HELPING THE FARMER.
trr HE two little South American republics o. Uruguay
r and Paraguay, so unimportant on the maps that
1 many people a few years out of school have about
forgotten their existence, have been developing some
experiences that could well be studied by this country.
Each is an agricultural country; each has been busily de
vising methods to attract immigration and development.
Each regarding agriculture as the industry on which all
others must rest; have gone in for plans of helping the
farmer that are radical, and yet have thus far produced
excellent results. .
Uruguay's government found farmers paying outra
geous rates of interest on money. A big national bank
was organized. Money was secured, through this bank,
from European centres, and lent to the farmers at rates
rather less than half those that had previously prevailed.
In Paraguay the Banco Agricola, or agricultural bank
of the nation, has $14,000,000 capital, and the larger part
of this is lent to farmers on a plan by which it is paid
back in annual installments extending over a period of
fifteen years. This bank, on behalf of the government,
furnishes free seeds and helps farmers to buy imple
ments, fence wire, etc.
When an immigrant comes in and declares his purpose
to become a citizen he receives about thirty acres of land,
and as soon as he makes certain improvements required
by law, he has as much more conveyed to him. The bank
will advance him cash up to $5 an acre to make improve
ments and to produce the first crop.
These measures, of course, are vastly more radical
than anybody dreams of taking in- behalf of American
agriculture, and than American farmers want, for they
ask no charity of anybody. But they teach one lesson
that should guide in formulating a system of rural fi
nance here. They prove that the combination of the soil
and the man owning it makes a fine security. In Uruguay
and Paraguay, as in Ireland and in the north of Europe
under the Landschaften system, experience has demon
strated that this kind of banking is safe. The farmer is
helped and the banker At the same time profits by help
ing him.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
fwHE political outlook so far as the governorship is
concerned is pretty uauiy nuxcu. mmc ui e as jhuuj
opinions as to who is in the lead as there are candi
dates. These opinions are, of course, most of them
"the thought that was fathered by the wish." Putting
all personal feeling out of the matter and looking at it
cold-bloodedly, there seems to be but little doubt that the
Republican nomination lies between General Crawford
and Dr. Withycombe, with Crawford the stronger, and
Gus Moser an unknown quantity. It is understood the
wet element is strongly behind him, and with the vote
divided it is possible for him to pull through and capture
the nomination. We do not know that the wet element
has concentrated on him, but such is alleged to be the
fact. If they have, he is dangerous to all his opponents.
John3 is making an active campaign and seems to be
gaining some support. On the Democratic side it seems
to have settled down to a fight between Bennett and
Smith, with the former rather the favorite in the race,
although the Manning adherents are making strong
claims of victory. This is the way the situation sizes up,
and it looks as though the final round would be between
Bennett and Crawford, with Smith and Manning neck
and neck for second place in the Democratic primary.
However, this is not a prediction it's a guess because
there is really no basis upon which to base a real calcula
tion. Argentine gave us the tango, and if she will make
amends by relieving us of Mexico we will call it square.
Huerta, who had Richard Harding Davi3 in jail, has
turned him loose. Huerta may get drunk occasionally,
but it is safe to, say no drunken brain ever conjured up
so mean and disreputable a way of getting even on his
enemies. This one act should justify President Wilson in
declaring all mediation off. Any king, prince or poten
tate that had Richard Harding Davis in close confinement
and deliberately gave him his liberty should be punished
as an enemy of all humanity.
It is stated in a report from the Colorado strike and
upon it that "the strikers are many of them foreigners
and do not speak English and it is therefore difficult to
make them understand when vou trv to exnlain the situ
ation to them." Rockefeller is not a foreigner, speaks
and understands English, and yet it seem3 to be just as
hard to make him understand, when the situation is ex
plained to him.
Thp report that last Sunday many of the American
soldiers and sailors attended church in the morning and
a bullfight in the afternoon, shows the boys have consid
erable tact. The most delicate and flattering thing that
can be done to any people is to conform to and take part
in their national religion.
Friday is the date on which many pipe dreams are sup
posed to come true. Saturday morning many will find
their pipes have gone out, and that they are also out of
dope.

The wind comes singing from the
south, as hot as though 'twere fried,
suggestive of a turnaeo mouth, and
blazing coal uisid.
And now the wheat
will dio the death,
the corn will say
goodbye; for in that
fierce' and fiery
breath all growing
things must d i e.
The wind comes
nosing from the
north, to see what
it may sec; and
when that sort of
wind comes forth, 1
murmur, " II n 1 1 v
chee! 'Twill kill the
blossoms on tho trees, tho garden snss
must go; when nature trots out such
a breeze, the poor man hns no show.
The wind comes wailing from the east,
and. floods will soon appear; 1 hoped
to seo my store increased in goodly
shape this year, but endless raius will
spoil tho oats, and drown the geese

goats, and I'll lose 'many bucks." Thus
speaks the kicker, and his wail is ris
ing every day; he's sure that every
thing; will fail, that grief is on the
way. If he were farming Cananu's
land, with milk and honey near, he still
would kick to beat the band, and shed
the briny tear.
COMPROMISE AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
London, May 13. Premier Asquith
was still trying today to effect a com
promise on the Irish home rule bill on
a basis acceptable both to home-rulers
and the opponents.
It looked, however, like an impossibility.-
The Irish would not consent to
exempting I'lster except wito a stipu
lation for an election on the question
at least as often as every six years.
The "antis"' insisted ou perpetual ex
emption. The premier has the Totes to pass
tke bill but fears civil war in Ulster.
