to get farmers to attend any OF the

under the new condition of things.
But now not only have all the coun-
ties an average OF more than three
institutes-there are s6s in the loo
counties-but the children and the
women are taking a lively interest
in such things. The women have
auxiIiaries cooperating with the in
stitutes, and the children are study
ing agriculture in the rural schools

MODERN BLAsPHENIY

Improvements in that town because
Jesus Christ never walked on cement
sidewalks" and the governor Of the
great state of Nebraska who stimuli
taneously seeks to bolster up his
political beliefs by proclaiming that
"the Man of Galilee was the first
great insurgent." are evidently OF
much the same caliber.
The stand Of the one is no less
censurable and unworthy than the
outory of the other. If any differ
entiation, 1t is in favor Of the be-
nighted religious zealot, as against
the enlightened partisan faker.
1t is a considerable distance from
the Zion City council, where the
Dowieite took his stand, to the Kan
sas City meeting where Gov. Aldrich
let loose his voice, but the chronicle
ing of the two episodes in close con-
junction furnishes striking parallel
of the extremes in religion and poll
tics.
Fanatics we shall have with us al
ways. Mountebanks have been IN
evidence from the beginning OF time.
But reverent and intelligent Chris
tian nation may we'll be given pause
when one in high place, representing
an American commonwealth, sacri-
legiously utilities the memory of the
Son of Nazareth to illustrate and en-
phasize a political movement, how
ever just and promising that move
ment may be.
1t is wanton and shocking at very
best, and approaches blasphemy.

lust three years ago February 20,
19O9l: "No man of better training,
no man of more dauntless courage,
of sounder common sense, and OF
higher and fine character has ever
come to the presidency than William
Howard Taft" Mr.. Taft can now
rest assured that If he is not re-
nominated it will be solely because
Of the opposition of the man who
paid him this tribute. The chances
are that after Mr.. Roosevelt has al
lowed his boom to wipe out all the
insurgent candidates he will come out
for Taft-and it will all be over but
the denomination and reelection OF

PRAISE FROM II. II.

PRECEDENT Theodore Roosevelt
wrote from the white house to VII
liam H. Taft March 10, 1906;
my belief is that Of all the men
that have appeared so far, you are
the man who is most likely to re-
ceive the Republican nomination and
who is, / think, the best man to re-
ceive It,"
After Mr.. Taft had been nominated
for president, Mr.. Roosevelt said
June IS, 1908:
II do not believe there can be
found in the whole country man
30 we'll fitted to be president. He ID
not only absolutely fearless, aDso-
luteIy disinterested and upright but
he has the widest acquaintance with
the nations needs without and with
in, and the broadcast sympathies with
all our citizens.
"He would be a. emphatically a
president OF the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself,
would be freer from the least faint
of demagogy, the least tendency to
arouse. to appeal to class hatred OF
any kind"
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to Conrad
Kohrs OF Helena September 9. 1908:
I'm Mr.. Taft we have a clean man
who combines all these qualities to
q degree which no other man in our
public life since the Civil war has
surpassed"
The Success Magazine made public
an Interview with Mr.. Roosevelt
September 1S, 1908, in which ne
said OF Mr.. Taft:
Taft invariably does do the ordin-
airy things and he does them excep-
tionally we'll. That is why / say
he will make one Of our greatest
presidents.
A letter from Mr.. Roosevelt to
William B. Mckinley September 20,
1908, was made public in which the
president said:
at is urgently necessary from the
standpoint of the public interest to
elect Mr.. Taft and a Republican
congress which will support him"
Mr.. Roosevelt issued statement
September 81. 1908, in regard to the
Foraker disclosures in which he said
OF Mr.. Taft:
Ellis attitude on this question, as
well as on countless other questions,
convinced me that Of all the men In
this Union he was the man pre-
eminently FIT in point Of uprightness
and character, of fearless and ag-
gressive honestly and Of fitness for
championing the rights Of the peo-
pie as a whole to be president"

The anniversary OF the birth Of
Lincoln becomes each year Of more
Importance to the people OF the
United States. AZ we get farther
from the days OF the great emanci-
pator the mightier appears his SER
vice and the more are his good works
recognized.
The field OF American statesman
ship has broadened since LIncOln's
day. The grand national struggle
which occupied his energies has not,
It Is true. been matched in anything
that has since occurred, In its de.
mands upon the wisdom, faith ana
endurance of executive or counselor;
but the thought of the man at the
helm must today take a wider range.
Responsibility as world power has
been not merely recognized by us
but has been thrust upon US more
and more by the course OF other
powers. American influence Is po-
tent on both continents, to degree
which, could Abraham Lincoln visit
us today, would amaze and delight
him. That ours should have been
the voice to stay the hands of united
Europe, stretched forth to tear in
pieces the greatest of Oriental en-
pires; that today Western Europe
should call upon our state depart
ment to again take the lead in pre-
serving that empire, that, seated In
the Philippines. we may rightly
claim a voice in the settlement OF
every world-queston in the Orient
these are things which would move
to enthusiasm chat grand, simple
soul who led the American nation
through four years of soul-harrowing
conflict. The government "of the
people, by the people, for the people"
which, through his endeavor, did not
"perish from the EARTH" Is seen to
be, in the hands of his successors,
an instrument of beneficence to the
whole world. 1t lives for the people
of South America. of the Philippines,
of Japan and of China, in q sense
only inferior to that in which 1t
lives for Abaham Lincoln's country
men.

SMALL BANKS AND MONETARY
REFORM.


The Topeka manager of the Champ
Clark campaign in Kansas has been
sending out statement regarding
the report of the National Monetary
COMMISSION, evidently seeking to
make political capital out of a mat
ter that is in every sense nOn-parti-
san and purely business measure.
He makes the assertion that because
1.-THE banks eligible to membership In
the National Reserve Association are
limited to those with a capital OF
S25 900 and over, 1t is discrimina-
ton against the small banks. It Is
needless to say that the small banks
nosition will be no different under
the new plan than it is at present
While as the bill is now formed II
could not become member OF the
Reserve Association, 1t would stili
he assured of better protection and
would be better equipped to take
care of it's customers than at pres
emit, because it would be a beneficiary
of the new system through the friend
" officers Of its correspondents;
that is, the banks which it uses for
reserves.
The fact is that the small banks
generally would probably not care TO
20 to the expense and trouble OF
becoming members of the National
Reserve Association and it is entirely
likely that hundreds of banks OF
$4,000 to $4,000 capital would
not enter the association. There Is
NO particular advantage in being al
rectly a member of the association.
The advantage comes to the widely
distributed opportunity Of obtaining
better accommodations in times OF
financial needs, and If the local bank
were certain that its reserve cores
pondents would be able at all times
to take care OF it in the matter oil
currency and credit, that is all that
1t would ask and 1t would avoid the
trouble and expense of its own mem
bership.
The position of many bankers II
that It would be better for the coun'
try as a whole If no banks were al
lowed to exist without capital Of
at least $4,000 as a matter OF pro
lection to their depositors; but ever
with banks of small capital II they
can have the assurance OF protec
ton and assistance and ample &C
commodations at the time they neet
them, they will be strengthened i'm
measurably and their confidence II
their own ability to care for theil
business will be enhanced.
The objection IL in no sense
serious one nor vital to the principle
of monetary reform and it is possibl'
that before the bill is finally shap
ed all banks, large or small, vii
be eligible for membership. TheI
we may find that most Of the small
banks will not be DESTROYS Of join
ing but will prefer to depend upoE
their correspondents with q certain
ty that they will be cared for wheT
necessity arrives.
