Postal savings banks are being installed gradually all over the country and the amount al. ready deposited is very large. In many places there has been con- siderable rivaly to see who would be the first depositor.
 Following will be found some of the rules conceI ming the start ing of accounts:
 Accounts may be opened and deposits made by any person of the age of 10 years or over in his or her name and by a married woman, in her own name and free from any interference or control by her husband. No per son can have more than one ac- count at any one time.

The Opposition is Using that Only as a Weapon 10 0vertun the
 Government

OTTAWA, Sept. 1S.-The general elections of Canada, which will be held next Thursday, September 21, are expected to be decisive Of Cana da's attitude toward reciprocity be- tween that country and the United States, and on the continuance in power of the liberal party under the leadership of Sir William Laurier. The American congress has already ratified the reciprocity agreement, and after a protracted deadlock in the Canadian parliament the question of Canada's ratification was at last re Ierred to the judgment Of the people
 The elections occur simultaneously in all of the ten provinces which make up the Dominion of Canada. As originally constituted the dominion was composed Of Upper Canada, in cluGing the ex9snsive English sec tions of Ontario: Lower Canada ,in- cluding the extensive French sections of Quebec.

TEXAS RAILROAD
 ID BE IMPROVED
An Appropriation of S50,000,- eco for International and
 Great Northern

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Sept. 1S-The International and Great Northern rail road stretching from Longview in the northern part of Texas to Laredo on the Rio Grande river, a distance of almost 500 miles, is making arrange ments for improvement both in track age and rolling stock. To meet this expense a bond issue of S50,000,000 has been ordered by the management
 This enormous sum will be expended in bettering the physical conditions of the line in every particular and every dollar of 1t will be spent in Tex as. This gives some notion of what keen fnanciers think of the possibili- ties in the southwest. When the i'm provements contemplated are made, the schedule will be quickened and St. Louis and the City of Mexico will be several hours nearer one to the other than they have been in the past.

This gives the present Laurier gov ernment a normal majority of 43 out of a total membership of 21l. To de feat the government the conservative opposition must make a gain Of 9 seats. while to carry on the govern ment and organize the house they must make gains of at least 25.
 Issues and Leaders
 Sir WilfTid Laurier, now 70 years of age, has been premier Of the do minion for over fifteen years. since June. 1896, when his party, the hb- erals, defeated the conservatives un- der Sir Charles Tupper, Bart, known o Canadian politics as the old wal horse of Cumberland, from the name .of his first constituency, in his native province of Nova Scotia. Sir Wilfrid IS a French-Canadian and his own province, Quebec, with it's oveTwhelm- ing French population, has alwayu given him strong support
 Sir Wiifrid has toured five of the nine Canadian provinces during the campaign, and everywhere he has maintained that the reciprocity agree ment was a purely business transac- ton, and that the loyalty of Canada was not to be traacked for any trade advantages.
 The conservative opposition has been under the leadership of Robert Laird Borden of Halifax, who first challenged the reciprocity pact be- fore the Canadian parliament and af- rewards carried the contest before the people. The grounds for this op- position are two fold. On the one hand the conservatives are high pro tectiOnists and they contend that the present agreement is but an entering wedge, while on the other hand they contend that trade under such a pact would create a community of interest between the United States and Can ada which could not but weaken the British connection and would event sally bring about the annexation Of Canada to the United States.
 During the campaign on the stump and in the newspapers, the utter ances of President Taft that Can ada is at the parting of the ways and that the tie binding Canada to the empire was SO slight as to be almost imperceptible, have been used to prove that the United States has ul- terior designs On her Canadian neigh Dor, while thei annexiOnist senti- ments attributed to some American public men and newspapers have aroused the cry that reciprocity is the forerunner of annexation
