The Farmers Speak.

The doings Of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress at Haserstown. Nd,
have an interest for all whose ability
to appreciate common sense and
homely wisdom has not been per-
verted by the ultra modernisms now
in vogue. One great danger to be
guarded against is the danger OF
snap judgments. In these unsettled
times people are in the mood to be
caught by specious arguments and
are giving evidence all over the land
that they can be persuaded to act
contrary to their own interests just
because they do not take time to
think things through.
These sound-minded farmers rep
rcsenting the agricultural interests OF
the entire United States have not lost
the power to think straight and re-
fuse to be ratified. The resolutions
passed at the nnal session Of the
congress embody their opinions on
matters Of first importance to the
country. Without taking sides and
without proclaiming any "isms" this
organization which has been voicing
the wishes and opinions of American
farmers for SO years presents its
views to the world.
They declare that the short work.
ing day and the ever increasing
wages demanded by industrial labor
are the allies of the profiteer in keep
ing up the high cost of living" and
put themselves on record as opposed
to "all strikes" The resolution con-
tinues: I'VE know that the forty
four hour week cannot feed the world
and we proclaim that it cannot
clothe it. Those who advocate the
short day in industry should not ex-
pect the farmer to work six hours
before dinner and six hours after.
with before breakfast and after-sup-
per chores thrown in"
The farmers pledged their aid to
honest organized labor" but con-
demned the treason Of false leaders
who for pay and price would scuttle
the ship of state and rear the red
flag Of bolshevism over the ranks of
an outraged and fallen republic"
They recommended the adoption of
a Federal board Of arbitration that
would give both capital and labor .
square deal.
Those who advocate strikes with
out stint or limit, and those who par
ticipate in them will do well to re-
member that their ability to strike is
contingent on the steady activity Of
the farmers. Napoleon was right
when he made the remark that an
army nights on its stomach. Men
work-or strike on their stomachs.
The farmers who produce the food
hold the keys to the whole situation.
II they quit everybody quits. But
they don't quit. They don't sing the
old popular song: For Uncle Sam is
rich enough to buy us all q farm"
They know better. They know that
Uncle Sans riches have been and are
now being shamefully sQuandered
through carelessness and ignorance.
and that unless they who are closest
to the main source Of his wealth. take
care Of it Uncle Sans fortunes will
speedily decline.
When the farmers speak as clearly
as they have here they deserve to be
heard.
