FRENCH FRUCALITY

The French people are said 10 be
the mos, thrifty Of any nation The
country has repeatedly recovered
from most exhausting wars through
tho accumulated savings OF it's lower
classes. The peasant class are Ian /
owners. - small land owners, to he
surc--but land owners jus, the same.
They have saving system 4
their own-known as the Credit Fon-
CHER, directed by the French gov
eminent. The plan provides that \
man may borrow on his land very
close to the complete value by ar
ranging in advance the number IT
years that he will take to pay back
the loan
His interest payments are then ar
ranged at so much per year. the
amount being greater or less, d.
pending on how soon he intends that
these payments should completely
pay off his debt II the payments
are to continue for fifty years, the
payments are very small II the
whole mortgage is TO be paid off IN
shorter period, the yearly pay
ments are larger
Then there is an occasional lo,
terry drawing by which the man VINO
draws the lucky tickle, has his mort
gage entirely Cancelled The system
provides an absolutely safe means
of saving. and is an encouragement
to buy any pay for real estate.
Against these bonds and mortgages
the Credit Fonchier issues its bonds
in small amounts bearing interest at
3 per cent or less. which are sold
in large quantities to investors tf
moderate means.

THE ONE DEFECT

Even Governor Hunt has discov-
cred that the constitution is defec-
tive though it was hcralded a year
ago as the most perfect" consti,u-
ton thrown from the human brain.
The governor. however, has called
attention TO single defect, that
provision making the Office Of mining
Inspector elective whereas il should
be appointive.
No man. al course. would arraign
a sacred document without an nc.
eompanying reason, nor does the
governor quite fail to do so.
I'm my opinion this provision II
the constitution is defective. First,
because the maximum of time which
can elapse between the date upon
which the proposed mining code can
become effective and that on which
the elected official would assume
Office. is insufficient to permit OF or
ganization. To say nothing OF brin,-
ing about results; and second be

had his examination yesterday before
Justice of the Peace McLane on a

CONTROLLING ANARCHISTS

\ great anarchist crime is always
followed by a world wide appeal for
strictcr control OF these crazy looms,
who are liable to bag king or
president AT a moments notice. The
attcmp, to assassinate King Hum
bert of Italy is another Of these
grim reminders.
American history shows that being
a president is an extra hazardous
occupation There have been time
when it seemed almost to rank
among the so-caled deadly trades.
As we hire our president in good
faith To do hard job Of work. we
owe IT to him as a people to make
his life at least fairly safe.
OF late years it has become Gus
tomary for the president to surround
himself with athletic and well armed
guards. and he should be earnestly
encouraged to accept ample protec-
ton.
1t takes whole lot OF tact to
control the anarchist element, with
out giving them the satisfaction Of
becoming needless martyrs. For in
stance. after the assassination Of
President Mckinley. there was n
big outcry against the Home City
anarchist colony in the state .,f
Washington. The United States
marshal went out armed with papers
OF arrest. There was an cxpecta
tion that some blood might be she'd
But when he got out there, the an
archists got up dinner and a
dance for him, and they had very
sociablc time. When he gathered

philosophers. and had them up be

Except in so far as il cndangers
the life OF leading public men, the
anarchist danger is not growing
worse IN our country. The Ameri
can people have too keen sense Of
humor To be much affected by this
philosophy OF Bedlam. When il
comes 10 casting law, authority, prop
erty, marriage and religion out in
the gutter, the American working
man wonders how he would ever
get another woman to wash his
dishes Tor him. for nothing. and
what would become Of his savings
bank account. Nor does he think
iavorably of swapping the privilege
OF the ballot under law for the six
shooter under anarchy.
