WORK OF FARMERS UNION A rIember of the Union Writes of the Objects and Purposes
 of the Organization.
To The Newark Journal.

The question today is shall we have competition or snail we have dangerous and destructive cooper alton in the form of trusts in the hands of the selfish few, or one combination of all for the good of all. United we stand, divided we will fall, , holds good on the economic or industrial field as else where. Is truth and justice more dangerous than strife and fraud
 Take no thought for the morrow; lay up no treasures on earth. How hard or impossible under present conditions; but under the rules and regulations of the Farm CTS Union these preceps could be literally observed.
 \ Gospel sermon, according to Christ, Is a message of righteous ness, helpfulness, and love. He told us we must show our love of God by our love of man, and that We must treat each other as we wish God to treat us, as our con- .dition after death depends on the way we treated our fellow man in life. His message through the Gospel is this: Let us love, not in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth
 The Farmers Union starts with brotherhood and the unity of the human race, and comes not as 8 remedy for the existing evil of so- sciety, but as code Of principles for a new society. 1t means that every human being is to be well housed. clothed, fed and educated. It means that every one is to re ceive full value for his or her la- bor. It means to change labor from curse to blessing, and the lot of the laborer from poverty and hardship to fullness, freedom and gladness of life. Moreover, Jesus teaches us to pray Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as 1t is in heaven. Are the poor always to be with us even in heaven! If not why should the poor always be with us here on earth, if His will is done on earth as 1t is in heaven. Has Satan been misquoting Scriptures and misrep- resenting Jesus to you from the false pulpit all these years. It is under private capitalism, which, like Judas, betrays the Christ and his bretheren, that we always have the poor with us, because the poor always and everywhere makes the wealth of millions; the profits of the few making miIlionaires by the hundreds and paupers by the thousands.
 The poor cannot find their free dom in free field and fair fight, for they are not free so long as compelled to fight for anything.
 The individual is free only when he is liberated from fighting, that he may live for the common good in company with his brothers.
 But did not Jesus say "le have the poor always with you" is d question frequently raised by blind victims of capitalism. Let us see who first raised this question and to whom Jesus made that state- ment. When Mary, the sister of Martha, annointed the feet of Je- sus at her home in Bethany, 1t was Judas Iscariot, who was to betray Him, who said, Why was not this ointment sold for three hun dred pence and given to the poor.' Not that he cared for the poor. but

The HiPpodrome
By Carolyn Wells

once there was a man who went to
" the Hippodrorne. And when he got
there and saw ali its marvels, he said
"It can't be rea1-I must be hippo
dreaming" But he liked it so much
that he said: rs this hippodream?
Then let me dream again"
So the next night he hipPodrome
again, and this time he hippodreamed
that he liked it better than ever. And
he got the habit, and as he entered the
lobby he always hunmed softly: Il
hippodrome | dwe1t in marble halls" At
last he began to wonder what might
be the derivation of the word hippo
drome," and as he was long on scholarly
lore, he knew that hippo was Greek for
horse. So he realized that the whole
thing was horse dream, otherwise
translated nightmare.

TOO HIGHLY THOUGHT OF

ONE of the faculty of a university in New
~ Jersey tells of a professor there who never
lost an opportunity to rebuke any bumptious-
ness on part of the students. On one occa-
sion, when the professor was taking leave
of a certain graduate, he is reported to have
said:
Sir, your fellow-students think highly of
you; l think highly of you; but, sir, no one
thinks more highly of you than you do your
self"

WHERE THE TAXES GO.

The people of Mississippi are spend
ing more money for their common
schools and higher institutions Of
learning than probably any state in
the South, but the people of the state
will be surprised to learn that nearly
every cent of money that they pay
into the state treasury in the shape
of direct taxes goes for schools and
colleges, and to pay the expenses of
the benevolent institutions and pen
sions for old soldiers. The state has
a good many sources of revenue other
than the collection of taxes from the
people of the state on their real and
personal property. The penitentiary
pays into the state treasury net after
paying all it's expenses and keeping up
improvements, $50, 1913 co. The in
surance department pays into the
treasury department 500, 100000; the
sale of swamp lands through the land
commissioner office $53, 900 90; the
secretary of state 1922, 900 90, and the
state revenue agent $37, SAT 70.
This totals up to 1922, 951 IS. The
appropriations for the state officers
and all the expenses INCIDENT to run
ming the state government, outside of
the items mentioned above, foot up to
1868, 061 90, which gives balance of
$25, 800 70
This outside revenue not only pays
the expenses incident to running the
state government, but it pays the
salaries of all the judges and ohancel-
lors in the state, and still leaves a
balance of $50, 900 90 to apply on pen
sions. These figures have been OBJ
tanned from the officials themselves,
and are reliable. Of course, when
the legislature meets there is the ex-
pense of this body which must come
out of the taxes paid in, as it now
costs between $500 90 and 800. 900. 90

DOINGS OF THE COTTON CON
VENTION.
Editor Brandon News:

Editor Brandon News:
/ have just read the doings and
resolutions of the Cotton Growers
Convention, and my serenity aid
equilibrium is disturbed. - 1t all re-
minds me of an old time calamity
howlers'' convention that these same
promoters so Justify cried down only a
few years ago, 1t all has the smell
and flavor of political chicanery to
"bunch" and 'bonco'' the cotton
raiser. Of course the warehouse men
would love to help the poor cotton
raiser to house and care for his cotton
for revenue only The banker
is equally as generous and is waiting
with open armes of anxious expec-
fancy to help him Out, of the Dilemma
into which low priced cotton has put
him. Tt is SO kind indeed of them to
thus show their fatherly care of and
solicitude for US. I fear we shall
never be able to repay such generous
magnanimity Yes, it too may be
for revenue only" but, 'er. UNI! it
is sc nice to have a present help in
time of need That there are lots
of other things that we can and ought
to raise for a money crop besides cot
ton, no one will doubt if only they
Will take the pains to investigate. In
all the stores at Star are to be found
the following farm products: Irish
and sweet potatoes, cabbage, turnips
or rutabagas, peas, onions, peanuts,
apples, cane syrup, etc. ALI, or
nearly all of which, is raised some
where else. Besides this has been
the dumping ground for years past for
thousands of heads horses of all sorts
and varieties. They could and ought
to be raised here instead Of the west /.
Will it pay? Of course it will; but
not the man who goes out west after
them Why have we not done this
before if it would pay? Will grass
grow herefor colts, hogs and COWS to
feed on, and for hay No, I think
not, for saw two or three cars being
unloaded of hay that was cut and
baled some where else and every year
see folks toiling to keep the grass
from growing. 1t gives me that

tions for they have no other effect than
to cause most people to plant more
cotton than ever. They are not worth
the paper they are written on to the
cotton grower. The horse sense way
for Us is for each man to call q con-
vention Of himself, wife and children
right away and resolve to cut off un-
necessary expenses at home, then go
to raising some Of the things nsmad
above that are at present grown some
where else and shipped here.
AS to raising the price Of cotton,
these same calamity howlers' said
only decade ago that supply and
demand was the only thing on earth
that could regulate prices. If this is
true, and if what is said of the boil
weevil is true, why don't they turn
him loose and I am sure he will be
more effective in reducing the cotton
crop than all the resolutions that
could be passed from now until doc ms
day. And after the Lord our God
has blessed and prospered us in this
matter, and given us horses sense
enough to know our own masters
crib we will still remember 1.-THE
pit from whence we were digged, !"
and that every good gift comes from
above, even such small ones as self
reliance, manhood, independence,
patience, contentment etc.
Sell your cotton if you owe any one
and pay as much as you can. Go to
work with an mistaken confidence
that "seed time and harvest shall not
fail' Do your best and trust God
for the rest. E. p. HARPER.

In the first game Sioux City fought hard

Cadwallader. in the first game, had the

been for some stupid work the game might
have gone on much longer. In the tenth
inning three men stood and watched a
high fly drop in front OF the plate, and then
an error by O'Hara put on the finishing
touch.
In the second game the Omaha team
Jumped on CadwaIlader with both feet from
the beginning. Hall, for Omaha, was very
effective.
In the sixth inning Manager Carney put
in Leach, whose twisters let the Omahas
down with two hits In four innings. Leach
was wild, however. He passed three men
and hit Schipke in the ribs. This, with en-
error by Pulsifer and a single by Freese,
scored the only run made of his delivery.
