Monitor said:
Let no one regard lightly or slightingly the in
fluence of the so-called country press of the United
States. The home newspaper is looked to in many
a community as the mentor and guide when the
time comes to make an important decision. The
editor Of the country paper, usually unassuningly,
is a leader in shaping the decisions of his towns
people in those progressive undertakings which
affect the common welfare. No matter if the people
Of the rural sections are coming more and more to
look to the city papers for their news of world hap
penings-they still depend for friendly counsel and
advice upon the judgment of someone within their
own community circle who has proved himself de-
'~pendable and wise.
so 1t is a matter of no little Importance, con-
s1dering the magnitude of the subject, that the
country press of the United States has enlisted
Fundamentally to fight the battle of Temperance
and law enforcement. The issue will be inter
estlng, If not spectacular. Allied with the destruc-
tive liquor interests are many of the larger daily
and weekly papers published In the cities. For
some reason which the editors and owners of these
papers of large circulation have not publicly dis.
closed, they have persisted in their effort to dis
courage a complete enforcement of the prohibition
law. Many of them have allotted generous space
to news detailing the manner in which the law is
violated, and not a few have, by editorial comment
sought to popularize the campaign of notification.
Now comes the country editor and his thousands

ready to defend and uphold the law which it has
been sought to destroy. They have no selfish mo-
tive In thus ~enlisting on the side of right. They are
committed to the cause by their realization that the
best interests Of themselves and of the people and
industries which they seek to protect demand that
the constitution and the laws be unhesitatingly
obeyed. The tainted money of the bootlegger and the
brewer has not influenced them to betray the
people whose confidence they have gained and
desire to keep. They feel a personal responsibility.

ness. 1t was the strength of the moral force In the
agricultural states that made possible the early
enactment of the law which the enemies of society
are now seeking to n%ullify. This same coura geous
electorate will see to it that no backward step is
taken. No editor of a country paper need apologize

The Pity of It

AS a subject for newspaper space and consistent
occupier of preferred position, in her day. Evelvn
Nesbft had no rivals. Her doings, and comings and
goings, were fed literally to the reading nublic
How well the public liked it, publishers did not
stop to consider. Neither did they consider what
effect the printing of scandal, of which her life
seemed largely composed, would have, upon the
immature readers into whose hands their publica.
lions were sure to fall.
AS recalled in this day there was nothing much
to say in behalf of the woman's moral Character
she may have been the victim and may have lacked
the early training all girls should receive from
their mothers. In any event her life from early
girlhood seemed to be a succession of immoro1
scrapes. She would have been dropped by the wnv.
side except for her marriage with the scion of q
wealthy family, possibly more irresponsible than
herself. ~
Since the termination Of the almost endless
"Thaw Case" and her subsequent divorce EVELYN
dropped from public view except for rare inter.
walls, when her suicide would be reported. or the
fact that she had taken up cabaret dancing for +.
livelihood. All the while the newspaper sDace oc.
cupied grew less and less. ~
Later came a paragraph dealing with her arrest
charged with possession and sale Of narcotics. Now
comes a three line press report of her arrest for
possessing and drinking liquor in a public cafe
at Atlantic City.
That will about mark the end of the attention
she will receive at the hands Of reporters and NH.
fishers. She is no longer good COPY. She has RIM
her course. She is only thirty.two but ehe has
lived a hundred years. w
In all probability there is but one moro brief
newspaper notice to be accorded her.
What n wreck she has made of her life and ubo.

.ED|S0N-FoRD PLAN,
! UNFAIR TO FARMER
Third Article Shows How Cred
\ it Test Would Fail Him in
His Need.

The unfairness to the farmer Of
the Edison-Ford commodity mon
ey" scheme, although ostensibly
aimed to improve his economic pc.
sition, is discussed in the present
article, which is the third in a Sc
ries prepared by the American
Bankers Association, reviewing
the exposure of the weaknesses Of
the plan as presented by William
T. Foster, Director of the Pollack
Foundation for Economic Re-
search.
Briefly, the plan, sponsored by
Thomas Edison and Henry Ford,
would provide for Government
warehousing of basic commodities,
against which currency would be
loaned, during storage, to the pro-
Queer without interest, up to half
the average value of the products
for the previous twenty-five years.
On the other half Of the value the
producer would receive certifl.
Gates which he could sell or use
for bank loans.
Restricted Credit
In that provision allowing for
Government loans only up to hat
the average value for twenty-five
years Mr.. Foster finds particular
weakness in the scheme. He
points out that prices have risen
so high since 1896 that the farmer
could borrow on most products
much less than half the present
value of the products-much less,
in fact, than he could borrow d.
lrectly from the banks. Loans on
the other half the value. which
would be on virtually second
mortgage basis, he says, would not
be desirable for the banks.
>"The plan is not fair even to
farmers: it involves unjust dis
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-07-14

elimination" Mr.. Foster says.
"The Edison plan fixes the loan
values of all products absolutely,
uniformly and arbitrarily. 1t ig-
nores the relative prospects Of diff
ferent commodity markets. Only
by the merest chance would such
a method give a fair loan vaiua.
ton. Fifty per cent of the aver
age price for the previous twenty
five years would be too high for
some commodities and too low for
most of them. With such details
the Edison plan is not concerned.
Banks Fairer to Farmers
1.-THE general practice of the
banks is not only fairer to farm
ers, but it is sounder business.
There is no justification for basing
the loan value of anything upon
average prices in past years.
Sound banking practice looks to
the future. A bank-for the pro-
lection of its depositors, If for no
other reason - must consider
above everything the prospects OF
getting its money back. And a
farmers prospects Of repaying a
loan from the sale of his product
depend entirely on future prices,
not at all on past prices. Last
years runs do not count in this
years game"
As to the claim that the Edison
plan would curb speculation in
farm products, Mr.. Foster says:
There is nothing in the Edison
plan that would tend to abolish
speculation. Even after the farm.
er had stored his products and OBJ
tanned loan from the Govern
ment, he would still be free to sell
his products outright to specula.
tors. The farmer would have all
the inducements to sell that he
has today, and spectators would
have all the inducements to buy.
Clearly, then, the Edison plan
would not provide money that is
sounder than gold money; 1t
would not provide q money less
subject to fuctuation in value; it
would not enable farmers to OBJ
tain larger loans than they can
now obtain; it would not divorce
agriculture from the banking sys-
tenn; and 1t would not eliminate
speculation in farm products"
