rURAL CREDIT AND CURRENCY.
Farm Legislation Promised BY Presi-
dent Wilson Next Session.

dent Wilson Next Session.
Democratic insurgents" on the cur
rency question declared themselves as
much encouraged last Wednesday af-
ter the caucus had spent more than five
hours discussing the administration
currency bill. Representatives Henry,
chairman of the rules committee, and
Ragsdale Of South Carolina, who drew
the original insurgent amendments,
and Representative Eagle of Texas, ar
gued for the insurgent contentious
during the session and Representative
Bulkeley and Korbly defended the bill
With the administration measure un-
der the fire in the caucus Of those
Democrats who seek to write into 1t
provision which would give the farmer
currency on his crops, President Will
son issued a statement committing
himself to rural credit legislation at the
next session of congress. He set forth
that the matter could not be properly
handled in the present bill and that
separate and distinct machinery for the
handling of rural credits should be es-
tablished. The question, raised by the
house insurgents, has brought flood
of comment from the agricultural COM
munities to their representatives in
congress and many believed the presi-
dents statement would have some ef-
feet on the consideration Of the bill in
the caucus.
But after the days discussion the in
surgents were confident that they
would secure material amendments
looking to the providing Of money to
farmers. One amendment suggested.
which secured favorable consideration
from both sides, would make it clear
that banks in the Federal system could
discount paper based on warehouse re-
ceipts for staple commodities and
would make this paper rediscountable
at the regional reserve banks. Many
conservative members Of the house
evinced a disposition to support this
amendment, which would carry out the
ideas expressed in the insurgent pro-
posals.
The general discussion of the meas
ure in the caucus will continue tomor-
row and it is probable the bill will be
before the caucus at least for the re-
mainder Of the week.
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer.
chairman of the caucus, conferred with
the president and was acquainted with
the contents of the statement through
which 1t was hoped to persuade So
called insurgent Democrats to abandon
their fight for agricultural currency.
The president said:
Again and again during the discus
sion of the currency bill. it has been
urged that special provision should be
made in it for the facllitation of such
credits as the farmers Of the country
must stand in need of-agricultural
credit as distinguished from ordinary
commercial and industrial credits. Such
proposals were not adopted because

After the Coon.-A Presbyterian
minister by the name of Haynes was
once travelling through the wilds of
West Virginia. One Sunday evening
late he called halt at log cabin by
the road and gave halloo, when
woman came to the door.
Haynes said: Where is your hus-
band?'
He went coon hunting. He killed
two whoppin' big coons last Sunday"
Doesn't your husband fear the
Lord?"
"Oh, yes; he always takes his gun
with him."
Are there any Presbyterians in this
country"
'I don't know whether he has killed
any Presbyterian or not. You can go

and see."-National Monthly.

THE SOCIAL PHASE.
What the Parcel Post Will Really Do
For the Country.


In some parts and among certain in
dustrial and mercantile interests of the
United States the feeling has prevail
ed ever since the parcel post came to
be considered seriously that it's intro
duction would still further accelerate
the tendency toward Capitalization, and
1t was because Of this impression that
many, even to the last, withheld from
it their support, says the Christian
Monitor. Since its installation, yet In
small way, some fanciful spectators
have pictured 1t as means by which
the farmers wife may possess herself
of the latest things in city styles, there
by keeping pace with her urban or
metropolitan sister In all that apper-
tains to the mode. People better ac-
quainted with the American farmers
wife and her tastes and manner Of sat-
isfying them have never permitted con-
siderations Of this character to affect
them. In a very large sense, the par
eel post, in principle, is no new thing
to the rural districts. The mail order
business has been growing steadily In
this country for the last twenty-fiv
years, and while 1t has led to the es-
tablishment of great mail order houses,
these institutions by no means monop-
olize the trade. Throughout the west 1t
is no uncommon thing for the women
of the small towns and of the larger
farming communities to have regular
accounts with dry goods and depart
ment stores.
So that the introduction Of the parcel
post, per Sc, will work no social revo-
luton in the interior, in the sense Of
causing the women of the rural dis
tricts to seek in the large cities sup
plies they might otherwise purchase
nearer home. A great many Of them
have not been purchasing near home,
but 1t has not been so much their fault
as it has been the inability of the small
storekeeper to meet their wants. The
parcel post will do for the small town
store what the regular freight and ex-
press service never have done for
them. Such stores may now order
from the wholesalers small lots, from
gloves to velvets, and have them de-
livered promptly and at low carrying
cost. The charges Of small lots need
not hereafter eat up the profits. Under
the new system the stores should be
able to compete to better effect with
the large city establishments and the
mail order house. 1t will be much
simpler matter for them in the future
to show the latest thing the big cities
have to offer.
In other wrds, the parcel post will
distribute rather than centraliZe. But
1t will work out in another respect in
a still more gratifying manner. 1t will
enable the farmers wife to market her
share Of the farm products so much
more eXpeditiously and cheaply that
she will probably form regular business
connections with the centres from
which she will also draw her supplies.
Socially, her position will be greatly
strengthened, not, however, by leaning
on the big cities, but by assisting, both
as producer and consumer in building
up the trade of the small communities.

King George aCarpenter-During the
recent tour Of King George and Queen
Mary through the great industrial GEN.

surprised his guides and the workmen
by the technical knowledge he dis
played.

who has tried it knows, planning Is by
no means as easy as it looks and the
average novice bungles it badly.
King George, however. is no novice,
for as a boy he was a proficient car
penter and can still handle plane and
chisel in the deftest style. In fit of
temper in his younger days he once
kicked his foot through the panel of a
door at Osborne and later on, seized
with remorse, he cut and planed an

such credits could be only imperfectly
proyided for in such a measure. The
scope and character of the bill, its i'm
mediate and chief purpose, could not
be made to reach as far as the special
interests Of the farmer require.
Special machinery and distinct
system of banking must be provided
for IL rural credits are to be success
fully and adequately supplied. gov
ernment commission is now in Europe
studying the interesting and highly
successful methods which have been
employed in several countries OF the
Old World, and its report will be made
to congress at a regular session next
winter.
ut is confidently to be expected that
the congress will at that session act
upon the recommendation of that re-
port and establish a complete and ade-
ouate system Of rural credits. There
is no subject more important to the
welfare or the industrial development
of the United States; there Is no re-
form In which would myself feel 1t
greater honor or privilege to take part,
because / should feel that 1t was q
service to the whole country Of the first
magnitude and significance. 1t should
have accompanied and gone hand In
hand with the reform of our banking
and currency system IL we had been
ready to act wisely and with full
knowledge Of what we were about.
"There has been too little Federal
legislation framed to serve the farmer
directly and with deliberate adjust
ment Of his real needs. We long ago
fell into the habit Of assuming that the
farmers of America enjoyed such an
immense natural advantage over the
farmers Of the rest of the world, were
so intelligent and enterprising and so
at ease upon the Incompatible soils OF
our. great continent that they could
feed the world and prosper no matter
what handicap they carried, no matter
what disadvantage, whether Of the law
or of the natural circumstances, they
labored under. We have not exaggera-
ted their capacity or their opportunity,
but we have neglected to analyze the
burdensome disadvantages from which
they were suffering and have too often
failed to remove them when he did see
what they were. #-a.
"Our farmers must have means af-
forded them of handling their financial
needs, easily and inexpensively. They
should be furnished these facilities be-
fore their enterprises languish, not af-
terwards.
"And they will be. This is our next
great task and duty. Not only Is gov
ernment commission about to report
which is charged with apprising the
congress of the best methods yet en-
ployed in this matter but the depart
ment of agriculture has also undertaken
serious and systematic study Of the
whole problem Of rural credits.
1.-The congress and the executive
working together will certainly afford
the needed machinery Of relief and
prosperity to the people Of the coun-
try -sides, and that very soon."

in vigorous language. The consul said
relative to reparation:
Il do not merely request the arrest

have the honor to represent. demand
their immediate punishment for this
