LACK IN CAUTION
Ordinary, Everyday Word, but one
Fraught With Deep and Far.
Reaching Importance.

To omcials and Members OF the
Union.
Caution Just an ordinary, eve.v
day word, but one fraught with deep
and f%ar-reachlng Importance.
Il is the one thing farmers lack
above all other qualities. Caution they
have IN plenty 20 certain directions,
but usually not in the direction It
should be applied.
They are ~over-cautious about hon
estly accepting plans and organiza-
lions within their own ranks. calling
for cooperation. mutual aid and self.
sacrifices. 1 know, OF course, II Is
due in a measure to the fact that his
bump of caution has become abnorm-
ally developed.
But, on the other hand, the wordy,
windy. promising politician seems
able to wipe out this bump Of eau
ton every election day. Fooled time
and time again by broad promises
before the election, only to be forgot
ten and ignored after the election,
yet the farmers caution bump falls
to show when the same d%eceiving,
selfish politician comes forward again
and with the same old empty prom
ises arouses his enthusiasm to high
pitch, to such a high pitch that he
throws caution. the absolute knowl-
edge that he is dealing with q rascal,
to the winds and votes once mere for
the idle promiser.

to accept and take hold Of move
ments within their own ranks for
self-advancement, because they have
been fooled in the past. Why the
same theory don't work with them
as regards this seheming politician
is something too profound for my IN
raveling. But the truth Of It lie too
ell known for argument.
That old designing. crafty politician
is mighty humble, mighty cordial,
eager to promise anything asked when
before you seeking your vote. But
just see him In Washington, as /
have. There he laughs at your guilt
h.lity; sneefs at your confidence In his
promises; openly faunts you and your
cause.
You are waking up a bit along that
line, III confess. but only after con-
slant hammering on you. Some men
who have stood In places Of power for
years and sneered at you and your
needs have felt your righteous wrath
and gone into the oblivion they have
long merited.
But otheTe remain. Many Of them
are going to come as humble suppli
cants for your suffrage next year.
They wear the outward garb and sem
hlance Of real and true friends to you
and your use They r oily, shrewd,
plausible. Every artihce Of the de-
signing ~self-seeker viii be used on
you again.

let that sort fool you yet again? Oh,

seeking your franchise Know, don't

that he will do all in his power hon

in the high places. You win get leg

haven't had some one to press your
