POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Discssing the proposed establish
ment Of postal savings banks, the
Florida Times Union says:
Senator Heyburns statement that
the proposed postal savings bank bill
Is a plan for taking money from the
poor to lend it to the rich need not
have been confined to the ranks of this
kind only. 1t applies in as great
measure to all banks as to the postal
savings banks. 1t is not entirely true
of banks of this class or of anyother;
for banks of any class are very glad
to receive deposits from the rich as
well as from the poor, and they do not
conf1ne their loans entirely to the
rich.
But the lending of money is bust
proposition on the part of the banks.
They would not lend If they did not
feel sure OF getting it back and they
feel more certain that they will get
1t back from the rich than from the
poor. 1t may be said of any class Of
banks that they enable rich men to
use the poor mans money ofterner
than they enable the poor man to use
the rich mans money. They are bust
ness-not elemonsynary institutions
"But the poor man whose money the
bank takes gets interest on his money
and the rich man who borrows 1t pays
interest and it must be remembered
that the poor man need not deposit un-
less he wishes.
"Bue we can't take the experience of
Germany, France of England as proof
that postal savings banks would be
beneficial here. The financial systems
of these countries are not like ours
The Bank of England, Bank of France
and the Imperial Bank of Germany are
closer to the government and the two
latter closer to the people than any
banks in this country. The Bank
of France lends in extremely small
amounts and men in moderate circum-
stances can borrow from it. The men
who deposit in postal savings banks
abroad can also borrow from them.
"The proposition here is to accept de-
posits from the people and turn them
over to the national banks. Under
this arrangement The government

THE FRANKlNG PRIVILEGE.

President Roosevelt was so anxious
to discredit the public service of Sen.
ator Tillman that he accused him of
using the government franking priv
ilege wrongfully, calling attention to
the fact that he had sent a typewriter
through the mails. Of this the Birm-
ingham News says:
1T would seem that this is a rather
small thing for the president to make
fuss about, inasmuch as Mr.. Roose-
welt himself has been using a govern
ment yacht not only for carrying him
self to and fro in his public capacity,
but time and again has carried his
family about on it, and the matter has
been subject of not very compliment
airy comments in the public prints and
elsewhere.
But to the Thanking privilege itself.
1t appears that Senator Tillman went
no further than dozens of other mem
bers of congress were in the habit of
doing in this matter. The personal
and private use of the postal frank by
some of the more thrifty statesmen
at Washington has been shamelessly
abused. Articles of furniture, includ.
ing cooking stoves, and a variety of
household goods, have been sent
through the mails under frank postage
time and again until the matter assum.
ed the phase of small national scan
dal"
There seems to be no doubt that the
Thanking privilege has been abused,
but there is a lurking suspicion that
Senator Tillman is not the only Of
fender. All government officials use
the government privileges whenever
they can, and here We have the presi-
dent-elect going to Panama on a gov
eminent vessel before he Is anaugur-
ated. There is nothing especially
wrong about it. In fact most
OF us are of the opinion that Mr.. Taft

going to complain against the one we

A GOOD ALDER MAN.
monwealth.

The Newton Record paints the fol-
lowing picture of what is considers a
good alderman:
Zone Of the evidences of a good al
derman is that he always endeavors to
be present at every meeting, when
possible. He will not shirk a duty or
taking action on any matter because
he is afraid he will be criticised. He
will not favor certain matters just to
benefit some special pet, when he
knows that it will be harmful to a
majority of the people; nor will he
oppose any movement just because it
might benefit some person he does not
happen to like, If a man does not
intend to carry out his duties to the
best Of his ability and is not broad
enough to be above taking personal
feeling into his public acts, he should
never consent to become a member of
such body"

emphasis Of the duty of citizenship.
Missouri's executive has been an &C.

a mark, and a standard as well, the

No doubt there has come to his mind

ENDS TONIGHT AT Il O'CLOCK

That the 1000 evtra vote offer has
made a decided hit with the contest
ants thus far may easily be seen by
the large number of subscriptions that
are pouring into the contest depart
ment every day and thousands of votes
are going into the reserve fund of the
various contestants. There is still
time after reading this in which to get
a good many subscriptions and If there

for one subscriptions may win you the
$4,000 honor ballot of your district.
With but three weeks more of the
contest, 1t behoves everyone to work
as they have never worked before, for
the prizes are going to be given to
those who get out and work and the
ones that work will be the winners.
Now Is the time for some, good, live
work and everyone should remember
that by putting forth little effort
now they can easily win one of the
fine prizes to be given. Some may
think they have no chance to win, but
If they just try they will see how easy
1t really Is.
The Werlein pianos to be given as
first district prizes along with the
suites Of furniture and diamond rings

stood the public test for years and
years and stand today without peer
in their class of the $500 piano. 1t

but it Is a better piano than you
usually find in most of the cities in
this section of the country for this
price. The pianos bear the guaran-

piano is approved by many of the lead
ing artists and connoisseurs. It has
been installed in the homes of the
music loving public. Although the
$500 in gold is of more value than the
piano, suit of furniture or diamond
ring, still there are a great number
trying for one Of these prizes, where
there are comparatively few after the
