The Message In Full.
Gentlemen of the congress- have
come to you upon an errand which
can be very briefly performed but
beg that you will not measure its
Importance by the number of sem
fences in which I state it. No COM
munication 1 have addressed to the
congress carried with 1t graver or
more far-reaching implications to the
interest of the country and and now
come to speak upon the matter with
regard to which l am charged in a
peculiar degree by the constitution II.
self with personal responsibility.
Earnestly Asks Repeal.
"I have come to ask for the repeal
of that provision of the Panama canal
act of August "a, 1912, which exempts
vessels engaged in the coastwiss
trade of the United States from pay
ment of tolls, and to urge upon you
the justice, the wisdom, and the
large policy Of such repeal with the
utmost earnestness of which am ca
pable.
"In my own judgment, very fully
considered and maturely formed, that
exemption constitutes mistaken eco
nomic policy from every point Of
view, and is, moreover, in plain con-
travention of the treaty with Great
Britain concerning the canal, conclud-
ed on November Is, 1901. But have
not come to you to urge my personal
views. l have come to state to you
fact and situation.
But One Interpretation Abroad.
whatever may be our own differ.

debated measure, its meaning is not

Everywhere else the language of the
treaty is given but one Interpretation

language we accepted, if we did not
originate it, and we are too big, too
powerful, too self respecting a nation

fined a reading the words of our own
promises just because we hay, power
enough to give us leave to read them
as we please. The large thing to do
is the only thing we can afford to do,
voluntary withdrawal from a posi-
ton everywhere in question and mis-.

without raising the question whether
we were right or wrong, and so once
more deserve our reputation for gen.
crosby and the redemption of every

ton.

acy and nearer consequence if you

Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1914-1915, 1914-06-18

If the moneysis used to buy q machine
that will last 10 years, the machine
must earn enough money in that time
the loan therefore, should be entirely
repaid before the 10 years are up or
the farmer will lose money on the
transaction paying out interest for mo-
benefit in return. On the other hand
if too early a date is set for repay
ment the machine will not have had
sufficient opportunity to make the re-
quisite money and the. borrower may
have difficulty in raising it elsewhere.
Rule 3 provides for some form Of am
irritation the system by which the
principal is repaid in installments so
that the amount Of the loan is con-
tinually diminishing and in cnsequence
the interest charges also. Such a sys
tenn is quite feasible when the loan
is really productive, when it returns
to the borrower a definite revenue
each year. Tables showing the pay
ments required to pay off principal
and interest in varying periods of
time r appended to the bulletin and
are recommended to the serious con-
sideration Of everyone who contem-
plates borrowing money. The bulletin
also advises the farmer to secure the
lowest possible interest. At first sight
this seems too obvious to be worth
mentioning. OF course, the interest
should be as small as possible. Every
body knows that except the lender.
But if the other rules are observed,
if the borrower manages his financial
affairs soundly. he will be surprised
to find how much easier it is to. OBJ
tain favorable terms. The right kind
of a lender does not want to foreclose
mortgages; he wants his money back
with a fair profit like any other mer-
chant. For money that is borrowed
wisely for money that is sure to be
repaid, he charges low interest.
This, in fact, is why the govern
ment has published these rules for
borrowers. It is not so much a matter
of driving a shrewd bargain as it is
of observing a few fundamental prin
ciples which alone can make credit a
blessing and not a curse.

Fargo, N. D., June l5-The effect
of the meeting which was recently
held in this city in opposition to WON

More than 100 women were enroll
ed at this first meeting and many

The purpose Of this organization is
to show the voters of North Dakota
that the women Of the state are not
generally in sympathy with the suf-
frage movement, that it is only a
small minority Of women who are
asking for the ballot.
The great majority Of North Dakota
women believe that they suffer no
injustice under the present electorate
and they feel that the duties which
must ever revert to their sex are such
that none but themselves can per.
form, and that political responsible
ties imposed by the ballot can not
be borne by them without the sacri.
fee of the highest interests Of their
families and Of society.
A vigorous campaign is being pre-
pared, and much interest will be cen
tered on the contest.

Eve RMLes For Borvooyinq Money

Five rules designed to convince farm
ers hiatt there is no magic in credit
are set down in Farmers Bulletin
593, "How to Use Farm Credit"
which the department has just pub
lished. Unless the farmer who is
thinking Of borrowing money fully
understands these rules and is willing
to be guided by them, the Govern
ments advice to him is: don't. As
it is, there ar eprobably almost as
many farmers in this country who are
suffering from too much as from too
little credit.
Of these rules the three most i'm
portant are:
l.. Make sure that the purpose for
which the borrowed money is to be
used will produce a return greater
than needed to pay the debt.
2. The length Of time the debt is
to run should have a close relation to
the productive life Of the Improvement
for which the money is borrowed.
8. Provision should be made in
longtime loans for the gradual re-
duction of the principal.
The first rule is, Of course, the key
to the wise use Of credit. Between
borrowing money to spend on ones
self and borrowig money to buy equip
ment Of some sort with which to make
more money there is all the difference
between folly and foresight, extrav-
agance and thrift. If the money is
borrowed for a wise purpose ii will
produce enough to pay back principal
and interest and leave a fair margin
Of profit for the borrower into the
bargain. I it is borrowed for a foolish
purpose it will produce nothing and
consequently there will be nothing
with which to repay the loan. From
this point of view it matters compare
lively little whether the interest be
high or low. It is the repaying of the
principal that is the chief difficulty.
Rules 2 and 3 dea with the most
satisfactory ways Of repayment. Un-
derneath them both is the same prime
pal: The loan must be repaid with the
money it earns itself. For example

kAAzoNs or THE ALPS.
Big and 5raw.y, They DO che Rough
est KIND of Heavy Work.

GSA MIN q fF61NJ sCEka
On the mountainous slopes of the
Bardonecchian district of the Alps
there is curious race of powerfully
built people. For some reason best
known to themselves they build their
dwellings in spots inaccessible to ordi-
nary mortals. The people of the neigh
boring valleys are quite a different
class of beings and are looked upon as
weaklings, which they certainly are
compared with the sturdy men and
women who ascend the steep and rug
ged roads leading to primitive cottages.
The men are rough of mien and boast
physique that is extraordinary, but
they are not so remarkable as the wo-
men, who may be described as peace
full Amazons.
Most marked is the difference be-
tween the women who live in this por-
ton of Italy and the French ones
whose home is but a few miles away
in the valley of the Isere, between
Chambery and Modane. The latter are
ordinary peasantry, but the former at
tract the attention of the visitor imme-
diately by reason of their size, strength
and powers of endurance.
There are several types of women in
this district of the .unfrequented Alps.
Dark compilations suggestive of south
ern Italy, brunettes and blends may be
seen working side by side. All, how
ever, are tall, well built and muscular.
The work these women are capable of
and which they do cheerfully is enough
to terrify any average laborer in the
British isles. 1t is not a little gentle
farming or milking or anything that
can be done with comparative ease, but
hard, laborious work Of all kinds, re-
quiring much physical strength and
sustained effort.
To see women carrying loads of a
hundredweight and more for miles
along rough roads and up steep In
clines is quite common, and that
stranger should comment upon the
feat is to them incomprehensible.
They have been accustomed to work
since the days of their girlhood and
cannot imagine the delicate ladies OF
the big towns.-London Standard.
