FARMERS AND WAR.


probably been slower to realize their
relation to the government and to the
war than any class Of the American
people. it is probably because they
have not been thrown as intimately
in touch with governmental affairs as
have the people who live in the CEN
ters of population. Doubtless when
they do get that intimate touch with
government, that feeling of personal
responsibility and obligation which
every citizen in a republic should
have. they will respond more whole
beartedly to the demands OF the
country.
Farmers as a general proposition
know little of financial terms. Prob
ably not one in hundred ever
handled a government bond. That IS
true of Americans generally. At the
beginning of this war only 100000 oi
our population of hundred millions
owned a bond. This is in marked
contrast to the frugal people OF
France where out of population OF
forty millions there were twelve MIL
lion bond holders. Our government
having in the past raised practically
all of it's revenues by indirect taxa
ton very few farmers ever directly
paid any federal taxes. They are
keenly alive to the expenditure OF
local and state taxes, raised directly
but they are rather Indifferent to
something they never see.
But with the enormous prosperity
of which the farmers of the nation
are the beneficiaries, many OF them
a large per cent will pay income and
other direct taxes, as the exemption
is only $4,000. They will gradually
become educated to the fact thai
everything they have is involved II
the outcome of this struggle, thai
their country must get its money
from the people, and that unless those
who have the money invest in 1T
bonds there must come failure ant
the crash of everything that is deal
to them.
Farmers have more at stake IL
this war than any class. The farn
products of the nation this year have
a value Of ten billions Of dollars. II
1900, the farm products OF the natlol
shad a value of three billions. Eigh
wears ago they were only half VIVA
they are this year. This enormou
increase is due to the unprecedente'
foreign demand for our. farm pre-
ducts. Between a billion and bl
Zion and a half dollars worth OF SUI
plus will go this year to Europe. Blu
for this foreign export demand farr
products would probably not nav
half the value that they have TIL
year. By reason of keeping the sea
open, because this nation refused
bow to the imperial decree OF Ge
many this export trade has lee
made possible Had the seas pee
closed to trade, exports OF 1orels
products stopped and internatloh'
commerce ended the farmers Of thi
nation would have witnessed perio
Of depression the like OF which ma
not been known since the early min
ties.
When the farmers appreciate ar
realize all these things, when the
get the personal view OF governmen
know that one citizen is as much
part Of this great fabric Of civil II
serty as another, they are going
invest these war profits and more .
,sides in the bonds OF their country

DIR OWN DEMOCRACY

While we are engaged in holy COM
bat to make the world safe for de-
mocracy, our people should never for
a moment lose sight Of the equally
important duty Of making our de-
mocracy safe for the world. After
all our own democratic system OF gov
eminent is very far from perfection.
It is yet long way from being as
safe as it should be. Every day some
thing comes up to challenge the
thoughtful consideration of men who
believe that the happiness and wei
fare Of the people can best be served
through a democratic system OF gov
eminent but who are not unm ,ndfui
Of the pitfalls that constantly sur
round it.
For example the people Of Davidson
county have just elected to the high
and important office of sheriff man
. VINO had but recently been ousted
from that office because he had not
done his sworn duty. He had been
proven, according to the solemn
findings of the courts, recreant to his
trust and unworthy of his place and
vet by an immense majority the ex-
ecution of the laws, the very bulwalk
of life and of liberty. has again been
entrusted to his hands.
| And that is not all. This same re-
creant official, with an appeal to the
supreme court pending, was made a
delegate to the judicial convention
that will have to do with the nomi-
nation and election Of the very judges
probably who will finally pass upon
his guilt or innocence and this was
done by the people with full know
ledge of his shortcomings. 1t Is
travesty upon free government that
an ousted official with an appeal
ending, should have been made one
of the instr uments for the making OF
the very court that is to be judge OF
his case.
Then down in Dyer county rather
significant thing occurred, one tia'
cannot pass unnoticed by true pa
tiots. A negro was lynched. He de
served death, but when he, was cruel
w burned and tortured it was not the
brute that suffered most but the law
the sacred law, the shield and anchor
lof all our liberties. The day follow
ing a judicial convention convened II
that county, a convention having
mart in the making of the states lu
| dietary, a body selected to right a.
wrongs, both public and private. This
, convention proceeded to place itsei
i, ON record as not condemning mo-
murder. If the members OF the con
lvention really feel that way about TN
! matter, If they are convinced ina
y there is justification for the mob,
