POLITICAL II
AGITATO^
POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALin
STRIFE A MIEN ACS TO
GOVERNMENT. I
Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities a National Crime. ?
By Polar Radford. ]
There never was a time In the hi h"
tory of this nation when we needed
statesmen more or agitators less tha i
at the present moment. The oypoi ^
tunlties now afforded us on land an I
sea demand the best there la in stab craft
and the possibilities that are confronting
us call for national Issues^
that unite the people, build industry
and expand trade. The agricultural*
and industrial development of this
nation has suffered severely at the
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent & shiver
down the spinal column of industry:
Too long have the political agitators
capitalised strife, pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An industrial
corpse Is not a desirable thing,
a crippled business an achievement or1
neglect an accomplishment about'
which any representative of the government
has a right to boast.
Issues that Bread Agitators fthdtiid be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be eliminated
from public life beforb thoughtful
consideration can be given to a
constructive program In government.
The liquor question is the most prolific
breeding ground for agitators and'
whether pro or antl, the hatch is
equally as undesirable. This article
Is In no sense a discussion of the liquor
question but deals solely and by
way of illustration with the political
products of that Issue. Other subjects
wHl be dealt with in the order
vMV?i
In the history of our government
the liquor issue has never produced
1 constructive statesman wottii mentioning
end It never will, It has sent
tnote freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to the Senate and lnoompetehte- to
office than, any other political Issue
under the sun. . - J
The reeegt- erpoilimue^st
llsh Parliament which lashed itself
Into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that it la well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject In some form or other is
constantly before the publlo for solution
and ofttlmeft to the exclusion off
more Important problems to the Amerv
lean plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
Lloyd-George, the Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition fight
in England, has declared that he will
never again take a drink politically
and there are maqy American politicians?pro
and anti?who would render
their country a service by climbing
on tho water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned Into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members become Intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many political
drunkards?pro and antl?In our
publlo affairs. No one who Is a slave
to the political liquor habit Is quite
so capable of dealing with the buai
dhi amirs or government as the
sober and industrious. We have few
publio men in this day. who are strong
enough to resist the temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Rum once becomes firmly entrenched
in the mind of a politician,
he is less capable of meeting the de*
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have in this country too many
red-nosed politicians?both pro and
antl. A candidate with political dell^
rium tremens, a preacher with politB
cal snakes in bis boots and an agitata
drunk on the liquor question are tlfl
saddest sights in civilization and th^|
should all be forced to take the polite
leal Keeley Cure.
It is far more important in government
to make it easier for those who
toll to eat than to make it more difficult
for a few topers to drink. There1
is not one person in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat three times a
day.
THE LAYMAN'S DUTY
There never wee e time when
preacher* end politicians formed aa
unholy alliance that clvilleetlqp did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of government
, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry Into ths meshes of
politics end make them carry banners
in political processions. They tu^Tf
taken the ministry to ths mountalhtop
of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said. "Get
thee behind me Satan," a few bSve
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit In Christendom,

t 1 / _
By Potarx Radford.
Thla nation Is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented demands
for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities on
land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
la aeldom Been in foreign ports. If I
our government would only divert the I
ennrrv WA hove riianlntfAff In onnnnop. H
lng the railroads to mastering the I
commerce of the sea, a foreign bottom
would be unknown on the ocean's
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the products
of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 51 ports, of which
41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,(MM)
for ltnproving our Rivers and
tlarbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50,000,000
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this nation
and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
ut the unnecessary link In the chain
Of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement Is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
Its benefits as that of a free port
| and none can be more easily and efj
fectlvely secured.
THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
By Peter Radford.
^ fhare is uo escaping the market
aira Liih'ri'Cn??HT n???ln*moni I
^agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is aa necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
I Governmental and educational instir
tutlons have spent $180,000,000 In the
' United States during the past ten
. years for improving soil production i
and Improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem Is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
.until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantio organization where master (
minds can concentrate the combined .
experience and wisdom of the age ,
upon It. It Is a problem which the 1
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors ,
and statesmen must unite In solving. '
The Farmers' Union stands for all
there is In farming from the most i
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not beUeve
in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
(of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and commercial
agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, byt we believe that their
' influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
f We cannot hnno to dowoinn
jfacturlng by over-production of the
{factory; we cannot build up mercantile
enterprises by the merchants loadling
their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agriculture
by glutting the market with a
Surplus of products.
DARIU9
The neigh of a horse made Darius
Ring of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
noma do revived witn profit today.
[( our partisan factions and petty politicians
could only settle tbelr disputes
by tbe nelgb of a horse, the
bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey,
It would be a great blessing and would
giTS our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of Industry j
tree from political strife.
I Let those who pick political plums f;
