May Solve a Bond Problem.

Tentatively It has been decided TO put
the postal savings bank system into
operation by New Years If the plan is
success. and there is no reason TO doubt
IT Will be. postal deposits in large amounts
will help to solve some very serious
Treasury problems. IT is more than prob
able that large accumulation OF postal
deposits may obviate the necessity for
an issue Of more Panama bonds.
As il is impossible to issue Panama
bonds under the provision Of the tariff
act OF August. 1909 without disorimi-
mating against the S7Sl. 10000 already out
standing, unless Congress should adopt
the suggestion Of the Secretary of~the
Treasury 10 adjust the tax on national
bank note circulation. it is obvious that
since postal deposits are exchangeable at
the option Of the depositors for United
States bonds. the general fund In the
Treasury. at some time or other, may
be augmented to such an extent that It
win enable the government to pay for
the remaining Panama Canal construc-
ton out of that fund.

Mr. Rookefeller and a Servant.

An intimate view" Of Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller has been divuIged In the
course OF a remarkable narrative con-
tributed TO one of the current magazines
by a business man OF Cleveland. Ohio.
This man, whose MANS is Briggs. ap-
pears TO hAve been enlisted in the serv-
Ice OF Mr. Rockefeller through the agency
of the pastor OF Rockefeller's church in
Cleveland. Briggs describes himself as
tagging around after Rockefeller on au-
tomobile trips and acting as a sort of
buffer. keeping interyiewers az distance
and allaying the alarm which Rockefeller
entertained OF violence 20 himself. This
sort Of thing proceeded for a period OF
three years, and Mr. Briggs gives some
interesting incidents OF RockefeIier's lido
synerasies.
According 10 Mr.. Briggs account, his
useful though~servile attendance upon
Rockefeller went without remuneration
from the beneficiary. except in the way
OF many evidences OF oral appreciation.
There appears 10 have been no definite
understanding regarding the rate Of wage
AT the end OF three years. Mr.. Briggs
sent in a bin OF $4,000 for the services
he had rendered. The clergyman who
had negotiated the connection had for

less as a witness in the suit contem-
plated by Mr.. Briggs, who Incorporates
In his article certain letters exchanged
between himself and Mr.. Rockefeller
and their attorneys. After many passes
and various humiliating snubs, Mr.. Rock

dial interview which ensued resulted in
Mr.. Briggs handing Mr.. Rockefeller a
complete release from his obligation, with
out any disbursement on the part OF
Mr.. Rockefeller other than good will
and arabIe chatter covering period of
about three hours.

In this case until 1920.
