RURAL CREDITS.

The Honorable Carter Glass, at a jefferson Day banquet, had
considerable to say about rural credits, such as authorized by the
democratic congress.
The Saturday News doesn't pretend to harbor all the knowledge
there rs concerning rural credits, but if, under the operations of
tasD Dill, the farmers are enabled to get money any cheaper or easier
we shall be surprised.
We. notice that President Wilson, in signing the bill the other
day, delivered a little prepared speech extolhng the law and telling
now easy IT viii be for the farmers to get all the money they need
he president made a similar speech when he signed the fed
eal reserve law-hoW it would be so easy for the farmers and the
merchants and the Manufacturers to get money when they need it
under the law he was then about to sign.
~ experience has shown that not a whit more money is in
circulatlon than was circulating before the law was enacted. Not
q dollar rs to be obtained any easier, either by the sweat of ones
lace or by borrowing with good collateral as security than was to
ne secured before the law became effective.
IL may be-at least, we are not herein stating to the contrary
mat a case OF a threatened panic-and were it not for the misery
tnat would follow we'd really like to see a panic sprung on the
country merely to note the operations Of the federal reserve Law
money might be a little more liquid, or elastic, so to speak, but as
TOT getting money easier n finding it more plentiful, or getting
tWen credt any easier, the average man has not noticed it.

our school-naster president so highly praised, will be found, we

The Pierre Captal-Journal prints a rather caustic editorial re-
garding the leave to print system which has developed in con

upon the public Perhaps it's cheap, after all.

The Germans seem to have recovered their second wind at
the western front.
If the entente allies win the war it will be because they have
Eore men and money than have Germany and Austria.
Unless all signs fail III fair weather, the size of the republican
majority in South Dakota depends upon the number of republicans
attending the polls in November.

III the Roosevelt view the re-
publican nominee is a man of
"austere courage.
1t is not hard to understand
what the colonel meant. The
country knows pretty we'll by

White House during the last
few years. We would all have
need of "auStere courage" for
those who had not already fall

austerity when the time arriv-
ed. 1t is evidently the colonels
view that Hughes would be less
sagacious than Wilson in set
Ting disputes without the
sword. He would be for "deeds
not words; therefore the col
onel'S enthusiasm.
But after all is it a question
of courage of a question of
sense? Is Wilson any less
courageous because he got
what this country wanted from
the kaiser without going to
war with Germany? Is he any
the less courageous because he
is working out the Mexican
problem without the necessity
of a bloody conquest of that
country? Did President Will
son lack courage when to set
tie the strike danger he took
hold of affairs as no president
ever did before and incident
ally told the allied financial
powers of the United States
where to "head in?
The colonel'S view is that
there is no courage except the
courage that sends men to
var. He lacks the balance and
sanity needed for safe leader
ship. If Hughes is what Col.
Roosevelt thinks he is, do the
mass of voters want him?
There will be a chance to de- !
ermine the point in November.

THE LESSER DANGER.

~ HERE are men who look
W. at affairs from the cor
poration standpoint who
fear the power of labor. They
imagine the country is men,
aced because the trainmen
brotherhoods have brought
about the realization of their
dream of an eight hour day.
A good answer to such fears
is supplied in an editorial from
the San Francisco Bulletin:
If these were no minority in the
United States with more power to dol
harm than the brotherhoods have
there would be no reason to worry
about the fate of the republic ri
there were no minority in the United
States whose power TO do harm was

had not been observing their behavior
in other cities if we did not KNOW
that they make good with smokers, we
could not afford to make these state

But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you

The laws of luck i'm politics are very

And many young apprentice hands

Experience employs a CAD TO reg

And Archibald was no exception TO

For frequently his fOndest hopes

His hgurative jacket INDEPENDENTLY

His mind is deep enough TO operate

And doesn't give undue regard TO
superficial facts.
He helped to- capture Warsaw by
the aid Of secret signs,
With Henry Wnrzer furthering his
great standpat designs;
But later on the democrats were
having all the fun,
To see the standpat crowd fall down
because they couldn't run.
But that was back i'm 1912, the

When William Taft was laid away

SO now he practices the law with

And earns with busy services his

And all of us regard him as our

\ GOOD MAN.
dayton, O.. Journal.)

dayton, O.. JournaI)
Few people ever heard OF Andrew
Freedman. once an intimate of
Richard Croker, the New York boss.
He was a quiet man: he didn't make
much fuss about anything that he
ever did; he didn't make much fuss
when he came to die: but he did
take the precaution. before he died,
10 make a will. He was worth. in
money. something like five million
dollars when he died. He had look
ed upon the world through sophis-
ticated eyes. He realized that men
grow old and that they may be cast
into the discard having done all for
society that they could do And he
didn't think that was right: so he
made a provision in his will to the
effect that half his residuary estate
OF S5,0OO,OOO should be used for the
ablishment of a home for the
aged who have been in good cir
cumstances but by reason Of adverse
circumstances have become poor
and dependent"
That is the sort of a rich man
that We call a good man. He was a
man who could feel and sympathize
with those who had once been even
as he perhaps was. He couldn't do
everything. but he did his part He
picked out the benevolence that he
thought was most worth while.
There Will be many who will agree
that he did a fine and noble thing:
that he was a good man.
