ANNUAUHEETING OF
| AMERICAN PLOWMEN
[
National Farmers' Union Renders
Unselfish Service to
Agriculture.
jiBy
Peter Radford.
The National Farmers' Union will
hold annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
Hill round out the eleventh year of ,
Its activities in the interest of the j
American plowman. When that convention
is called to order every farmer
in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gathered
there to render a nat.riotio. nnd
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
of Texas, has grown until geographically
it covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. It has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diversification, scientific production,
agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and co-operation in season and out.
The Farmers' Educational and Co- j
operative Union of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization !
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from !
government than any other class of I
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less constructive
legislation than any other class
of people. The farmers can only ac
quire sucn lntiuence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organization
and every farmer on American
soil vrho desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

i POLITICAL GOSSIPS
J* When one class of people has anything
to say, it has become largely
^the custom to make a political issue
out of it instead of a friendly discussion,
to prinT it book instead
jof a newspaper and to a^gue it be*Tore
a jury instead pf to fettle it Iri
IJJ^Thlgher Courts sL&amji &B8g.
| As a ttault, ifaHUCal u^lJatqraT, pout-,
'ics^l lawyers, political preachers and i
masculin^ are pow?Fful ift1
politics and diS^ftsioR, BeMteling&ft, tnfv'
^tolgnance and hysterics r^lf rhmpant
in public affairs, for, ^Irien the low,
^fiinp, murky a^rflosphere of misunderstanding
fefivelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand- j
1 ?in
uig win cnoKe to death.
We have too many self-appointed
Interpreters of industry who are incapable
of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. Xo business
can stand upon error and might
rules?right or wrong. Xo industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding, ]
for public opinion is more powerful
than a King's sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
Into the hands of the weak, for demagogues
thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman?the political gossip?and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table of industry and talking
it over with the people. Interchange
of information between industries
and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
In commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public understands.

Philip, the Macedonian king, while
drowsy with wine was trying a case
and the prisoner after sentence was
pronounced, exclaimed, "I appeal."
"And to whom do you appeal?" inquired
the astonished monarch. "I
appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
sober," replied the prisoner, and the
king granted the request and at a rehearing
gave the prisoner his liberty.
The people drowsy with the wine of
4lacord ofttimes pronounce a verdict
public questions which they reverse
In their ^nore calm and deliberate momenti.
The next best thing to maketog
no mistakes is to correct tbem.
INSPIRATION f)F
THECOUNTY FAIR
By Peter Radford.
When you enter the agricultural department
of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power?that is the inspiration
of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene?that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil?
that is opportunity knocking at vour
door. It is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweeten
your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are lit for
the gods, and as an article of commerce
they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market i.u the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertainment,
their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes models
for growth of character and their
marvelous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the wonderful
process of nature.
l'efore leaving the parlor of agriculture
where nature is pirading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfection,
let us pause and take a retrospective
view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful products
are raised, they can seldom be
mnrkotofl !lf Q ' Tnl-n tl.rt l.li.r.1.
tt.M. ?vvvu u I'i Ui;i. . 1 aivc U1C UlUOll"
ing Elberta, for example?they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion?the nation's favorite
vegetable?every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?nature's
capitalist?often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
It is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
"Dixie" and boas^ of the marvelous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits U a county fair.
UNIVERSAL PEACE
This nation is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to promote
universal peace. That question
we will reave for diplomats to discuss,
but peace Tyithin nations Js nd
less important than peaco between
nations and it is Ji^avilv laden \vTtli
prosperity for fiypry citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many ieading politj$ians and ofttimes
pdljtjCjU giatfpfrnffi 'bare declared war
upSfc ^isincsa 6h3 no cabinet crisis
bvei; resulted. Many m$n TiaVe stood
Tn high places 'a&5 hurled 4>gafc b0ius'
at industry; thrtfst bayohttS Into b^g.
iness enterprises afnl bombarded agriculture
with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken diplomatic
relations with industry; sent
nnllHool ? A1 ?A 1
t/uowvai nviuiui!) ?ijyuig wiruugn ine
affairs of business, and political submarines
have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. During
the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with progress,
permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise!
No man should be permitted' to cry
out for universal peace until- his record
has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Universal
Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.
6RASPING AT THE SHADOW
No man?especially if he is married?would
deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
lnr>n fn. V. ~
uiig lUi lilU UU1IUI !
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more important
to the home than the election
of a mayor; is not the employment of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the important
things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
He it said to the credit of womanhood
that it is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say ,eNow 1 lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. It
is, as a rule, the woman who despises
her ho^e, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows

Eitel Friedrich in the South Atlantic
last January was a violation of American
rights under the Prussian-American
treaty or international law. In
reply to the last American representations
the German foreign office, in
a note made public, reiterates a previous
justification of Germany's
course, reiterates her willingness to
pay for the ship and accepts a proposal,
first advanced by the United States,
that the amount of damages be
fixed by two experts, one to he select- i >
ed by each country. Such a sum the f
German government pledges itself to {
pay promptly, with the stipulation,
however, that the payment shall not
be viewed as a satisfaction for violation
of American rights. Should that

vites the United States .to arbitration
at The Hague. The unofficial view
here is that reparation by a commission
of experts probably will be satisfactory
to the United States, with the
express provision, however, that it is
not a waiver of treaty rights for
which the United States contends, but
applies to the matter ofMamages.
It is virtually certain that if the
United States allows the dispute to go
to The Hague for interpretation of the
treaty provision, or continues the academic
discussion of principles through
the channel of diplomacy, it will insist
that, meanwhile, Germany refrairr
from violation of what the United
States contends are its rights.

THE YOUNG GRADUATE.

This is the season of the young hope
ful who believes he has learned how
to shoot. Armed with his sheepskin,
he starts forth to conquer. He never
thinks, as a rule, that a sheepskin is
too pliable a lever with which to turn! .y
the world from its course. However,
that is well, for the suburb confidence

until the normal amount is left with
which to fight his battle for success.
The Japanese have some good advice
for the young graduate. They say:
Keep your mouth closed; he who al- ^
ways has his mouth open shows that
his mind is blank. Think of that at
which you are looking; one whose eye
is always wandering tells that his
mind also is wondering. When paying
your respects, look at the person
whom you are saluting. A boy should
act like a boy; avoid becoming effiminate.
When it is hot, think it is cold;
when it is cold, think it is hot. It is a
shame to wear torn clothes without \
mending them, but to wear the torn

of. Know what shame is; he who
does not know what shame is is inferior
to dumb animals. When in*
good health, train yourself to endure
physical labor; when you are ill, how- t
ever, obey your physicians instructions.
Become a man useful to your
country; whoever cannot be so is bet- .
tor dead. To these admonitions of' ,
the Japanese, we add: Do not be *
c shamed of your father and mother,
even if they are uneducated; remember
you helped to put the callouses on

mother's back.
