Co-Operation aai Rural Credits.
The principles ot co-operative self-help,
demonstrated so effectively by savings and loan
sssoclatlons throughout the United States, offer
a practical, and at least partial, solution ot the
problem or ao-caued rural credits, this was
made clear by Myron T. Herrlck, former ambas
sador to France, In a recent address before a
gathering ot southern farmers. In the eastern
states these associations are utilised by farmers
to a greater extent than Is generally recognised.
In Ohio, Mr. Herrlck's home state, co-operative
associations In many localities overshadow local
banks and do business with farmers on equal,
if not better, terms thsn other loan agencies.
The distinguishing feature of co-operation
along this line Ilea in the absence ot dependence,
Every member works out his own degree of suc
cess, encouraged by the example of his associ
ates and given practical assistance in proportion
to his industry and thrlftlness. Here In Ne
braska there is no obstacle to farmers organla
lug and operating associations and achieving in
some, degree the success and confidence rep-
reseated by resources ot $40,000,000 in seventy
associations organized under state laws. The
borrowing home maker must give first mortgage
security. E&fety requires similar security from
borrowing farmers. There may be no differ
enee in the Interest charge over other loaning
agencies, but a loan as high as two-thirds ot the
appraised value of the security is permissible
and the borrower shares In the profits.
Tho ton-owing farmer with only chattel
security necessarily pays a higher rate for
money, but even so his crop and stock gives him
a much higher credit than the average working
man s chattels. The borrowing power of the
workman as well as the farmer depends on the
security, and its character determine the inter
est charge. In both instances real estate secur
liy commands the lowest money rate. Each
nana in tueir way nave wucin reacn the co
operative in earns of achieving their alms, and
their success Is measurably by the energy, Intel!!-
stcce td tLn't directing their activities.
Mr. Bryan it reeved.
Mr. Dryan devotes the bigger part of a page
In the current issue of the Commoner to The
Dee'a remonstrance against his arraignment, In
hit home-coming speech, of the country east of
the Alleghanles, In substance again as "the
enemy's country." This seems to have nettled
Mr. Bryan more than anything else since his
exit from the cabinet. He accuses The Bee of
"dodging as usual," and declares that our edi
torial "lllustratea one of the tricks of the plu
tocratic press," and that "it seeks to divert at
tention from particular offenders by pretending
to believe that criticism Is aimed at all the peo
ple of one section of the country." Mr. Bryan
then proceeds himself to do the dodging set by
explaining that when he called It "tbe Intolerant
and prejudiced east" he referred only to "a por
tion" of the eastern press, and did not at all in
clude the masses In tbe east, who, he Insists,
have remained loyal to democratic ideals and
policies (whether his or President Wilson's, he
does not state.)
Mr. Bryan should not let himself become so
easily peeved, for The Bee has constantly cred
ited him with sincerity of purpose, and with
being thoroughly conscientious, whereas he trios
to make out that everyone who disagrees with
him has a sinister Inspiration, or Is the mouth
piece of some criminal trust. In Mr. Bryan's
vocabulary, only Mr. Brysn is pure-minded and
mmaculate -only he is divinely chosen to speak
for the plain people. We have a faint suspicion
that In this instance the virulence manifested
against Tbe Bee takes its root In the recollection
that this newspaper helped three timet to keep
Mr. Bryan from consummating hit ambition to
live In the White House.
Building- Operationi in Omaha,
While building operation! In Omaha have
not taken on the proportion! of a boom, the
value of building for which permits were granted
in June shows an Increase of 47 per cent over
that of 1914. This Is very encouraging in
Itself, but the more noteworthy fact is tbe high
quality of Improvements indicated by the fig
ures. The average value for which permits
were taken out In Omaha last month la above
$5,000. This may not sound big, but compared
with the showing made by other cities, it Is a
subject for local pride. In St. Paul tbe average
value of building improvements, according to
the reported total of permits, was lees than
$4,000. In St. Louis, Minneapolis, Los Angeles,
Springfield (Mass.), Syracuse, Columbus (O.),
Duluth and a number of other cities of Omaha's
class, the average value waa less than $2,000.
In Cincinnati, Birmingham, Seattle and Indian
apolis It fell below $1,000, while Portland, Ore.,
and Bt. Joseph barely go above $1,000. These
figures show that Omaha la not only building,
but Is building well.
Generally the budding Industry shows the
effects of the conditions that have checked the
extension ot enterprise in most directions. The
men who are most vitally concerned are hope
ful, however, and look to the coming months
for a general revival In their line.
War's Havoo to News Oatherin,-.
The havoo wrought by war on the regular
news gstherlng facilities is faintly depicted In
the Associated Press service bulletin by a refer
ence to the Agence Haves, the press bureau
which supplies French papers and upon which
American newspapers formerly depended for
much ot their French news. The Agence Havas,
at last accounts, had had six of its staff killed
In battle, of whom two had been cited In the
orders of the day of the army for great gal
lantry and one was Its best reporter. Quite half
of the staff Is with the army more than fifty
Including some of the provincial correspond
ents. One of the acting managers at present
works in the office from 8 to 10 o'clock, and
then goes to his military duty In the ministry
of war until 4 o'clock, coming afterwards again
to the office and working until his desk Is
cleared. The Havas service, through the war,
has shrunk to about half Its former proportions.
The distribution ot news to the Interior by tele
phone has ceased, because the long distance
telephone is reserved for tbe army alone, as are
the trans-cbsnnel lines. The telegraph service
Is also much smaller than usual, due to financial
reasons, and to censorship, which, prevents pub
lication of news more frequently in French pa
pers thsn it does transmission ot telegrams
abroad.
We repeat that readers of American news
papers served by the Associated Press want to
congratulate themselves every day that they
have the promptest, most comprehensive and
least colored war newt at the" disposal of tbe
people of any country In the world.
"Honor" and the "Collece Man."
Princeton it out with a circular, inspired.
perhaps, by unpleasant proceedings at Annapo
lis, In wblch Is set forth the fact that at Prince
ton university students are "on honor' when
taking examinations. It can hardly be that this
Is Intended to suggest the superiority of the stu
dents at this particular college, or to leave the
Inference that they are more trustworthy than
those ot other Institutions of learning, large or
small. It does oocaslon some wonder that un
der any conditions such an announcement should
be made.
First of all, any scheme of education that
does not awaken the moral perceptions of the
students, and has not high ethical as well as
purely cultural value, la a failure at the very
beginning. Boys and girls should be taught
early to understand that telling the truth is only
a part of the obligation on them; that acting
ths truth Is sometimes ever more Important.
"What's the use of lying to yourself, when
you're alone?" asked a character in a popular
play, and thereby stated the principle that Is
involved In the so-called "Princeton honor sys
tem."
A student who cheats la his examination
doesn't defraud anybody but himself. He msy
secure tbe coveted degree, but sooner or lster he
will be found out In his deception, for the time
must come when his lack of thoroughness will
ba exposed. And things must have reached
sorry pass when our college men are to be put
on honor not to deprive themselves of the very
thing they seek at school.

New York) without taxing hospitals on the way,

FROM John T. BelL who Is now edlUns- a weekly
paper called "The Enterprise," way out In New.
berg. Ore., I have an Interaatlng personal reminis
cence contribution entreated by the Poppleton autoblo
graphy recently published In Ths Bee. Mr. Bell, whe
la well remembered by the old-timers here, wrlteet
"I hve Juet read ths chapter of A. J. Poppleton s
autobiography printed In tha Be which reminds me
of a transaction In which I contributed to Mr.
Popplaton's wealth. It was when W. O. Bhrtver and
I were in the real estate business In Omaha, Mr.
Poppleton told m he wanted to buy some land pear
town for 'a long time Investment' for hie children.
I called his attention to a tract of 110 acres weat of
town which belonted to Oen. W. W. Lowe. Ha
looked rt over. The price was STO.OW which Mr.
Poppleton aald waa exceaslre. We finally sot It
reduced to M.nM, and ha aald he would take It If the
title waa all rlfht. Ha set Oeorre I. Gilbert to
running- down the title. That gentleman tackled It
with a microscope. This took soma time and Mr.
Poppleton lost his Interest In the deal.
"When we all met in the office of Kennedy A
Gilbert to close the matter up, Mr. Poppleton wse
out of patience with the entire' business. He was
out of humor with me for urging him to buy the
property; he waa out of humor with General Lew
on account of his being the owner of the land, and
he waa out of humor with Mr. Ollbert on acoount of
his falling to find defects In the title. As he slimed
his check in payment, he said, 'that's a lot of money
to pay for unproductive property.
"About a year after thia deal was made he sold
ten acres of the land to John I McCag-ue for $.W,
and something Ilk a year later sold twenty acres ot
the land to the father of Congressman Txbeck. Tht
left eighty acres of land, with the original purchase
price all returned to Mr. Poppleton.
"In the winter of lMd-7 he refused an offer of
$ 10T) no which 1 presented to him on behalf of Colonel
Bamuel Curtis and his associates, and h platted the
land Into building lota He named the tract Pop
pleton Park. It was given to the firm of Bell A
McCandllsh to sell, and In seventy days we sold the
seat half for about 1 12(1,000. Bo that the entire trans
action stood thus: Purchase price, $26,000; total
sales, 1151,000, less modest expense of handling the
property, and forty acres of land left.
"Sales of considerable amount were made ti
building associations, with partial p&ymenta, one
fourth cash as I remember it, and the balance In
three equal annual payments, with Interest payable
quarterly, perhaps. Collections were made by tha
secretaries of these associations, one of whom waa
the secretary of Omaha Young Men's Christian as
sociation. I forget his name, but he faded away
silently, carrying with htm about H.000 cash that
ahould have been turned over to Mr. Poppleton.
Of course the loss had to be made up by the as
sociation. I really ought to remember the ohap'a
name, for I waa out $1,600 In cash by reason of his
slip tn Judgment as to what constituted business
Integrity."
If Mr. Bell were to come back here now. I know
he would have his eyes opened wide by the prerent-diy
real estate transactions, which have so far out
topped the high marks of the boom days as to make
the speculators of that period wonder at their modesty.
There Is this difference, though, that the boom-day
transactions In Omaha real estate were chiefly
blackboard trading, by which people marked them
selves up every time a lot chanted hands, whereas
almost all of the buying now la for Investment and
business purposes, aa wltneaa the substantial Improve
ments actually In progress whichever way one look.
What la probably the shortest business letter ea
record I being exhibited by Jame B. Ludlow, local
manager of the Crane ompiny. As precaution against
being caught on the links and charged with loafin?
on the Job, Mr. Ludlow wrote to headquarter aaylng
he would take his vacation "piecemeal" during the
golf season It the boss had no objections. For reply
he had the return of his letter, on which "the bees"
with his pencil had circled the word "objections" In
the top of a hook ending below with the notation,
"None."
With the death of t Clair McKelway. editor of
the Brooklyn Eagi, mighty few of the old-tlm Amer
ican Journullsts remain. Mr. McKelway waa a Mis
souri an by birth, and had the advantage of a college
education, so that h hardly came within the defini
tion of a self-made man, but he was for a third of a
century among the forceful leader of American
thought. Offhand. I can think of only Colonel Henry
Wattereon as ante-dating htm, and still In the harness.
Dr. McKelway, for he carried a whole string of
honorary college degree, waa a visitor In Omalia
about the time of our exposition, and the honor guest
at a banquet arranged for him at the Omaha club by
some of his democratic friends and admirers here,
headd by Dr. Gorg U Miller. It Juat happened
that Colonel Watterson waa in Omaha at the sam
moment, and thse three old-time newspaper men con
tributed prcticUy the entlr after-dinner entertain
ment, which waa both brilliant and memorable.

WE SHOULD WORRY.
We worry because of our neighbor.
Their children, their chickens and catt
e worry because we are slender;
We worry because we are fat;
If ta'.l or If short we worry:
We worrr for this and for that.
We worry because It la morning.
And our worries have Just begun;
We worry becaune It is evening.
And our worries are not half done;
We worry because of the weather.
The rain, and the cold and the heat;
We worry because of our stomachs;
We worry because of our feet;
We worry because of our husband;
We worry because of our wife;
Ot this and that and the other.
We worry along through life.
Wo worry because it Is winter.
With furnace and tras bills, and then
We worry because It Is summer
With file and mosqultos. and when
Summer ha vanished, we worry
Because it ia winter aaaln.
We worry because It la raining;
W worrv because It is dryt
We worry because It 1 Christmas;
We worry at Fourth of July;
We worry because of the future;
We worry because of th past;
We worry becauae of the present.
That flies so terribly fast.
We worry when thinss go cross-ways;
We worry when thtngt go right;
We worry all day in our business;
We worry at home at night
For life Is continuous worry.
From birth till our days have all passedi
So w worry alons through a life time.
And die with our worries at last.
