NOT POLITICAL.

(Farmers Advocate, Topeka, Kan.)
The Topeka Capital is worried lest
the Farmers Union goes into politics. 1t
tries to make itself believe it scents
the coming Of another political storm.
Every member of the union knows that
the editor of the Capital is needless
ly losing sleep. President Roosevelt
has advised farmers to organize for
business purposes and they are doing
it. Tens of thousands of union men and
women can testify as to the financial
merits of their organization and they
are not going to be scared because
the editor of the Capital fears the far
mers may ask for their rights at the
hands of the law makers. No, Mr..
Capital, don't have any more night
mares about the real Farmers Union.
Not a man in it wants the order to be-
come political and furthermore the
laws of the order are so framed that
it is an easy matter to keep out Of pol
itics in case an effort was made to
divert the order from its objective
point.
Any organization that has to be or
ganized by the money of the specula-
tors and gamblers in farm products
can never be of any benefit to the
farmers The men who are now max
ing the prices on farm products will
never help the farmers change condi-
tions so as to benefit the farming class.
There should be but one organiza-
ton of farmers and when the farmers
find out how they have been hoodooed
by the bucket shop men there~will be
but one. Oil and water will not mix,
neither will bucket shop men and
farmers mix.

THE PROFITS ON WAREHOUSES;
TO THE FARMERRS' UNION.

w. A. Cole, the farmers union ware
house manager at Alma, sold another
lot of 1000 bales of union cotton from
the Alma warehouse at 1880, all
around. This is SIS per bale more than
the best price offered on the streets Of
Little Rock. Brother Cole also assist
ed in the sale at the same time Of 900
bales from the union warehouse at
Charleston, at the same price.
Thus union sale has been effected
by these brethren in western Arkan-
sas of 1900 bales of cotton on which
they saved, by holding in their ware
house, the sum. of $5 per bale over
what the cotton would have brought
them on street sale or $1,000 saved
to the union in the holding of this
1900 bales.
Brother Cole sold a block Of 600
bales from the Alma warehouse some
ninety days ago for which he got lie,
or an average of 81 per bale more
than could have been gotten on the
streets at that time for the same cot
ton, or a profit of $4,000 to the farm
ers on the 600 bales.
So we have this as an object lesson
for our people. This little warehouse
at Alma, we think, did not cost more
than $1,000, and then on these two
sales Brother Cole has netted for the
brethren a profit of $4,000, or enough
to pay for this little warehouse about
seven times.
Build warehouses;! Yes, build 'em.
They pay. We can't do without them.
Yet, fellows say, 81 oppose the ware
house system cause there's a monop-
oily about it." GiveUus more monopoly

the farm, having had an opportunity of
an education, he at an early age read
i1y saw the disadvantage of the rural
people and being desirous that the
farmers children should be enlight-
ened he began teaching school, nev-
er neglecting his farming interest.
1t has been my privilege to visit
the home Of his birth, also to talk
with many people who were his stu
dents, the high esteem of his fellow
playmates of those whom he has in
structed, also his entire acquaintance
places Charlie as an ideal leader.
The people of the Farmers Union
should ever be proud of this son who
has always been true and faithful
and who has given his life to the
betterment of the farming people.
Long live the memory and example
of the Georgia boy, who has risen to
such fame without one word spoken
against his character or his unswerv-
ing fidelity to the farmer.
State President r. F. Duckworth,
like Barrett, was also born on the
farm in Texas Having had an oppor-
tunity for an education he gladly ac-
cepted it. He became interested in the

education of the rural districts, never
neglecting his farming interest, this
opportunity, for serving the interest
of the farmer, brought before him the
true condition also the need of the
farmer.
When the Farmers Union was ex-
ceedingly young he joined, after study
ing the principles advocated, by our
noble order, he laid down all other
interests and threw his entire support
to furthering and defending the cause
of the farmer.
He came to Georgia and began the
work alone; not once has he faltered
or wearied in this fight. He, like G.
S. Barrett, has always been true and
faithful, not one word of discredit has
been hurled against him. He stands
today a model, monument before all
the world advocating the cause of
reform, true to the interest Of the COM
mon people, teaching the world that
there still remains a fearless defend
er of the cause Of right.
]. l.. Barron, State Secretary and
Treasurer, was also born on the farm
in Upson county, Georgia, his father
having discovered the making of a
man in his only boy, after considera-
BILE sacrifics gave him an education,
(by the way he is living example of
G. S. Barrott's school boys)
Upon the advent of the Farmers
Union in his community he became
an ardent supporter of its principles,
perhaps of the three he hated to lay
down the school room the worst Of
either, he too being a rural teacher
