Postal Savings Open
To All Corners

Postmasters throughout the country
have received information from the
office of the Postmaster General to
the effect that postal savings bank
open to all depositors ten years of
age and over will be ready to receive
deposits on and after July l next.
Governor Dockey, Third Assistant
Postmaster General, who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was SO
impressed by appeals from all over
the country to open postal savings &C
counts by mail that he took up the
task some weeks ago of working out
a feasible and safe method of meet
ing demand we'll illustrated in a
letter from a Saline County Missouri
ian, who resides many miles from a
postal savings bank.
Having few hundred dollars
saved from fifty years of hard, as
sidous labor and skimping economy on
the part of my wife and myself, we
concluded to deposit it in the Postal
Savings Bank of -. We wrote to
the postmaster at that place and re-
ceived reply to the effect that none
but patrons of that Office could de-
post in that office which is very dis
appointing news to us. Our little
farm is not large enough to support
Us and land is so high that it is i'm
possible for US to buy more with what
little we have saved and we are sc
old that we can't labor much now and
we would be so glad to lay by at least
enough to put US away in decency."
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, re-
siding where there is no regularly
designated postal savings bank, will
apply to his local postmaster who will
see that necessary Identification data
is prepared and forwarded to nearby
post office authorized to accept de-
posts. The intending depositor will
then be given permission to forward
his first and subsequent deposits by
money order or registered mail direct
to the postmaster at the banking
Gates will be issued. He may with
draw all or any part of his postal
savings by mail and on demand to-
gether with any interest that may be
due him.
The new leafet points out that any
person ten years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name;
that an account may be opened by a
married woman free from any con-
troll or interference by her husband
that post office officials are forbidden
to disclose to any person, except the
lcpositor, the amount of any de-
rosits; that Withdrawals may be
made without previous notice; ant
hat the Government guarantees t.
repay all deposits on demand with ac-
.rucd interest.

Peace Sermon At
Palisade Union Church
By Reu. Erickson

A very small congregation heard
Rev. Mr.. Erickson last Sunday morn
ing at the Union Church deliver a
very able and thoughtful sermon on
the subject of Peace. He took his
text from jeremiah, and said many
serious things about the European
war, using the Lusitania sinking as
the theme for much of his comment.
AS a sermon fit for the occasion, it
was an able and appropriate effort,
except that it failed to touch upon any
part the President of the United
States was playing in the present
situation made prominent by the Lusi-
tania incident. Mr.. Erickson alluded
tc a recent utterance about there be-
ing times when man or a people
should be too proud to fight, and said
that being too proud tc fight meant
being too cowardly to fight. As this
was a direct allusion to President
Wilson's recent Philadelphia speech,
some of those present Sunday could
not quite catch the meaning OF the
reference as made unless, in recalling
the entire sermon not reference mad
been made to President Wilson's po-
sition, when all the world was lauding
his magnificent work in trying to up
hold American honor in the German
note, at the came time really desiring
peace.
Mr.. Erickson was questioned about
the matter, bat said he had alluded
to the high purpose Of the heads Ct
our Government and that he person
ally commended the Presidents stand
He disclaimed any thought of reflect
ing upon OF criticl;ns Mr.. Wilson.

The Orofino Tribune may talk about
'h-a-r-m-o-n-y" but there will be
HE'LL in Clearwater county just as
long as gang imposes all kinds of
dirty deals on the people. For
example, the Clearwater Republican
donated at least $500 in gathering an
exhibit, and was awarded $40
premium. l. r. Grow was secretary.
He paid himself sS5 for printing
and exhibitors got insutled when
they asked for money. Who is to

who, sitting as judge in Clearwater

wants harmony.

What is the matter with having a
GOOD ROADS" day this spring
One day now will be worth several
days later in the season. The COM
missioners will designate any date
that best suits the farmers, but are
inclined to the opinion that it will be
best to wait till June, as last year,
when crops are in and the farmers
have time to. spare. I asst year many
farmers gave two days to the good
roads movement, and splendid results
followed. So we'll pleased were
the people that there is desire
for an annual good roads day, and
some time in June will probably come
nearest suiting everybody. The good
roads germ has struck the whole coun-
try.

It seems almost beyond human COM
prehension to imagine one SO devoid
Of decency and honor a. to sue any
man without giving him an oppor-
tunity to settle note. But if re-
ports are true thing of this kind
happened here in Orofino this week,
and it looks like the unnecessary costs
imposed on a poor, but honest citizen
would amount to more than 500.
The incident has aroused bitter re-
sentiment, as it should, and when the
public learns the full story there will
be even greater feeling against the
responsible parties. To our mind
some things are worse than holding a
man up at the point of gun in a
dark alley. The taking advantage of
legal technicalities, imposing ex-
honorbitant fees for a blackleg at
torney, when the man has no oppor-
tunity to protect himself, is the
limit of human cussedness. Some
communities apply tar and feathers
for this kind of conduct, and it is
alright. But while at it COM
munity ought to do good jon, for
the imps of He'll are saints beside the
Devil who sits in the background and
manipulates the strings. How long
will the citizens of Orofino tolerate
such outrages?
