CHANGE IN POSTAL SAVINGS.

Larger postal deposits will now be
accepted at the post office. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings Act
just approved by President Wilson.
A postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his credit.
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying to
thousands of depositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more OF their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another feat
ure of the amendment that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount

NYE-NOT WANTED.

The Club element is for Mayor
Nye. We admire their loyalty. But
the constructive element of Negro
citizens have declared vengeance on
him. They remember his activities in
favor of "The Birth of a Nation"-
and realize that he has done MOTH

Negro voters, (and they elected him

tion as political patronage, and that
with special privilege to some without
consideration for all. The slogan ot
the majority of Negroes is "Anybody
but Nye"-and they will support hi:
opponent, if he is nominated. Mr.
Langum will get big vote and Mr.
Van Lear has loyal supporters, who
stood by him in 1912. Mr.. Nye ha:
done more to hinder the progress:
of Negroes than any other Mayor O

that could be accepted from a de-
positor monthly. Under the old law
only $l00 could be deposited in a
calender month. The amendment
abolishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half-a-
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their credit,
still it has fallen far short of meeting
the full demands of the public be-
cause of the restrictions which have
now been eliminated. Postmaster
General Burleson and Third Assist
a modification of the limitations and
ant Postmaster General Dockery have
been tireless in their efforts to secure
the new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them.

Mr.. Rines has been in public life

ity. y -
Two years ago he was a candidate
for state auditor and came within q
few hundred votes of receiving the

His long public service has made Mr.,
Rines thoroughly familiar with state
government and he Is we'll equipped,
10th by training and character, to fill
Re Office Of state treasurer.
The more important laws Of which
Mr. Rines was the author are: The five
per cent gross earnings tax law, which
Is now producing annually over one
million dollars additional revenue for

mineral lease law, which the late Gov.
Johnson stated in a campaign speech
would save the state school funds

HON. JOHN G. LENNON.
Why We Want Him,

Hon. John G. Lennon was defeated
for the Senate two years ago, when
he opposed E. J. Westlake, because
of the speeches and writings of Chas.
Sumner Smith, who believed that Mr..
Westlake was "all right" - but
WESTLAKE has proved FALSE to
his Negro friends. Had we elected
Mr.. Lennon, we would have done
better. Let us return him to the
lower House, where he always cham
pioned our cause. We need him there
and must return him-and we are 60
ing to remove the negligent Senator
in 1918 and put better man in his
place.
