PAUL, MINN, WILL DO THE ONLY EXCUSE “The politician who pulls a long face and sympathizes with the farmer, at election time only,” Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota said recently, “is moved by some other con- sideration than sympathy. His motive is as lack- ing in altruism as that of Mose, a negro lad. ; “Mose and Ras- tus were precari- ously seated on a log . overhanging a river, fishing. Rastus got a bite, became excited, and fell over before he could land his fish. Mose dropped his line as Rastus sank, rose to the surface and sank again, and dived after his unfortunate play- mate. “After a tussle, Mose managed to drag the dripping Rastus ashore in . : time to receive the praise from the white preacher who had watched the episode. “‘That was a heroic effort, my boy,” said the preacher warmly, ‘you certainly must love your brother to risk your life for him in that way.’ “‘Aw,” Mose re- . 2 plied, ‘he ain’t ma brudder and Ah doan’ love him.’ “‘Then why did you risk your own life to save him?’ demanded the puz- zled divine. “‘He dun carried all the bait with him when he fell in the watah,’ Mose explained gloomily.” Lynn J. Frazier *OUR OWN FARMER GOOSE Mary, Mary quite contrary, How does your garden grow? Each bean and each vine is doing just fine, But the middlemen get all the dough. : ] Tom, Tom, the piper’s son, Stole a pig and away he run, But Tom wouldn’t run if he were here, He'd be a respected profiteer. The “100 per cent American” is a piker these days. The profiteers have shown the way to become “200 per cent Americans”—200 per cent profit. Don’t ask special privilege to let the people go, as Moses did at first, but go.. That’s what the Israelites finally had to do. ; DOCKAGE OUR OWN DEFINITIONS Politician—A man who believes the world ‘owes him a living and asks other people to help him collect it. Profiteer—A man who tries to har- vest $5 where the farmer grew $1. Faith—The belief that the loose suspender button in the back will hold until you get back home. H Reactionary—A man who doesn’t believe anything can be done until somebody else does it, Fiction—The belief that the farm- ers are getting the money that goes into high prices. Bolshevik—A man who doesn’t agree with what the interests want him to believe. Most of the worrying about the.ig- norance which some of our new citi- zens show of the constitution and laws, is done by interests who continuously preach violation of them to defend special privilege. The important breaches of law and order made in _ Minnesota, South Dakota, New York City and other places were not made by men ignorant of the constitution - and the laws. : If you are a little finicky about what you call the anti-farmer politicians and press agents, why not make"it.. terminological inexactitudinarian. The term means exactly what you have in mind. But then, why not use plain English on this breed of pups?_ Most of those stories about the “wicked” Nonpartisan league are like incubator chickens—apparently unable to call any one papa or mamma. When they are hatched, the Twin Cities press takes them up and gives them a start in life. - Henry Dubb says he’s afraid of the Nonpartisan league, because he thinks it will increase taxes. Henry lives in a state where the League is in the minority. He hasn’t yet seen his tax statement for this year. Minneapolis millers are aceusing the farmers of “speculating.” Well, the consumers are “speculating”: too —speculating on how they’re going to pay the prices the millers “are charging for flour. John Baer says that with round steak selling at 58 cents a pound in Washington, he can see how Jim Mann could afford to trade his chances for the speakership for a good-sized sirloin. The only réason why some small- town small fellows are still running around knocking the League farmers and organized labor, is that the nuts can not pick themselves. -THE POET AND THE FARMER : : The poet is a funny bird, he weaves a little song, and tells the folks that read his stuff that life’s not wholly wrong. He dwells upon the carefree life our rustic brothers lead, no troubles bother him at all—if you swallow all you read. This poet lad will tell you how he rises in the morn, and with a carol on his lips goes out to hoe the corn. You’d think by what this poet says this hoeing corn’s a joke, he never men- tions that you hoe until your back is broke. He makes a little flourish when he speaks about the cow, he never tried to milk one or he’d think diff’rent now. And then he goes along to tell, how when the day is done, the farmer quits his honest toil with the sinking of the sun. But he forgets, or never knew, as in the clouds he soars, that when the farmer quits the fields, he has to do the “chores.” In fact, you never would believe that this was work, forsooth, but when you are a poet you don’t have to tell the truth. » ¢ : b ' Owned and | CONSIGN I Controlled by l YOUR Farmers: The Equity Co—Op%ratiVe Exchange_ MINNESOTA TRHANSFER ST.
