course. he wants a quarter for him.
THE letter continues. In case
Senator Tillman goes in on this deal
with some good land in the right
quarters we want, | am satisfied that
he can be of great help in getting
matters started from Washington and
cause the government TO get busy
and do something along the line YOU

WHO IS THE MAN?

Some time ago Postmaster General
Hitchcock announced that he would
like suggestions for some kind of Il
celebration of the thirteenth ami
vcrsary Of the establishment Of
rural delivery. a recent telegram
from Washington announced that
the plan of II Pennington, Mo-, man
pleased the Postmaster General
more than any other suggested.
The plan was that every beneficiary
of the rural aout" contribute one
penny, which would amount to be-
tween two and three hundred thous-
and dollars, and that this fund be
used for the erection of children
hospital. The mans name was not
given, Who is he? His suggestion
is worthy of favorable consideration.

ALDRICH CANNON VS.. TAFT

There is a probability of another
split in the Republican party when
Congress meets which Will prove as
disrupting as that OF the tariff.
President Taft has announced that
he will advocate the establishing of
postal savings banks in his annual
message This idea was set forth
in the national platform of the Re-
publican party as an offset to the
Democratic policy Of guaranteeing
bank deposits.
But Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon, at the instance of the big
financial plotters, have in view a
scheme that embraces a great cen.
trail national bank with which all
other national banks must articu-
late, so to speak, and they will not
permit any action on the Presi-
dents recommendation until after
the Monetary Conference reports,
if then. Uncle Joe" is said to
be very much opposed to postal
saving banks on the ground that
they would reduce the business of
the smaller banks of the country.
He is certainly right in that, for
it stands to reason that were postal
savings banks instituted they would
absorb and take out of circulation
thousands of small deposits that
now go to the commercial banks.

than the banks which now furnish

danger Of the power which it would

a stupeudous power such u system
ms TINT limited Mt by this Monetary
Conference of scheming fnaucirrs
