postal banks, because they had so
guaranty back of the latter institution.
And then he had the bad Judgment to
say that in the panic Of ninety-seven
the people of Maine had so much con-
hdence in the savings banks that they
did not drive one to the wall.
Whereupon Mr.. Sutherland asked him
why he thought depositors in savingA
banks would be any more afraid OF
those institutions after a postal bank
was established than they did before.
And there wasn't any good answer.
In fact, Mr.. Sutherland's argument
in favor of the bill is very strong and
convincing. In considering the ronsti-
tutional phases of the question he was
equally happy. After disposing Of Sem
ator Bacon quite as handily as Senator
Hale, Mr.. Sutherland said:
Mr.. President, throughout the centu-
ries the river flows from the mountains
to the sea; always 1t is the same river,
but those who live upon it's banks are
not always the same people; and SO
yesterday it carried upon its waters
only the primitive canoes of the first
proprietors; today it floats the mer-
chant fleets and the invincible navy OF
the foremost nation in all the files OF
time.
So, Mr.. President, with the constitu-
ton. The constitution is always the
same constitution, but the people who
live under it are not always the same
people. When il was first adopted 1t
had relation to and covered the small
affairs and the simple problems Of the
handful of people who inhabited the
thirteen sparsely settled states along
the Atlantic seaboard. But today it is
extended so as to hold within its mean
ing the vast problems, the vast affairs
the imperial domain of 9O,O00,0OO OF
people living in forty-six tremendous
commemorative stretching from ocean
to ocean, bound together by shining
bands Of steel, upon which moves 9
commerce mightier than that which
plows the seas.
The words of the constitution remain
the same as when that instrument wa:
adopted in seventeen eighty-seven. Blu
new conditions bring new duties;
and there is both good logic and plat
form promise in support of the pro
posed postal bank bill.

NOT JUST THE TAFT GAME.

That excellent Atlanta newspaper,
the Journal, presents a cartoon show
ing President Taft trying TO climb the
second-term hill, with the trusts. Al
drich, Cannon, the insurgents and the
tariff pulling him back down the steep
and naturally difficult declivity. The
thing is well drawn, and the idea Is
clever.
But that probably isn't exactly what
President Taft IS trying to do. Climb
ing the hill called second term; seek
ing the summit Of that always formid-
able mountain-this is not the task of
the President, if we read him correctly.
The man seems to be trying to serve
his country. There are indications that
ne wants at the same time TO conserve
what may be called the resources of
the Republican party. Wherever that
can be done without detriment to the
broader interests of the nation he is
going to consider and promote the in
-terests Of his party. And if that sort
of policy leads him TO the second term
he acts like a man who would accept
the condition; and if that policy shall
prove fatal to the purpose Of retaining
the Presidential chair, he acts like q
man who would lay down the tasks OF
office as calmly as good men resign
themselves to slumber az the close OF
an active and weIl-invested day.
Maybe the American people have
fallen into the too-fast habit. Maybe
they expect a President TO work mira.
cIes; to develop the qualities of a ma
gician, and bring ideal conditions by
the waving of a wand. Maybe they ex'
lpect him to call into existence laws
which viii please every one and dis
please nobody. with the simple device
used by the Creator when He wanted
tight.
For all such, disappointment waits
The President is working with men
with human beings. And while some
of them are clearly wrong, eacl
thinks he is right. Each has a certain
degree OF strength, of ability, even o.
FEASIBILITY. None will stand up or lii
down at the word of command. Th'
President is giving TO the country-tC
the whole Countrywide best admins
tration within the power of a strong, ;
wise, q brave and an unselfsh human
being. He will-with the help Of Coz
and the good peoples backing and con
fidence-get pretty near the desired re
suits. Il may take two or three year
20 win. But win he will.
After that, the Presidential success
sion can be considered. If the peopl
want him for a second term. they vii
have him. II they think then a chang
should be made-it will be made. IN
none of the drawbacks that the Atlant
Journal has fastened about his nee
will ct all impede him, or turn hir
from his honest purpose.

BUT 1T is COMING.

Wireless telephony is coming-sure.
A recent test Of it was made to show
its value for transmitting music. Sew
eral selections were sung IN & trans
mitter at Park avenue and Fortieth
street, New York, and were listened to
by a group of newspaper men at the
METROPOLITAN tower. AT times the sing
ing was very clear. but frequently II
was impossible to hear anything but q
confused blur OF sound.
That is the record Of the matter OF
the wire telephone. 1t was only aftel
experiment that the causes OF the +bluI
of sound" were discovered. and meas
ures taken TO eliminate them. They
were eliminated, and the telephone is
practically perfect.
There is another of the marvels
either achieved, or in process OF
achieving. II the record of the next
fifty years shall be as great as that OF
the fifty years that have just passed
both the wireless telephone and the
flying machine-made practical-will be
added to the equipment of man.

SENATOR SUTHERLAND AS A

The Presidents hope for postal saw

substantial than the friendship of Sem

his ability In advocating the claims Of
the measure.
II is interesting to read the record
of that day in the Senate when the
postal banks bill was under discussion.

UncOunted Money REDUCED

n mr.. MERCHANT. when you take
MI your money from your cash drawer.
' = you count it carefully; separate the
gold, silver and currency; make up your
deposit slip and take it to the bank.
The cashier gives you credit by entering
the date and amount Of deposit IN your
pa:s-book. You then have sense Of
security, as you feel that so much Of your
goods has been turned into money and
is safe.
Would you do business with your
banker, would you trust your money to his
care, if he didn't get perfect cash balance
every day; # he didn't account for every
penny's worth Of business done each dayp
If your banker took no better care Of
your money than you do In your store. you
wouldn't trust him with dollar.
Why is it that only 5 per cent Of bank
ers fail, making an average profit of 5 per
cent, while 90 per cent. of retail merchants
fail making an average gross PROFIT OF ~
per cent?
The answer Is, SYSTEM. The
banker keeps his money counted. He
accounts for every penny.
You wonder, How can have as per-
feet system for caring for my money end
accounts In my store as my banker ha: IN
his bank? ?"
The answer is, by using a National
Cash Register. 1T provides a per

french cablnet ResIans.

The cabinet OF Aristlde BRAND,
the worlds first socialist premier,
which succeeded the Clemenceau
ministry on July 20, 1909 unexpect-
edIy resigned in consequence OF the
bitter attacks made in the chamber
o. deputies upon the government
action in suppressing the recent rail-
road strike and its proposed legisla-
ton for the avoidance OF similar
crisis.
President Fallieres sent for Premier
BRAND and asked him to form new
ministry. The premier accepted the
task. He therefore comes out victor
ious in the cabinet crisis and will
have his own way in moulding the
legislation which he says is needed TO
prevent a recurrence of the railroad
strike which, according TO his views,
nearly plunged the nation into a revo-
luton, and which it is his policy to
guard against by strong enactments.

Strike Oil s2s Feet Down.

Despite the fact that the state
biologists claimed there was absolute
ly no use to bore for oil in this vicin-
ity, Charles Kicker, a promoter of
Fillmore. N. Y, began prospecting on
a farm in Delta township, Ingham
county, some time ago and oil was
struck at depth of S26 feet.
There is every indication of a fine
flow being obtained. The story of the
starting of the well is interesting. No
one in this section ever thought there
were even indications of oil in this
neighborhood until a daughter of the
late Zach Lazelle, while visiting in the
west several months ago, met spirit
ualist medium, who in parted the in
formation to the daughter that there
was oil under her fathers farm and
described the place infinitely. although
she had never seen 1t.
More than that, the medium de-
scrlbed the exact spot where the well
should be sunk. The evident SINGER
ity of the medium so impressed the
family that boring operations were
commenced Oil has been found. but
the drillers have been handicapped by
flow of salt water that has pres
sure of 400 pounds to the square inch,
and It will be necessary to control
this flow before further progress can
be made.

Detroit and Toledo, and when 1t Is

President Taft's Assurance That There

Is Not Accepted in Colon.

Despite Minister Arosemena's sup
posedly assuring conference with
President Taft, which resulted In the
announcement that the United States
has no intention of attempting to
gobble up the Panama government,
the original story is the source OF
much excitement in Colon, particu-
larly when it is considered in con-
nection with the governments dis
missal OF Councilman Carrillo for the
utterance Of anti-AmeTican feeling at
public meetings.
Americans on the Isthmus realize
that the successful administration OF
the Panama canal can never be under
taken unless Washington has absolute
control of the entire situation on the
lsthmus. which amouts to nothing less
than the annexation of the territory
Close observers during the last
three years have known of continual
conflicts between United States Of
ficials and the officers of the Panama
government. These clashes are of
daily occurrence. particularly among
the petty officials of both govern
ments. Intelligent Panamans recog

anna completely gobbled up by the
Washington government than exist

GRAND TRUNK IS
BLAMED FOR WRECK
DISASTER AT DuRAND COST
LIVES OF TEN PASSENGERS.
RESULT OF STATES INQUIRY
Officers Must Have Known That the
Conductor and Brakeman Of the
Inflated Train Were Unfit to
Handle Passenger Train.

Lansing.-The state railroad COM
mission issued its findings as a result
of the investigation of the Grand
Trunk wreck at Durand last August,
in which ten persons lost their lives.
Relative 20 the officials of the road,
who were in charge of the train SER
vice, the commission is unanimously
of the opinion that they are pri-
marily responsible for this wreck"
1t is stated that the officials must
have known that Conductor w. Ii.
Lacey and Brakeman George Graham
OF the Inflated train were incompe-
tent and unfit to handle passenger
trains. Acting superintendent John
Ehrke and Trainmaster Akers are
mentioned by name as having disre-
garded the orders of the commission
them to cease operating trains with
inefficient men.
The commission states that Conduc-
tor Lacey and Brakeman Graham did
not properly protect their train and
declares that Engineer Spencer was in
no way to blame for the disaster.
AS a result of the wreck the COM
mission states that it is taking up
with the railroads of the state the
matter of establishing block systems
on their main lines. The officials of
Shiawassee county are urged to begin
action TO determine the responsibility
for the wreck, and it is recommended
that action be taken against Conduc-
tor Lacey and Brakeman Graham for
their statements under oath relative
to the wreck.
The statements of Lacey and Ora
ham made in and out of court are SO
conflicting that very little credit
should be given them" says the deci-
sion. I'm fact. the sworn statements
that Graham was about three-quarters
of mile from train No. II when train
No. passed him are so much at vari-
ance with the unmistakable facts as
to brand such statements as false.
in the opinion of the commission,
the facts surrounding this disaster
demand a most vigorous investigation
on the part of the prosecuting officers
of Shiawassee county to determine
whether or not any of the persons
whose neglect of duty contributed to
the cause of the wreck are guilty of
criminal negligence"
