DANGERS THAT DON'T EXIST

| In making a loud speech against
the establishment of postal savings
banks in the United States senate a
couple of days ago Senator Hepburn
of Idaho raised the point that the
government would get control of such
a huge sum of money from the de-
posits in these banks that it would be
| able to dictate the interest rates pre-
vailing in the nation. He insisted that
the government purposes to go into
the loaning business and intends to
FIX the rate of interest at IN per
cent" and he asserted that this would
have a serious effect on the incomes
now derived from funds invested at
and per cent. Then putting on
the soft pedal and injecting a few
tears into his voice he asked: Should
we so forget our duty to the widows
and orphans whose funds are thus
invested as to disturb the earning
capacity of their investments
That widows and orphans" dodge
is as old as the ways of politicians,
and hasn't very much weight now
adays with sensible people. Except
for the widows and orphans of mill
lionaires and other men of wealth
lionaire class. the incomes of widows
and orphans depend as a general
thing on their own efforts. Take it
through life generally and most peo-
pie will have to admit it to be their
experience that the general run of
widows and orphans are left nothing
more than small insurance policies
which are soon exhausted, and more
hof inf dis.
missing the widow and orphans
feature of Senator Heyburn's argu-
ment the point he makes on the die
the government If the rate on postal
savings banks funds is fixed at 2A
per cent does not appear to be well
taken.
Ever since the general and savings
banks systems now in operation in
the country have been developed to
their present large proportions, these
banks have had control of a major
portion of the funds of the people of
the nation. Never have these banks
paid large rate of interest on de-
posits as compared with interest rates
that it has been possible to obtain in
other mediums of investment. Now if
there is anything to Senator Hey
burns argument why is it that it
always has been possible to make in
vestments bringing in higher rates
of interest than the rates which are
paid by or fixed by the banks? Why
hasn't the bank rate of interest die
tated all other rates of interest?
The senator from Idaho will have
to dig up a stronger and better argu-
ment If he hopes to kill the postal
savings bank plan. And as for the
unfortunate widows and orphans of
the land, it seems that the public
men never happen to think of their
interests unless they have an Interior
motive to press home,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

IFrom the Chicago NewsJ
A truth-telling woman has but few
feminine friends.
No, Cordelia, ALI sharp men are not

There are two sides to every Ques-
tion-your side and the wrong side
A girl likes an honest young man
if he isn't too honest to steal a kiss.
How many people do you know

The woman who tells everything
she hears generally adds a little bit
more.
A man never realizes how MANY
faults he has until he has been mar

Our idea of stingy woman is one

Once in a very great while we meet

the stomachs of healthy young men
only, the foods so treated will be given
the aged, the delicate, and the sick

servatives impart but little or no taste
to foods puts their use beyond the
power of detection by the ordinary
consumer. Unless it is absolutely dem
onstrated that when taken in food
in practically unlimited amounts, no
deleterious effect is produced on per-
