POSTAL SAVINGS
DEPOSITS INCREASED

The war IN Europe is proving a
big boon TO postal savings m this
country. From the very day hos.
uliues opened across the seas postal.
savings began 10 increase by leaps
and bonnds and Withdrawals fell off,
a result quite contrary to the pre-.
dlctions of many wel..informed per.
sons who, in their Imagination, saw
lines of feyerish depositors at post
Office paw windows anxious TO again
return their savings TO the boot leg
and body belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted TO Uncle
Sam. But the forecaslers tailed TO
reckon on the absolute confidence of
the American citizen, regardless of
the flag that first met his eyes, m
the ability and purpose of the Gov
ernment to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations Of the
earth, but with the humblest citizen
Of our land.
Two important results have fol.
lowed; thousands OF people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pa
irons of our postal-savings system;
and enormous sums of actual casl,
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at II
time when the need for every avail
able dollar is pressing.

During the four years Of the Civil
War the South not only fed aud
clothed herself, but maintained a
large army aud waged brilliant
warfare against overwhelming odds.
Surrounded by hostile armies aud
navies, shut of from the markets OF
the world, she was limited TO her
own resources. Aud yet, though
prl'atlons were many, no one stary.

the blessings OF peace, We have |

TROUBLES BREWING
FOR NEXT CONGRESS
Kitchin Slated for Hause Leader
and Henry May Face Fight
to Keep Place.

The House Democratic organization
| will have its troubles when it comes to
reorganizing for the next Congress.
for 1t Is assumed the Democrats will
keep control Of the House. If on a de-
creased majority.
Leader Oscar Underwood will leave
| the House and go to the Senate. Here
is one difficulty. Then there is a move
! ment on to GUST Chairman Henry from
his position as head Of the Rules Com
| mittee. Moreover, there is no love for
Speaker Champ Clark, either in the
quarters Of the House closest to Sec
rotary Of State Bryan or in those
closest to President Wilson.
1t seems to be settled that as chair
man Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee and head Of the Committee on
Committees. Underwood's successor will
be Congressman Claude Kitchin Of North
Carolina, who Is the ranking Democrat
and vigorous and forceful member.
Mr.. Underwood, as leader, has ex-
ercised tact and urbanity. and has had
cordial personal relations with nearly
the entire House, regardless Of differ
ences of views on politics or legisla-
ton. Mr.. Kitchin Is a more radical
llulVluuds imam MI. UnQ0TWOOu, tllu
has pronounced views of his own. His
task will be no easy one.
Henry Is Opposed.
Congressman Henry of Texas, chair
man of the Rules Committee, has
taken Independent and radical posi-
tons on a number Of matters much at
variance with the Administration. He
stirred up the agitation for special
Federal legislation to give aid to the
cotton producers. He has not been dis
posed to take orders, and has incurred
some sharp enmity. But an attempt to
GUST him from the Rules craftsmanship
will cause a hot fight.
There are many who would like the
place Of Congressman Fitzgerald as
head Of the Appropriations Committee.
but they will have to wait. He has
jumped hard on Democratic extrava-
gance and has earned some antagonisms.
He is too strong to lose his place,
however.
Clark Sure of Place.
Speaker Clark and Secretary Bryan
still nurture their antagonism for each
other. This earns some enemies for the
Speaker among close friends Of Bryan
in the House. Since the bitter fight on
the repeal Of the tolls exemption clause
of the Panama canal act the Speaker
has not been regarded with particular
ardor at the White House. Speaker
Clark. nevertheless, will be reelected:
He has a strong following and a lot Of
warm personal friendships, and will not
be unseated. Probably no attempt will
be made to do so.
If the margin in the next Congress
is close the Democratic situation will
be difficult. The leadership will be-
come more arduous and there will be
better opportunities for insurgent Demo-
Gratis to cooperate with the minority
and override the organization.
