FAMOUS EDITOR’S VIEWS

The following article was written by the famous editor of the Eastern Magazine, who makes a careful analytical comparison of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hughes, and asks the German-Americang who are inclined to doubt Mr. Wilson, to think twice before acting; ‘There is nothing subtler than class influence. The world ig full of people who think they are progressive but can nearly always be found on the reactionary side when it comes to a crisis. I don’t object to the existence of these people; indeed, they include a large percentage of my friends. “They derive a strong satisfaction from their imaginary progressiveness. and, though they are dangerous to the welfare and happiness of the masses, they are agreeable persons. The nomination of Mr. Hughes gave this class a splendid opportunity to he reactionary under .the most respectable auspices. “Nothing was ever more absurd than to suppose that Hughes and Wilson belong in the same category. Wilson is an imaginative, determined, sensitive and growing force. 'He did not bother much in his earlier years about the great system of privilege, which is what the masses are blindly struggling against. “When he became president of Princeton, however, and tried to see that the poor boy in that college got something like an even chance with the rich boy, he ran up against the ‘system’ for fair. After a desperate struggle it defeated him by a hair. “He then became governor of New Jersey and saw that the difficulty in the state government was essentially the same difficulty he had met at Princeton. He fought the ‘system’ through two terms and thoroughly beat it, with the finest liiliain and 'iTanna?/ re '

to progress on the road toward meeting those needs. Hughes’ mind contains nothing of that sort of insight; reading his speeches is enough to show it. * “Wilson has ideas about democracy in Europe after the war. If Hughes has any ideas about Europe, except the attempt to keep the German vote, I do not know what those ideas are. If he has any ideas about Mexico, except the protection of the larger foreign investors, I have not found any such ideas in his speeches. “If his vague and empty comments on domestic affairs mean anything, they mesa, that he wants to go back to the tariff of Mark Hanna, and presumably to the currency of Aidrich. American people will never stand for that long, so if Hughes Is elected this country merely faces another period of violent agitation. “The one topic on which Mr. Hughes has been able to remain stirred up for some weeks is the Adamson bill. He and T. R. feel

bad because they say the President yielded to pressure, and t, R. cries out that nobody could ever hare coerced him. It took representatives of J, P. Morgan, & Co. and the steel trust just twenty minutes ot coerce T. R. wbpj. a threat of a panic into authorizing a step toward still more complete monopoly by the purchase of the Tennessee Coai & Iron company. “If Wilson was coerced, he was coerced into applying to the railroads a principle already widely accepted by the American people. Mr. Hughes naturally leaves out of his speeches the fact that the Republicans in the senate did not debate the matter and that the majoriy of the Republicans in the house voted for the Adamson bill, while Hughes never opened his month until it was all ovter. “He also leaves out the fact that the President recommended this w as part of a total program protecting ug against tie-ups in the future. And he likewise leaves out the fact that this Adamson law is for a limited period, during which time we are to get, through practice, the best possible evidence of the working of the eight-hour principle; evidence infinitely superior to the so-called investigation ahead, which is merely guess-work. "This brings me to the farmer. The reactionaries always go on the idea that farmers and laboring men are fools. They think that the laboring men; in spite of the Clayton act, the seamen act, and the Adamson law, will not know enough to act as a body for the support ,of an administration which has done more for them than any other administration ever did. “They think that the farmers can be made to forget the effect of the currency act on their credit facilities; to forget the rural credits act; to forget the unexampled contribution to their welfare by the dell partment of agriculture during Secretary Houston's administration, , and be stampeded with the idea that the eight-hour law works against them.”

PROGRESSIVE FARMERS

The farmer of twenty-five years ago would probably confess to some bewilderment were he to attend the sessions of the Farmers’ National congress now assembled in. this city. He would hear, to begin with, some technical discussions which, .in [ his own day and age, he •usually i scoffed at as being the products of i theory rather than of experience. But he would observe that the farmer delegates of the present time not only listen attentively to what 1 the scientists have to say, but, what is more to the point, understand thoroughly what they are talking about. He would observe, 100, from the testimony of the practical tillers of the soil, that theory and practice nowadays are no longer as far apart as they were in days not yet so remote that they can not be readily recalled. "Farming the Air,” extracting nitrogen from the atmosphere by means of clover, alfalfa and legumes, “The Recovery of Sulphate of Ammonia”—these are subjects that the farmer of a generation j ago, if he heard of them at all, ignored. They were too “fanciful.” • But the members of the Farmers’ National congress listen to discussions of them today with interest, sympathy and understanding. They know from actual test what profit lies in a knowledge of all their details. Then, too, the farmer of yesterday would probably be surprised to note that the farmer of today is taking a deep interest in matters •'that are less closely associated with ■*t.he actual business of forcing a living from the soil. • He would hear, for example, lec- • tures by experts on such subjects as ;,national control of water power, oforestry, sanitation, improved living tconditions, federal reserve banks and rural credits. And he would 'hear a great deal more than he 'heard in his own day about better roads, and what they mean to the farmer individually and to the community at large. His wife, at the same time, would be attending a congress of her own. where she would hear experts discuss various phases of domestic economy, from saving farm waste to feeding the farmer’s family. These programs speak for themselves. They show that the farmer of the new generation is a man of progress, keeping abreast of the times. They show that making a living from his fields is not by any means the only motive that gives direction to his reflections and his enterprises. They prove, in other words, that he Is living a broader life.—lndianapolis News.
