Postal Savings.


The bill to establish postal savings
banks, which will be urged upon con
gress as an administrative measure,
has teen practically formulated, sub
ject, of course, to possible modifica-
ton to cure possible defects that may
be disclosed. But its main features as
outlined seem TO Ncoyer the require
ments. 81
The bill makes every postoffice
which issues money orders a postal
savings depository, and leaves it to
the postal authorities to increase the
number of such offices as future de-
mands may warrant. Anyone may
deposit money to a postal savings ac-
count not to exceed 500 in any one
month moi to exceed in the aggregate
$500, the balance to draw interest at
the rate of 2 per cent per annum
credited once a year. Deposits must
be in multiples of 81, but to facilitate
the saving of smaller amounts a stamp
device is provided for by which the
stamped card may be converted into a
deposit with each accumulated dollar.
The money is to be ~redeposited in
United States repositories at not less
than 2A per cent, and safeguarded by
special securities or bonds. as now re-
CURED for government deposits. The
redeposit is to be made in the nearest
United States depository bank, which
should e~ffectually answer the objec-
ton that this system will tend to
transfer the savings of the whole
country to Wall street.
The measure as thus outlined seems
to be free from Confusing compli-
cations and to possess the necessary
safeguards to appeal to the support or
all who favor the postal savings bank
system, even though this particular
bill may deviate here and there from
what might be, thought the ideal sys-
TEN. 1t must not be imagined, how
ever, that the bill is to have smooth
sailing Just because it has the backing
of the presidenB and his administra-
ton, and as the opposition is ure to
be .solidly phalan&ed, it behooves the
friends of postal savings to agree
among themselves and to stand to-
gether as a unit.

Pensions Tor LibrarY worker.

The completion by one of the
workers in the Omaha Public library
Of twenty-five years Of continuous
service emphasizes the suggestion,
which we understand has already been
made through other sources, that Mr..
Carnegie would be doing the handsome
thing If he were to endow a foundation
for retirement pensions for library
workers similar to hat which he has
established for the benefit of retired
university professors.
1t is well known that Mr.. Carnegie's
magnificent gifts Of library buildings
to hundreds or progressive cities and
towns has given new life to the public
library as an educational center in
these various communities, and that
this growth and expansion has made
library work almost a profession. All
over the country are to be found thou
sands of bright men and women who
are devoting their lives to the handling
of books in these treasure houses, and
making JHelT COuJeHtS dCCeHSlplo "
those who would use them. This work
now calls for an /exacting education
and a reasonably high order of ability
short only in degree, If at all, of what
is required for instruction in the gen.
eral run of colleges and universities.
AS the patron saint of the library,
Mr.. Carnegie ought to be as much in
terested in the welfare Of the library
workers and in assuring them against
want when their days of usefulness
have ended as he is in the welfare of
the college professors a foundation
for retirement pensions for library
workers should be n of the early
moves on Mr.. Carnegie's chessboard of
philanthropy.

Why DistOrt History9

In a series of interesting arti-
Giles setting forth some personal rec
objections of his public life, ex-Sen-
ator Henderson exploits his part in
securing the initial appropriation for
the new federal building at Omaha,
for which all will concede him a great
share of credit, But incidentally com
menting on the struggle for the selec-
ton of a place for its erection, he
declares:
+ There were many schemes of property
owners who thought to place the build
ing where it would advance their bust
ness interests, but fortunately these were
all defeated by the action of a competent
governmental official, who was appointed
by the secretary of the treasury to visit
Omaha and select the site.
Why seek to distort history? 1t is
q matter Of common ~notoriety that
the selection of the ~postoffice site
marked not the defeat, but the sue
cess of the schemes of one group of
property owners to advance their own
business interests. 1t Is a matter of
common notoriety also that the agent
sent here by the Treasury department
was either prejudiced in advance in
behalf of these particular business in
terests or was flagrantly imposed on
by them after he got here. 1t is a
further conclusion, to which few dis
interested people familiar with the
facts will dissent, that it would have
been far better for the city, as we'll
as for the government, had the post
office building been located on the
crest of the hill, where it could have
been seer and where it would have
had the advantage of solid ground
for s~ub-structure, rather than hidden
at the bottom Of a hill on spongy
soil, imposing great additional ex-
pense to get a foundation and keep out
the water seepage.
The old Omaha postoffice fight is
dead history and the personal ami
mosities that arose out Of it have long
since been buried, but that does not
make black white nor change indis-
putable facts.

One years Building Record.

Figures are finally at hand to show
that 1909 was remarkable as a year
of building activity. In fifty-nine of
the principal cities of-the country
permits were taken out for the con-
struction of 19O,664 buildings, to
cost $716,45S,442, during that year,
as against 166,151 buildings, to cost
$5OS, 454,406, for the year 1908.
This shows an increase of Al per cent
for the year in cost and an increase
of 24,513 buildings. The average
cost Of buildings for 1909, according
to these figures, was $3,758, and for
1908 it was $4,000. Omaha's share
in this increase is very gratifying,
the city's total showing an increase
of 29 per- cent for the year in value
of buildings erected.
In the class of buildings erected
Omaha shows up especially well, The
average cost of buildings for this
city, according to the report, was
$4,4S6, almost $1,000 above the aver
age for the country. Compared with
cities of its class Omaha shows UP
even better In Indianapolis the aver
age value Of buildings erected was
$1,71O; in Seattle it was $3.50; in
Kansas City, 1916; in Denver, $3,-
$50; in st. Paul, $2,S94; in Mime
apolis, $2,161; in Atlanta, $1,2Ss.
These comparisons might be con
tinued, but this is enough to show
that Omaha is building better than
many of its rivals. The average cost
of buildings erected has been high in
omaha~fo years, indicating the OK
cellent quality Of the city's permanent
growth.

The Need for Sane Thinking.

The average American of today
realizes that he is living in an age of
unrest, that the fusion Of a vast and
diverse population necessarily pro
duces much confusion. Vast and
mighty problems are continually
emerging from subterranean human
conditions, whose proper solution car
ries with it the future progress of the
country. \
Demagogues and a~gitators would
have us believe that all these prob
lens may be easily solved by a simple
formula. Many "get-well-quick''
panaceas are widely advertised, and
the unthinking are caught by the
glitter. But social disease as that of
the individual is long in brewing and
takes time for curing. Nowhere is
patience productive of better results
than when II produces sanity of action
in a time of social turmoil. When a
house is burning the fireman does not
necessarily destroy the building. How
ever quickly he works he still takes
time first to locate the fire.
In the present time a cool headed
citizenship is needed If we are to cope
successfully with our many urgent
problems. Too many are prone to too
much discussion and too little think
ing. Patent medicine reformers set
up their rostrum on the nearest street
corner, and a new political issue at
once arises warranted to cure every
social i'll known and unknown by a
liberal application of the universal
trouble-solver. There are many people
among us who freely express more
positive opinions on national subjects
than does the most experienced nan
in public life. That the opinion is
ready made for them. does not matter
since they had not time to think it out
for themselves. The time will come,
however, when independent thinking
will be less rare and no n will be
expected to come to a conclusion on a

both sides of it and has at least given
to it some sane and consecutive
thought.
There have been other periods in
the worlds history when epochs have
been differentiated, but never have
the signs of change been 80 visible. It
may be due TO the fact that we are a
more intelligent people than our fore
bears and consequently have powers
of observation more highly trained.
Be this as 1t may a citizenship is
stronger as 1t develops farsishted
faculties. The real statesman reads
current events in the light OF past
history that he may build mor secure
foundations for future policies.
When the present youth of our land
are citizens our current vents will be
