KANSAS CITY
GREETS HUGHES

st. Louis, Sept. AFTER receiving
last night at Kansas City what was
probably the most enthusiastic recep-
tion of his campaign tour, Nominee
Hughes came to st. Louis reinvigor-
ated and ready to ram home further
assaults on the democratic admins
tration. 1t was believed that the
candidate would make some further
and clearer references to that portion
of his policies referring to the hyphen
in this city---the city with the second
largest German-American population
in the United States. In speeches
which he delivered through Kansas
yesterday Hughes took occasion to
elaborate his views on the necessity
for unity Of spirit in the movement
for Amerlcanism. He was expected
at tonight's meeting at the Coliseum
where his competitor in the presi-
Dental race was re-nominated only
three months ago-still further TO en-
large on these views.

he was TO shake hands with the

JupGEMENT IS JUSTIFIED

What would happen when a rail-
road should be built out TO the val
leys OF the Applegate and the Illinois
has long been favorite topic for
dissertion and discussion in Grants
Pass. The Courier has expatiated
upon the subject to the extent OF
columns of space, and the tonnage of
ore and of lumber and OF agricultural
products that would come with the
building of the road has been held
up as tempting bait to the Southern
Pacific for nearly q quarter of a
century. Then the people of Grants
Pass determined to quit the watchful
waiting game. and by a practically
unanimous vote they appropriated
$500. 900 OF their own money as earn
est Of their good faith. It is with
pleasure, therefore, that the citizens
who put up their cash so cheerfully
see their judgment justified For
the operation OF the first unit of the
road, running from Grants Pass to
Hays Hill, proves all that has been
claimed for the district the road is
to open up and develop. Every month
the traffic is increasing. and with the
road less than year old it is turn
ing a stream of shekels into the cof-
fers of the operating company. The
August business was most gratifying,
not alone from the amount OF freight
paid for hauling the products OF the
mine, the forest and the farm but also
from the Indirect dividend which the
road is paying the community as a
whole. The operation Of the mine
gives employment to many men, and
all the activities that have been given
new life because of the railroad are
leaving the impress Of prosperity upon
the district that comes within the
scope of their influence. The origina-
ton OF 1873 carload shipments OF
freight over the little 15-mile road
during the last month is full justifi.
cation for the confidence of the
Grants Pass public. The road will
be world-beater when 1t is built as
planned through the Illinois valley
and to the coast, and Grants Pass
and the tributary territory will de
velop at an equal pace.

Southern Baptists have just given a
remarkable demonstration of mission
ary interest by raising, in record time,
one hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars to pay off the Indebtedness of the
Foreign Mission Board. A little over
two months ago a vigorous campaign
to this end was begun, and the Exec

achievement, the Committee says:

Foreign Missions is very close to the
hearts of Southern Baptists. They
love the lost world and, like their
Master, are ready to suffer for it.
1T also gave US a new sense OF SOL
idarity. From Maryland to Texas,
and from Missouri to Florida, our
hearts beat as one. Men and women,
preachers and laymen, young and old,
rich and poor, combined their cner-
gies to accomplish this task.
Pastoral leadership throughout
the entire South never showed to bet
ter advantage than in these past two
months. Hundreds of pastors were
examples to the flock in giving and
led their chucrhes to do nobly.
THE very effective help of State
Secretaries and Boards is gratefully
acknowledged. These men of re-
sponsibility and influence took this
burden as their own. Their coop

ton fills out an appraisal for each
loan. Brown forwards these to the
land bank. The land bank apprai-
ser examines each farm and recon-
mends the loan. The mortgage pa

for dist ibution among the borrow

ceives a small fee.
Browns loan may run for any pc
liod from 5 to 40 years. With
each payment Of interest a certain
fixed percentage of the principal is
paid. If The interest rate is per
cent, and &c pays in per cent year
ly on the principal, the whole debt
will be paid out in 36 years, and
this clearing of the mortgage will
result from total payment each
year of 6 per cent of the original
loan, covering interest, expense and
instalments on principal.
Five per cent of Browns loan
comes to him in stock of his asso-
citation. If the enterprise makes
earnings, Brown will get his share
in dividends on his stock. When his
loan is paid in full, he receives 100
per cent on his stock in cash. 1t is
a cooperative system.
We have projected Browns eXpe-
rience q few months into the future,
but the plan is accurately outlined
Brown looks forward to January
list with confidence and entire
self-respect. He will receive on his
mortgage so per cent of the value of
his land plus 20 per cent of the value
of his buildings. He will make re-
pairs, lay drains, and buy live stock,

He will pay l per cent year on
the principal, He may pay as much
faster as he pleases after five years
and thereby reduce his interest pay
monts in proportion.
Banks will see Brown no more, hat
in hand, lips acQuiver courage ooZ-
ing. Brown and his associates have
q charter which makes available for
them and their neighbors long term
money on easy payments and at the
