President Taft is showing keen in

Penrose Confers With Taft.
Senator Penrose had a couple of per-
sonal interviews with President Taft
in Washington last week, following his
official conferences with him and Post
master General Hitchcock regarding
the establishment of postal savings
banks. AS chairman of the committee
on postoffices and post roads, Senator
Penrose has given the subject of pos
tai banks much study and he says he
is pleased with the progress being
made by the postal department to pro-
| vide for this innovation. He is of the
opinion that the proposed system is in
advance of the methods employed in
older countries.
Senator Penrose's conferences with
the president were made the occasion
of much newspaper comment. The

independent paper directing attention
to the strength of the Republican par
ty in Pennsylvania, made this state

watches with interest the factiona
