7 Postal Savings Banks.
 (Norwich Record.)


 Wisdom and experience are behind the order of the postmaster general opening the postal savings banks ta every section of the country. Begin- ming with July no community will be so remote that 1t cannot make use of the institution. The demand re- sponded to is widespread and urgent and the authorities have wisely yield ed. At present no person can become a depositor in one of the banks ex- cept at the postoffice where he or she receives mail. As there are thou sands of post offices which have no bank facilities, a large part of t'.e public is shut out. But after July 1 any person may deposit in any bank he chooses, sending the money through the nearest post-office. Savings can be withdrawn by mail as easily as they. can be deposited. In anotl CT way, too, the government bank has been broadeded. Hereafter any cit izen over 10 years of age can become a depositor. As time advances tie popularity of the bank increases in an impressive manner. In the eight months ending April 1 the government banks gained SIS, 9,o00,o 900 in deposits, as compared with gain of $8,000. 900 in the same months of the previous year. Of course the war and the neutral decreases in the foreign money order business had something to-. GO with this big jump, but allowing for that the gain was such as to prove that the institution is appreciated in the ratio of it's being understood by the mass of the people.

Civilization vs. Barbarism.
(Meriden Record.

When Camillus, the Roman gen. eral, was besieging Falerii an oppor- tunity was offered to secure a victory by murdering a number of children of the Falerians who had been treach- erously placed in his power.
 The proposal was so shocking to Camillus that he said to those who were by:
 Was at best is savage thing and wades through a sea of blood and wrong; yet even war has its laws, which men of honor will not depart from; nor do they so pursue victory as to avail themselves by acts of vil- 'lainy and seness."-Plutarchs Lives. This was before. the era of submar- ires and zcppelns and poisonous gases. Reading of the atrocities with which the several belligerents accuse ca h other, and with some of the evidence which we have been able to get first hand, the term civilization is now misnomer
 So confident was society that th" world had made great strides in the humanizing factors that the ghastly events of the past eight months were not considered within the realm Of possibilities.
 In the fact of all that has been said of the barbarity and brutality of past ages one feels like acknowledging that the Dark Ages were virgin white in comparison with the new era. The former made no claims of being an- gelic. The latter has attempted tho role of reformer and there were those who believed the claims could he backed up. How terribly low modern "civilizatiop" has fallen can be nea- sured by the happenings in Europe within the past few months. Colosg4l murder has been done in it's most vicious forms-and all in the name of patriotism!

and the course to the south and north of them. Washington doesn't quite understand the new instructions, and very properly desires to know more about them.

England Bees Question in Her Crisis.
 (New. London Day.)

England Begs Question in Her Crisis.
 tNew London Day.)
 Tn the adjustment of her cabinet problem, and in relation to the very most important feature of that ad- justment, England has begged the question. She has retained Earl Kitchener a. war secretary and has appointed David Lloyd George to be minister of munitions, the new office created as . sort of comprise with the situation that has grown up un- der Kitchener,s regime.
 The way they figure 1t is that put ting the department of war munitions under control of Lloyd George will disarm those critics of Kitchener who have insisted that the sphinxlike war secretary dd not know how to supply modern army and could not learn how, and also that the influence of Lloyd George with the masses, which is greater than that of any other man in England, would enable him to arouse decent degree of patriotism In the British workingman and induce that highly important parsonage to remain sober, keep on his job and now and then enlist.
 How they expect to divide up the re- responsibilities of the war office in this
 way and place the divided responsi-
 bilities in the hands of persons like
 Kitchener and Lloyd George, witho having another rumpus. 1t Is difficult to see. One or the other must soon- or or later become a figurehead, and neither the stony Kitchener nor the aggressive and determined Lloyd George Is likely to be willing to oc- cupy that position. Also 1t is highly probable that the obvtousness of the device for wheedling Tom and Harry into enthusiasm over their duties Is likely to prove the defeat of it's pur- pose. 2 Mr. -Balfour may be able to handle the affairs of the navy department which already labors under the hand leap of divided authority, more suc- l cessfully than Churchill; and 1t may l be that 1t cannot be done.
 Britain's emergence from her cabi- 1 net crisis seems to be in direction l where lies another. cabinet crisis at a l little distance. She has paltered with l q desperate situation.

BEWARE OF AGENTS.

Owing TO the financial depression

their operations to the mountains.

While we must admit that at times
it appears that some bargains may be
had from these travellers, we must re-
member that many times their goods
are not standard that they are at
times sold by unreliable people and
you don't have the satisfaction OF

and therefore if MI. Hudgins believes
in judicious advertising, and he says
he does, we don't think this tax should
be turned into road building funds.
We can get road money easier than we
can get this advertising fund, which is
equally important. We agree with Mr..
Hudgins that the people should not be
fooled into coming here. We have
plenty of good things to tell the truth
about in a most attractive way.
