FARM OPPORTUNITIES.

The consul Of the Netherlands IN this
city Is making q tour Of Inspection of
farm lands IN this state, accompanied
by officials Of the state Department Of
Agriculture He Is seeking material for
q report to his government on agricnlt-
ural conditions here as a guide for emi-
grants from that country, as many OF
the small farms Of Holland are being
consolidated into big ones 10y the prop

Of the small farmers will b. forced 10
emigrate.
There is no state In the country
where they might settle with better ad-
vantage 10 themselves. Whether they
wish 10 specialize In dairy farming or
market gardening. or In the raising OF
small fruits or the fruits Of the orchard,
or TO try the obsolcscent general

tern farms, but II Is 10 be noted that
some Western farmers have recently
been looking with favor on New York
State farm lands, with their variety of
products, excellent water supply and
fine transportation facilities. Not so
very many years ago the state govern
ment compiled list Of unworked farm
lands and deserted farms. II opened
the eyes not only a the officials, but
of prospective farmers and investors.
The trend of population to the cities
had left excellent properties half titled
or idle. III some cases farms with
buildings IN good repair were for sale
at less than the cost OF erecting sim
liar buildings. The Department Of Ag-
rIculture set 10 work 10 check this, and
has succeeded to considerable extent
in finding buyers FOR idic property.
There is still, however. ample room for
farmers in this state and ample re-
ward for those VINO put into their work
the brains and energy which the set
tiers on unbrOken Western farms give
to theirs.

sCHULzE-DELITzsCH BANKS.

Ambassador Leishman has followed
up his report on the Ralffeisen system
Of rural banks In Germany, which he
made pursuant to President Tafts ad-
mirable effort 10 Introduce cooperative
credit In the United States. with re-
port on the complementary system OF
Schulze- DelitZsch banks, which furnish
credit at low rates to artisans, work
men and small business men in the
cities of Germany. These urban CO.
operative banks are more complex and
more nearly resemble ordinary banks
than the rural associations. This Is
natural. for they deal with a more
complex social condition and they lack
the backing of the collective guar
antee founded on land and OF the coIil-
munlty interest in seeing that loans
are used for productive purposes.
Therefore. they have n considerable
capital, instead Of the merely nominal
capital Of institutions of the Ralffeiscn
type. and with 1t are able to do more
general banking business.
The primary object Of these banks
Is to furnish their members with cheap.

TEACHERS MUST BE LOYAL.

The decision Of the French govern
ment to dissolve compulsorily the so
cialistic syndicates or trade unions OF
public school teachers Is likened 20 the
explosion OF a bOmbShell in the peda-
gogues' camp. If so, so much the
worse for the teachers. If they really
were taken by surprise, having cher
ished the delusion that the govern
ment would permanently tolerate
their flagrant perversities, we must
wonder at their lack Of common sense,
and regard as all the more necessary
the forcible Intervention Of the gov
ernment for the correction OF their
errors.
For these interesting pedagogues
have been allying themselves with the
avowed enemies Of the republic and
have committed themselves to the
teaching Of disloyalty and treason.

TIME TO SPEAK OUT.

In the debate last week on the single
Presidential term amendment to the
constitution Senator John Sharp Will
iams talked a good deal about things
which DR.. Wilson had said as an MS
torian, publicist and Presidential can
didate. But il was noteworthy that
be failed to produce any remark OF the
candidate favoring the single Preslden-
tial term, In spite of the fact that the
Democratic National Convention when
nominated him pledged him emphati-
cally and explicitly to work for that I'M
portant constitutional reform. DR.. VIII
son occupies an exceptional position as
a marty leader instructed 10 do all that
ne can to put an end to the habit of re-
electing Presidents. When he accepted
the Democratic nomination be assumed
a moral obligation nOt only not 10 seek
4 second term but 10 assist at every
possible opportunity in creating senti'
ment against the twO-term tradition.
II was disappointment TO those who
are labOring to do away with the
abuses attendant upon the candidacy
of a President for reelection that he
did not realize the necessity OF sub
scribing frankly and cordially to the
pledge given TO the public in bis behalf
He had been designated TO be the
Democratic party's spokesman In an
important movement, but he lodged his
responsibility and even neglected TO
acknowledge the force Of the declara-
ton by which his candidacy is bound
We are not among those who as
sumo that DR.. Wilson hopes. if elect
ed. 10 evade the single term pledge.
Sucb action would be manifestly too
open n confession of duplicity and self
,ish ambition. Unless he repudiates the
Baltimore declaration now he cannot
honorahly decline to be held 10 1t after
ne has been elected. Ii is therefore all
1he more unreasonable on his part to
delay taking the country into his cOnti-
dence Now is the time for DR.. Wilson
10 come out with a positive pledge to
do everything in his power TO reform
our practice in the arrangement OF
Presidential terms and to promise eX.
plicitly to abstain. If elected, from con-
sidering himself as possible candidate
for renOminarion and reelection. He
would, indeed, do well to exert his in
fuence in support Of the movement to
secure a single Presidential term, not
Of four years, but of six. II is re-
grettable that Senator Williams could
not add to the debate in the Senate last
week an opinion on the single term
question by Or. Wilson which would
have been really pertinent and worth
while

and q remaining population OF only
6.552.3S5. Since then there has been
continuous decrease Of population
though al a pretty steadily diminishing
ratio. From May !. 1851, TO December
n. 1910. no fewer than 4.236.3G5 per-
sons left Ireland. of whom all out
1922 were Irish Meantime Scot
lands population steadily increased
until In the census Of 1901 it for the
first time exceeded that Of Ireland. the
figures being 4,472,1 and 4.45S.I'o.
respectively. In last years census the
figures were 4.3ol 1851 for Ireland. J.
759.445 for Scotland and 3G,075.269 for
England and Wales. Thus. since ISL
England has gained more than 200 per
cent ana Scotland nearly 12S per cent
while since lS41 Ireland has lost more
than 46 per cent.
Emigration from Ireland has now
nearly ceased, the birth rate Is increas'
ing and the death rate is decreasing.
With the enormously improved agra
rian conditions, under which the Island
has become a country of peasant pro-
prietors. these conditions Will probably
continue and the population rapidly
Increase. Had the movement of the
first forty years of the Union continued
Ireland would now have n population
of more than 20.00OOO0. 1t is not i'm
probable that she will attain such ng-
ures before the present century ends.

New-York tribune., 1912-08-28
IRELAND AT THE TURN.

ireland seems to be at another and
highly important turning point In her
history. We do not mean that Of Sc
curing a considerable and substantial
measure Of local Home Rule, which the
British government has promised her
and which 1t is now seriously under
taking TO give her. The reference is 10
the radical change in the movement of
her population which is carrying her
after two-thirds Of a century Of decline
into a new era Of increase. The Reg
istrar General, according TO our London
correspondence, reports q decrease of
only IL per cent In the last decennial
intercensal period, against % per cent
in the preceding decade and, we may
add, 9.0s per cent IN the decade before
that. There is good reason for expect
ing, therefore, that in the new inter-
censal period Ireland will show for the
first time IN seventy years an increase
in population. and will perhaps by 1921
again equal or even surpass Scotland.
What this Will mean m0y be per-
ceived from q review Of the movement
of Irish population since the Union.
At the beginning of the last century the
population Of Ireland almost rivalled
that OF England and Wales and was
four times that Of Scotland There are
no accurate figures for Ireland in 1901,
but her population was probably about
100000, while England's was only
S.s92.j3 and Scotland's only 1.60S.420.
The first official census Of the United
Kingdom was taken in 1921. and then
Ireland had 6,S01,S27. 10 England's
l2OO0,236 and Scotland's 209l,52
The population Of Ireland steadily and
rapidly increased under the Union. at
about the same rate as that of the
other kingdoms. until the climax was
reached in the census of iS41. when 1t
numbered S.175,124; England then hav-
ing less than twice as many and Scot
land less than One-third as many. z ne
increase probably continued for three
or four years more, though there is no
census record of II.
The turn was reached with startling
suddenness in 1916, when the great
famine drove hundreds Of thousands to
emigration, increased the death rate
and decreased the birth rate. Within
that intercensal period nearly 100000
persons left Ireland, chiefly for Amer
lea, with the result that while the cen
sus OF 1881 had showed a decenniaI In
crease Of 14.19 per cent, that Of 1851
showed a decrease Of 1885 per cent
New-York tribune., 1912-08-28

account and for fixed periods. Aoou.
40 per cent OF the loans are. on curreu, :,
account, and workmen and sliaii
tradesmen needing this aid are ape
TO secure it on the guarantee OF their
fellows In the association. Loans lor
fixed periods are made on the coopera-
tive pledges or by dlscounting Dilis
Of exchange. and also on mortgages :
while few loans are granted Win
out guarantee of any sort. Ambassa-
dor Leishman reports that these BANKS
find no difficulty in borrowing from
the large banks at rates averaging oaa
per cent Oh their total working capital
and they pay dividends 10 their snare
holders generally Of from 0 to per
cent, and In a few cases are mucn
more profitable. They deposit their
funds not called on for current busi-
ness with the larger banks and main-
tain such relations with those institl-
tions that financial mobility EXTENDS
through the entire system.
The ambassadors report suggests
that these banks, being developer
along more strictly commercial lines
are likely TO he more useful as models
for cooperative credit in the Uniteu
States than the Raiffelsen banks
which are peculiarly fitted 10 commu-
mites Of peasants living under simple
conditions and forming homogeneous
groups having knowledge OF and III
terest In one another's affairs.
