AT the annual meeting of the Saw
ings Bank Association of the State of
New York, Clark Williams, State Super
intendent of Banks, said that 4 per
cent. was too high rate of interest for
some of them to pay, and declared that
his endeavors were.to secure general re-
duction of the rate of interest in the in
stitutlons of the state. Mr.. Williams said
savings banks were semi-philanthropic
institutions and were repositories of the
savings of the provident poor. To these
assertions no one will take exception.
That is what they are, and not money
making institutions beyond the amount
necessary to pay the expenses of them
and the interest on deposits offered as
an inducement to the provident poor to
save the surplus over their living eX-
penses. In wise investment Of the
deposits these profits are made and
they are made theoretically at a safe
interest rate. If, as is Mr.. Williams
contention, or, at least, the logic of it,
he interest, given is too large, it vii
lead to unwise investments of the de-
posts in an endeavor to gain an inter-
est rate sufficient to pay expenses and
the 4 per cent. to depositors. All of
which would seem to be true.

DEATH OF JOHN II. THOMPSON.

A Hawley correspondent furnishes
us the following particulars of the
death of Hon. John H. Thompson, a
prominent resident of that borough,
and former representative of this
district in the Legislature:
Our town was greatly shocked
last Thursday evening by the news
of the sudden death of John H.
Thompson, Esq. He had gone to
his Office after supper, in apparently
usual health. His wife, calling at
the place of business a little later,
found him suffering from severe pain
about the region of the heart, and
summoned physician at once.
Friends came in to remove him
to his home, and it is thought that
he expired on the way. The prob
able cause of death was acute in
digestion. He had had a similar
attack about two months previously,
from which he had not fully recov-
cred.
Mr.. Thompson was born in Hope
well, n. Y, July so, 1885. He was
the oldest of his fathers family of
four children, and the only son, Mrs.
Elizabeth Hicks, sister next younger
than he, died at Middletown, n. Y,
last fall.
When Mr.. Thompson was five
years old his father died, and the
family then moved near to Mid
! dletown, where his early life passed
uneventfully attending school and
! laying good foundation education
ally and morally for the long and
! useful career which followed.
/ On the 18th of March, 1926, he
married Miss Eleanor NJ. Todd, of
after removed to Hawley, where he
had since lived.
Mr.. Thompson had been a prom
inent business man in Hawley, all
these years, and preserved his men
tai and physical strength and buoy
ant interest in affairs up to the
very hour of his death. He first
engaged in the meat business, and
then went into the employ of the
Pennsylvania coal company, a posi-
tion which he held many years.
After and since that time he was
in the harness business, running a
large and well-stocked store.
Mr.. Thompson was a public Of
ficer of some sort since first coming
to Hawley. He had been assessor
tax-collector, twice the burgess of
the f1ourishing village, and at
the time of his decease was in his
fifteenth year as justice of the
peace. Politically he was a Demo-

crat, and in November, 1898, was
elected to the House of Representa-
tives, in which position he fully sus-
tanned his reputation as a friend of
the working masses.
He had been a member of Wan.
gum Lodge, l. o. o. F., forty-five
years, and was a charter member of
High-Sun Lodge of Red Men. He
had been long time member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, only
few years since closing a term of
seven years superintendency of the
Sunday school. After such a long,
varied, honorable and respected ca
reer as this it is not fulsome praise
to say that no man here would be
more greatly missed than he.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and two sisters-Mrs. Harrison
Thompson, of Pompton Plains, N.
j., and Miss Frank NJ. Thompson,
of Middletown, N. Y.
Funeral service was held at the
Thompson residence Sunday after
noon at o'clock, Rev. Benz. P.
Ripley officiating. A large con-
course of people was present, with a
representation of some seventy-five
Odd Fellows. On Monday morning
the body was laid to rest with the
dust of kindred at Middletown, N.
York

The State Game Commission is
now engaged in the investigation of
one OF the most malicious and un-
mitigated cases Of cruelty and bird
murder that has ever been brought
to it's notice. Some time ago it
came to the knowledge of the COM
mission that a farmer near Dewart,
Northumberland county, was engag-
ed in poisoning all kinds of birds
with doped food, and that so wanton
was his destruction that he had lit
orally slaughtered them by the
thousands. Investigation proved
that this had been done from pure
malice. An agent found that the
man had poisoned the birds in win
ter, even when there was snow on
the ground, and at time when they
could not possibly have been destruc.
tive. Another case of bird poisoning
has been reported from near Parkes
burg, and this, too, will be investi
gated.

The apparently useless Vermiform
appendix and the dreaded appendi-
citis are of late having a close rival
in disfavor in another tieshly eXcres-
cence known as adenoids; and oper-
ations for their removal, and by that
means the prevention of the ills of
which they are the source, are warm
ly recommended by leading physl-
clans. Adenoids are described as
curious little cauliflower-like growths
which appear at the junction OF the
nasal cavity and the pharynX. They
are often observed at birth, but they
seldom cause discomfort until some
months later. Then they interfere
with respiration and cause the baby
to be restless. 1t tosses in it's sleep
and wakens suddenly, crying out as
if in distress. If adenoids are per-
mitted to remain they deform the
mouth, teeth, throat, chest and
face. At their worst they produce
pop-eyes and what is called frog
face. They cause mouth breathing,
with all its attendant evils. They
open the way for hundred and one
ills, from rupture of the eardrum,
running from the ears, coughs ana
tonsilitis to pulmonary tuberculosis.
A slight operation sufTices to remove
them. The baby suffers little pain
and loses little blood. Out they
come, and with them the overgrown
tonsils that commonly accompany
them. If they are suffered to re-
main they may never be discovered.
But it is certain that in one way
or another, directly or indirectly
they will cause damage.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, June Tine pro
gressive" craftsmanship of the Sen
ate has proven a highly expansive
luxury. 1t would be impossible to
estimate the frightful cost of main
tanning the school of statesmen of
which Mr.. La Toilette is the chief
eXemplar. In recent speech in the
Senate Mr.. Penrose referred to the
exalted craftsmanship" that had
wasted four hours in the discussion
of proposed change in the Dingley
law that might result in an addition
al cost of few cents in the painting
of a sx-room house. The Pennsyl
vania senator merely emphasized a
condition with which the country
gradually is becoming familiar. For
many weeks the ''progressives' in
the face of the urgent demand of the
labor and capital of the United States
for the enactment of a tariff bill
have conducted a hopeless and sense
less filibuster. They have not
changed a syllable of the measure pre-
pared by the Finance Committee and
they have no expectation of doing
this. They frankly admit that the
bill the Senate will pass is the Com
mittee's bill. But unmoved by the
appeal of the man who has no work
for action that will provide it, La
Toilette and his followers persist in
their reckless obstruction. 1t is no
concern of theirs that the man with
out work in time is certain to be
without bread.
The Dingley bill, which provided
the most satisfactory tariff system
this country has ever known, was
constructed by the Finance Commit
tee, of which Mr.. Aldrich was then,
as he is now, chairman. 1t encount-
cred no filibuster in the Senate. But
that Senate had no Cumminses, La
Follettes, Dollivers, Beveridges or
Bristows. It's membership did not
include one Chautauqua lecturer to
abuse the senatorial privilege of un-
limited discussion for advertising for
the next seasons circuit. The bill it
passed was not impeded by the clam
or of the LaFollette type of dema-
gogue. 1t diu not know the blight
of progressive craftsmanship. A
demand for downward" revision is
the excuse of the obstructionists for
delaying the tariff bill. They are
unmindful of the fact that the ma
tional platform does not pledge the
Republican party to downward"
NOR to upward" revision but to re-
vision that will operate to the ad-
vancement of all of the people. 1t
is precisely that sort of revision the
bill proposes. In reaching an agree
ment upon such measure Republi'

have joined in a patriotic endeavol
to give the country legislation thai

The man in town thinks all a
farmer has to do is to sit under a
shade tree and watch things grow.
The farmer thinks all a town man
has to do is to sit behind the counter
or at the desk and rake in the money.
This is the reason that every farmer
wants to move to town and every
town man wants to move on a farm.
1t is only the cropping out of the
spirit of dissatisfaction, which leads
men to think that every mans job
is better than his own.

Elsewhere we give the points on

Elsewhere we give the points on
which counsel for the Italian muir
derer John Barbuoto intends to base
an application for new trial Tor
the unspeakable wretch. Mr.. Full
lerton's own statement concedes
sufficient evidences of Barbuoto s
guilt and the enormity of his crimes,
to warrant stringing him to the
nearest lamppost. 1t is not denied
that he was one of the murderous
and lustful gang that lured an in
nocent and trustful stranger and MS
bride, with another near relative,
to their unutterably tragic and pltl-
able fates, but it is held to be pos
sible that the poor widows story on
the witness stand may have been so
eloquent in it's description or the
fiendish acts subsequent to the
murder which she was obliged to
witness, but for which specific crime
he was not then technically on trial,
as to have prejudiced the jury! Then
it is gravely suggested that Mrs
Gaetano's positive assertion under
oath that she saw Barbuoto shoot
her husband is open to question,
because the accused and convicted
ruffian who made her widow, de-
MES that he fired the fatal shot!
Which would be the most likely TO
tell the truth--the disconsolate and
innocent woman, whose every pre-
liminary statement and story of the
tragedy was singularly verified at
the trial, or the condemned wretch,
fighting, like a Gagged rat, for pro-
longation of his worthless and just
ly forfeited life? Ine sooner the
electric chair puts Barbuoto beyond
the reach of maudlin sympathy, and
the possibility of miscarriage OF
justice through ingenious technical
tiles, the better for the world.
