fifty millions of dollars OF course,
1t is not presumed by anyone that all
savings deposits would be transferred
to the postal banks, but the commit
ling to- show that the net effect upon
the whole country from such a system
would be to cause the general average
Of depositors to lose infinitely more
In interest earnings than they now
lose in bank failures.
This is the committees principal OBJ
lection to the whole scheme of postal
savings banks, much the same as has
been set forth by the Times Republic
can in repeated discussions There are
some details of the proposed bills
which the committee would oppose
were we to attempt to have the sys-
tern established. First, it has been
proposed to have a certain amount of
legal process. This, the committee
thinks, would simply furnish har-
Dor OF refuge for dead beats who had
money, but wanted to keep it by beat
ing their creditors, a very reasonable
assumption in the light of business ex-
perience. Secondly, the committee
complains that the present bills make
no provision for redepositing the money
In the same localities from which iti
comes, and. thirdly, there seems to
have been neglect to provide the very
necessary time notice of withdrawals.
In the recent panic THE sixty days
notice saved the savings banks, and
should be incorporated in any savings
system. These defects, of course,
could be renedied, but the committee
of bankers has raised some very prac-
teal objections to the postal savings
bank scheme, to be discussed and de-
bated in the Denver convention this
week.

roo "ETH,cAL" BY HALF.

Some of the more prominent physi-
clans of Des Moines have acquired
more prominence or notoriety by their
action in withdrawing from the Grant
club of that city, because as reported
in the newspapers, other physicians.
mon ethical or, to explain, physi-
clans who advertise, have been adj
mitted to membership.
1t is hard to see any good reason
for this peculiar action. The Grant
club is not medical association, but
one social, and, to a considerable ex-
tent. political. Requirements for
membership do not. 1t is to be inferred,
enter into interrogatory detail as to
the candidates profession, If a re-
spectacle and legitimate one, or his
views on the pgopriety or enormity of
pushing his business as seems fit and
right to him. In short, the Grant club
wasn't created for ethical DOCTORS"
but for such respectable men of var
ious views who should be considered
eligible for membership by commit
tee. 1t is not unlikely that some mem-
bers of the Grant club carry union
cards and Others are opposed to these
organizations. As generally under
stood the Grant club is an open"
club Why should half dozen doctors
insist on making it a "closed shop"
against other doctors who feel differ
emily OH a point in ethics over which
and at the ceaseless hen marrying
that goes on over it, the general pub
lie is inclined to mirth more than to
serious consideration?
This is a tolerant age, a thinking
age 1t can not see how a breach of
professional or even of church dis
cipline should call for complete social
ostracism The public is not likely
to see much sense and self restraint in
the course pursued by these prominent
physicians in their relations with the
fessional organization, perhaps the.
question of .ethics" might be one of
those paramount In the present case
they have put themselves into posi-
ton that if consistently held will force
either themselves or the mon ethicaP
from churches, secret orders, clubs,
etc, all down the line. And this sort
of determination neither belongs to the
age or the profession of which the Des
Moines doctors are useful and leading
members.
The question OF the Justice of ethics
which prevent exploitation Of bust
ness, does not enter the present dis
cussion. Whatever variations of opin-
ion may obtain over it, none will
question the right of medical societies
to lay down their own rules within
their own jurisdiction. 1t is only when
individuals attempt to force other or
CARNATIONS to the adoption of their
own peculiar ethics that the public
will stop to take notice and make re-
marks.

The postal savings bank scheme in
effect asks a wage worker to take his
money out of a savings bank where it
earns per cent, and to put it into
a postal bank at per cent, in order to
get the governments guarantee Of
safety The government will then put
it back into commercial banks at 2
per cent whenever the commercial
banks put up approved bonds for
