3Co)umbia. Dot. 2s.--FArmsrs, msr-
ehAnta banksrs and business men
nom practically every section Of
oou<h Carolina appeared before the
teasral farm loan board at hearing
yeasrday and indorsed Columbia as
ths iogical site for one Of the IL farm
loan banks TO, bc established In the
United States. An Impressive array of
nets Was presented and the Columbia
supportsrs after two sessions of sew
sral hours each left the federal court
room convinced that this city will re-
csivS most favorable consideration a,
the hands Of the board. The board Is
naking tour OF the ountry and q
member Of the party said that the
board had not met with such enthus-
iAsm at any point where the claims of
the various cities have been present.
"a.
IL was announced at tho hearing
that the location OF the loan bank cen.
tres vii be announced about Decem-
Der rs and that the banks will be
rsady for business early In February.
IL was brought out at the hearing
that the act which was passed recent
" BY congress promises a sure deliv-
srancc from the high interest system
prevailing In tho South and that by
long time loans with low rates of In
tsrs~t the agricultural people will be
gtven a new lease on life.
In practically all OF the testimony
! presented II was shown that the farm
|ioan banks will AFFORD means where
by the farmers may turn to diversifi-
cation of crops. The lack of an equi-
table credit system. u was pointed out
has been one OF the obstacles In the
way Of the Southern farmer who
wanted to diysrsify his crops. -
"Houth Carolina is prepared: We are
ready TO enter the system tomorrow" I"
said II. J. Watson. commissioner OF
agriculture. In announcing that IS
local farm loan associations had al
ready bean formed In South Carolina.
He told the board that at least 100
associations would be formed before
the end of the week and that 400
communities Of the State were dis
cussing the organization of associa-
tions. The statement that South Car
olina In now prepared to join the fed
srai system seemed to have a telling
eject on the members OF the federal
board.
The members OF the federal hoard
attending the hearing were George w.
Norris. Charles r.. I.obdell and w. =.
Smith. They were accompanied by
y. =. II. Won Engeiken. director OF the

partment. and Claude DeBaun. secre-

Pageantry on March 4.

Chairman Harper of the inaugural
committee is to name special com
mittee under the chairmanship of Com
missioner Brownlow to consider the
proposition to give the inaugural parade
more the character of an historical
pageant than the mere procession of
military and civic organizations, the lat
ter of more or less partisan character.
There can be little doubt of the desira-
bility of such change, in part at least,
from the point Of view of the spectator.
While the inaugural parade is impress
sive in its proportions and in some de-
tails, it is rather overpowering in size
and has a somewhat monotonous effect
after two or three hours of unrelieved
lines of marching men. To substitute
for some of the regiments and clubs cos
tuned portrayers of historic characters
in groups representative of episodes in
the nations life or expressive of the ad-
vancement of the people in their phys
ieal and cultural evolution would add
greatly to the significance and interest
of the parade.
While there is little time for prepara-
Evening star., 1916-12-28

tion along these lines before the 4th of
March something can be done, If the
inaugural committee approves, to give
touch Of pageantry to the procession
on that day. Less time was available
for the organization Of the preparedness
parade Of June, which was a marked sue
cess. By concentrating on few pageant
features they can be made especially
impressive and should serve as guides
to future efforts along this line at in
auguration time.
Those who have advanced the pageant
idea realize fully that there is little
chance for more than a beginning at
the next Inauguration, owing to the
shortness Of the time, but they are wise
ly planning to continue their effort after
the Inauguration in anticipation Of the
event of 1921. In the course of the
next four years much can be done in the
way of public education in pageant
thought so that the induction of the
President into Office in 1921 may be in
the best sense widely national patri-
otic expression. ..-

Villas Accessions and Progress.

Francisco Villa has way of doing
things at the psychological moment.
Whether he times his moves shrewdly
or has merely the good fortune of CO.
incidence is not known But the fact
remains that he usually turns up with
stroke just when matters are in critical
condition in the relations between this
government and that of Carranza The
latest instance is that of the accession
by Villa of several hundred Carran-
zistas from the garrison at Villa Ahu-
mada, with a strong intimation that
Gen. Gonzales, recently deposed at
Juarez by Murguia, is likely to join the
Villistas with his command of 500 men
1t cannot be doubted that "Pancho" has
more prestige in northern Mexico than
Carranza or any of his generals. He
seems to gain recruits wherever he goes,
probably because he is able to feed and
clothe them, while, judging from some
of the reports from the border, the Car
rama army is seriously in need of equip
ment. The loyalty of the average Mexi-
can soldier is rarely equal to such con-
siderations as those Villa, with his
rich loot from Chihuahua and Torreon,
is able to hold out. At the present rate
of progress Villa, whose advance has
been steady since he made his spectacu-
lar attack on Chihuahua, will soon be at
Tampico. He is now within 200 miles
of the coast, and his force is reported
to be constantly increasing through such
accessions as that just reported from
Villa Ahumada. If matters continue
thus to develop Carranza will be very
gravely embarrassed and the Queretaro
constitutional convention will become a
fruitless formality.

The Boy and the Book.

The boy has put away the book
That tells of fairy power.
He cares no longer now to look
Through Fancy's mystic bower.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" he lays by
With cynicism grim.
A building twenty stories high
IS nothing strange to him.
The magic carpet that inspired
The old Arabian tale
Is not so much to be admired
Since aeroplanes prevail.
The Seven League Boots-what good are
they
When you would travel fart
The boy cares not for them today.
He wants a motor car.
Yet all attentively he reads
And occupies his mind
With men who did heroic deeds
And still we're good and kind.
The fairy books are laid aside
No thrill they now impart,
For hunbled is the elfn pride
To hlnan AgRip and heart.

Railroads and Brotherhoods.

In New York today representatives of
the leading railroads of the country and
representatives of the four brotherhoods
of railroad employees are in session dis
cussing the eight hour law and the re-
lated questions. It is not expected that
anything of great Importance Will take
place. Both sides are awaiting the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the case
now before that tribunal on appeal
The general situation at present gives
the country not the slightest alarm. All
is very different from the situation that
existed last summer Then the threat
of nationwide strike created nation
wide uneasiness, and Congress, trembling
before it, passed in a hurry a hastily
drawn and very unsatisfactory measure
Politics cut figure in the business; and
although some republicans supported the
measure, the President, as was designed
got the benefit at the polls.
1t is, of course, matter of opinion,
and will always be, as to whether the
threatened strike would have been called
and if called how long it would have
lasted, had Congress refused to act on
any part of the Presidents recommenda-
tions. There are men of weight and
observation, some in the business world
and some in the political world, who re-
ho% c
opinion that, brought face to face with
what such strike would mean to the
country, the brotherhoods would have
halted, and sought other means of carry
ing their point.
Where one man was of that opinion
then, half dozen may be found now
of opinion that paralysis of the trans
portation of the country by strike is
utterly OUT of the question Reflection,
they are convinced, has sobered the men
who held up Congress, and has stiffened
the backbone of the general public
Such a step would rob the brotherhoods
of all sympathy; and without public
sympathy no move in labor's behalf has
ever succeeded, or could succeed.
And this is the day when the public
must be considered. The railroads are
entitled to dividends on their invest
ments, and their employees of all kinds,
organized or unorganized, to good wages
and good hours and surroundings But
all that may be secured by conferences
and adjustments, leaving the public un-
harmed, and business unhampered even
for the briefest period. In other words,
the public has more at stake than the
railroads and the brotherhoods COM
bined; and in this country the public's
welfare comes, or should come, first
of all.

On the Somme.

When the British and French began
their joint drive against the Germans
in Picardy on the 1st of July last and
pressed through the enemy lines to pre-
viously unattained distances, it was
thought by many that the time had
come at last for an actual penetration
OF the Teutonic positions. At one time,
indeed, i'll the course of the Somme
hghting, the British cavalry actually
reached the open country behind the
German intrenchments, but this appar-
emily was merely skirmishing party
and its advance was not followed in
force. As fast as the Germans were
driven from one set of trenches they
fell back TO another, at all times hold
ing their lines virtually unbroken. But
it was stated that British and French
aviators had observed that the trench
lines behind those finally forming the
German defense after the fighting had
continued for about two months were
by no means so substantial as those in
front and that new works were of a
temporary, easily reduced character. It
was then thought that if the dHive were
resumed with the same intensity as in
early July it might carry the allied
armies through the lines into open coun-
try, with consequent rolling up of the
German fanks, which would compel a
general retirement in Champagne, Picar
dy and Flanders.
But the allied offensive tagged after
some weeks. Save for occasional dashes

"Reorganizing" the Party.

A good deal of the talk now current
about "reorganizing" the republican
party will elbow away" 1t lacks both
conference and persuasiveness. Some
men are talking through their hats"
Some seem to be talking with the object
of inducing others to talk, and with an
idea that something of value should is
sue from a talkfest.
That the party was not united in the
last campaign is clear enough. That it
should manage to effect reunion before
the congressional campaign of 1918 if
it is by a victory then to pave the way
for a victory in 1920 is equally clear.
And that strong men in both factions
of the party will strive for reunion is
to be assumed from their experience in
politics and everyday knowledge of af-
fairs.
The recent campaign produced puz-
zles that are puzzling.
Take Ohio. A state normally repub-
1ican, with illustrious republican tradi-
tions running back fifty years, turned
up in the democratic column last month.
But whatever was working in the state
worked all one way. The democrats Sc
cured not only the electoral votes, but
the local Offices Their candidate for
governor and their candidate for United
States senator triumphed along with Mr..
Wilson. They swept everything into
their sack.
But in Kansas, in Washington and in
California, while the democrats secured
the electoral votes, the republicans car
ried the states for all other tickets. In
Kansas Gov. Capper for reelection re-
ceived hundred thousand majority and
Mr.. Wilson about forty thousand. In
Washington Mr.. Poinde1ter, republi
can, received about eighty thousand ma
jority for senator and Mr.. Wilson about
sixteen thousand. In California, which
tipped the scale in Mr.. Wilson's favor
and elected him, Gov. johnson, repub
ican- bull mooser, had majority for
ocudlUl VI d Qudl tSl VI d
Evidently, therefore, the trouble in
Ohio was not the trouble in Kansas,
Washington or California. There was
trouble enough in all four states so far
as the republican national ticket was
concerned. But while in the first named
the republicans lost everything, in the
other three they won the local prizes by
majorities exceeding in size all previous
performances.
The republican task, while compli-
Gated, is far from being desperate. The
party is fuh Of vitality, and its leaders
are seasoned men. They have just made
a wonderful fight; and, while they lost,
it was by margin so narrow there is
every reason why, with conciliation and
good feeling and good management, they
should hope for better luck next time.
The faction working to "reorganize" the
other faction out of the party is not
working in the party's behalf.

the battle of the somme was suspended.

the battle of the Somme was suspended.
It had gained considerable territory,
but nothing Of great military value; had
netted the allies large number of Ger
man prisoners and had probably in the
final reckoning weakened the German
forces much more seriously than the
allies. In point of reduction Of man
power, the battle of the Somme has
been rated as an allied success, though
the German emperor has officially pro-
claimed it a victory for his side. 1t is
now stated from Berlin that during the
weeks elapsing since the fury of the
allied attack on the Somme spent itself
the Germans have been constructing new
defenses behind their present positions,
making their line in Picardy stronger,
in fact, than it was before the grand
assault. This is, Of course, in anticipa
ton of the expected spring advance of
the allies. If this is true and the con-
structions are as strong as reported, the
task of Gen. Nivelle in the spring will
be as great as that of Gen. Joffre last
summer, if not greater. Just why the
offensive was suspended in the late sum
mer when so much ground had been
gained and the German line had been
seriously weakened by casualties and
captures has not been explained. 1t is
assumed, however, that the allies had
either exhausted their striking force or
were running short of munitions. Yet
the French had sufficient strength left
to make their remarkable dash at Yer
dun, which regained most of the terri
tory lost north of that city in the Ger
man offensive of nearly year ago.
