FARMERS WOULD
EDUCATE PUBLIC
RURAL FINANCE Is NOT A FORM
OF CHARITY BUT A
RIGHT.

Fort worth, Tex, Aug. 2S.-Tables
will be turned by the farmers of the
nation in business-like little educa-
tional campaign they will begin for
the benefit of the public after the
Tenth Annual Convention of the Ma
tional Farmers Union that opens
here September 1.
Currency reform, as the need is
understood by the farmer, will be an
important subject with the Union at
the approaching convention" A. C.
Davis, of Gravette, Ark, National
Secretary-Treasurer, said recently.
"The impression has gotten abroad
in some sections that the farmer, in
seeking some form of rural finance,
is asking for charity. By following
the work Of the coming meeting of
the greatest body of organized farm
ers on the American continent the
general public will realize that the
farmer is but asking the privilege of
establishing himself upon a firm f.
nancial footing"
The convention will open Septem-
Der 1. Unlike most big conventions,
its program is not set as to time. The
convention will adjourn when the
farmers have finished their business,
whether it takes two days or a week.
Cotton Finance Considered.
Because of the present crisis in
the South, owing to the demoralized
condition of the cotton market, it is
certain that ways and means for dis
posing of this crop without serious
loss to the planters will engage the
attention of the convention as much
as any other question.
The convention, though, will not be
sectional. Every section of the coun.
try will send delegates and visitors
and every line of agricultural indus.
try will be represented.
The tobacco growers of Virginia.
the Carolinas, Kentucky and the East
will be here in large numbers; raisin
growers of California, the peach grow
ers of Georgia, Texas and Arkansas:
the orange growers of Florida, grain
and stock men from the Northern and
Middle Western States, the cotton
| planter of the South and truck grow
ers from every quarter of the land
will come to the council for the better
ment of rural life conditions.
Twenty-Five states, reaching from
Virginia to California and from Flori
da to Washington, will send represen
tatives from their organized State
Farmers Unions, while seven OIL
eight states in the process of organ
ization will be represented on the
convention floor with men picked from
their most progressive farmers.

To neutralize these irritating acids,

mo one can look about him with
frank eyes without feeling that there
is steady movement both of DUR
pose and action toward justice and a
RULER comprehension and realization
of the essential rights and liberties of
men," said President Wilson. THE
movement may be slow, at times
seems distressingly and discouraging-
ly slow, but it is unmistakable; and
all that we have to do to set it for
ward with ever increasing momentum
is to think justly, purpose the things
that are right, and be afraid of moth
ing except to be unfair and selfish
and hasty when interests great as
the country itself are involved"
Taft Opposes Closed Shop.
Former President Taft declared
himself in favor of labor organiza-
tions, but against the CLOSED shop
as curtailment of personal liberty.
He said he favored workman's COM
oensation laws, but was against
exempting labor and farmers organ
izations from the antitrust law. He
congratulated President Gompers on
the latter's hard and successful fight
against spread of socialism among
wage-earners."
THE only tenet of socialism l fully
lndorse is its opposition to war" said
Taft.
