discussed. The American Bank
ers' Association protested vigor-
ously against the passage Of
the postal savings bank law.
When pressure was brought to
bear which made it likely that
the postal bank bill would be
forced out of the committee,
many statements were made by
responsible bankers, heads of
big institutions, that a serious
damage would be done to the eX-
listing banks, and especially to
the savings banks Of the country,
by such an innovation as postal
banking facilities. The argu-
ment that postal banks would
stimulate the idea of saving, and
the number who saved, by MAX
ing the facilities for saving more
available, was met with fiat de-
NAL by the bankers. Neverthe-
less that argument has been pro-
ven conclusively true, and the
position taken by the banks and
bankers in that matter has PROV
en- fundamentally faulty. The
statements that they media on
their regulations as bankers
they would not now care to face,
because those statements would
make them look ridiculous. The
fact that their prerogatives as
bankers might be encroached
upon seems to have prompted OPP
position in both cases.
The public was heartily in fav-
or Of postal banks, and it had its
way. The public is also heartily
in favor of reform in our curren-
CIV system, and it will have its
way.

Good Roads a Business PrOpO.
SitiOn.

On account of the recent rains
and the further fact that road
district No. 6 has been deprived
of about twenty-four hundred
dollars of its road money, the
roads are in deplorable cOndi-
ton and the farmers are left to
get their farm products to the
market in the best way they can,
which at this time is a very dis
couraging proposition.
The road from the lower ferry
to the corporate limits of the
City of Newport, and the levee
at the Island bridge, the Litch-
field bridge, the Murphy bridge,
are all almost impossible, and |
suppose many other places are in
the same condition, but these IN
particular, | have seen and know
whereof | speak. Now, it is not
any new thing for these roads to
get bad in wet weather, but what
are we doing to better the condl-
ton of these roads? Some will
say that we have no money to
make these places any better.
Now this cannot be true, as 1t
has only been about two or three
months since our city and county
authorities decided that road
district No. 6 had about twenty
four hundred dollars that it did
not need and, therefore, decided
| to take this money and make an
experiment on one of our best
streets in the city of Newport,
although the city had on hand
eight or ten thousand dollars.
Just suppose this money had
been used in a business-like way
on these bad places. It would
have made them great deal bet
ter, and would have been a great
accommodation to the farmer in
the way of assisting him to get
his crop to the market. Now,
friends, just stop and think for
lone minute. Suppose that these
places, above mentioned, and a
few other ways of getting into
town should become totally i'm
passable, where would Newport
be? And what would our condi-
ton be? A fine town, with paw
ed streets, fine, large stocks of
Northumberland these goods
bought to keep? No; we bought
them to sell to the farmer, but
the city and county managers
have said by their acts, "The
farmers do not need any roads,
and we will just take the road
money and have a little expert
ment on one of our best streets
in Newport; and if it proves to
be failure it will not make any
difference, as the people will for
get it in short time and then
we will try another experiment;
but we will not spend anything
on the county roads and bridges
as the farmer is used to the mud
and bad roads and no bridges; so
let them continue in the future
as they have in the past; but we
must have good streets whether
we sell any goods or not"
Now, friends, is this right, is
it good business? I think not.
Let us wake up and join hands
with our country friend and all
work together for the up-build-
ing of our town and country, and
in a few years we will find that
we are living in the garden spot
of the land.
I have been hoping. for many
years, that we would all become
boosters for our county some
time, but it does seem that we
take hold of the proposition
mighty timidly. I do hope that
some one will take hold of this

BACK TO NATURE.

A Boston artist by the name Of
Knowles has started new fad that
will not be very extensively follow
ed. He has stripped himself of all
clothing and gone into the Maine
forest to live Just as primitive maa
would live. He took with him no
implement for providing his daily
needs nor weapon to defend himself
against the attacks Of wild animals.
He proposes to come out of the
woods within a few months clothed
in comfortable garb made from the
skins OF animals and other material
he can find in the forest.
On birch bark he writes of his ex-
periences each week with charcoal
and the messages are left at i cache
known only to himself and mes
senger who delivers the message to
the outside world through the
press.
He started fire at his hut by
friction and is Lying upon nuts,
berries and fish. He has succeeded
in trapping bear in a pit which
he killed with a club. He slept the
first night under the trees In the
rain and the first report stated that
he suffered from decorations OF the
flesh OF his limbs by shrubs and
briars, but this discomfort has been
overcome by pair Of leggings he
has made from bark.
The vaudeville stage is possibly
his ultimate destination and II he
succeeds in enduring and overcom
ing the hardships Of the forest and
comes back to civilization clothed
as he claims he will and is In no
worse physical condition than when
he commenced his experiment. he
mist he Ut least credited with start
ing something new aud the nov
things are tAe ones which attract at

Just what he expects to accom-
plish by undergoing these hardships
Is not yet made clear. but 1t is GER
tainly very clever method OF ad-
vertising II that is his purpose.

NEED THE RECALL.

The State Tax Commissioner has
just completed an audit Of the affairs
Of the City Of Charleston and found
one official short $4,000. The
Charleston newspapers have repeat
eddy called public attention to the
fact that the financial statements
which the law directs should be pub
lished annually were not being pub
ffshed and although suspicfan was
pointed at those in charge of the at
fairs Of the city they supinely ignored
the plain mandates of the law and re.
fused to give the tax payers the in
formation that the law directs. This
is Q flagrdnt case whore thc recall
should be in use. Unfortunately
for Charleston that city tid not NAH,
provision for the recall in the charter
and the citizens are powerless to force
the city officials to act, when they
are not inclined to do so.
With a good healthy recall con-
fronting them they would not have
ignored the request of the Charles
ton newspapers to publish the an
nuat financial statement. The peo-
pie of Fairmont may depend upon it
that under the new charter that no
official will openly and brazenly go

law, WHY? Because the people

LABOR DAY.
(Robert G. Iugersoll.)

1t is we'll that organized labor
SHOULD have its own day to review the
past year and plan In advance for the
future. 1t is only thus that even the
toilers themselves can realize the
wide scope that labor takes. the va
rtcty of its interests and the charac-
ter of those who make up its ranks.
Union labor seems to be passing
into new stage OF progress. Its war
o! independence. It's fight for the
idea, for existence. Is drawing to a
close. But as this becomes apparent,
il also more clearly appears that un.
ion labor's chief eoemies are within
itself. This was true Of the Ameri-
can republic and Is apparent in Amer
lea to-day. Having won our freedom
we have to fight our own weaknesses.
This fact ought to be considered
by the public, as we'll as ny UNION
men. The union movement has de-
Veloped evils Just as the whole po-
litical union has. On smaller scale
II is the same fight, the first to make
an efficient democracy.
Comfortable citizens find 1t easy to
scold union men for not discovering
and expelling grafters. for not at
tending meetings. and for not doing
their whole duty. But how about
these same faults in themselves?
What Is needed by us Is a greater
sense OF our responsibilities and
less selfish disposition to shirk our
public duties and our duties to one
another.
The whole tendency throughout
the nation is toward the raising OF
the condition OF labor, the abolition
Of social Injustice. and the reali2u-
ton of a larger democracy.
