THE statiscal evidence afforded by
this study corroborates the evidence
afforded by other investigations or a
similar nature in this country"
The scientific fact is that the moral
qualities which we find desirable in
individuals are very largely the re-
suits of a family life. The sanest thing
that can be done for an orphan is to
plant it in a family and let it grow
up, belonging somewhere. Institutions
may be useful as shelters or jails, but
the conditions of life therein are not
likely to furnish the soil in which true
character is nourished. And so, after
all these years, the sociologists have
come around to the position of the
sentimental Victorians There is no
place like home, and the way TO settle
social problems is to make it more so.

tics-but ours is a generation that

BERGER DENOUNCEs ADAMsON
LAW

Chicago, October 2,--Victor Berger,
the first Socialist member Of Congress
has come out with a dcnunciatiOn OF
the Adamson law as unconstitutional
and declares in his Milwaukee Leader
that the President has "buncOed ev-
erybody, including possibly even him
self"
The great Socialist leader also de-
olares that Congress has taken one o,
the greatest steps in the direction OF
socialism ever taken--and when II
took that step Congress did so with
out knowing what It was doing
This particular phase of the situa.
ton pleases Mr.. Berger, of course, but
II is certain that the country at large
is not overioyed at the enactment OF
hasty sociallstic legislation, particu-
larry as it was jummed down their
throats, and now lies in a lump, undi-
gested, like a Spring cucumber.
Mr.. Berger draws the following de-
auctions from President Wilson's con
duct in the Adamson bill affair:
First, that the President and Con-
gress have settled nothing, but only
postponed the evil day of settlement
Second, that the Presidents action
in surrendering the would-be strikers
was prompted by political desperation
Third, that some one will surely be
goldbricked-either the trainmen OF
the country's producers and consum-
ers.
Fourth, that If the increase is grant
ed the trainmen, the rest of the peo-
pie will have to pay it.
Mr.. Berger adds:
"The worst buncoed element in any
case, however, is the great public, in
GLIDING the working classes, who not
only will have to pay the difference
in wages for the men, but also $500
in profits, dividends and interest fol
every S1.00 of increased wages pait

Moreover, in the event the wranglC
between the managers and the broth
crhoods leads to a strike after all
business will be paralyzed, there vii
be a general cessation, and the people
will face starvation during the perio'
the. managers and brotherhoods ar

In regard to the legal phases Of the
Adamson law, Mr.. Berger has this to
say:
Congress has passed a law which
1t has not the ways and means to en-
force. You cannot force the railroads
to pay a certain wage as long as they
are privately owned. You cannot conf
pei the railroads to this any more than
you can compel the owner of an Amer
lean newspaper or any other privately
owned enterprise to pay a certain
wage"

LESSON nm.

Q.-Why does the farmers son
leave home?
A.-8ecause, as a rule, the father
could not make the business of farm
ing-and FARMING is THE REAL
BIG MISUNDERSTANDING to the
boy. He had the land, but he was
LAND POOR. He hadn't the means
to start the son out on his own SUB
DIVISION of the farm, provide MIN
with stock, machinery, etc.
Q.-Couldn't he raise the capital?
A-Probably, but at %exhorbitant
rates Of interest on short time loans
with mortgages that eat into the
capital.
Q-How would the Gardner land
bank bill help the son?
A.-By providing him with capital.
The bank would lend him money at
4 $40 per cent interest for a long
term-up to 25 years. In this interest
charge would be included IL per
cent for the sinking fund. this reserve
fund being for the protection of the
state and eventually to pay back the
1000, 900 which the state is to lend
the bank az working capital. On this
original capital and through the sale
Of debenture bonds, secured By notes
and deeds of trust based on one-hali
the cash value of the land, the bank,
1t is expected, will lend $4,000, 900 to
Missouri farmers, and in time bring
at leas: a hundred million dollars Of
new money into the state, for the
same purpose.
Q.-Then the bank is entirely for
the farmers benefit?
A.-Exactly. No loans for specula.
ton are possible. The Gardner bill
specifies that the money borrowed
shall be used for paying off liens and
encumbrances, one-fourth of the loan
being allowed for the purchase of
stock and machinery.
Q.-How would the farmer go about
getting the loan?
A.-By making application to the
bank which is to be located at the
state capital, and the officers of which
are to be the governor, secretary of
state, attorney general, state auditor
and state treasurer, with the state
bank examiner as director. You see,
the fact that these officers will re-
ceive no extra pay is one Of the rea-
IONS why a low rate of interest can
be charged. And there will be no
dividends because there will be no
stock shares. After the application
for the loan is made the state bank
examiner would send an appraiser to
pass on the value Of the land.
Q.-How would he appraise the
value?
A.-By consulting authorities in the
community, including the COUNTY
OFFICERS, who would receive no fee
Q.-For how much and how long
would the loan be made?
A.-For 8, 10, Is, 20 and rs years.
in amounts not less than $3.50. and
not more than $4,000, on half of the
cash value of the property.
Q.-Please repeat: How would that
figure out?
A-Well, for instance, on a 25-year
loan, the annual payments would be
$3.50 on each 500 borrowed. This
