T4 HONG KONG KOLUM mm toft&Hmw m MORE FARMERS' POLITICS A FEW days ago the dispatches 'conlaiiuid the. jiuws 1 that an attempt Would ho maue, to organize six mil lion American farmers in a co-operative movement for marketing their products. The political press mqstlv dis missed the item with the scant coinmen, that it meant an other granger uprising like the granger polities of Hie 70s or the farmers' alliance in .18,92, with the added com ment that the movements soon (Jied out. J lie plain truth is that the granger movement of the v.- mm .ikuiil mi- uppri-KKiun 01 mc railroads and lor state and federal control, and we have both today, and no sane person thinks such control will ever he abandoned except Jor government ownership. As for the farmers' alliance, most of the demands of the Ocala platform have been enacted into law. The peo ple's parly may be dead, but its principles have gone marching on from victory to victory. The co-operative movement now inaugurated is the greatest of nil farmorinovcinejts. The grain growers of the Dakotas and Minnesota have given it a trial, and suc ceeded beyond their expectations. ni. thev hurl in fin-hf '---.' -' v -sis DAUGHTERS OF LATE PRESIDENT CLEVELAND vOt yfOirSf A yJftJA -ftyfatwBfcffcdpfe1 fi t .a.

The little red schoolhouse, the farm paper and the rural telephone have wrought many changes. The average farmer today reads and knows more of politics than his city Jnend, and the surest sign is this co-operative move ment. When men agree to work together for their common good they are traveling upwai'd;' whep men work against each other for selfish benefit, they are stumbling down hill. Six miljjon farmers co-operating can change the economic life of the nation. From co-operative selline- it is but a step to co-operative buying, and from buying but another to co-operative prodticipg ydiat cannot be raised from the soil. I'Yorn co-ope rait ive creameries to co-operat'ive flour ing mills is not a far cry. If the farmers can have a co operative gram elevator, why not a co-operative sugar jaciory or a co-operanve packing house Tho American farmer is the superior in education and intellect of the farmers of any other land. He needs onlv the jifie of capital to carry the co-operative movement to its lull fruition, and he can tret the most of it from Iuk own savings deposit. If the government will help him half as mucn as u neips rue hanlcers, his independence of the financial and commercial world is at. hand. And this he is about to demand, and what he demands he gets.
