Savings Banks and Thrift.

Savings Banks and Thrift.
Now the postal savings banks will
have a trial. Perhaps they will help
settle the moot question whether saw
ings banks really promote prosperity.
Retail men in many large cities even
now complain that money is being
withdrawn from circulation to go into
savings bank vaults and ''lie idle"
Some banks have all they can handle.
But does money deposited in savings
banks really lie idle? 1t is loaned to
finance some public work or public
convenience. 1t circulates in another
way and in time gets around tn the
retail mans counter. although the orig
inal hoarder is not the spender Of It.
When confidence is established in a
bank boarded money flows In. 1t would
have been boarded anyway and neyer
put in circulation. Accumulated in
bank. 1t ultimately gets to work. Econ
omists have always taught that the
true policy is to encourage individuals
to save. In the end these accumula-
lions Of individual boards benefit the
common interest. And 50 thrift makes
double wealth.

The Fight Moving Pictures.

The Fight Moving Pictures.
Moving picture exhibitions Of a GER
tain kind have long been under the
ban Of respectable public opinion. 1t
is not surprising. therefore. that some
communities seek to draw the line
against a series of subjects which not
only jar upon the feelings Of the aver
age citizen. but are likely to stir up bad.
blood in those inclined to be reckless.
If not vicious. AS q rule. moving pic
lures gather a tame crowd of specta-
tors. However. children are among
the patrons. and the scenes exhibited.
as well al the associations ncou
tered. are not always such as careful
parents would select for their little
ones.
1t stands to reason that pictures Of
the Reno fight will attract the rougher
element of the towns where they are
shown. Comments for or against a
favorite will often be taken as a chal-
lenge o. IN insult and blows will re-
suit. either in the show or outside.
The principals in the moving. picture
fight will seem to be alive. and to wit
ness a struggle is enough to arous
ugliness In excitable, natures. The
spectator feels himself part of the
on the canvas and takes sides
just as he would have done in the rim.
pavilion. Practically as a menace to
public order the pictures of this par
ticular event seem to be the limit.
