citation Which Loaned $5,00O,0 600
to Wisconsin Farmers in
Five Years.

Henry A. Moehlenpah of Clinton,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
has been one of the State leaders in
farm advancement for years.
He early saw that the states future
prosperity depended upon the develop
ment of the farm. This theme has
been a companion Of his for quarter
century.
In those days, the minds of men in
our state ran largely to the fortunes
in the forests. 1t remained for men of
the foresight of Mr.. Moehlenpah, to
see into the states great future. This
man, pioneer in spirit, saw the endur-
ing wealth Of Wisconsin in mother
earth. Men of his type were scarce
then, and, few of the 'old school, re-
main today. Few of them so directed
their business career, that they could
be Of practical usefulness, as time
passed AS Mr.. Moehlenpah developed
and became successful as a business
man and country banker, he also, pro-
crossed in farm land development,
dairying and rural finance.
The trend of public finance during
those years seemed to flow in the
same direction with Mr.. Moehlenpah's
progress. The nations financial ma
chirery appeared to lag behind mod
EN- requirements. "Panics" and cur
rency stringencies" were periodical.
Financial oxygen" was necessary to
stimulate crop movements.
Mr. Moehlenpah was one Of the first
ID see the financial soundness Of the
proposal that led up to the federal
farm loan act.
Fifty thousand farmers of the cOun-
try were served who obtained $780,
900 100000 in these loans the first year.
Thousands of farmers in the Northern
timberland sections are also borrow
erS.
He kept his mind and effort on this
idea. He nourished it in its infancy,
making many trips to Washington, in
the interest of its enactment and
finally, he saw working law that has
proven to be of the greatest benefit to
the farmer, not alone in Wisconsin
Hand in hand with the development
of this policy, he was one of the early
pioneers in advocating the establish
ment of the Federal Reserve banking
act, a law, which has proven to be one
of the greatest benefits to the nation
financial system.

PREPARATIONS

A small army of mechanics and
laborers are at work preparing the
'mamouth structures for the 1918 Inter
national Live Stock Exposition. This
essential preliminary task is being con
Quoted on more elaborate scale than
heretofore, the management being
determined to insure the comfort Of
visitors, exhibitors and their charges.
The SPACIOUS buildings and grounds are
being artistically decorated, emblems
of the allied nations now battling on
European soil draping both interior
and exterior.
Since the Inauguration of the EX-
position, it has been the policy Of the
management to spare no expense to
insure perfection in every detail
Owing to increased cost of material
and labor, the details might have
been neglected this year, but the di-
rectors decided that itwould be doubt
full economy and the high standard of
previous years will be maintained if
not excelled.
When the gates of the exposition
are opened on Nov. 30th for the great
live stock roundup of the season, the
public will realize that regardless Of
obstacles and abnormal conditions
nothing essential to the success of the
exposition has been overlooked.

One Report Says Foreign Minister
L. Already Out.

PARIS. Nov. 27.-Dr. w. s. Solf, the
German Foreign Minister, may resign
very soon. This is indicated by de-
velopments during debates at the con-
ference OF the German states now
being held In Berlin. according to
Berne advices TO the Petit Pdristen.
DR.. Solf. indeed. already has re-
signed. according to a despatch to
INFORMATION from Zurich, which
takes this report as seeming to in
dictate that his success in the congress
was not so complete as the semi-official
advices from Berlin made out. This
account. in fact. the Zurich message
states. is received specifically there.
1t Is reported that there were
violent demonstrations on Monday
evening in Berlin against the con-
ference and especially against Or. Solf
and Matthias Erzberger.

to serve the moral Improvement Of the
nations and of mankind
The Archbishop calls attention TO
the fact that on September 20, 1915, he
cent a letter to Prof. Deissmann point
ing out these essential matters, but
received no reply. except a verbal ac-
acknowledgement. and continues:
I'VE have fought without hatred
and, so far as possible, without pas
sion. and now that victory crowns the
cause for which we fought we desire to
I've equally free from hatred and pas
sion In the course we follow as victors.
But we cannot forget the terrible
crime wrought against humanity and
civilization when this stupendous war
with It's irreparable agony and cruelty
was let loose in Europe. Nor can we
possibly ignore the savagery which the
German High Command displayed in
carrying on the war.
"Outrages in Belgium in the early
months, and, indeed, ever since; the
character OF the devastation wrought
In France. including the inhuman de-
portation OF innocent civilians; the
submarine warfare against passenger
ships like the Lusita! Ia, and the re-
joicing which ensued in Germany;
the unspeakable cruelties exercised on
defenceless prisoners down to the very
end. including even for the last few
weeks-all these thirgs compel the
authorities of the allied Powers to
take security against n repetition Of
such a crime.
THE position would be different had
there been on the part OF Christian
circles IN Germany any public protest
against these gross wrongs or any
reputation OF their perpetrators.
The peace we hope to achieve must
be a peace not of hate or revenge. the
fruits of which might be further and
even more terrible strife. We wish
by every means to avert that posi-
bility. But righteousness must be vim
dicated. even though vindication in
wolves sternness.
THERE'S. however, as I reed hardly
say. no wish on the part Of the allied
nations to crush or destroy the peo-
Piles of Germany. Evidence to the
contrary Is amply abundant"

executive committee Of the Berlin
Soviet. Pending the assembly OF a ma
uonal conference the Soviet claims

proposes to postpone indefinitely
the election OF national constitutional
assembly.
stiu Cling to Old Notions.
1t IL necessary to remember that
Herr Ebert and his colleagues are Ger
mans. and there is no reason to sup
pose they have abandoned the charac-
teristic German doctrine In regard to
the efficacy Of fear. The Allies, no
longer fearing the submarine and other
manifestations Of frightfulness, may
still be expected to fear Bolshevism in
Germany.
1t is also clearly to the advantage Of
the Ebert Government to take the
wind out OF the sails of the genuinely
Boishevtk Spartacus group, which Is
capable OF causing unpleasant disturb
ances. and against which It is incon-
venient to employ force.
These considerations account largely
for the contrast between the expressed
views Of the Berlin Soviet and those
OF all other Soviets; also for the sud
den difference in policy between the
leaders of the majority and the mi
nority parties on the one hand and
the leaders OF the Berlin Soviet on the
other.
Opposition Does Not Worry Them.
They also account for the fact that
Ebert, Haase and Scheidmapn do not
appear to be greatly concerned about
opposition. 1t is not that the sug-
gested conflict Is entirely unreal. From
Socialist point OF view there is OBJ
viously q strong cause for a temper
airy proletariat dictatorship, such as
the Berlin Soviet leaders demand, for
the purpose of passing certain irrev-
ocable Socialist measures before the
inevitably mild Socialist national as
sembly comes into existence.
No doubt this policy has much gen.
uine support in the rank and file of
Berlin Socialists quite apart from
Lebknecht's Spartaeus group. But
peace and bread will be the decisive
factors. The correspondent concludes:
1t Is scarcely an exaggeration to
say there is no Bolshevism in Ger
many"
Opinion in Germany is in favor of
summoning a constituent assembly
and to act against the violent COM
munistic minority in Berlin. which is
gaining ground all over the country.
The Kiel Soviets are strongly sup
porting the election Of constituent
assembly quickly and Bremen and
Hamburg Soviets likewise.
