BANKERS HAVE MIGHTY
 CLUB FOR POSTAL BANKS
Chairman of Postal Savings Bank League Points Out "lnfluence' Oppo- sition Relies Upon to Defeat the Measure.

Chicago. May 31.-(Special cores pOndence of The Republican, )-"The chairman of the savings bank section of the American Bankers association has boldly declared that if all the bankers of the country vigorously fought against the postal savings bank bill which congress has held up they could beat it. And when one stops to think about the notes that are held by banks. including those of politicians and newspapers. that statement seems plausible" Thus does George H. Cur
 rier, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Postal Savings Bank league, caustically refer in a current issue of Everyday Life" to the bank CTS opposition to the bill over which farmers and wage earners in the United States are more stirred up than ever, far more stirred up than con- gress.
 "The postal savings bank measure. so popular with farmers generally, as we'll as the wage earners. who relish a full dinner pail" he adds. obviously would serve the convenience of those remote from savings banks, also those who would never deposit a handful of nickels or pennies in a banking office that is redolent of millions. It would meet the demands of immigrants that the government take charge of their savings. an insistent demand, the cause of sending millions of money abroad. Were the savings in Uncle Sam's hands the immigrants just naturally would take an interest in the govern ment and become better citizens as well as more prosperous ones. It would do the greater thing. entice into circulation the huge sum of cash that would go far to prevent, to make impossible. such a money stringency as was produced by certain conditions in finance during the autumn of 1907.
 ''Ir is curious that congress has not already passed a postal savings bank bill for the public is so decidedly unan- inous for it and exhaustive reports on the system in other countries have been out and out favorable But for fourteen years the matter has been before congress without a bill yet. The Republican party did declare for the system in its Taft platform, but there are still 'unreconcilable differences" in congress. However, one sign that promises organized pressure for enact ment of the bill is the organization of friends of the measure of the Postal Savings Bank League of the United States, with headquarters in Chicago. Like all movepents in behalf of the public and against organized capital, the league has been crippled by lack of money, while the opposition has a big campaign fund and has loaded the

Upon his initial appearance on {

Upon his initial appearance on the first evening. few knew that he had been assigned part but as he walked out in the dress of the Royal Slave the audience gave him a genuine ovation. He has only had weeks practice on the lines which makes his superior acting all the more phenomenal.
 Milo Shil1 made more of the lines assigned him than any other charac- ter. It was his lot to become insane yet he did it splendidly.
 Among other amusing things that showed up and then that were not written in the lines was the reprimand that NJ. A Stewart as Bernal gave to Amy Allen who was taking the part of Isadora. Isadora was bound upon the rocks of the island of Fl Toro and Der nal was one of the arch fiends who was guarding her. Isadora should havf made some outcry and then it became the part of Bernal to shout shut up" in commanding manner. Isadora in some way was too busily engaged in trying to relieve the chains that bound her wrists to say anything but Bernal waited long enough for the cry and when it was not forthcoming he yell ed shut up' anyway.
 James Miller, Jr.. as Humbolt Jones the Free Press correspondent, again maintained his part last night. One feature of MT. Miller's acting is that he does not over act. There is a like lihood of those taking these roles to over elaborate for there is a good deal of leeway given in the interpretation of the lines.
 Mrs. Cook played her part just as vigorously last night as on the pre- vious evening. She is considerably overworked on account of having charge of the entire production but held up well.
 The guitar selection by MT. Cook was above the average as well as the other specialties. The scenery painted for the production pleased in it's en- tirety with the exception of the waits between scenes. They were too long

The Cook-Peary Controversy.
To the Editor of The Star:


The Cook-Peary controversy-how shall
1t be settled? The coast and geodetic sur
vey have offered to do this. we are told
Perhaps no more able body of men for
the purpose could be found. Would their
decision be accepted? Peary is one of
them. He has been at work for them.
So far forth his work is their work. his
honor would be their honor his dishOnor
would be their disgrace. Cook Is not of
them. Would it be quite fair to put him
in the attitude of either asking them to
decide the case. or appearing to fear In
vestigation by them? Should they decide
in his favor, of course, the question would
be settled. Should they decide in Peary's
favor, would DR.. Cooks friends, and in
deed the general public. be satisfied?
Would they not ask with some reason
whether, taking human nature as 1t Is,
the members of the survey could be alb
solutely without bias in relation to their
colaborer? Let us have the investigation
by all means. Let Ii be by court whose
decision will be above criticism. Let it
be settled once for all whether DR.. Cook
whether Peary Is a disappointed and ex-
asperated slanderer. For to this COM
plexion it must come at last. To those of
us who are entire outsiders DR.. Cook
has thus far borne himself gentle
man. Mr.. Peary does not allow him the
benefit even of a mistake or miscalcula-
ton. In the strongest form he makes
dler of gold bricks" This he promises
to prove. The public will wait for the
proof with intense interest. For the
honor of the American character one
would think Peary himself must hope he
has been misled. T. s. CHILDS.

Ill-Health Assigned as Reason for

Despite the announcement made by

For this reason credence is given at tho

During his second term in diplomatic
capacity in Washington Baron Taxa
hira's health was severely taxed by the
great strain under which he la bored while
here in dispensing OF the important ques-
tons between the Japanese and American
governments. 1t is because OF his i'll
health. more than anything else. that the
belief has become quite general that the

An important berth probably will he

Points Made by Mr.. Taft.

Our banking and none
tarv system is a patched up
affair, which satisfies nobody.
The trend OF the minds OF
the monetary commission is
toward some sort OF arrange
mcnt for a central bank of is
sue. which shall control the
reserve and exercise power
to meet and control the cas-
ual stringencv which from
time to time will come.
Nothing revo lutionary,
nothing disturbing to legiti-
mate business is needed, but
we must set the marks clear
in the statute by which the
lines can be drawn and the
proper, legitimate paths be
laid down upon which all
business shall proceed, and
must have IT understood by
means OF prompt prosecution
and punishment that the law
is for all and is to be en-
forced even against the most
powerful.
Not in the history of the
country since the war has the
feeling between the north and
the south been more cordial
and friendly than it is today.
and a political attempt to
make cleavage between
New England and the east on
one side and the west on the
other will be found to be so
utterly hopeless as to con-
found those who propose it."
