SKAGWAY DRY
 THE REST WET
JUNEAU HAS A LANDSLIDE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING
 SALOONS.

JUNEAU, June 8.-Juneau has gone wet with a landslide and most of the other towns in the First division have gone the same way but Skagway has gone dry by close vote. Out of over two thousand votes cast in Ju- neau, and afidavits besides, only 2S4 actual dry votes were registered. Douglas City and Haines also went wet. In the Skagway voting the vets boiled 153 and the Dries 193 but there are forty-two votes sealed. If two or three of the sealed votes are for dry only it will decide. It is conceded that the result is for dry town.

GIVE
 TEDDY NOMINATION

CHICAGO, June S.. The Progress sives have nominated Theodore Roose- welt and NIr. Roosevelt has sent word to the Republican convention that he would come to Chicago and address it if he is invited to do so. So far there is no indication that his offer will be accepted. The Republican platform committee has declined the Prohibition platform plank but has tentatively adopted the woman suf- frage plank by a small majority. The question of the choice of a president ial candidate is still in the air. Every one is guessing but no one seems to be certain or even to feel that there is much ground to base a guess upon.

NO PEACE COMES AT MEETING
 OF STRIKING LONGSHOREMEN

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.-AI hope of peace in the strike of ongshoremen which has tied up shipping all along the coast was abandoned last night when the Pacific Coast District Board of the Industrial Longshoremen an nounced at the conclusion of the meeting that there will be no cessation of the strike until the Union demands were compiled with It anticipated that the meeting would lead to settlement and the failure to come to some ar rangement has created tremendous dissatisfaction The great majority of the employers declare that they will never accede to the full demands of the men and the em pIoyees are apparently just as determined to fight to the end The tying up of shipping beginning to be felt very acutey as the days wear on and leave business at stand still

HOW THE CONVENTIONS VOTE

In the Republican convention, pre- cedent has established that majority vote is sufficient to nominate. Di- vision of state votes is also permit ted by custom.
 The Democratic convention is gov erned by the "two-thirds" vote and that "unit system-that is, two-thirds is necessary to vote, and the votes of individual state delegations must be cast en bloc. This practice dates back to the 1892 convention, when Jackson invented it to force Van Buren's nom ination as vice-president on the ticket with him.
 Political convention originated in 1796, when "caucauses" were held in various states to select officials and candidates. The first state nominat- ing convention of regular form was called in New York in 1924.
 The first real national political con vention was held in Philadelphia in 1880 by the Anti-Masonic party. Ex- actly a year later, to the day, Septem- Der 29, the National Republican" party met in convention at Baltimore and nominated Henry Clay.

Of course, l do not know exactly
how the problem will be solved by
the Republican Congress next win
ter. l simply know that even those
Republicans who voted for the Hollis
Rural Credits Bill say they reocgniz-
ed that any law establishing any form
of rural credits is better than no law,
but that they are counting upon quick
action when they get into power, in
correcting the bungling machinery of
the Hollis Law, and that they all rec
ognize that the Law does not go half
way until it takes care of the land
less man. | have talked with many
of the members of Congress on this
subject. They have quoted to me
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan's assertion
that Character is the very best Sc
curity for loans" Collective char
acter, collective credit, increases that
security just as the weaving together
of many strands of a rope increases

by the banker provided the banker is
willing, but there is no compulsion
about it. Now, if the banker hap
pens to have some calls for money
from his big customers, the big
manufacturers or merchants of the
City, about the same time as you
come in for a renewal of your note,
he is quite likely to refuse you. Any
borrower who has to ask for a re-
newal is second-class customer.
The banker doesn't like it. At any
rate, you are at the mercy of the
haven't any rights that the banker
is obliged to respect when you go to
ask the favor of a renewal. And
that is absolutely all the benefit that
the Reserve Bank Act holds out to
farmers. 1t invites you to put your
head into a trap, to submit yourself
to the liberality and benevolence of
your banker
Now, what is the sense of any
body's setting up a claim that it is
impossible to provide personal Gre
dit cooperative system for fnanc-
ing farmers without real estate Sc
curity? There isn't a country in
EUROPE where the falsity of that
claim is not demonstrated.
We don't usually look upon Italy
as the most progressive of the Euro
pean nations in finance and commerce.
We think of Italy in connection with
it's big picture galleries rather than
with its hard, practical business ma
chinery, yet Italy has solved the
problem of personal credits which
these Democrats say cannot be solv-
ed in enlightened America. In Italy
there are more than 900 personal Gre
dit banks actually owned by the bor-
rowers. They were started on the
oasis of the collective credit of in
dustry only, and through a series of
years the total losses of these 900
banks aggregate only 6-100 of / per
cent. of their loans Similar credits
institutions are so successful in Ger
many, France, Denmark, Sweden, Eng
land and. the smaller countries of
Europe, as to make the assertion that
they are not possible, simply ridicu-
lous, yet the Democratic Congress is
50 eager to glorify it's "Bank of
Banks" the Reserve Bank system,
that it cannot think out any way
whereby the honesty, the character,
and the industry and intelligence of
American farmers can be financed
safely.

Dear Cousin Ned:-
It is a wonder that some of you
horney-hsted farmers did not throw
that smooth-tongued stock sales man
right into the lake when he proposed
to fleece you by selling you stock in
the Joint Stock Rural Credits Bank
ut double it's face value. l am glad
that my letter reached you in time
to put you onto his game. The idea
OF a city sharper expecting to sell
bank stock having a par value of
500, to the farmers for 5000, out of
which he would keep at least $50 a
sharel And yet it is no more prepos-
ferrous than for the leaders of the
Democratic Party in Congress to say
to the tenant farmers and to the
millions of farmers that are stranded
in the cities, that since it had passed
the Reserve Bank Act the farmers
don't need a personal credits system.
The longtime farm mortgage loan
act which they have passed does not
reach the needs of farmers who have
no farms to mortgage or who don't
want to put a longtime mortgage on
their farms. The platform of all
political parties both in 1912 and 1916
promised Agriculture adequate re-
lief from its financial disadvantages.
The Democrats have been asked for
fish and have given a serpent. Farm
ers expected bread and have gotten
a stone.
Let us take a few minutes to in
vestigate their absurd claims that the
Bank Of Banks" called the ere
serve Bank" is going to be of sub
stantial help to the intelligent, hard
working, honest tenant farmer or to
the city wage Garner who was raised
on farm and who wants to get back
into the country. Remember that that
means far more farmers than are
affected by the Farm Loan Mort
gage Act. The Reserve Bank Act
permits national banks to rediscount
farmers notes with the Reserve
Bank, under certain conditions. The
notes must not run for longer than
six months. AS a practical farmer,
tell me how many crops can be plan
ned for, seeded, harvested and mark
eted so that the cash returns are
available to pay a note at the bank
within six months from the time the
note was given? You want to plan
your crops not later than March. Most
crops require all summer to grow
Your harvest may come in August
but your cash doesn't come for many
weeks after harvest, as a rule. In
other words, you wouldn't have your
cash in time to take up the six
months note, and you would have to
go to your banker and ask for a re.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-

these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity. But
when you have a proposition to

have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is just one.
Labor, of course, should not

WHY FARMERS PROSPER

Do you own car? If so, pick
up some of your neighbors and
drive out into the country and use
your eyes and your native ihtelli-
gence. Just take note of the
prosperous condition of the farm
ers everywhere you go. Are they
making their money and building
beautiful homes and buying cars by
simply drifting? Not much! They
work, and they use their brains and
their ingenuity as well as their
hands. No drifting with them. If
they see an opportunity to improve
conditions by the purchase of a
piece of new machinery, they buy
it in a hurry and start it to earn
ing more dollars for them. If they
think they are not getting the
proper returns from their acreage
they dig down and unearth the
cause and go to work promptly to
remedy it. ''Good enough" does
not appeal to them. They want
something better, and they get it
simply because they have the will
and the determination to go after
it. They are climbing the ladder
every day, and they have already
worked their way far up toward
the top. They never drift.

Its Organization, Aim, Growth,
Maintenance Urgent Need Of
Better Equipment.

At this time when so much is
heard of America preparedness"
to meet the exigencies of world
condition, whether of war or peace
the question of paramount i'm
portance is that of speeding up
to the utmost possible efficiency,
our young people, educating, fit-
ting and preparing them for the
places they ought to take in the
worlds work. What more vitality
important work then, than the
training of our young women for
efficient service in Foreign, Home
and City Missions and as Church
and Sunday School workers? Such
an urgent need was felt in our
own state q number of years ago
and the hearts of Louisville Baptist
Women were stirred within them,
when in 1904, DIR. Carver reported
that four young women were at
tending classes at the Seminary
and were enduring all sorts of in
commences and discomforts for
this privilege. A mass meeting was
held and Mrs. S. E. Woody was
elected chairman of committee
to provide home, protection and
a course of instruction for all girls
who might desire to prepare them
selves for this noble work. A
house on 4th Avenue was rented at
$40 month and furnished by gifts
and loans from several missionary
societies. Mrs. Wigel was installed
as House Mother and the first din
ner in the new home served on
Thanksgiving Day, 1904. Through |
the courtesy of the Southern Bap-
fist Theological Seminary the stu
dents were admitted to the classes
of that institution. The work NOV
ed forward with amazing rapidity
and reports of the undertaking
soon spread over the state. Gen
erous donations continued to come
in from various places. The num-
Der of students steadily increased
until in 1905, larger house at 9Th
and Broadway was secured and
twenty-five new pupils were admit
ted. For three years the work
was continued by Kentucky women.
In 1907, the institution was adopt
ed by the Woman's Missionary I'm
ion of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention and in that same year, the
present building, located at 1874
East Broadway, was purchased
with a generous gift of $2O,5OO from
the Sunday School Board. In
1910, with wise foresight, the
w. NJ. U. began fund for en-
so that in April, 1914,
the valuable corner lot adjoining
the school was purchased for $780,
600 cash. An old building which
stands on the lot has been used
to accommodate the
overflow of students, but it is in
