No Peace With Autocracy.

The message of President Will
sons Flag Day address can be
compressed into four words:
No peace with autocracy."
1t is a true message. Except
with that goal in view, the war
is not worth fighting and the
sacrifices are all in vain.
When slavery and secession
plunged the United States into
the mightiest struggle that
democratic institutions had ever
faced, we destroyed slavery and
we destroyed secession. There
was no peace and there could
have been no peace until both
were uprooted and exterminated
Nor can there be peace now un-
til the institution that is respon-
slble for this war and all the in
describable calamities that it has
inflicted upon mankind has paid
the penalty of its crime. New
York World.

VACATION LABORERS

City people, including editors
of daily papers, even Depart
ment of Agriculture officials,
seem unable to comprehend the
farm labor problem. The Balti-
more News, in an editorial of
June II. discussing a plan for
organization and distribution Of
those who will give part of their
time this summer for farm labor,
says very pertinently that the
success of the plan depends,
first, upon getting the volun-
teers, and, second, upon getting
the farmers to take the volun-
teers. The News seems to think
that there is a prejudice among
the farmers to overcome, and it
urges the county press to assist
in overcoming that prejudice.
1t is not prejudice which
prompts the farmer to be indiff-
erent toward this kind of help
either the hobo, the trifer or the
man who enthusiastically ar
ranges to spend his summer va
cation in the pleasant recreation
of farm work. It is the know
ledge born of long experience.
Farm work is not only skilled la
Dor, but it is severe and in many
ways unpleasant. Of necessity
the hours must be longer than
those observed in factories and
on public works. Farmers have
so often employed men who
would leave them after doing
one or two days Indifferent
work that they are no longer will
ing to spend time and money in
the experiment. Even the man
with the best of intentions who
is unused to farm work is apt to
lose his enthusiasm when a quart
of chaff or hayseeds drops down
his sweaty back inside his shirt
or the cultivator strikes a stone
and punches him in the ribs,
while a swarm of flies are trying
to get into his painting mouth.
And when he arises in the morn
ing with every muscle stiff and
score and hears the whirr of the
cicadas presaging another
scorching day he is very apt to
develop a longing for the cool
ness of an office or the shade
and the accustomed routine of
the factory.
If present prices keep up, the
young men will remain on the
farms where they have been
trained, and the problem will be
solved. Until the farm is able
to offer at least equal rev ards
with other occupations calling
for less effort and less exposure
to wind, rain and sun, the farm
labor problem will remain with
us. Union News.
