Fifty Postal Banks Nov. l

Washington, Aug. 30 Within
the next thirty days the postal
savings bank system will be in
augurated in the United States
and the present indications are
that at least Is and possibly 50
banks will be operating by that
time. These banks will probably
be the only one opened until af-
ter congress makes an additional
appropriation. The money al
ready appropriated, 100000, is not
expected to carry the work very
far, but will be sufficient to- start
it and enable the trustees to as
certain how much additional help
will be needed in the various post
offices and what the cost of oper-
alton will be. Out of this $780, 600
must come the funds for books
and printed matter that will be
required and for depositors' cards
and other essential paraphernalia,
The plan adopted by the trus-
tee1 is to open the banks in sec
tons of the country where indus
trial conditions r varied. Very
few of the banks will be establish
ed in the large cities at the out
set. 1t has also been decided that
depositors shall not be provided
with bank books. Instead OF
these, cards will be issued to de-
positors which will be perforated
to show the amount of money de-
posted. Duplicates of the cards
will be kept in the postoffice, thus
obviating much bookkeeping. The
cards will be nontransferrable and
non-negotiable, and if lost dupli-
Gates will be issued. A machine
similar to a cash register will be
used in perforating the cards. II
is expected that in the course Of
time the whole system will bt
self sustaining, inasmuch as thu
government will only pay 2 pei
cent interest on deposits and viii
receive 21-4 per cent from depos'
tories.

After the census Of 1900 the Dem
ocratic Legislature apportioned the
State into sixteen congressional dis
tricts-a gain of n district over the
number the State had under the cen.
sus of 1890. Every n of the dis
tficts outside of st. Louis was 30 ger.
rymandered as to make 1t safely Dem
ocratic at that time. From the wards
and precincts naturally belonging to
the Eleventh and Twelfth districts In
st. Louis were taken such strongholds
as would have made those districts
Republican and these were placed in
the Tenth, with st. Louis county,
thus creating one district In which
the Republican vote was larger than
in any district in the United States
double that Of any other district In
Missouri.
The year 1900 was the banner
Bryan year in Missouri and the Dem
ocrats polled an exceptionally heavy
vote. The fifteen districts were ger.
rymandered on the basis of that vote,
population being only an incidental
consideration. Since that year the
democratic vote has decreased in all
but the Fifth and Fourteenth districts.
An extraordinary increase In the Fifth
is not attributed to honest voting but
largely to ballot box frauds. The Re-
publican vote has increased in ten OF
the thirteen districts outside of st.
Louis, with a heavy increase in the
districts within that city.
The figures here given exclude the
st, Louis districts-the Tenth, Elev-
enth and Twelfth-in order to show
the growth of the Republican vote
and loss of and in Democratic major
tiles in the counties. The exhibit dem
o%nstrates the fact that a dishonest,
detestable gerrymander of representa-
tive districts Is not a safe refuge for
the; decadent Democracy Of Missouri
Though robbed of their right to fair
representation In Congress and In the
State Senate. the Republicans are
marching on, steadily, firmly and sue
c~essfully. They are standing for prin
ciples and for good policies instead Of
c%ontending merely for party adyan
tage.
The showing here made Is on the
presidential vote. as that represents
more clearly the real political senti
nient of the voters. 1t is a party, moi
q personal vote. 1t shows whether
the voters are Democratic or Repub
!ican at heart. The following sum

The question of motive is most
important when the work of the
Republican leaders who are re-
sponsible for the present tariff is
considered. Were they really sim
cere, or were they swayed by in
terests affected by the schedules
adopted?
The president says they were
sincere. He believes that. H. was
in constant touch with them and
advised them. II they we're un-
duly influenced in the main, or in
any essential particular, he would
have observed it and would have
condemned it. OF course every
congressman and senator sought
to protect the interests of his
own constituents as far as consis-
tent. Several Missouri RepubIi-
can Congressman were. sent to
congress for that purpose, their
Democratic predecessors having
neglected the material interests of
their districts. And th;se Repub-
lican congressman succeeded in
protecting certain important inter
ests when the schedules affecting
those interests were under con-
sideration. They got nothing I'M
fair, nothing unreasonable for
their constituents, but they got
what Democratic representatives
could not have secured and would
not have sought. What is true OF
Missouri Republican congressman
was true of congressman from
other states-is true of some DEM
ocratic congressman and senator's.
They all wanted the best that
could be obtained in protective
legislation for their W states.
The process of tariff makiug
was, to a great extent, a process
of giving and taking, of fighting
the interests of one state or one
section and holding fest to the
I~llltIcblb VI tidl OldNC vi oCSNioi
represented by the congressman
or senator doing the voting. But,
underneath all this was the pledge
and promise of the Republican par
ty that the tariff should be honest
ly revised, with a downward ten
dency on all articles of general
or necessary use. That promise
was paramount with Republicans,
and many of them surrendered
what they would otherwise nave
contended for in order to make a
bill that would conform, as nearly
as possible, to the party pledge.
President Taft says the Republi-
cans we're sincere in purpose and
that the result is a fulfillment, in
great measure, ii not altogether.
of the promise made the people
by the Republican party before the
election Of 1908. '',( Us

At a meeting of the Seventh
District Democratic Congressional
Committee ringing" resolutions
were adopted praising Congress-
man Hamlin for all his great deeds
while in Congress. The main
thing he did was to secure appro-
priations from the National Gov

for his district. Now wouldn't ii
have been more consistent from
a Democratic view for Mr.. Ham

this amount and then "pointed

Taft and the Tariff.

President Taft has written a
letter to the Chairman of the Re-
publican National Congressional
Committee that will serve as a de-
claration from the present Nation
al administration on the issues OF
the present campaign.
In that letter he says of the
tariff bill: 81 have signed the
Payne tariff bill because I believe
it to- be the result of a sincere ef-
fort on the part of the Republican
party to make a downward re-
vision, and to comply with the
promises of the platform as they
have been generally understood
and as I interpreted them" AND
he further says "The bill is not
a perfect tariff bill, or a complete
compliance with the promises
made, strictly interpreted"
Here Is a frank, honest avow'
al from the present head of Iehe
Republican party. He does not
attempt to dodge the criticism OF
Democrats and DISSATISFIED Repub-
licans but states the honest truth
And the honest truth about tar
if legislation is, always has been
and always will be, that no con-
gress can perfect a Tariff law sat-

The Republicans carried Yer
mont Tuesday by a majority of
$4,000, about 5000 below the ave>

for the falling off. Vermont is
considered a good political baro-

UNDER THE OCEAN.
Things That Happen at the Bottom
of the Sea-

Naturalists dispute as to the quantity
of light at the bottom of the sea. Ami
mails from below 700 fathoms either
have no eyes or faint indications of
them. or else their eyes are very large
and protruding.
Another strange thing is that if the
creatures in the lower depths have any
color it is orange or red or reddish
orange. Sea anemones. corals, shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color
Sometimes it is pure red or scarlet.
and in many specimens it inclines TO-
ward purple. Not a green or blue fish
is found.
The orange red is the tish's protec-
ton, for the blush green light in the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear of a neutral tint
and hides it from its enemies. Many
animals are black. others neutral in
color. Some fish are provided with
boring tails. so that they can burrow

General Trade.

General trade shows some slacken-
ing at this season of the year. The
situation has also been somewhat af
fected by the revival of labor and
tariff agitation, as well as by the in
creasing cost of doing business. A
good deal of discomfort is developing
from the increased cost of living, out
of which more or less political CAPT
tai is sure to be made. All meat and
animal products are now selling at
abnOrmally high prices, with little re-
lief in sight until next season, when
an increase in the supply of both cat.
tie and hogs is promised. Groceries
generally are selling at lower prices
than year ago. although retailers
are not always giving their custom
ers the benefit of low prices. Cloth
ing is higher owing to the tariff and
increased cost Of manufacture; the
result being that the average man is
obliged to accept an inferior suit for
the price he is accustomed to pay.
Shoes are advancing. Rents are high.
and there is little prospect of their
declining until the cost of building
is reduced or the supply of homes
increased. Nevertheless a great deal
more is frequently made of the in
creased cost of living than is justi-
fed, especially when it affords plaus-
ible reason for an advance of wages.
The cost of living is matter largely
within the discretion of each individ-
ual. Cheaper and equally efficient
foods can be had, and many individu-
ais have become accustomed to luxu-
rious standards of living which they
can easily moderate without detri-
ment. Extravaganza has more to do
with the increased cost of living than
many are willing to admit A little
economy and patience will in due sea-
son mitigate the situation and en-
courage corrective influences.
