Complete review Of the achieve
ments and public service rendered
by democratic administration at
Washington under Pres't Woodrow
Wilson is contained in the demo-
cratic national Textbook, which
has just been issued.
No such large story of legislative
and executive deeds. affecting both
domestic and international affairs OF
the highest moment, has ever in the
history of the country been treated
within the restricted limits OF po-
htical handbook.
Upon "the record of achievement
the textbook chiefly bases Wood
row Wilson's claim 70 reelection.
But vigorous reply 10 the candidacy
of Charles +. Hughes is made. A
multitude of reasons why Wilson
should be elected and why Hughes
should not be elected are set forth.
As to the former the gist is in the
introduction TO the record of
achievement. which says:
Summary of Results.
"This is the summary OF results
wrought by maSScrIy leadership OF
the democratic party.
'.It il the plain review of fact
which demonstrates that not since

everything WAS TO be done, has 80

with the republican party and be-
hind the candidacy OF Charles Evans
Hughes.
THE record of achievement
proves the democratic party the
greatest agency OF political reform
and progress entrusted with ma
tiOnal power i'm generations.
lit also proves the republican
party incompetent and criminalIy
negligent because, during sixteen
consecutive years. the republican
party had full opportunity TO enact
the long bill of popular rights made
operative under Woodrow Wilson in
little more than three years-and
not only failed but refused to do
So"
y Colossal Evasion.
The answer 10 Hughes chilly is
found in the chapter head Charles
+. Hughes-A Colossal Evasion"
The history of the division in the
republican party which eliminated
in the breach of 1912 is sketched. II
is then shown that Hughes was
taken from the supreme bench be-
cause he had no record upon the
issues which caused the split Of
1912: and that since becoming his
party's candidate he has continued
TO be a Colossal Evasion"
The chapter then takes up the
vital question of what Hughes could
do if elected. and concludes:
Whatever Hughes might attempt
To- do "a president, whether with
relation To foreign or domestic af-
fairs, he would confront the same
hopeless situation. II he should go
with the genuine progressiyes, would

CHECKING UP OFTEN NEEDED
Members Of Farmers Organizations
Owe Il to Themselves to Audit
Accounts Frequently.

The fault of many mutual or coop
erative organizations is financial. We
have numerous farmers organizations
that handle more or less money. Be
1t said to the credit Of most of them,
the officers have handled the finances
in the way they should be handled.
Some of these organizations give the
financial officials real. genuine check
ing up. while some have an auditing
committee that does just about what
the secretary or treasurer tells 1t to
do, and others do not check their off,
cials at all.
Many a good man has gone wrong
just because he was not checked up,
says Twentieth Century Farmer. The
members of every organization ham
ding funds owe 1t to themselves and
to their officials to check up all finan-
cial transactions carefully. A lot Of
what might have been good. useful
farmers organizations have failed and
quit business just because their chief
financial officer went wrong. Gener-
ally this man went wrong because he
was not properly checked up.
No honest man will want anything
but thorough checking up, and the
dishonest man surely must have it or
failure will result. A little more busi-
nesslike methods injected into some of
these organizations will keep them
going and allow them to perform the
work for which they were organized.

COMMON ACTION IS REQUIRED
Department Of Agriculture Issues eul.
Ietin on Cotton Growing In ir-
ri0atin0 Regions.

The individualism that has marked
the farmer of the East and South, who
has preferred to fail, II necessary, ac-
cording to his own opinions, rather
than to cooperate with his neighbors
in uniform methods, has been lost al
most automatically by Fasteners and
Southerners who have gone West Es-
pecially in fruit production the need
for common action has been apparent
II markets thousands of miles away
were to be controlled, and, as q re-
suit, strong cooperative associations
have sprung up. Now the department
Of agriculture has recognized the wis
dom of such cooperation by issuing
bulletin pointing out that cotton
growing, at least in irrigated regions,
cannot be carried on to best advantage
on an individualistic basis, but re-
Quires community action.
1t is pointed out that in such COM
munity action bankers, cotton buyers,
ginners and manufacturers. as well as
growers, must take part before sta
OAiLCu, uCpChuoOiO CAOP Cdu D0 QTV-
duced. The government has demon
strated, for instance, the most suitable
and most profitable of known varie-
ties of cotton that can be grown in
the Imperial valley of California, but
only $50 of the 600 cotton growers of
the region have adopted it, with the
result that full possibilities cannot yet
be realized. Even with this condition.
however, the department of agricul.
ture points out that the $50 growers
who have adopted the standard va
riety, by organizing, have greatly bet
tered conditions, and, by common sup
port of ginners and by the insuring of
certain supply to buyers and manu-
facturers, have placed themselves on
a much better basis than unorganized
producers of their own and other COM
munities.
