The beauty and harmony of nature coining so constantly in touch with them should beanrify and strengthen their characters and cause them to become a benediction to man kind. Many of them cannot attend any of our great colleges or uni versities but yet they have an op portunity of drinking at a greater fountain of knowledge than these —the University of Nature. The babbling brooks, the whistling winds, the bursting seed, the rip ening fruit, all have many lessons that make us the wiser and bet ter. Surely farmers have been blessed in a special manner. Not a Regnlator. While the press has been espec ially kind to the Farmers’ Union and sparing in harsh criticisms it would seem from expressions made by some writers that some are yet laboring under wrong impressions as to the work of the organiza tion. So it might be well lor the benefit of the readers of the Mon itor to state right here that while the Union has a broad spirit of concern for the welfare of man kind and eacli individual member may give such attention to poli tics, uninfiuenced by the organi zation, as he may feel inclined, th" Farmers’ Union is not at tempting to regulate the govern mental machinery of tin- country. The organization was not in tended by its broad-minded found-' ers to be a political party. -The Union must steer clear of partisan politics. The Farmer as a Citizen. Why should not the farmer be of equal standing with men of any and every calling and profes sion? Does his calling unfit him in any way for being a citizen in the broadest and truest sense? Whv does not the farmer shan equal dignity with men of other callings and professions ? Has the world denied this to him? These and other such questions 3 o'®e'e:®::©',©'©' By It Prof. J. M. DAVIS p © ; C.I.EXVVOOD, HA. 0 s®:®'®©"®;©:© © are very interesting. They bring , us face to face with very grave j I issues. As a matter of fact in every re lation the farmer should be of j equal standing with men of any I and every profession —outranked in dignity by none. His calling I from its very nature encourages ’ him to be thoughtful but conserv jative and aggressive but cautious | ami practical not theoretical. ■ I These are the sterling qualities i that go to make up a man's fitness .! for admission into the legislative; • | assemblies throughout our coun-j . i'jry. Farmers should share equal-j I v according to their numbers wit h • men of other calling and proles-j stons in filling offices from jury I revisor to the highest office in our. country. The reason why such is not the j case today is not difficult to un-j derstand. There has always been! such a demand for educated men ! m the professions in our country that men who we r e fortunate enough on t he farm to get an edu cation at once and left and joined j Ahose in the professions who had gone on to what appeared to be j I more inviting fi‘-ids. The demand! | for educated men in the profes sions has never been supplied to such an extent that educated men have as a rule drifted to the farms. | This has taken educated men from the farms and put them in the professions. The farmers have never as a rule kept abreast with men in the professions. Farmers i must go to men in the professions, | for needed information. They do not keep posted, professional men do. .So when a man is needed to till an office of any kind where edu cational qualification is required the man to fill such an office is very seldom looked for on the j farm. In fact if a farmer enters the tiice for any office where edit- j cational qualifications are needed 1 one of the strongest arguments j that can usually be used against ■ j him is that he is a farmer. Every ij body knows what that means. | That a sad state of affairs ex ists and one requiring heroic t rent- THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. APRTF 2. 1008. i * merit no one will deny. To abuse' men in the professions and accuse the world of mistreat ing tlm farm er—the honest son of toil—will bo I apparent to all. An agrieultural millenium will dawn upon the earth and great changes will come about. If the farmers were in condi tion to look after their interests j i properly gambling exchanges; ' would ho pul out of business.
