FARMERS ARE BENEFITED
BY THE LEGISLATION
Enacted By Demonstration
Republicans Came Far
Short OF Promises.

Cincinnati Enquirer, Independent
"The more than 100000 inquiries
received by the Farm Loan board
from persons DESTROYS of informa-
ton as to process of operation of the
proposed banks indicates the need
of just such a system and points out
with marvellous distinctness the re-
lief which the measure will bring to
the agriculturists throughout the
United States.
This rural credit legislation will
within the next five years completely
transform life upon the farms, and
millions of owners of cultivated
lands of the country will experience
financial relief through its benefi-
cert and helpful methods.
THE good roads, the auto vehi-
cles, the telephones the electric light
plants, the motor boats, the subur-
ban and rural electric railways have
made rural life much pleasanter
than before their advent. Now, with
those who employ borrowed funds
able to secure money at more rea-
sonable rates, and many with broad
acres and rich fields able to obtain
loans unobtainable at any rate in
the past in many instances, or when
obtainable. then at eXhorbitant
rates, these conditions must make
for vast improvement in the home
and the business life of the farmers.
But it is not only the farmers
who will be benefited by this adj
vanced and progressive legislation Of
the Democratic party.
1.-THE manufacturers of agricultur-
al machines, farm implements and
of all classes of materials used upon
the farms or in farming operations
will reap great and prolonged bene-
fits from this wise and helpful legis-
lation passed by a Democratic Con-
gress to further the interests of the
people of the United States.
1T is all right for our Republican
brethren to say we would have pass
ed such a measure; our administra-
ton favored it, our Congress, if
elected in November, would have
done this for the farmers. but there
stand before the people of this
country sixteen years of Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft, with Republican
Houses and a Republican Senate,
and there was not act for reform Of
the currency, no federal reserve
bank legislation, DO American ship
ping bill, and not line of legisla-
ton giving financial relief to the
farmers of the United States.
The record of good intentions is
sponged out by Republican failure
to act in the interests of the masses
Of the American people"

Charter Case Will
Be Decided Monday
JUDGE so ANNOUNCED, THEN
DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY MADE
HUMOROUS MOTION.

After a hard fought legal battle by
Attorney Harry Shaw in behalf of the
Republicans of Fairmont and other
friends of law and good government
had resulted in a statement by Judge
Raymond that his decision of the Fair
mont charter case would be read in
Circuit Court Monday, City Attorney
Walter Haggerty today in behalf of
Mayor Anthony Bowen and the re-
mainder Of the Democratic city COM
missioners who are technically code
PENDANTS with the Republicans In the
case made humorous effort to keep
up appearances by submitting a re.
quest to the court that the case be
decided.
The humor of the situation lies in
the inconsistency of the Democratic
attorneys who during the six weeks
that the case has dragged along since
the Supreme Court mandate reached
Marion county have been present in
the court house nearly every day and
yet have done absolutely nothing to
aid in getting speedy decision of the
case on its merits. Then after the
vigorous efforts of the Republican at
torneys had resulted in positive
statement by Judge Raymond that a
decision will be rendered Monday the
Democratic attorneys seek to square
themselves by. asking for the decision
on the merits of the case which had
already been promised.

Greek Christmas
Being Celebrated
FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE ARE
TAKING PART IN THE GER
EMoNlEs.

Fonr hundred members OF the ortho-
DIX Church in Fairmont and vicinity
are celebrating their Christmas this
week. The Russian church is branch
of the original Creek church, and the
Greek calendar is the one they OBJ
serve. The Greek Christmas is today
and Father Zemba of the local church
held the ceremonies this morning at
Christ Episcopal church. Many OF the
from the nearby mining
towns were present. This branch OF
the Russian Church is in the diocese
of New York and Bishop Alexander is
the head.
Father Zemba held services at Grant
Town last night and tonight viii De
at Barrackville. Tomorrow morning
ne will offfciate at Monongah and To-
morrow night he will again be at
Christ Episcopal church here.
The Greek church is the original
Christian church from which all the
others are derived, older than the Ro'
man and all other Christian sects. But
the Greek, or Byzantine church is now
divided and the Grecian, Servian, Bull
garian, Roumanian, Slavic and Rus
sian divisions are under separate pa
triarchs and independent of each 9TH
er. The Russian Orthodox church is
the established church Of Russia and
Siberia.

CLASH m HOUSE
Over war POLICY.
Rep. Gardner's Pro Ally
Speech AssaiIed by Three
Colleagues.

WASHINGTON, jan, Sin answer
to arguments advanced by, Senator
Hoke Smith and by the pro-Germans
and pacihsts for an embargo on ship
ments OF arms and war munitions to
the allies, Congressman A. P. Gardner
OF Massachusetts, yesterday declared
that should the European conflict end
now it would be an inconclustye peace,
which would mean another war
Peace in Europe today" said Mr..
Gardner, would be nothing but an
armed truce-a mere breathing
space" Nor did Mr.. Gardner approve
OF stopping the war with the plumb
er In Germany's grasp" and urged that
the United States should not "encour-
age pillage, sayagery and infidelity
by showing the world that Nation
may violate every law OF God and man
and yet be gamer thereby"
Representative Gardner was assaii-
ed vigorously by three Republican col
leagues for the speech. Representa-
tives Stafford OF Wisconsin and Long
worth OF Ohio, whose districts are
German.American centers, denounced
his statements as unwarranted and
particularly improper at TINS Tune.
Representative Cooper OF Wisconsin
joined in the criticism, but he had just
had time to declare that MIR. Gard
uer's speech might be expected in the
British Parliament when point OF Or
der cut short the discussion.
Later Mr.. Stafford apologized for
what had been construed as retiec-
ton on Mr.. Gardner's Spanish war ser.
vice, after Representative Moore OF
Pennsylvania had produced the othc'
ial record showing that the Massachu'
sets Representative had been promot-
ed for bravery. Mr.. Gardner had left
the House after speaking.
No Democrats joined Ia the argu-
ment, but they divided their applause
between Mr.. Gardner and his critics.

Germany Backs Down Com
pIetely In the. Submarine
Warfare Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Count Won

5osala % pay Indemnity for Americans

that controversy and
lgayesassurances that any German sub.
marines in the Mediterranean would
not attack non.combata ships OF any
character without warning or destroy
ftem without opportunity for non-com-
batants to reach place OF safety.
while Offering to pay indemnity IN
fhe Iusitania case, Germany makes
f6e reservation that it is done with
out admission OF wrongdoing. NO OIL
fetal Indication was given as to the
accaptability OF the proposal but one
set Of american officials took the view
that Il would end the controversy.
It had been known for some time
that Count Won Bernstorff had devised
aEpianSwhich he believed would salts
factorfIys end the Lusitania contro-
yersy: He was understood to have
submitted the propositions to the Ber-
i'm Foreign Office before Christmas.
Thereg was some delay because OF ad-
yerse sentiment created by the re-
quest for dismissal of the German
naval and military attaches and the
demands in the first American note
% Austria Hungary on the sinking OF
hegItalian liner Ancona.
As for the disavoval asked by the
United States, the German govern
mentSwas represented as considering
fhaJ the &most effective form Of dis.
ayoyalswas assurances that such acts
shoiild not be committed in the future.
Thel assurances regarding the conduct
NJ German submarines In the Medi-
ferranean were understood to be near
~ identical with those contained in
anstria,s reply to the last American
note on the Ancona.
The presenting OF the memorandum

5ranean}i is regarded by diplomats as
clever move. In taking this action
Germany has forestalled any move
fifaf the United States may have had
IN mind in the way Of addressing an
Identical note to the central powers
calling for more satisfactory assur-
ances on the methods of submarine
warfare. Germany. will now have the
advantage Of having come forward
withlassurances as regards the Persia
in advance. II the fact should be es'
fablIshed that a German submarine
