republican misrule the country has suf-

the money necessary for him to adopt
improved methods. Tt must be made
proitabl for him to place every acre
of his ground under cultivation. This
offers the consumer relief from the IN
creasing cost of foodstuffs.'
Against Subsidies.
President Taft strongly doprecates
any idea OF esta tablishing cooperative
credit in the United States through the
support of government subsidies.
'|We must establish a credit system
of. for, aud by the farmers OF the
United States" he writes. "The coun-
try enjoys today great prosperity, the
factories are buty. the workingmen are
employed, and everywhere the wheels
Of industry hum. The farmer shares In
this general prosperity. The proposal
which T make is not to subsidize the
American farmer. Fortunately for the
country he does not need 1T, nor would
he accept it
President Taft warns the governors
that in this plan. as in ali financial
schemes, there is room for harmful cx-
ploitation for personal gain.
"The most essential point to bear
in mind is the need for the assumption
by the federal and state governments
of the responsibility for economically
and honestly conducted institutions.
Such assumption is the essential prece-
dent for obtaining the confidence OF
the American as well as OF the Euro
pean investing public
If this safeguard is given the farm
land banks President Taft is convinced
that he can secure the farmers mar
ket for their mortgage loans not only
in all of the big money centers Of this
country. but also on the exchanges OF
Europe, and thus afford the American
farmer the capital necessary for the
full exploitation Of the entire agricul-
tural resources Of this country.

Advantages Manifest.

but the advantages to he gained
by the adoption of this plan go beyond
the direct saving in interest charges to
the farmer. The great necessity which
prompted the establishment and exten-
sion of this plan throughout Europe
was that of checking the rapidly ad-
vancing increases in the cost of food
stuffs. brought about by the inevitable
increase in consumption and the failure
Of the long.drained soil to afford a
corresponding increase in production.
That problem faces the people of this
country today-not in so severe form
as it threatened the older countries Of
Europe, but, still, as great and press
ing economic problem.
''Iu Europe this problem has been
successfully met, first, by reducing the
cost to the farmer of producing his
crops and, secondly. by increasing his
production through the adoption OF i'm
proved methods Of cultivation. Both
the federal and State governments In

PREACHERS AND AuroMoslLEs,

Missouri General Association assem-
bled at Kansas City that every Bap-
list preacher who used an automobile
is able to support a missionary. That
is partly true perhaps, but in the case
Of the country preacher little run
about would enable him to reach many
more souls than going to his missions
on foot. This is an age of hurry and
we would suggest that every preacher
be given runabout so that he may
do the work of two Mineral
Wells Index.
The Eagle thinks the suggestion of
the Index is a good one. We take the
position that preacher has as much
right to an automobile as anybody
else. We do not think the suggestion
of DR.. Love is good one at all. We
need the missionaries all right, but
let the churches support them. This
old idea that preacher should wear
a suit until it shines like French
plate mirror, and that his wife should
have a new hat but once in seven
years, is fast dying out and we thank
God for it. We want to see the
preachers and their families live on
