Laws Against Pistol Toting.
i Mayor Carter Harrison of Chi
cago, whose father was assassinated,
attributes chiefly to lax laws and
failure of Juries to convict, the fre
quent attempts made upon the lives
of public men in this country, where,
he says, in spite of our boasted
freedom, assassins are more numer
ous than in Russia. He would at
tach severer penalties to the carry
ing of concealed weapons and im
pose the extreme penalty for at
tempted, as well as actual, assas
sination, for, ne affirms, the would
be assassin always expects to escape
death.
However potent the rest of the
argument may be, it Is doubtful if
any law would deter these maniacs
from attempting assassination. Tbey
usually are past the point of holding
their own lives dear, as experience
has shown.. Yet it certainly is time
for more rigid restrictions on gun
toting. Let the act of carrying a
deadly weapon in concealment be
punished and fewer will be carried,
for the practice is not confined to
maniacs and anarchists. The indis
criminate sale of guns and explosives
should also be stopped.
Mayor Harrison points out the
difficulty encountered in Chicago
and elsewhere of securing convic
tions of would-be murderers in the
face of plain evidence, and he is
right in declaring that this has a
very dangerous Influence. If the
law, after stiffening up on its penal
ties, could secure better co-operation
from Juries, a good deal, but not all,
would be done toward suppressing
the evil.

The Teacher's Personal Influence.
The young woman who goes into
a school room to teach boys and girls
without appreciating the value of
tact faces serious trouble. She needs
the tact to give her personal influ
ence with every boy and girl; she
needs it to win their respect and con
fidence, without which she had bet
ter not undertake the task of teach
ins. -"
The successful teacher is one in
whose sense of fairness aud impar
tiality the pupils have full faith. She
impresses them, not by what she says
so much as by what she does, with
the belief that she has no favorites
and that no personal like or dislike
of hers shall Influence her treatment
of them. . 1
Teachers are , human and must
have preferences among the children,
since some children are particularly
annoying, while others give little
trouble, but, a teacher who allows
her feelings to beget discrimination
between the pupils misconceives her
function. The child in that case is
there to receive instruction the
teacher is Unfit and unequipped to
give. The excuse that teaching is
hard, arduous work, will not answer.
Whoever! undertake the work must
be willing to undergo its hardships
in order to reap its rich rewards. ,

CHEAPER, LOANS FOR FARMERS
President Taft's Flan of Co-operative Credit Societies.
A Promising; Start.
New Tork World.
President Taft's letter to the governor
of states on improved credit facilities foi
farmers Is highly promising that at last
the states and the nation may give to
this subject the attention It deserves. It
is no light matter that the farmers ot
the United States have to pay an average
of S per cent for the $6,040,000,000 of
borrowed capital they use. It is a serious
handicap against European farmers, who
pay 46 per cent and less. It is a serious
drawback to our farming Industry a
against other -American Industry, whose
rate of capital charge averages much
less.
Ftrat-CIa Security.

tutes first clara security of the kind class
ified as slow moving asset. The farmer
hould not be obliged to pay high interest
rates on money for which he gives good
security and which he need for the de
velopment of hi business. It Is the duty
of the government to promote the estab
lishment of sound money loaning instltu.
tions that will remedy this situation.
As President Taft points out, cheaper
loans for the farmer ought to have an in-
iiuence in reaucing the cost of living to Hoccessfnl In Germany.

Des Moines Capital.
For more than fifty years Germany has
had a way of loaning money to farmers
for a long term of years at a low rate
of Interest The scheme was originated
to enable young men to buy and own
farms. It was also for the purpose of
stopping the removal of young men from
Germany to America. The loaning com
pany Is co-operative and mutual. The
loan la not placed on a single farm. The
farmer are grouped and the loan s
made on the plan of a bond, pot unlike
the Iowa drainage bond. The interest is
low. The expense of operating the banks
Is low and the business is profitable.
The well-to-do farmers become stock
holders In the enterprise themselves.
The advantage of the whole scheme is
that the farmers can have money then
can depend upon.
A Timely Stimulus.
Baltimore American.
The proposal of the president points to
the fact that th area of diminishing
returns in agriculture upon the wide
plane of the nation has been reached,
and that, the requirements for Intensive
cultivation Involve the application of
money upon the American farms at less
cost 'than It has been obtainable. The
direct bearing upon this to the lowering
of the cost of living is obvious. The con
sumer would be the one benefited by the
proposal of the president put In opera
tion. This plan looks to the co-operative
action of the farmers themselves In so
cieties to obtain personal credit and to
create a sound security In land mort-
has arisen In favor ot some such system
of cheap and easy credit for farmers in
the United States. The president's argu
ment, In hi Invitation to the governors,
that our food costs more than it need
to because the fanners have not adequate
credit and power to, raise loans at a low
rate of interest, seems entirely sound. It
la true that the general rate of Interest
for all enterprise Is higher In Amerioa
than In Europe, and the hope that by any
new system of credit the. average Inter
est rate for American fanners could be
reduced V the level In France or Ger
many would probably be disappointed.
But it seems certain that the average
rate of 8H per cent paid by the farmers
In this country Is needlessly high.

CANALS AND BIG SHIPS
Panama's Capacity Far Ahead of Present Tonnage.
y , New York Tribune.
Th announcement of the deepening of
the Suez canal la Interesting a an in
dlcation. not so much ot rivalry with
the Panama canal though that consid
eration may enter Into Ita of recogni
tion ot the Increasing size of ships. Th
canal, which is now thirty-three feet
deep. Is to be deepened at qnc to thirty
six. This will not be a serious task, a
there are no locks to enlarge and no
rocks to deal with, but merely sand and
mud to scoop or pump out with marine
dredges. Of course, the cost will cause
no embarrassment, as the company al
ready , has profit larger than It knows
what to do with.
The Sues canal was Wlglnaily made In
1SC9, only a fraction more than twenty
six feet deep. At that time there was
not a mercantile vessel In the world ex
cepting only the unfortunate Great East
ern, of more-than 5,000 tons; the White
Star liner Britannic, in 1871, being the
first to exceed those dimensions; and It
was not until 1835 that planB were made
for deepening the canal to about twenty
eight feet But that time the Umbri and
Btrurla had been built, but still no ship
had reached the stse ot 10,000 tons, the
first to pass that figure being; the Amer
ican City of Paris, In 1883. And, of course,
the vessels which traversed the canal
were smaller than these crack Atlantis
liners. ,
But If the growth of ships was slow
In those years It has latterly become
brealihlcssly rapid. Th maximum wa
1,000 In 1871 and 10,000 In 1838. In 1901 the
Celtlo passed 90,000, In 1907 the Lusltanla
exceeded 31,000. In 1 1910 appeared the j
Olymplo of ,000, and In 1911 th Ham
burg line began the Impsrator of jO.OOO
tons. Today there are more than a
dozen vessels In actual service of more
than 10,000 tons each In the world's mer
cantile fleets, besides a larger number
In the military navies, "and he would be
rash who should predict any reaction
toward smaller vessels, or even a cessa
tion of the progress toward still larger
ships.
The Panama canal would be much
more difficult to enlarge than that at
Sues, and it Is wisely being made of
greater dimensions at the outset. In
deed, we may suppose that Us Initial
dimensions are expected to serve for all
time. It will have a minimum depth of
forty-one feet, as aBaint thirty-six of
the deepened Sues canal. Moreover it
looks, which are the measure Of capacity
of the canal, are to be each 110 feet
wide and 1,000 feet wide. The W,000-ton
Imperator will be about ninety-five feet
Wide and 881 feet long, so that It will be
able to navigate the canal with ease and
safety. .We may therefore- look with com
placency upon the continued construc
tion of i large ships, confident that the
Panama canal will be'able to accommo
date all that seek passage ' there for
many years to come, If not for all time;
for we may reasonably doubt whether
ships of the size of the present two or
three Atlantio leviathans are over sent
over the Isthmian route, while the canal
will be able to receive and pass not only
the largest now afloat but vessels of
perhaps one-third If not one-half greater
tonnage.

th two orator; compare the two ora
tions; compare the effect each on had
upon, the people. All being over at Oso
watomle, there came an echoing sound,
as by maglo among the people, give to
the president what belongs to the presi
dent and give to the people what belongs
to the people. And from there on, in all
hi Journey he oould not travel away from
that thought And when Roosevelt came
home he publicly declared there Is noth
ing new In the new nationalism. At the
New York state convention at Saratoga
Roosevelt took bis big stick and knocked
hi new creature In the bead, so It fell
flat to the ground.
After the Gettysburg address bad been
so ably, timely and prophetically deliv
ered. In so eloquent and inspiring a way;
Lincoln never detracted one word from
what he said there; he never apologised
for a single utterance he made there; he I
never said there la nothing new in It It
la af to say th majority ot the Ameri
can people can be trusted to eventually
discern a statesman from a politician, to
the lasting good and glory of our nation.

New Tork World: Census reports show
that despite the fact that there are more
