Annapolis, Nd, Aug. 12.-The court

The similarity between the two
styles OF airships Is most pronounced,
though there is one fundamental diff
ference. the Wright brothers start
their airship with a mono-rail, while
Curtiss starts his over any piece of
comparatively smooth ground upon
which automobile wheels can travel.
This is a great advantage in the Cur
tiss airship over the Wright brothers.
Another invention in which the Cur

TAFT STANDS PAT FOR POSTAL
SAVINGS BANKS.

While recognizing the opposition to
the establishment of the system of
postal savings banks, President Taft
calls on Congress to redeem the
pledge made in the Republican plat
form in favor of such banks as oppos-
ed to the Bryan scheme of insurance
of deposits in the regular banks.
President Taft in his message ex-
presses the belief that the people de-
sire such a convenient and safe sys-
tenn of depositing their savings. He
, insists that these banks would pay so
small an interest that they would not
be serious competitors with the reg
ular financial Institutions, and would
not draw heavily from their deposits
His view OF the part the postal saw
ings banks are to play is as follows:
believe them to be necessary in
order to offer proper inducement to
thrift and saving to a great many
people of small means who do not now
have banking facilities, and to whom
such a system would offer an oppor-
tunity for the accumulation of capital
They will furnish satisfactory sub
stttute, based on sound principle and
actual successful trial in nearly all
the countries of the world, for the sys-
tenn of government guaranty of depos-
its now being adopted in several West
ern states, which with Difference to
those who advocates it, seems to me to
have in 1t the seeds of decentralization
to conservative banking and certain
financial disaster
The greatest value of the postal
savings system lies in the fact that the
country is absolutely honeycombed
with postoffices. Every cross roads
point has postoff1ce where deposits
could be made with absolute safety
and an assurance that no panic OF
dishonesty could affect the value OF
the deposit in the remotest degree.
The proposition will probably be
bitterly fought in Congress. The
bankers of the country, almost to A
man, appear to be opposed to the gov
eminent undertaking the care of the
peoples savings. In foreign countries
the postal savings system has been in
force for years and with highly salts,
factory results. While its introduc-
ton in this country may be delayed ii
is quite reasonable to believe that In
due time it will also be made a part
of the governments functions here
That it will conduce to the extension
of the savings habit is quite likely
and in the end it may the medium oI
making this country what France Is
to-day land where every one is
classed as bank depositor.

100000 FOR FIVE YEARS
S0BRiETI.

There died the other day in New
York a man who won the greatest
temperance prize ever offered in the
history of the world, in all probability
George Croker, son of the multi-mil-
lionaire Croker, of California, Sc
cured to himself an estate of FIVE mil
lion dollars by the simple expedient of
remaining sober for five years. One
million dollars year for staying So
Der is a pretty good payment, even for
the man who likes his eye opener in
the morning, few cocktails during
the day, and some high balls after the
lights have been turned on.
AS young man Crocker rolled
high. He was q fast sport. Drink
threatened to be his everlasting ruin
His father lost confidence in his abil-
ity to handle money to any advantage
and on his de@th it was found that he
had left five million dollars to the boy
conditioned on his abstaining from
liquor for five years. Otherwise he
received a comparatively small al
lowance
Young Croker was equal to the
occasion. Realizing that the Great
White Way" or its predecessor of
| that time, was too alluring for him to
| hope to meet the terms of the will if
he dilly-dallied with the pleasures
there afforded, the young man betook
himself to ranch in Utah and there
for five years stuck manfully to the
water wagon. Then he claimed and
received the five millions. In addition
| to the wealth he had stored up a vast
| reserve force of health and energy
and in addition had learned the lesson
| of self control. Presumably he held
himself well in hand after that, as ne
appears to have been connected with
many business enterprises of magni-
tude.
Other fathers might do we'll to imi-
tate the example of old man Croker II
they have sons whose inclinations are
toward a life in which wine, women
| and song are the principal features. A
few years Of enforced sobriety, with Il
handsome prize as reward, coming
at a time when the inclination to
throw aside the conventional re-.
straints of life is at its strongest,
might be the saving and the making Of
many young men into whose hands
fortunes SO often fall with disastrous
results. The young man who has with
stood temptations for several years at
such critical period of life is apt to
| have had his backbone sufficiently
strengthened to carry him safely
| through temptations after the money
has fallen into his hands The Croker
expedient certainly commends itself
for its directness and simple effect
iveness.
