President Poincare's ability and his
tastes are in the direction Of action
and party leadership. He does not
find the fullest opportunity for his ex.
traordnary talents as a public man In
the presidential office, which in
France, is detached from politics, and
somewhat of a ceremonial position.
NJ. Poincare, during his recent visit
to Lyons, gave his conception of the
duties of a president Of France.
"The president said M. POincare,
SHOULD be a stranger to the inevi.-
able divisions of q French Democracy.
He should be and remain want to
repeat 1.-THE president of all French
men. He should carry out with scru.
pulous loyalty and constant care of
the real national interests the part of
arbitor and councillor conferred on
him by the constitution. France has
undergone the sad experience of per.
sonal power and will not renew it.
She expects to direct and control alb
solutely by means of her appointed
representatives the daily doings of
responsible cabinets" President
POincare then concluded with a fine
passage which might apply to the
ruler of any country.
1.-THE president of the Republic
should endeavor to raise himself
above private interests, ever the most
legitimate ones, and should seek in
all things only The general good. He
should free himself from all that is
contingent, and ephemeral so as to
strengthen in his mind a realization
of the permanent necessities. He
should separate the questions pre-.
scented to him from all fortuitous COM
plications, and shouiu endeavor to
consider them purely from the point
of view of France" :
London, June ga departmental
committee which, has been going into
the conditions OF agricultural credit
in Ireland find that the Indebtedness
Of Irish farmers has beer increasing
at the rate of 500. O,Ov0 a year since

land. The opinion is given in the re-
port that facilities for supplying cred
it on sound lines to the smaller and
medium rural classes in Ireland are
inadequate. The professional money
lenders have made an invasionaof the
island, and nearly have driven out the
"gO,nbeen men,, who are saloonkeep-
ers and shop.keepers serving as mon.
ey lenders.
AS a solution of the credit problem
the committee suggests that rural
ireland might itself supply the money
1t needs, since the rural community
has $4,000, 900 on deposit in the Post
Office Savings Banks, a huge sum
which is transferred to London for
investment in government securities
when it might be employed at home.
The committee recommends the es-
Enlistment of a sound system of CO
operative credit to safeguard the far.
mers from m0ney-lenders.
London, June 25.-On the heels Of
the recent golf championships there
broke out a fierce lettef to%-the-press
battle, which still RACES on the merits
of the game. In the provocative arti-
Gle, "Anti-golf" signed himself to q
general denunciation of the game,
both for boys and elders, but parti-
cularly branded it as altogether unfit
for school boys. Under no circum-
stances should they be allowed to
play 1t, he commended. It was a pas
time, not a game, and lacked the dis
cipline and spirit of team games.
