they want to do is to adjust the mech
anism of exchange in order tc reduce
the adverse premium that there is on
their money in this country.
Lose Both Wheat and Money.
They admit that the European ma
tions will have to continue for time
at least to buy our manufactured
products, but claim they can buy
can? If they do not buy our wheat
probably we will have it on hand IF
we lend them the money to buy our
wheat we might lose both our wheat
and money.
Our eastern journals tells us that
1oaning a billion will not effect the
1oaning position of our banks. One
year ago money was tight and close,
and tell me what we have done to
create wealth by the billions in the
last year. If this loan is treated as
a strictly private matter and the men
of millions put their own money into
the bonds, that is their business, but
if big banking institutions tie up other
peoples money, it should be done in
the broad open light of publicity
Would this country be violating
the obligations of neutrality if they
should adopt the policy of selling any
country any of our country's manu-
featured commodities or raw products
at any time that the countries who
desire to buy them will come to our
shores, bringing the gold with them
in sufficient quantities to pay for
what they want to buy.
Keep Our Money at Home.
Extend no credit to any country
engaged in this unholy conflict and
we will have done more to bring about
the ending of this awful war than all
of the peace treaties now in exist
ence. Therefore, let us protect Jour-
selves by keeping our money and end
ing the war more quickly by refusing
each and all of the warning nations
loan.
Thank God, the law makers of Kan
SaS were wise enough to enact law
that will prohibit any state bank in
Kansas from investing its funds in any
of these bonds.
1 make the prediction that if this
loan is made, inside of one year the
holders of these bonds will not be
able to use them for collateral for
over fifty cents on the dollar.
Let's keep our money at home.

Ward as Delmer entered. But the
doctor, F. W. White, the Normal ply

thought different.

FARMER HANGS SELF.
Father and Sister of Logan Man Also
Committed Suicide.

Plainville, Kan, Sept 27--The
third death by suicide in that family
occurred here last week when James
Novotny a we'll known young farmer
of Logan township, hanged himself
to a rafter in the hay NOW at his
farm. The body is supposed to have
been suspended for an hour and one
half before it was found by a nephew
of Mr.. Novotny.
Novotny has been in poor health
for several years. This year he lost
his wheat crop by hail. Worry over
thought to have been the cause of the
act. He was only 80 years old. He
is survived by a wife and two small
children.
Novotny's father committed suicide
a number of years ago after he had
accidentally shot and injured his wife.
A sister also died by her own hand
two years ago at her home near here.

Wanted by Our Farmers.


While on the rate question, it seems
to me that it might be we'll to call
attention to the fact that New York
City recently issued and f1oated a hun
bred million dollars in bonds at the
rate of per cent. 1t might also be
proper to say that the French loan
due next March can be had on a bet
ter than per cent income, and to the
investor who desires to invest millions
of dollars are wanted by our farmers
and other lines of business at rate
as good as 5 per cent and far better
security.
1t seems somewhat amusing to read
the editorial comment of some of the
eastern financial papers in which they
say the people do not understand the
question of supplying a credit to Eng
land and France, and one paper
quotes Mr.. James ]. Hill as saying:
1.-The prosperity of a nation hinges on
this country making this Loan 1t
would be strange if a man as heavily
interested as Mr.. Hill is reported to be
in Canadian railroads would not IA
vor a loan of this kind. They say
further that England and France are
not asking for a loan, the proceeds to
be taken out of the country, but
rather to remain here They want to
borrow this money to strengthen their
credit proposition only understood
by high financiers. They further say
these countries are not bankrupt. All

Bryan on the 1915 Elections.

II any one who speaks as a democratic
leader can look through rosy-hued spectaces
despite surrounding gloom II is our many
times distinguished Nebraskan, William Jen-
nings Bryan. Thrice has our honored fellow
citizen been disappointed candidate for presi-
dent, but each time he has come back promptly
with the assurance that the prospects for demo-
cratic victory at the next election we're never
brighter
Reading the signs OF the times today, how
ever. MFR. Bryan is by no means assuring. The
elections OF 1915" he says in the latest issue
OF his Commoner, serve as a warning to the
democratic party. They indicate that the pro-
gressives have returned to the regular republi-
can party and the democrats can no longer hope
to win by division in the ranks of the opposi-
ton; neither can the democrats afford TO daily
with vital issues. In Massachu setts our candi-
date for governor, able man with a splendid
official record, was defeated. In Kentucky the
democratic candidate Congressman Stanley
made an admirable record in congress and is
great campaigner, but he was badly handicapped
by the position taken by the party"
But Mr.. Bryan never shuts the door OF hope
fails TO find a rainbow strand somewhere.
while the elections contain a warming" he
adds. there is reason why a democrat
should be discouraged. II the party will take
up the REFORM Work where IL was left AT the last
congress, adopt cloture, proceed to carry out the
platform and add to its record on economic
questions, Il has no reason to fear the cam
paign Of 1915. There, then, is Dr. Bryans
prescription. freely offered to the democratic
party TO cure It Of what ails It. II 1t does not
take the medicine according to directions, II
must prepare for the worst. The only open
question is whether the admonition ito proceed
to carry out the platform" includes the plank
pledging the nominee to the principle of a one
term presidency.

South American Trade.

Treasury department statistics show that
trade with South American countries has dou-
bled since the outbreak OF the war In Europe.
In theory, the trade of South America with out
side nations belongs to the United States in a
large measure. but facts have always confounde ed
theory in this instance. The building up OF this
business has been the dream of economists and
statesmen in the United States, the late James
@. Blaine fathering the first organized and sys-
tematic move to divert Il in this direction.
Others have since done much, notably Elihu
Root while secretary OF state but in spite Of all
this the South Americans have not traded with
us as much as natural tendencies would indicate
they would, though some progress has been
made. The war; however. has so disorganized
trade conditions in Europe that much of the
business has been diverted to this country OBJ
tanning It now, however. is an easy proposition
compared with the one to follow--holding Il
after the war is over. That European manufac-
turers will permanently surrender this rich field
without struggle is not to be supposed. but, on
the contrary, the best opinion Ia that with the
war ended these nations will seek out foreign
trade with greater energy than ever. They have
so wasted their own resources and domestic con-
suming power by the destruction of war that
other outlets must be found for manufactures,
and II will be a fight for existence with them,
and American producers. II they would hold the
field must entrench themselves while they have
the opportunity or be compelled to surrender
what they have gained

Men look for me beyond their doors,
They think I dwell in places strange,
IN distant fields or foreign moors,
And come their lives and thoughts ia
change.
l have been ukened to a god
That favors few, and many spurns;
Some think i am the magic rod
On which the wheel of fortune turns.
Men pray to me by night and day:
They sit and count the golden sum
That shall be theirs along the way
In distant years when / shall come.
They fill their children's ears with tales
or splendors l alone bestow.
Ano many a man in anguish walls
That have failed his worth to know.
What foolish superstition this!
Relic of books on dusty shelves!
How can Il be that men still miss
That / am born within themselves;
That | am with them every day,
Whether they travel, far or near,
Waiting to help them when I may
Ready their eager calls to hear?
am that spirit OF q man
That makes him want to be his best;
am the seed of every plan
He cherishes within his breast.
Alone I'm nothing but a dream
OF what, perhaps, some day may be;
Al that ] ever am or seem
The man himself must make of me.
