desire to submit some facts and
suggestions to the members OF the
Union. and ask their careful con-
sideration and support of same.
In accordance with resolutions
passed at Little Rock we have
sent a committee to Washington
to urge upon Congress such legis-
latiou as was called for at the Little
Rock and the Memphis conven-
tons. The committee reports a
decided indifference on the part OF
Congress to. pass the measures
asked for. Other interests, OPP
posed to.ours, are active in oppos-
ing our demands. Brethren, this
indifference of Congress, and OF
Legislatures, will continue until
you, by personal letters and reso-
lutions to legislators show as much
activity and as much insistence for
our demands as are shown by 9TH
er Interests in opposing them.
Every farmer, whether in or out
of the Union, is to blame if he has
not written personally letter to
some Congressman or Legislator
in support of our demands. Your
Union officials, State or National,
can do little in matters OF legisla-
ton unless you will cooperate with
us by supporting our demands in
every way in your power. Broth
ers, write to your congressman
and Senators, foreward your reso-
buttons, and we will get all we de-
mand. Fail to do so, and we shall
get nothing, An army, no matter
how large, is no good if its soldiers

be adopted, and planks be inserted
in platforms pledging the parties
to the support of our demands. We
should see that each party goes
squarely on record regarding prop
er monetary measures, general
parcels post, postal savings bank,
gambling in farm products. The
time to get legislation is at the
primaries and conventions. Don't
fail to attend them, and there Sc
cure pledges for our relief.
Notwithstanding the unprece-
denied fight against IS cent cotton,
the prospects are better than ever to
get it. The manufacturers and

that the financial depression and
the closing of mills will curtail con-
sumption to such an extent that
cotton will not advance. Let US

A "NIGGER" CROP.

lngro's crop Grains are the white
mans crop. The trouble is that the
farmer is Niger to the merchant.
and the merchant is niger to the
financier. The merchant who does
the general advancing business is not
a benefactor. The farmer who expects
to prosper must shorten his account
with his own farm. 1t has been my
observation that the diversifier sets
good table He is the man who
stands for levying taxes for schools,
good roads and other things that tend
10 make a desirable community. If
you are looking for a rundown farm,
don't go to the diversifier. Don't go
to him for low-priced land. If You
are looking for man that is 'agin
the government and society in gen
eral, knocker and kicker, don't go
to the diversified farmer. 1t is in him
that the hope of the future lies, the
hope of the resurrection of a new
earth rising out of the old. Through
him the mortgage-ridden, soil-depleted,
cherries home will pass away and
we shall have fields we'll kept, good
barns, happy homes, healthy children,
good schools, good roads and every
tie to the rest of the world. 1t will
give broad men, in sympathy with
their fellows, and happy women,
cheerful with their kind. We shall
have that which is purest, best and
most ennobling in life. "-Extract from

SAYS UNION DID NOT FAIL
To RAISE PRICE OF COTTON

By your consent l will try to
write something for the good
of the Union. Being no schol-
ar feel very much embar-
raised to write for publication. and
seeing SO much that ought to be
said 1 hardly know where to be-
gin. But will say in the outset
that old Cleburne county has some
of the best Union men in the State,
while we are not doing all that we
desire to do nevertheless we are
doing the best under the circum-
stances. Although we have some
good strong members yet there are
some who do not seem to be so
strong. think mans condition
and surroundings have something
to do with the Unionism.
Some think that we made a fail
ure in the price of cotton and have
become discouraged. Now it was
not the Union that failed; it was
the traitors, scabs and towards that
have made the mistake by taking
the advantage of the Union when
it had the price up nearly to the
standard. Had it not been for the
efforts of the Union, in my honest
opinion, cotton would have sold
for about seven cents. 1t will not
be the traitors, towards and desert
ers that will win in this fight but
the ones that are not afraid of crit
icism. Brethren, l want to say be
faithful and courageous. II we
gain our independence in ten m ore
years we have gained one of the
greatest victories of a lifetime.
One great trouble is we as class
do not read the Union literature
Another trouble with us farmers is
that we do not study our own bust
ness enough. We listen too much
to the fellow who has no interest
in what is our interest except to
get what we have. Now what We
want is to let the women and
children make good garden and
the the men and older children
make a good crib of corn. fodder
and hay, and peanuts, peas, pota-
toes of both kinds. pumpkins, mel
ons, beans and all the sorghum
molasses they need put up all the
fruit ard berries they will need,
furnish our tables with the prod
uCc ~ our own farms as much as
possible. Let us quit working all

the week and then go to town Sat

we made through the week, many

GREETING FROM THE
UNIONS NATIONAL BOARD

our cotton to fill their contracts.
The supply now in their hands Is
very short. Our farmers are
showing a wonderful determination
in holding, and we feel assured
that we shall win this fight. The
cotton warehouse is growing the
bane of the cotton gambler, and
| salvation of the Southern farmer.
Let us continue to hold, and con-
tinue to build more warehouses.
Another matter on which we feel
that all American men can agree
is the fight that has been begun for
graduated land tax. The day is
past when the accumulation of
large bodies of agricultural land by
either corporations or individuals
can be allowed to proceed without
a vigorous protest. This fight is
now being made in the Legislature
of the new State of Oklahoma
which has taken the lead in more
than one reform.
The National Legislative Com
mittee recommended that the I'm
ion farmers of every State be asked
to indorse the matter of American
soil for American home builders.
Our brethren in Oklahoma are en-
deavoring to enact such legislation
as will help to make it easy for
every industrious man to secure a
reasonable portion of this earth s
surface on which to build a home
and maintain his family, and to do
this it is necessary to make it hard
for any individual to hold control
of large area for the purpose of
collecting tribute for his fellow man
This is just as important to those
in the older States as in Oklahoma
the necessity is even more ur-
gent in the older States. Oklaho-
ma is to be in the lead in this mat
ter, and she is entitled to the sup
port and encouragement of those in
other States. If Oklahoma can
succeed in enacting such law,
we in other States can use it as a
precedent; and can have the bene-
TIT of their experience.
Let it be understood right now
that law of this kind cannot be
passed now in Oklahoma without
hard fight.
If you favor graduated land
tax, send letter or a resolution
from your Local to T. M Jeffords,
Elgin Oklahoma, who will see that
it is properly presented to the
Legislature of Oklahoma. Any
resolutions to Congress may be
sent direct to your Congressman or
Senator at Washington, or to R.
