CHEAPER MONEY FOR THE FAR

Thousands Of farmers who have

proper educational opportunities by
the struggle to meet five-year mort

week, the Federal Farm-Loan Bill, gen

This legislation, predicted the presi-

the farmers Of the country, because,
in conjunction with "the very liberal
provisions of the Federal Reserve Act,
it puts them upon an equality with
all others who have genuine assets,
and makes the great credit of the
country available to them" This, he
further remarked, is an act of delayed

EDUCATED CRIMINALS" MIGHT
NOT BE CRIMINALS.

Kansas penitentiary has just given
out diplomas to 81 graduates who had
taken a college course in agriculture.
Commencement exercises were held
in the prison. This is probably the
first event OF The kind in the history
of the world
The work done by the prisoners was
the same as that which the Kansas
agricultural college offers to its home
correspondence students One hun
dred prisoners availed themselves Of
the chance to study. The 81 gradu-
ates were students in steam and cleo
trical engineering, carpentering, black
smithing, agriculture and motor engi-
neering.
Some of the graduates will not be
released from prison for several years
but the state has already found en-
ployment for those whose terms have
nearly expired.
The existence of this unique body
of college graduates indicates a pro-
nounced improvement in modern re-
form work with criminals.
Not even the most enthusiastic re-
former can prove that education pro-
duces good character But education
does create new ambitions in any man.
1t proves the futility of crime. 1t
makes a man seIf-supporting and thus
removes the temptation to many forms
of law breaking.
Governments now spend more
money on their prisons than on their
schools. The success of the Kansas
experiment is an instructive exhibi-
tion Of the eagerness with which even
criminals will seize an opportunity to-
fit themselves for dignified and re-
sponsible places in the community.
Perhaps some day society will know
enough to pay for preventing crime
rather than for furnishing criminals

Enthusiastically indorse. They are at
tempts at least to check the rapacity
of the profit-monger, and, tho, they
may not succeed in the long run, still
they are worth while"
What this new law does is thus con
cisely stated by the Chicago Journal
Dem):
"The bill creates a group Of twelve
farm-loan banks, presided over by a
Federal board OF five members, and
provides for loan associations. The
farmer borrows from the bank, through
the association, on mortgages running
from five to forty years. These mort
cages are used by the land banks as
the basis for farm bonds, which are
so drawn as to take rank with railroad
or any other bonds as a means of safe,
quickly reaIizable investment. In 9th
er words, this new law makes liquid
the enormous amount of capital now
lockedsup in the farm lands of Ameri-
ca"
The purpose of the law, in brief, ex-
plains the Boston Christian Science
Monitor, "is to bring together the small
farmer who wants to borrow money
and the small investor who has some
savings to be loaned on reliable Sc
curity." 1t will be beneficial, declares
no less an authority than The Ameri-
can Agriculturist New York;, "ac-
cording to the extent to which present
or would-be farmers take advantage
of the opportunities it offers them"
This influential organ appeals to both
the farmer and the investor to make
the new system a uccess.-Literary

not in the same degree with some 9th
ers share in the benefits of that life"
An influential Republican paper, the
New York Tribune, welcomes the new
law as thoroughly sound in princi-
pie and predicts that it twill be per-
fected gradually in practise" AS evil
dence that the American farmer has
not had adequate access to capital in
the past this paper notes that "out Of
a total of $21, ,000, 900, 600 Of loans and
investments made by American banks,
only about $2,25O,O 100000 go to the far
mers." Since one tendency of this law
will be to make our food production
greater and cheaper, says the Boston
Advertiser (Ind). it deserved the sup
port of all our lawmakers, regardless
of party politics. But the Democratic
Brooklyn Citizen can not refrain from
remarking that its passage would
have been impossible under a Repub-
lican administration, because, like the
Federal Reserve banking system, it
means the emancipation of the debtor
class from the money monopoly" And
