At it's meeting in Browns hall last

High Point-1512 Deposi.
tors.

Last Saturday marked the sixth
anniversary of the postal savings sys-
tenn in the United States, and the
deposits in the Duluth postal bank
are greater now than ever before.
Up until now $1,326.24S has been
deposited in the postal bank by Du-
luthians, and Of this amount $422,507
is still on deposit. Last year on this
date the deposits amounted to $685.
1876, making an increase Of $117,371
in the bank.
In all there are 1912 depositors
Nearly every nation is represented
among the depositors. The European
war has held the savings down be-
cause of the restricted immigration
and the need for money in the foreign
countries. Many aliens who formerly
saved their money are now sending
it abroad to relieve their relatives in
the war districts.

Some ot tue ewspapers, and usually tn .se which were oppos- ed to the "selective draft" meas ure, speak of the Bill, in deroga- tory terms, as "conseription. :" To call the selective draft, con- scription, as conscription s known in this country, is a mis- homer. Under the selective draft plan, all between certaing ages are called for their countrv's < armies, without a chance to vol unteer, while, under the old con scription rule, every means to recruit the army by volunteers were resorted to before con scription was sought.
 So, under the old rule, the con script was looked upon by the volunteer soldier with disfavor, if not with disgust; but now, tn der the new rule all will be diff ferent. All will enter the army on an equal footing, and the one soldier who valorously fights for his country will be as reno wned as another. The selective draft system IS builded on the theory that 1t Is as much the duty of one able bodied man to defend his country as another, and that no distinction should be made between them, whether rich or poor, great or small.
 The conscript idea was based not so much upon fitness, as ne cessity, and in time of need those who had previously been offer ed the opportunity of volunteer ing but failed to do so were forced into the army against their will. Now, every man, within the fighting age, who
 wants to fight, if physically fit will have his chance. and every other one, who would not, if al lowed to indulge his own voli. tion. if selected. will go right along with none of the old con script odium hanging over him. So it is plain to be seen that there IS a difference between the selective draft and the conscript

All boys desiring to enlist should present themselves at the temporary recruiting station where they will be given preliminary examination there and forwarded at the Governments ex- pense to the main station at Little Rock. At Little Rock the final exam inatiOn will be conducted. All those
 who pass and are enlisted as Appren- tce Seaman will be sent to the Naval training station at Great Lakes, H., about 30 miles north of Chicago. They
 will be given an excellent course of training for two months and then sent to sea. Their pay at the training stat
 ion will be s17 50 month, and after they leave it will be 320.90.
 Once on a sea going ship their pro
 motion depends upon the efficiency they show in their work and upon their colduot. There are numerous opportu lities open to th"m. E7ery year 100 enlisted mem are given ap
 pointments to the Naval Academy
 Annapolis if they can pass .he Il 'ces- sary examination. If they are uAabis

 Every winter the Atlantic Fleet goes to the West Indies for several months to carry out drills, fleet ma neuvers and target practice. During the summer the fleet usually bases on Newport, R. l. The ships are in the Navy Yards for several months wear and it is during this period that all men with good records are given a months leave, in which they may visit their homes.
 All enlistments are made for four years. Upon reenlistment for an ad ditional period of four years, bounty of four months pay is given and the regular pay is materially increased. After Is years service, men may join the naval reserve with about half pay.
 Their service in the reserve consist merely of contracting to report for ac- tive duty in the event of war. After 30 years in the navy and naval reserve combined, over three quarters pay is allowed.
 The opportunity of serving the coun- try in the Navy in case of war should appeal to every patriotic young man.

While the big Secretaries of this big country are eminent men and their suggestions should be carefully listened to and con sidered by Congress, yet, at the same time, the Congressional powers should not be delegated to those men. Both have a part to perform and let them do 1t calmly and dispassionately. In times of war there is generally more or less conflict between the military and civil authorities; but if our country is to remain free and untrammeled the civil power must hold steadfast to its Ia wful authority. According to our views there has been a lit tie too much dictation from De- partment heads.
