They Will Not 'COme Back"

will not "go back" to the republic

there ever is to be an amalgamation
of the two parties it will be by the
Republicans coming in with the Pro
gressives and nominating Pro-

The Money Power Can End 1t.

A Washington dispatch last
Thursday stated that }. +. Morgan
& Company had inquired of the state
department what the United States
governments attitude would be TO-
ward a French war loan of several
hundred millions to be floated IN
this country. Also that it was I'M
derstood that certain financial
houses have approached the gov
eminent with a view to ascertainlhe
it's attitude toward an Austrian loan
for an unnamed amount.
Think of it! The money power
of our country arranging for imam
cial aid to speed on the European
nations in death and destruction,
and consequent famine and pesti-
lence.
1t is to be hoped that our mon
~ kings will receive but little en-
enlargement from the government
rs to allowing these loans to be
made. There is just one power that
can stop this uncalled for war. II
it so desires, and that is the mon
ey power.
If the great bankers of the world
will unite and close their vaults TO
the kings and emperOrs whose per-
sonal jealousies have plunged their
patriotic citizens in the deadllest
strife of the age. this war Will soon
end.

The Government Will Investigate
UnWarranted Raise in Prices.

If the recent rapid advances in
the price of food stuffs are found
to be a plan by the large packers,
wholesalers, or commission mer-
chants to squeeze a little more mon
ey ont of the consumer. it seems
probable that the scheme will prove
Improbable.
These recent advances in prices
of the necessities of life are not
at Ill justified. The European war
has not advanced far enough to
cause a serious condition in the
United States, and further. this
country is not dependent upon Eu-
rope for its food.
National Representative Kelly has
demanded that Congress investigate
the situation. President Wilson has
called the attention to the Attorney
General to "the rapid and unwar-
ranted increase i'll the prices OF

Mr.. Halbert. a close observer and
student of political economy. says:

deal of talking about the POSSIBLE

ties, bat the Progressives have
nothing whatever to say on the mat

vided into three classes-the bread

men who are fighting for principle

only an incidental"
Under the heading 1.-THE Blow
Fallen" the Tacoma Tribune of
last Sunday says editorially:
The reactionary newspapers for
months have been persisting that
the Progressives were fl0cking back
to the ranks of the Republican par
ty. The PrOgressives have denied
the accuracy of these statements
and have called for proof. The re-
dictionaries have had the greatest
difficulty in furnishing evidence to
support their claims but they have
finally succeeded. The Tacoma

The 29th annual session of the

worth reading; for there was a swing

positions of the word were wonder
fully clear and convincing: Rev Isaac
Hodge of Wichita, Kan, who led the
singing and injected much enthusiasm
into it; our own Prof. Goodrich of
Albion college, who led the young
peoples meetings and Mrs. Joseph
Smith who conducted the meetings for
children.
So far as we attended the services
there was no altar call without response
and at times ii seemed as if the old
Pentecostal days were to be repeated.
The work was genuine and seemed to
be thorough; time will prove how
thorough.

FARM LOAN BRANCH TO
BUSINESS

George f.. Wagner has returned
from the Building and Loan Associa-
tons convention that was held in Han
cock last week. He reports the meet
ing as being very good one, and one
that was enjoyed by all of the MEM
bers of the association.
Among the important things talked
about Mr.. Wagner stated were credits
and farm loans. He said that it was
within the bounds of loan associations.
possibly more than banks, to carry
farm loans. Prominent speakers adj
vocated the Inauguration of some
method of helping the farmer borrow
money on his land for permanent i'm
provements or for making his farm
pay larger returns. The helping Of
the farmers by the loan associations
would, in turn benefit the bankers and
merchants Of the community. In as
far as the farmers prosper just so far
will the people and businesses in the
towns prosper
From reports given Mr.. Wagner said
that the Belding association presented
as good a showing as any other in the
district for its age. The local associa-
ton is comparatively young.
At the close of the session the opin-
ion was pretty generally accepted that
the farm loan branch of the business
shotild be encouraged although it
might require a different method Of
payment or "a change in the present
system of loaning the funds.
