ment Is the Federal Aid Road Act.
This measure will conduce to the es-
tablishment Of more effective highway
machinery in each state, strongly in
huence the development Of good road
building along right lines, stimulate
larger production and better market
ing, promote q fuller and more attrac-
tive rural life, add greatly to the con-
venfence and economic welfare Of all
the people and strengthen Inc national

principles Of roao legislation and will
safeguard the expenditure Of the funds

available by States and localities.
IL. The Federal Reserve Act bene-
fits the farmer, as it does all the other
people of the nation, by guaranteeing
better banking, safeguarding the cred
1t structure of the country, and pre-
venting panics. 1t takes particular
note of the special needs of the farmer
by making larger provision for loans
through national banks on farm mort
cages and by giving farm paper a ma
turity period of six months.
II. 1t was essential, however, that
banking machinery be devised which
would reach intimately into the rural
districts, that it should operate on
terms suited to the farmers needs,
and should be under sympathetic man.
agement. The need was for machinery
which would introduce business meth
DDS into farm finance, bring order out
of chaos, reduce the cost of handling
farm loans, place upon the market
mortgages which would be a safe in
vestment for private funds, attract in
to agricultural operations a fair share
of the capital of the nation, and lead
to reduction of interest. These needs
and these ideals have been met by
the enactment Of the Federal Farm
Loan Act.
I am glad to have had an opportunity
to take part in the execution of this
large program, which, I believe, will
result in making agriculture more pro-
fitable and country life more confront
able, and attractive, and, therefore, in
sure the retention in rural districts of
an efficient and contented population.
Faithfully yours,

MEXICO is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, II Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Encouraging news continues to
come from Mexico, and the TRADES
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies,
but there is buoyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
of that suffering republic.
Americans, coming from that coun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
eminent there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, a Re
publican newspaper, which usually
crit1cises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the
facts, telegraphed from San Antonio,
Texas, by William G. Shepherd, war
correspondent of the United Press,
who has been one of the keenest OBJ
servers of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd, back from
a long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
q careful survey he reported conclu-
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: Mexico Coming Back;
Business Grows Brisk-Confidence in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up" In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
a dead rubber nation; it's got a
bounce in it. A summary of the
news from the heart of Mexico,
gathered in the last three weeks

improving. confidence in Carranza

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE !
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor of New Jersey, gave this
definition of a Progressive and
50 classified himself in an ad-
dress before the Kansas Society
Of New York, January 20, 1911:
"By Radical understand
one who goes too far, by
Conservative one who does
not 90 far enough; by Re
dictionary one who won't
90 at all. suppose | must
be q Progressive, which +.
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the six-year period since
standpatism was overthrown in
the House of Representatives in
1910, ninety per cent of the pro-
gram of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has been
enacted into law. Invisible
government" which is now max
ing desperate efforts to "come
back" has been driven from
power under President Wilson's
administration and will have no
place in Washington so long as
he Is in the White House.

CARDINAL GIBBONS AT
EIGHTY-TWO.

1t is stimulating to all fine
minds to contemplate the attain
ment by the venerable dean of the
American Cardinalate of his
cighty-second year. Last Sunday
lis Imincncc celebrated very
quietly his arrival at that high
milestone on life's pilgrimage. 1t
is an event which brings pride
and Joy, not only to all the Cath
Ole world. but to innumerable
friends and admirers outside the
Catholic fold. We may be per-
mitted respectfully to join in the
hosanna Of acclaim and aspira-
tons for a continuance of the fine
vitality and alertness of mind and
body which are the Cardinals
leading characteristics at this adj
vanced period Of his ever-active
life. The occasion was awaited of
by the exalted churchman to en-
phasizc how closely parallel run
the lines of true patriotism and
true religious obligation, i'll the
minds of the greatest thinkers.
This privileged class, whose vi
sion is clarified by a high spiritual
sense and austere morality of life,
all recognize the law that places
morality among nations, as well
as mankind, as the supreme raison
detre of mundane existence. To
this end they will continue to lab
or. through fair weather and
rough, fighting the forces OF sell
tlshness and greed with all their
energy while life holds out. The
distresses OF the world at large
perturb the sympathetic soul of
the Cardinal, while the clouds of
danger that menace Our own par
ticular horizon cause him to speak
out his mind clearly and forcibly
OH the obligations of true civic
duty at so critical time as we
are now passing through.
Speaking for publication on the
present war situation, the Cardi-
nal said, in effect, as to chances of
peace, that:
He feared all those concerned
are so defiant that'peace can only
come from exhaustion. He was

units to take the place of those
whose recent withdrawal forced
the Allies to impose the restric-
ton against shipments. We fail
to see where the boosted war for
humanity's sake" slogan fits eN-
tremely we'll in this case. 1t looks
more like decision which one
would expect to be handed down
by some robber baron of long ago
and is far from our conception OF
war waged along the lines of hui
manitarian motives.

effect, but before doing so it felt
bound to ascertain the real senti-
ment OF the Irish people, which
proved more unfriendly toward
the scheme than either the govern
ment or its Irish advisors had en-
pected.
John Redmond had the great
est difficulty in securing the sup-
port OF his followers whom he had
time to consult, and it soon be-
came clear that he could not carry
with him the general assent OF ma
tionalist Ireland.
Sir Edward Carson also Sc
verely strained his authority in Sc
curing the limited approval OF the
Ulster unionists.
The government was naturally
unwilling to impose on the Irish
people a settlement unacceptable
to them and it was found that the
plan tentatively offered to the two
Irish leaders would meet with
strong opposition both in Eng
land and Ireland. Hence consid-
cradle delay took place, but in the
result a great blunder has been
avoided. Opinion in Ireland is
obviously relieved by the with
drawal of the too hastily con-
structed scheme.
"lIome Rule at the end of the
war is perfectly secure and the
large measure of agreement
reached between Carson and Red
mond will doubtless be utilized
to improve the terms of the ulti-
mate settlement. Talk about
'dashing the cup of freedom from
the lips of Erin is sheer nonsense.
1t is true, however, that some Of
the contents of the cup were not
to her taste and she very sensibly
prefers to wait
