Postal Savings Banks Slow Ia
Coming.

Postal savings banks are not naterializ-
ing as rapidly as some of e advocates Of
that reform would wish. Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock announces that postal
savings banks upder the new law will not
be generally established "for a long
time. . The board of trustees which has
the matter in charge will first try the
system out in three or four of our larger
cities-meantime seeking information as
TO methods in Europe. The measure has
been long time coming. Nearly forty
years ago (I87Il Postmaster General Cres-
well, who, by the way, was from our own
county of Cecil, and was the originator of
the postal card, recommended the system;
and his successors Maynard, James,
Howe, Carey, Wanamaker, Meyer and
Hitchcock-made similar recommends
tons. From 1873 down to the present
congress, fifty bills for the creation of the
institution were introduced in the house
and thirty in the Senate-all of which fell
by the wayside. Finally the popular de.
mand for postal banks became so pro-
nounced that the republican and demo-
cratic parties both expr essly promised the
institution of ong-delayed concession
to the wishes of the people. Now it ap-
pears the people must wait an indefinite
time before they can expect to see the
establishment Of the banks contemplated
in the law. Thirty-one of the leading ma
tions of the earth have the system in
operation with no apparent notion of
going back. On the contrary the official
reports very uniformly show that the
postal banks wherever established have
been highly popular and that the constant
tendency is to broaden the field of their
operations, The experiment, too, has
been sufficiently tried out. In Great
Britain, for instance, the system has been
in operation since IS6I-with such success
that after nearly thirty years of trial Glad
stone said in the house of commons: The
postofice savings bank is the most inn
portant institution which has been created
in the last fifty years for the welfare of
the people and the state. consider the
act of 1861, which called this institution
into existence, as the most useful and
fruitful of my long career!" Postal banks
are no novelty. and the practical methods
of their operation are not an unknown
science.

a drop of water ever gets down into

necessity stay much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him. as the
lungs cannot have access to fresh air.
We find that this difficulty has been
anticipated and obyiated by peculiar

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

It is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and, does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach. lower stomach, liver,
spleen, ETC., take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tiuously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli
+. Reynolds.

Senator Cummins of Iowa, has made a
series of specific charges against Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island, which if true,
should land that gentleman in peniten.
tiary for life. Common theft, burglary,
highway robbery, are all child's play
compared to the colossal piracies perpe.
trated upon the American people by the
Rhode Island senator.
Senator Cnmmins charges, in short,
and quote from the record to substantiate
him, that Senator Aldrich, as chairman
of the committee on finance in the upper
body, had the tariff on manufactured
rubber increased to a prohibitive rate,
that be then, with Guggenheim, Morgan
and others, organized the rubber trust,
making his own son vice pres ident and
general manager, and then held up the
American people to the tune of millions
of dollars by compelling the payment of
extortionate prices for rubber goods.
Senator Aldrich has thus, according to
his distinguished republican colleague,
debauched his high Office and become a
brazen highwayman in the guise of U.
S. senator. holding up the whole Amer
lean people, going through their pockets
and transferring their money to his own
private Golfers.

Seven of these United States have,
through their legislatures, enacted two
cent railroad fare law-and these have
been knocked out by federal judges.
The people elect Legislators and these
enact laws, and these laws are annulled
by federal judges placed on the bench by
the corporations that are robbing til :

Allover this country the people demand
two-cent railroad fare law (and even
that is too high but the federal judges

what they are going to do about it.

lts stunted Tree Forms and It's Petri-
fed Forests.

kS Stunted Tree Forms and Its Petri-
fed Forests.
In places In the Colorado desert are
stream beds where perhaps once in
several years heavy rains in distant
mountains will cause water to fiow for
a short time. In these dry water
courses several varieties of stunted
tree forms are often found. The des-
ert willow, which resembles the willow
with which we are familiar, though
smaller in size; the val verde, or green
tree, a tree which is bright green
from trunk to tip of limb in every
twig, and the ironwood. so dense in
fiber that it turns an axis edge. are the
principal varieties. They are rarely
above twenty feet high and. like all
desert vegetation, have not leaf.
They are apparently outcasts from
the two great tree divisions. deciduous
and citrus, for they have leaves nei-
ther to lose nor to keep These may
be called the living dogs of the tree
family. We will find here also the
dead lions.
Not far from the mountain range we
will come upon the remains of what
were once extensive forests of gigantic
trees, now turned to stone and lying
as they fell centuries ago The great
trunks. perfect in grain knot and bark
fiber, cumber the ground in tangled
confusion in those places which have
been protected from the drifting sand,
giving evidence that what is now a
desert was once upon time tropical
wilderness. Travel Magazine.

rather amusing to read the opinions Of
former generations concerning leu

Frederick the Great was SO impo-

would rather hear the neighing of a
horse than the singing of German

was some excuse for such remark.

There is diverting anecdote of an

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Deep gloom has enveloped the Taft ad-
herents and Administration politicians
here as result of Insurgent control Of
the Iowa Republican Convention and the
deliberate blow dealt the President by
that body. No such huniliating treat
ment of Republican President by Re-
publican convention is recalled here and
the opinion of some who have been
watching the situation is that, unless
there should be marvellous change in
public sentiment, it practically puts Taft
out of the running SO far as renomina-
ton is concerned.
Repudiated in Iowa. rebuked in Kansas,
and with such big States as Wisconsin,
Indiana and Minnesota practically con-
trolled by the element of the party to
which he has been openly hostile and
whose leaders he has tried to whip into
line by Withdrawing from them their
share of the Federal patronage, the
Presidents plight is apparent to his blind
est followers and the real revolt against
him can no longer be ignored.
Following close upon the heels of the
sweeping Insurgent victory in Kansas,
the Iowa result is bonnd to encourage
tremendously the Insurgent movement
throughout the other big Western States,
such as Wisconsin, where Senator La
Toilette is candidate for reelection. and
Indiana, where Beveridge is in struggle
to come back to the Senate.

Sir: The editorial in the current Issue of

vana puts the case strongly IN the light Of
honor and patriotism. This country of
ours owes It to her citizens and to others
that not a shadow of doubt should rest
upon what befer that ship.
Many domestic and foreign naval officers
maintained that the explosion was inboard.
Several officers of the Maine held the opin-
ion that the accident was attributable to
defective conLuits for electric wires. A
number Of our naval vessels of that time
had been wired, notwithstanding the pro-
tests of officers, with electric conduts Of
tGrred paper. of which certain makers had
very large stocks when the boards OF fire
