(From the Minneapolis Tribune) When ‘ T am a Jim” Wilaon, that hard-headed son of Scotland, aaya any thing about the American farmer, the men of the soil are quite likely tu take notice. He was 80 yeara old a month or so ago. He began farming 56 years ago. Tie was in the cabinet of three presidents -McKinley, Roosevelt and l a f t —as secretary o f Agriculture. It is fair to presume that one of hia years has no ambition to get hack into the harnesi of public life. It also ia fair used American citizen when he de clares that upon the farmers of this country will fall the great burden of paying the $60,000,000 Dill which Presi dent Wilson and his servile congress have passed along to the people with the Adaraon law. The former cabinet member says that the farmer is willing to take his share of any fair burden, hut adds that he will get a good deal more than ia com ing to him in the matter of bill paying as a result of the operation of the Adamson act. The railways will get the *50.0000,00 from the shippers, he says, and the farmers constitute a ma jority of the shippers. The man who tills the soil will go down in his pock ets to help pay ten hours' wages for eight hours' work for that fifth o’ the railroad employes who are already re ceiving much higher wages than tha other four-fifths. He will work from sunrise to sunset. No eight hours’ limit for the farm er! "T h e farmers.” said Mr. Wilson, " a r e unorganised, unable to restrict their labor to eight hours a day,obliged to aell the produet of their labor at prices fixed by tha ordinary influence of supply and demand. It it entirely antagonistic to their interests to have a small group of men employed by the railroads allowed to fix their pay for carrying the product o f the country at the < oat of the producer! and consum er«." To other classes besides the farmers is coming home the true import of the Adamson law and the manner of ila enactment. The electorate is learning that the measure doe* not test high in human welfare ingredients, but that It does test big in political ebieanery. % The Parent-Teacher Association will meet at the Immanuel church Friday evening.
