Among the Important twentieth cen
tury reforms pressing to tho front Is the
establishment of postal savings banks.
Postal savings banks nro by no means
an untried experiment. They have been
established for years In European coun
tries, notably In England, Austria and
Germany, to encourage thrift nnd econ
omy among wage-workers and safe
guard their linrd-earned snvlngs. Inci
dentally they have also proved to be an
Incentive to patriotism In giving each
depositor a direct personal Interest In
the preservation of the national credit
and the stability of government.
President McK I nicy's first postmaster
general, .Mr. (Jury, who was thoroughly
familiar with savings banks, managed
under private ownership nnd control, en
dorsed the postal savings bank system
as among the most desirable adjuncts of
the Postolllce department. The Indis
position of congress to carry out his
recommendations is chlelly due to the
Influence exerted by Interests that fear
such banks would transfer a large vol
ume of private savings bank deposits
to (lie government depositories.
Among the most earnest champions of
postal savings banks Is Senator William
K. Mason of Illinois, who has endeav
ored during several sessions to secure
favorable consideration of a bill looking
to the early Inauguration of a postal
savings bank system In this country anil
who can be depended on to press for
ward the measure In the coming con
gress with his usual vigor. During the
coming session, ns chairman of the sen
ate committee on postolllces and post
roads, tho Illinois senator will be more
potential In securing attention among
his associates.
Such great Innovations, no matter
how popular or Imperatively demanded,
are not to he carried through congress
at the llrst onset, but require persistent
and steady effort by which alone the
objections and barriers raised can be
overcome. Fortunately for the friends
of the postal savings bank, they have in
Senator .Mason u champion possessed of
Indomitable courage and tireless activ
ity, who If properly supported will keep
up the light until success crowns his
effort.
AS AMElllCAX .MKItCUAXT MAllISE.
"Next In advantage to having tho
thing to sell Is to have the convenience
to carry-it to the buyer. We must en
courage our merchant marine. We
must have more ships. They must be
under the American tlag, built and
manned and owned by Americans.
These will not only be profitable In n
commercial sense; they will be, messen
gers of peace and unity wherever they
go." This was said by the lato President
McKlulcy lu his address nt Buffalo, In
which he also urged that there should
be direct commercial lines from our
vast fields of production, to tho Holds of
consumption thnt wo have but barely
touched.
President Koosevolt Is In favor of this
policy, but there Is uncertainty regard
ing hlu position toward the subsidy
plan. As to this ho has not placed
himself on record nnd perhaps will not
do so beforo sending his message to
congress In December. The Washing
ton correspondent of tho Now York
Journal of Commerce says thero seems
authority for tho statement that tho
president favors the proposition of his
predecessor that direct commercial lines
(should bo established between the east
ern coast of the United States and the
ports In South America, and tho Pacific
coast ports and Central America, South
America and Mexico. There seems
equally good authority for the state
ment that Mr. Itoosevelt believes In tho
encouraging of the merchant marine, as
urged by Mr. McKlnley. But how he
stands lu regard to the subsidy propo
sition has not been disclosed and the
advocates of that policy are said to be
somewhat anxious respecting tthe presi
dent's attitude. If It should trnnsplre
thnt ho Is not In favor of subsidies It
will bo quite useless to renew the ef
fort to pass what Is known as tho
Pnyne-IIanna bill, unless tho president
should signify his willingness to accept
the action of congress In the matter.
Thero Is probably no doubt that the
house wtll pass the measure, even If It
should be found thnt the president is
not in favor of subsidies, but executive
opposition would make It extremely dif
ficult to get tho bill through the sennte.
While there Is no doubt that had tho
subsidy bill been passed by the last
congress Mr, McKlnley would hnvo ap
proved It, It Is a fact that he made no
distinct declaration In favor of subsi
dies. In his last annual message he
said: "American vessels during the
past three years have carried about t
per cent of our exports nnd Imports.
Foreign ships should carry tho least,
not the greatest, part of American trade.
The remarkable growth of our steel In
dustries, the progress of shipbuilding
for tho domestic trade. and our steadily
maintained expenditures for the' nnvy
have created an opportunity to place
the United States lu the llrst rnnk of
commercial, maritime powers. Besides
realizing a proper national aspiration
this will mean tho establishment and
healthy growth along our coasts of a
distinctive national Industry, expanding
the field for the profitable employment
of labor and capital. It will Increase
tho transportation facilities and reduce
freight charges on the ynst volume of
products brought from the Interior to
the seaboard for export anil will
strengthen an arm of the national de
fense upon which the founders of the
government anil their successors have
relied." lie urged Immediate action by
congress on measures to promote Amer
ican shipping and foreign, trade and re
ferred lo his annual message of lf!i'.t, In
which he said he was satisfied "the
judgment of the country favors the
policy of aid to our merchant marine."
It Is fairly to bo Inferred from this thnt
Mr. McKlnley was favorable to the sub
sidy bill nnd undoubtedly would have
approved It had It been passed by con
gress. Tho very Important, question of build
ing tip an Amerlcnn merchant marine,
In which every section of tho country Is
Interested, should be determined by the
Fifty-seventh congress. It Is a ques
tion which In Its relntlon to the,cxpan
slon of our foreign commerce is second
to none other.
OXE I'A rjxa EXPOMTIOS.
Has any great fair In tho United States
ever paid directly? Wo can recall no such
Incident. Ask tho men who put up funds
for tho Philadelphia Centennial, tho Chi
cago Columbian, or any other of tho Inter
national expositions, and they will report
that, bo far as direct and Immediate re
sults were concerned, all were failures.
Chicago Is stilt suffering from tho effects
of her stupendous achievement. Washing
ton Post.
At least one grent fair In tho United
States has paid both directly and Indi
rectly. The one great fair that stands
out above all others ns successful from
a flnanelnl ns well as from oUior stand
points Is tho Transmlsslsslppl exposition
held nt Omaha In 180S.
While that exposition did not attnln
to the stupendous proportions of tho
World's Columbian fair, It Is conceded
to have excelled. In many .features tho
greatest expositions previously held In
this country. It enjoyed active partici
pation by thirty-three states and Its
government exhibit surpassed all those
seen lu expositions up to thnt time. It
Is tho only groat exposition up to
date financed without n bond issue nnd
paying back over DO per cent of the
money contributed by stock subscribers.
Thero Is no truth whatever In the
assertion that Chicago Is still suffering
from the effects of Its great achievement
of 3SD3. The World's Columblnn fair
transformed Chicago from a provincial
to a world city. Its permanent popula
tion was Increased by more than 000,000
through the Impetus given to public Im
provements nnd private enterprise. It
held Chicago up against the terrific cy
clone of panic and depression that
swept the continent from ocean to
ocean by pouring more thnn $100,000,000
Into Ita commercial arteries. Without'
tho( exposition Chicago would have been
crippled almost beyond recovery nnd
fallen behind in the race for metropol
itan .supremacy. Tho temporary re
liction caused by tho closing of tho
gates of the exposition was of com
paratively uo moment.
While Omaha's exposition did not
have to face a panic, It had to go
through the trying ordeal of tho Span
ish war, which monopolized populnr
attention nnd deprived It of pntronnge
It would have had lu a year of peace.
Those who have given the subject more
than passing thought will ngreo with
us that great expositions can bo made
to pay If properly planned nud mnn
nged on business principles.
EKGIiAXD'S XEir THOUM.E.
England has another trouble on her
hands, this time with Turkey, nnd It Is
quite possible thnt It will nssume a very
grave character. The Issue grows (out
of certain aggressive movements on the
part of the Turkish government which
threaten British Interests in southern
Asia nnd on tho Persian gulf and the
fact that British war vessels are being
sent to the gulf Indicates thnt the sit
uation Is regarded as serious. Of course
Turkey professes not to have any de
signs against British Interests in thnt
quarter, but her military operations
seem to discredit such profession nnd
nt any rate Great Britain could not
afford to take no notice of such opera
tions and permit Turkey to gain a posi
tion which would place British Interests
In peril. It Is quite possible, nlso, that
Turkey's, courso lu this may be Inspired
by other powers. It Is not easy to be
lieve that Russia would enter Into any
sort of an understanding or arrangement
with Turkey Inimical to British Inter
ests, yet It Is not Impossible In view. of
Russia's well known desire to secure a
port on the Persian gulf. Moreover that
power is not Incapable of waking an
alliance even with Turkey If It should
deem. It to be to its ndvantngo to do so.
A London corrospomlent said In n re
cent letter that the isolation of Britain
grows apace as problems of ever-ln-creasing
complexity press upon tho at
tention of her rulers. The new element
of disturbance lu the Persian gulf may
causo Great Britain a great deal of trou
ble. For some months past rumor has
been busy on the subject of Russian
ambitions In that quarter of tho world
and It appears evident that tho rivalry
of Russia, which has been so successful
In China in tho teeth of treaty engage
ments, Is about to enter a domain which
has hitherto been regarded as a British
Interest If, as is possible, however Im
probable It may seem, Russia has In
spired tho" Turkish movement, It will not
bo n!)andoned and England may have
a serious conflict with Turkey on her
hands. If there is uo such understand
ing, ou the other hand, It Is not likely
that Turkey will oiler any very obstinate
resistance to Great Britain's demnnds,
since she Is In no condition to carry on
unaided a conflict, with Grent Britain.
England's new dllllculty may be speed
ily settled. Perhaps It Is not so serious
ns appears on the surface, or as Is
naturally to be Inferred from the fact
that a strong naval forco is being con
centrated lu tliu Perslnn gulf, but
suggests that there are perils besetting
Great Britain's world-wide Interests
which call for her utmost vigilance and
tho maintenance of her lighting power
nt Uio highest standard.
UEWlMi TIIK UUItAZS,
It Is understood to be tho Intention of
the ndmlnlstratlon to endeavor to es
tablish reciprocity between the United
States ami. Cuba prior to the Inaugura
tion of an Independent' government lu
tho Island. Of course uo commercial
treaty can be made with Cuba until n
government shall have been established
there, which will not be for eight or
nine mouths and possibly a longer time.
But It Is pointed out that there can be
reciprocity In ndvanco of the Island hav
ing its own government If congress Is
disposed to grant It. So far as hv.
Cuban customs regulations nro con
cerned, the War department, under the
military control, can make them what It
pleases, but It cannot niter the tariff
duties of the United States on Cuban
products coming here. That lies alto
gether with congress.
What It Is proposed to do Is to nsk
congress to modify the duties on Cuban
sugar and tobacco and with this In
view tho officials of tho War depart
ment nro gathering statistics to bo sub
mitted to congress. It Is announced
thnt thero will bo ready by the time con
gress meets In December n complete
statement of the articles of American
manufacture used In Cuba, so that an
estimate can bo made of tho advantages
reduction of duties upon them would
give. The probable Increase In the
consumption of these articles, If n reduc
tion In the Cuban tariff Is made, will
bo estimated nnd used In the argument
for a reciprocal reduction of duties upon
Cuban sugar and tobacco In tho United
States. It will be urged that tho
United States will stand In Its own
light If reciprocal trade arrangements
nro not lmmedlutely mnde nnd will run
tho risk of losing the Cuban trade which
of right belongs to It
Tho Interesting fact In this Is that the
administration Is favorable to some
thing being done to help the Cubans and
Is preparing to exert Its Inlluenec to this
cud. Thero Is no Intimation as to
what the ndmlnlstratlon regards as
necessary or expedient In the matter of
tariff concessions, but they would bo
consldornblo If It favors the suggestions
made by tho representatives of the
Cuban Interests. It Is probably safe
to assume that congress will not be
willing to go ns far ns this. Thnt some
tar I if concession will bo made to Cuban
sugar and tobacco Is doubtless assured,
but It will be regulated with roferenco
to retaining such protection for tho do
mestic sugur and tobacco Interests as
shall bo necessary to save them from
ruin. This is a matter to bo dealt
with In nn entirely practical way, unin
fluenced by any sentimental considera
tions. As wo have said hertofore,
while there Is a general desire that
Cuba shall develop and prosper, we
are not called upon by any duty or
obligation to better the condition of tho
Cubans at tho expense of our own peo
ple. Americnus who nro engaged In
tho sugar and tobacco industries aro
entitled to consideration and wo do not
doubt they will receive It from n re
publican congress.
THE IlEPUHLWAX COVXTY TICKET.
Tho ticket nominated by tho repub
lican county convention will commend
Itself to the support of nil loyal re
publicans. The cnndldntes nre nearly, all well
known by all classes of our citizens and
It will not bo necessary to Introduce
them Individually to the voters of Doug
las county. Geographically the ticket
could not have been better distributed.
The various elements and fnctlons arc
recognized by representative men whoso
services to the party constitute a pass
port to promotion and rewnrd. With the
genernl drift of republicanism In thetr
favor their election may be regarded as
fairly assured.
Nothing more handsome, In tho form
of a special newspaper edition has ever
been Issued than tho Jubilee number
of the New York Times, commemorat
ing Its fiftieth anniversary. Aside from
external appearance and typographical
beauty tho souvenir is repleto with a
most Interesting historical review of n
fifty years' honorable and active career
of that progressive journal. Tho very
fact that It has been accorded public
patronage through a period of half a
century nttests not only tho stability
and substantial foundation of the
Times, but the ability and honesty with
which It has been steadfastly con
ducted. The Boers have appealed to The
Hague peace tribunal for arbitration of
their differences with Great Britain.
Tho world at large would certainly like
to see arbitration for humanity's sake,
but the chances nre remote. After tho
blood nud treasure thnt Great .Britain
has expended It Is not likely to sacrifice
prestige by Indirectly conceding Its In
ability to accomplish Its often an
nounced purpose of carrying the wnr
forward to a conclusion.
Citizens of nn Oklahoma town have
combined to drive the negroes out of the
place. Denunciation of anarchists Is
Impotent when people who would re

anarchist who commits murder nnd that
of tho man who denies to his fellow man
tho rights which the law gives him
differs only In degree nud both lend to
the same end.
Mr. Bryan says he Is opposed to any

constitution ,ln u moment of heedless
ness. If Mr. Bryan's Influence with the
Virginia democrats Is still potent per
haps ho can persuade them to restore
tho free speech clause.
Tho ranking admiral of the Spanish

President Roosevelt gave somo advlco a
few years ago "How to Get On In Llfo"
to a young law student, which Is so char
acteristic of the soldlcr-Btatesman and so
pertinent that It Is worth reproducing
now.
This Is what tho strenuous Roosovclt ad
vised the wavering young lawyer to do: "If
I wero you I would hang out my shingle
and get a case. I don't cnie how you get
It. Your own wits ought to find ono case
at least which no other Inwycr hns. I
wouldn't take n Justice shop case, cither.
I'd find a enso that was right up In the
regular courts and which possessed some
merit. I wouldn't take It for nothing,
either, or on a contingency. I would have
a decent fee attached to It. In other
words, I would hnvo ns many respectable
features attached to tho caso as possible
under the circumstances.
"Having got that case." continued Roose
velt, "I would try it as if it wero the last
case I ever expected to have or which would
ever bo In tho courts. I would not makn a
nuisance of myself, fou know enough to
avoid that, but you enn be so Insistent that
you, will win the respect of evervonc who
In any way comes Into conncclVjn with the
trial. Put all of yourself In the case. Get
every side of It nnd above nil things ham
mer It Into your client by the force of your
notions that your Integrity Is above re
proach, "When you get done with that case vou
will havo a reputation that many lawyors
devoto years in other ways trying to ob
tain. You will find thnt a second case is
certain to come to you, whether you loso
or win tho first one,
"I would treat the second case." he con
tinued, "Just as I did tho first one. Live
and act as If there wns never such a enso
In existence beforo nnd master It lust ns
you aro required to master your studies nt
tho law school. If you find yourself weak
ening nt all use tho spur and tho whip un
til you havo created an enthusiasm In your
work that Imparts Itself to client, court
nnd Jury and results In your victory."

O. S. Warden In Success.
One oi tho worst habits formed early In
life Is that of borrowing trouble, of looking
on tho black side of things. It Is much
easier to talk down than to talk up. Wo
nre, naturally, pessimistic. Ono of tho best
of success helps Is to acqulro early In
youth a hnblt of thinking that tho best,
not the worst, will happen; that we are
not poor, miserable creatures, hounded on
every hand by the enemies of our llfo nnd
happiness, but that wo wero mado to bo
happy, to be free from harassing cares,
anxieties, forebodings; that wo wero not
mado to worry or to project black pictures,
but to create bright nnd cheerful ones.
Wo should no moro allow a discordant or
or a dark picture In the mind than wo
would allow a thief In our home. Wo
should remember that such thoughts nro
worso than thieves, because they steal nwny
our comfort, our happiness, our content
mcnt. Theso black enemies, theso ills
cordant guests, leave their scars and stains
nnd slimes upon tho homo that Is beautiful
within, ft Is almost Imposslbto to exclude
them when they once enter, but It Is com
pnrntlvcly cay to keep them out when we
once learn tho secret of excluding them.
Wo should learn thnt theso enemies have
no right to lntrudo themselves upon ou
consciousness. Treat them as trespassers
eject them Instnntly nnd do not nllow them
to paint their black Images upon tho mind
Do not nllow yourself to read, to hear,
or to see anything which will produce dls
cord or disturb your penco of mind and
harmony.
A famous Englishman said that a habit of

TIIK'IIACIIRI.CIU AS A FAMILY.
An liKrrrnHiiir Addition to tlir Gloss
nry of I.t-Knl Ilcllnltlons.
Now York Times.
Tho conclusion of Mnglstrato Pool, after
patiently listening to arguments on both
sides, that "a bacholor la not a family," and
that becauso of tho exemption of his domes
tic organization, which may includo n valot,
cook ana servant, rrom tho legal classlflca
tfon which makes him tho tenant of a tone
mcnt when ho lives In a multlplo apart
ment building and has his meats cooked at
home, a bachelor apartment houso may bo
built In violation of tho provisions of tho
law relating to tenements, Is nn Interesting
addition to tho glossary of legal definitions.
What Is a family? Obviously, a man and
his wlfo nnd their children, together with
such dependent poor relations as may bo
domiciled with them nnd such servants as
they may employ. As to tho legal status of
such a unit of social organization thero can
bo no doubt. But let us follow it through
tho usual courso of evolutionary develop
ment nnd natural change. Tho wifo dies, as
good women sometimes do, and tho husband
becomes construcfvcly a bacholor In that
ho Is unmarrtcd and has tho legal status of
ono who has never married, so far as wo
mcnktnd aro concerned. The children grow
up nnd leavo homo and their placo In tho
organization 1b taken by others wards, It
may be, or persons acccptablo for compan
loushlp. When does such an organization
ceaso to bo n family? To dlssolvo tho fam
ily It Is necessary that tho head of It shall
go off by himself and live alone. Tho best
definition of a family of which wo havo
knowledge, with exact refcrenco to its ety
mology, Is an organization of persons under
one head who llvo In ono house. A bachelor,
man or woman, who maintains a servant
(famulus) and lives In n houso (faama) Is
tho head of a family nnd the moro servants
be maintains the larger his family.
It Is not profitable, however, to split hairs
In reviewing a ruling of his honor, Mr.
Magistrate Pool. But It may bo pertinent
to ask what the tenement house law is for
why It prescribes certain conditions as
necessary In a dwelling designed for a mul
tlplo tenancy and whether bachelors and
their families need less air and light for
health and comfort than other people do.

SfitTLAll SHOTS AT TUB 1HILPIT.
Washington Post: The New York
preacher who speculated In stocks has bre.i
censured by his congregation. As he dldn t
lose, tho enso Is a strange ono. Perhaps
he made the mlstako of not letting th
members In on his good thing.
Boston Globe: A girl of 20, reared In (lie
city of Baltimore, said In court Friday
that she did not understand tho nature of
an oath, had never been to a church or
Sundny school, had nover heard of God or
heaven and did not know of tho promlm
of Immortality. How much did Baltimore
give last year for tho support of foreign
missions?
Chicago Post: In Frankfort, Ky., the
burning question now Is whether an Afrlcnn
Baptist church shall bn nllowed to face
tho capltol. Governor Beckham threatens
to move tho stnto building It tho houso of
worship goes up. If tho church can with
stand tho Influenco of tho capltol, the lat
ter should bo willing to get along with the
religious structure. From whnt wo know
of capltols our sympathies nro all with the
church.
Buffalo Express: The council of ths
Protestant Episcopal dloccso of Milwaukee
has voted In favor of changing tho name
of tho church to tho "Amerlcnn Catholic
Church In tho United States." There Is a
moro or less strong movement nmong Epis
copalians throughout tho country to make
tho change nud tho matter will come be
foro tho congress to bn held next month
In San Francisco. As no practical benefit
enn follow such n chnngo It Is not apparent
that tt would be wiso to mako It.
New York World: Tho American dele
gates to tho Ecumenical Methodist con
ference, which hns jUBt been sitting In
London, found wino nnd beer served on tho
tables of English Wesleynn ministers. To
tho remarks which somo of them made
on tho matter tho Rev. John Bond, secre
tary of tho conference, replied: "My an
swer Is that this Is a free country. Amer
ica Is not. Wo reserve tho right to drink
alcoholic liquors In moderation If we wish.
The American dictum would bo ruled out
by Wo3ley, who drank wlno to the end of
his life." Mr. Bond's response Is not a
special plea for wlno and beer nt tho table.
It Is n protest ngainst church command
ments which, ns ho shows by tho cited
oxnmple of Wesley, may be bluer than the
edicts nnd prnctlces of the church fathers
themselves. In a bronder way It Is a pro
test ngainst tho tyranny of seeking to crimp
tho wills and tastes of all mon to a pat
tern decided upon by a few.
