Declaring That Delusion That Or
ganization's Worst Foes Come
From Without, Must Be Dis
missed
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
The lamentable Mcnamara case,
which no element deplore regrets
nor repudiates more soundly than
all genuinely law-adiding members
of the American Federation OF
Labor, offers a pointed lesson to
members of the Farmers Union.
1t is the scoundrels within an organ
ization that are its worst foes, not
those from without. That fact
needs to be driven home to every
member of the Farmers Union.
Members of organizations like
our own and the Federation OF
Labor are too apt to believe that
a man is baptized of all sins the
moment he is initiated. Because
he is affiliated with them, they, OF
at least many Of them, cannot con
ceive that he can do wrong. Fiun-
dreds of thousands of members OF
the Federation were led into the
belief that there was gigantic CON
spiracy from the outside to crush
union labor, and that these two
men were scapegoats.
We have had, and still have, in
the Farmers Union, a class that IS
firmly convinced that the entire
world is arrayed against the Far
mer's Union.
While it most be admitted that a
certain percentage are antagonl site
to farmers organizations, we be-
lieve that the larger part of society
at large is in sympathy with our
purposes.
We have scourged many false
prophets, many fire brands, many
malcontents from without the Far
mer's Union. We must scourge
more, until the membership is
made up wholly Of faithful, law
abiding and industrious individuals.
I make the assertion, unqualified,
and without fear Of successful con-
tradiction, that every farmers
movement, every other popular
movement, that has fallen in histo-
ry owes it collapse not to OUTSIDE,
but to INSIDE influences. Here
and there outside foes must, OF
course, be watched for and combat
ted. But if there is no hypocrisy
within, if there is no aligning of
class against class, no lashlng OF
prejudices, if there is inceSsant
watchfulness to distinguish the
false from the true to judge by
merit, to refuse to be beguilded by
flattery, no outside combination ever
devised can disintergrate great
popular movement. You can look
at the national political situation
today, and see the assertion verifi-
ed.
Do not come under the delusion
that all men are holy just because
they join the Farmers Union.
Make up your mind vigorously to
watch for, discredit, disbelieve and
cast away those who are unworthy
who misrepresent and mislead you.
That way lies salvation for the Far
mer's Union, or any other popular
organization.

Train-Has Three Teeth
Knocked Out

Brakeman Hortland of the Great
Northern was the victim of a peculiar
and painful accident on Wednesday
when he was struck In the mouth
by an empty bottle thrown from pas
senger train No. 5.
Hortland was standing beside train
No. GAL on which he was working at
Larimore. where it was being held
for the passing of No. 5. Some pas
senger, the identity of whom could
not be learned, opened window and
threw an empty beer bottle from 1t.
The bottle struck Hortland squarely
in the mouth, cutting bad cash in
his lips and knocking out three
teeth.
The force with which the missile
struck Hortland was enough to break
it and to knock him to the ground.
members of the train crew rushed to
him and he was hurried to a physi-
clan, who sewed up his cuts. The
passengers we're questioned at the
next stop the train made but the
identity of the thrower of the battle
was no: divulged.
