CASH REGISTERS
IN POSTAL BANK
Yankee Ingenuity 10 Mark
Adoption Of Plan.
START WITH old SYSTEM.

Cumbersome Foreign Procedure Of
Pass Books to Be Dropped as Soon
as Desirable Machine Is Invented to
Safeguard Money Deposits of Public,
Says Postmaster General.
That the United States will have a
postal savings bank plan entirely diff
ferent from all other postal savings
schemes and that it's superiority over
other systems is tribute to Yankee
ingenuity are two of the facts brought
out in an explanation made recently
by Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, concerning his intentions re-
garding this new financial feature in
the life of the country.
Mr.. Hitchcock has assured himself
curely for the establishment of the
postal banks.
Cash Register Guards Deposits.
Although every other country which
has postal savings bank system uses
the pass book plan in order to keep
track Of the deposits of money. Mr..
Hitchcock. after many conferences with
authorities on savings banks. has de-
liberately cut loose from this scheme.
He has decided to adopt plan which
in the end will depend upon machin-
cry.
To be more exact, the cash register.
essentially an American idea, will keep
tabs on the deposits of money and will
guard the public against the possibili-
ty of embezzlement and theft on the
part of those who handle the sums
turned in to be guarded by the gov
eminent.
Never before has this plan been con-
sidered by any country. and all over
Europe there is now in effect the
cumbersome scheme of handling pass
books. All the other postal savings
plans Of the world are practically
identical.
1t is now up to some inventive genius
to put on the market cash register
which will do the things required for
handling the money intrusted to the
pOStOIuceS OF the OulIeu States.
Deposit Slips at First.
But Mr.. Hitchcock has not calculat-
ed that the cash register system can
be put into operation at once, first.
because no satisfactory register is on
the market and. secondly. because the
expense of installing the system at
once would be too great.
For the first six months or a year
there will be used deposit slips. han
died by hand. They will be in figures
from 81 to 50. and in addition to these
there will be slips for $40. $50 and $50.
The $40. 500 and $50 slips will be made
out in duplicate, SO that there will be
no opportunity for clerks or receiving
tellers to fasify them.
Only the slips running from 81 to 50
will be made out in ink as issued. and
the postmaster general has figured
that there is slight chance Of anybody
mourning the danger of the peniten-
tiary for the benefit of classifying any
entry less than $40.

What if Foreign Composition Should

without The Republican tariff po.
icy he wheels of Pennsylvania indus
try would be motionless. its stacks
smokeless. its FORCES silent. the hum of
its prosperity hustled" This piece of
pathetic baldertlash appeared in Il
Pennsylvania paper recently and
doubtless expresses the belief of many
thousands of decded people not only
In Pennsylvania. but in most other
states. 1t therefore deserves a little
examination
Frankly. we must contend that it
would be an excellent thing if the
smokestacks of Pittsburg were put out
of business. its FORCES cold and its
wheels silent. If the comfor. and pros
perity of tne people could be attained
without them. There is nothing in
their appearance nor III the Industrial
enslavement which they tend to pro-
mote for humanity to crow over. if we
consider them as an end in themselves.
1t is only as Il means Of procuring en-
ployment. and consequently the conf
forts of life. for such a large indus
trial population that their existence Is
to be tolerated. However. serving the
purpose that they do, the only way
that these wheels could be set idle is
by the foreigner supplying us with the
goods which the wheels now produce.
But would not the foreigner take some
thing from us in return? And would
not the Bethlehem blast furnace men
be MS well employed in making that
something as in roasting for seven
days week at 1919 cents an hour? At
any rate. they could not well be worse
off.
The only way the foreigner can leave
us idle is to supply us with the goods
which we now obtain only through la
Dor. II he takes from us other goods
in return. let us be content to make
those goods instead of persisting in do
ing what he can do for us cheaper.
But II, as some muddle-headed pro-
tectionists think. he takes nothing from
us In return. so much the better for us.
We would then be getting the means
of living without working for them.
and that Is surely the workingman's
millennium.
But what Is the use of discussing the
above supposition when the steel and
iron industry. in the opinion of men
like Mr.. Carnegie. is able to hold it's
own under free competition? Without
the tariff Pennsylvania prosperity
would be just as great as it is now
would not be so profitable. but legiti-
mate capital and labor would get their
honest return.

EXPENSE IN CRlPPEN'S
CASE RECORD IN LONDON.
Scotland Yard Never Before Expended
$4,000 on One Crime.

1t is estimated that pursuit. capture
and trial of DR.. Crippen will cost the
taxpayers 3sApndon $4,000. Never be-
fore has Scotland Yard spent so much
In the pursuit Of any criminal.
A large item in the Yards" Crippen
bill is the cost Of kilograms and cables
giving descriptions of Crppen. which
were sent to many continental, Ameri-
can and Canadian police headquarters.
This item will amount to $780,
Twenty-Five thousand large posters.
containing descriptions Of Crippen and
Miss lie Neve. with reproductions of
their photographs and handwriting,
were scattered broadcast up and down
two continents. Fifty clerks were en-
gagged night and day for long time
in wrapping. addressing and mailing
these posters. That will be costly
item.
Then there is the expense Of sending
Inspector Dew to Canada and the ex-
pense Of another detective and ward
ress who have gone to Quebec to look
after the prisoners on their way back
to England. Then there is the reward
of $780, which will have to be paid
to Captain Kendall of the steamship
Montrose. There is. too. the cost of
the long coroner's inquest. with the
fees for analytical chemists.
The trial of Crippen will not be very
expensive. nor will it last long. Eng
lisa criminal courts move with swift
ness and without technicalities. 1t is
not expected that Crippen's trial will
consume more than three or four days.
If he is sentenced to death he will be
hanged on the third Monday morning
following the day of his conviction.
Convicted criminals under a recent
statute have the right to appeal. but
the appeal court works swiftly and.
like the lower court. pays little atten-
ton to technicalties.

The lesson of this state of things is
that would-be thieves ought not to

laws which permit theft. Indeed. every

covered this fact. Only the idiotic and
imbecile thieves rob banks and are
guilty of petty larcenies nowadays.
