PACIFISM IN THE sos

One of the strong of the Civil War period was Samuel J. Kirkwood governor of Iowa. In those days there who would make peace at any price of national honor just there are now There were men in the north who decred the because they were southern synlpathizers. They were men who wanted peace because war interfered with business and cost them money To all of those and their like Governor Kirkwood issued an appeal in a message to the legislature which is just as ap- plicable to conditions then, especially the following part of it:
 We are eminently peaceful and peace loving people and the interruption of peaceful tons by war and its incidents bears hardly upon us put we must remember that the only way to bring back and make permanently secure to that peace we love so well is to convince those who have thrust this war upon us and to convince all others that, although we love peace much, love our country S honor and the perpetuity of our union more."

Pacifists, Good and Bad

We have fault to find with the pacifst-that is the who prefers peace to war and will do any thing he honorably do to avoid war. All normal men and women are pacifists. Some would have gone too far to avert They would have gone so far as to make war later inevitable and to leave the nation alone and handicapped in the face of a vic torous, powerful and interruptions enemy. But in some degree previous to Q certain day last April we were an pacifists and there mighty good people among us-for instance President Wilson and Henry Eord who pacifists longer.
 that day pacifsm should have ended The nation had determined after futile experiments that there but way to have peace and that way was to light for it and fight Any further peace movement became obstacle to the enterprise in which were forced to engage. It has been of an obstacle than any the remaining honest pacifsts imagined it could be- It became a help the enemy. encouragement to him to continue in It became instrument for the prolongaton of the war
 It is a noteworthy fact which could not have escaped the attention of honest pacifists that known and suspected enemy of this country was a pretended pacifist. He had been one; he opposed with all his might the entrance of the country into the war though he had favored the continuation of the war in Europe that Germany might win. He was a pacifist only to participation in the war on the side of the allies; he had done what he could embroil us in conflict against the allies.
 Now he is a pacifist only to the extent hinder ing the nation in its preparations He sought to array public sentiment against draft first against registration for the draft
 All this has been done in the name of peace Ihe honest pacfists have preferred an idea 10 the expression democratic nation in bad com pany. They pulling the nation back at a time when it must go forward perish.
 These peace societies discaim any purpose to hinder or embarrass the government. They profess to be preparing the public mind for peace in the future: they would commit the country to peace policy the present is over Whether or not such policy is advisable depends entirely upon our world neighbors they not peaceable we cannot afford to entertain such policy. Anyway, this IS not the time campaign for peace. It only gives the enemies of the country opportunity to shear the nation of strength for which is now hera

The Farmer Goes Into Politics

movement somewhat similar that of the Farmers Alliance of a generation which developed into the Peoples Party has gained considerable strength in the middle west under the title of the Farmers League. Following it's sweeping victory in Dakota the league has invaded Iowa and steps being taken to organize in Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas.
 The farmers movement in Iowa had only local political significance in the beginning It was merely
 protest against increased taxation. Last year when it was proposed build good roads the farmers united against the project because they believe it would throw a great burden upon them. By the the farmers the candidate who advocated good roads showed under and the candidate with a middle the road platform was elected by majority.
 With demand for farmers elevators. co-opera- tive packing plants and market organizations which tend to give the farmer sort of control of his bring him into direct relation with the consumer and check speculation, this movement bids fair unite the farmers in strong organization. It aims also protect them against the operations of the harvester combine and other trusts But many of the grievances the farmer will met under the food control law and other regulations of combines and specuators which the has made necessary
 Stnl the movement having been got under way and having likely been upon already by poi-
 cians it doubtful extent it may be carried Anyway it's development will be with interest in all parts of the country. No class of men has suffered from lack of organization than the farmer and yet he has been noorously slow to take advantage of this system for his own protection in the past when the afforded him no protection Farmers rule independent in thought and action that they have baffled all attempts of or- ganizers.
 In an economic way there be no question as to the wisdom of farmers organizations but the attempt Of growers to combine for political purposes is fraught with danger Such organizations will naturally lead to the organization of non-farmers Any grouping which puts the farmers into one camp and those who not farmers into another and op- posing would leave farmers hopeesslv in the minority But before the present movement ebbs it is likely to have an important influence on the politics of the country
