What Lincoln Actually Wrote

In his reply to an address from a
workingmen's association, Lincoln
actually wrote as follows:
To the workingmen's association:
None are SO deeply interested to
resist the present rebellion as the
working people. Let them beware
OF prejudices, working division and
hostility among themselves. The
most notable feature of disturbance
in your city last summer was the
hanging of some working people by
other working people. 1t should
never be so. The strongest bond of
human sympathy, outside of the
family relation, should be one unit
ing all working people, of all nations,
and tongues, and kindreds. Nor
should this lead to war upon pro-
perty or the owners of property. Pro-
pretty is the fruit of labor; property
is desirable; it is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich,
and hence is just encouragement to
industry. Let not him who is house.
less pull down the house of another,
but let him work diligently and
build one for himself, thus by ex-
ample assuring that his own shall
be safe from violence when built.

GREAT PUBLISHING
HOUSE CHANGES IT'S MIND

The Country Gentleman has been
as badly fooled by the Non-partisan
league as anyone. 1t was so i'm
pressed with its pretensions that one
of its able writer's was assigned the
task Of writing it up for publication
in az, many issues of the magazine as
he choose. Townley was SO pleased
with the May, 1918, number, that he
bought $4,000 copies for distribu-
ton by his organizers. While pre-
pairing matter for the May number,
the writer for the Country Gentle
man took trip to North Dakota to
investigate at first hand, and changed
his mind. He wrote up conditions as
he found them land indicated that
Townley had simply stepped in and
taken possession of a farmers work
ing Organization, and developed it
into Townley machine to gather
money, power and votes for him to
use in the task Of setting class
against class. His June report was
a distinct change of front from the
May number and the editor in ex-
planning the change said, How many
copies Of this number will Mr.. Town
ley want?"

FARM BUREAU NOT CONNECTED
WITH NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
County Agent Monroe Announces the
Reasons

1t has been brought to the atten.
ton of the county agent that many
of our citizens believe that there Is
some connection between the Bing.
ham County Farm Bureau and the
farmers organization known as the
Non-partisan league. This is an err
roneous idea. The county farm
bureau is and always will be free
from any ENHANCEMENT alliances Of
a political nature. This the govern
ment regulations demand.
The farm bureau is supported by
a tax on all the people collected and
distributed by the United States 60
eminent, thru the department of
agriculture; the State of Idaho, thru
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Idaho; and Bingham county
thru it's board of county commission
ers. The bureau in Bingham county
strictly follows the pattern outlined
by the United States department of
agriculture and is maintained and
backed by the department in order
that the farmers Of our county may
have a workable organization for
solving their local agricultural pro-
blems. The bureau also stands ready
to act as medium for bringing the
commercial and agricultural inter-
ests of the county together for the
purpose of boosting and developing
the latene agricultural possibilities.
furthermore, our national govern
ment looks upon the county farm
bureau as the direct means of COM
munication between the government
and the farmer and. considers the or
ganization most essential in carrying
out our national war program and
in gathering data and information
concerning the needs Of the Ameri-
can farmer. The county agricultural
agent is the direct representative of
the national government.
In closing l might say that l feel
certain that members of the farm
bureau, who truly understand the
farm bureau movement, realize that
the above stand is absolutely neces-
sary If we are to accomplish the
things we are here to do.
M. 0. MONROE,
County Agricultural Agent.

REPUBLICANS DEMAND AUDIT.
Think People Should Have Check on
Billions They Have Given.

Last year Congress appropriated
more money to be expended In war
contracts than any other nation en-
gagged in war. The estimates for the
appropriations during the current year
are approximately $32 OO0, 100000
Twice during the past year the
Republicans in Congress attempted
to have congressional committee
created for the purpose of supervising
and auditing war contract expendi-
lures. Even Democratic members adj
init there is great waste and extrava-
gance - and even graft - in the ex-
expenditure of such vast sums. But
the Democrats refuse to agree to any
auditing or supervising committee.
Twice they have defeated such pro-
posals.
Congressman Tess, chairman Of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
says he cannot understand the "sensi-
tiveness" of the Democratic Congress
whenever the proposition is made to
have an audit of the public's money.
He says the Republicans will, If they
control the next Congress, create such
an auditing committee. The people
have willingly supplied the billions.
They are entitled to know how 1t Is
being spent.

Will the Farmer Stand for More Deception?
What the Townley Paper Printed

Accompanying the text by pic
ture of Lincoln, the Minnesota
Leader, the official organ of the Nom
partisan league in Minnesota, in its
issue of May IL, published the fol-
lowing under the caption, "A Mes
sage from Lincoln:
To the Workingmen's association,
1864:
Beware of prejudices working divi-
sion and hostility among you. The
strongest bond Of sympathy out side
of the family relations should be one
uniting all working people of all ma
lions and tongues and kindreds.
Abraham Lincoln.
In the adjoining column is the
paragraph from which the Townley
quotation was lifted, a fragment
here and another there, the result
being an utter distortion of the sub
stance and Justification Of the sense.
The accuracy of the quotation as it
appears in the adjoining column can
easily be verified by anyone who has
access to compilation of the letters
in Volume X of the Nicolay and Hay
and addresses Of Lincoln. It is given
edition of Lincolns works.
The capitalized words in the Lin
coin quotation have been omitted en-
tirely from the Tolwnley papers

COTTON PR0F|TEER|NG
Survey Made by Banking House
for the market" Shows
145 Per Cent. Profits.

The cost of producing the 1918
cotton crop was 112S cents pound.
The average price obtained for the
crop was 27.5 cents.
The cotton planters net profit on the
1918 crop was 1912 cents pound,
or little over 145 per cent. M
These figures are furnished to the
market" by the banking house Of H..
B. Bachman & Co. Of New York city,
one Of the largest cotton brokers in
the country. They are based on sur
vey Of over 1000 cotton growing coun-
ties In the South. The survey was
made by Mr.. James L. Watkins, ST.,
formerly Chief Cotton Statistician Of
the q. 8. Department Of Agriculture.
The "cost" includes every possible
item Of expense, including even the
price Of bacon and cornmeal, which
many cotton planters furnish their
negro labor.
The cost of producing the 1918-19
crop, just coming into the market will
not exceed that of the 1017-18 crop,
as the Watkins survey was made this
year, after the 1917-18 crop was pick
ed and marketed, since which time
there has been little or no increase In
any of the items Of cost. But the
1918-19 crop is being sold at over 80
cents pound. The net profit to the
cotton planter on this years cotton
crop will be very close to 200 per cent.
Yet a Democratic controlled Con.
gress refuses to fix price on cotton,
despite the fact that prices have been
fixed for products Of Northern farm
ers and products of Northern mines
and factories.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-10-29

When asked to make a statement of
views in various matters concern
ing the league he said he did not
care to do so. He was sorry 1t had
been disappointing, and still wants
the farmers to effect an organization
that shall be managed by themselves
and protect their interests.
In this last expression, Mr.. Scott
has thousands agreeing with him,
and there is more reason for them
preserving for futures than there has
ever been in the past, because there
are more farmers and they have more
at stake.

PINGREE MAN TALKING

w. H. Scott was in town Friday on
his way home from a trip to Salt
Lake with a shipment of hogs. He
was feeling pretty good, consider
ing. He said he knows we have the
best government under the sun, but
1t has its hands full in these times.
He was ready to turn of some fat
hogs last summer when the market
was 18 cents, but he followed the
government literature asking that
hogs be held and fed for fan trade,
as the government needed the meat
and wheat. He fell in line, got
some damaged wheat not suitable
for milling, fed the hogs on it, got
called up on the carpet by the food
administrator for feeding wheat,
made eplanation and was ,enone-
rated, fed his hogs till fall sold them
for less money, and when he went
to the butcher shop to buy pork for
use at home, was charged much more
than ever before. Mr.. Scott says it
puts the farmer in a bad pinch to
have the government ask them to
hold their hogs and then witness the
effort of the government to hold
down the price of pork for the army
and yet see the consumer paying
higher every week, in the face of a
falling market.
Mr.. Scott. says he regrets very
much that the farmers organization
the Non-partisan league is not prov
ing more satisfactory. He rejoices
at the progress the farmers are max
ing with the farm bureau, and was
in hopes the league would prove
worthy Of support. He Joined 1t on
their assurance that 1t was nonpoliti-
cal and some other things and he be-
lieved it would do great deal of
good, but he has given up that hope.
