About 1875 he was appointed by the governor as' jiidge of the district comprising SulJLivanj and Wyoming counties to hU a -vacancy, and held the apointment for one year. He was then elected for a full term of ten years. Standing for re-election he was defated by a small majority by Judge Sitzer of Wyoming but carried his own, county. Since then he continued to practice law.

At the organization of the Laporte national bank he was made its president, which position he held at his death. His wife was Caroline A. Cheyney, a native of Winaham town ship, this county. She died about 3 years ago. He is survived by three sons: Ernest of Eagles Mere; El-lery P.

They were persons who saw this, system in operation at home, and they, were prompt to utilize it here. vThey were and are a little distrustful of the ordinary banks, but, they have profound faith in the honesty and solvency tfie national government. As the greater part of the $60,000 deposited in January is which. otherwise would have been sent abroad for deposit, these banks will inevitably increase the amount of capital in the United savings banks figured among the planks of the Re-publican platform of 1908, and their creation by a Republican congress and president is an achievement which ought to make many votes for the Republican party in 1912.

Ice King Morse, now in t'utj Aliau-ta Prison, was not punished for having money in his possessionvcontrary to prison rules, but for telling contradictory stories of how he got it. There are other high financiers, still out, who are doing the same thing.

Perhaps this habit became so fixed upon Millionaire Morse when at large that it is not fair to expect him to abandon it now. "If the necessary appropriation were had I would establish postal savings banks to-morrow in 500 additional cities and towns," says Postmaster General Hitchcock. Under the law of 1910 only forty-eight postal banks were created. Each state and each territory were given one of these banks. The purpose was to begin on a small scale, and gradually feel the way forward if the system proved successful.

Although the scheme is in operation in nearly all the first and second class countries ot Europe, and has given nutistactlon la all of them, it was deemd to be a somewhat risky experiment, by some of our statesmen. Therefore there was a long agitation of the matter before congress could be induced to pass the postal savings act. In the few weeks in which it has been in operation the system has pleased the heads of the post office department. The total deposits in the forty-eight banks in January amounted to $60,000. As small towns were selected in every case for the experiment this exhibit is encour aging, as a beginning.

February is expected to make a better showing, even though It has fewer business days. Postmaster General Hitchcock urges congress to make an appropriation for an extension of the system, and though the session is nearing Its end he may get the money. If it be furnished he intends to select two or three other towns in some of the states for the new banks, and to section.

J. L. common scnoois ana spent a year at.Kisbree of Milan; Mrs. Jerrv Con- the Harford, Susquehanna county, Academy, and one year at Kingston Seminary. At a very early age he took an active part in politics and was elected county auditor previous to 1850, and as he was not yet 21 years old, could not accept the office.

He was sent to the legislature from the district then comprising Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wyoming counties.
