that of the industries. The capitalists
few in number represent the self salts
fed and ultra conservative group while
labor organizations contain large num-
bers, many of which are uneducated,
credulous, class conscious with for
elgn ideals and extrem ely radical
tendencies Capitalism, in alb solute con-
troll, is selfshness persOnified, and
sows the seeds of revolution. Labor
placed in power is even more unrea-
sonable and dangerous to civilization.
If unrestrained it will bring forth a
harvest of blood and fame 1t is dan
gerouS to allow either of these groups
to control
The farmers are the basic producers.
They are both capitalist and labor,
both consumer and producer and vi
tally affected by the struggles Of hte
capitalist and labor. They represent an
industry the largest number, the most
widely scattered, the most independ-
ent in spirit and the most difficult
group to mould into an effective per-
manent organization.
The Farm Bureau is new in prin-
ciple. 1t is an institution neither pub
lie nor private, but mixture Of both,
that will function in the county, state
or national organization. It has vital
connections with the u. s. department
of agriculture and the state agricul-
tural colleges. 1t enjoys the active,
sympathetic cooperation OF the coun-
ty agents, college extension workers,
and other business interests.
The Farm Bureau has a treasury of
IS own, and appropriates the funds IN
any manner deemed advisable 1t is
absolutely free from dictation Of any
other organization, corporation or
business.
The Farm Bureau is fun damentally
sound. The leadership in the county,
state, and national units are carefully
chosen, representing success ful, pro-
gressive, conservative, clear thinking
and progressive farmers. They are
working in a sane, careful way in the
solution of the farmers problems. In
formation from every source precedes
action.
The Farm Bureau is not a class-Con-
Scious organization. All individuals
and groups and organizations OF ev-
cry character are accorded the right
to live and share in the worlds pros
perity on this basis. 1t is constructive,
not destructive. Carefully laid plans
requiring time and patience are being
worked out. 1t is the greatest cooper
alive organization ever started, 1t does
not seek to dictate, to displace or to
destroy, but stands ready when call
ed upon to put its force back Of any
worthy work or movement.

to Washington to demand something
to be done, to change the rates, put
the boats hauling wheat and release
the cars for hauling other farm prod
ucts. The railroad officials smiled and
said it was impossible. Gray Sylver
says, You either do it or the Farm
Bureau will tell the farmers of Amer
lea that you refuse and why"
Two days later the railroads, OF
their own volition, went to interstate
commerce commission and asked that
rates be adjusted to the basis of per-
hitting a competing water rate, not
only this, but a differential rate. The
boats are back in service on the lakes
The railroads asked an increase in
freight and passenger rates; the total
would have been far greater than the
| 81, 500,000,000 granted and you would
have a heavier burden than you now
carry. But the American Farm Blu
reau Federation appropriated funds to
investigate, and retained the services
of Clifford Thorne to represent it at
the hearing before the interstate COM
merce commission with the result OF
big saving to farmers and other

alton persuaded the federal reserve
board to direct banks to accept Stor-
age Warehouse receipts for wool or
wheat as collateral on loans. Follow
ing its presentation of facts, the board
deposited $30,000,000 in the middle
west banks to finance the moving OF
the grain crop.
The Farm Bureau secured one-half
million dollars to fight the corn borer.
1t prevented other interests from Sc
curing very valuable cotton lands. It
saved the entire county agent system
from being wrecked. 1t spoke the word

 it Is fair presumption that they

 Almost hidden from notice in the re- ports of the trial Of the officer who di- rected the actual sinking of the hospi- tai ship were words of the judge that indicate what 'excuse" will be found for those under whose commands he acted.
 He was acquitted because he was obeying orders: he was doing his duty. declared she court: he was not to blame And it was at this point that the judge remarked that the said orders were. in the opinion of the judge. ''justifiable. ''
 If the time ever comes when the court will explain what Justified orders that shocked to the roots the heart of the civilized world-orders so outrageous that one Is not able to conceive of the mind cruel enough to give them-it will say that the hospital ship was out side the line of travel allowed it, was carrying munitions. or will resort to the general excuse of "all's fair in war" mere excuses all.
 The words of the judge in that case prepared the way for the acquittal of the Germans "higher up in such a subtle. characteristically German man. ner. that many failed to notice .he sig nificance.

F. ". GALBRAITH.

The death of F. w. Galbraith, Ma tional Commander of the American Legion, will shock the hosts of the American Legion who looked to him as leader in whom its afflicted and wounded members have found d strong champion. it's stalwart mem bcrs a strong advocate that justice be done them in material ways.
 His death will shock all ex-service men, members of the Legion or not, who feed sypathy for those who fought and came away crippled or otherwise harmed who feel that they need a wise guide and counselor such as this man has shown himself to be.
 Sorrow and regret will come from the sad news to all loyal Americans who knew of him as one we'll fitted by experience and temperament to repre- sent the interests of ex-service men with justice toward them, with mod eration in his demands. for them. upon those who were not numbered among those for whom he worked.
 With a power such as the American Legion Is destined to become back of a man. 1t is difficult for him to refrain from allowing anything of. selfish, political influence to affect his actions.
 Tn the late Colonel Galbraith lay that quality which would have pre- vented the arising of this lamentable condition. When the living. the strong were clamoring for material assist ance at the hands of the government, he never forgot that the Govern ments first duty was to those who had suffered physically because of their participation in the war. That they should be we'll cared for was his first thought: all else-and there was much ''else''-could wait.
 strong man personally. he had never been active in politics, devoting his time, rather, to civic betterment in the city where he lived. The fire of interest" that was and would con- tinue to be aimed at him to influence him. made no more impression upon this Commander of the Legion than did the fire of the Germans when he led his regiment through the lines, earning the title of the fighting colonel"
 It will be hard to fill his place Those who mourn his death may feel the comfort of knowing he has blazed the straight. strong, understanding way which the American Legion will follow as it grows in it's power for the things that are best.
