Naturally q man attired in the most

a surprise to the country at large to

was conducting very extensive bust
ness. He was shipping his ill-gotten
pullets to Chicago, where the poultry
trust is supposed to live, move, and
have its being. His profits must have
been large, or else he could not have
afforded to keep up the necessary front.
He has been sentenced to an indeter-
inmate term in the penitentiary, where
he may stay anywhere from one to
eight years, and La Porte is shocked to
it's very social center. It seems pecu-
liarly ungrateful that man should
come around and eat chicken salad
with agreeable hostesses and then slip
out to the hennery and carry of the
remainder of the chickens, and La
Porte is saying so in language which

A LESSON WORTHY OF CON.
SIDERAIION.

Last week, for the first time since
the early weeks Of 1908, the associated
banks of New York reported reserves
considerably less than the rs per cent
of deposits, which the law requires Of
national banks.
That might have been made occasion
for some agitation and worry In the
business world. But it was not. II
has been commented on casually, as
an interesting incident.
Bank reserves, of course, are there to
be used. To shut . bank when re.
serves get below Is per cent is an
impossible procedure. The reserves
should be used when they are needed
the very law that requires them to be
maintained wants them maintained &c
that they can be used in exigencies.
1t is interesting to see financial quar-.
ters view reserve deficit without q
tremor or a. suggestion of worry. A
few years ago would not have been
possible, especially at time when big
politics impended.
The explanation is simple. It lies
in the emergency currency act passed
nearly four years ago. The financial
world knows that there is provision for
such elasticity, such resilency, in the
currency supply, that there need be nc
such terror as was inspired by gold
shipments or active demand for money
in the old days of utter rigidity.
This is practical, useful result from
tho emergency currency act. Not a
dollar has been issued under that act
as yet, but the fact that it is the law,
that issues are possible, gives every
body confidence.
And therein lies the great, determi-
native argument in favor of a perma-
nent currency reform project.
The emergency measure will expire
by Limitation before long. If some
thing permanent II to be put in its
place it must be done soon.

SUCCESS OF THE POSTAL saw.
INGS BANK SYSTEM.

Within about month the posta
savings bank system will have rounded
out the frsr year of it's operation. The
first Offices to receive deposits wer,
opened last J,n'lrIy 3, and while il
seemed TO many that the system was
creeping at first and there was criti
cism because it was not being organized
L,ole rapidly, as a matter of fact il
has been growing by leaps and bounds
By the close of the year there will
be 5,ls5 Offices icce,ving postal de.
posits, with sixty-two stations in ad.
dition. Other offices will be desig.
mated rapl lily. At the outset the sys-
tenn was extremely Glow in getting
under headway. About four months
elapsed bstweeE the d.e,gnation of the
first group of Offices and the second
group, and this led t. much talk that
the designations were being held back
in order to favor the banks. When the
;Postoffice department., however, began
to be reasonsoly sure of itself it began
designating offices rapidly, and there
seems now no sound reason for criti
cism.
While it Ill take longer than one
year to understand fully how the sys
tenn is going to work, it is admitted
even in banking circ.ts that it is start
ing off well. In its recent monthly cir.
cular the National CITY Bank of New
York said 1t was ALREADY clear that the
system is meeting some of the pur,
poses for which it wss established.
One of the res tits tns postal savings
system already is beginning to accom-
pllsh is the keeping OF much money in
this country which was formerly sent
abroad. It IS estimated by officers OF
the postal savings system that upward
of $4,000, 200 has bcer received in de
posits in tue course OF the year, and
much of this is known to come from
foreign born doposit1Is.
In addition, The sy stem is operating
to bring into circulation cash that here
tofore had been hoarGt6 by men anc
women who were afraid to trust theil
savings to local banking institutions
It has proven highly popular in many
of the rural comr.un,tIes, and on the
whole it is being received with many
marks of popular 1d,or. Considering
the slowness of its beginnings, the sue
cess of the system the first year of its
operation must "e accounted remark

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Please give space for this letter in the
Mail Bag for the information of some
OF your correspondents who have COM
mented on some one of my several
letters apart from the others.
I am sending q succession of letters
under the above caption to the Mail
Bag for the purpose of showing that our
present social system does not con-
form to the present stage of Caucasian
evolution; that our race thereby fails
to enjoy the full amount of happiness
that proper conformity would give II.
and for the purpose of appealing to the
re igious element in our race in behalf
OF our race.
The main reason why we do not con-
form our present social system to our
present evolutional stage is that we
have not received proper instruction in
proper morality; that certain precepts OF
so-called morality are demoraiizing in
their influence. and that these precepts
have been impeached by the very
progress that the race has made in spite
OF and in opposition to them. 1t was
because of this that the American
Revolution and our civil war were cited
as examples. The precepts or injunc-
tions are such as those on the one
hand. for us to respect rulers and, on
the other hand. for US to preach the
Gospel to every creature.
In the letters to come the ideal indi-
yidual and his environment will be set
forth, as will also be shown the help
fulness Of a fitting creed.

THE LATEST RAFPLES ROBS
THE HENNERIES.

An interesting light on the high cost
of living has been diffused by the ar
rest of the Beau Brummel of La Porte,
Ind. The facts in the case seem to
show that although he was the very
Petronius of the community, 'sartorially
perfect in all his appointments, he was
leading double life. After the glamour
and the glory of an evenings enter
tainment, in which his wit and ele.
gance shone supreme, he would go out
into the night and commit robberies.

laration of former State chairman,
who says after careful investigation of
conditions all over the State he credits
Roosevelt with 80 per cent of the Re-
publican support.
There seems to be nothing for the
Ohio Republicans to do in such situ-
alton except to have q Statewide
primary. If President Taft in fact can
not possibly carry his home State in the
election, and if its delegation cannot
be secured for him in fair expression
of the Republican voters, the truth
ought to be known. The Republican
party needs to know the truth. It il
the duty of the President, under the
circumstances, to acquiesce earnestly in
the primary proposal.
If Ohio, in a primary, should declare
against Taft and for Roosevelt, II
would mean that Roosevelt would be
commandeered into the leadership oi
his party next year. He could not re.
fuse, and he would not.

MRS. SKINNER ON UPLIFT OF
THE DRAMA.

If Mrs. Otis Skinner is correctly
quoted in her recent talk before the
Civic Club on the uplift of the drama,
the exuberance of youthful spirit and
joy and sentimentality is responsible
for the rather frivolous nature of most
of the shows of present times.
What more is to be expected, to take
Mrs. SINNERS point of view, when the
standard of plays is fixed by those
giddy young folks, chiefly feminine, be,
tween cradle age and the twilight Of
life, who think of nothing but billing
and cooling, sentiment and kisses, beal
hugs and happy y-ever-afterward ex'
istence?
Under the circumstances older folks
simply have to take the stage as il
is. 1t is the "love play" or nothing.
Very true, perhaps, but the argu
ment is illogical because it rests on a
wrong premise. 1t is assumed, and
wrongly, that the "love play" is a sort
of drag that prevents the uplift of the
stage.
Nothing of the kind.
As long as human nature remains
what it is, and even as it becomes
more intelligent, the so-called Glove
play" dealing with the truest in,
stincts, will continue.
The uplift of the drama is not to
come about by any tea-and- toast pro,
ductions, for love, love, love, in all its
varying moods, will ever be it's theme
