AN EDITORS OPINION OF CHARLES
81 have very wide correspou-
dence among the farmers of the
United States" remarked the editor
of a well known agricultural paper to
me last night at the Press Club, "and
il would probably surprise you to
know how many of them refer to
Representative Scott, of Kansas,
and commend the work he is doing

known that naval experts are In faver
of greatly strengthening the navy;
but the ever-present danger of de-
fcit is the stumbling block in the
way or an increase.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL IN DANGER

bank bill are somewhat anxious as
10 the success of the measure. The
bill. as presented first, is believed to
be unconstitutional, and Senator
Root, of New York, one OF the aol-

Senate, has prepared an amendment
