Since the organization OF the fed
eral farm loan system loans amount
ing to n total OF S1,1eo, ,e5a. .618 have
been made to farmers. The federal
land banks have loaned about two
thirds OF this amount and the Joint
stock land banks the balance. In Iowa,
however. the joint stock land banks
have loaned almost twice as much as
the federal land banks, the record
standing $40 ooo.0o0 for the Joint stock
land banks and S39,00o.Oo0 for the
farm land banks In the year ending
June 30, 1922, the Joint stock land banks
all over the country loaned s23S, 900.

MAR RAGE

l am well assured that marriage is
ual. Both church and state do well to
concern themselves with 1t, writes
Maude Royden In the Atlantic
Monthly. But let them do so at the
right end-that is to say, at the begin
ming. To fail In marriage is a great
and tragic failure for the mar
ried partners, even more tragic for
their children. Every one should be
taught to think of marriage as high
and sacred responsibility. Both church
and state-but especially the church.
should regard 1t as a grave indictment
against themselves that any of their
members should marry without know
Ing what they are about. Ignorance
and levity should be made impossible,
30 far as any teaching or moral au-
thority can make them SO. No one
should be allowed to admit failure
lightly or quickly. Every effort should
be made to create a deep sense of re
sponslbility, to induce those who have
failed, to try whether success be not
yet possible. But so long as either
church or state bases its laws upon
iction-as long as their morality leans
upon dishonest but absolutely rigid
pretense-so long will they shlrk the
harder but truer duty Of intoxicating
so high an Ideal OF marriage. so deep
a sense Of mutual and racial respon-
sIblIlty, that both separation and dl-
vorce Will at last become as rare as
they are always tragic.

Wonder If News Instinct
Will Be Able to Swing
Republican Papers.

Washington ID. C., March 29.-
Counter propaganda, by means of
which Republican leaders expect to
divert attention % the voters from
disclosures made before congressional
committees or belittle the facts thus
disclosed, has started. Evidences of
this are to be found in cartoons and
editorials appearing in the national
weeklies and now the great daily
papers are to be asked to do what
they can to put on the "soft pedal. :"
bearing in mind that "all this hurts
the party" and that "this is a presi-
dental year."
1t remains TO be seen whether these
newspaper men, heads of the bureaus
for the big New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Chicago papers-nearly
all of whom are Rcpublicans-will
yield TO the flattery Of the Coolidge
campaign committee and demonstrate
that with them party regularity gets
preference over the news instinct.
Thus far these newspapers have

plastered their front pages with the
shame of Fall. Daugherty ct al in

Then. of course, there is the cam

to raise money to feed the elephant

the clover brackets" and that limita-
ton of not more than $1,000 from
any one individual was abandoned
long ago, about the time that Harry
+. Sinclair was asked to put up $780,
900 il not before.
The Democratic leaders as yet are
not perturbed over the wriggling of
the Republicans. Without under-es-
timating the potency of the press they
do not believe any amount of bally-
hooing will make the country think
black is white. They are convinced
that the newspaper which undertakes
to defend Daugherty, DENLY and Fall,
to say nothing Of lesser culprits such
as Forbes. will hear, Som the constant
reader, who live {. the Forks of the
Creek. MsceSest, they believe that
the bulk OF ths newspapers are hon

Vote Will Tell.
1t is pointed out that four years
| ago advocates of the League of Ma
tons, including the Democratic candi-
date for the presidency, insisted this
was not a partisan issue, even as
the Republicans today are crying that
their party should not be held re
sponsible for the corruption Of a few
in high places. Four years ago, how
ever, the voters registered their dis
approval Of an administration which
stood for the league by majority Of
seven million and, if the Democratic
leaders have read the psychology o.
the people Alright, bribery and corrup
ton is going to be the outstanding
campaign issue this year, whether the
Republicans want it or not.

get their designation from cardinals,
Roman Catholic theology treats of the
virtues as both theological and moral.
The theological virtues Immediately
regard God, while the moral virtues
are commanded and rewarded by God.
In these systems all moral virtues
spring from prudence, fortitude, tenn
perance and justice.
The virtues are cardinal in the
sense that they are fundamental. They
are the virtues upon which good char
acter hinges or depends.
From the virtues the conversation
naturally drifted to the cardinal sins.
1t was easy for most of the group in
the hotel lobby to recall what might
be considered cardinal sins. but never
theless there was much difference of
opinion even as to these. And, as n
matter of fact, the sins are not so
thoroughly established in philosophy
as the virtues. The reason for this is
not difficult to understand. There are
so many more sins in the world than
virtues.
The generally accepted seven "mor-
tai or deadly sins" however are /:
Pride, covetousness, lust, anger. glut-
tony, envy and sloth. Few persons
realize that pride has through the
ages been regarded as the greatest of
all the sins. 1t long has gone before
fall. Yet thus far there has been no
special investigation ordered of any
one just because he was proud.
On of the greatest jokes Washing
ton has ever known was the state
ment by the wisest cracker of all the
sporting fraternity in the United
States. Tex Richard, that he believed

Washington, ID. c., March 29.-ln
some manner or other the discussion
in what may be called the administra-
ton hotel here in Washington turned
day or two ago upon the cardinal
virtues. Perhaps it was suggested by
the fact that two American arch
bishops were being made cardinals in
Rome. Perhaps it was the state Of the
public mind in the capital. But in
any event there was not person in
a group of seven who could name the
cardinal virtues. Not that virtue has
reached such low ebb in Washington,
either. But it is doubtful if many
persons. in the capital or out, could
name the virtues out Of hand.
1t is very generally known that the
cardinal virtues are the most i'm
portant elements of good character.
but different men have described them
in different ways. So that gropers
after the light, in this dark fog which
envelopes the present day horizon,
may know and be guided thereby let
it be set down that in ancient philos.
ophy the four cardinal virtues were !:
Justice.
Prudence.
Temperance.
Fortitude.
Later there was an attempt at a
so-called correction of the classified.
ton which named the virtues as be-
nevolence, justice, truth, purity and
order. But generally speaking the
ancient "big four" still stand and are
accepted today. 1t is easy to see that
any man, possessed of these virtues,
would have little to fear from any
source, congressional inquiry or what
not. 1t is also difficult TO name many
men in public life who possess the
virtues in an outstanding manner.
Although the cardinal virtues do not
