ilized nation. and in the West there is strong
demand for it.. 1t is urged that the foreigners
especially, who not familiar with the proper
methods of investing their savings have need Of
a government bank.
But what may apply to the West does not fit
some other parts of the country. Here iii Dela-
ware, for example, there is little or no demand
for postal savings banks In this city we have
excellent savings banks which carefully look Of
ter small deposits. We also have our trust COM
panics that are as safe as any government insti-
tuticr could be- and we have our regular banks
with record of no failures.
In the other parts OF the State strong banks,
which have added savings banks whenever there
was believed to be Sufficient demand for them.
Delaware, therefore, has felt no loss through
failure of any of her banking institutions and a
government savings bank here would probably
do but little business. In states where the
banks may not be so secure the force of the de-
mand for savings banks under direct control of
the government, can be appreciated.

On Tuesday Simeon S. Pennowil was
inaugurated Governor OF this state. Gov
ernor Pennewill. since early manhood. has
been prominent in the politics of this
State and has served two terms as State
Senator, SO that. by experience in public
affairs and wide acquaintance with the
people of this State, their likes and dis
likes and their needs. he Is well qualified
TO give us a satisfactory administration.
His inaugural address shows clearly that
he is familiar with the improvement and
reforms needed in this State, and shows
a realization OF the responsibility which
viii rest upon him in the advancement OF
these reforms and the performance Of the
most important duties which will devolye
upon him.
Delaware is an agricultural State and
Governor Pennewill is modern agricul-
turalist and thereby cognizant OF the inn
proved methods Of farming and intense
agriculture. All Of our legislation, with
the possible exception Of legislation for
the city Of Wilmington. directly concerns
our farmers. They are our substantial citi-
zens and are deeply interested IN good
roads. and taxation, matters which viii

because he so well understands these i'm.
portant questions from the farmers stand

The only fear we entertain is that Gov

TARIFF COMMISSION.

NHE American Protective Tariff League is
- opposed to the appointment Of a perma-
nent commission which would keep in touch with
the tariff situation and recommend changes to
be made in the schedules when necessary. The
opposition is said to be based on the fact that
the commission would have no real authority
as the final Judge of the schedules is Congress.
1t has been urged that the recommendations
of the commission would have little weight with
the Ways and Means Committee of the House.
and that the expense of the commission would be
a burden on the government.
These reasons, however, do not seem valid
Such a commission could go thoroughly into the
tariff question and its recommendations would
undoubtedly have much influence on public SEN
timent of the country. Congress would unques-
tionably be influenced by such sentiment Presi-
dent-eect Taft has been quoted in favor of such
a commission and unless we are in error Senator
dupont was once quoted as supporting the idea
of a permanent tariff commission AS mat
ter of fact our Senator is one of the best in
formed men upon the tariff question in the coun-
try, and it was the Republican State Convention
of Delaware that started the ball rolling towards
a revision of the tariff in accordance with present
demands

This IS the way IT always happens when qucs-

special interest is concerned in the postal savings

warmly as it would be if a special interest were
involved. The postal savings bank system has
