Many demo- crats have been advocating postal sav- ings banks for years and trying to licans had no purpose or expectation of putting a postal savings bank bill through, and now the democrats find themselves in the awkward position of being themselves compelled either to fish or cut bait.

In ‘other words, the democrats,| while professing to be frignds of the postal savings bank, are flrejl will not work out satisfactorily.” They are afraid that the postal savings bank will put their pet project of deposit guaranty out of business and take away some of the political capital which they were banking on to brlnfl‘ them closer to democratic vietory. It! will be interesting to watch and see’ whether the democrats in congress vote for or against the postal savings bank bill on final passage. | | Why the Widows Win Out. “Samivel,” said the elder Weller, ! in the course of one of his numerous | hortative discourses, directed 'to hie aspiring son, ‘‘Samivel, bevare of vid-| ders.”” When this expression of warn-| ing is quoted, it must be borne in mind that the elder Weller was a| waggoner and drover, expert in the ways of horses and neat cattle, but| none so wise but that he fell captive to a widow's wiles. It may have been out | of the depth of his experience that his observation was produced; under its stigma the widow has rested for many | years. Now comes a learned judge to her side and says‘she: is.better fitted to be a wife because 'she has' had ex-| perience and knows a thing or ‘two| which she did not know before her | first matrimonial venture. Replying to a question as to whether a woman is happier when she marrlelf the second time, former Judge A, J. Dittenhoffer of New York says: They understand men better. They have | developed beyond the sentimental stage and know that life Is not all love and kisses. They upderstand: the need of a| home. They do not expect a husband to be content with a smile when the house 18 untidy and the dinner spolled. As a| general rule the woman who marries a recond time is more apt to make the home | happy, because she is more s:ttled and domestic. She is more prudent. She Is| likely to think more of her househdld | duties than her finery. She has protited by her carller mistakes and she is more willing to compromise the little difficulties With * her “second husband than her first.| A study of the records of ‘the divorce| courts will show that when a woman | marries the second time there is less dan- ger of trouble In the home, ! This triumph of eéxperience over hope is supported also by Rey. Charles | H. Eaton, pastor of a New York Bap- | tist church and friend of John D. Rocketeller. He declares: The reason why second often are happler for womghKis that mar- | rlages today are based e and more | upon money Instead of upop congeniality and co-operation. Youpg girle read ' the fashion notes untll their only idea of mar- riage is to find a rich husband who will pay their millinery and dressmaking bills After they have been married’ a little while they discover thelr mistake and if they have an opportunity to marry again | they exercise more care In: the' seleetion | of thelr mates. “Then, too, & woman who | hus falled to make a success. of her first | marriage—and marriage Is not A success uniess both husband and wife are happy— puts forth extra efforts to make her seé- ond unlon a succs All of which must be very encoursg- ing for the widows, to whom no one will begrudge a second trial. But a mald must be a wife pefore she can be a widow, and the young chaps will probably go right along, doing as they have always done, taking chances with the dearest girl in the world, re- gardless whether she knows enough about cooking to boll the water with- out burning it. When Strephon meets up with Chloe, or Daphne, or Phyllis, he has no thought of establishing a training school for wives, and even if he be mistaken now and again in his cholce, he will likely be gulded by the heart rather than the head in matters matrimonial, It never was the widow's fault, but her misfortune, that she has had to add to her other charms the advantage of experience. krriaked 5o A county treasuter in Claveland fs reported to have an eyerflowing.safe with an accumulation Muz money which he dare not deposit’jn the bank for fear of violating jthe: law which limits him to a certalwjcontract guota.

The supplanting of Pinchot as chief foresier with Mr. | Graves is not in the line of change of policy, but new evidence of _deter- mination to keep going forward on the same path.

The new chief forester, therefore, would probably have neen one of two cor three men, if not the only man, who would have been recommended | by Mr. Pinchot as his successor if he had been retiring of his own free will. | The sensational features of the| change in the headsnip of the for- estry bureau must not bé permitted either to make people obdlivious of the fact that the work ol the federal au- thorities is only a .part of what f{s called for in executing a forestry pol- fcy. The federal authority extends only to forests in the public domain, and possibly in the territories not yet admitted to statehood, whereas by far the larger part of our forest land ' is entirely and exclusively in state jurisdiction, and it i highly question- able whether anythihg congress can do could impose legal restrictions or regulations upon forest lands wholly within state limits. The policy of the federal government must be sup- planted with co-operative effort by‘ {each of the state governments before | we can make a full showing of re-| sults. The federal government | through its forestry bureau can do a | great deal in the way of object lesson and experiment, but the states, pri-| vate individuals and corporations will have to do their part, too. A University of Chicago professor, who recently toured the country with the Japanese commissiod, says the most significant thing he discovered was the universal spirit of ‘brag and bluster :which pervaded: every city of | sizé in the country. Of all'the fifty-| fiye or more stopping points visited by the Japanese every one of them, we are ured, boasted of some feature which could not be duplicated in the land. That is a bad trait we are dis- posed to deny. There is an ancient| and homely adage, ““If you don’t blow | your own horn, who will?"" And now It 18 announced that our | new minister to China, W. J.

Had investors and speculators become satiefled that President Taft would im- mediately proceed to tear down, utterly to eliminate, all the combinations of capital which are somewhat vaguely and now in- accurately called trusis. then the little spasms In the securities market of the early part of last week would undoubtedly have become a groat panic, possibly equal- ing that of October, 1907, In the best-informed,olrcles there has been no doubt sincethe. meeting of the railroad presidents with;President Taft at the White House of what the ccurse of the administration would be. It was well known that the president would feel it to be his duty In case the supreme court con- firmed the Interpretation of the law in the tobacco company and the Standard OU company cases, which was made by the lower federal courts, to cause the Depart- ment of Jugtice to learn whether combina- tions exist in violation of the anti-trust law; and, it prima facle evidence showed that these corporgte organizations exercise Ings would be begun for thelr dissolution, But there will not be an Immediate bom- | bardment, a sudden and violent attack all along the line. That probably will be un- necessary, If the Standard Ofl company must dissolve and the tobacco company and after that some of the greater corpora- tions is tested by the. interpretation of the supreme court, which compelled the Stand- ard Ofl company to dissolve, then unques- | tionably all of the other combinations would as soon as possible take voluntary steps to relleve themselves of the accusa- tion of acting illegaly; that is to say, pre- pare for dinintegration, After the railway presidents had dis- | cussed with President Taft various ques-| tions relating to the regulation, and here- | after the strictier regulation, of the rail- roads, under the Interstate commerce law, they were preparing to depart from the them to remain with him for a while, as | he wished to talk over with them, Infor-| mally the lssue between the anti-trust law, as Interpreted by the lower courts in the tobacco case, and the many combinations | of capital, by means of which much the| greater part of interstate business of the | United States is now carried on. | When these raflway men returned to New York is was with the Impression that | pelled, in case the supreme court affirms| the Interpretation of the lower courts, | speedily to institute proceedings having for their first purpose the gaining of Informa- tion a8 to whether this or that corporation exists and carrles on business in violation of the law. The country may as well make up fts| mind to the fast/that unless the -uprems! court reads into the Standard Oll and to- baceo company cases an Interpretation now hoped for, but not greatly expected, then Wwe must face one of two conditions. There must either be an amendment of the Sher- man law or there must be business chaos, for the president will not shirk his duty lv; case the supreme court should say that the Sherman law forbids combinations which, although honorably organized and conducted, nevertheless have a lurking or inherent power to restrain trade.

While increased em- ployment has multiplied labor disputes, the chief cause of idleness still is the lack of work. | The average earnings for union members | during these three months were notably | | larger than in 19083283, as against $20; 1907—the record tigure up to that time | amount was $227. |, Tho depression of 190 cut heavily iInto {the membership, and the number of or-| | ganizations has continued to decline; yet there was, from March to the end of Sep- tember, 1909, a total Increase of 5,600 names; | 372,729 workers are registered in 2,35 unons. | The same six months of 138 showed a loss of 26,000, “There were two vacant seats in the subway car when I went in,” sald the young man, quoted by the New York Sun. “I took one of them, and right behind me | came a man and a mighty good looking | young woman.

The host did not know it, but a detec- tive accompanied the gifts to the house. table a handsome box. When these were opened there were cries of admiration. One woman drew out a dlamond ring, another an emerald brooch, another a diamond crescent, a fourth a necklace of pearls, an- other a diamond tlara, and so on, until the output of the boxes represented about $50,- The host had forced a smile when the first box was opened. As each trinket revealed seemed more costly than the last his jaw fell. Perspiration began to trickle down his face, which got so red that the women became alarmed.

Government figures show that the tide of immigration into the United States s gradually rising again. The influx, in- crensing steadily year by year for more than a decade, was suddenly checked in 1907, For a time more forelgners left these shores than reached them from abroad. The flscal year 1907 saw the immigrant arrivals cut from the 1285249 of the pre- vious twelve monthn to 782,870. The next year the arrivals fell to 761,786, An officlal statement from Washington show that, if the figure reached during the first six months of the flscal year 1910 is duplicated between now and June, last year's record will be surpassed; probably the arrivals will be more numefous than during any year since the record of 197 was established. This turn of the tide in- dicates that industry has fully recovered from the paralysis which overtook it in the fall of 1907. There s work to be done, and the workers from forelgn countries are flocking across the sea to do It. Immigration statistics have long been considered an Industrial barometer regis- tering the condition of the labor market. Unforturately the prosperity which this influx evidences is not distributed with en- tire fairness, but so far as it indicatos the right for me to make that sort of a re- mark.
