EASILY OVERLOOKED

A small item in the papers a few
days ago heralded the fact that the
administration rural credits bill had
been introduced in congress.
It's not very exciting document.
1t merely has the object OF permitting
needy soil tillers TO get loans at less
interest. To frame it cost a trip to
Europe by commission in quest OF
information as to the workings OF
foreign farm credits systems, and
volumnious reports were made.
The president was said to have been
disappointed that the last congress
failed to pass rural credits legisla-
ton, which he considered it in duty
bound to do after all the previous
fuss that had been made over the
propositions, and III view of the fact
that the Baltimore platform eX-
plicitly stated that it was the inten-
ton of the Democratic party to frame
such legislation.
After three years i'll office the
president thinks it about time that
tardy congressman get to work on the
plankS OF the platform, whica. by the
way, also was plank in the Re-
publican and Progressive platforms.
1t looks as if something will be
done about it" at this session of con-
gress, and We may look for a rural
credits law at last.

TRAINED TO VOTE,

Next to citizenry trained to the use
of arms, we also need citizenry
trained to the use of the ballot.
Take the case of Henry Ford, for
instance. Mr.. Ford has admitted that
In 81 years, he only voted six times.
Mr.. Ford has been a very poor
citizen.
A man that will violate the duties of
citizenship in such a manner is not
entitled to lament at the degneracy
of the times. the rottenness of poll
tics, the mounting tax rate or the
disposition of people to let favored
few do their thinking for them.
One OF the threatening evils from
within ihe republic is the lack of
interest manifested through large
sections of the country in the duties
OF citizenship 1T every election,
hundreds OF thousands of the best
md mcLtally most able citizens of the
country do not take the trouble to
vote.
In our large cities hundreds OF
thousands of voters do not know the
name of their congressman or the
district in which they live. Politically
they are stone blind, and 60 through
tie formalitieS Of citizenship with
out eXpending an extra ounce Of
power.
They don't care.

the individual citizen, such an atti-
tude is w!ll.nIsh Grim al.
