National Farmers u-ion Renders un-
selhah Service 70 Agriculture.
BY Peter Radfore.

Tho National Farmers Union will
hold its annual Convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year CT
its activities in the interest Of the
American plowman. When that con-
veEtion ia called TO order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his hoad in honor OF the men gath
cred there TO render a patriotic and
unselGsh service to agriculture. That
organ !zotion. born in the cotton fields
of Texas. has grown until geograph-
icaiiy it covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs 10 the summer sun are
involved. It las battled for a better
marketing system. rural credits, cheap
money, divcrsification, scientific pro
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work OF education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Uricn of America brings
the question OF organization sqi;arely
bsfore every farmer in this. nation
Without organization the farmers can
ro.,hcr help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and Systematic eaoFt al things are
possible.
Tie farmers of the United States
contribute nero and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay = higher rate of interest
than any ether line OF industry. They
market mere products and have less
tO say IN fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political bunecmbe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
cf people. The farmers can only ac-
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economies as viii
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organ.za-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires TO help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

GRASPIHs At THE SHADOW

No man-especially If he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace, but why does woman
long fer the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of mayor; is Iot the employment of
the dairyman far moro important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection OF books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for j1;l and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the I'M
portGnt things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it is not, as rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballet; it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Nov l lay me down TO sleep
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes TO reign es
queen over Q happy home that longs
for the Uniform of the safsragette. II
is, as a rule, the woman WHO despises
her home, neSlects her children anc
;scorrs Motherhood that leads psraces
ard smashes windows.

There is more Catarrh IN this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed 20 be incurahle.
For great many years doctor1 pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrih-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh 20 be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured BY =. j. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only cons ,itu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally. 1t acts directly on the

POLITICAL G0sSIPs

When ono class of people has any
thing to say, 1t has become largely
the custom TO make . political issue
Out OF it instead of friendly discus
cion. to print II In law book instead
OF a newspaper and to argue it be-
fore jury instead OF to settle it in
the higher courts OF Common Sense.
AS q result. political agitators, polit-
icai lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissensioE, selhshnoss, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs. for when the low,
damp. murlly atmosphere of misun-
derstandirg envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, vermin.
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine OF understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many selfappointcd
capable OF srasping the fundamental
Of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No busi-
ness can stand upon error and might
or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding.
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice. suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands OF the weak fer dema-
eogues thrive upon discussion and
sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
midd,eman-the political gosslo-and
this result can be accomplished by
tho managers of business sitting
around the table Of industry and talk
ins it ever with the people Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summpr evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare OF the people

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This na.ion is new in Che midst Of
q controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
loss Important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttines
political platforms have declared war
upon business and re cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many mon have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded as-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter OF century we
have fought rlany u duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been senrched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions Of war should he given q
clearance to sail for the port OF Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity,
should begin ut home.
