WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16. 1912. NUMBER 15 TAFT WOULD , AID FARMERS. r . - Wants United States to Adopt Co-operative Credit System. RESULT OF INVESTIGATION, State Department, at the President's Direction, Has Looked Into the Sys tem In Vogue In Europe It Would. Mean Low Rates and Easy Terms For Repayment. The state department's Investiga tion of European systems of co-opera-. tlve credit has now reached the second stage in which a study is made of the mortgage bond societies and the mort gage banks. It is expected that this Is the form of co-operative credit svhich, under one plan or another, will be proposed for adoption In the United States in connection with President Taft's efforts to extend this assistance to the American farmer. As compared to tie present Ameri can system of farm land loans this form of co-operative credit would ac complish two things for the farmer: First. It would permit him to repay il9 loan through an easy system of amortization extending over a long pe riod of years and would remove effec tively the menace of foreclosure or renewal which hangs like the sword of Damocles over the head of any bor rower from a private individual under a short time mortgage.! . :: Second. It !would unlock the doors of the great money centers to the farmer of th remotest regions and give a security to the investor 2n New lork. so that he would need have no concern with b nowinp anything of the of security cSJtred by thefarm in Texas or Oregon on which the money lie lends is tq be . spent. - , .- This means . to the farmer low rates of interest amd easy terms for repay ment. What it would mean in more specific terms to the American farm er can be easffiy seen in a comparison of conditions in Germany or France and in the United States. Here is the statement of ta dealer- in land mort gages in our) southwest, made at a meeting in New York city. The speaker was describing the business of a company .linanced by British cap ital which mates mortgage' loans on farms in the southwestern states: . "We have been loaning money at 8, 9 and 10 per cent. I loaned money in; the Panhandle twenty-seven years ago and for the first, three or four years never got less than 3 per cent a month. That is incident1 to a new country. Now our bank rate is 10 per cent Our land loans that we? have been making the first year or so through that sec tion of the country have been made on an 8 or 9 per ce at basis. However, I am very frank tt say that I think the rates ought , to' come down and that we ought to be able to get money from that section ! the country at 6 or 7 per cent" ! In comparison withithis statement the Credit Foncier of ittance is able to loan monev on farm! lands at 4.3 per cent and the German societies and banks at about 4 or '4.5 per cent As the speaker quoted above says, the Msh rate of interest in this country is probably to a large extent due to the fact that it is a nejv country and that money here, is mare actively employed. It Is doubtful whether, even with the adoption of the European machinery the interest rates on, mortgages could 1 brought down as flow In the United states as they are in either France or Germany, it Is the opinion of no less an authority than Charles A. Conant, however , that they could be brought down -to 5 per cent A mortgage at 5 Per cent with the advantage to the farmer of repaying his loan little by Nttle through an unburdensdme plan of amortization might be accepted as the 'sum total of benefit to be expected tv the American farmer from the Option of some such system as, for stance, the German mortgage bank plan.

Robert Qui len. in Fool Killer. This paper has never, to its knowledge, given any one license to believe that it would or could run a "Questions and Answers" department, but on the other hand it has never attempted to shirk re sponsibility, and it will not do so now. A young lady, unknown to the editor, has sept in the following touching appeal: ''Dear Editor: I am engaged to a very nice young man who chews to- acco. I love him. but. he won't qu t chewing ?nd I haie the taste of it. Would yon adviso me to marry him, or noi?" This is a very serious affair. Most d cidedly I would NOT advise you to marry him. Furthermore lean heartily second your antipathy to the the taste of secondhand Browns mule. Many otherwise perfectly good love affairs have been snuffed out by tobacco. There was once a young man named Carl who chewed tobcoo and loved a young lady both very hard and both at the some time. He used to court her with an over grown chew in oue side of his face, and talk out of the 6ther side. While honeyed words dripped from one corner of his mouth good rich essence of tobacco leaf dripped from the other coiner. The more ar dent the young fellow became, the more enthueiasticly he chewed, and when he got wound up on his pro posal he shed juice like a sprin kling cart. Nevertheless, the girl accepted aim. chaw and all, for betfej or for worse, and probably would have married Li in if it haderr't been for her Pa. : IC happened this way. It was summer time, aud the young folks at in the parlor, close to a window; Pa leaned back in a chair against i tree outside, listening to their yumyumming. It was a verj'dark night and neither the girl nor Carl knew that pa was on the job. Carl was repeating, io? the seven-hundredth time that evening hat he loved her like a muley cow loves salt, aud with each word he chomped down on his quid. Be fore he had finished his first sen tence his mouth was running over and he leaned his head back to hold the tide. Still talked on, his words coming rather splashy tnd thick. Kis mouth was open and he had quit trying to chew. He was nearly . drowned when at length the little oration was finish ed, and with Hoejicng-diawn dgh of relief he tit rued his flooded jaws toward the window, pit-kered up and let'er fly. Pa had been working hard that day and he was sleepy. It was past Mis' bedtime, anyway. Exactly at the same time Carl loosed that flood from out his face, Pa turned tqwai d the window, shut his eyes, stretel -ed out his arms and yawned. Of course it wasn't Carl's fault, jnd the old man had no business there anyway, especially with his mouth open. But it goes to show that trouble will follow a chaw. There was another cae ; of a youug man who told his sweet heart's youngest brother that to bacco chewing would make whis kers grow on bis face. The ;boy boy tried, but swallowed the juice. It made hair grow on the inside of his stomach and after it got long an 1 curley it tickled him to death, jfdst before he died a yourg doctor was called in and he made the by swallow a safety razor, but it was rbo late then, ;. - Saves Leg of Boy.

BUSINESS MEN ARE ALLFOR TAFT Nation's Prosperity Depends on His Re-election. EVERY SECTION FAVORS HIM. Men of Substance, With Interests of Country at Heart, Place Republican Candidate Above Bull Moose Wrecker and Democratic Free Trader Good Times In Sight. . The Evening -Post of New York, which professes an independent atti tude toward . the presidential contest, has been taking the views of represent ative business men in various parts of the United States on the improve ment in business conditions and the probable influence of that improvement on the national election. Among conditions pointing to increas ing prosperity and better times for all branches of trade and industry are a wheat crop estimated by the depart ment of agriculture in Its report for Au gust at 58,000,000 bushels more than the crop of 1911 and exceeded In mag nitude only in three preceding years; a corn crop, if not injured by early frosts, estimated to be the third largest of our yields and 10 per cent larger than in 1911 and a cotton crop re cently estimated as high as 14,000,000 bales, which would be exceeded only by the extraordinary 16,000.000 bales crop of last year. . The country's iron production of July (usually a "baro meter" "of, trade) surpassed all records for the month.; Orders on the books of the United States Steel corporation at the beginning of August- were the largest reported - in any month since the panic of 1907 and showed the most rapid ratio of increase? as com pared with n year ago. that had ever been recorded. Tte total weekly value of' checks' drawn on all the country.3 banks and7 passed through the clear ing houses has increased 14 per cent over 1911, and in. large sections of the west a 20 per cent recovery was re ported. Along with this, the reports of the railway association on the num ber of railway freight cars idle in the United States', have lately shown the smallest total for this time of year since 1907. f HONORS TO LABOR MEN. Positions of Public Trust Filled by Members of Trad-s Unions. Washington.

Re cently the president of the Uni ted States, desiring a wise, keen, sagacious, practical private sec retary, found his ideal in Mr. Carmi A. Thompson of Ohio. "Mr. Thompson comes of - a family of unionists,- his father and six uncles being members of the miners' union of his na tive state, Carmi as a boy and man working beside his father in the bituminous coal veins of the Hocking valley. In his early manhood Mr. Thompson attract ed the attention of the leading public men of the state because of his wide knowledge of work ingmen and rare judgment In matters pertaining to industrial conditions. His advance in pub- 1 i lie life was rapid, keeping pace with his developing popularity. He was elected to local and city offices, held Important posts by appointment: of the governor, and was secretary of state of Ohio. When a ppointed secretary to the president, he was assist ant secretary, of the interior.

Under free trade the man who earns $20 a week now would be forced to ac cept either $13 or $12.

Hilles, chairman of 4 the Rpnilhllcnn' niHvnal nnmmif. i tee, has issued the following: y li mis iiiue, wuen rne negroes I throughout the United States are j celebrating in various ways the i. fiftieth anniversary of the first X and When the Democratic candi- X date for the presidency, Woodrow 4 Wilson, is aDDealinsr to th neo- X pie of the western states to sup- nnrt Viim t- to fitting V chairman of the political commit tee organized to further the cause of the candidates of the Repub lican party for president and vice president should call attention to an expression of opinion by Gov ernor Wilson at a period in his career when possibly he never dreamed of being a candidate for a political office. ' That expression of opinion was made in his capacity of historian, and It adds to the cumulative tes timony that he was until he be came a candidate and that he is now un-American in his views of public questions and at heart, contemptuous of more than one class of American citizens and out of sympathy with their aims, their purposes and their beliefs. It was on Sept. 22. 1862, that President Lincoln issued a proc lamation giving formal notice that unless the southern states returned to their allegiance to the Union within a hundred days lie would declare the slaves with in their borders free, and it was on the 1st of January, 1S03. fol Inwinsr. that a definite nroclnmn- $ tion of emancipation was issued. X Of this crowning event of the ca-4- reer of the immortal Jincoln, "-Woodrow Wilson says in his "History of the American Peo ple." written forty years after ward: "The proclamation when it came was no law. but only his (Lincoln's) deliberate declaration TiM policy for himself and for his J. iwrty, aud changed, as he meant T -that it should change, the whole X air of the- struggle, and of politics T as well." . It is safe to say that not even the most radical unreconstructed southern man would attribute to Lincoln this motive which it re mained for the historian Wood row Wilson alone to discover, that Lincoln abolished slavery to further his own political ambi tions and those of his political party. The statement adds proof to much already at hand that Woodrow Wilson forty years aft er the war was and presumably still is devoid of sympathy for the motive and results of the civil war. The quotation from the Demo cratic candidate's writings proves that he is not a reliable historian nor a fair commentator. It goes to show what has been often as serted, that Governor Wilson is not at heart an admirer of or a believer in American institutions, '4. as his other writings and speech- T es show that he is not a eulogist- $ of American industries nor a de fender of American labor. lie continuously slanders millions of adopted citizens from abroad who have become good Ameri- X cans, tie sneers at traae unions.
