There is nothing truer than that a man is the architect of his oym reputation for truth and veracity. As with men so with organizations. If political organizations 'are to command the confidence of the people, their claims must be sustained by facts.
In times of reform many new ideas are sure to be suggested. New things are in fact the reformation. However, bad things should not be accepted even though they are new. The test in all reformers is to be able to distinguish between the good and the bad ideas.
The Democratic platform broke down at Indianapolis at the notification ceremonies this week. It was too weak to hold the people. So we think the party's campaign platform is too weak to do for the people what they want done. It will probably not break down during the campaign, because it will not be thoroughly tested, but when tested it will give way, and there will be more persons injured than there were at Indianapolis. But the worst thing about it will be that the people will have to exist and suffer the consequences for four long years.
The person or politician who does not think these are unusual times in the political-world "has another think coming." The future in politics, as well as other phases of life, can safely be judged by the past in ordinary times. In fact, that is the only basis on which the future can be predicated, but the present political conditions are so different from the past isthat little insight into the future "can be obtained. We are convinced that the future of American politics has something radically new, and no man is so wise as to 'p$-' te able to foretell exactly what it "will be. One thing is safe, however,
and
that is this: Let all citizens, no
-nJ,matter what their differences are stand by the fundamental princi- •, ^ples of the government fahich have ^served so well for more than gsf:century. ^^^4^a=ss=9s=s==-====saes
Co-Operative Credit System. Washington, August 22. —Minis ter Larz Anderson has completed the investigation of the co-opera tjive credit systems ojf Belgium which he undertook in connection with President Taft's attempt to establish co-operative credit in this country for the benefit, of

By law, in 1884, the General Savings Bank was authorized to make loans to farmers and to societies of farmers. As a guaranty for these loans small corporate bodies were formed, known as "comptoirs agricoles," which guaranteed the loans to the General Savings Bank and for this service received a small commission. As the plan worked out, these guarantors found it both more profitable and saifer to act as sureties for the larger landowners. The smaller farmers could not offer as good security and the commission paid to the "comptoirs agricoles" on such a loan as was required by a smaller farmer did not make the ga,me worth the candle. Consequently, in the first twenty-five years after this form of loan had been author-
later adopted in Belgium and has was to be loaned to the rural banks largely supplanted the plan adopt- at the set rate of 3% per cent. In ed by the Belgian Government, at least so far as the smaller landowners are concerned.

ized by law, only about fifteen "comptoirs agricoles" were formed in all Belgium. Of the three thousand and odd loans guaranteed by these "comptoirs agricoles" at the end of 1909, only a fraction on a hundred were for amounts less than $250, which shows that the small farmers received little real benefit from this scheme.
Realizing this, the Abbe Mellaerts set about to adapt the Raiffeisen system to Belgian conditions. He established his first rural co-op-erative bank in 1892. By 1910 six hundred and forty-three of these banks had been established. This shows the immense growth of the co-operative-credit idea in Belgium. Except that by law these co-operative banks or societies in Belgium are required to raise a foundation capital to start with, and are not allowed to hold their reserve funds as indivisible, there is little difference between the Belgian societies and the Raiffeisen banks of Germany. The societies in Belgium, as in Germany, are served by central co-operative banks. In Belgium these central (banks supervise the management and audit the books of the rural co-operative banks. They also guarantee loans made to the rural banks by the General Savings Bank. In 1894 a law was passed'setting aside 1,000,000 francs

order to enjoy the benefit of this law a rural bank has to become a member in a central co-operative bank and has to have the central banks' guaranty for the loan. The central bank receives a commission of one-twelfth of 1 per cent of the interest charged as payment for this surety. These central co-op-erative banks are formed among the rural banks, each rural bank subscribing for a share of stock valued at $25 and assuming liability for the central banks' indebtedness to the sum of $250. The rural bank receives a set dividend of 3 per cent, on its stock in the central bank.
Complete statistics of business done by the co-operative societies of Belgium are not obtainable, but the total loans—made in a year amount to about a million dollars, and they carry deposits totaling probably two millions, which, in a
