LITERARY MEAT AND
ADVERTISING BREAD.

Unpopular Review: Let US consider
an average magazine of the so-Called
popular sort. Some one defines it as
follows:
A magazine is a small body of lit
erature, entirely surrounded by adver-
Using. In this respect, it resembles a
railroad ham sandwich with the ad-
vertising bread cut very thick and the
literary meat in especially thin slices.
The situation is well summarized when

to sit down for a quiet evenin's enjoy
ment looking over the advertisements,
and do o know, mon, 25 per cent Of

litheraChoor."
The magazine frequently gives great
prominence to pictures of actresses
doubtless by favorable arrangements
with their managers, With these may
appear an article with an alliterative
title, showing How Cleveland Was Cum
ningly COINED; How Placid Philadel-
phia's Putridity Was Purged; Why
Denver Went to the Devil, etc. Then
may follow an article explaining how

Daddy's Beddrne
@, The Spoiled
Barnyard.
"WhoaI StepI" the
man cried.

wACK and Evelyn seemed to be in the best Of Spirits, SO when daddy came
In he said:
at is plain to be seen that I must tell you a funny story this even.
80 ing Well, that Is all right, I have one ready for you.
Now you may think that a llama is a very funny thing to have in o
barnyard with the other barnyard animals
THE way he happened to come to the barnyard in the first place was
this: The farmer who owned all the animals went one time o. a long trip
On this trip he saw a most beautiful llama, who struck his fancy.
$50 he bought the llama and took him back to his home.
"A number Of his friends told him that they greatly feared that the llama
would not get along with the other animals, but the man vas willing to run
the risk. for he was bent on owning the llama.
when they got home the llama thought he had never seen 80 many
strange animals in his life, and the other animals thought the same Of him..
Well, you know, animals have keen senses Of humor. And the laughter in the
barnyard was the nosiest laughter that ever was heard. And, Of course, the
llama didn't mind being laughed at, a he could laugh just Is hard at the
other animals
Nov, the la thought that the llama would enjoy being driven He
thought the animal could carry things around the farm.
$50 after he had beer there a few days the llama WI hiched to cart
and given the milk bottles to carry and the pals O. milk.
THE llama started off at the widest speed. He went % fast that all the
milk spilled over the harnyard, and no one could stop him, and the mar cried:
"Whoa- whoa! Stop?
But the llama kept right OIL He cam % a steep and very rocky bank.
The man thought surely that would stop him, but not at all. The llama was
used tt climbing higher rocks than these. In fact, they seemed no more than
pebbles to him. And up he went until the cart broke and fell down the bank
Then the llama turned and went back to the barnyard where the other
animals stood with their mouths open watching him.
"The llama, when he got back, said to the man in llama tnk:
You bought me for my beauty so I will not be made useful
"And although the man could not understand llama talk, as a rule he I'm.
destocd what the llama meant this time.
Never again did he al any rate try to make the llama useful"

Mexican. and, conversely, what the
American attitude would have been if
some ignorant and possibly drunken
poems in a Mexican city had treated
the American flag with disrespect.
In such matters, 1t Is evident that
much depends upon whose flag is in
suited. America is inclined to smile
at the misplaced enthusiasm Of it's
w citizens, whether drunk or sober,
who feel that they must give vent to
their loyalty to the stars and stripes
by trailing in the mud the flag of some
nation with which it is having Difficult
ties. Let the. American flag be attack
ed by equally irresponsible individuals
in some foreign town, however, and at
the dignity Of the republic is at
stake.

NICE OLD MEN.
my. amt they nice old men"

MY. amt they nice old men,"
This was the remark Of a Fargo
woman after she had helped entertain
the members OF the Grand Army of the
Republic for the past two days.
1t was not an elegant expression,
but it uut, in the homely, vigorous
speech Of the west, the thought that
has been in the mind Of many who
have come in contact with the old vet
Grams this week.
They are nice old men. It is hard
to think Of these ~gray-haired veterans
as the fiery warriors, who took part
with Sheridan in his wild charges, who
followed Sherman to the sea or who
caught Grants spirit Of bulldog deter
mination and fought the gallant south
srners TO a ~Standsttll.
But 1t is not merely because they
are mellowed with age, that these men
do not APPEAR to be fighting men. In
their youth they were probably much
the same as ;hey are today, just ordi-
nary, companionable Americans, low
ing peace more than war.
The southerners who mistook that
easy-going attitude found they had
made a fearful mistake. These quiet
peace-lov1ng Americans are the kim
to let alone. They do not fight till the
need arises, but when there is need.
when the honor Of the nation is al
stake, or their own honor is involved.
these quiet Americans are transformed
into warriors grim and terrible and
ready to do battle to the last ounce of
their strength.
No, they are not warriors today, al
though the old spirit Of 81 still re-
mains with them. as was evidenced
recently when several veteran regi-
1nents offered their services to the
president. in case there was real trou-
Bile with Mexico. Most Of them realize.
however, that their fighting days are
past and they are content to rest on
their past records and leave the de-
Tense Of the country's honor in young
or hands.

RURAL CREDIT.

Discussing federal authority and
rural credit, The New York Journal
of commerce says:
The Democratic caucus program
for the rest OF the session Of congress
does not include a measure for estab-
fishing what are called rural credit
banks or associations. One reason az
pears to be a difference which has
arisen between the president and some
OF the Headers in the two houses re-
Sardtng the form such a measure
should take. A bill has been prepared
by a joint subcommittee Of the bank
ing and currency committees of the
W houses n introduced in the SEN
ate by Hollis Of New Hampshire and
in the house by Buckley Of Ohio, which
is said not to be satisfactory to Presi-
dent Wilson.
THE bill provides for rural credit
associations with moderate capital to
make loans to farmers on security Of
their land. to be under direct govern
ment regulation and supervision. In
der its provisions there would be LAND
banks in the several reserve districts
under tho jurisdiction of the federal
reserve board There would be loans
on the gradual amortization plan, and
a certain mobility would be given to
farm mortgages as a basis of credit.
There are regulations affecting rates
of inter est, terms of credit, securities Of
the land banks, their dividends, etc.
Only a measer summary of the rrovi-
sions OF the bill is at hand and there
seems to ue no haste about it's con-
Isideration. as it is not likely to be
passed at this session. 1t certainly
should not be put through under pres
sure as part Of any program.
There is a question of serious im-
port as to whether congress has con-
stitutional Authority to deal with his
subject at all. Whether it has or not,
it is a matter which ought to be left
q, entirely to rhe jurisdiction Of states,
where 1t can be much better treated
with reference to varying conditions.
Banking has been heretofore treated
as a federal or national question only
in connection with the issue of cur
TenCy. The title of the law known al
the National! Bank Act, is An act to
provide a national currency secured
by a pledge of United States bonds
and to provide for the circulation and
redemption thereof. The federal re-
serve act establishes reserve banks to
furnish an elastic currency, and for
other purposes. That has been con-
sidered to be the only constitutional
purpose of a. national banking system.
n it is doubtful whether rural credit
associations and land mortgage banks
come within the jurisdiction of the
federal government. At all events
they a be much better provided for
by the States.n
