The Christmas business is a pretty
good index to the prosperity and buy

ume of business this Christmas is a
pretty good indication that the people
of Bismarck are prosperous. Few
cities in the state enjoy greater de-
gree of average prosperity that the
CAPITAL City. Few communities in
the state have attracted more atten-
ton and interest from capital than
Bismarck. The future is bright with
promise. Another year will see great

THE POSTAL BANKS.

On January 3, the rst working day
Of the year, the new postal savings
bank system is to 20 into operation
throughout the United States. This
is the promise of Postmaster General
Hitchcock. Deposits will be received
on the morning of that day, and the
scheme is expected to be in full
swing long before the postofticc de-
partment prepares it's annual report in
the latter part of 1911. Mr.. Hitch
cock, ii is said, has given some study
to the systems in vogue in Europe.
and he believes the new departure
will be successful.
The scheme will be on small scale
at first. Only one bank in each state
will be empowered to do business on
| this plan, and, in all cases, small
towns are selected for it. Our post
office people evidently believe that 1t
is we'll 10 90 slow in tho beginning
with this system. 1t will be in the
nature of an experiment with US, al
though it does we'll in England, Ger.
many, France and some of the other
countries. AS the republican plat
form in 1908 ureged its adoption, it
formed part Of the administration
program, and, after a long contest,
it was enacted. Most OF the bankers
of the country were against it. AS
the interest which will be paid by the
postal banks will be smaller than that
given by the savings banks and the
other financial institutions which ~
any interest at all, the new scheme
will hardly be brought into active
competition with the old. Therefore
the existing banks were able to make
only weak assault upon the expert
ment.
1--WE favor the establishment of
postal savings bank system for the
convenience of the people and the en-
couragerent of thrift said the re-
publican platform Of two and a half
years ago. The thrift" argument has
a good deal of force. Many recently
arrived aliens are somewhat distrust-
full of the ordinary banks. They want
something with governmental guar
antee behind. They had this sort
If backing for their savings in the
countries of their birth, and they felt
safe on this account. For those peo.
pie the new scheme in the United
States will have a powerful attraction.
Many Amerisans, too, as we learn
every short time through the losses
which they sustain, are distrustsul of
the savings banks, and hide their
money in stockings, in stoves during
the summer months, and in other
places which they consider to be safe.
The postal savings banks will gather
in these boards Thus they will add
to the sum of the fluid capital of the
country, and will have a tendency to |
give stimulus to trade.

When J. Pluvius demonstrated yester-

said at the weather bureau that the rain

predicts that unsettled weather will con-
tinue tonight and all day tomorrow.

CONGRESS AND NEPoTIsm.

The following is from the Atlanta
Georgian and incidentally this subject
of nepotism in both branches of CON
gress is growing to be a serious one
it is being attacked by the press all
over the country. #
Under the above caption The Column
ibia g. CD State upbraids a custom
which mas lately grown to such pro-
portions as to demand serious thought
at the hands of the American pub
lie. &
The practice of nepotism by meniE
bers of congress in the appointment
of relatives to important clerkshi3g
has, become well night universal y
Perhaps the only exception TO tf&
rule are found in the ranks of the
weather. senators and representatives
whose means being ample ere not
put to the necessity Of thus providing
Tor kinsmen. The argument which
the South Carolina paper makes is
well timed Says The State:
FOf course the system is shameful;
it is a method by which congress.
men squeeze out of the national treas
ury by indirection moneys that they
dare not vote to themselves by open
and above board appropriation. If
the salary of $500 year be not
enough for a congressman, the salary
ought to be increased and the country
should be saved the disgrace of fore
ing or permitting its representatives
to engage in petty pilfering under a
miserable false pretense. When d
custom evil in itself becomes so well
that those who practice it
are no longer held blamable by public
the degrading effect of the
custom nevertheless survives to the
of persons addicted there
