Replying to a recent Monitor editorial, the Woodburn Independent says: "But the farmers of Oregon prefer waiting to see what will be proposed by this Farmers' Union to the North Dakota legislature before adopting the plan in this state. Too many Socialists and Sindetaxers are back of the scheme to altogether please the Oregon farmers. But "this Farmers' Union" has already pre sented its measures to the North Dakota legis onrl nil nf them that could be driven thru a reactionary senate have been adopted and are now in operation. Kegaraiess oi wnai outw, the members of any political r,n4ir rr rfffA thin k about it. it any ot tnese measures will better conditions in Oregon we should try them. Certainly, any movement to eliminate the rule ot the political uos uiu ui poration hireling has some merit. Tarlc Lait. the famous newspaper writer, aged 35, says that he can remember when street cars were pulled by horses, when telephones were rare novelties, when an airship was a crazy man's proof that he was crazy, when a submarine was a dime novel dreamer's delirium, when wireless telegraphy couldn't be, when appendicitis was acute indigestion, when ladies wore bustles, when safety bicycles had never been built, when Ford hadn't even begun to construct an automobile or no one else with any hope of making it run, when a big part of the west was lined oft in territories, when there were no moving pictures, when there were no phonographs, when men wore beards and when eggs sold for twelve cents a dozen. When we look back less than 35 years and scan the progress that the world has made in that time, we wonder what it will be like 35 years hence. William S. Scott, coal mine owner, testifying before a court of inquiry, said: "There is no limit. We get what we can. Everybody is doing that, includ ing the farmer. I am not qualified to say whether such a policy is right I am doing all I can to get what I can." We put the poor, deluded I. W. W. into jail, and in some cases mob him, while "highbrow anarchists" like Scott are permitted to rob the people unmolested. If ou are looking for the answer to the question, "Why is an I. W. W.?", you can find it in Scott's testimony. The entire world, civilized and uncivilized, with theevceotion of Germany. Austria, Bulgaria and T.,rV. lii rnnrlnrlerl to disocnse with the services of the kaiser and his immediate family, and it seems to be generally understood that the i people of the four countries named above wish they were rid of them also, but don t dare say so.
