POSTAL BANK DEPOSITS

1t is we'll to understand exactly what
is involved in the postal bank dispute in
Washington. At present, the align
mcnt is between those who stand for
keeping the money deposited i'll postal
banks redeposited in state and national
banks III the communities where it
originates, and those who stand for the
financial policy of England and France,
where postal bank deposits are brought
to the financial centers and there used
to float government bonds.
A practical illustration Of this mat
ter may be had by visiting the western
Canadian provinces.
All of the small banks of Canada are
branches of three or four great banking
houses located in Montreal and eastern
cities. 1t is the standing complaint of
Saskatchewan and Alberta that their
money is drawn to Montreal Just when
they most need it ut home.
Ireland, too, has thirteen millions of
postal bank deposits in London helping
to float the English national debt, while
Ireland itself is impoverished for the
want of money for ordinary purposes Of
trade.
Why are interest rates now nearly
double i'll our western states? Because
money is not available. What will he
the situation if the masses of the people
can be persuaded that their money is
safer in government banks, and in that
way it is wholly withdrawn for use at

sugar trust to draw the fangs from an
institution which is every inch a traitor
to the country that Benedict Arnold
was to his cause. If sense of duty to
the people who put the republican party
in power would not stir it to action, it
would seem that the necessity which
exists for the majority party to relieve
itself of the odium of fellowship with
each of these lawless institutions would
have started an investigation. 1t does
not seem possible that congress-in the
face of the evidence before twill

THE SUGAR TRUST DUTY. OF
CONGRESS

How quickly congress has been able
to forget the Sugar Trust investigation
so loudly called for at the December
opening! Ripper scandals with some
thing more of life and immediate
action are bobbing on the surface. The
high cost of living investigation has
'trotted across the stage, and now the
presidents appearance as the attorney
for the defense. aids in taking the
sugar Trust out of the danger zone
But how much of burden do the
leaders of congress feel they can carry
before the people next fall? 1t did
seem to many as though the success of
the Investigator who discovered the
crooked scales opened an avenue for
the majority in congress to get to the
heart of one of the most desperate
pirates of trade in the whole category
OF trusts. Here is an institution, which
through long series of years, evaded

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what We
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time We doctored six months with
three OF the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took The disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you wUuld call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one eIse's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books, John Leason.
