The experience is yet too short to
permit a definite opinion as to whether
the experimental postal savings bank
will accomplish it's purpose. Reports
indicate, however, that the people have

new service evidence accumulates that
the bank is justifying the labor ana ex-

AS people in this section OF the coun-
try remember, the bank at Ashtabula
opened under auspices that seemed to
promise a high degree of usefulness
Depositors in considerable numbers
were ready to patronize 1t-wh1ch IS

An incident reported from the postal
bank at Dubois. Pa, indicates that the
public has full confidence, without
which the bank wuold lose ITS chlef
usefulness. One man entered the post
office with 81, 700 in currency which he
had been boarding and which he de-
sired to place in the safekeeping OF the
federal government He had been afraid
to deposit the money in bank, and
was anxious to leave it in the govern
ment's hands at half the interest he
could have got elsewhere. or course,
he could deposit only part or ms

MUNICIPAL MUSIC.

Socialism has been popular in Milwau-
kee for some years, and various expert
ments have been tried from time to
time in the hope of working out some
Of the pet theories of benevolent frater-
nalism, entertained by those who be-
lieve that 1t is the function of the gov
eminent to supervise practically every
thing the individual does. One of the
propositions advanced by the Milwau-
kee social reconstructors was to give
the people free music of good quality
So every Sunday afternoon for some
time past high class orchestras have
been giving concerts which the people
were invited to attend virtually without
cost, the admission being only 10 cents
Even at this low rate so few of the
people of Milwaukee proved to be music
lovers that the concerts have cost the
city about $3.50 apiece in deficit of re-
ceipts. Now the question is whether
Milwaukee can stand for an investment
in the musical education of the public.
Is it worth while to spend money at
the rate of $3.50 week in the hope of
evolving a popular taste in Wagner,
Bach, Handel, Listz, Grieg and the 9TH
er masters of melody and harmony:
Perhaps the concerts would be more
generally attended if concessions were
made to the present state of public mus
ical taste and to the popular desire for
the inclusion in the programs of light
er forms of composition. Municipal So
cialiSm must make some allowances for
the artistic as we'll as the political in

British public opinion has always op-
posed the arming of the police of large
cities, and up to the present time the
great army of London boobies has had
no other weapon than the ordinary club
or billie with which to subdue eVildoers.
English ruffianS and criminals have
heretofore seldom used firearms, and
for that reason it was not believed that
the police needed the protection which
the policemen of other countries found
essential.
The recent killing Of several London
policemen by armed robbers and the
murderous resistance made by couple
of anarchists barricaded in a house
have greatly Jared English public opin-
ion, and there is now a pretty general
demand that the authorities provide the
London police with suitable revolVers
for use when necessary. The police of
all American cities are armed with
pistols. as a matter of course, and on
the continent of Europe the city police
are invariably armed with pistols and
the rural police with carbines. The Ger
man policemen have not only the reVol-
YER but the Saber as well.
With the growth of anarchy and the
greater number of the rough classes in
the great cities of the present day an
armed police is a necessity. The ruffian
and lawbreaker is habitually armed
with the very best weapons, hence to
Dit against them unarmed policemen

osteopathY. What is II?

am anxious that every one
should know what Osteopathy
really is and what it does. 1t is
a system of treatment by mechan-
zeal manipulations, but is not re-
stricted to this entirely since the
osteopath when he begins to
treat you never stops until he has
located the cause of your trou-
bles and then he removes the
cause in the most common sense
way that it can be done and leads
the patient back to health and
strength often by reversing the
route that has led into trouble.
This seems alright for chronic
troubles. Anyone will assent aud
tits true 0steopathy has won its
present great favor and lasting
popularity mostly on chronic dis
eases, curing after all other meth
DDS had failed, but where it
passes understanding and has no
peer at all is i'm the way ii handles
acute troubles like pneumonia,
acute Indigestion, rheumatic
fever or appendicitis. The grave
Yards are not full of its failures.
It's patrons soon walk in the glow
of health. The Osteopath does
not guess what your trouble is,
neither does he guess what a suit
able remedy would be and expert
ment on you with dangerous rem
edies that would make a well man
sick To the Osteopath's mind
educated as he is to remove the
cause and assist nature to do any
thing to sick man and expect it
to help him that would make a
well man sick seems incompatible
with common sense yet the dOmi-
nant therapeutic practice of to-
day is built on this sand foun-
dation.

and who do not enjoy that meas

ture intended, that you look into
