STRENGTH IN UNION.
An Appeal For The Farmers To Stand
Shoulder To Shoulder.

and the world Of today has not
passed from under this rule. We
are today on the eve of another
great reformation, which no
doubt many Of US will live to see
perfected. The spirit is at work
in the land, and'it is NY honest
opinion that that spirit will con-
tinue to gain strength until the
time will come when we will
bless the day that it first began
its noble work.
And what spirit is that? Where
and with whom is it working?
What is its mission? What is its
prospect for success?
That spirit has been here for a
longer period than any Of US Of
this day can remem ber, although
at times it has lain dormant. Yet
every time it has come forth it has
been with renewed energy, and
this is one Of the times that it is
fully awake and ready for action.
1t has always been ready to give
credit where credit is deserving,
confer honor when any one is
worthy, render kindness to the
tender, respect the strong, have
sympathy for the weak and to
accord to all the privileges
promised them by their Creator.
That spirit is Education, Co.
operation, Good Citizenship.
It's work is among those who for
centuries have been neglected to
a great extent by those that have
been in a position to furnish the
help and encouragement needed
by those that have borne the
burdens of the world until their
forms are bent. Their education
has been neglected and their
general appearance is not as that
Of those who have been reared in
luxury and have never known
to want for a spare moment or a
luxury that the toll Of they that
labor could produce, And
among all clases that labor and
produce, the agricultural class
is the one that has been the worst
imposed upon, This class has
been contented to toll and sweat
and has allowed the commercial
world to give just what it saw
fit to give for all they mig
produoe-to set prices on every
thing they had to soil, on every.
thing they had to buy, and until
now this class has meekly SUBJ
mitted, But now that they are
beginning to assert their rights
| hey have all kinds Of epithets
thrown in their faces, such as
Farmer Trusts, Socialists, An
arcbIsts, Etc, They arc told that
"I guess your organization is a
good thing, but you are going to
ruin the whole thing by asking
too much" "Thoy don't know
what they need" Further that ii
will be sure to ran into partisan
politics and then go dead; then
that II won't bo any good If IL
doesn't have politics in it. Some
body is going TO get fooled,
This same class that Is organic.
ing today only asks for m equal
chance with all who labor, They
ask for honest laws, an equal
distribution Of the burdens Of
government, honest men to res
present thom in all tho legislative
bodies and in tho Offices Of trust,

education, that they have some'
/ thing TO say about what they dig

Washington, Oct Lieutenant
H. H. Rosseau, civil engineer in the
United States navy, and member
of the isthmian canal commission,
has arrived here from the lsthmus
and laid before Secretary Metcalf
proposition to increase the projected
width of the Panama canal which
is now planned at 100 feet in the
locks.
The recommendation is based up
on the rapid increase Of beam in nav
al construction since the canal plans
were formed.
Secretary Metcalf will take up the
matter with the president as soon as
possible
Lieutenant Rosseau departed for
New York soon after his interview
with the secretary.
Undoubtedly naval eXigencies, sup
plemented 10y the building of the
\ giant Cunarders Lusitania and Maui
/ritania, was the basis Of this project
I. ed change of plan which Will Involve
&the expenditure Of many additional
millions of dollars, and perhaps the
extension of the time required for
the cOmpletion of the canal pro-
ject.
It is also probable that the mere
suggestion of such considerable
change of plans as that proposed
by Lieutenant Rosseau would pre-
ciDitate a general debate in congress
and reopen the whole issue Of sea
level VS.. lock canal, which was be-
Geved to have been finally settled by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft when they gave the order tor
the beginning of work on the lock
canal plan.
The fact is that when congress
was SO warmly discussing the two
nreiects. about two years ago, the
sea level canal advocates made the
noint that theirs was the only plan
that would have sufficient elastlcl
=. to meet the needs of rapidly IN
Mrasing tonnage in marine construc
tfDn.
Their plan involved the use OF bu
one lock merely to offset the tlda
difference betWeenthe eastern anc
the western seas, a comparatl'el.
low and insignificant lock, "hlcl
could be easily widened When re
quired.
But they made a strong point
the difficulty, expense ana loss
time in the use of the canal ina
would follow the attempt to Widel
the complicated massive locks re
ouired for the high level canal.
Possibly foreseeing the force o
that argument the canal cOmmissloI
apparently feels that it would be wis
to make the locks of the canal Wld
enough in the beginning to accom-
modate the giant ships not only G
the navy but of the merchant marine
that are sure to be constructed l
the near future.
