As postmaster of St Louis, Mr. Har low had occasion many times to sec the necessity for such a system. Speaking on the subject yesterday, Mr. Harlow said: "Whllo postmaster at St Louis it came to my attention on a number of occasions that people having small sum of money they wanted to save would purchase money orders payable to themselves in order to plnce it In the hands of the government for safe keeping. Of course, they reccivo no interest on this money, nnd were obliged to pay the government for keeping It Tho people who used the money order service In this way wero of all classes among those who could lay aside only u small sum. Theatrical and other traveling people would buy money or ders payable to themselves at their homes, und others living in St Louis would do the sumo thing merely to place thu money where they bclle-ed it would bo absolutely safe.
