A SAFE

Did you ever stop and think what q
:heinous crime it would be for this gov
eminent to loan the peoples money on
land? or course O have, for the sub
sidized press all over this land have sent
forth a howl against it, claiming that
the loan could as reasonably be made on
factory and warehouse buildings in cit
les and on personal property all over the
land. Certainly the loans could be made
on the kinds of property mentioned, but
we all know the great risks from
fire, wind and water to these Sc
curities. With land security no
such risks are taken, and the gov
eminent will be absolutely safe in
issuing money and loaning to the peo-
pie on landed security, but the army of
usurers, bondholders, spectators and
stock gamblers who enrich themselves
on the labor of others do not wish to see
plenty of money in circulation. Interest
would be too low to suit them; times
would be prosperous, and the people too
well-to-do to become the prey of shy
locks. No, the great. venues through
which human (more properly inhuman)
vultures persuc their victims would be
mainly closed if the money could be
issued directly to the people, and like
vultures they scent the slaughter, but
fear twill be their own funeral.-ElWood

THE farmers organization has come to
stay. 1t has come to save the civiliZa-
ton of the nineteenth century. 1t has
come to improve the social and econo-
mic conditions, to educate the agricult-
uralist, teach him not only how to i'm
prove the quality and quantity of his
products, to obtain a just remuneration
for them, but it has come to teach the
sciencessof government. Taxeskayebeen
loaded onto the farmers until they have
become unbearable. What the farmers
want is simple Justice, which they will
nevcr secure without a struggle. This
great uprising is to secure it, not as a
class remedy, but simple justice for all.

4 distant Possibility,

There can be no doubt but that, If the
question of how United States senators
should be elected were submitted to the
people, an overwhelming majority would
decide in favor of election by popular
vote. But the matter unfortunately does
not rest with the people. A change in
the method Of selecting senators can only
be made by means of a constitutional
amendment, and in these times it is as
difficult to amend the federal constitu-
ton as it is for a camel to go through q
needles eye, or for a rich man to get
into the kingdom of heaven.
In the first place the amendment
would have to secure the endorsement
of two-thirds of the members of congress-.
Admitting that this majority could be
secured in the lower house is it probable
that the senatorial plutocrats would pass
q measure striking a fatal blow at the
system, which enables them to misrepre-
sent the people In the councils of the ma
ton? We are inclined to look Wit, q
doubling eye upon this possibility. Whe..
the QuayS and Drdlcys of politics arc
roasted in the heat of public indignation
it might come to pass, but not until then.
But even if the buyers of senatorial
seats should consent to the change, the
chattels which they pun chase would havo
to be consulted. The legislators have a
finger in the pie. Two-thirds of the
| state legislatures must decide by & ma
jority vote in favor of the reform, and
every ccrruptionist among them must
forego the biggest plum of all his pick
ing.
Are they likely to do il? Yes. when
all thieves become honest and all men,
now honest walk in the ways of the IN
righteous.
Some day. we hope, the senators will
be elected by a direct vote Of the people,
but before that day comes the Augcan
stables of state politics, will have to be
cleansed and purified of the corruption
which now make them smell to heaven.
