THE :MFMv CosPUI.sulpY ,BIIA
Will Probably be signed :Soon--It
Provides County Option.

Columbia, March 21:-Governor
Cooper is expected to sign the new
compulsory school attendance act,
making the employment of attend
ance officers q matter OF county Op-
ton, at .an early date. He has not
indicated what he will do, but he has
expressed the opinion that the new
act Is better than the law now in ef-
feet, and it is presumed. he will sign
the act. passed by the recent General
Assembly.
While the new compulsory attend
ance act does make the employment
of the '"truant officers" a matter Of
county ,option, putting the duties Of
the Office on the County Snperintend-
ent and the school trustees, the new
act strengthens the compulsory at
tendance law, Governor Cooper has
said
The real reason why the attend
ance officer is abolished. said Cover
nor CDpoer to-day, in speaking of
the act, is the fact that the recent
Legislature did not appropriate the
money FOR his salary inteach county
Future legislation can provide for
the OIL e by approprjattng funds. AT
! the same time, said the Governor,
each of tbe. counties rar employ It's
own attendance officer, or several
districts may cooperate in employ
ing such an officer.
In explaining why he thinks the
new act better than the Old, the Gov,
crnor mentioned several provisions
OF the new act, which has not yet re-
ceiVed his signature.
The new act allows any school dis
electors, 10 require the attendance
, Of children for the entire school
term, instead of merely for four
months.
The new act provides PENALTIES

fails to make his child attend school

Bone Dry and Leak Iiaht.

While advocates of light wines and beer" are
slipping up alongside the Volstcad act, hoping
to get aboard, the skipper, with his weather eye
cast to port and starboard alike, announces that
he will not only keep the decks clear, but will
ba.ten down the hatches. SO that even leaks will
be prevented. II any amendments are made to
the Volstead law its author announces, they will
be to do away with the provisions that permitted
Attorney General Palmer to issue his opinion
with regard to the use OF beer and wine as nedi-
cine. Over u New York William H. Anderson
announces that he expects to have Manhattan
reduced to something like Sahara within two
years, and as dry as a powderhorn within twenty.
His present campaign there is making the island
ers shy, at least. Boston is coming we'll within

Bay hotels, including the Copley House, giving
the old timers real thrill. New Jerseys new
law against "home brew" is said to be as potent
in suppressing the stuff as the product Of the
amateur distilleries was in engendering head
aches and disturbances. So the story runs
throughout the land and it begins to look as If
the camel were pretty we'll master OF The situa-
ton at last and that prohibition is gaining. How
ever, it will very likely be as long Mr.. Ander-
son thinks before the policy is all prevailing.

Farmers Forming a Federation.

One of the things the farmers have learned
in the course Of their efforts to improve their
own conditions is that their interests are not so
nearly identical as to permit the formation Of
single big union. 1t is not necessary to enter
into detailed consideration of this at the present,
beyond the statement that the variations are OF
fundamental nature, and therefore musr have
weight in all the calculations OF the organizers.
On the other hand, the main factor is one in
common. 1t is the question OF better marketing
facilities and more economic methods OF financing
farm operations and crop production, to the end
that the farmer as such will secure more ade-
quate return from his produce. One OF the lead
ers, who are now consulting for the purpose of
finding out how far they may 60 towards form
ing the one central group proposes the American
Federation Of Labor as model That organ
ization has accommodated the widely diversified
interests of the craft organizations of the coun-
try, even finding the means for accommodating
and composing disputes" between them that
threatened to disrupt and destroy the contenders.
While doing this it has served we'll the general
cause by taking care OF those matters that are
common to all labor organizations, at the same
time resolutey declining to interfere with the
tiooC dutoAoHy oA oHyS VI ~ iltSlVSAC III tHC
management or control OF affairs that are pecu-
liar to single trades unions. Only when the con-
Germ of all is at stake does the great fedora
ton exert itself.
Such form is feasible for the several farmer
groups, and they may easily find in it the means
OF great service to themselves They will prob
ably not find leader such as Samuel Gompers,
but they may develop one just as he has grown
and broadened as the movement OF which he is
the head has prospered since it was formed by
him and few devoted trades union men back
in 1881, when the Knights Of Labor threatened
destruction Of all craft unions. The farmers are
on the right track at last.

Loans to Save Cattle Industry.

Reports from other parts of the state fortify
the statement recently made in the Letter Box
by F. M. Currie OF Broken Bow that the ranges
of Nebraska are not filled with the usual droves
of cattle. The railroad rates on stock from
southern ranches to the nothern cattle country
were cut, but in many instances the cattlemen
have been unable to obtain credit with which to
make their purchases. Although Mr.. Currie
agrees with those who are urging that the gov
ernment could alleviate the situation by turning
over the $l0O000,00O profits Of the Federal Re-
serve banking system to the Federal Land banks,
he does not believe in the advisability OF attempt
ing to make cattle loans through this govern
mental agency
His suggestion that this sum be applied in
making more loans on land is in line with the
judgment OF many who are deeply interested
in the success OF the tarn: loan bank and who
realize that 1t has no machinery with which to
arrange cattle loans. The $40,000,000 bond issue
which is now being sold to provide funds for
the land banks is perhaps all the market could
absorb at this time, but it is small indeed when
measured by the needs of agriculture. If the
$l0O,000,000 which has been turned over to the
treasury by the Federal reserve system could
be added to this sum and distributed through the
west in the form OF loans on land, it would find
its way into every channel Of business Farmers
who received these loans would be enabled to
buy cattle pay their debts and add to the de-
posts Of the country banks, thus providing funds
which might be lent to others for the direct pur-
pose OF grazing or feeding cattle.
Cattle loans differ in many respects from
those made on land The security is more haz-
ardous and the business of lending money on
herds is one that is best handled where intimate
information as to the standing and capacity OF
the borrower is known. If the money could be
sent into the agricultural communities on land
mortgages it would find its way naturally into
the ranges.
Mr.. Currie admits doubt as to its being kind
ness to lend money to an industry that is not on
a proft-makng basis. If it seemed probable. that
American agriculture were to continue so largely
a losing business, further financial advances
would be inadvisablc. But people will continue
to cat and the farmers TO grow food, but more
than that attention is being directed not only
to questions Of production, but of marketing as
we'll. When the readjustment Of industry is ac-
eomplished, it seems inevitable that profit viii
come back to agriculture. 1t is now problem
OF holding on, and no one who has seen and un-
derstood the result OF disastrous prices for farm
products, how they have slowed up business~in
every city in the land, will be SO foolhardy as
to expect the nation to prosper without the
farmers prospering first of all.

Weakness Of Calling Names.

II would be easy to make mistake in judk-
ing the purpose OF little magazine published
in the cast which is right now laying about in
all directions almost frantic. In one issue it
attacks the Young Womers Christian Associa-
ton, the Federal Council OF Churches, a eonven-
ton of Jewish rabbis. the universities OF the
land, the farmer cooperative movement, the Ia
Dor unions, the retailers, church publication
and several ministers who are named.
This is taking in quite lot OF territory, and
at first glance one might make the mistake OF
thinking that the publication was radical fire.
brand But ii is not its cover states that il is
"a semi-monthly Interpretation OF industrial prog
rcss" In hitting out in so many directions it IS
laboring under the delusion that it is furthering
the purpose OF business and prosperity. From
such defenders sensible men must pray to be de-
livered. America has no place today for those
who break into free discussion with hate OF all
