Postal and Other Savings.

The postal savings system is sue
ceeding SO greatly beyond expectation,
that Postmaster General Hitchcock
has decided to rapidly extend the plan
to all the great post offices in the
country. There are, altogether, 426
large city post offices in the first class,
and it is the purpose to have them all
designated as postal savings deposit
With few exceptions. post offices of
the second class, of which there are
about 1900, already have been desig-
mated. and very shortly the designa-
ton of the third class offices will be-
gin. The deposits in New York and
Chicago, st. Louis and Boston, for the
first five days of operation, amounted
to $4,000 At the same rate, the an
nual deposits of the four cities would
amount to about $7,000000
When the Post Office Department
shall have completed it's chain of the
first, second and third classes of post
Offices. we hope it will be possible for
women and children to save as many
dollars in the postal banks as do the
shiftless, characterless men who waste
their energies. their minds, bodies and
souls, spend for intoxicants We hone
that some day, when every post office
in this country is a depository for the
mites of the Woodworking people. that
the United States will consider the
mighty advance in civilized progress
of dissolving partnership with the
men who make and sell intoxicants.
When the United States removes
federal support of those who violate all
laws and degenerate all morals, then
we shall have done something as vast
ly superior to the establishment of
postal savings banks as is the pres
ent civilization of the United States
superior to that of the Cannibal Is
lands.
But let the good work go on, Let
the Tatts promote the peace of the
world, and the Hitchcocks establish
thousands of federal banks in every
corner of the country Let the Roose-
velts preach of the sin of race sui
eide; but some day they, and other
great men. will awaken to the fact
that they are engaged in the rum bus
mess. and that they are deriving an
indirect revenue for traffic in the
brains and souls of men. Some day
these great men and others will real
lie that the time has come when this
great evil must be overthrown-this
evil which is greater than all the wars
which Taft opposes and all the race
suicide of which Roosevelt breaches.

statement and elevation of tone his
message viii rank high among state

effect. Mr. Taft is under no illusion as
to what the people of Arizona may do

mission without the judicial recall in
their constitution, and afterwards in

that case the federal government could
do nothing, since it is not contended
by any that the recall of judges il in

Here where chimney corner was
ANA siadness fingered long ago
me morning dew spreads shreds of
gauze, u
And noxious weeds unhindered grow.
The walls that once kept out the storm
Are crumbling into useless dust.
Yet here maiden may have heard
The eagerly expected word
And gladly promised all her trust.
Here, where the warped and crumblipg
beams
OF all their burdens are relieved
man may once have had fair dreams
OF victories to be achieved;
And here a woman may have sat
And listened in the lonely night
For tardy footsteps at the door
Or watched for faces that no more
Might fill her sad soul with delight
Tread softly here. nor speak in jest;
The walls are crumbling in decay;
The timid field mouse makes its nest
Where once perhaps baby lay;
Here once a chimney corner was,
heart may once have broken there
And yonder where the beams are piled
Ii may be that q little child
Learned how to say its first sweet
prayer.
