HAVE PROVED SUCCESS
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS FIND
FAVOR WITH PEOPLE.
Voters viii Give Credit to Wisdom Of
Statesmen Of the Republican Par
ty Who Originated These
Useful Institutions.

The postal savings banks have now
been in operation and virtually on
trial for year. The first government
report of their business proves them
to be q success. In the 5,1S5 post
offices where they have been estab-
lshed total OF about sl4,000,000 has
been deposited.
Compared with the deposits OF some
of the larger banks and those OF the
British postal banks, this sum seems
almost insignificant. But 1t must be
borne in mind that the institution is a
new one in this country. The expert
ence of the first year makes It reason
ably certain that as the number OF
postofce banks is increased and that
part of the public which they are spe-
cially intended to benefit becomes
better acquainted with them. their
usefulness will grow rapidly.
The postal banks have had an un-
expected effect in keeping the savings
OF foreign-born residents in the coun-
try. Many OF these people, through
distrust of banking Institutions. had
been sending their savings to Europe.
Now a considerable number of them
are already placing their money in
the care OF Uncle Sam. In the United
States government they have the
most implicit confidence. 1t is esti-
mated that the deposits from this
source already amount to at least
s11 100000. That this sum will in
crease constantly and rapidly as for
eign.born Americans learn more
about the postal banks is certain.
Furthermore. the expected effect OF
drawing money out Of places OF con-
cealment has been realized. In the
west this is particularly true. An Ore
gon farmer brought 100000 to the
postal bank in Portland and tried to
deposit 1t. He had kept 1t hidden. or
course. the limit of 500 month i'm
posed for postal deposits operated
against him. but after much expiana-
ton he was induced to put his money
In one OF the national banks.
II is probably conservative esti-
mate that when the postal bank sys-
TEN is fully developed and familiar
to all the people total OF at least
$500. 100000 will be kept on deposit

The ideas of Richard Croker do not

PARTY MUST GET TOGETHER
Republican Success Can Only Be Won
by answering Loyalty to His
toric Principles.

Mr.. Bryan, at a meeting OF the
Democratic national committee, ex'
erted himself to efface from the polit-
cal map one of his many dearest
foes in his own party. and even went
to the length of emitting what sound
ed like the threat Of bolt.
The committee, by vote OF % to
13. informed Mr.. Bryan that he is
Just member of the Democratic par
ty and not Its dictator. And under the
Influences OF the political situation
Mr.. Bryan accepted the rebuke cheer
fully! No voice at the subsequent
public festivities was more mellitiuous
for harmony than Mr. Bryan's.
There are. of course. personal con-
troversies and conflicts OF principles
within the Democracy which will not
be ended until the national conven-
tion, nor even then. But 1t Is also evi-
dent that the factional leaders feel as
they have not for years the soothing
Influences of the prospect OF success
and power and OF their honors and
material rewards.
There is little prospect that Demo-
cratic dissensions will be solid Re
publican asset this year. The Demo
Gratis may. and probably Will, continue
to quarrel furiously up to certain
point. But they will none the less,
and perhaps even more, vote the tick
ct straight in the election.
Republicans may lay to that. And
1t behooves every Republican to take
the warning to heart and understand
that Republican success can be won
only by loyalty to those historic Re-
publican principles which have so
often successfully appealed to the
abiding common sense of the people.
