them once demonstrate that the
Farmers Union is a permanent or
ganization, with well defined aims
and nucleus of workers, who will
not shirk the long pull, and the va
cant places in the team will be filled
by farmers who are slow in making
up their minds to enlist in a new
movement, but having once become
convinced OF it's worth and power,
will join heart and soul in the work.
If the loyal members stick through
the long pull, the uphill grade will
soon end and the Union will strike
the level road when the momentum
Of the organization will increase and
the work OF drawing it forward will
proportionately decrease.

as did the fire builders endanger
property. But how often have you
taken such infected children to their
parents and complained of the en-
dangering of health and life with the
same yigor that you would have COM
planned of the endangering of prop
erty? Probably never, and simply
because you felt you might make an
enemy of your friend by doing so.
Moral obligations to protect life
and health are as great, or greater,
than the moral obligation to protect
property. Measles kills more chill
dren every wear than does diphtheria
or scarlet fever, and whooping cough
Kills as many people as diphtheria
and scarlet fever put together. Is
the life of your child worth as much
as your property? If so, protect the
Childs life with the same energy as
you would protect your property. If
your moral obligation to protect
your neighbours property is sufficient
to justify your making an enemy of
a friend, then certainly your moral
obligation to protect the health and
lives of your neighbours children is
equally great.

MORAL OBLIGATION VS.. FRIEND
SHIP
WIN. GOODYEAR

The state board of health has is
sude the following pertinent argu-
ment regarding the obligation of all
good citizens to assist in stamping
out contagious diseases:
The question of making an enemy
out of a friend is one that is worthy
of serious consideration, but we are
not infrequently called upon to weigh
carefully the question of performing
moral obligation, even though such
performance may cost us a friend.
Under some circumstances we do
not hesitate to act, while under 9TH
ers some of us do hesitate and even
fail to. perform what we know is a
moral obligation.
1t is hardly conceivable that any
normal adult who found children,
even though these children belonged
to their dearest friends, building a
fire in such close proximity to their
property or other peoples property
as to seriously endanger it, would
not Immediately interfere with such
procedure and even conduct the chill
dren to their parents and report the
circumstances. Should the parents
of such children become enraged at
this action on the part of their
friend, it is very probable that most
of us would consider the friendship
of such parents a negligible quantity
and insist that such danger to prop
erty be avoided, even though it might
be necessary to call on the officers
of the law to prevent it.
We are very careful in the protec-
ton of property; on the other hand,
are we as conscientious in the pro-
lection of life? It is probable that
the majority of those who read this
statement have found children ex-
posed to and even infected with what
are commonly known as "milder dis
eases of childhood, such as measles
and whooping cought, running at
large, associating with other chill
dren and ondangering the health and
lives of such other children as surely
