EUROPEAN CREDIT
SYSTEMS PROBED
BY Ambassador Herrick and
Staff for Information for
the President.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. a.
Ambassador Herrick at Paris reports
to the state department today that
in his, work OF investigating the CO.
operative credit systems Of Europe
he has the voluntary assistance of
Edwin Chamberlain, Of San Fran.
Cisco as representative of the Amer
lean Bankers Association. and John
D. Dillon, president Of the Agricul-
tural Association of New York.
These men are giving their services
} gratis simply to assist Ambassador
Herrick in the compilation of his ex-
haustive report on European coop
eratlve credit systems which it is
proposed to make the basis OF some
system OF land mortgage banks to
be organized in this country.
Mr.. Herriek also reports that E.
N. Breitung, Of Marquette, Mich,
and Breckinridge Jones. of st. Louis.
Mo-, are nov enfoute to Paris and
WIN add their services in the work
OF investigating this question. Mr..
IBreitung Is interested in the ore
business in the Northwest, and con-
siders that the cooperative credit
system will work wonders in the de-
velopment OF the waste lands OF the
Northwest, which for years have re-
manned undeveloped. in his opinion
largely on account of the lack of
cheap money. MT. Jones is also a
man OF independent fortune, and has
volunteered to help Mr.. Herrick
simply because Of the great benefit
which he, as banker, believes will
accrue to the American farmer and,
through him. to the entire nation
through the adoption of the cooper
atiye credit system in the United
States, -. - ~
Two other men have placed them
selves on Ambassador Herrick's
auxiliary staf-Todd Ford, of Cali
fornia, and Mr.. ingalls,, son of ex-
Senator ingalls,, Of Kansas. Neither
OF these men is receiving compensa-
ton for his services. Mr.. Ford Is
preparing himself for the diplomatic
service.
The services of these men, Ambas-
sador Hcrrlck believes, will enable
the embassy to so push the work OF
the compilation of the various re-
ports which will be sent in by the
American diplomatic officers that the
final report viii be ready for 1'resl-l
dent TAFT by October next, which
will probably give him an opportu-
nifty to submit his legislative views,
at the next session of Congress,
which convenes in December.

ELECTORS NAMES MUST GO ON
BALLOT.

The Attorney General has decided
emphatically that the electors nam
es must 80 on the ballot in the COM
ing primary election. He has sent
a message to that effect to the Hon.
Sheb Williams, state chairman, at
Paris, Texas. He takes the ground
that unless the names of the cleo
tors are on the primary ballot. they
cannot be placed on the official bal
lot for the November election.
He calls Mr.. Williams attention to
the fact that q. r.. Lane. who had
given a contrary opinion, has no au-
thority under law to represent the
Attorney Generals department. Mr..
Lanes duties are to represent the
state in the prosecution Of cases be-
fore the court Of criminal appeals and
moi to render opinions for the de-
partment.
Mr.. Lightfoot declares that a large
number of Republicans are interested
in having the names Of democratic
electors left off the ballots. because
the effect OF that omission would be
to lose the electoral vote Of Texas
to Wilson. In the event Of a close
contest the loss OF that vote might
defeat the democratic candidate.
The Attorney General calls attcn-
ton 10 the fact that section - Of
the election laws expressly forbidS
the placing Of the names Of electors
on official ballots if the electors have
not been voted for in the primaries.

Ungrateful Brute.

1t was a very hot day and a picnic
had been arranged by the United So
ciety of Lady Vegetarians.
They were comfortably seated and
waiting for the kettle to boil, when
horrors of horrors, a savage bull ap-
peared on the scene.
Immediately a wild rush was made
for safety. while the raging creature
pounded after one lady, who, unfor-
tunately had a red parasol. By great
good fortune she got over the stile
before it could reach her. Then, re-
gaining breath, she turned round.
"Oh, you u~ngrateful creature.' she
exclaimed. Here have | been a vege-
tartan all my life. There's gratitude
for you!"-LOndon Answers.

THE LoRIMER CASE.

1t was rather pathetic, that con
Guiding scene in the Lorimer case.
They say that rough old Ben Tillman
broke down and cried, and that many
pocket handkerchiefs were in evil
dence throughout the hall. Tragic
enough, in a way. Yet there is always
something of pathos and something
of tradegy when justice smites either
the wrong doer, or the willing bene-
ficiary of wrong doing.
1t is no harm to weep for the pain
caused to Lorimer. Yet, after all,
that need not concern US oyermuch.
The real issue should not become OBJ
.scured. Was Lorimer's election
brought about by buying votes eth
err with or without his knowledge?
If SO, he was properly expelled. A
large majority of his fellow sena-
tors, who had a chance TO hear and
weigh the evidence against him and
for him, decided that his election
was brought about by bribery. There
was then but one thing for them to
do. That thing they did, and the
country Will honor them for this true
verdict rendered according to the
law and the evidence.

TAFT MANAGERS AT LAST
ALARMED"

The Eagle pointed out last Friday,
in pretty detailed form. what it had
limited from the first declaration of
the Presidents denomination by a
convention of doubted authority,
that the greatest peril for Taft is
not in a Third Party" but in the
absolute freedom of candidates for
electors, nominated directly or in
directly by primaries in Roosevelt
states, to vote for Roosevelt after
election, on the claim that the Col
onel was he homes; choice of a quo
rum of legally elected delegates to
the Chicago convention. Other OBJ
servers had of course noted the same
thing. Now it is given u in
Washington that the Taft managers
are alarmed by this phase Of the
situation. They have counted noses.
They find at least a hundred nomi-
nees for electors for Roosevelt. The
discovery of a perfectly obvious thing
is always shocking when it is so long
delayed.
Roosevelt's strategy mas made the
Taft men lose time that was vastly
important. He has masked his real
advance by talk, loud, energetic,
strenuous talk about a Bull Moose
Party. Third parties have common
ly turned out in this country to be
pointing Quaker guns" at soma-
body. SO the Taft men have been
lulled into confidence. Meanwhile,
two state conventions dominated by
Roosevelt men have refused to accept
the authority OF Il Chicago cor
venion and have repudiated Taft,
and have named Roosevelt men for
electors, leaving them uninstructed.
Twenty-Five of the thirty-eight NOM
inees in Pennsylvania are in the
same position as those named I'm
oOutH DdhOtd the OlAtI udyy anu III
Iowa yesterday. California, Kansas,
New Jersey, Maryland. Oregon,
Washington, and possibly Nebraska
and Minnesota, may be in line. Wis
consin and North Dakota, La Toilette
states, are ont for Roosevelt, not for
Taft, and may be for Wilson. The
republican governor of Michigan is
out not for Roosevelt but for Will
son. And more than half Of the
nominees for electors in Taft's own
state Of Ohio are said to be Roosevelt
men, who are now, one by one, flatly
announcing that if elected they will
vote for the Colonel and for no one
else.
Primaries under state laws are no.
renewable by the courts, and men
named for electors by virtue of such
primaries arr entitled to a place on
the official ballot and the republican
name and the eagle emblem. Taft
men can run in any state by petit
ition, but only under another name
and emblem. 1t is i~rconceivable that
any state court should undertake to
say whether Taft or Roosevelt was
the regular nominee at Chicago. A
court test is talked about in Penn
~sylvania, but though tie courts there
are generally made up Of old line
Republican judges, and Penrose
might have some Influence, Dick
Quay is Roosevelt's right hand man,
and the name of Quay is not without
significance. We do not expect that
any interference will come from the
Keystone State judges.
