I nev6"r hia'do this statement, with which Mr. Whisler attempts to credit me, to Mr. "Whisler or anyone else. Mr. Whisler has taken what suited him from an interviow published in one of tho local papers and which, was merely . reporter's statement, not mine. Tho reporter got mixed in the varieties of fruits, for which lam not responsible. I am always ready to back any statement which appears over my signature; if Mr. Whisler really wanted to know whether or not tho statement in tho. Sun was cor rect before "quoting" one, I was not eo far away but that I might have been reached. ..$ ! Even itthB reporter's "stery 'was correct Mr. Whisler has no right to assume that the reporter had in mind tho same blocks which seem to bo In controversy. Tho article referred to no particular block, but Mr. Whis ler presumes, by some mental pro cess, that It must menu tho block or block ho is thinking about. Mr. Whisler is cither a dreamer or be lieves himself to tie a mind reader, v P, J. O'GARA. DECLARE CHARGES OF FIGHTING BOB ABSURD WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.

INDEFENSIBLE PRESIDENT TAlT 1ms not added to His popularity bi'fanic by vetoing for tho second time the wool tariff bill revising Schedule K. lie has given the nation another instance of his innate bourbonisni. For his first veto, the president gave the reason thnt Congress should have waited for the report from his own tariff board upon the subject. For his second veto, Mr. Taft gives as a reason that the bill does Jiot conform sufficiently to the board's rind ings, although there is actually little difference. The president assumes the attitude that. Congress must abdicate its legislative rights of revising tariffs, and place the power in a board of his own selection. Vet there are congressmen who have studied the tariff for years and know more about it than members of the tariff board. ' Mr. Taft did not wait for the report of any tariff board before approving Schedule Iv of the Payne-Aldrieh tariff, which he admitted shortly afterwards "indefon sible." He had good grounds for vetoing, instead of approving this measure, "because it broke faith with "his pre-election pledge to revise the tariff downward. 13y his two vetoes, the president has officially prolonged this "indefensible" robbery of1 the people, which his firbt signature created. The twice vetoed tariff bill was not a free trade measure, tt carried out the principle of protection by imposing duties of 29 per cent on raw wool and 19 per cent on woolen clothing. The vetoed bill was not even a democratic measure, but a progressive republican measure. It was lathered by Senator La Follettc, and passed both houses and senate after the Underwood bill had met defeat in the senate. In his speech in its support, Mr. La Follette said that it carried out tho republican party's promise of reducing Uq tariff downward "without disturbing in the slightest degree a single American industry." Continuing, the senator said: , "It is my judgment that there are no more iniquitous, no more indefensible, no more harmful provisions in all the tariff law than those contained in schedule K. "The ad valorem rates proposed will simplify the schedule in point of phraseology, will automatically do away with whatever fraud there" is in the'so-ealled com pensatory duty, will abolish the discrimination against the poor man's cloth in favor of that of tho rich man, will remove the discrimination against the carded-wool manu facturer, and, without attempting to draw the line between the compensatory and the protective duty, will automatic ally provide for both, leaving ample protection for the wool-grower and the manufacturer,, without leaving the consumer completely at the mercy of the latter." President Taft's veto is indefensible; But so was his approval of the Payne-Aldrieh bill, so is his pet com merce court, so are many of his official acts, and so also is his renomination. German Cooperative Credit System WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. llow the German farmors have welded their fifteen thousand and odd rural ro-operative banks into a national organization that places behind the German agriculturist of today a fi nancial power of stupendous sizo Is shown by the Investigation wlilch 'Is being conducted by Ambassador Leishman, at Berlin, In connection with President Taft's effort to es tablish co-operativo credit In tho United States for tho benefit of the American farmer. Tho average Tnral co-opcratlvo bank-in Germany has a membership of less than a hundred people. It is conducted almost as a family affair and every member is personally ac quainted with all tho other members. Naturally, any organization; of 'such limited scope "would provo individ ually an insignificant factor in tho financial world. It quickly dawned upon tho German farmors, aftor tho co-operative bank idea had taken substantial root In that country, that if their organizations wero to secure a commanding position in tho hank ing world they must concentrate their strength through unions. Con sequently, tho leaders of tho move ment undertook to combine the var ious rural banks in each province. A central co-opcratlvo bank was established In each province, modolcd simply as an enlarged edition of tho local banks. Tho mombers belong ing to the central banks wero tho local banks. They subscribed to stock In tho central banks to form tho capital. Their surplus funds wero deposited with tho contral banks. Some money Js securod a!to from loans from outside bantyi and soino from loans advanced by tho two general central banks wlilch aro a part of tho co-ojieratlio bank or ganization and aro to tho provincial central banks what thobo bankB aro to tho local banks or tho local banks Mro to vthclr members, tho farmers. Tho chief, function ''of those corf tral banks Js to oqualizo tho credit needs of tho local banks. Tho groat prosperity attending tho local banks gives thorn, as a whole, money onough to finance tho farmers with ail the loans which thoy require. However,' this 'prosperity Is not equally divided. Ono bank finds it solf with a largo surplus at ono tlmo and another bank is Jn need of a loan to meet tho calls mado'upon it'by its mombers. Tho slirplus of tho onV hank is deposited with the central hank of that province and Is, In turn, loaned by tho central bunk to thp other local bank' requiring additional fuuds, Surplus funds not required by tho local banks for loans aro In vested either with tho general cen tral banks or in securities. Tho central banks lend money to tho local banks in two ways: upon current ac count and for fixed periods. Loans on current account, however, form tho great majority of tho business. A step higher than theso provin cial banks aro tho general central banks. These banks extond their operations over tho ontiro Empire. There aro two of theso banks tho Central Agricultural Loan Bank of Germany at Berlin and-tho National Bank for Co-oporatlvo Societies nt Darmstadt. Theso banks grant loans to" tho contral co-opcratlvo banks nnd rccclvo their deposits, acting as "equalizers," JiiBt as tho provincial banks do to tho 'local banks. In 19p9 thcse'provlncial and gen eral central banks did a total busi ness of $1,557,203,580. This ghes an Idea of tho size of the co-operative credit business of Gormnny nnd of its Importance to the Gorman farmer. Financial co-operation was not tho only need folt among tho nmny co oporatlvo societies. It was a great movement, a now theory -which, though immensely successful in its original form, required development and direction as it extended over tho Hmplro nnd was fitted to tho differ ing conditions of various communi ties. Also tho co-operativo idea in Gormnny was not confined entirely to financial co-operation. Thoro wero distributive co-oporatlvo socie ties, dairying co-oporatlvo societies, aim other kluds. Tho working classes of Gormnny found nn idea which would uid them in buying, in selling, and In banking. Tho mom bers in this natlon-wido movomont felt tho need of co-operation among themselves. As a result, provincial organizations wero formod to propn guto tho co-oporutlvo Idoa, to edu cate tho pcoplo Jn tho movement, mid to act as n general (Icfcimo asso ciation 'for tho ontiro membership of tho co-oporatlvo movomont. Theso provincial organisations wero in turn combined in national oiganlzatlons, At 'first there woro two national fed erations (as they woro termed) and theso two maintained a separate ex istence for some yeais. Thoy oven worked at cross purposes In muny In stances, But tho natural similarity of tholr motives finally lead to a consolidation, nnd today thoro Is but tho'ono national federation tho Na tional Federation of Darmstadt, In 1880 n law was passed adding to tho duties of this uutloiuil federation tho Task of Inspecting tho work of the affiliated societies, Tho national ATTEMPTS RECORD OCEAN II $$&& - ' ' 7 : "" " "vSA u 1 1 l'EK-,iL ''- T V w .. 1 1 4 y fn-ToTDCisuTt2poir in Mirjoa-ANi photographed u.va RS5ENc-ER. fWH THE DEO.
