The Gazette believes in clean politics
and an honest enforcement of the laws
of the city and the commonwealth.
The Gazette will endeavor to extend
its Influence in its natural territory
which included the Eighth congress
sional district OF Virginia. 1t is the
only daily newspaper published IN this
important district of over one hundred
thousand people. As fast as possible
local correspondents will be secured ID
the various communities and the paper
will endeavor by telephone, telegraph
and mail to faithfully and accurately
chronicle the news OF this territory.
Above all the policy of the Gazette
will be one OF optimism. We believe

the world in growing better, not worse;
that the inherent qualities Of man are
inclined to do what is best; that the
good in life overshadows the bad; that
the beautiful outweighs the ugly and
the sordid and that love instead Of
bate is the dominating note OF today.
At the same time, we realize that we

CALL For MONEY.

Captain S. R. Donohoe. auditor OF
public accounts, recently sent letter to
all county treasurers in Virginia IN
structing them to send in to the State
treasury the money they had on hand,
which action was regarded in some
quarters as evidence that the finances OF
the State are in poor condition.
Captain Donohoe OH Thursday stated
that the call for money had no slgni-
Acance. He stated that tie laws requires
county treasnrers to send in their money
by June 10Th, but he had instructed the
county treasurers to send iC all the
money they had on hand by May /,
simply in accordance with the business
principles by which he is directing the
auditors office.
The policy Of sending in the money
before the date set by law vas inaugu-
rated year ago. said Captain Don
oboe and has no bearing on the Hnan-
cial condition of Virginia.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK

THE establishment OF the postal saw
ings bank at the Alexandria postoffice
this morning brings close to home the
fact that this great economic measure
which has grown to such tremendous
proportions throughout the civilized
world, is now firmly established in this
country.
For more than decade legislation
favoring this movement was discussed
and such vigorous sentiment created
that the two great political parties in
their platforms declared for postal
banks. For a long time the bank
ing institutions throughout the coun-
try, especially those affiliated with Wall
street, opposed the movement but the
combined efforts OF the farmers organ
izations and the labor unions forced the
matter to an issue and in 1910 the bill
creating the postal savings act was
passed by Congress and signed by Presi-
dent Taft. On January 1st, few Of
fees were designated to receive deposits
and have proved the feasibility Of the
system.
While the bill in its present form is
imperfect and has some Objectionable
features which may prove serious de-
fects in time the principle has at last
been put into effect.
The system Of savings banks encour-
ages thrift upon the part of the people
and promotes the disposition to save
money 1t brings out in small amounts
yet aggregating an enormous sum,
much money which would never be
placed on deposit in the various bank
ing institutions. There is no more
basic fact connected with our industrial
progress and our commercial success
than the keeping of the money Of the
country in channels of circulation
ready for investment in every enter
prise that will make for material and
commercial growth.
In times OF financial distress and
panic when money is withdrawn from
the banks and therefore withdrawn
from circulation, the money deposited
with the United States government will
not be taken out but will remain there
on account OF the absolute confidence
which would exist upon the part of de-
poSitors.
Alexandra is to be congratulated
upon being the first city in Virginia to
be selected as postal depositary.

ordinary headache remedy that he has
determined to institute an investigation

Many cases in which death has fol

said DR.. Wiley, have been brought to
his attention OF late.
Headache powers, said Doctor Wiley,
usually contain large quantities OF ace

caffeine, all Of which affect the heart
more or less.
The powders, according to Doctor
Wiley, contain a larger proportion Of
these drugs than any physician would

A man is better known by his en-
ployees who have worked with him for

my opinion the above paragraph speaks
volumes for Hubert Snowden, who 1t
was nv good fortune to work for as an
apprentice in 1882. Since that time
we have differed, honestly differed, OF
great many things for the best policy
to pursue for the benefit OF all the peo-
pie OF Alexandria land that same warm
friendship between us has always eN-
sted), but in my opinion no more
honest, conscientious gentleman lives
within the bounds of Alexandria or
the state OF Virginia. To be charitable,
to be kind, to be courteous is charac.
teristic Of the old Snowden family, and
have no doubt but it was these kindly
virtues that was the inspiration that
caused the presenting OF each employee
with the piece OF gold.
Hubert Snowden is an overworked
man. and he deserves the rest that he
is now about to enjoy, and 1t Is the
wish Of his friends, that he may live a
great many more years to enjoy life,
and it is the hope of the writer Of these
few lines that he will now be able to
get out more often among the younger
men Of this community, touch elbows,
so to speak, as their meetings for the
uplift of Alexandria, and | have no
doubt with his valuable experience and
advice, coming into contact with them
more often than he could possible do
10 the past owing to his exactlng duties
as an editor, which kept him confined
great deal and away from such move
ments, will be Of great service to his
old city and its interest. Some men
have misunderstood him, and he has
at times been at fault and in misunder-
standing their aims and motives, but
those who know him best are his
neighbors of the lower First Ward, and
| have the first man in Alexandria yet
to say that they believe he was lnsln-
cere, on any matter that he was Tor or
