serves to emphasize the need for such
banks in the United States. The table
shows that thirty -four countriese or
colonies have such banks and that,

depositors in these banks have in-
creased from 20,1S2,Ss7 to 4O,32O, 303,
or nearly 100 per cent, while during
the same period the deposits have in
creased from $1,13S, 1854 to $685.
299,S15. or approximately rs per cent.
During the decade the average deposit
of each depositor has fallen from $65.-
Al to 1898. While the number Of de-
positors In postal savings banks is AZ
per cent of the number of depositors
in all foreign savings banks, the de-
posits are only about 20 per cent of
the total deposits in such banks.
In the thirty-four countries and de-
tendencies having postal savings
banks the united kingdom leads in the
number of deposttorS and amount OF
deposits-that Is, 11,01S,251 and $7S4,-

stall savings banks have but 155,S95

post account s2ss,ss, by far the Iarg-
est average account in postal savings
banks in any country. Such countries

AUTOMOBILE REGULATION
Reckless Driving That Has Resulted
in Calls for Drastic Penalties.

New York Times: 1t was not with
cut reason that Judge Swami, in
charging the April grand %juries, add
ed to his denunciation OF reckless
chauffeurs a clar formulation OF the
moral and legal responsibilities which
rest upon the owners of automobiles
who knowingly employ men either
inadequately equipped for such work
or with a record of reconsideration
for the rights and safety of other
users of the public highways.
"A man." said the judge, lis pre-
sumed to intend the ordinary and
usual results of his own acts, and the
owner who puts a reckless chauffeur
in an automobile and sends him
through the streets could probably
be found by you to be equally guilty
wi. il the chauffeur of the crime, what
ever it may be, that may reasonably
be expected to be committed by that
chauffeur" So Judge Swami suggest
ed to the jurymen the possibility of
indicting the owner of the automo-
bile as we'll as the chauffeur, even
though the former might not have
been in the machine at the time when
it caused injury to life or limb.
This is severe doctrine, but its APP
plication in a few cases when prev
ious knowledge could be proved
would be highly effective in restrict
ing employment as chauffeurs to
careful and competent men.W We re-
cur again and again, however, to the
idea that the simplest remedy for
| many of the worst of automobile
abuses would be to make the obtain
ing of a license to run one of the ma
chimes conditional on the passing of
a rigid examination as to skill and
character, and then to provide for
the permanent forfeiture of the Ii
cense after its possessor had been
twice, or at most three times, con
victed of careless or illegal driving.
1t would be easy to keep the count
If each conviction were recorded on
the face of the license.

The Time to
Spend Money!

Spend your money when and
where it will go farthest. This is
particularly opportune time to
spend your money at Eilers, where
the big Piano Club Sale is going
on. There has not been an oppor-
tunity for some time when your
money would go as far toward pur-
chasing a brand new. high grade
piano as right now. We say right
now because the time Is limited,
The club memberships are limited,
and every day put off may mean
that you must pay $85 to $3.50 more
for the piano you would choose.
Come in today and choose from
our entire magnificent line from
the famous old Chickering down to
the most moderate priced piano iii
our stock. They are all included
in the Club sale, and il you get one
of the 500 memberships, you will
get piano at a price no higher
than is paid by the ordinary dealer.
The terms are as easy as the
price is low. A payment as low as
six per cent of the purchase price
will bring the piano to your home
no waiting. $3.50 or more per week
will take care of the balance.
There is no risk whatever. In
, the first place, the standing of the
pianos offered is sufficient guaran-
tee-but in addition to this we give
money-back guarantee that they
will be entirely satisfactory, and
just as represented.
YOU haven't much time to think
about it. You must act soon.
Come in and investigate. Visitors
are welcome.

COUNCIL S7zNGS CHRONICLE

the council last night the following
resolution was passed, being
amended to join the name of Mr.
Schiller with that of Mr.. Lambert
Whereas, the Spokane Evening
Chronicle which appeared on the
afternoon of May II, 1909, con
tanned an article on it's first page
entitled, Whisky Men Seek Re.
venge," which article reflects on
the personal integrity of the pre-.
siding officer of this body; be 1t
therefore resolved that we, the city
council in session assembled,
hereby condemn an action of this
kind by newspaper acting in this
manner without warrant or cause,
and we desire to stigmatize the
article mentioned above as one I'M
worthy of "a reputable newspaper,
whose aim ought to be higher and
nobler than to besmirch the good
name and honorable efficiency of
one who in his public career has
done the public much good service,
and has merited the honor and con-
fidence at our hands to be chosen
our presiding officer"
Mr.. Schiller introduced the reso-
luton and his manner of doing so
was about as dull and ineffective as
a freshly sharpened razor. He de-
nounced the article as false and de-
signed on the eve of opening bids
as Cub over the council. Then
bp GOT really Interested in tho c,,h.
iect, and if a newspaper ever get a
councilmanic skinning the Chron-
icle certainly got it.
Mohr, Baldwin and Ostrander
spoke in support of the resolution,
saying that in matters affecting
liquor interests Schiller, although
engaged in the liquor business, in
variably leaned to the other side if
the issue was anyways doubtful.
Mohr told how preachers had ex-
pressed their appreciation of Schii
ler's fairness. Lambert took a
whack at the attack in behalf of
Schiller. The latter had made his
motion largely in behalf of Lam
bert.
The fire got so hot that Howard
Brownlee of the Review arose with
some wrath in his eye and voice
and served notice that he was not
to be coupled with anything that
appeared in the Chronicle, and
furthermore that he was going to
report council proceedings as he
saw them.

ROBBED OF MONEY,
REASON, LIFE

Mrs. Ida Smith, who was held up
and robbed of $25 at the watering
trough in Bigelow gulch early in
April is dead from insanity caused
by that nerve racking experience.
She leaves a husband and four chill
dren. She was robbed by a well
dressed young man, armed and
masked, whom she had met on her
way to town in the morning. A
thorough search of the country was
made but the robber was never
caught.
The money taken from Mrs.
Smith represented sales of produce
by which means she made her liv-
ing. She became demented few
days after the robbery and was
committed to Medical Lake, 10 days
ago, where she died.
