Postal Savings.

The utility of the postal saving system
as means of encouraging thrift is
SHOWN by the fact that during the last
hscal year the number of depositors in
trusting their money to Uncle Sam had
increased from 2i3,S01 to 33l, ,O06. while
The deposits had increased from $40 o37
Gsf 10 Ss3sls.s70 Thus the average de-
post has increased from $50 to s1O2. in
otcaung that in considerable number
OF cases the depositors have continued
their use of the postal savings system
and persisted i'll making systematic de-
posts. while a large number of new
patrons Of this system have appreciated
its advantages. 1t is impossible yet to
determine to what extent the use of the
postal savings banks has taken from
the commercial banks. but it is a fair
assumption that the effect felt by the
latter is not considerable for in all
Likelihood large percentage of the
money deposited with the post office
comes from the stockings and other
home repositories. The savings habit,
whether encouraged through the banks
or the post office is most desirable of
cultivation. especially when the money
thus saved Is put into circulation
through some safe agency of employ
ment The confidence that the people
feel in the governments financial Sc
curity is undoubtedly a large factor in
the success Of the postal savings system.
At the present rate of progress the
postal savings deposits will soon mount
10 a great total. constituting one OF the
most important fiscal factors in Ameri-
can affairs.

PEOPLE Like Luxury.

From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
When four wheeled carriages made
their appearance in Spain in the days
Of Ferdinand and Isabella it was con-
fdentIy predicted that they would bring
the country to ruin. So strong did this
conviction become that statute was
enacted prohibiting certain and divers
persons from recklessly spending their
hard-earned savings for carriages. II
was the judgment of the wise men OF
that time that people were likely to
spend their money foolishly for luxuries
and In this manner bring upon them
selves want for actual necessities unless
they were curbed by rigorous laws. To-
day we have the same problem in the
auto world. And the wise ones are seek
ing to devise ways and means of pre-
venting people from mortgaging their
homes for the purchase price of joy
wagon. Human nature seems to change
but little with passing centuries. Roose-
Welt said every reform has its "lunatic
fringe" So il seems every generation
has a similar fringe.

Street Car Splitting.

In every street car in the city of Wash
ington a sign Is conspicuously displayed
warning passengers that splitting on any
part of the car is an offense punishable
by fines. That warning is ignored and
the regulation is violated every hour of
the day on practically every car. When
passengers who have a regard for de-
cency and the laws of sanitation object
to this practice they are treated with con-
tempt and on appeal TO conductors re-
ceive as a rule no effective response
Passengers cannot make arrests them
selves and the conductors will not call the
nolice and enter complaints. Conse-
uuently the splitting practice prevails. as
serious a nuisance as before the warning
signs were displayed in token of the
police-regulation mandate of the Com
missioners.
A few arrests and convictions in the
Police Court are needed to demonstrate
that the signs in the cars mean some
thing AT this time of the year il is par
ticularly important to enforce this law,
for windows are closed, ventilation in the
cars is bad and just now the crowds are
dense The conditions are ideal for the
spread of disease and 1t is a fact that
needs no argument that diseases of the
pulmonary organs are most freely spread
through public splitting.
1t would only be necessary to put a
few street clothes men in the street cars
OF the city to round up an impressive
array of spitting-rule violators Appar-
emily something of the sort il needed to
| give force to the law. Without II, in the

should be present TO hear them-not IN
| drowsy plight wishing for bed, but wide
awake, and full of interest. And. any
/ how why make such heavy draft on
the physical strength of men who have
been hard at work for months, and some
OF whom are no longer young?
1t seeks to bring an important contest
to a close not in line with the deserts Of
the subject or the previous proceedings.
No time has been wasted on the question
since the House voted. Eminent demo-
cratic senator's testify openly to the value
of the hearings the Senate committee on
banking granted to business men nat
urally interested in legislative action Of
SO much moment to themselves and all
their business connections. Why, then.
apply the whip and spur as soon as the
committee let's go and the full Senate
takes hold?
An answer offered is that the subject
has been sufficiently thrashed out; that
every senator is ready to vote; that fur
ther discussion spells only delay for par
tisan purposes.
Not much. The same thing was said
about the tariff after the House had
voted. Why further talk about that?
Had not the subject been thrashed out
in every national campaign since. and
including. that of 1876? Who wanted
who needed, to hear another word? No
body. The thing to do was to vote
Business was halted and anxious. and
every days delay was costing the country
millions of dollars.
All of US see now how important 1t was
that the Senate proceed with caution.
Every hour the House tariff bill was IN
committee and every hour it was under
discussion in the open Senate were well
bestowed on what In the House shape
was immature and dangerous. Haste
makes waste; and waste in as momen-
tous a matter as currency revision would
be calamitous to the country.

Wilson and Roosevelt.

Naturally. the touch of progressivism
n the Presidents message has raised
The charge that he is poaching on Mr..
Roosevelts preserves. Aha" exclaim
the bull moosers. "Sits the wind in that
quarter"
The prediction follows that the contest
in 1915 will be between Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Roosevelt, both bidding for the ad
vanced progressive vote. and both willing
TO bear the Characterization Of radical
But this prediction leaves the conserva-
tive vote in both the democratic party
and the republican party out of consider
alton. II Mr.. Wilson bids too conspicu-
ously and recklessly for radical votes,
how can he hope to hold the conservative
democratic vote? And if Mr. Roosevelt
offers himself on a platform showing the
full courage Of his progressivisnn. how
can he hope to draw TO his side those
publicans who last year refused him sup
port the score of his radicalism?
So much IS uncertain now-so much In
d nuid state-predictions while free to all
ir free country. are of no great value
as applied to 1916. Politically speaking,
al age. full of possibilities lies between
this time and that. But this prediction
seems a little persuasive: the contest in
1916 VIII not be between two radical par
les appealing for votes on radical issues.
Che OF the leading parties must take ac-
count Of conservative sentiment. and il
may fall out that both will. The propo-
s'tion 10 put everything into the melting
Pot and take chances on what may come
oCt has too many supporters. but not
enough by any means to control the af-
fairs Of these United States.
Mr.. Wilson. then. may all be sure,
has no thought of putting all of his eggs
into the radical basket He claims to be
a progressive democrat and will urge
some measures along that line But there
is a conservative element in the demo-
cratic party which in four presidential
contests running rebuked radicalism in
that organization. And il so happens that
Mr. Wilson sympathiZed with the re-
bukers- And that conservative element
is still strong. and would act again un-
der sufficient provocation
As for Mr.. Roosevelt, his position and
calculations are clear He believes that
he has destroyed the republican party.
and his hope is that the democratic party
will fail in office and destroy itself. He
sees wreckage on every hand in 1916. and
himself. hook in hand, landing enough of
il for the construction OF a raft to bear
him back over the stormy waters to the
White House.
But the republican party is not in the
condition imagined and desired by Mr..
Roosevelt The report of its death "is
very much exaggerated" 1t is showing
many signs of life, and. penitent and
progressive, may be on its feet and in
excellent fettie again three years hence

Suffrage and the Balance of Power.

The woman SuffragistS, now in session
in Washington. occupy a position of
0eniable strategic strength in the national
campaign for countrywide enfranchise-
ment. Possessing the right to vote at all
elections in nine Of the states. the women
come close to holding the balance Of
power. One of the speakers at last nights
| meeting, man of wide experience in po-
litical matters, declared that as a result
of their solidarity of sentiment and or
ganization the woman voters of this coun-
try have il in their power TO determine
the next presidential election. This may
seem a broad statement, and yet when 1t
Is remembered that presidential votes will
be cast by women in 1916 in Wyoming,
Colorado. Utah, Idaho, Washington. Cali
fornia, Arizona, Kansas and Oregon, with
| a total Of Do out of total of o31 electoral
votes, it is to be seen that there is a de-
cided force of probability In it. No can
didate for the presidency can afford to
ignore this element. in its present spirit
of determination and the general aloof-
ness of the women from ordinary politi-
cal affiliations in matters affecting the
main issue of the extension Of the fran
chise. 1t is possible for the women of
the nine states in which the full suffrage
is now enjoyed to deliver them to any
party that declares for suffrage as
against one that declares itself in oppo-
sition to it or fails to adopt a positively
favorable attitude. For in the states
where the women have been enfranchised
the woman voters. while not perhaps nu-
merically equal to the men, neverthe-
less numerous enough TO overturn the
usual partisan majority. This fact will
have an important bearing upon the out
come of the suffrage campaigns In Penn
sylvania and New York, which are the
next important battle grounds for the
equal suffrage cause. If these two states
were added to the suffrage list the women
would have the vote in states controlling
1873 electoral votes, or over 25 per cent. 1t
is idle to doubt the ultimate success of
suffrage throughout the United States.
either by successive state enfranchise-
ment or by the adoption of federal con-
stitutional amendment. The women have
just made their appeal to the House COM
mittee and 1t remains to be seen how
effectively they have argued their cause.
or. to state the matter in possibly more
practical terms. how potent is the in
fuence they WELD as enfranchised voters
In nine states that are within the de-
batable ground of national politics.
