Postal SAVINGS Banks.

One of the latest publications of the
National Monetary commission shows
the growth and development of postal
savings banks in every quarter Of the
earth from the beginning in the Unit

time. In that priod, the system has
becn extended not only through the
continent of Europe but to the colo
MES, even in Tasmania. the federated
Malay, states and Southern Nigeria.
The United States has been the last
to establish postal savings banks, and
is just now starting out with IL banks.
while the far-away gold coast of Afri-
ca has $10o,o00 in deposits, Tunis has
more than $1,o0oo 900. the Dutch East
indies have S200o,0o0. Formosa. under
Japanese rule. has nearly S1,00o.O0o
and Egypt has nearly 100000. In

100000 depositors. Italy has $780,
OG0 also. Belgium has 100000, and

That Fake About Hughes.

The zeal of certain newspaper men
to spring something new, or to make
conditions conform to their own dis
tortcd ideas of things, leads 10 dis
week, a story was sent out from
Washington that Justice Hughes was
nursing grievance against President
Taft because he was not appointed to
the chief justiceship. 1t went on to
show the country why there is only
one man in it that is exactly calcu-
lated for the Republican candidate for
the nresidency-Charles Evans Hughes.
This so-called information was I'M
doubtedly inspired by the progressive
propaganda, and declared that the
extraordinary popularity Of the New
Yorker would unite the party and in
sure victory in 1912. 1t became en-
thusiastic as the writer launched deep
or into his subject, and informed the
world that Republican sentiment at
Washington was focused on the for
mer governor of New York; that
Roosevelt was not even tentative
candidate. and had not been.
This progressive dream eliminated
the possibility of Taft being the next
candidate, or. rather. ignored him al
together, and dwelt upon the SUPPOSE
ton that Justice Hughes feels
aggrieved that he was not appointed
chief justice, and that he has treated

sustenance.

A Hard Heart.


Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of the famous
Denver juvenile court said In the
course Of u recent address on charity
TOO many Of us are inclined to
think that. one misstep made, the boy
is gone for good. Too many Of us are
like the cowboy.
IAN itinerant preacher preached to a
cowboy audience on the prodigal son.
He described the foolish prodigars ex-
travagance and dissipation: he de-
scribed his penury and his husk eating
with the swine In the sty: he described
his return. his fathers loving welcome.
the rejoicing. and the preparation Of
the fatted calf.
THE preacher in his discourse noticed
cowboy staring at him very hard.
He thought he had made convert.
and. addressing the cowboy personally.
he said from the pulpit:
MY dear friend what would you
have done If you had had a prodigal
son returning home like that?'
"'Me?' said the cowboy promptly
and fiercely. I'D have shot the boy
and raised the calf "-Detroit Free

why do l, a stranger, come to
Wenatchee and mix in it's local af-
fairs?" was the question which Sam
Small put to himself in the begin
ming of his address at the Methodist
church yesterday afternoon. Over
400 men, most of them in shirt
sleeves, had gathered to hear Sam
Jones most famous convert give his
views on the subject of license or no
license in Wenatchee.
Because the question of whether
the liquor traffic shall live in this
country or in any city of this coun-
try is a national question and con-
Germs the government itself. You
might as well try to wipe away the
Rocky mountains from the American
continent with a school boys sponge
as to try to down this liquor issue
before it is settled permanently and
settled right 1t is being settled all
over the country-toWn by town,
city by city and state by state. Most
of the municipalities Of Massachu-
sets are now dry. The sentiment
is growing fast in New York. Even
boss-ridden Pennsylvania where men
are voted in gangs, is developing
sentiment against the liquor traffic.
In Ohio sixty-six out of eight-eight
counties have gone dry in the last
three years. Texas voted prohibition
two weeks ago by 10000 majority
in the primaries. That is worthy of
applause from you, because demo-
Gratis did it. But this is not a par
ty question. 1t is a question of pa
triotism, and l thank God that my
is now on the right side. North
Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Alabama,
Arkansas are all in the dry column.
Set it down that in the next three
years not a licensed liquor shop
will be in existence in the fourteen
states of the solid south, and that
will be a marvel to the angels. Now
we are interested in having you
folks up north follow our example,
because we don't want any wet
territory around us.
Before another decade it will be
a race between the democratic dom
key and the republican elephant up
the pike to see which can secure the
