POSTAL SAVINGS INtllKARINO
The war in Europe Is proving a
big boon to postal savings In this
country. From the very day hostil
ities opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to Increase by
leaps and bounds and withdrawal
fell off, a result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-informed
persons who, In their Imagination,
saw lines of feverish dpeosltors at
post-office pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the
boot-leg and body-belt depositories,
whence they came before Instructed
to Uncle Ram. Hut the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute con
fidence of the American citizen, re-i
gardless of the flag that first met his
eyes, In the ability and purpose of
the government to carry out its obli
gations, not only among the nations
of the earth, but with the humblest
clttten of our land.
Two Important results have fol
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pat
rons of our postal-savings system;
and enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need tor every availa
ble dollar Is pressing.
The growth of postal savings In
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has filled
an important gap between the tin
can depository and the factory pay
master. On July 1, when affairs
were running smoothly here and
abroad and the transmission of mon
ey across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditious, there was approximate
ly $43,000,000 of postal suvlngs
standing to the credit of about 388,
000 depositors. Since then over $10
000.000 of deposits have been added
and the number of depositors has In
creased enormously. This unprece
dented gain is the more striking
when it Is considered that the net
gain in the last three months Is larg
er .than the gain for the entire ll.scal
year 1914. Scores of offices have
done more postnl-savlngs business
since the war has been going on than
was done by them during the previ
ous existence of the service. The
increases are confined to no special
localities, but have been felt In ev
ery nook and corner of the country.
New York City alone made a gain In
September of more than a million,
while Drooklyn showed a relatively
big Increase. Chicago Reported ' a
larger gain In the past three months
than for the previous twelve months.
More than 7,000 new accounts were
opened during the period, bringing
the number of depositors In that city
up to over 21,000.
The unexpected increase in poBtal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting prob
lems which have called for the care
ful personal consideration of Post
master General Durleson and Gover
nor Dockery, Third Assistant Post
master General. But their task has
been lightened somewhat by the
promptness of depository banks in
furnishing additional security to
meet the abnormal deposits. A num
ber of the very largest banks in the
country, which have heretofore de
clined to qualify as depositories for
postal-savings funds, are now among
the eager applicants for them.

Doan's Kidney Pills have done
Bplendld work In this locality.
Have merited the unstinted praise
they have received.
Here's evidence of their value that
none can doubt.
It's testimony from this locality,
twice-told and well confirmed.
Such endorsements are unique in
the annuls of medicine.
Should convince the most skeptic
al Alliance reader.
George Huslck, Gordon, Nebr.,
says: "I had a great deal of trouble
from irregular passages of the kid
ney secretions and I also suffered
from attacks of lumbago. Often the
pain and lameness In my back was
so acute that I was unable to stoop
or do any kind of work. Doan's
Kidney Pills cured me in a short
time, and the cure has lasted. I am
glad to confirm the endrosement one
of my family gave Doan's Kidney
Pills in my behalf some time ago."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr. Buslck had. Foster-MU-burn

PRESIDENT AND PEACE
By Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Perhaps who knows? when President Wilson has finished his course as Chief Magistrate of this mifjlity Unuhli
and when historians com! to assign his place in the pantheon of fame, they will pass over the jrreat domestic measures of his
administration, "such as tariff revision, currency legislation, and so forth, and declare that his successful efforts to keep the
United Slates out of war constitute his clearest title 1o the gratitude, of his country.
In his famous first inaugural address, which has hecome a classic, and which every hoy and girl should commit to mt m
ory as a literary exorcise, Thomas .Jefferson stated our ideal relations with foreign nations in these words: " IV nee, commer c.
and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none" words filly spoken, and therefore "like apples of
gold in pictures of silvr-r."
That is the; sum and substance of our international creed, to which we have adhered without the shadow of turning. A
wiser or nobler creed no nation ever had.
Its latest exposition is found in the terse, luminous, emphatic, opportune neutrality message of President Woodrow
Wilson a proclamation which all good and sensible citize ns, of whatever pe rsuasion, political or religious, uphold and ap
plaud. Americans are; a peace-loving people.. We believe in .John Milton's fine saying: "IV;icc hath her victories no less re
nowned than war." President Wilson expressed with great delicacy and felicity the sentiments of all true Americans when
he tendered his kindly offices to the belligerent powers in order to stop the titanic struggle across the sea. Fortunate in his
coign of vantage, happy in the confidence of a powerful people, let us hope that he will succeed in his philanthropic endeav
ors, and thpt upon him will rest the blessing vouchsafed to the peacemakers in the Sermon on the Mount.
When a boy back in the hill country of Kentucky 1 attended an election for the first time and saw four men shot dur
ing the day. One man fired six bullets at another man, and, missing his intended victim, wounded an innocent bystander in
the leg. hi this astounding Old Worhl conflict, America is the innocent bystander, and from a natural desire not to be in
jured any more, as well as from motives of friendship and humanity, we wish to see a speedy end to hostilities.
The first reason why we dpsire peace in trans-Atlantic countries is that we are all akin to somebody over there, and
our hearts go out to our kindred in their sore' distress. This applies to us all, whether our ancestors came over 1500 years ago,
as mine did, or at a later time. It applies with particular force to our 10,000,000 citizens who were born in the countries now
in battle array.
Another reason why we want peace is that the war has disturbed almost every business in which any of our people are
engaged, entailing koitoa-, suffering and want on millions of Americans who had no hand whatsoever in precipitating the
awful situation.
Who started is no man seems to know. What it is about appears eejually obscure. In his celebrated poem, "Blen
heim," Southey caused old Caspar to give his grandson, Peterkin, a glowing account of the battle, whereupon the boy pro
pounded the pertinent and far-resounding question, "What good came of it at last t" a question which has not been answer
ed to this day. So, perhaps, it will be with this war the bloodiest in all the hoary register of time.
No matter w ho got it up, no matter w hat is is about, we fondly hope and .fervently pray for its early conclusion, not
only for the sake of humanity and civilization, but for the sake of our own prosperity and happiness. We take both an al
truistic and selfish view of it.
In 1823, when the Greeks rebelled against the Turks, Daniel Webster in a memorable speech appealed to "the moral
sentiment of the world," which has never been appealed to in vain.
The noblest words that ever fell from martial lips were General Grant's "Let us have peace!"
Good men and good women will continue their unselfish and humane labors for peace till this stupendous struggles is
eslosed and until
"The war drums throb no longer,
And the battle flags are furled
In the Parliament of Man
The Federation of the World."
