Gov. Glynn's Reply to Mr.. Root.

Former Gov. Martin H. Glynn presented very
able defense of President Wilson's policies before
the New York State Democratic convention. re-
plying in detail to the charges embraced in the
recent attack of Mr.. Root. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that the general public will be far less i'm
pressed by Gov. Glynn's somewhat labored and in
sense technical explanation of the broad and
sweeping allegations leveled at the administration
by Mr.. Root The latter flared forth with the
terrific arraignment OF the prosecutor, and Gov,
Glynn replied with arguments better calculated to
CONVINCE Supreme Court than jury. 1t is rather
surprising. too. that the convention in the Empire
State representing the party in control of the ma
tional government should so completely submit to
the role OF defendant selected for it by its oppo-
nents and permit It's keynote speaker to apply him
self almost exclusively to the task Of justifying the
past.

A Squint Toward protection"

Although the war problem is an important fac
tor. what we chiefly interested in now is in
dustral development. The dyestuff famine affects
not only the cotton mills and the cotton trade, but
thousands Of industries into which aniline coIors
enter. Through these it goes back to the pro-
Queer of cotton and other raw materials. 1t is
problem which is literally interviewer in the very
warp and wool OF our vast commercial life. Con-
gress can and must make possible both the de-
velopment and maiptcnance Of this industry in

Chicago Graft Charges.

Chicago revelations to female grafters are
hardly in keeping with those bright predictions OF
greater purity in politics when women receive the

is the first exposure of the kind and that in West
States the fair has been filling political Of
fees for some years. Their record has been good
even if they have not brought the millennium to
pass. AS for Chicago, grating seems to be the

Nationai Farmers Union Renders Un-
selfish Service to Agriculture.
by Peter Hadfo~d.

The National Farmers Union will
hold Its annual convention In Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year OF
Its activities in the interest OF the
American plowman. When that con
vention Is called to order every farm.
or In America should pause and bow
his head In honor of the men gath
cred there to render patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization. born In the cotton fields
OF Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically II covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
1t deals with every question In which
the welfare OF the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. It has battled for a better
marketing system. rural credits, cheap
money. diyersification. 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 Union OF America brings
the question OF organization sQuarely
before every farmer In this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers OF the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than amy other class OF
business. They have better securities
and pay q higher rate OF interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say In fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
OF people. The farmers can only &C.
GuIre such nfruencs IN business. m
government and In economics as will
enable them 70 share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organiza-
tion and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

directing its appropriations to PORTS

A free port is progress 1t takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain

its benefits az that OF free port
and none can be more easily and Of
