"sTAY OUT OF POLITICS."
(The Union News.)

| have heard the phrase "stay out of
politics" until 1 am sick at the craw.
The first thing that makes be sick
is that it usually comes from a class
that had rather see the Farmers
Union fail than make a success. 1t
is not because they love the farmer
that makes them give their advice.
They are afraid of the farmer in
politics and l don't blame them; il |
didn't belong to that class who till the
soil l suppose / would be hollering
keep out of politics."
The Farmers Union Is not going to
make the mistake that has been made
by other organizations along the po-
litical line.
We are not going to let few politi-
clans use us to boost themselves.
We are not going to put out men
for office. Why should we? Let him
who will run. We will look into his
record, If he shows up all o. x. we
will vote for him or against him if we
want to.
We are not going to let these howl
ers keep us from thinking for our
selves. We will study public quues-
tions, and while we do not expect to
right all the wrongs We do expect to
have our say.

SHALL WE CLAIM OUR OWN?
(Arkansas Union Tribune.)

(Arkansas Union Tribune.)
The south is composed of thirteen
states, and these are divided into 813
counties. In comparison to the rest
Of this mundane sphere it is as but
an atom to the Rocky Mountains.
On this comparatively small area
is produced one commodity upon which
the entire habitable civilized world
is dependent for supplies to keep
going the more than 100000, 900 spin
dies in which is invested untold mil
lions of money for the dividends it
pays, saying nothing Of the by-prod
ucts and the indispensable needs for
the comfort of the millions of indi-
viduals. Yet with this natural monop-
oily, of soil and climate, for the produc-
tion Of cotton, the southern farmer
has been the football for few finan-
cial pirates to annually be skinned and
fleeced out of his own by them.
Up to the organization of the Farm
ers' Union no one ever raised his
voice or lifted his hand to bring about
a change in the imperfect conditions
under which the farmer labored or the
foul means by which he was robbed.
But the Farmers Union has served
notice upon the heartless commercial
system that has pressed the crown of
thorns upon the brow Of labor" that
the southern farmer knows he occu-
pies vantage ground in this heretofore
uneven battle, and he is determined
to plant his guns on the parapet Of
the enemy and forever drive them
from their strongholds.
Organization and education are the
guns, and controlled marketing is the
ammunition, by which we will slay
the enemy. Then we will come into
our own.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-04-18

Cotton Manufacturers Association,
similar organization, will hold it's
eleventh annual convention in Phila-
delphia.
If America based it's prosperity in
cotton manufacturing on our exports
of these products, the two associations
named would have no occasion to con-
vene. In the past year the value of
cotton goods shipped from the United
States was less by $13,000,00O than
in 1905.
There is no occasion for alarm in
this, as America is unable at present
to supply the home demand for cotton
goods.
1t was announced recently by buy
ers in New York city representing
prominent retail houses throughout the
United States that they never before
encountered such difficulty in obtain
ing cotton goods supplies.
