GERMANY OPENS
POSTAL BANKS
SYSTEM INCLUDES AMOUNT FOR
CHECKS AS WELL AS REMIT.
TANCES ABROAD.-13 SPECIAL
POSTOFFICES.
Special to the World.

1 Special TO the World.
Berlin, Jan. 18.-The German Em.
pire went into the banking business
on an enormous scale when the new
postoffice check system came into
force. For the present Is special
check postoffices are established
in Prussia, Saxony and Baden; three
in Gavaria and one in Wurtemburg
Anyone who maintains a minimum
balance of $25 can open an account
and issue checks, which take the
form of postcards with wording sim
liar to ordinary bank checks. The
system can be employed for pay
ments up to $500. 1t is also valu-
able for any payments the depositor
wants to make abroad, the payments
by the regular money order route.
In cases where checks are issued
to persons or firms which also hav.
accounts with the postoffice, their ac-
counts may simply be credited instead
of the money changing hands.
The system at present is all COM
plication and intricacies. The BIZ
reaucrats who organized it have not
yet found a way of enabling the
payee of checks to get their money
without considerable delay and red
tape, but it is expected that these
kinks will be ironed out in practice,
and that the system will eventually
be a real boon to the business COM
munity.
Bank checks continue to be re-
garded with the utmost suspicion in
the Fatherland. The campaign insti-
tuted year ago to induce business
men and private individuals to edu-
cate themselves in the use of checks
proved only a partial success. The
banks do not oppose the govern
ment's going into business as a de-
post and checking bank because
they think it will help to popularize
the use of bank checks on such a
scale as exists in other up-to-date
countries.

WORKERS UNDER TRIAL.

Crystal Eastman, writing In the
January "Pittsburg Survey issue of
Charities and the Commons, has a
number of human interest" stories
of accidents in the homes. Here are
few of them:
Mrs. Burns, pretty Irish widow,
whose husband was crushed while
coupling cars, is obviously we'll sat
isfied with the $4,000 insurance that
he left. She takes boarders and is
carefully saving the insurance money
for her little girls education. Her
affections are set on the child. She
has a tender memory of her Tom as
he started off to work whistling that
last morning, but she makes no pre-
tence to mourn for him. She frank
ly admits that her marriage was not
successful enough to make her risk
it again.
Thus it is with Mrs. Andrews, a
woman whose husband was killed in
mill. | found her smiling and con-
tented year later Her man had
been good and faithful while he
lived, but after he died her brother
came to live with her and help her
raise her two boys. He earned just
as much, and she was perfectly sat
isfied with the situation.
On the other hand, knew of six
months bride who shot herself three
weeks after her husband was killed.
And a young German woman, whose
father had been run over by a dinky
engine in the mill, said to me in
choking voce, ooh, when it comes to
telling how he died, it breaks my
heart" l have seen mothers and
fathers in middle life who had be-
come broken and old in a year after
the death of son, and few women
whom | visited IS months after such
a tragedy were literally unable to
speak of it.
Then there was an old father, Mac
dougal who had three sons. One
died of smallpox, and one was killed
in a steel mill. The third was a
railroad engineer On the night of
March 13, 1907, he was taking a
heavy freight across bridge at Deer
Creek, Hamarsville. The creek was
high and the pier gave way; the en-
CINE and first cars went crashing into
the water below, carrying three men
to death. The bodies of the fire.
man and conductor were recovered
next day, but young Macdougal, the
engineer, was never found. They say
| the old mans hair turned white IN
"a hours, and that he can still be
found on fair days walking along the
banks of the creek, looking for his
son. But for the most part, mothers
and fathers do not lose their hold
on things. Their lives go on as be-
fore. You can know. perhaps, only
from a weary sadness in the moth.

Among the few victories achieved by
Democratic Senator'S in the tariff fight
the Washington corresponds Mt notes
the following successes by Senator
Martin:
In behalf of the fruit and truck grow
ers of Virginia and other sections of
the country where insects are damaging
crops, Senator Martin offered an
amendment to the tariff bill taking
paris green and london purple from the
dutiable list. at Is per cent, advalorem
and putting them on the free list. The
amendment was adopted and these two
weii-known insecticides will come into
this country duty free unless they are
put back on in conference.
Red cedar, by amendment of Senator
Martin. was put on the free list.
This means sided or squared cedar.
The two Virginia Senators were in
the fight that forced Senator Aldrich to
put sulphate of ammonia and cotton
bagging on the free list. These two
items will save the farmers of the
South several rDi;lions of dollars.
When asked whsn he thought Con-
gress would adjourn, Senator Martin
said he would be fortunate to get away
by the 18th of July.

INVESTIGATED FISH INDUSTRY.

That no edible fish were found on
board a number of vessels engaged in
catching menhaden for use as fertilizer.
which were inspected by a party of
State Senators, who with Governor
Swanson and Chairman w. Mcdonald
Lee. of the State Fisheries Commission.
have been on tour of investigation.
was the statement made by State SEN
ator John A. Lesner, yesterday.
As previously reported, the Legisla-
tive party has been on board the State
Fish Commissions steamer Commodore
Maury for several days, for the purpose
of observing conditions relating to the
fishing industry in the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries. The object of the
trip was to acquire information to be
used in connection with remedial
measures which will be presented to the
Legislature next winter, in connection
with the movement to prevent the
extinction of the supply of food fish in
these waters.
Senator Lesner and other members
of the party said that so far as their
observations went. there was no viola
ton of the law on the part of the men,
baden fishermen Though the captains
of the vessels visited were not expect
ing the senatorial party, they did not
hesitate to invite them aboard their
craft and assist them in making the
inspection. On the vessels visited not
enough edible fish to make a meal for
the crew were found.

PROMISING EVERYTHING IN
SIGHT


Apropos of the fellows running
around here with Mr.. Tucker,
and with many promises for Jobs
should he win in the primary. we
see this in the Southside Vir-
gilman:
In former article We referred to the
assertions rife over the 10th District
during Mr.. fuckers last term as repre-
sentative in Congress from that Dis
trict, that he had promised to all, his
influence, in almost every instance, to
secure for more than one party the
same position or office. These asser-
tions were freely made and we never
heard them denied. 1t was also re-
ported that he was so besieged by those
to whom he had made promises that, to
get needed rest, he had changed his
boarding house quite frequently. That
brainy, kind-hearted, fun loving, gallant
old veteran, Senator Jno. N. Opie, of
Staunton, called attention to these re-
ports in the following lines, and, think
ing they may arouse as well as instruct
some of our voters, we give them:

LANCASTER'S SUPERINTEN
DENCY.

In another column we publish
the account of the Lancaster
fight, from the Richmond Times
Dispatch and Washington Her
aid, written by q known friend OF
DIR. Lewis, and bearing big head
lines such as Lees Man Defeat
ed, =" etc, We haveno apologies to
make, and the fight leaves no
soreness with us. Handicapped
by having three of the Board lat
the first, four of the six against
us. the College professors and
Attorney-General Anderson, also
District-eXaminer Russell and
Senator Walker, we made q good
fight and have no determinations
to east up. We take our medi-
cine, as we have done before, like
men and not like babies.
We fought DR.. Lewis because
many OF the largest taxpayers
OF the county and practically all
OF the public men who are max
ing voluntary money contribu-
lions to the new school work did
not want him. We offered the
name OF DR.. Newbill because he
is one OF the greatest hustlers in
the county, the one man who,
in promoting and founding the
Chesapeake Academy, was the
most effective worker for higher
education in the Northern Neck
SO lar as results are concerned
When the Board of Education
declared that they would elimi.
nate politics and factional fights
we took it in good faith and
Withdrew the name of DR.. Newbill
which had fought DR.. Lewis to 8
stand-still, and wrote the Board
that a candidate from Northum
berland (now Joined to Lancas
teri would suit us (and certainly
neither of thatcounty's aspirants
could be charged with utilization
with any faction). This still re
suited in a drawn battle, 3 to 3
Tor more than fifty ballots. Their
DIR. Lewis won out by renouncing
politics and the leadership in fac
tional fights here, by a letter to
the Board at the crucial time, he
being on the spot.
While other State papers are
roundly denouncing the Board
OF Education particularly the
College members) we shall refrain
from any editorial criticism.

There is strong sentiment in and
around the section of Northern Neck of
Virginia adjacent to Colonial Beach, to
build an electric line of cars to run down
through the lower counties so as to con-
meet the counties commercially, and the
sooner the people of these counties
realize that it will have to be built by
them. and not by outside capital, the
sooner it will be done. We have been
looking for years for Mr.. Gould or some
northern capitalist to plant a railroad
through this country for us. aud we will
continue to look the balance OF our days.
With the advent of the Popes Creek
Packet Co line of steamers recently
established between Popes Greek, Md. /,
where it connects with the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and Colonial Beach. Va, pas
sengers can eat their break fast in Bal
timore, dinner at Colonial Beach. and
have time to transact their business,
and then be back in Baltimore for sup
per. If an electric line can be built to
connect with this line we can eat our
breakfast at home, spend the day in
Baltimore and return home that night.
The people of Colonial Beach have been
for years after the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and northern capital to establish
this line of steamers without effect, and
it falls to the lot of a citizen of the
Northern Neck to establish the enter
prise which promises to be one of the
best paying investments in this section.
Its manager is already planning for q
fast passenger steamer that will go
down the river as far as Mt. Holly.
To build the electric line, it must be
done by the people of Northern Neck.
and if each family in the section through
which it passes will subscribe to the
stock FIVE dollars and with the assistance
of the capitalist who are in favor of it.
the road will be built that will run
down the Potomac side and up the Rap
pahannock. making q belt with cars
running each way. This road would be
a paying investment. and the time il
propitious for some snterprising man
to take it in hand and form the company.

FISH PLENTIFUL.

Hook -and-line fishing on virginia's
salt waters is better than for years.
Menhadel fish are also swarming into
our capes. Such things are fiuctuating,
periodical-some years better than
others. The following is from a recent
issue of the Richmond Journal:
81. b. Lacy, of 1119 Grove Avenue.
this city, who with his wife is spending
his summer months at Ocean View
writes The Journal that the fish are
more plentiful down there this year
than he has ever known before, and ad-
vises his friends to come down. While
out fishing yesterday. Mr.. Lacy caught
l6O spots and over 100 trout, croakers
and other fish in just two settings"
Messick Rowe, one of the Star car
rier boys. is taking an outing in Chesa-
peake Bay on fish steamer. He
writes, "We got today, out of three
