Insidious

This removes the only sound
objection to the operation Of the
Postal Savings System, in the
opinion of those Senators and
Representatives in Congress
who have refused to swallow
the inSidious propag ganda
against Postal Savings banks,
which has been broadcast by
those banking interests op-
posed to the Postal Savings
System.
Only last May, President
Roosevelt's Third Assistant Post
master General, in a letter to a
United States Senator, said:
"TO lay the ills of the
banking world at the door Of
the Postal SGvinss System 10
unworr0nted. Had it not been
for the Postal Savings System,
this country Would hdUe been
honeycombcd with hidden
money"
In this system the plain peo-
pie of this country repose com.
plete confidence because, after
more than 20 years experience,
they have learned that, in the
words of the Postal Savings Act
itself:
"The faith of the United
States is solen1nly pledged to

we're having a tough time of
it. We don't know the half!
What must life have been in
those first days when the world
and the human race were
making their start together!
Half-baked earth still shaking
and erupting; half-baked people
still Skulking and rioting.
You think you have worries

have lived in those dark days
when David was King Of the
Jews?
There was a jeweled crown
on David's head, but do you
think that eased the burning
terror in his heart? From
king to slave, all hearts held
terror? Just such terror as we

ONCE OVERS

In all religions you may find
higher types than you show by
your life.
Religion and nationality, in
the cause of justice, should
never be used in favor of or
against a people or an indi-
Vidual.
There are as many renegades
and persons of shady connec-
tions in the nationality and
religion you represent as in
any other in the world.
Class prejudice is bad enough
but national or religious preju-
dice are worse.
To understand the back
ground and teachings Of ma
ton or religion is to respect the
individual who honestly lives
according to his lights.

A Mothers Appeal

Two curious and dramatic
items in the news from far off
Africa: In British East Africa
the authorities, acting on newly
discovered evidence, are search
ing for the lost skull of the
Sultan Mkwawa of Tanganyika..
It was King Mkwawa who re-
belled against the Germans in
the late war and committed
suicide when on the point Of
being captured by them. The
Sultan's people believe that
they are doomed to endless
calamities unless the skull Of
Mkwawa is found and returned
to them.
One Of the most extraordi.
nary articles of the Treaty Of
Versailles was made up Of these
curt lines: Germany will hand
over to his Brittanic Majesty's
government the skull Of the
Sultan Mkwawa, which was re-
moved from the protectorate Of
German East Africa and taken
to Germany" But Germany had
always maintained that the
skull of Mkwawa was never
taken from his country.
From Bechuanaland came the
poignant appeal of a, black
queen n-mother to King George
of England. T h e DOWager
Queen of Bamangwato pleaded
with the English king to re.
lease her son, Chief Tshekedi.
A British admiral, guarded by
marines, had tried the chief for
flogging a bad white man, found
him guilty and sentenced him
to exile.
Whereupon the queen-mother
sent her appeal across 5000
miles of mountain and desert
and sea: "Oh king. release for
me the boy! I am undone and
the tribe is undone. This is my
weeping, my master. Oh, let it
be regarded"
Striking, beautiful, with the
flavor of the Old Testament Of
King Solomon or David, the
singer. And the king released
the boy!

It will come as a painful
surprise to the plain people Of
the United States to hear that
the Roosevelt Administration is
seriously considering asking
Congress to abolish every postal
savings bank in the United
States.
This is what the bankers of
this country have been trying
to get the Government to do
ever since public sentiment
finally forced the Government
to override their objections and
give to the people the benefits
that they enjoy under the
splendid system Of postal saw
ings banks.

Avoid Narrow Prejudice


Do you belong to the small
calibered class that objects to
individuals because Of their
nationality or their religion?
Do you allow this prejudice
to so control you that when the
names of certain persons are
brought up for membership in
some Of the organizations to
which you belong, you voice
strong objections?
Often it would be impossible
for you to present a valid rea-
son for your objections.
You are unfair to let a mat
ter Of religion Of nationality
come before the honor and
credit that any person may
merit.
In all nationalities there are
as high minded types as you
represent.

BUCKS HILL NEEDS WATER SERVICE
Residents B elie,v e the Present Opportune Time
 to Install Main

Residents of the Bucks Hill sec tion of the city are understood to
 be formulating plans for present. ing to CWA officials a proposition that a water main be installed for that section. The city water main extends as far as the foot of Bucks Hill but residents who live beyond that point are required to depend upon private wells for their water supply. ,- Those behind the movement point out that the project could adequate ly supply enough work for a large crew of men who would be kept busy for a considerably length of time. It is reported that prominent residents of the section are to pre- sent the proposition to local CWA officials so that it might be put to
 state CWA authorities for ap- proval.
 Leaders in the movement point out that the job could be done at a negligible cost to the city which would only be required to supply the pipe necessary for the job, the
 labor to be paid for out of the CWA funds. They also argue that
 the job will, have to be done event.
 ually and that now would be the
 best time to bring it about. | Outside of private wells for resi- dents of the section there is a large artesian well, recently installed which supplies the Bucks Hill school with water. When the plans of the community materialize 1t Is understood they will be presented
 before the proper officials for con- sideration.
