Savings Bank Section:
Denver. Sept. 2S. 1908.
1. 1t is our opinion that unless
imperitively demanded by public
needs the functions of the United
States government should not be ex-
tended TO the spheres more properly
occupied by state governments, or
by corporate or individual effort.
2. The savings system of the ma
iority of the states, with the modern
facilities for transacting business by
mail, are adequate to the needs OF
the people, and the safeguarding OF
their deposits. 1t is evidenced by
the record of this association that it
is the constant endeavor Of the bank
ing fraternity TO improve these con-
ditions in the remaining states.
3. Although. in our opinion, no
great detriment will result to the
existing savings bank system from
the establishment of postal savings
depositaries, inasmuch as the present
facilities are superior to any that
could be afforded by the govern
ment. or to those of the countries
where postal savings banks now eX-
ist. yet the previous experiences OF
the United States government in
conducting banking institutions, and
notably in connection with the Freed
mems Savings and Trust company,
do not encourage us to believe that
the proposed postal savings system
would be managed more wisely or
with better success than the existing
savings institutions.
4. We think it preferable to edu-
cate the newly arrived foreigner to
American methods rather tnan to
accommodate our methods to his in
experience.
5. We point with pride to the
record of the savings institutions OF
the limited States. While the figures
for 1907 are not yet available, dur
ing the year 1906 the aggregate net
loss to depositors was the trivial
sum of $4,000, being three-ten-
thousands of one per cent on total
of three billion. five hundred million
dollars in savings deposits. whereas.
the proposed government rate of two
per cent would have deprived the
depositors of at least fifty million
dollars in interest in the same year
6. We submit that our savings
institutions have performed a great
service throughout the United States
