chat our people do not take the lessons
they learn at such bitter cost to them
selves more deeply to heart The life Of

years has been anything but bed Of

little understand what this means until
they realize that the mines must be con-
stanty pumped out to prevent flooding
and it is an astounding fact that for
every ton of coal taken out of mine,
tons of water are pumped out at great
cost.
"The mine owner is in the unenviable
position of having to decide whether he
will spend from $4,000 to $4,000 a
month to keep his property pumped out,
or allow it to food and take six months to
pump it out when the time comes again

the mines, of course, can be speeded up

A FARMERS STRIKE

What is happening in the country
now indicates that certain classes be-
lieve that they are right when they
use merciless weapons to get what
they want regardless how serious the
effect will be on the nation as a
whole. That brings us to the farm
ers, The farmers are not organized,
but they will not remain so. AS
every other class is organized and
gets. its demands, the farmers will
soon realize that they must get to-
gether to protect their interests.
When they do they too can strike
and when they strike a merry old
strike 1t will be.
Suppose the farmers demand high
er prices for their hogs, cattle and
grain and better shipping facilities
from the railroads. The unions
might refuse to grant them and the
government might ask the farmers
to wait. But IL the farmers do as
did the steel workers and the miners
they will select the best time to
quit. They can refuse to sell the
products of their farms. II the
farmers do that 1t will not be long
before the cities will be without
food.
But other classes might be better
organized and might have control Of
the government They might con-
fiscate the farmers wealth. Lenine
and Trotzky had an organization
something on that order. but that
was in Russia.
The farmer could beat even such a
scheme II he had strong organiza-
ton in the hands of shrewd men.
Suppose the farmers we're discrim-
mated against. Suppose they get 1t
into their heads that they were en-
titled to more wealth and so on. Sup
pose they thought that other classes
wanted to deprive them Of their
property rights. The farmers
could then use very dangerous
weapon.
They could decide that during a
certain year they would raise only
enough for themselves. That would
bring about very befuddled mess
of affairs.
One spring morning you would
read that the farmers would strike
for the year. There would be con-
ferences and discussions. but the
days of planting and sowing would
be slipping away. Before the con-
ferences would be over the spring
season would slip by. Before the
country organize to put the crops
in in spite of the farmers II would
be too late for those who do not
know how to farm to try farming
very suddenly.
In the meantime the farmers

Jasper county Mem Caught

A dictaphone hidden in the wall of
a room at the Franklin hotel on
the night OF November 9TH recorded
a conversation which led to the ar
rest for arson since last Saturday of
ten leading men of Jasper county,
H. M. Havner, attorney general, re-
vealed Monday night.
Practically all the men accused
of participation in the arson ring
have sworn to signed confessions
which are now in the hands of the
attorney general and state agents
who secured the information which
led to the arrests.
The arrests followed a reign of
terror among Dutch farmers in
Jasper county which lasted for more
than a year, and was marked by the
burning of between twelve and
fifteen schools, churches, homes and
barns of the Hollanders in an effort
to drive them from the county.
