POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM
CAN'T BE STAYED


Despite the opposition of the big
interests a Postal Savings system has
got to come.
Everywhere is seen evidence of the
necessity there is for such an insti-
tuition; the people, sometimes. without
even knowing the name Of it,>vaguely
clamor for something of that nature.
1t has to come and soon.
Why, abroad, they have branches
of Postal Savings even in the schools.
In Liege, Belgium, for instance, a city
!one-tenth the size of Chicago, there
Is a fund of over $4,000 belonging
to the public school children, their
penny deposits.
A few bankers to the contrary not
withstanding, it is a safe bet that in
side OF three years you will have at
your local postoffice a savings bank,
convenient, safe, your very own. with
a name over it's door that stands for
surety and that stamps all the trans
actions carried on within with the
guarantee that has never been re-
pudiated and that means, wherever it
Is placed, just one hundred cents m
the dollar, the guarantee of the Unit
ed States.

DEMOCRATIC MULE IS

STILL WlIHOOI 1t1Dfttt
There's nothing doing in the may

are about in the same shape as they
were week ago.
After M. b. Cullum languidly re-
fused the honor rendered him by the
local committee it was offered In turn
to Frank Crassweller and Joseph
Shartel.
These two, while eminently quail
fled for the office and men whom the
Democrats Of Duluth could we'll put
in the seat of power, declined to listen
to the voice Of the charmer.
The name of Edward Ribenack was
also mentioned but it was understood
that he too refused the gage Of bat
tie thrown down.
So at present it looks as if Mayor
Haven were going to have a walk
over unless some one in his own party
has the temerity to give him a run.
In this connection the name of B.
p. Neff, secretary Of the F. A. Pat
rick company was mentioned but 1t
is known that Mr.. Neff is very favor
able to Mayor Haven and would not
consent to have his name used.
It has also been limited that Alex
ander G.. Mcknight, the Lakeside De-
mosthenes, would like to sit in the
mayors chair and has serious 'inten-
tons Of contesting with Mayor Haven

Mcknight has as much chance to
become mayor as has the proverbial
SNOWFALL in Hades and some OF his
really truly friends should tell him
so. Even if he filched the nomina-
ton the attitude which he has taken
in council on various subjects would
spell defeat in large caps.
Mcknight is hardly the man Or
ganized labor would like to see in
command at the city hall.

"TARIFF UPWARD'' ALDRICH
NOT WELCOME VISITOR

The announcement that Senator
Aldrich will make fall tour OF the
Middle West in the interests Of cur
rency and banking reform comes as
a surprise. It is a good deal: like
getting a. bad tempered bull ready
for red rag. .>s%>,
Aldrich knows lot about the cur
rency question, but what OF that? He
also knows a lot about the tariff, but
what has he done with his knowl-
edge? The tariff record made un-
der the leadership OF Aldrich has left
the west in no mood to listen to the
Rhode Islander on any subject.
If the real promoters of sound cur
rency legislation want to gather sup
port in the west, let them keep Aid
rich as far away as possible It Aid
rich insists on coming into the west
and hopes to have any influence Tor
any legislative plan he has in mind,
let him talk directly against that
plan. s ~, ; -
The west has no confidence in Aid
rich, and it instinctively distrusts
anything he advocates The betrayal
Of the country and Of the Republican
party on the tariff was especially
arrogant toward the vast section Mr..
