A Useful Farce

With the exception of Theodore
Roosevelt, there is no more persistent
and resourceful self-advertiser in the
United States that Thomas w. Law
son.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Lawson
jumped simultaneously into the lime
light as soon as Representative Wood
introduced his resolution for an in
vestigation of the alleged Wall Street
''leak" in connection with the Presi-
dents note to the beligerents. While
Mr.. Lawson was smearing mud over
n majority fthe members Of congress,
Mr.. Roosevelt was smearing mud over
the Wilson administration. Mr.. Law
son boasted abouthis own profits from
the "leak" and Mr.. Roosevelt wept
bitterly over the plight of the stock
gamblers whom he transformed into
''small investors" In fact, the net eff
feet" of the Presidents note, in Mr.
Roosevelt's opinion. was to ruin an
immense number of small investors
who were not forewarned."
For two days Mr.. Lawson has been
edifying the Rules Committee of the
House with a vaudeville performance
in which he has exploited his complete
ignorance of the So called scandal in
all It's phases. Mr.. Roosevelt has main
tained a discrete silence since the
Lawson performance began, but per-
haps he is so checked with emotion
over the wrongs Of the ''small invest
orr that he can no longer talk.
In any event, no more ridiculous ex
uibition than this investigation has
ever been staged within the halls of
congress. The representative who in
trcduced the resolution has publicly
admitted that he had no Conformation.
He drew his inspiration from H letter
written by man of whom he had
never heard and who apparently has
no tangible existence. On the strength
OF this communication he proposed an
inquiry that amounted to no more
than casual fishing expedition. All
the gossip of wall Street and WASH
ington has now been turned into a
single sewer for and not
a single definite fact of Importance
has thus far been brought to light

The Break With Germany

The sensation Of the week was the
news which came in last Sunday
night, announcing that President
Wilson had handed German Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff his passports,
and had ordered the American Am
bassadOr home from Berlin.
The breaking of Of d diplomatic rela-
tions was President Wilson's answer
to Germany's recent declaration that
neutral merchant shipping would re-
ceive the same treatment as enemy
shipping it the European war zones.
The dispatches OF the week show
that Congress and the Nation Is a
unit back of the President in the
stand he has taken.
While the severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany may not lead
to war, the country is being put on a
war basis rs fast as possible.

There IL no death! That quotation
contains Il world of comfort. 1t is the
hope of loved ones when we leave
them behind as we pass to that great
beyond from whose bOurn no traveller
returns" The comfort it must give to
think that after the trials and tribula-
tions of this earth we will join those
loved ones who have gone before, is
surely balm to the loving wife and
mother, when she sees her life partner
lying cold in what is commonly called
death, when it is but a transitory state
to greater life beyond. Death and He'll
are two bones of contention of about
equal proportions and there are still
many who claim and believe that
there is literal hell of fire and brim-
stone and use their supportive argu-
ments upon those who will listen. But
there happily are others who being
just rs learned, present arguments
that disprove the theory of hell of
fire and birthstone. We are inclined
to believe the latter, it being pleas
anter idea and more reasonable.

How to Organize a Farm Loan
Association

The following extracts from COM
munication recently received from
the Federal Farm Loan Board will
be found of interest to parties desir-
ing information:
LAS soon as you can get together ten
or more farmers or prospective farm
ers who wish to borrow on first farm
mortgages, hold a meeting and adopt
articles of association. filling in at
the top the name of your association
and outlining the boundaries of the
district. Then have each borrower
sign and acknowledge the articles of
association before a notary public.
Your association should elect its
directors at the first meeting. Flee
tion should be by ballot, each MEM
ber having one vote for each $5 share
of stock held. Five or more directors
may be chosen by law. Many associa-
tions are electing nine directors, for
the reason that with board Of nine,
there is no danger of a tie vote and it
is easier to compute the two-thirds
vote required to admit new members.
""As soon as your directors are elect
ed, have them meet and elect a pres
ident, a vice-president, secretary
treasurer and q loan committee Of
three members.
"Your loan committee should pro-
ceed at once to oprepare a written re-
port fixing the valuation Of the land
to be moftgaged by ali members OF
the association. This report must be
unanimous.
This is as far rs you can go until
the Federal Loan Bank of your dis
trict is located and established.

ton may be obtained by application
