HALTING EUROPEAN CREDITS.

The United States Treasury APP
parently acquired the habit of lend
ing money to European nations dur
ing the war, and the Europeans evil
IDENTIFY have grown to believe there
is a never-failing supply of Ameri-
can cash to be had for the asking.
The Senate has told the Secretary of
the Treasury that it disapproves of
his purpose to add additional bill
lions to the nine billion that has al
ready been supplied to Europe. The
same inquisitive Senate has been
asking embarrassing questions that
have brought out the fact that the
Europeans are not paying either
interest or principal on their loans;
and at lest one Government has
suggested to the United States that
all the indebtedness be cancelled
lin other words, donated to them.
The facts brought out also dis
closes that the Kerensky regime in
Russia was loaned $646,00O, 900.

Those who accuse the United

still willing to admit that we con-

IMPEACHING LANDS.

A lot of good copy has been fur
nished the newspapers by reason of
the impeachment proceedings initial
ed in Congress against Federal
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, of
Chicago. Lands first came into
prominence by his $29,O00,O0O fine
against the Standard Oil many years
in the limelight. 1t was his sen.
tence of Victor Berger, the Mil
waukee Socialist and rejected Con-
gresham, that was set aside by
the Supreme Court one month ago.
Some people believe that Lands is
erratic-anyway he seems the storm
center of sensational happenings
such as other Judges avoid.
His present principal offence is
apparently based upon superficial
affairs, and there is not much likeli-
hood that the impeachment proceed
ings will ever get very far in Wash
ington.

TO BE A GENTLEMAN.
By HI. Arlington Bruce

One does not have to wear fine
clothing, boast a fat bank account,
ride around in limousines, or haunt
the resorts of high society to be a
gentleman. /, Wealth, social presitage
and notable, ancestry do not of
themselves make gentlemen, popu-
lar belief to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The doorman of fashionable club
may actually be more of gentle
man than many club member who
is scarcely aware of the doorman's
existence. Possessing certain moral
qualities, the poorest and most OBJ
scure are gentlemen in the truest
sense. All but the essentially snob-
bish, if they give any real thought
to the matter, will agree that:
''Whoever is open, loyal, true; of
brave and affable demeanor; honor
able himself and in his judgment of
others; faithful to his word as to law,
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-02-24

and faithful alike to God and man
such man is a true gentleman"
And, in the future detail offered
by Thackeray:
perhaps gentlman is rarer
thing than some us think fer. Which
of us can point out many such in his
circle; men whose aims are generous,
whose wants Of meanness makes
them simple, who can look the world
honestly in the face with an equal

is easy to guess that some very

PARTY POSTMASTERS.

Republican politicians in Congress
are looking for ways and means"
to pry loose the hold of Democratic
postmasters throughout the country.
The talk one hears in the Capitol is
to the effect that the Democrats
have worked the INERT" system to
such an extent that they have per-
perputated members of their political
faith in charge of the postoffice ma
chinery of the country. But there
is big forde in the new administra-
ton that desires to distribute plums
among the faithful. In consequence
postmasters hips may not be re-
garded as wholly "sure-thing."

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By ]. E. Jones'
THE WOMEN WHO WON SUI
FRAGE.


FRAGE.
In the early days of the Woodrow
Wilson administration, visiting de-
legations of women demanding the
right to vote, were given scant con-
sideration at the White House. Even
Mr.. Bryan, then in high favor as
premier Cabinet officers, expressed
little interest, and on one occasion
said that "the country is not ready
to take up this ISSUE" The persist
ent women who finally "got in" to
see President Wilson were told that
''their issuse was matter for the
States" Finally the national or
ganization split in two factions, and
among the group of conservatives"
who continued to remain patient with
the dilatory politicians in admins
trative circles and in Congress, were
the followers of Anna Howard Shaw
and her successor, Mrs. Gait. The
militant" group organized indepen-
IDENTIFY, and under the leadership OF
Miss Alice Paul, took up the chal-
lenge of President Wilson to concert
public opinion" by picketing the
White House one hour later. These
women were dragged through the
streets of Washington, thrown into
prison, went on hunger strikes, and
were called all the vile names in the
lexicon of unkind words for Haunting
their banners in the Capitol and other
public places. But through it all
they remained-fairly sweet.
But when the day of success and
triumph came, the "militants" were
recognized as the head of the suf-
frage movement, and little has been
heard of the conservatives" Alice
Paul-who year or two ago was
called "a little slip of woman" "an
agitator," and things lots worse, was
recognized by the powers that ap-
pointed the Inaugural Committees
and similar important bodies. She
seems, very suddenly, to have be-
come, like "the stone which the build
ers refused, the headstone of the
corner"
The other day suffrage memorial
to the three pioneers of the women's
movement in the United States
Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott,
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was I'M
yelled in the rotunda of the Capitol
of the United States. 1t was one
of the most impressive ceremonies in
the history of the entire women's
movement, and it marked what is
perhaps the final acceptance of the
success of women's suffrage by the
highest officials of the Nation. Alice
Paul and her followers, now swelled,
in numbers by reason of their sue
cessess. were the undisputed heads of
suffrage representation in that great
ceremony
Washington, which hooted the
"militants" now goes to tea and
dinner at their headquarters, and ad-
mits that the meals are "fne." Suf-
fragits who held aloof in the old
das, have concluded that Miss Paul's
group should be cultivated" and
they seek to be included in the affairs
of the National Women's Party.
On the other hand the magnificent
headquarters of the conservation"
presided over by Mrs. Gait and her
friends, has been closed, and the wo-
men have left the Capitol. Even
the men in Congress who made long
winded speeches about these women
Hurting suffrage" are now saying !:
you've got to hand it to them, they
won."

The Federal Reserve Board IN a
statement just issued says that "bet-
ter conditions in business have been
manifesting themselves during the
past month. They have been most
obvious in the field of banking and
finance. They have, however, also
been of decided significance in in
dustrial lines" The statement OBJ
serves that while the process of re-

has proceeded far enough in a num-
Der of branches of business to pre-

SEEKING TO EXTEND RURAL
CREDIT.

Congress has given a lot of atten-
ton to means of extending credits to
farmers, and one of the methods that
it will be sought to pass next session
is embodied in similar bills introduced
by Representative McFadden in the
House and Senator Kenyon in the
Senate. These bills provide for the
creation of two corporations by special
Federal charters, namely, rural Gre
dit society and a general insurance
league.
The credit society would consist of
one central bank with $25,00Q,000
capital to be furnished by the Govern
ment without interest, and to be re-
turned from the sinking fund created
by the bill. There would be forty
eight branches, one for each State,
with $4,000 capital each, to be fur
nished by the insurance company ac-
cepting such Federal League charter.
This stock would pay per cent cum
lative dividend and become guaranty
against the loss of the capital furnish
ed by the Government.
Farmers may organize any number
of community associations, or "com7
munes," with not less than seven
members each. The commune"
stock will be in shares of SIS each
and owned by farmer members only.
The members interests will be re-
presented by this commune" stock
instead of deposits and thus avoid the
expensive machinery Of deposit bank
ing and broaden the market for pro-
ductive farm credit paper.
Provision is made for commission
ers to negotiate with one of the
six largest life insurance companies
to induce one of them to accept the
Federal charter and invest $7,200,00o
in the credit society and elect its
auditor and deputy auditors.

HOME BURNS AS

q. A. Carmichael Residence On
Fcldcg Street Completely De-
stroyed Sunday

While all the members of the fam
lily of d. A. Carmichael were attend
ing. church Sunday morning their
home just at the City limits on East
Fielder street, caught fire in some
unknown manner and was complete
" destroyed, contents and building.
The house was seven-room cot
tage, owned by Mrs. C. K. Chapman,
who lives next door. The blaze had
good start when discovered and the
fire department, because of the dis
tance from the water plug, was un-
able to make any headway in saving
it. About 500 feet of hose was laid,
which was all that the 4-inch main in
that section would accommodate, and
this was far from sufficient.
The combined loss is placed al
$4,000. The insurance on the house
amounted to $1,000, and on the
household goods $500, the latter be
ing considered by Mr.. Carmichael as
fairly we'll compensating him for the
less.
The only source of the fire sus,
pected was an oil stove which was left
burning low, cooking dinner.

a good business from the beginning
