MISR fcTIf K. KSTA TO.V. Opposition of special Interests to the proposed postal savings bank Is taking the form of a campaign of misrepre sentation. Letters, circulars and appeals are being sent out from some source that does not care to disclose Its Iden tity with a view to manufacturing a shower of -protests upon congress, de signed to make the members believe that the postal savings banks is ex tremely unpopular. One of these an onymous circulars reads as follows: ' At this point a letter to your congress man Is In order. Write your senator also. In all letters place special emphaals on the fact that the business public will Buffer by any scheme that turns money away from the local community and tends to congest It In the reserve centers. The intention Is to persuade people that there la some such dangerous scheme covered up in the postal sav ings bank measure, when nothing of the kind is contemplated. The postal savings bank measure has been made the special order for consideration in the senate for Mon day, December 14, which explains why people are being importuned to write to their congressman and senators at this time. Section 11 of the bill, as reported back from the senate commit tee, requires the postmaster general to re-deposlt the funds at a higher rate of Interest In national banks, and con tinues: Such deposits shall be made In the na tional banks In the states and territories In which the funds are received and when possible In the counties In which such funds are received nnl, as far as practicable. In the immediate vicinity of the place In which the funds are scAfecelved. Where It Is not practicable to deposit Such funds In the counties, states or territories where they are received they may be deposited In the national banks at the nearest practica ble ' point thereto, or Invested In state, territorial or county or municipal bonds, to be selected by the postmaster general, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general. It goes without Baying, therefore, that "every letter written to Washing ton on the theory that the postal sav ings hank is "a scheme that drains money away from the local community and tends to congest it in the reserve centers" is based on deliberate mis representation. The proposed postal savings bank will send no more of the money to reserve cepters than would the deposit of the same money in the local national bank. No congressman nor Benator should permit himself to be fooled by any protests sent him in response to these misleading circulars. A PROSPERITY FACTOR. "The people who kept their heads" are given credit, in an Omaha letter to the New York Evening Post, for hav ing contributed one Important element to the certainty of a revival of com-. mercla.1 .'-v activity and prosperity throughout 'the' eouhtry. According to the letter, tho western merchants be- Lgau. retrenching a .year, ago, . when the first signs of Industrial depression ap peared in the east, and have since been buying only for Immediate needs, using up their surplus stocks and paving the way for meeting obligations with the jobbers and the bankers without caus ing themselves any great embarrass ment. As a result of this wise policy, the counters of the country merchants are practically empty. Stocks are away below the normal basis and, with the farmers receiving returns from their crops, the demand has increased be yond the available supply. Conse quently the merchants are In the field with liberal buying orders and the ef fect Is being felt in the mills and job bing houses of the east. The Mer chants have practically no spring or summer goods left over and orders for these lines assure activity In all the mills for the coming winter months. The consumers have played their part, t0. ,n this reduction of surplus stocks. The generous buying In 1906 and the early part of 1907 had sup plied the consumers with more unworn clothing and other staples than the west had ever before possessed. Dur ing the last twelve months the family buying has been light and the clothes closets now need replenishing. This makes 'the demand on the local mer chant stronger and, with the crop re turns in sight, or In the bank, and the feeling that the depression In the east has been permanently lightened, with prospectgof being fully relieved, the omnivorous west is buying again. wltb the result that it is expected by mid winter that trade will be more nearly normal than It has been for a year. .'DEPOSIT GUARASTT AyD POSTAL SAVtXQS. Supporters of the democratic plan of guarantying bank deposits are giv ing much attention to the story coming from Oklahoma of the surprising in crease in the deposits of a bank which had surrendered its national charter iu order to take advantage of the de posit guaranty plan under the state law. A stockholder, speaking of the Incident, is thus quoted: "About $25,000 came from the other three banks, two of them nationals," he replied, "and we received 118.000 from Missouri, Kan sas and Arkansaa, sent here probably be cause of the gua?anty law. Then for the rest, look at this." He showed a package of worn bills, all brought In by a farmer well outside the town. "I know that none of this waa ever In a bank since he gath ered it little by little there la 114,00 in that bunch." Up in central Kansas lasl week a man sold a farm and went early one morning to deliver the dued. The firmer who was the buyer eicused himself and went out o tha barn: he waa watched and waa seen to pkk a tin ran from a corner of the hog lot and take from It I1.S00 In bills. I,and agents aay the experience of receiving pack ages of musty bills, evidently buried for a time, la not unusual, indicating that large sums are probably thus concealed among the farming communities. The effectiveness of the argument supposed to be embraced in this state ment Of conditions is destroyed by the showing made by Postmaster General postal j Mever, that the adoption of the savings bank system would furnish facilities and attractions to these money hoarders to place their savings In the government postofflces. General Meyer shows that there are 1.543 sav ings banks In the union, with deposits aggregating 3, 60,66S,945, but over 8 per cent of this great amount .is contained in the savings banks of four teen states, leaving less than 2 per cent in the remaining states and territories. The postmaster general accepts this as evidence that there are now no ade quate facilities for saving, and he con tends that if the 61.000 postofflces In the United States are designated as postal savings banks, hundreds of mil lions of dollars now hidden away In trunks and in secret places will be brought to the savings banks and thus placed in circulation. The postmaster general shows that in the last year money orders, payable to the purchasers themselves, were bought to the amount of $8,104,447. The purchasers of these orders paid fees to the amount of $25,000, simply to feel safe In their possession. Money orders to the value of $100,000,000 were also bought during the year and sent to foreign countries, most of It representing the savings of foreign worklngmen who are familiar with the postal savings bank system In their own countries and who have confidence in no other security. The adoption of the postal savings system would end all question among the timid of the safety of their deposits and would place millions in circulation that are now In hiding. The adoption of the plan Is more Important than any untested and untried guaranty deposit plan that hat yet been proposed. S HOWlO' A M1SSOVRIAN. Champ Clark of Missouri, congress man, lecturer, statesman and democrat, woke up the wrong passenger the other day when he'began quizzing Mr. A. F. Call of California on the tariff ques tion, at the hearings before the ways and means committee. Mr. Call 'v had been explaining that the duty on' fruits should be retained and that California fruits would be driven from the mar kets If they were brought Into compe tition with the citrus fftllts from coun tries where the scale of. wagea is very low. Then this conversation ensued: Mr. Clark How long have you been In the fruit business in California? Mr. Call Twelve years. Mr. Clark Has the cost of production In creased or diminished? Mr. Call The cost has Increased, Mr. Clark What made it Increase? -: Mr. Call The Increase In the price of la bor. Mr. Clark Have you ever mado a study of the proposition that there ever would come a time when the' California fruit In due try would become self-sustaining with out, a. protective lerur; ana so, wnenr Mr. Call There will be one time when they will have to do It, and onlje one, and that Is when the democratic party comes In and wipes out the tariff and the cost of labor is reduced to 25 cents a day. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Clark You think that is an answer? Mr. Call I think that Is a square answer. That Is the only time it will come when the cost of labor is reduced to 26 cents a day. - Mr. Clark I think It was Sn impertinent kind of stump speech. Mr. Call I do not think so. Mr. Clark The theory of protection as propounded by Henry Clay was that It pro tected infant Industries and the time would come when they would get to be self-sustaining. .Do you think the time will ever come when me caiirornia iruu industry shall stsnd on its own legs without protec tion? Mr. Call Never until the labor cost Is re duced to the level of Europe. Mr. Clark You have got to keep up this thing always, then? Mr. Call Yes; unless you want to pay labor -o centa a day. Mr. Clark Do you pay the Chinese and Japs as much as tha American labor? Mr. Call No, sir; IS cents less. Mr. Clark Everybody uses Japs who can? Mr. Call No, sir: nobody uses them who can get along without them. Congressman Clark Is faced with the proposition that always rises up to haunt free trade democrats when they seek to put their attractive theories into active practice. When such ef forts are made it is usually found that the protective tariff system enables American growers and manufacturers to pay American wages and continue in business with a fair profit to them selves. It js also usually shown that the first effect of the reduction of a tariff on an article on which a protective tariff is needed Is felt by the working man. Even a free trade democrat like Mr. Clark will hardly be willing to see the developing citrus fruit trade of Cal ifornia wiped out by forcing it into competition with growers who have the financial advantage of the beggarly wages paid the Italian peasants and the West Indian peons. The fact that Thanksgiving day found charity workers in Omaha searching for persons on whom to be stow their bounty proves the progresf of the community In recent years. Many can remember Thanksgiving days when the movement was the other way round. Reports brought in by traveling men who make Nebraska territory are to the effect that the dealers In the smaller communities of the state are already enjoyiug a holiday trade such as they never knew before. The pros perity of the Nebraska farmer is sub stantial. The democratic city administration Is -beginning to boast of how cheaply it has run the affairs of the city. There certainly nas been a remarkable econ omy in service since Mayor Jim and his cohorts took charge. Mr. Bryan has railed upon Tammany to explain the falling off of his vote in New York City. The answer is that Tammany had a raadidate for the pres idency that It did not like very well. The south has lost one Its big, brainy, progressive cWieus in the death of Joseph Bryan, editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Ills work as an editor and a man was a credit to his atate and will form his enduring monument. De flagan says that Count Boni is "an improper person" and Boni retorts De Sagan Is "a degenerate."

Cartalllnar the Speaker's Power.,, ' Indianapolis News. ' president-elect Taft draws a line be tween the duties and limitation of - a president-elect and a president, as far aa politics are concerned. That Is a correct view of the case. A president-elect may do many things In the way of suggestion or action which the president of the whole country, and therefore nonpartisan, may not do. One -of Mr. Taft's auggestlons. It is understood, is that the house commit tee on rules be elected by the members of the house instead of appointed by the speaker, and that its membership consist of thirteen or fifteen. Instead of five aa now. It Is thought this plan would tend to make the rules more liberal and less arbitrary. It certainly would be a cur tailment of the power of the speaker. POLITICAL.

Tha democratic candidate for governor of Connecticut spent $33,000 In the last cam paign, while his republican opponent spent 123,000 more. The Hartford Tlmea says the total spent In the state was not lass than 1150,000. The question whether Oregon legislators will obey the mandate of the primaries or we'sh on the United States, senator3hlp is provoking discussion outside of the state.

Brown, patrolman, after a whirlwind canvass, has won the j republican nomination for mayor and is said to Stand a good chance of election. Brown waa on a beat two weeka ago and was considered a Joke candidate when he announced his Intention of running for the mayoralty. He asked for a two weeks' leave of absence, which the police board granted. Then he began a aeries of out door speeches at the mill gatea and Inad vertently he atated one day that "no honest man wins promotion In the police depart ment except through political pull." Brown was summoned before the board and his leave of absence waa revoked. In two hours the joke candidate was the most prominent aspirant In lwell, for the public criticism of the board's action was so great that Brown's leave of alienee waa granted again.

The strained condition of public senti ment In Germany and England afford op portunities for alarmists and advocates of militarism to secure attention. Whether the ratiaes operating to produce the pres ent tension were designed or accidental. It Is clear they are working most effectively In promoting military and naval expansion and in diverting public attention while measures of Increased taxation are being put through the legislative mills. Note how the tension helps the administration policies In both natlrns. Germany's an nounced policy of creating a liu-go naval fleet, estimated to cost half a billion dol tare, or Iinn.OOO.OOO eoh year, for the next five yesrs, brought the British prime min ister Sn enlarged definition of Great Britain's two-power naval standard. Mr. Asqulth announced that the standard meant a navy equal to the two next high est nsval powers, with TO per cent added for goo) measure. The German Reichstag answered the rhnllcngo by voting to In crease the coming year's naval budget from lioo.non.000 to $115,000,000, an Increase of 15 per cent agalnnt Britain's 10 per cent. In the midst of this naval rivalry, with national pride electrified, General Lorrf Roberts, former commander-in-chief of the British army, chose an opportune moment to exploit his army defense scheme In the House of lxirds. In his opinion the navy is not to be relied on as an effective defense Rtralnst Invasion. To bo sure. It would help some, but com plete safety ran be had only with R hemo army of 1,000,000 men, trained and equipped to drive Invadors back Into the sea. lytrd Roberta' plan, whlclf the peers commended to the Commons, would mean the adoption of the continental system of universal military service, a policy which has not found favor In England. Thus, through the fog on tioth aides of the North sea may be felt, if not seen, the clever hands which press the alarm buttons with the forefingers while the remaining fingers press buttons on the taxpayers. ' The statement of Trince von Bttelow, mado In the Reichstag recently, that France had become the world's banker, is Confirmed by Edmund Thery's work, "Econnmle Progress of France." Just pub lished In Purls. For nearly a quarter of ft century, it appears, France has been re ceiving from abroad a good deal more gold than It has paid out. Even since 1000 It Is estimated through a most careful calcula tion that the Bank of France's reserve fund must have been Increased by $580, 000,000. But some of M. Thery's other dis coveries nre much mere Interesting. The tremendous national debt of more than $5,000,000,000 is held almost entirely Irmlile the country, paying S per cent to the hold ers, while In addition the Investing pub lic, which may be said to Include the whole' population to a greater or less degree, has more than $5,000,000,000 more placed in the national debts of other countries, such as Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy, Brasll. Bel glum and RussIr. The total wealth of the country IS estimated at 450,000,000.000 francs ($00,000,000,000), divided with more equality among the inhabitanta than is the case In any other country.

The recent message of King Edward, conveying royal greeting and assurance of remedying native grievances. Is received by the press of India in a spirit correspond ing to the political tendencies of the edi tors. - Some of the native journals praise it loyally, others extend 'to It a rather chilly greeting, while some criticise It bitterly. The' Katrika of Calcutta says the people undoubtedly enjoy the affection of the royal house, but, at the same time, the deplorable truth need not be concealed that the country is deteriorating fast under British rule. It adds: "The late empress ought either to have assumed direct gov ernment or granted a constitution. At present the country Is at the mercy of Its servants."- The Bengali says: "It would be affectation to say that the jubilee has left the country happier or more cheerful. What is moat disappointing Is that the mes sage holds out no hope of the reform propo sals being really useful. La us assure 'he king's advisers on behalf of our people that this Is not the sort of reform which will satisfy any section of the community." The Sandya says: "The king can "cheat ua thrice, but not the fourth time, with words meant for children, aa it were," The Mir ror Is the only Bengali paper that cordially welcomes the document.

Replying to the demnnds of the radical Kler Hardlc for more extensive measures for relief of the unemployed, Mr. Burns detailed what the government was doing and Intended to do, but emphasised the folly of workmen appealing for help from the government whenever Industries slack en. One river In Great Britain, Mr. Burns said, turned out In 1907, more ships than did all Germany. When the American panic occured. the shipbuilding ' Industry came to a standstill for mouths, thousands of men on the Clyde ceased to receive wages, and clamored for a government stipend while out of employment. "But," said Mr. Bums, "the craftsmen on the Clyde, In the year 1907, apent $20,000,000 for drink, a sum more than enough to have tided them over the bad months of 1908. Were they certain that In the event of non- employment they would receive fifteen shillings a week from the government their improvidence would be encouraged. Self- help, is what we need, not government aid." Mr. Burns' plain talk emphasises the fact that the individual can do more for himself than the government can do for him.
