The bill to establish postal savings banks, which will be urged upon con- gress as _an administrative measure, has teen practically formulated, sub- Ject, of course, to possible modifica- tion to cure possible defects that may bé disclosed. Byt its main features as outlined seem to covgr the require: ments. The bill makes every postoffice which issues money orders a postal savings depository, and leaves it to the postal authorities to increase the number of such offices as future de- mands may warrant. Anyone may deposit money to a postal savings ac- count not to exceed $100 in any one month nor to excegd in the aggregate $500, the balance to draw interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum credjted once a year. Deposits must be in‘multiples of $1, but to facilitate the saving of smaller amounts a stamp device is provided for by which the stamped card may be converted into a deposit with each accumulated dollar, is to be redeposited in United States depositories at not less than 2% per cent, and gafeguarded by gpeclal securities or bonds, a8 now re- quired for government deposits. The redeposit is to be_made in the nearest United States depository bank, which should effectually answer the objec- tion that this system will tend to transfer the savings of the whole country to Wall street. The measure as thus outlined seems to be free from/conruelng compli- cations and to possess the necessary safeguards to appeal to the support of" all who favor the postal savings bank system, even though this particular bill may deviate here and there from what might bo\thcught the ideal sys- tem. It must not be imagined, how- evef, thht)the bill is to have smooth sailing just because it has the backing of the president’ and his administra- tion, and as the opposition is sure to be solidly phalanked, it behooves the friends of postal savings to agree among themselves and to stand to- gether as a unit. One Year's Building Record. Figures are finally at hand to show that 1909 was remarkable as a year of builddg activity. In fifty-nine of the principal cities of-the country permits were taken out for the con- struction of 190,664 Dbuildings, . to cost $716,458,442, during that year, as against 166,151 buildings, to cost $6508,454,406, for the year 1908, This shows an increase of 41 per cent for the year in cost and an,increase of 24,513 buildings. The aVerage cost of buildings for 1909, according to these figures, was $3,7568, and for 1908 it was $3,060. Omaha's share in this increase is very gratifying, the city’'s total showing an increase of 29 per.cent for the year in value of buildings erected. In the class of Omaha shows up es| average cost of buildings for this city, according to the report, was $4,486, almost $1,000 above the aver- age for the country. Compared with cities of its class Omaha shows up even better In Indianapolis the aver- uildings erected cially wellg The age value of buildings erected -was $1,710; in Seattle it was $1,280; in Kansas City, $3,186; In Denver, $3,- 6582; in St. Paul, $2,894; in Minne- apolis, $2,161; In Atlanta, $1,238. These comparisons might be con- tinyed, but this is enough to show that Omaha is building better than many of its rivals. The average cost of buildings erected has been high in Omaha-for years, indicating the ex- cellent quality of the city’s permanent growth, ! Heroism at Paris. The expense of cable tolls is re- sponsible for many things, one being that so far we have been spared har- rowing accounts’ of the suffering due to the floods that have wrought such havoc in Paris. The *“sob squad” would revel in this opportunity, and the word-painters of the Paris press are undoubtedly yearning for the op- portunity to throw their dancr(puvo machinery into the highest gear and deluge the world with vivid portray- als of the scenes that are néw chal- lenging the apprehensive wonder of the French. But the cost of sending this sort of information abroad is prohibitive, so we of the west are compelled to satisfy ourselves for the present with skeletonized reports, touching only the high spots, while we await the coming of the illustrated papers which will show us the wall of water proceeding, through the Place de Vendome, or how the Louvre was threatened by the uproarious Seine, or some other equally important fea- ture of the disaster, But we have not been entirely de- prived of the “human interest” phase of the flood. One Assoclated Press cortespondent, imore dring than his fellows, and mindful of the yearfing |of his American countrymen, has fur- |nished us with an example of the heroism that must be daily and hourly exhibited among the people of the French capital. He tells us that de- spite the dreadful darkness and dis- order that have fallen over the gay city adame Pinchon, wife of the minister for forelgn affairs, held her regular reception. ‘Kerosene lamps and grate fires took the place of ‘elec- tric lights and steam heat, and the palace of the minister was the center of festivity. } This dauntless courage that rises superior to such chétacles as a flooded city is but traditional with the French woman, Joan of Are, clad in" white armor and leading the assault against the entrenched English at Orleans Mademoiselle of Orleans, some cen- turies later, charging through the king's leaguar and entering the city by a postern that she might save it for her father, and many other hero- ines whose names glow in warm, rich colors on the pages of French history and adorn countless romances with a glory that will never be dimmed, did not live in vgin. Thelr examples have inepired the intrepild woman of the twentieth, century, and while she may not. ride to rescue beleaguered cities, or, armed cap-a-ple, mount a ramp- ing steed at the Aiead of a mighty force of gallant knights and well- tried soldiers, she can defy the fears that drive less competent souls to trembling seclusion. Her reception to the diplomats and others of her circle marks Madame Pinchon as the woman of the moment. And, while she is not to be deprived of any of the glory that is hers, is not the Standard Ofl entitled to some little recognition? Notice that kerosene lamps replaced electric Ilights. Were it not for the oil of the Standard, wherewith would these lamps have been lighted? .. Why Distort History? In a series of interesting arti- cles setting forth some personal rec- pllections of his public life, ex-Sen- ator Manderson exploits his part in gecuring the initial appropriation for the new féderal building at Omaha, for which all will concede him a great share of credit, But incidentally ¢om- menting on the struggle for the selec- tion of a place for its erection, he declares: There were many schemes of property owners who thought to place the build- ing where it would advance their busi- ness fnterests, but fortunately these \were all defeated by the action of a competent governmental official, who was appointed by the secretary of the treasury to visit Omaha and select the site. Why seek to distort history? It is 2 matter of common notorietg’ thaf the selection of the postoffice site marked not the defeat, but the suc- cess of the schemes of one group of property owners to advance their own business interests. It 1s a matter of common notoriety also that the agent sent here by the Treasury department was either prejudiced in advance in behalf of these 3- terests or was flagrantly imposed on by them after he got here. It is a further conclusion, to which Tew dis- interested people familiar with the facts will dissent, that it' would have been far better for the eity, as well as for the government, had the post- office jbuilding been located on the crest of the hill, where it could have been seen and where it would have had the advantage of solid ground for sub-structure, rather than hidden at the bottom of a hill on spongy soil, imposing great™ additional ex- pense to get a foundation and keep out the water seepage. The old Omaha postoffice fight is dead history and the personal® ani- mosities that arose out of it have long since been buried, but that does not make black white nor change indis- putable facts. { The Need for Sane Thinking. The average Amerjcan of today realizes that he Is wans in an age of unrest, that the fusion of a vast and diverse population necessarily pro- duces much confusipn’ Vast and mighty ~ problems “are continually emerging from subterranean human conditions, whosé proper solution car- ries with it the future progress of the country, 3 Demagogues and agitators = would have us believe that all these prob- lems may be easily solved by a simple formula, Many “‘get-well-quick’ panaceas are widely advertised, and fhe unthinking are caught by the glitter. But soclal disease-as that of takes time for curing. Nowhere is patience productive of better results than when it produces sanity of action in a time of social turmoil. When a house {s burning the fireman does not necessarily destroy the building. How- ever quickly he works he still takes time first to locate the fire. * In the present time a cool headed citizenship is needed if we are to ¢ope successfully with our many urgent problems. Too many are prone to too much discussion and too little think- ing. Patent medicine reformers set up their rostrum on the nearest street corner, and & mew political issue at once arises warranted to cure every social il knéwn and unknown by a liberal application of the universal trouble-solver. There are many people among us who freely express /more positive opinions on national subjects than does the most e¢xperienced man in public life. That the opinion is ready made for them, does not matter since they had not time to think it out for themselves. The time will come, however, when independent, thinking will be less rare and no one will be expected to comle to a conclusion on a mooted question, until he has. viewed both sides of it and has at least given to it some sapne and consecutive thought, % There have been other perfods in the world's history when epochs have been ‘differentiated, but mever have thre signs of change been so visible. It may be due to the fact that we are a more intelligent people than our fore- bears and consequently have powers of observation more highly trained. Be this as it may a ecitizenship 1 stronger as It develops farsighted faculties.

The “Auf klarung” is not confined to the United States—-the whole world s in the process of reforming a new and higher civilization, Pensions for Library Workers. - The completion by one of the workers in the Omaha Public library f~twenty-five years of service emphasizes the suggestion, which we undérstand has already been made through other sources, that Mr. Carnegie would be doing the handsome thing if he were to endow a foundation for retirement pensions for library workers similar to that' which he has established for the benefit of retired university professors. 1t is well ktiown that Mr. Carnegie's magnificent gifts of library buildings to hundreds or progressive cities and towns has given new life to the public library as an edicational center in these various communities, this growth and expansion has made library work almost a profession. All over the country are to be found thou- sands of bright men and women who are devoting their lives to the handling of books in these treasure houses, and making their contents accessible to those who would use them. This work now calls for an”exacting education and a reasonably high order of ability short only in degree, if at all, of what is required for instruction in the gen- eral run of colleges and universities. As the patron saint of the library, Mr. Carnegie ought to be as much in- terested in the welfare of the library workers and in assuring them against want when their days of usefulness have ended as he is in the welfare of the coliege professors. A foundation for retirement pensions for library workers should be one of the early moves on Mr, Carnegie’s chessboard of philanthrophy, I Belated Charity. The publicity given two mere girls in Kansas City’'s juvenile court has aroused a good deal of wholesale sen- timent among the better class of peo- ple of that place. One is a pretty girl, but neglected. The other a scrub girl, also neglected. The pretty one has attracted much attention, espe- clally from wealthy women, but the other sat back in the corner unno- ticed. Many wanted to take charge of the former and she is now adopted. The other no one seemed to want. But a Chicago banker—name not given—who happened to be at the juvenile court, was touched by the story of the little serub girl and on leaving provided the necessary funds to give her a convent education The big-heartedness of many people is well illustrated by these two cases. The fact is there are more big-hearted people in_the ‘world than one is apt to think when he bumps into them in business deals. And the best part of it all is that it is big-heartedness of the' right sort, spite Of the concentrated foolishness occasionally cropping out in some of the citles of our country, prompting the erection of an expensive home for wandering and decrepit cats. - But why wait until boys and girls get into trouble and into the juvenile court? To benefit society ’permnnenfly the cause must be rooted out. Instead of waiting until the juvenile court has brought thé delinquent to light before acting do a Ilittle looking around on the quiet and devote some of the superfluous charity money and sympathy to the proper instruction of ignorant or irresponsible parents and in ferreting out and rectifying other delinquency-producing conditions. If an ounce of prevention is really worth a pound of cure, it will apply in cases of ‘this kind as well as it does in the comagbus ward In a bospital. Here is a prediction from an old- timer who seldem misses the bull's- eye: More money will be made by shrewd investors in Omaha real edtate in the next two years than' in any similar previous period of the city's history.
