Postal Savings for Omaha.

The early extension of postal saw
ings banks to-some of the larger cities,
the first repositories having been con-
fined to the smaller postoffices, is now
romised. This is the information
which has been brought back from
Washington by the postmaster of Chi
cago, with the assurance that Chicago
will have a postal savings bank before
the year is ended. ...- -.--...
When the department reaches cities
of our size Omaha ought to be in the
list, because conditions are nowhere
more favorable for successful estab-
lishment of postal savings than here.
Omaha, South Omaha and suburbs
constitute a community of 10000
people, and except for the savings de-
partments and time certificate busi-
ness of it's national banks has not a
single savings bank institution. In
other words, a postal savings deposit
tory here would supply a place which
is entirely unoecupied at present and
would not cut into the business of ex-
listing banks in any appreciable de-
gree. On the contrary, many people
who lost confidence in savings banks
at the same time that they lost money
in them could probably be induced to
resume deposlting their savings in. no
other way.
We know of no more promising
field in the country for postal savings
| than right here In Omaha.

II lie possible that the house military
committee will take up the question of a

q detailed personnel, of the special staff
corps in connection with the proposed
consolidation OF staff branches to make
a new supply corps and reorganized gem

II has extended TO congress- concerning
the detail system as applied to the staff
corps. now that the higher ranking Off
GERS are being retired, and II becomes
necessary to detail lieutenant colonies and
colonies for duty away from their regi-
ments, With a new supply corps there
are those who are inclined to believe II
would be wise to return to the permanent
personnel. at least among the higher rank
ing officers, leaving the junior grades to
be filled by detail and selecting from such
officers the members OF the permanent
personnel as vacancies occur. II is pointed
out that experience is bound to count
more than ever in the discharge of the
merged duties devolving upon officers of
the new supply corps, and 1t is also sug-
gested that In time Of war with the do
tailed staff personnel there Is apt 70 be a
desire on the part of individuals to return
to- line commands and again leave the
staff without the trained officers who
were supposed to be furnished for that
very emergency by the detail system. The
heads OF the staff corps will this year re-
new their recommendations 10 this effect.
and It may come up in a pertinent way
before the house military committee In
connection with the pending army reor-
ganization legislation.

An unaccountable typographical error
occurred in the paragraph-No. io6O-of the
new edition OF Army Regulations. which
has just appeared from the War depart
ment, respecting the allowance per month
Of wood for each foot of direct radiating
service from September 1 to April 30,
when buildings, except officers and nom
commissioned officers quarters, for which
fuel is furnished by the quartermaster's
department are heated by steam by sep
arate plants" The paragraph as II ap-
peared gave this allowance as one-four-
teenth cord of wood. In the original proof
as Il was approved by the military au-
thorities. the allowance was stated, as II
should be, as 1-14Oth cord OF wood. The
error was obvious on its face to any one
persuing the paragraph. but II is neces-
sary to make the correction from the War
department, and this will be done by means
of a general order.

advocate general and the chief OF staff
Under the various precedents Of record in
the War department an officer thus in
capacitated may either be retired with
three-quarters of his pay or wholly retired
with one years pay. II is urged in be-
half of Major Bickham that he passed his
examination for promotion to the grade OF
major just before he was ordered before
the retiring board. II. is claimed, there
fore, that his qualification for advancement
should make It impossible. under the cir
cumstances, to determine that he is in
capacitated for active service. The case
has attracted much attention because OF
the time taken by the retiring board in
reaching its conclusions.

Animated discussion continues to pre-

proposed consolidation of the quartermas-

supply corps and the formation of the
present bureau, representing those staff

of the War department, under a major
general with two brlgaders as assistants.
Representative Hay, the chairman of the

that the provisions of the bill which he
has introduced 10 that end win be APP
proved by CONGRESS. Those who know
something OF the legislative intent of the
Sixty-second congress say that the OBJ
jections which have been made to the bill
are not likely to carry much weight There
are some minor details of the bill which
may be changed, and the apprehension
on the part OF some Of the members of
the permanent personnel of the existing
staff branches may result in an amend
ment of the plan for the Rmalgamated
list of Officers. As 1t is now, some of the
Junior officers are likely to regard them
selves as adversely affected by the meas
ure, Notwithstanding the provision for
promotion by one grade upon retirement
of any officer who is not advanced to
that extent during his active career after
the consolidation is accomplished. Some
officers are likely to feel that they would
fare better under the present arrange
ment and one suggestion is that the list
of permanent officers in the three corps
remain as separate bodies for the purpose

SCHOOL KEEPS IN

ARE THAT THE AT
TENDANCE WILL BE VERY
GOOD.
Superintendent Graham is .Optms-
tic Over the Outlook for the Coming
Sesslon-City Schools Will Open
at Later Date.

School kept in most of the country
schools Of Maury county this morn
ing. Pursuant to the orders OF the
County Board of Education the white
schools OF the county, with a few ex-
ceptions, opened at $50 o'clock to-
day.
The schools in the cities OF Coium-
bia, Mt. Pleasant, and Spring Hill,
Theta, Culleoka, Mcdowell and two
or three other places will not open
until d later date, but the vast ma
jority of tie country institutions COM
menced the term this morning.
Practically all of today was taken
up in grading the schools, in assign
ing the pupils to classes and in max
ing out the list of books and studies
that the pupils will take for the term.
1t will be a day or two before the
schools are running on schedule time.
The schools of the county have
commenced most auspiciously. 1t is
the purpose of the county board of
education to make the terms uniform
this year, that is every school in the
county without regard to the funds
of the district will be run for eight
months.
While it has been impossible to as
certain from the various schools an
accurate statement of the attendance
today from reports that have been re-
ceived it is safe to say that the at
tendance is very gratifying. From
many sections come the reports that
there were more pupils present than
on the opening day of last year.
County Superintendent Graham is
very optimistic over the outlook and
believes that the coming term vii! be
one of the best in the history of the
public school system of the county
