FARMER ONLY ONE
KEEPING HIS HEAD

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-The
farmers Of the country must ind the
influence that is needed to bring or
der out Of the disjointed times. de-
clared Charles s. Barrett, president
of the National Farmers Union. al
dressing the convention Of that body
today.
Capital" he said, "is perturbed,
even scared:t labor Is irritated al
most 70 the boiling point. Between
the contending elements the public
Is reduced to that condition of I'M
certainty which causes 1t to Ques-
ton where it is going to get its coal.
its food, its clothing. Confronted
with these tremendous problems and
amidst the ocean Of pent-up human
passions now raging. the farmer Is
the only man who really has his feet
on the ground.
There is feeling in Washington.
Mr.. Barrett said. that something ID
wrong somewhere, that somebody or
something has failed. and in think
ing circles there is a growing con-
viction that agriculture must be the
intercessor between the warning FAC
tons: that the farmer must stabil-
ize conditions and make his great in
fiuence felt at this time.
I'm this crisis the farmer must re-
main firmly at his post and while
refusing to surrender any rights
which are his, he should. by exam
pie and precept, exercise such an in
fuence as will tend to bring calm
ness to labor and assurance to cap
ital, at the same time making it
clear to each that nothing which
makes for Industrial progress and
commercial solidarity can be accom-
plished without the aid of agricul-
ture"
