AS is pretty generally known,
Wilbur P. Graft, cashier of the
First National bank, of this
place, has decided to seek the
Republican nomination for
State Senator from this, the
37th senatorial district. MIR.
Graft exhibited some hesitancy
at entering the race, due large
ly to the fact that he never had
political ambition of any sort
and because his business inter
ests are SO great that it involved
considerable sacrifice on his
part to serve the public in this
capacity. 1t was impossible,
however, for him to resist the
opportunities brought to bear
by the very best people
of this and other communities,
and when to this was added the
knowledge that as State Senator
he could be eminently useful to
his friends and neighbors he
telt it his duty to comply With
the demands made upon him.
Not only is Blairsville, but the
entire district as well, favored
by having a man of Mr.. Crafts
calibre and attainments consent
to represent them in the higher
branch of our lawmaking body.
In too many cases the seekers
after office are men who are
looking toward their own self
aggrandizsement or who are
puppets in the hands of design
ing politicians, mere Punches
who squeak and dance as their
master wills. With Mr.. Graft
it is different. He will ge es-
sentially the peoples candidate
and will not be representative of
any factional interest. He has
the friendship Of the members
of all factions and men of all
parties and creeds are support
ing him. When he goes to Har-
risburg he will bear no mans
label and there will be no dol
lar mark on his forehead. He
will be entirely free to carry out
his platform, which is that he
will support all measures and
legislation tending to the ma
terial welfare and moral uplift
of the people.
There is no need for The
Courier to indulge in any eulogy
to Mr.. Graft. He is BlairsVille
born and bred. During all his
life he has gone in and out
among US and his life has been
as an open book. What we can
say makes him no better or no
worse than the people know him
to be, but when it is said that if
elected State Senator he will be
a credit both to himself and his
constituents and that he will
stand for the right along all
lines it is only reasonable to ex-
pect that the declaration will
be followed by chorus of
hearty "amens." -Blairsville
Courier.

CARLYLE CALLED US BORES
Equality Developed Monotony Of Type
in country's Second Epoch, Was
His Assertion.

Prof. Max Farrand of Yale. lectur-
ing on American Traits" as developed
in the epoch Of 1912 to 1910. said
at Lowell institute recently, the Kan
sas City Star observes:
Equality OF status is, of course,
not a characteristic. but a condition:
yet it is a factor which has led to
the development of important Ameri-
can traits Here. where, if absolutI
equality did not exist. at least there
was far greater equality than there
was anything else; where, if there was
not equality of opportunity for all,
there was at least some opportunity
for all, the European relationship of
superior and inferior classes could not
long continue. The inferior of today
We're too likely to become the 'supe-
Tior' of tomorrow
This meant, of course, a great stim.
illus to independence, and developed
the peoples self-reliance. Independ.
ence is one of the most conspicuous
American traits. and it has been not
without unpleasant manifestations. 1t
has induced a lack of respect for au-
thority and for elders, and the exist
ence of equality has tended to a re-
markable monotony among the people
who developed these opportunities, till
Carlyle could say: Americans have
begotten, with a rapidity beyond re-
corded example, $4,000, 900 of the great
est bores ever seen in the world be-
FORE
Yet in contrast with this deadly
equality, the existence of opportunity
for all individuals also led to a strong
individualism among Americans, Civ
ing each man a chance to develop
what was in him. Hence our love
for the self-made man, and hence the
American devotion to leaders rather
than to principles"

usually very small is invested in stock
OF the regional bank, and interest of
4Gc per annum is paid upon the same.

optional with the local banks. as is
also the extent of liability or the in.

varying from liability merely for the
capital stock to unlimited liability. as
in the case of the Raiffeisen Banks.
Only about onefourth of the local
banks in France have adopted the un-
limited liability system.
Loans must be secured by collateral.

three months to one year Rates Of
interest are very low. ranging from

In France there are two agricultural
credit institutions first. the credit
Foncier, or longtime land mortgage
credit institution; second, the Credit
Agricole. or short-time personal credit
system. The Credit Foncier is a stock
company. organized under the strict
est government supervision, the Gov
ernor and two Vice-Govern0rs bsing
appointed b. the President of the Re
public. Its capital stock was origin
ally $4,000, ,000. the state having grant

now, however. it's capital stock is
s45 900. 600 and il is Independent Of
government aid II pays annual Giyi-
dends of 64re and its stock in 1914
was worth about $50 in the open
market.
The Credit Foncier makes loans on
agricultural land and TO municipali-
ties. II operates on substantially the
same basis as the German Landschaf-
ten. except that it IS not cooperative.
X makes short-time loans not TO ex-
ceed nine years and not subject 10

also long time loans which run from
ten to seventy years, repayable by

The Credit Agricole, the sbort-time
personal-loan institution Of France. is
organized upon a plan from which orr
new Regional Bank system Of Banks
was probably derived BY laws of
1894 and 1899. the local agricultural
banks of certain area or distrie re
grouped together under a .eeiunal
bank Through these regional bar ks
the local banks do their business. and
the French Government hes placed at
the disposal Of the regional banks. in
order that they may lend them to the
local institutions, large sums Of money.
which the Bank Of France is bound
to lend them without interest. These
funds are distributed among the re-
eional banks by a special committee
named by the minister of agriculture.
The local banks are composed in
whole or in part of one or more arri-
cultural syndicate or buving-and-sell-
ing societies The local bank acts as
the guarantor of the financial obliga-
tions OF the individual farmers or
groups of farmers, to the regional
banks, which in turn do the real bank
ing business, securing the money. etc.
The most common method is for the
regional bank to discount the bills Of
