Wonderful has been the success
of Rev. j. Corney and the good
people of st. James A. NJ. Il. church,

predictions that the golden crest Of
prosperity is slowly but with crrtain-
ty approaching the United States
in an incoming tide of better times,
the 47th annual convention Of the
American Bankers association en-,
tered upon its final session today.
Most important among the reports
was that Of resolutions committee,
embodying suggestions from the
executive council as well as from
six divisions of the association. "
The savings bank division last
night adopted resolutions deprecia-
ting agitation for an enlarged sys-
tenn of postal savings banks paying
an increased rate of interest, and
against any legislation to
that end, the resolution says:

that it is not a proper function OF
the government to engage in a COM
petitive system Of savings banking,
the expense of which is to be de-
frayed by taxation"
