UNION’S GROWTH IS MARVELOUS Contlnuad from Pago On.. ate and to factful as the farmers of America. "And yet I feel that I should be less than loyal to you and to myself If I did not challenge your self-respect and your Individual and professional pride In the magnificent advance which your great representative organization has made among the coherent forces of the world. There Is not today In the re public In which we live any one body of men engaged In a single profession whose motives are so clear, whose plans are so coherent, whose unity Is so perfect and Inspiring, and whose numbers are so magnificent as the Farmers’ Union of America. "It Is utterly Impossible to believe that such an organization could have been founded out of such element, upon any other basis than that of wisdom and Justice and truth, and the fact that we aro today, as we are, foremost among tho organizations of the repub lic In which xve live. Is a'Joint proof of the wisdom and the forecasting Judg ment of tho principles upon which we are founded, and of tho Intelligent loy alty and splendid fidelity of the great body of the people whom we repre sent." In closing his address, Mr. Barrett said: 'And In this great organization In which all sections are.mingled on equal terms, and In which there Is In fact and In theory no North, no Soutl), no East and no IVest, let us resolve that we will In all the regions of country from which we come preserve the Ideals of good citizenship and the honor of the government, and that we shall so live and so labor and so legislate that the time eholl never come when we shall blush to look upon the flag of our country or fall to realize that lie stars and Its stripes wave above an honest, a united and a patriotic peo ple.

To inustrate, in effecting-this harmony and organi sation. It was necessary for me to (which I have) travel, more than thlr- ty-flvejthousand miles. This, of Itself, has cost money, but I am glad to say that the expense Is but a small Item when considered from the viewpoint of the great good that hns been done In effecting organization and bringing all factions to terms of organic unity. Therefore. I feel Justified In making this prophecy, that henceforth, we will have no reason for any more dlsscn- lons among us, and that the condi tions now will warrant a less expendl- money In the future In effect ing our work."

There Is slight chance for his recovery, the physicians at Bellevuo Hospital say. The three men had systematically blackmailed Clro Arrobone, a Wealthy barber, and he finally appealed to the police.

Another 3100,000 for the court house would make the rate about 65 cents. Tho act passed by the legislature en ables the county to call a bond elec tion for 3300,000 In bonds. However, It Is hardly believed that- this would carry, as the registration this year was unusually large, owing to the prohibi tion agitation, and It would be dlfil- cult to bring out a two-thirds vote. Then the county commissioners can hardly wait until in election is called, held and decided before fixing the tve rate. Direct taxation for a period of three years seems to be the most likely method, although the opinions of the commissioners nro not known. One of them stated that he had not Investi gated the matter. This would Indicate that thero will be several meetings before the rate Is finally fixed.
