THE FARMER AND Poi frtca

lAn extract from Farmers Union Gulde's Fourth of July oration)
 IS this a peoples government?
 Whose fault is it, then. that the poo- pie do not get what is coming to them?
 It is the fault of the people them. selves.
 Ihey have never yet organized and drilled as soldiers Gin other words. educated themsedlves) to a point where they can confidently take hold or their government and run it.
 They stay at home on election day and let the other fellows carry their points, and then they say there was fraud, and they have had no show.
 They are content to labor and fail to read papers devoted to their own interests, and when the time comes to vote the destiny of their country they are not prepared for the respon. slbility and are at the mercy of the demagogues and looters and the street corner and cross roads politicians.
 Failing to read and understand ques- tons for themselves, they forget to pay their poll taxes, or if they pay them. they don't know when they are voting the moose around their necks and will put it in for the old party just because that's the way they've been doing.
 Many of them will stay away from their local meetings and not even join and lend the influence to the Union because the corporations, the bankers. the spectators and their henchmen point to the alliance and say keep out of politics lest we bury you in the same grave. The FARMER never says keep out of politics-its the town folks that are FOREVER AND ETER- NALLY AFRAID THAT THE FARM FER WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
 Boys, you must go into politics.
 You who live in the LAND of the FREE and the HOME of the BRAVE!
 An! ye sons and daughters of Co., lumbia!
 Are you doing your own reading or are you you content to produce and build for others as you have been doing and let them do your reading and inform you how you should voter
 Read and think carefully.
 In the first place, who is it that wants you to say out of politics; and in the second place, WHY does he want YOU to stay out? Is it because HE wants to stay IN?

Those who joined the Farmers Un' ion under the delusion that it could in some mystical way make amends for their inborn laziness have already seen the barren fields of disappolnt- ment. The Union never contemplated helping those who never help them selves. The ancient peoples taught that even the gods helped only those who helped themselves. The Union wants to bring to the farmer the bene' fit of cooperative action, so that ne will get the fullest benefit Of his la hor. That Is a sufficient motive 1lI this great order.

Many years ago a days work was sixteen hours. The manufacturers claimed that reduction of working hours would ruin them. The numoer of hours were reduced successfully from sixteen down to ten, now some have gone to only eight. At each re- duc-ofr the employer said 1t Wouiu ] ruin him, but in each reduction 1t was found to be an improvement II II benefits these occupations. why WouIu It not benefit the farmer to shorten the hourso Many now work sixteen oours a day.-Jacksboro News

Remember that the only wealth of the South, comparatively speaking. is that of the farm or the results of successful farming The bulk of the fortunes made in the West have come l from land speculation. This is ultl' mately at the expense of the farmer, who has to pay the high price of the land, and must work the harder and the closer to make a living on account of the high price of the land.

Collieries Under the Sea.

At Cape Breton there are immense colleries being worked under the ocean. These submarine mines cover a thousand acres, and are being in- creased steadily. The mines are en- tered at the shore, and the operators follow the vein beneath the water for more than mile. It might be ex- pected that the weight of the water would force it's way into the mine. The bed of the ocean is as tight as 8 cement cistern. A sort of fireclay lines the submarine roof Qf the mine, and the sediment above is held in place and packed down by the water pressure until there is not a crevice nor a drop of water from overhead.

These are piping times of peace now, and it would be good thing for you to get in a shape so that "noth- ing will hurt you," if one Of those ever recurrent hard times should set in. While it is easy to make the money to pay for it, keep the boys and the girls in the school. Maybe it will not be so easy little later on to do this.

The number of members in your Union does not cut so much figure in the final accounting as does the quality of men who make up the mus ter roll. At the top of this country s big enterprises are only a few men. There are not so many top-notchers, Get the right sort of people, then the rest is easy.

If the cotton growers are in dead earnest about the matter Of helping the cotton industry, they will wrap the bales in cotton. This would con sume the difference between too much cotton and not quite enough, ana would cut out the low price of sur eplus crop. This would happen Tn fyears of bumper crops, to say noun ing of the good it would do during years of short crops.
The log cabin Democrat., 1907-07-11

Everybody in the South whose busi- ness success depends in any way on cotton ought to wear cotton clothing in warm weather. Suppose every per son in the cotton growing States who is this hot day wrapped in hot wool should go to a dry goods store tomor- row and call for cotton goods, think of the effect! How quickly the mills would hear of it! How nervous they would get immediately about more raw cotton, regardless of the price! The editor of this paper swore off two years ago from wearing any article of clothing in hot weather not made of cotton.-The Farmers Journal

The way that the Union is growing in Arkansas is one of the wonders of the order. Arkansas farmers are coming into their own" in way that is most gratifying.

You are not built right If you have failed to prepare for the cattle to get into the shade when they want to. In many pastures there is no shade at all. This is not right; in fact, it is the height of cruelty.

FARMERS" that is the class: EDUCATIONAL, that is the object: COOPERATION" that is the end. It is a plain proposition, and any one with an ounce of brains can under stand it. Farmers and those who farm are the people for whom the order was originated. With the prop CT education along the lines of hearty cooperation and how to do it Is plenty to do, and the cooperation would fol low as naturally as the night follows the day. Are you living up to this sort of an idea? If not, you should get right, and stay right.

Don't take yourself too seriously Is a good motto for those who think they are worked to death. As rule great workers never seem to be con. scious of the fact that they are at work at all. All of us too much mag nifty the work we do. and not the kind of work 1t is.

While good immigrants are always
 desirable, it is well to remember that there are many that are undesirable: It is well to remember, too, that immt- grafton for ths development of the material interests of the country only is never a good thing for the country in it's real welfare. There is some thing in life outside of the making of money and the opening of big plan tations and big factories. None or these things will go hence" with you.

 Face Commissioners.
 When the regular meeting of the board of fire commissioners is opened tonight Ladderman William S. Phelps, who was recently suspended by Chief Fancher for failure to report at a fire, will be put on trial. Much interest has been manifested In the case. Phelps, it will be remembered, applied a few months ago to be retired on pension claiming that he was unfit for further duty The department physicians who examined him reported that they could find nothing the matter with him phy- sically, and the petition was therefore turned down.
 Mr. Phelps friends have rallied to his support and they have got up a 1 petition to the commissioners asking that the former action be reconsidered. They say that because of his great weight Mr. Phelps was unable to get down the pole In time to catch the ap- paratus at the early morning fire to which he was supposed to respond. | MT, Phelps weighs over 200 pounds. He has been in the fire service twenty-six years He is connected with Hook and Ladder No. 2 which is on Howard ave- nue, and lives at $50 Columbus avenue.

Services Held There Very Much Enjoy- ed by All.
 The services of Easter day at the City Mission house were heartily enjoy ed by all in attendance. The beautiful display of Easter flowers and palms up on the platform of the auditorium was very satisfactory to all others, as we'll as to the children of the early morning Sunday school which meet the expense of providing them.
 In the afternoon the Easter service by the children of the Sunshine band was held under direction of Miss Iil- Han Avery. iRev. MT Mossman. the missionary pastor, made an address to the children and Easter cards were dis tributed to all present, with special gifts to those who had been the most regular in attendance. In the evening the exercises included excellent Easter selections by several of the pupils of Louis Sajous, who was the accompanist for Mrs. H. Cunning. Miss Leola Lucey and Miss Charlotte IIennessy, each of whom was heard in soprano so- los together with duet, q waited for the Lord" was very acceptably render- cd by Mrs. Cunning and Miss Lucey. Rev Mr. Mossman conducted the ser vices, reading the story of the resur- rection from the gospel of John. Pray CT was offered by F. E. Hartshorn, one of the directors of the Missionary as- sociation. The sermon by Rev. Dr. Milton E. Phillips was a very persua- sive presentation of the reasons for the perpetual observance of Easter day. not only in it's outward form but for it's influence upon the inner life.
