The Farmers, Danger.

The Announcement is made that "Ju- lio Aybar, organizer of the Federation of Labor in Porto Rico. has reported to headquarters in Washington as fol- lows: Organization Is gradually gain ing ground, although the progress is slow. During the month the following unions have organized: Two unions Of carpenters. two of bakers. woman's label league and three unions of agri- cultural laborers. Have under way three agricultural workers unions and central labor union of Yauco.
 Information shows that in various parts of the United States the work of organizing farm laborers' unions Is be- ing actively carried on by the agent of MT Gompers. The Square Deal has heretofore warned the farmers of the country that this movement, which is intended to subject them to the same hardships that have been suffered by manufacturing concerns and other branches of business, has been entered upon with serious and deliberate pur- pose.
 and the country as well, when the sow ing and cultivating and garnering the crops shall be liable 10 interruption rule of labor unions Is to strike at what is called the psychological moments meaning thereby the moment when the business of the employer Is in such shape that he must yield to the de- mands of the strikers or suffer serious loss and perhaps the ruin if his busi- ness. The psychological moment" for a farm laborers' strike would never come in the middle of the winter, when farming operations are at a standstll, be assured of that. It would come when the whole value Of the crops. the entire result of the expenditure and labor of the year would depend upon prompt, quick and uninterrupted action. At such a time the alternative would be presented to the rarmer to suffer the total loss of his wheat, or his hay, or what not, or to grant an exorbitant and unjust demand from the union. with an lron-clad agreement that, no matter how serious and pressing his need of more help might be. the farm CT would not employ any man Tho was not member of the union, under pen alty of having his force leave his em- ploy with his grain loft to rot in the field
 in It's power to be more tyrannical and harmful than any other union; would have It's victims, the farmers, more en- tirely at its mercy.
 There is no good reason why such a union should be organized--it is not needed-the farm laborers are suffering from no injustice or hardship. The farmers should look to 1t that the dan gerous movement is nipped In the bud.

 I feel like you consider this letter an infiction, but I can't resist the temp tatiop of exposure to the supposition of weak mindedness. to tell you that I don't consider MT Keifer's attempt to have the Constitution respected as in the interest of the negroes think it is in the interest of white men, and want the medicine administered in Alabama.
 I'm almost inclined to believe that the very absence of statutes fayorable to the farmer is attributable to the dom mating negro element of our law negro contempt of the ''poor Buckra."

 I subscribe to the doctrine that this is a white mans government and, somehow, I want to have no more rights in it than any other white man but, caIn: you explain to me--from the standpoint of Intelligence, of course why your county with 5000 white men should only have four Representatives while mine, with 5000 has as many as one?

 Am I right about that?
 If so, Keller Is working along the line that white men ought to work everywhere.
 The unconscious Iaw-making of the negro is never intended for the negro 8 good. The negro is 8 poor man and all legislation unfriendly to the negro somehow includes the poor white man in its ample fold.

THE STATE FAIR.

The approval which has met the movement for an Alabama State Fair is in the highest degree gratifying, and no less so than the encouragement which has come to the public spirited Montgomerians who have undertaken the enterprise. The movement, how ever, is we'll deserving of all this.
 It is not a priv1te enterprise. It is not a Montgomery enterprise-except that the people of Montgomery have undertaken the task that such an en- terprise entails. It is to be an Ala bama fair, a State fair in fact as well a. In name. It is to represent the in- dustries and interests of no one sec ton. It Is to magnify no one section of Alabama. The fair will have State wide scope.
 Neither vii mining, nor agriculture, nor Numbering, nor commerce, be em- phasized to the interest of one and min imized to the interests of another. But each in its proper part will have its due award. A fair with scope wide enough to exploit any interest of Ala bam7 and pay due respect to every section of the State-such will be the Montgomery State Fair.
 Montgomery, of all Alabama cities, as the logical place for the holding of & State Fair. Her commercial life touches every industry of the State. miAing as well as agriculture. manu- featuring as well as numbering, stock raising as well as horticulture. With her splendid location, with her unri- vailed railroad and river connections, with the width of her commercial de- velopments, the city's business life has a wider scope than that of any other Alabama city.
 It is meet and proper, therefore, that the city of Montgomery should be the theater for the display of representa- tive evidences of Alabama's wonderful development in the past ten years That these evidences shall be adequate that they shall be properly displayed so that the truth of Alabama's advance may not be missed--such is the aim and purpose of those who are engaged in the movement and who in doing 1t are engaged in building for Alabama's ad- vantage.
 It is not a money making enterprise. The Association has fixed it's purpose as being an aid to the further advance ment of Alabama and it is to be a per nlanent institution.
 It is we'll worthy of the support of all Alabamians who are interested In the welfare of the State and it is es- pecially worthy of the loyal support of the citizens of Montgomery.

As The Indian Journal figures 1t out, the Republicans of Tulsa, I. T.. are be- tween the two horns of very embar- rassing dilemma. The negroes are pretty numerous in that town and they demand the right to join the Repub- Iican clubs and have a place on the tickets. To this the whites object and tell them to form clubs of their own and flock by themselves. This has started a row among the negroes and The Journal says they will be harder to handle than ever. The Journal adds; If they are refused a place on the ticket which they demand the Repub- licans lose. If they get 1t the anti negro sentiment is so strong that the ticket couldn't carry" This looks al if it makes little difference whether the Republicans take or leave the ne gro, for either way his personality will defeat them. All of which is as il should be.
