Centennial TO SPREAD
THE HABIT OF SAVING.
Anniversary Of Founding of First Saw
ings Bank to Be Observed.

Next year is the one hundredth anni-
versary of the founding Of the first saw
ings bank in the United States, and a
movement has been inaugurated to OBJ
serve the centennial by nation wide
campaign for the promotion of thrift
among all classes. Preparations have
been begun for undertaking the CAM
paign on Jan. l, and the plan is receiv-
ing the support of prominent bankers
and public men.
In sixty-two cities of the country,
each with q population of more than
25,O00, the campaign will be conducted
through the local chapters of the
American Institute of Banking; in the
smaller cities and towns, through
banks which are members Of the Amer
lean Bankers association; In the
states, through the secretaries Of the
State bankers association. The indus
trial workers will be reached through
the National Civic federation and the
immigrants through the national Amer
icanization committee.
Inasmuch as immigrants, as a rule,
are accustomed to government savings
banks in their own countries and de-
posit their money here in the United
States postal savings institutions, the
government officials in the postoffice
banks will assist in fostering in the for
eign element a feeling of confidence in
savings banks. The bureau of CONNER

A Suggestion Concerning Root.

Former Senator Root says the Presidency for
him is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE If it be permitted
to paraphrase the Scriptures, it might be remarked
that in politics all things possible. But at
least the suggestion made that Mr. Root be Secre-
tary OF State beginning two years from now under
the next Republican President is that is fitting
and appropriate.
In TACT, just imagine what sense of relief and
satisfaction would be prevalent throughout the
country II Fllhu Root were in charge OF
our foreign relations! The evils due to this ad-
nlinstration and its control OF Congress, far
they relate TO our business and commercial wei
fare. everybody feels will pass away Immediately
upon the Inauguration OF a Republican admins
traton two years from now. But the condition of
our State Department, when nobody knows who
is the head OF it. and when the nominal Secretary
ahandons Washington soon as a money making
opportunity presents ITSELF leaving the country in
doubt whether to be relieved or indignant that he
has taken his hands off, uncasiness lest dis
astcrs come that will outlive the present admins
tratio. This is intensified by the record of our
abortivc invasion of Mexico, which has resulted in
situation at present than ever before.
If Root were Secretary OF State right now this
uneasincss would disappear Immediately. But then,
when the country permits the Democratic party,
though minority, TO get control of the govern
ment, it really deserves to have a government of
deserving Democrats.-Brooklyn Standardization.

Philadelphia's Shortcomings.

| The gilt offering to the Rev. Billy Sunday
from the people OF Philadelphia is to date below
$5oooo and the evane clsts manager is disappoint-
ed. 1t is less than Pittsburgh gave year ago. and
much less than estimated when the coin and
bills and checks were showcrcd into the collcc-
ton plates last Sunday. But much OF the coin
was silver. the bills of small denomination and
none OF the checks large. The campaign man
agcr says that all the churches of Philadelphia
promised to take up collections, but they have
| failed to make cash deposits and he insinuates
that there has been bad faith on the part OF the
ministers
The old admoniton to not look gift horse
| in the mouth is ignored by the friends OF the
evangelist. He scnt to Philadelphia to work for
! the salvation OF souls, without money and without
! price. but it appears with great expectations as
| to the financial returns. At Il time when star
theatrical attractions have been recalled from
the road when even baseball stars looking for
| Jobs, and business men curtailing their eX-
pcnScs where 100000 unemployed arc being cared

suggests a tariff the salvation OF souls
But even though the free-wi offering in money
may be Disappointing there are many ways in
which appreciation he shown. A prominent

eminent is great business institution in itself

Trade Commission is possessed OF such practical
business wisdom it might demonstrate its ciici-
ency by beginning some reforms at home.
But, seriously, the business men, big and little,
are growing FESTIVE. They are tired of the con-
fusion and multiplicity OF laws. The trend is
toward larger participation by business interests

realize this important fact the better it will be

The Waste by Fire,

Franklin H. Wentworth, secretary Of the Ma
tonal Fire Protection Association is authority for
the statement made before the Philadelphia Asso-
citation of Credit Men that the fire loss in tho
United States amounts to S2soooo 900 a year, or
$500 a minute.
The average per capita fire loss for the United
States is s., according to a recent computation,
which gives SI.65 the figure for Philadelphia
S26o for New York, and S5I5 for Boston, Our
cxtTavagant careieSSncsS is marked contrast to
the showing for European cities which gives rs
cents for Berlin, SO cents for Bremen ~ cents for
Paris, so cents for London. and SI42 for Petro-
grad.
In six European countries the average annual
fire loss is 80 cents per capita. There are eight
fires for each 10000 OF the population. In the
nted States there are 40 per 10000 Berlin, with
5000 900 people, eNperds $500 900 a year on the
FIRE department and suffers loss of $4,000; Chi
cago, with inhabitants numbering 1000 600 less,
spends $1,000 600 the fire department and has
loss OF 100000.
The figures tell their own story and point their
own moral. Each American young or old. pays
tax of So year for somebody's carelessness
with matches or cigarettes, the improperly super
viscd storage of inhammable waste the sweeping
,confagratons started by careless campers pass
ing locomotives. For thirty-two years past the
total bill is nearly $1,000 600 900 in property losses
and nearly $4,000 100000 in insurance losses. 1t IS
terrible penalty for the national vice of negli-
gcnce and the lassitude of public sentiment. No
wonder the insurance rates remain high, as long
as ordinary precautions neglected by the IN
dividual, and laxty in the enforcement of such
laws there may be so officially tolerated.

An Argument for Divorce,

Editor of The Washington Herald: The
statement in The Herald of March IL
I from Rev. DR.. Manning. of New York
! my that divorce is a luxury of the
/ fich and menace to the nation seems
10 eFok" at least an opinion from the
IaItN. What God hath joined together
man cannot put asunder" If the con-
tracing parties awaken to the conscious
ness that they are only experiencing the
result or nonunion. the most vital mis-
take possible. then is not the subject of
divorce self-evident proposition? In
deed, now can one divorce those who
nave really never been Joined together
Are they not already virtually sepa-
| rated? There can be no greater menace
to society and the nation than the con-
| tinued emphasis of a mistaken life con-
tract. 1t Is not only self-deception, but
! a daily living of personified falsehood
lf, as We trust and believe marriage is
. the highest form of earthly satisfaction,
with its extended possibilities of pleasure
| To others, then is not the counterfeit all
the more deplorable? The writer adds:
IL Is a voluntary act, not 4 matter of
form" Most assuredly Marriage is the
result of choice, founded upon love ano
united interest. Then can it depend upon
any church ritual" No one can better
deal with this subject than those who
nave experienced mistakes. One can pur-
'chaSe piece OF land. but after finding
II is malarial and not suitable for resi-
dencc or use. he can at least let II go
for taxes. He is not Obliged to remain
upon it and imbibc the slow poisoning
from land serviceable only as a burial
place after the process of unconscious
suicide. man may think he has a
genuine dollar bill; he finds out II Is
spurious. The person who gave him the
bill may not have intended to cheat him.
why need others feel the responsibility
of the mistake? 1t seems that experi-
ence is teaching humanity everywhere
that 1T is necessary TO deal with life's
problems according to ones own best
knowledge and judgment. There is less
occasion for divorce among ministers
because they have the universal friend
ship. the companionship OF a larger So
cial element. They cannot realize the
automatic separations of opposing ma
lures as those compelled to depend upon
one source alone for sympathy. We can
only hope that the universal principle
of love may yet control marital choice
until Judgment faculty will be the con-
sideration which decides this most i'm
pOrtant of all life's transactions
