gressional committee, visited western head

month. In his statement Mr. Mckinley
said:
I'VE have canvassed the situation in var
ious states and see no reason to change
the opinion that the republicans will con-
troll the next house Of representatives by
good working majority. our democratic
friends are indulging themselves in their
usual election claims
The republican party will make no
apology for its record The new tariff law
has surprised all in producing the two re-
suits expected Of a good tariff law, t. G.
increased revenue and prosperity The
democrats have failed miserably in their
effort to attribute the hish cost of living,
worldwide condition, 10 the tariff.
Prices are as high in free trade England
and elsewhere abroad as in this county.
Il consider that President Taft is grow
ing stronger daily In the faith of the Amer
lcan people, in his sincerity in working
out his own, and the Roosevelt policies"

East Would Use,
w est Would Save
Postal Savings
Notable Difference in Attitude of
People in Two Sections with
Regard to New Banks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Minnesota Is
leading the demand for postal savings
banks. More than 10 per cent OF all appli-
cations received at he Treasury depart
ment have come from there The bulk Of
all the applications comes from the terri
tory west OF the Mississippi
While the vest Is leading In the de-
mund for postal banks, the east is leading
in applications from other banks that want
to be repositories OF the funds. For every
postal savings bank which has been asked
for in the east, there are two private banks
asking to be named as repositories OF pos ;al
money.
The difference in the sentiment is we'll
illustrated by comparing New York and
oklahoma. The empire state has applied
Tor eight banks and oklahoma to date
wants eleven.
Pennsylvania, however, has thlrty-four
applications.
At present there is not money enough
appropriated to establish postal savings
banks in the largest centers of population.
Spokane, Wash, is a strong candidate for
the first bank.
