POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Post Office Report Carries Argument
in Favor.

Post Office Report Carries Argument
in Favor.
Washington.-An argument In Ia
vor Of the establishment of postal
savings banks is contained in the
annual report Of o. Chance. aud
itor for the Postoffice Department.
He alleges that In the last twenty
years foreigners in the United States
have sent back to their homes BY
means of money orders the enormous
sum Of $431,956,623 in excess Of the
amount that they have received from
abroad. This represents the surplus
earnings of foreign labor employed
in the gigantic industrial and COM
mercial business Of the country. Aud
itor Chance says that 1t Is fair a.
sumption that a majority Of the for
eign element sojourning In this coun-
try would patronize government pos.
tai savings banks, and thus con-
siderable share of the millions OF
dollars now annually spent abroad
for deposit In banks Of their own
countries would remain here In the
custody Of the Secretary of the Treas-
ury.

the full names of the President Of
the United States, a justice Of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
the Governor of Rhode Island. a
justice of the Supreme Court OF
Rhode Island, and the mayor Of
Providence when the questions were
proposed as a test. Prof. Munroe de-
sired to make an experiment based
on the recent attempt to secure .
constitutional amendment In Mary
land, requiring from voters ability to
answer correctly questions similar
to these. Eighteen of the twenty
four members of the class gave cor
rectly the Presidents full name. and
two knew only his last name. No
one succeeded in giving the full
name partly correct. Seven could not
give even the last name Of Justice.

Raleigh, N. C.-The Farmers Ma
tional Congress at its three sessions
held Saturday heard many addresses
and discussions of matters affecting
the interests of farmers. The matter
Of the service of the railroad to agri-
cultural interests came up frequently.
At the afternoon session, Prof. H.
E. Stockbridge. editor of Southern
Ruralist," Atlanta, said inferiority in
Southern farming 10 due to the pre-
ponderance of the inferior negro
race. and that must be an effort to
raise the ability of that race.

NJ. v. Richards, land and Industrial

bon Society, appealed to the farmers
to protect the birds that aid them.
The delegates to the congress return
ed after their visit to Durham and
Greensboro and resumed its sessions
with an address by John Shelton Will
liams, former president and now dir
ector Of the Seaboard Air Line. Mr..
Williams directed his remarks to the
relationship existing between the
farming industry and the railroads
and entered a strong protest against
the proposition of unlimited railway
consolidation and combination.
Andrew NJ. Soule. president of the
Georgia Agricultural College. declar-
ed that schools of the present time
we're too far away from the actual
needs of the people and should be
industrialized to suit the times.
Chief Justice Walter Clark, Of North
Carolina. speaking of the South and
its advantages, said that in addition
to its need for more people, It wanted
a square deal and fair play from
the national government"

Toronto.-That the American
