Postal Savings Banks.


Loans in Wall street by national
banks have been ingeniously put for
ward as reason why postal savings
banks would prove a failure In an arg
ument received at the Postal Savings
Bank league headquarters from the
campaign bureau of the American
Bankers association, Charles z.
Sprague of New York, formerly presi-
dent of the savings bank section of
the Bankers association is quoted in
this remarkable statement: Had
their deposits been in postal banks
they would have been just as eager to
draw and hoard or sell that money as
any other money, and the government
would have had to refuse payment of
that which it had agreed to repay on
demand. The national banks would
not have retained the postmasters' de-
posts. but would have very largely had
them loaned out in Wall street. There
would have been exactly the same
stringency as has occurred AS there
now is an item of aproximately half
a billion dollars which banks have not
been able to entice into circulation and
which, if on deposit through the me-
dunn of postal banks, would guard
against stringency and usually prevent
any such disturbance as that of 1907,
Mr.. Sprague's assertion was in the ma
ture of a boomerang, especially as he
cheerfully ignored Uncle Sans enor-
nous cash resources. Bankers had re-
ments. Largely because the federal
government is not likely to resort to
clearing house certificates in pinch
milk tickets for hungry baby"-the
postal savings measure for small sums
was reported upon favorably by a SEN
ate commission after exhaustive in
quiry and has grown to great popu
larity among the farming and laboring
classes. Withdrawals during strihgen-
cies are largely by the small depositors
who become alarmed for their mite if
it is not in the hands of the federal
government with it's known and vast
resources. Some of the most promi-
nent bankers of Chicago declare that
the banking interests will be safe
guarded by system which will shift
part of the depositors most easily

America Country of Art.
line

fresh indication of the growing
esteem in which American art is now
held abroad is the visit to Chicago of
two European painters of the first rank
whose avoWed purpose in coming to
the west is to get better idea of the
present methods of training practiced
on this side of the water. Their praises
coming hard on the heels of successes
won by several artists of this country
at the Paris salon this spring, call new
attention to the fact that France is no
longer preeminent as the mother of the
arts. M. Alphonse Mucha, whose paint
ings and posters have made him cell
ebrated through out Europe, is one of
the artists, who have turned to this
country. The other is Senior Joaquin
Sorolla, whose brilliant landscapes
and vivid scenes of modern Spanish
life were honored in New York this
winter. M. Mucha' reached Chicago a
few days ago and proceeded to get i'm
preSS1OnS at first hand by conducting
special classes of students at the Art
Institute, which is the largest art
school in the country. The enthusiasm
of American students as opposed to
those abroad was what first struck his
attention. tThe young artists here
have the spirit that will produce
things" he said, "they have the en-
thusiasm of Chicago and the west.
Your methods are excellent You are
developing splendid draughtsmen and
workers in color and you have the ad-
vantage of having here in Chicago
one of the greatest art schools in the

CHICAGO NEWS LETTER SHOWS
DEATH RATE is INVERSE AS
PROSPERITY.
Threatened.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Return of
prosperity is bringing return of the
higher death rate by railway train ac-
cidents than reported for 1908, business
being credited largely for the i'm
proved showing made in 1908. This is
confirmed by the statement of the Chi
cago statistician for the railways that
1.-The feverish rush of prosperity had
much to do with the high death rate
in train accidents. Meanwhile, however
the death rate of "trespassers," child
rem and people who didn't see the
train coming maintains it's normal,
grisly record, over six thousand men,
women and children each year. Blame
for this great annual holocaust is
laid both upon the railways and the
public officials who fail VIGOROUSLY in
the United States to guard railway
tracks and crossings in the United
States as they do particularly
in England. The railways under COM
pulsion are spending many millions to
elevate their tracks in large cities, in
Chicago the cost to date having been
about $50,OOO,OOO with $6O,OOO,OOO more
to be done. "The states and cities have
been criminally negligent in failure to
police the rights of way Of steam
railways and to provide laws and
warnings which will deter children and
adults from trespasing or taking such
risks, risks that would subject per-
sons to prompt arrest in England de-
clares a bulletin issued by a league of
public safety which has begun agita-
ton for better public protection. 1.-THE
steam railways last year killed $3.50
'trespassers" and $40 who were not
espassing-sixteen times as many as
were killed in the train accidents about
which so much is heard Adequate
steps have not been taken to keep peo-
pie away from this juggernaut, 100000

party she told story of negro couple once
personally well known to her. George Wash
ington Ashburton was the male member of the
team, and Miss Elizabeth Henrietta Johnson
played the female part.
George Washington was very bashful,
painfully so; but he had made up his mind that
he desired Miss Johnson for his wife, and as
she had led him on most artfully to believe
that he was the only man she considered worth
speaking to, he decided to propose. However,
he was SO handicapped by bashfulness that he
had recourse to the telephone to make known
his hearts desire. He rang up the house where
she worked.
