The latest suggestion for disposal of the deposits of postal savings banks. If established. is that they be used in the construction of post office build fngs throughout the country in towns which have only rented quarters and branch post soffices in cities where more sub-stations are needed The supporting argument is that the per cent. interest on deposits would be less than the rents now paid. It would, however. be equivalent in ef- feet to the issuance of bonds for such construction. to which Congress would be very unlikely to consent. The principle upon which Congress usually acts in the construction of post office buildings. is the payment therefor from current revenues and not from the pro- reeds of new bond issues.

If the Liberal party carries the com Ing British parliamentary elections, home rule for Ireland will be among fts policies. provided the promise of Prime Minister Asquith is made in good faith. In opening the campaign. he declared explicitly in favor of the principle. qualifying it however as fol- lows.
 That while safeguarding the su- preme. indivisible authority of the Im- perial Parliament, there can be set up 3n Ireland a system of full self-gov- ernment as regards purely Irish af- fairs. Where Is not. and cannot be. any question of separation. or of ri- .valry or competing for supremacy. That is the Liberal policy.
 This is less than some of the Irish leaders desire. but it is evidently all that can be secured under present con- dftions. At this distance. acceptance of it would seem to be wise. for it might serve as a stepping stone to a higher achivement of Irish ambitions.

The Michigan Supreme Court has refused to grant a writ of mandamus, compelling the Secretary of State to grant a business permit to the Amer ican Telephone & Telegraph CO. This decision is based upon legislative en- actments keeping separate these two lines of activity. telegraph and tele- phone. which laws. the court says. ''in- dicate a policy on the part of the State to afford its people a choice of two agencies of independent owner ship" Thus. the independent com panies win one success in their fight against what they call the Wire trust" Whether it is wise on the part of the State of Michigan to en- force a separation of two activities which are really so closely related. is most decidedly a. question This pol icy is certainly not in the interest of economy of operation. for it must in crease the cost. and the augmented burden win fan in the. end upon the patrons of both activities.
