President Barrett Reelected

President Barrett Reflected =
It would have been cause for universal
regret if Hon. Charles S. Barrett had per
sisted IN his purpose of declining another
term as President of the Farmers Union.
That organization is the hope of the Cot
ton Belt especially, and, when ''the ship finds
ITSELF, the whole country will share in the
benefits resulting from it's work
The farmers are peculiar people, hard to
collect and hard to hold. Individualism is
powerfully developed in farm life, and ODE
dlence to the dlscl pline of an organization is
naturally distasteful to the average man who
on his own farm, no matter how small, is
boss. The whole layout may be under mort
gage-land, mule, wagon, COW, hogs, every
thing-but still the farmer has his own way
until the sheriff comes, and he hates like the
mischief to JOIN anything which requires him
to pay dues for the privilege of being dis
ciplined.
Perhaps no living soul understands these
farmers so we'll as Mr. Barrett And he never
fatters them. Generally, it is Just the other
way He has the Sam Jones faculty Of abus-
ing people without exciting resentment He
can "cuss OUT a bunch of recalcitrants and
marpfots, and do it in such a way that they
like it.
W " IlllS UlIllc3 tie Farmers Union has
not developed anyone who could fill Barrett's
place. In fact no other man would be will

will lay the facts before our readers upon
these facts each can exercise his common
sense, and form his own opinion.
DR.. Wakefield delivered missionary lee
ture in Charlottesville, Indiana, one night last
June. Next day, the local paper, the Journal,
published an account of it. That report must
have been read by many who were in the au-
dience, the night before. Unless DIR. Wake
field has less self-este than any man / ever
knew, he himself had a curiosity to see what
sort Of report was made of his lecture, and
satisfied it by reading the papers.
BE that as 1t may, the report Of the lecture
eeas accepted as correct By the people q0ho
heard 1t: Nobody had a'ay motive to moisrep-
resent 1t.
Dr.. Jno. N. Taylor, gentleman, of the
highest standing and resident of Craw-
fordsville,- realized that Wakefield had made
a terrible admission, and, as DR.. Taylor had
been following. with interest my missionary
articles and had written me valuable sugges-
tions on the subject, he knew that could
make effective use of the Wakefield -confes-
sion. So he clipped the report, and marked
the passage which / made the text of the edi-
torial, "TVhdt We Missionaries Concentrate
A clamor followed the publication of the
article, and, it was copied throughout the
country: It was hurting the fanatics dread
fully, and they saw that something had to be
done There is no telling what pressure was
brought to bear on DR.. Wakefield You I'M
derstand how these things are. But to pro-
coed:
Upon receipt Of notice from Rev. DR..
Corey, Secretary of the Foreign Missions
hat ~, W.
worker under the Board, was going to DENY
the report of his Charlottesville lecture, I
wrote to DR.. Taylor asking him to see the re-
porter of theJ0umaI, and some members of
Wakeheld's audience and get their statements.
Doctor Taylor promptly replied, promising
to do SO, but intimating some doubt as to
whether he could find those who would stand
fire.
Later came DR.. Wakefeld,s denial in which
he claims that he said Just the reverse of aohat
oc0S reported. Thinking that it would be all
right for me to apply to brother editor
about matter involving the honor of his pa
per and mine, [ wrote him personal letter.
AS was investigating report published in
his paper, direct communication to him
seemed a professional courtesy
In doing this, [ was so unfortunate as to
offend DR.. Taylor. 1t never once occurred to
me that in asking the editor for a personal
letter in regard to the matter, that [ was do
ing anything inconsistent with the request
made of Dr. Taylor. The securing of afida-
Wits from members of the audience. and from
the reporter, was one thing: personal letter
from the editor to me was another At least.
that was the way it seemed to me, and | was
greatly surprised and panied to receive COM
munication from DR.. Taylor declaring, in
substance, that because of my application to
the editor, he, DR.. Taylor, would I'drop it,.

When Grandma Goes VISITING.

Grandmother will appreciate a sew
ing bag as a Christmas gift perhaps
more than anything else you can give
her. This bag is especially suited for
a sewing bag. as it is easily folded and
can be carried in a small hand bag
when she goes visiting. One yard and
a quarter each of plain pink taffeta and
Dresden silks are required. Both silks
are cut on the bias and divided into
three pieces. then seWed together alter
nately, thus-first pink, then Dresden,
then pink, and SO on. The foundation
of the bag is a circle of soft cardboard
five inches in circumference. This is
covered neatly with pink taffeta silk
on both sides. for which a quarter yard
of pink taffeta silk is required. After
base is covered gather silk and sew
on to base. This forms the bottom OF
bag. To make top, turn in silk about
two inches from the top and stitch
down neatly, then make another row
of stitching one-half inch above this
row. This forms a place through
which the running string is run. One
yard of narrow soft taffeta ribbon is
used for a running string.
