PROTECTING THE By a unanimous
SMALL BORROWERS vote the Mis
souri Senate has passed what is com
monly called the loan shark bill and
the measure is now under considera
tion in the House. Its object is to
prevent the robbery by usurious meth
ods, of the most necessitous class of
borrowers, who, having nothing for
security, are compelled to consent to
any terms that will yield them a little
ready money for food and shelter. It
is estimated that in a city like St.
Louis this suffering and hitherto de
fenseless class borrow about $2,000,
000 a year, for the use of which more
than $4,000,000 is extorted from them
in the course of twelve months. Ex
isting laws against usury are evaded.
The victim must have a little money
t once, and has neither the know
ledge nor resources to contend for
legal rates. His "protection rests with
an effective system; and one, after
careful study, seems to be provided
in the bill just approved, without a
dissenting vote, in the State Senate.
This bill forbids any one to engage
in the business and charge more thau
8 per cent per annum witnout being
licensed by the city where it is lo
cated. The city issuing the license
is given full authority to regulate and
" control. A person holding a license
from the city, and also giving bond,
would be permitted to charge 2 per
cent a month interest and a dollar
and a half service and expense charge,
but is forbidden to make a loan ex
ceeding $300. The bill pending at
Jefferson City is in line with the rec
ommendations of the National Fede
ration of Remedial Loan Institutions,
and with laws passed in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey and other
states. The main point is that such
a law is a real, practical regulation
and not a statute with loopholes for
usurers. The rigid license system,
with city supervision, will end the
methods by which Ion sharks manage
to charge what they please.
KILLING OFF The United States
HOUSEHOLD PESTS Department of
Agriculture has published a bulletin
dealing with the destruction of pests
to the household. An infallible means
of ridding houses of flies, cockroaches,
rats, mice, fleas, clothes moths and
other vermin is claimed.
The medium of effecting this is by
means of hydrocyanic acid gas, and
the credit of the discovery is due Dr.
L. O. Howard and C. H. Popenoe of
the department.
Flies, rats and mice are prolific dis
ease breeders, being among the most
persistent of germ carriers and dis-,
tributors. Rats, mice, clothes moths
and other vermin annually cause dam
age which can only be reckoned in
the hundreds of millions of dollars.
The department has issued a pam
phlet upon the subject, which should
be in the hands of every householder,
for if a test shows that the gas, which
is said to be cheap and easy to handle,
' accomplishes what the department
says it does, one of the serious prob
lems of sanitation will have been
solved.

The city council " has' instructed
Chief of Police Shaw to enforce to
the letter the ordinance relating to
dogs. The chief announced Thurs
day that all dogs allowed to go on
the streets must not only have a col
lar but must have a city license at
tached to the collar. Licenses must
be provided for all dogs four months
of age or more. The committee rep
resenting the Woman's Club informed
the council that it would be willing
to abondon its plan to have dogs pre
vented from running at large unless
under leash, if the city would promise
to rigidly enforce the law.

METHODISTS TO HOLD
CREAT PARLIAMENT
One of the most important move
ments ever inaugurated for the pur
pose of bringing Methodists of the
Northwest into closer touch with the
work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in her organized missionary,
educational and benevolent enterprises
is the series of parliaments opened
Wednesday in Grants Pass. The
next one will be held in Portland, be
ginning Sunday afternoon, with an
address by Bishop Shepherd of Kan
sas City.
"America and the Whole World for
Christ" is the motto for all these
gatherings.
Specialists from all parts of the
world-field will be present to repre
sent the claims of the various causes,
and to point to the open door in all
lands and renew the Macedonian cry
from all the world. America's needs
and opportunities and her relation to
the evangelization of the world will
not be overlooked, but particularly
urged by those who will plead the
cause of home missions in all its as
pects. Three of the General Superinten
dents of the church will be in atten
dance. Bishops F. J. McConnell, of
Denver, Col., W. O. Shepherd, Kansas
City, and Richard J. Cooke, Portland,
have prominent places on the program
and others will speak. It is seldom
Jthat such an array of talent is brought
together. It is the best the church

rather cold and stormy the past few
days.
We are glad to report that the sick

All were shocked to read of the sud

place and owned the place where Mr.
Pamperine now lives.

lady brought a wedding fruit cake.
The two cemeteries have been burn

looks of the "City of the dead.''

the home of Mr. and Mrs.' Spancenberg
