Farm Loans and Farm Costs
eFrom The Milwaukee Journal

DFropl The Mihcantcc Journal
No single remedy for the high cost of liv-
ing, offered or likely to be offered, has more
potentiality than the new farm loan banks.
which. within the next three weeks, will be
in operation throughout the country. Now
comes the astounding news that farmers are
likely to get money for as low a rate as ;
per cent Mt the very inauguration OF these
banks
The new farm bonds will be equivalent TO
government bonds, and since the government
has been able TO borrow at per cent, the
farmers will inevitably benefit New York
bankers are Offering TO take large blocks OF
this premier farm security at rate OF 4I1
per cent. which is likely to be still further
reduced when the new banking system gets
into full running order
With s50,0OO,OO0 of farm loans granted at
low interest rate within a few weeks. the
beginning Of a vast farm credit system, in
volving hundreds OF millions in loans, will
have been made.

And we sorely need the crises OF lie ana
death and sacrifice and devotion to oestr
cur best affection. A family can be too
prosperous and contented as well as ma
ton. We all know such families-though'
Of course we feel sure of behaving quite
differently if we shared their lot
So we can truly thank our stars for tne
grave days that face our nation. The
chance to take the flag out OF the garnet
and buy a pole for it and find 1t altogether
splendid against the sky is as precious as
it is long delayed. We may display our
patriotism a little awkwardly at first. But
sacred devotion that one rather fancles
when it is wrapped up in ones private soul
cannot be worth much if it is too fragile to
stand the gusts of the street. 1t should be
the best part of our unfolding patriotism
that through it we come to know our kin
ship with a great tradition and see Its
flag flying high above years to destroy or
any insult to mar.

Families in Congress
Case of the Dodges More Unusual
Than That of the Bankheads
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. There is an unusual coincidence IN
the membership Of the 65th Congress IN
Senator John II. Bankhead, of Alabama, rep
resenting his state in the Senate, and MS
son. William B. Bankhead, representing the
Tenth District Of Alabama in the House OF
Representatives. In connection with TINS
unusual incident the statement has oeeh
made that father and son Will SIT In Con
gress together for the first time IN the ms
tory of the United States" This IS not the
first occasion that a father and son nave
happened to be simultaneously members OF
Congress. There is the case OF the Dodges'
father and son. Henry Dodge, OF Dodge
Vile, Wis. first represented the Territory OF
Wisconsin in the House of Representatives,
and later the newly admitted State OF Wis
consin in the Senate, and his son, Augustus
Cesar Dodge of Burlington, Iowa, repre-
scented the Territory of Iowa in the House OF
Representatives, and later the newly adj
mitted State of Iowa in the Senate James
| G. Blaine in his Twenty Years OF Con-
gress." Volume /, page 80, speaks of this
unusual coincidence of the Senate member
shin as follows: Dodge of Wisconsin and
Dodge of Iowa, father and son, represented
the Democracy Of the remotest outposts IN
the Northwest"
An investigation in the matter oil the
Congressional service of the two Dodges'
father and son. reveals the following facts:
Augustus c. Dodge, the son, first entered
Congress as a delegate from the Territory
of Iowa. serving as such for four Congresses,
the Goth. eth. 18th and Doth, comprehend
ing the years of 1S39-47. In the meantime,
the father, Henry Dodge, was elected dele
gate from the Territory of Wisconsin to
Congress and served as such during the
9th and 28th Congresses, compromising
the years 1s41-45 Upon the admission of
these territories as states both the Dodges
were elected United States Senators, and
father and son served simultaneously in the
Senate during the both, Dist, 32d and 33d
Congresses, comprehending the years 1S4I-
/ So The service of Augustus C. Dodge the
son. terminated in the Senate in 1855, Janu-
airy S, when he resigned and was succeeded
by James Harlan, a Republican, the slavery
agitation having changed the political COM
plexion of the state The service Of the
father Henry Dodge, continued until March
4. 1857, when he was succeeded by James X.
Dooittle. who also was Republican, the
political complexion of Wisconsin likewise
having changed ANTHONY p. FINDER.

Downtrodden Father

There is new field for the humantari-
ans opened in the abuses and cruelties in
ficted by society upon the modern-day
father, as tabulated recently by pro
fessor of sociology in the University OF
Wisconsin.
Since the beginning Of time, this sci
enlist maintains, there has been no allow
ance made for Father in the architectural
designs of life. 1t is true that he has
functioned there, III a financial and occa-
sionally in a political way. But in society
he has been so long in disuse that he has
disappeared entirely, like the banana seed.
He has a business existence, but no longer
q personal one.
There are a thousand uplift societies for
Mother to one for Father, the professor
points out. We wear white flowers for
Mother upon a day nationally named as
her own. and we hold the amount Of
shortening she used to put in her pies
among our fondest memories. We do not
name days or organizations for Father.
We have no real faith in his interest IN
the betterment of the race.
Father has no present chance of appre-
citation from any one, the sociologist adds.
1t might be otherwise if business offices
could be right in the home, where Mother
would have the opportunity to observe Fa-
theirs nerves cracking under their fear
full strain, while she went about her dust
ing. But his lair is remote from her realm.
She and her children have no comprehen-
sion of the labor attendant upon making
money; so they show neither moderation
nor gratitude in their demands.
There is no such a thing as safety
valve for fathers, either, the scientist OBJ
serves. When the tension of business be-
gins to tell upon his tired nerves, he can
not even shed few relaxing tears-it
is not done in the best business circles.
He must just go on and on in the eternal
treadmill.
1t is a gloomy outlook, not much re-
lieved by the sociological suggestion that
there should be a Federal inquiry into the
matter. The mills of justice grind slowly,
and Father will never have time to wait.

The New Imperial Commonwealth

In an outline of the new imperial common
wealth, to which Lord Miner has given his
approval. the functions of the imperial Par
lament are suggested:
"The first Of these is the support ana main
tenance Of the navy and naval establishments
and fortGcations throughout the empire. The
second is the control of the expedtlonary
army and the maintenance of skeleton mill
tary establishment for the empire by which
the national service militias that must GER
tainly follow this war could be gunned, mob
ilized and directed in an imperial Crisis. The
third is the imperial control of the food sup
ply and of the imperial resources of raw
material The fourth is imperial transit,
posts, money, standards ports and seaways.
The fifth is the common imperial trade pol
icy The sixth is the supreme direction Of
education, not with any power of prohibition,
but with unlimited powers Of endowment, to
maintain the common language and the sup
ply OF higher education universally through
out the empire The seventh is the main
tenace of the Supreme Court of the empire.
The eighth is the control of foreign policy
and the continuation of the imperial trustee
ship over the non-represented dependencies. "
The result of this will be the most popu-
lous, largest, most powerful state in the
world, and that state will not be an autocracy.
1t will be a commonwealth--an agreement of
equals. It will act from one will with one
purpose The operations of that will inside
so vast an organism will seem almost like a
process Of nature Its influence will be de-
cisive on the immediate future of the human
race Under the perfected internal or
ganization, which is the very purpose of the
union, the food supply of a quarter of man
kind will be guaranteed. The land question
will be solved. The balance of agriculture to
industry will be determined and established.
The problems of labor will be dealt with in a
freedom of opportunity and an increase of
productive power which would have seemed
utopian to an earlier generation. That i'm
perial Parliament will be League of Peace
which will give the first stable basis for a
world peace

American Heroes in France.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With all the agitation which is going
on to make the timorous peace at any
prcer' 70 open the eyes of the somnolent
undergraduates advocate to even defend
ing his own home from within and from with
out. wish to point out how little has been
said of a band Of Americans who are indeed
real Americans and undiluted. ! mean the
thrty-hve thousand men or so who have
Joined the Canadian and British troops and
are fighting in France for the Allied cause.
Also the eighty-odd aviators, some with the
French. others with the British forces.
They are men we should and do call heroes /;
they are lighting for an IDEAL they are fight
ing for the liberty of the world against that
crushing miltarism for greed which brought
on the world horror
A nation can call itself neutral. an indi-
vidual never as he has soul and aNmind
which judges right from wrong. His scales
Of Justice are bound to dip on the side of lib
erty and humanity. Those thirty-ive thou
sand men have answered the call. not for rec
IGNITION, remuneration. nor for glory
Indeed there are men we do call heroes,
silent ones. who go out unheralded. And I
should like TO ask this question: Which stand
the higher morally. this band of men or the
band of twelve Senator'S in Washington who
refused their vote 10 protect the American
stoker and seaman working for his livelihood
on the ocean? ] leave II to the fair-minded
to give their answer.
