SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS.
philadelphia Record,)

The savings bank figures OF the
Comptroller Of the Currency are i'm
presslve in their aggregate: they are
less fattering to national thrift and
prosperity when analysed than is cas-.
lily assumed from n casual glance at
their totals. On the other hand, the
Comptroller's figures relate only to the
institutions that bear the name Of saw
ings banks, while there are several
other classes Of institutions that do
the same sort OF BUSINESS and the
savings Of the people are far greater
than the, deposits reported by the saw
ings banks alone. ~.
The Comptroller reports M increase
In the past fitiscal year OF 81 900 In
the number Of depositors, and aggre-
gate deposits Of something over ST..
000,O0.0O0, an increase of rather more
than s300,O00,000 during the year.
The average deposit per capita In.
creased during the year from s42O'to
s445. but. 8 per cent. interest on the
sum due depositors year ago would
account for half Of this gain; the small
remainder is the excess Of deposits
over Withdrawals. Roughly speaking,
the depositors gain about 3 per cent. a
year by interest and 8 per cent. by de.
posits in excess Of the sum taken out.
In 10 years the number Of depositors
has increased about so per cent, aud
the average deposit has increased but
little more than 10 per cent, or ! per
cent a year, III t5.5 y =.

CLOSE SYMPATHY NEEDED.

When woman and an artist like
Ella Finley suddenly drops by the
wayside, starving in the center OF a
great city, where she had been daily
josticd by those who might, through
close sympathy have saved her, there
Is a sudden and new appreciation Of
the loneliness of city life and the alb
sence Of patient care and love for
those near.
She was not without this through
all the eighteen years In which she
struggled. Many aided. advised,
helped and extended direct and mate
rial assistance, but there lacked any
one person with the. patience, the sym
patfy, the love and the unquenched
desire to support fellow mortal, who
would never let so Of one who was de-
liberately setting aside all the usual
guides OF action and working for moth
Ing, in pursuit Of an Ideal when she
might have worked for good wages as
a dressmaker.
Not only cities, but families, homes,
houses, shops, Offices, each and all
have those cherlshing some ideal Of
whom this Is true. they stumble on
alone. They fall by the wayside,
sometimes to arise bruised and some
times to perish, because too little
among men and women is the daily
need felt Of constant, continuous. i'm.
mediate. persevering sympathy which
suffers allthInGs and loves even those
who sin against every dictate Of COM
mon sense. ia Is.

To the Editor: Seldom has a cause

the American people we're compelled
to run rough shod over the San Fran
cisco interests in order to build the
canal, but now that the enterprise has
been assured that city complacently
climbs into the band wagon and In.
sists upon being the. whole thing.
Further away from the Panama
Canal than New York is from Paris,
she wants to be permitted to celebrate
the completion OF a canal to reach

ocean voyage OF twenty.one days
or an overland trip to New Orleans
and four days voyage from this

TWO MORE DEMOCRATS.

The death Of stephcn- B. Elkins in.
sures two Democratic senator's from
West Virginia.
1t Is a question as to who these
senators shall be. i,
1t looks as II Clarence ". Watson
and William Chiffon will be the for.
tunate ones In the contest that has
four aspirants for the vacancies.
There has been a story going the
rounds that will not down that when
Watson and a number OF New York
capitalists were supposed to be In.
specting the Kentucky coal fields re-.
Gently that Chiffon met Watson in
the coal baron's private car in Gin.
cinnati and there deal was framed
up that Watson was to have Senator
Nathan Bay SCOTS place In the Sen
ate In the event that the State went
Democratic. 1t was with this In view
that Watson is said to have financed
the campaign that resulted In Demo.
cratic success at the November cleo
ton. +
Since the passing OF Elkins new
situation has come to pass and in this
Chiffon has been favored and will
likely realize the political ambition
Of his life. .#'l
The Chiffon forces wifi stand with
Watson and Watson will stand with
Chiffon. Their united strength is
likely to be more than John T. Nc.
Graw, the real leader Of the party, can
rally to his support. m
McGraw's chances to be United
States senator from this State, which
were bright and seemed to be in the
ascendency as long as there was one
vacancy to fill, has begun to wane. 1t
is easier for two men to capture two
positions than It is for one man to cap.
ture two positions. ~
Watson and Chiffon can now use
different tactics in their campaign
and McGraw will be forced to carry
on a divided campaign that weakens
his chances very materially.

Z WASHINGTON Post.) N

Congress might probably take cog.
nlzance Of the operations OF the. or.
ganlzed band of.lack Handlers which
have recently been brought to light by
the New York police. VI The incident
forclbly illustrates anew the made.
quacy OF the immigration laws in
grasping with the serious problem Of
criminal aliens. While the laws were
framed with the view Of excluding per-
sons who have been convicted OF or
who admit having committed crime
involving moral turpitude, consider.
able number who have served time
abroad, or who have filed to America
to escape arrest for crime, or who are
regarded at home as probable crimi-
nails. succeed in passing Ellis Island
inspectors.
The fundamental defects in the law
have been called to the attention OF
Congress with a strong recommenda.
ton for emedlal;legislation. The pres.
ent law contains no adequate provision
for ferreting out the criminal aliens
by means Of looking up their records
In other countries. Worse still THE
method Of inspection at our ports as
provided by the law, is admittedly a
failure with respect to the detection
Of immigrants OF the criminal class.
The score of Italians concerned In the
New York conspiracy might have been
excluded, It seems, had the inspection
force taken advantage of an Italian
law which requires that natives OF that
country shall have passports testifying
to their moral character. The en-.
forcement OF this law on this side
would result in the detection OF Ital.
ian criminals who, being unable to Sc.
cure passports, go to the ports Of
other countries and.sail thence.

WHERE BEAUTY LIES.

IT'S not the star, It's otthe sun,
TITS not the flower that glows;
'Tis not the objects that we see
Nor that the spirit knows.
One soul beholds and one does not
The spot Where beauty lies
Is not In beauty's form Itself &
But in the seeing eyes.
IT'S not the sea. It's not the song,
TITS not the choric spheres
That murmur to us all day long 4
The music's In the ears.
And some may list 10 finest sound &
Where others hear no word
The sweetest songs are ever lost Z.
Unless the heart has heard.
IT'S not the thunder Of the storm. I
The roaring OF the gale.
The balmy sephyr, soft and Warm,
2 NThat kisses down the vale. q
The ecstacy such moments bring
Is lost on all about ~ iyi.5
Who feel not In the soul, like spring
The golden voices shout. '7iE
To some the blossom and the light
Alone give beauty gulse;
To some the cIod. the ytewiess night
Gain beauty from their eyes. r.
AS eyes give forth they do receive,
And stars were but cold clay &
Did not We look on them through low
