(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, Ga., March 14.—“Current
reports to the effect that the country
is in the throes of a business slump
do not bear out my observations,” said
President Charles S. Barrett, of the
National Farmers’ Educational and
Cooperative Union of America in At
lanta recently. According to Presi
dent Barrett the country is now set
tling itself for one of the most pros
perous periods in its history.
“I have visited more enterprises
from one end of the country to the
other than ever before. I have mado
personal investigations, talked with
men at the head of enterprises and
have seen the work they are do
ing. I want to say with all the em-
phusis possible that nowhere have I
found aught to feel discouraged over.
More of these enterprises are prosper
ing and giving satisfaction than #»ver;
we have had as few, perhaps fewer,
failures than in any other time of
business endeavor.”
Great strides are being made along
cooperative lines by the farmers in
all parts of the country allied with
the National Farmers’ Union, said
ery section of the country is bein
conducted along persistent yet quiet
lines. The latest cooperative effort
of the union is the publishing of The
National Filed, a weekly devoted to
the interests of the farmer from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
St. Lawrence to the Gulf. Started a
few short months ago, the publication
is gaining momentum at an astound
ing rate. The paper is not a “money-
getter.” No one is paid to solicit sub
scriptions. At the last annual con
vention held in Salina, Kan., the mem
bers of the union authorized the pub
lication of The National Field, and
immediately backed up this action by
personally soliciting farmers every
where for subscriptions. As a result
from two to four hundred new readers
lire added to the lists daily and it will
be but a short time before The^Na
tional Field will be one of the most
influential cooperative publications in
the United States. The weekly is pub
lished in Atlanta and is attracting the
attention of publishers in every section
of the country.

COMPELLING ARBITRATION.
The pronouncement of the secretary of labor that compulsory
arbitration will not be advocated by the Department of Labor
while he is at the head of it will very naturally bring on talk.
Compulsory arbitration is such an easy answer and bounces
so buoyantly from the tongue whenever a discussion of the great
problems of strikes and industrial warfare come up, that it will
require long and patient work to convince most people that it
does not hit the hull’s eye of justice.
Secretary Wilson’s conviction that it is contrary to the spirit
of human freedom, and would be useless as a means of bringing
about industrial peace has been formed after painstaking delibera
tion and a careful questioning of its promises from various angles.
We have only to recall ex-Governor Brown’s recent remarkable
pronouncements upon this subject to find a case in point where the
idea of enforced arbitration was almost synonymous with that of
enforced service from the laboring man to the capitalist. The
public is incommoded outrageously in these strikes and industrial
wars, and it is the way of human nature to grow indignant and
act with more haste than judgment in seeking relief. The rights
and special contentions of one side or another are seldom if ever
generally grasped.
What the public clamors for is its own rights to go about its
own| business and not be hindered and obstructed. Compulsory
arbitration offers the bright prospect of a quick return to settled
conditions and order. This is what the general public wants and
all it wants. Mr. William B. Wilson, however, wants a great deal
more than this and hopes fer a great deal more. He wants to see
industrial peace and he recognizes that every bit of injustice—on
one side or the other—acts as another wedge in separating the
sympathies of labor and capital, and makes the menace of indus
trial antagonisms more and more grave.
We think undoubtedly that Secretary Wilson has sounded the
I true note of harmony in taking the position that to compel arbitra
tion violates the principle of human frcedqm. >
These labor and capital difficulties nre the outcome of forces
i which have been acting for many long years, and we may as well
face the truth and realize that there is no quick cure in sight. Not
; until a better balance of justice is established and not until—as
Secretary Wilson says—"the spirit of fair play” has been absorbed
by both capital and labor need we expect to see industrial peace.
Our political doctors, as well as our physicians, are reaching
! the same conclusion in their treatment of ailments and diseases,
‘ They look no longer for magical overnight cures, but depend upon
logical and natural causes to produce rational and desired changes.
POPULATION PROBLEMS AT PANAMA
^iti
W V

The posiible consequences that
may grow out of the opening of the
Panama Canal staggers belief. Today
the population of the world is out of
equilibrium, Europe and Asia with
its landed area possess thirteen-
lixteenths of its population, one
’our-elevenths. Once the tides of
immigration begin to flow iu such
s way as to lead'toward the equali
zation that ultimately may come
there will be inevitable changes in
the commercial map of hte world and
of the political map as well, where
Europe accommodates a population
. of 106 to the square mile and Asia
a population of 62, North America
has 16 and South America only 7.
And yet the Americas are intrisical-
Iy capable of supporting a popula
tion as dense as that of Asia and
Africa, If we assume, however, that
South America can support only half
as many people as Asia, and thst
North America can furnish a dwel
ling place for only as many as Eu
rope, we still find, the New World of
fering an abiding place for six hun
dred million people in addition to
their present population. If it ever
should come to that and international
trade grows only in proportion to
population, it would take five Pana-
me Canals to accommodate the bus
iness that would offer instead of i

is being distributed so rapidly that
the problem has ceased to be one of

of maintaining a supply to meet the

A SCHOOL FOR RURAL LEADERS
A southern states meeting of un
usual interest will be held at Louis
ville, Ky., April 7 to 10, 1914. The
object of this meeting will be to train
leaders who can go back to their vari
ous states and counties and organize
rural communities into associations
aimed at the upbuilding of country
life. Some of these organizations will
be for the production and saie of:
(1) Poultry and Eggs; (2) Vegetables
and Small Fruits; (3) Farm Products;
(4) Dairy Products; (6) Live Stock,
etc. Others will be for the purchase^ ing bent on building up our country
of farm machinery, seeds and other
supplies. Another line of work to be
given special attention will be the de
velopment of boys’, girls* and women’s
clubs. A sanitary, country home, a
new type of country school and coun
try church will be demonstrated. A
conference of country women, the first
of the kind, will grapple with the task
of making the country home an allur
ing place in which to live.
It is expected that a large number
of granges, farmers* clubs, county or
ganizations and the like will send dele-

At the same time there will be a

from the entire south to work out the

but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, 'the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able

the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. ”
If you suiter from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui

it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
