The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-06-15

The outstanding danger to farm or |
carnations is that radicals may edge
into the ranks, also that there may
come entangling alliances which Will
change the trend OF the original
movement and purpose of the various
farm organizations. For example, note
what Samuel Gompcrs said at Denver
on Monday Now Mr. Gompers has
for many years ranked as conserv-
ative, as the balance wheel in fedora
ton of labor matters. But listen a
moment. His remarks were made in
his opening address before the forty
first annual convention of the feder-
alton.
Men in industry and in agriculture,
must have a closer alliance to see to
it that they shall not be crushed by
captains of industry and princes of
finance"
Can you beat that? Not in
thousand years.
Farming is business of its own;
the greatest business on the planet in
all its many and varied ramiications.
The farmer will have enough on his
hands to keep that business running
as it should be run. Outsiders will
not do his work and can not help him
prosper; nor should he have any itch
| ing to run the building trades, the
! steel and oil industries or TO mix up
in matters which do not concern him,
! in any line of endeavor, whatsoever.
/ Nor does the sensible farmer de-
! sire to.
| He is in business for himself. needs
all his capital and is responsible for
results to himself, to his family and
to his creditors. Cooperative effort
among his fellows may be the part of
wisdom and helpful TO success, but
there are alliances which he can not
afford TO even consider.
