A faint idea of the destitution pre vailing in certain portions of India «lay be fathered from the fact that •onu of the nabobs have only thirty Automobiles apiece.

It seems like the most natural thing In tlie world to hear a Russian prais ing our navy. Indeed, it Is ona of the distinctive characteristics of the Rus- •luns that they have always kind words for the United States. Please emit a sigh for the woman who sued a New Yorker to recover $15,000 as damages for two kisses he h»«l taken without permission. She got nothing. The jury at least might have been sympathetic enough to ren der a verdict that he return the kisses. As usunl nfter a financial crisis, bankers urge the need of establishing in this country something like tlie Bank of Englund to manage tlie na tional currency. Tlie present system is antiquated and bad, and any sug gestion for improvement deserves re spectful examination. Surgeon-General Rlxey has recom mended in ills annual rejxirt that an order be issued forbidding tlie use of Cigarettes to all persons in tlie navy under 21 years old. If tlie order were made and enforced. Dr. Itixoy says, tlie •lek record« would be «mailer and the general efficiency of tlie service would tie Improved. That was a wise word which Ambas sador Bryce uttered at the opening of the international Young Men’s Chris tian Association convention In Wash ington the other day, when he said that every upright life counts for good gov ernment. The source of reform ln-gov- eminent has always been In tlie pur poses of fl n awakened voter. In tlie very American state of Okla- honia is n little group of fifteen lndi- vidunis of ns pure American blood as can be found in tlie country. They own property to the extent of twelve •ifliare miles, mid are reixirted to lie in a flourishing condition. They are fifteen buffaloes which were formerly .part of tlie herd In tlie New York Zoo logical Park. Their new home is like flint to which their ancestors were no customed, and it Is hoped they will thrive better than they, could In a city, and that they will have thousands of fiem’endants. "A man." says a newspaper story, “made millions In his ninety’years of life by never dblng the usunl thing." These are some of the tilings lie never did: He'never traveled; he never joined anything; he never paid for a ticket of admission; he never ate In a hotel or restaurant; his total expendi ture for car fnre was less than one dol lar; for forty years he hud not voted; be wouldn’t smoke, not because It was harmful, but lieeaus«* It cost him twelve cents a week.

DISPOSITION Democrat OF Provides THE for FUNDS. Board Investment—All Fix Deposit Limit at $1,000. Upon the indorsement by Postmaster General Meyer and later by President Roosevelt of tlie postal savings bank system for the United States, three sepnrute and distinct plans have been pro[x>sed to Congress as the proper pro cedure for establishing and putting Into operation such banks, In the House of Representatives Representatives Madden, of Chicago, and Snapp, of Joliet, Ill., have introduced similar Represen ta ti ve Hi tchcock. measures. of Omaha, a Democrat, has lntroduc**«! another House bill, and Senator Thom as Carter, of Montana, is the father of a senate bill. Th«* main differences in these bills lie in th«* protection afford ed depositors and dejxisits ami In Investment features of the funds of l>ostal savings banks. All these bills place a limit on Interest-bearing deposits which can be made by any Individual within any sin gle calendar year and finally. The Madden-Snapp bill provides that $300 may be deposit«*! within one year and that no interest shall be paid to any depositor upon a dejxisit in exces^ of $1,000. The Carter bill makes the lim it of annual deixisit $500 and the final limit of interest bearing deposit $1,000, while the Hitchcock bill has a double- barreled provision which Is more com plex. It provides a limit of monthly deposit of $100 and the final limit of any single deposit at $1,000. In ad dition it provides that no Interest shall be paid on more than $500 to any de positor and that tf any depositor «$>*- posit more than $2(K) In any one year Interest shall not be paid on new de- poslta-ln excess of that amount. Both the’ Madden-Snapp ami Carter bills provide an Interest rate of 2 per cent on d«*posits, while the Hitchcock bill stipiilates that the rate on $200 or less shall tie 2>j per rent, and over that amount and up to $500 the rat» shall be flxtxl by a board of investment, «Mmposed of the Postmaster General, the Sreretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency. In establishing postal savings bank adjuncts to post offices there is also a difference between the Madden-Snapp bill nnd ttie others. Th«* Madden-Snapp measure gives ttie Postmaster General discretion In the selection of offices for postal savings bank purposes; the Hltchc«x’k bill is mandatory in that all money order ixist offices arc made branches of the postal savings hank system, while th«* Carter bill makes all first, s«*cond and tliinl class post of fices branch postal savings banks mid gives the Postmaster General some dis cretion ns to further extension into the fourth-class post offices. • In administration the Madden-Snapp bill provides a general sup«*rlntendent of postal savings banks, with such as sistants nnd clerks as may be ii «* c « m - sary, while the Secretary of th«* Treas ury Is authorized to Increase th«* audit or’s fore«* In th«1 Post Oftl«’«* Department. The sum of $5O.0fiO Is set nside to start the banks in operation. Both the IIltch(*ock nnd Carter bills stipulate that the heat! of th«* postal banks shall be an officer known to the Fifth As sistant Postmaster General, and ask $100,0(10 to establish the banks. Nothing In the development of Amer lean taste Is more hopeful than ttie waning of the spread-eagle oratory and of turgid rhetoric In writing, The passing of the pompous .and artificial In public discourse may be witnessed throughout the English-speaking world, for the faults of the old style, like ninny American fallings, were not pe culiar to this country. In a recent nddress at Edinburgh University Mr. Balfour said that go«xl public speak ing is merely heightened conversation. That Is. It is natural, sincere, but pol ished and correct; just ns In fiction the conversation sounds like people talking, but Is easier nnd more firmly constructed than the spoken sentences of real life. In the old days the flow ery manner, employed by a master, could convey great matter and achieve poetic beauty. Webster could talk in periods and not “sound like play acting.” But much which passed with our forefathers for elo«pien<’«» would seem to us prolix nnd false.
