ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS HICKORY, N. C. MONDAY EVENING, September 27, 1915. BRYAN ON PREPARDNESS. The Columbia State, which has al ways been a warm admirer of W. J. Bryan, did not obtain much satisfac tion out of the Nebraskan's address in Columbia the other night. After expressing its confidence in Mr. Bryan's conviction and sincerity of purpose in the cause of world peace, "his entire loyalty to the president of the United States, and his consecra tion to the task of helping mankind," the Columbia paper says: Despite the overcoming righteous ness of the motive which ran through the address, it was distressingly far i rum convincing thinking people of the unwisdom of preparation for defense by the United States. Mr. Bryan said, for example, that it is preposterous to compare the position of the United States with Belgium. So it is. Bel gium, Mr. Bryan points, has a popula tion of 7,000,000 and the United States of 100,000,000, and Belgium is sepa rated from other countries by an im aginary line, while thousands of miles of sea are a barrier to the invasion of our republic. Palpably these things are true, but Mr. Bryan forgets that in so observing he admits that our country's safety rests largely in a natural and physical prepardness, in the greatness of our population and in the barrier of the seas. The State then goes on to point out that since this natural prepardness of hich Mr. Bryan made so much, has been cancelled by mechanical inven tions as of faster ships and further shooting guns, it becomes necessary to substitute for it an artificial pre paredness. The 3,000 miles of water separating the United States from Europe have been reduced to a ques tion of a few days. Conditions have changed and this great natural barrier no longer affords protection to this country. Nobody should confuse rational pre pardness with militarism. Nobody is insisting on the latter; but most peo ple, we believe, want the United States to be in position to defend it self against attack from whatever quarter, and to be able to defend it self immediately without waiting un til it can get ready. Mr. Bryan may be making some converts, but the United States has learned a lesson from the European var. It also has learned a lesson from the condition of China, which now is a mere vassal of Japan. It is true there is a wide difference between Belgium or China and the United States, but the difference is not so great that it could not be overcome by mi ambitious power if it were so in clined. Unless the United States can have a navy capable of defending the coun try from attack against any one of the more powerful nations Great Britain excepted then the money that is lavished on the army and navy to day is wasted. Those in responsible positions in this country say the Unit ed States needs more artificial de fenses, and they must be more prac tical than Mr. Bryan. mature.

After considering the matter, Mr. Wilson has found that he is not prepared. Capt. von Papen's explanation that he referred to a New York newspaper the World as those "idiotic Yank ees" sounds reasonable. But we bet the captain felt that way about most Americans. Dr. Cook was not allowed to climb Mt. Everest, the Italian government showing commendable judgment heading off the quack. m PRESS COMMENT Rural Credit in Practice. OBSERVE THE RULES The distressing accident on the road between Hickory and Newton Satur day afternoon might not have occur red had the rules of the road been ob served, and while it is too late to ac complish any good in this instance, it should be borne in mind that a more general observance of simple rules will prevent many of the tragedies that are reported almost daily from every section of the state. Especially with the highways so dusty from lack of rain should drivers be careful. Vehicles of any description using the roads should turn to the right when passing other vehicles. An au tomobile or buggy should stay or the right side of the road wherever possible, and there should be no speed ing. The Record does not know that the automobile and motorcycle were not observing the law Saturday after noon, but it is said the accident would not have occurred had there not been any confusion as to the direction each driver was to take. Persons using the public highways should be careful to observe the rules. Durham Sun. We have heard much of the Euro pean rural credit organizations which were so thoroughly studied by an American commission two years ago and various schemes have been broached to adapt them to the condi tions of rural life in this country, says the Florida Times-Union. But we already have an American system which grew up in the cities years ago and is fully adanted to the rural sec tions of the countr" as well as the civic, we are disposed to believe, if it were somewhat broadened in base as well as scope. The building and loan idea is one that has served to build up cities and has put many a man on the road to competence. A number have been established and are working successfully in va rious rural communities, notable in Ohio. Let us study one of these rural building and loan associations, or something organized on the same plan, which is nearer at home and is helping to build up the community in which it operates. It is one the members of which need not especially care whether a nation-wide plan is adopted or not, for they are them selves securing many of the benefits which a general organization would confer upon them. Hickory, Catawba county, North Carolina, is the center of a commu nity which is becoming somewhat noted for its accelerated growth in agricultural wealth, the result of in telligent co-operation among its far mers. The fact that co-operation is successful among them is in itself a proof of the intelligence of its farm ers. One man there, perceiving the weakness of the one-crop system, re solved to break away from cotton planting and branch out into dairy ing. His success was so pronounced that one and another of his neigh bors in succession imitated his ex ample. Then came a co-operative creamery, founded by the same man, which was so great a success and brought so much money into the county, its name securing more than the average price for its products, that several co-operative creameries were established in adjoining coun ties. But the need of money was felt in the Hickory community for the fur ther extension of the dairy interest and the secretary of the creamery as sociation, who was the same man who had first demonstrated the value of the dairy business in Catawba coun ty, W. J. Shuford, suggested a credit association after a plan of the build ing and loan association of the cities. He was a born leader and his neigh bors, being men of high intelligence, did not hesitate to "tail in behind him." The Catawba Rural Credit Associa iton was formed by the farmers with thirty-eight shareholders to begin with, holding 200 shares of stock. To join it each member pays fifty cents on each share he subscribes for and one dollar a month on each share thereafter. The par value of the share is $100 each and the dollar a month pays for the shares in six years and ten months. The money that accumulates in the treasury is lent to the members, in the order which they bid for it, at 6 per cent per annum.

WHITENER onlv mean a definite entrance of Bul garia on the German side. Until the Al. io Qct wo nan nnlv deal with the eeneral situation in the Balkans which annual manoeuvres before the war, action by .Bulgaria m eitner uuecLiun would imply. If Bulgaria is now an ally of the Germanic powers the first question that arises is concerned with Rou mania and with Greece. Here again two possibilities present themselves. If Bulgaria should venture upon an j j attack on Servia, it might mean j g derstanding with Servia's former al lies or that she felt herself in a posi tion to disregard them. From the tone of the German press the win ning over of Roumania to the Teuton side would not seem likely; but sud den changes of heart are common in the Balkans. If Roumania has a price, the Teuton allies are in a position to meet it. There is enough in Russia's conquered provinces for everybody. The promise of Bessarabia might in duce Bucharest to give up its as pirations in Transylvania. But if Rou mania is still firm in her pro-ally sen timent, the military situation is such as to make her opposition a risk worth taking. Before it decides to come to the help of Servia, the. Roumanian gov ernment must take into account the Austro-German forces close to her borders in Bukowina, the armies of the Danube which are now threat ening Servia, but might easily take Roumania into their scope ot opera tions, and a Bulgarian army advancing from the south. For it would be no ticed that Bulgaria may not need all her troops in the case of a campaign against Servia. The latter will be compelled to fight on two fronts and possibly three, if the Austro-German invasion comes not only from the north across the Danube and the Save, but from the west across the Drina. And if Roumania is conciliated or frightened off, the question of Greece is automatically settled. The second hypothesis is that Bul garia has not tied herself up with the Teuton powers, but has seized upon the situation as a favorable moment for exercising pressure upon Servia. From the first Bulgaria has pursued a policy of frank self-interest. She has considered herself justified, not only by such general considerations as would have any nation to seek its ad vantage in a difficult international sit uation, but by the fact that her claims now extend to what Bulgaria regards as the rightful fruits of her victories over the Turks in 1912, of which she was deprived treacherously, as she has all along maintained. There can be no question of forbearance toward Servia or Greece, against whom the hatred among Bulgarians seems only to have grown fiercer with time. The last ounce of flesh will be exacted. But since the Bulgars have no reason to love the Turks much more than the Serbs or Greeks, it may still be a ques tion of who is to provide the pound of flesh. Frankly self-seeking, Bul garia has not disdained to use threats. While negotiations with Turkey for the Dedeaghatch railway concessions were under way, Premier Radoslavoff gave his famous statement to the press that it was only for the allies to say the word and the Bulgarian army would march against Constanti nople. Turkey came to the scratch. The allies did not. Servia made con cessions, but they were not enough. Sofia came closer to Berlin. The allies, therefore, demanded a clear expression of Bulgarian sentiment. The present mobilization is the answer. It is an intimation to the allies that Bulgaria will not be intimidated, and a demand upon Servia for much larger concessi ons than she has offered. Playing with mobilization is a perilous game, but it is not inconceivable that Bul garia may yet be nlacated. Should Bulgaria begin war on Ser via, which means against the allies, it is obvious that the latter will con front the severest crisis they have had to meet since the battle of the Marne. The effect would not be con fined to the military situation in the Gallipoli peninsula. All sorts of pos sibilities occur, of which we need men tion only one. Should the allied cam paign in Gallipoli fail, and the Teu tonic alliance stretch in an unbroken front from the Baltic to the Mediter ranean, it will not be long before England will feel the pressure in Egypt, in Mesopotamia, possibly in Persia, with India looming up in the background.

IBRARY HOURS BE DECIDED BY VOTE gives a first mortgage on his farm to secure the loan and the amount of tries and among neutral nations would ue immediate. .Bulgaria's act Voc the loan is limited to two-thirds the cash value of the farm, as determined by a loan committee of three share holders from each township, who ex amines the property offered for se curity and report to the directors, each borrower must carry at least one share of stock for every $100 of money he borrows, but, as in the city associations, he is eligible to bid for a loan as soon as he begins to nav on a share of stock. This seems to be in etfect merely the lending of money to the mem bers to each other, no outside money being drawn in. But, where the money is properly applied, principle and in terest of the loan are paid from the profits accuring from the use of the money, as in any mercantile trans action of the sort. The borrower, un der ordinary circumstances, is enrich ed oy the rsults of the application of the loan; the credit association, as a matter of course, constantly accumu lates wealth through the interest on the loans it makes and is able to lend increasing amounts; the whole commu nity is enriched through the money that flows into it for the superior quantity ana quality of the goods the been so plainly one of self-seeking, and her determination so plainly to be u" winning side, that Sofia's de cision in favor of the Teutonic alli ance could not fail to count seriously as the opinion of one intensely inter ested spectator regarding the ulti mate outcome of the war.
