TO FIGHT LOAN SHARKS.

Chicago, New York, Dec. 21-(By
Union Associated Press)-It is said
that Chicago houses perhaps the
greatest number of loan sharks in the
country, next to New York city, where
a stubborn fight has been waged
against them for the past few years.
Revelations recently of a secret clear
ing-house and boycott of lists the
city's money lenders has resulted in a
concerted effort by a number of ex-
perts to formulate a law to limit the
amount of interest and fees that may
be charged by brokers to 8 cents a
month. The statute will be REIN
forcement Of the existing usury law
and provide ways for preventing abus-
es that are now made possible, in the
guise of discounts, charges for in
vestigation, reports and other servi-
1t is said that the average bus
of 1879 loan agencies totals SILL
SOC, 900 a year.

SOME CORPORATIONS FOR FARMING.

English investors in tea, coffee, sugar and rub
Der plantations are numerous, but in this country
there has been few efforts to develop great tracts
of land by corporations with unlimited resources
An editor of an economic paper published in
New York calls attention to two recently form
ed corporations, one of which plans to raise cattle
on a million acre tract in Florida and the other
to develop $4,000 acres of unsettled land in an
other southern state.
This is a new departure. Small farmers will
watch these enterprises with interest, because
the scientific management Of a large corporation,
coupled with its abundant capital, may reduce the
cost of agricultural production, enabling the big
concern to underscll its independent ~neighbors
and force them out of business.
We point this out as a possible development
of this century. The only way for farmers to
meet the competition of suc, ar org ~arization is to
be efficient, alert and on the job. Farming is rap
idly becoming the most business Ike business, re-
curing promptness, ability ard management.
The successful farmer of today is always working
he has to.

WORLDS LARGEST LOAN FOR
EUROPE'S JEWS.

New York, Dec. 21-(By Union As
ISOLATED Press)-Plans to provide q
gigantic loan, described as one of the
largest in the history Of the world,
without interest, to place the Jews of
Europe definitely beyond the reach of
suffering after the war, will be reveal
ed at a great mass meeting to be
held at Carnegie Hall tonight. The
proposed loan is distinct from the
$10,00o,000 fund now being raised by
the Hebrews Of the United States for
immediate succor Of starving Jews in
Europe. Conditions are described in
Poland and Lithuania as the most
desperate in the history Of the inhabi-
tants Of this country, which the
Kaiser asks in his peace term, shall

/. NO CHANCE FOR PEACE NOW!

There is nothing to be wished for more de
voutly at this time Of the year than the advent
of peace in Europe. Slaughter has held sway
long enough in that unfortunate continent which
has lost much of its wealth in men and materials
The Daily Commonwealth would be glad to
think that peace was near but unless some revo-
luton has been worked in the Entente capitals in
the last week the reign of war is firmer fixed to-
day than at any time since it began. Germany's
offer of peace discussions with the Allies means
nothing-it has been before them for a year and
more.
Americans are prone to think that peace dis
c~ussions having been offered by the Teutonic al
lies that their enemies should take them up.
They are apt to forget the facts which at this time
would make an acceptance Of terms a victory for
plete victory.
The Allies believe that Germany attempted
to dominate the world in August, 1914. They
think that Prussian militarism was responsible
for the effort. They think that civilization is
unsafe with the Prussian army at large, because
they say the Germans are not responsible &C
cording to their word, that treaties would not bind
them and that they have been guilty of unforgiv-
able sins. Rightfully or wrongfully they believe
that peace can never be lasting until Germany
has been thoroughly whipped, that she must be
punished, that innocent blood must be atoned and
that the culprits must pay the penalty.
To accept peace at this stage of the war upon
any terms which do not include the return to con-
ditions which existed before the war would be
an admission of defeat. Under any ~circumstan-
ces other than complete restoration the Allies
would give up what they say is the cause of civil
ization. And at this time it is not apparent that
they have any intention of doing so, or that, even
if they would, that the Central powers will give
back to them the territory taken in battle.
Despite the failure of the recent summer Of
fensive we think that the Allied statesmen believe
they can better their position on the war
map. As long as this view remains peace talk is
q waste of time.

MAKING MARRIAGE A FARCE.

The matrimonial tendencies of several well
known actors and actresses have been discussed
before. Norman Selby, better known as "Kid"
Mccoy, the pugilist, now OF middle age, has Sc
cured his eighth divorce. If he lives he may bet
ter his record, although it is only fair to the &C
tors of ability-natrimonial for the main part
to say that he divorced the same woman three
times, in 1900, 1901 and 1904, e~ffecting a recon-
Citation twice.
If the Courts kept a straight face while
granting these divorces, we are surprised. Re-
Gently a court in a certain state divorced scores of
couples in a day. The confusion of divorce laws,
the case in which divorces are obtained and the
tolerance with which the public looks upon divorce
makes the marriage bond anything but binding
or sacred in many instances.
