Mr.. Pinchot DisiIIusioned.

One of the first to recover from the
surprises of the election is one Pin
chot-''Brother Amos" He has no
Authorizations concerning the peril
nent and peaceful post mortem of pro-
gressivism, but he puts all the blame
on poor Papa Perkins, the god father
of bull moosery.
Mr.. Pinchot finds nothing accom-
plished out of the brilliant prospects
of two years ago. He thinks the par
ty degenerated from principles TO
platitudes, and became personal pif-
fie pt7moter; that 1t was financed by
selfish interests which turned it's ac-
tivities to the opposite of professions.
Pinchot apparently does not mourn
the death of the party, but, rather. the
death of confidence in high pretense
and Biblical quotations as basis for
a great party.
The sudden complete and admitted
collapse of the third party is disap-
pointment to thousands of honest
men who were not in position to as
fully understand conditions and pros
poets as did Mr.. Pinchot. They be-
lieved implicitly in the heaven zap
pointed mission of their party and its
leaders. They could not understand
the possibility of new party

and corrupt as an old party. Old
leaders and interests protesting
reformation were accepted as new
prophets. They could do no wrong
The very acts they openly committed
were condemned in the old parties as
long standing perfidious practices
There could be but one end because
understanding and justice are boun1

the mission of the party has been
fulfilled, but that its accomplishment
is wide Of the expectancy Of it's rank
and file. The movement has done
much for the old parties and it's jus
tice-loving members have obtained a
new grasp upon and interest in
political affairs. that will make them
powerful factor in political organi-
cations Of the future. But every
thinking person realizes that only two
great political parties can exist ana
these two are likely to be- for a long
time to come, the two that have held
sway for two generations.

Editorial Comment
Mr.. Pinehet and Others.
washington Starr

Mr.. Pinchot confesses in frank and
manly fashion. He believed at the
start implicitly in the party called
progressive and it's leader. In his
minds eye he saw new era dawn
ing. Wrongs were to be righted. Old
policies were to be abandoned, and
new policies adopted. Special privi-
lege was to die the death. Larger OPP
portunities for all-even the humDiest
were to be established.
The presence of certain trusts near
the throne disquieted Mr.. Pinchot. He
could not associate them with the fine,
new, rosy and virtuous purpose. What
did their presence near the throne
mean? What did 1t foreshadow?
In order to be sure. Mr.. Pinchot
wrote to Mr.. Roosevelt, putting the
matter plainly. In reply he received
Nfiat must have affected him as a re-
buke. Mr.. Roosevelt did not share in
Mr.. Pinchot's uneasiness. The pro-
eressive movement to be successful
must be practical; must appeal to and
have the support Of practical men.
Let not Mr.. Pinchot's heart be trou-
bled. Mr.. Perkins was a friend. not
an enemy.
His doubts increased, until he Is now
convinced, not only of the misman-
agement of the progressive cause, but
that the progressive party 10 done for.
Mr.. Pinchot is a man of ability and
observation, and the wonder Is ne did
not earlier get wise" to the real sit
uatfon. There were men as ardent as

Roosevelt in his assaults on the party
which had made him and the men
who had lifted him from helplessness
to power They saw that the pro-
gressivism of Mr.. Roosevelt was but
a bid for a return to the White House
that it represented that purpose and
no other.
Former Gov. Hadley of Missouri was
of this number. He attended the Chi
cago convention Of two years ago,
where Mr. Roosevelt made his grand
stand play, and this is what Gov. Had
ley says on the subject:
1.-THE country has never regarded the
progressive party as anything more tnan
differences that divided the parties were
essentially differences over matters OF po-
litical control, and not differences over
principles and policies. have IN my

Then--and-N Now

Ninety-eight years ago today the
first savings bank in the United
States to open its doors for busi-
ness began taking deposits in Phil
adelphia under the name of the
Philadelphia Savings Fund Society.
Eleven days later the Massachu-
sets legislature granted a charter
to the Provident Savings Institu-
ton of Boston and thus established
the worlds first savings bank to be
legally chartered and regulated by
law. The germ of the savings
bank idea had been in existence
for half century, 1t having come
to life, as is generally recorded. in
Hamburg. Germany After expert
mentation by individuals in Scot
land and England unhampered by
legislative enactments the idea was
transplanted to Philadelphia
through the medium of news
paper. The European poor. for
whom the savings bank was orig
inally created as a charitable in
stitution, greeted the idea with
suspicion, seeing no advantage in
it over the loose brick in the fire.
place or the thatch of the roof
which had been the universal bank
for many ages. However, Condy
Racquet of Philadelphia was greatly
impressed by an account in an
English journal of a savings bank
in operation in England. Meeting
Richard Peters, Jr., on Chestnut
street on November Goth he
boached a plan for a similar insti-
tuition. Raguet's plan was laid be-
fore a group of prominent Phila-
delphians and without delay the
United States first savings bank
was in operation. The Boston saw
ings bank began more formally,
receiving the endorsement of legis-
lature, and as an inducement for
depositors promised l per cent,
quarterly and more if found prae-
ticable. Four years later there
were 10 savings banks in the United
States with per capita deposit
of IL cents.

Today there are 1873 savings
banks in the United States in
which 1e,7ee,sss thrifty Americans
have deposited s4.727. 4os.s5o. accord
ing to a recent government report.
1t is a sum greater than any other
country in the world has on de-
post, and 1t exceeds the combined
total that the French, the Austri-
ans, Italians, Japanese and British
people have on deposit in their
communal, private, postal, corpor-
ate and trustee savings banks.
Just how great the Americans
savings account is, is illustrated
by the fact that, according to an
estimate made by French econ
omist in the University of Paris,
Prof. Charles Richet, the sum Is
sufficient TO pay for the food, the
equipment, the transportation and
ammunition for the warning Euro
pean armies for the next three
months. On this anniversary the
per capita rate of deposit has in
creased from the IL cents of 1920
to the $500 of 1914. The average
deposit account is now s4S907.
Ninety-five years after the opening
of the pioneer savings bank, the
United States Postal Savings Bank
came into existence. Today, three
years after it's adoption, about s4e,-
900, 900 has been deposited by nearly
100000 thrifty inhabitants in the
L. 900 repositories for postal savings
in operation from the pines of
Maine to the palms of California.
Most of this sum has been rescued
from its hiding place in stockings,
cupboards and mattresses where
many people found 1t more conven-
lent to hoard their savings than to
stow them in savings banks. Re-
cent decades have witnessed the
growth of thrift, and in consequence
schools. department stores, facto-
ries and financial institutions have
mutual savings associations to pro-
vide against the proverbial rainy
day.

"The Church Against tho Saloon"

Can any of our readers imagine a
great publication like Golfers ten
years ago taking the strong position
indicated in the following editorial
published Nov. %:
The One Hundred and Twenty.
Sixth Presbyterian General Assembly
urges it's members to resign from So
eiaI clubs that sell liquor and to rent
no buildings for saloon purposes. II
also indorses nation wide prohibition.
Some newspapers prophesy ruin,
desperation, anger, hypocrisy, tyranny,
and civil war as few of the probable
results If the booze is wiped out. II
does not seem to occur to them that
we must and will have a strongly
constructive social policy regarding
liquor. Why don't the brewers help
in this? Why don't they prohibit vile
drugs and poisonous stimuIants in the
saloons they eontroI7 Why is the
whole liquor business SO hostile to
regulation and so mad to extend its
sales at any cost to the community?

We Are Not "out" of Mexico.

We Are Not Out of Mexico.
When the administration sliced a
salute the flag" excuse to make war
upon one man in Mexico, this news
paper was unable to express its in
dignation and disapproval Of the whole
stupendous folly. Many independent
newspapers hesitated in face of popu-
lar clamor to stand behind the
President" but within few days
rallied to the common sense of the
thing and criticized with increasing
bitterness the pitiable position of this
great people Quitting in" to the
affairs of sister republic. and sac
rificing men and millions to take sides
between Mexican factions.
The Kennebec Journal was accused.
at that time of favoring armed inter-
vention because we could not approve
the Presidents drifting. pointless,
watchful waiting policy. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. We
believed, and do now, that Huerta
was as good and as clean as any Mex
lean in sight, and more responsible.
We believed it none of President
Wilson's business to interfere in favor
of another bandit faction, on any pail

That the critics of President Wilson
saw with clearer vision than he is now
proven in prevailing conditions. In
truth anarchy prevails in Mexico. No
one can claim that conditions are to-
day improved over one year ago. We
have given precious human lives and
nothing.
And we are not "out" of Mexico!
There lies the rocky road of the
present hour. Hang stepped into
Mexico to prove our domination, we
have assumed responsibilities before
the world that cannot be thrown off
by calling home our war dogs. We
set about the destruction Of the Mex
lean government which other nations
had approved, and declared ourselves
boss Of the situation. We succeeded
in wiping out the recognized seat of
control and now from every quarter

the. capital of Mexico is wherever his
hat happens to hang. Carranza, Villa,
Zapata and others will soon be claw
ing at each others threats and, as one
after another is eliminated, is the sur
vivor to be made war upon by this
country?
An exchange says: Wilson was
driven to make an alliance with Villa;
in our judgment, historians will des-
cribe this alliance with Villa as an
appalling act. Through Wilson's aid,
Villa was raised to power. What Villa
has done with his power--the whole
record of murder and rapine in Mex
leo during the past few months--has
not been told. American newspapers
have refrained largely out of consider
alton for the Administration; more
over, as news, the events in Mexico
have been overshadowed by the events
in Europe Why not admit frankly
that the ADMINISTRATOR course was
mistake? 1t was an honest mistake.
More. 1t was a high minded mistake
At the time. when it first promised
success. 1t was extravagantly praised.
The defect in 1t, as it now turns out,
was an amateurishness in statesman
ship. Why continue to assume that
the course chosen by the Administra-
ton could have only one outcome. and
that the perfect one? Why not admit
that it had to be gamble, that there
was chance of its ending badly, and
that. in the cast Of the die, it did turn
out badly?"

Another Exodus From vail.

Gov. Blease Of South Carolina in

Day by pardoning 101 convicts.
Fifteen of them were murderers.
Others released included men guilty
OF manslaughter. forgers, thieves of
every class and description, assailants
of women. pickpockets and incendi-
aries.
Mr.. Biease, during the last political
campaign. threatened to empty all
the prisons, and perhaps he may COM

Since his induction into Office he
has granted nearly 1900 pardons.
