ington do not anticipate anything like
complete success for the plans to
merge union labor and the farmers
into one political organization. But
the most of them are of the opinion
that the movement to organize the
farmers alone is a matter that merits
close attention of those engaged in
the game of politics.
It can be readily seen thr.t the
Farmers’ Non-Partisan League is a
strong and threatening organization,
probably better organized than any
of the similar movements which have
arisen before. The very fact that it
has gained so much already is like-
ly to be but a stimulant to new ef-
forts and new demands.
There are of course seeds of dis-
cord in the league, political ambi-
tion and jealously, conflicting inter-
ests and conflicting views, which may
wreck it, as similar organizations
have been wrecked before; but that
most of the program to date has bee*
successful, whether it rises or falls,
cannot now be doubted in the light
of recent developments.

60VERNMENT
BY FARMERS
(Bpecial to The Herald.)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 7—Ef-
forts of the Fanners’ Non-Parti-
san League, a militant organiza-
tion originating in North Dakota,
to bring about k combination of
the farmers and union labor for
political purposes, are causing
some of the party leaders in
Washington to sit up and take
notice^ It is now recognized by
all that the work of organizing
the farmers has made such
stride in the last year that the
Non-Partisan League will be forc-
ed to the front politically in a
number of states, and that even
if the league does not carry the
next primaries or elections and
secure the offices it will never-
theless be able to compel the poli-
ticians to adopt its views on cer-
tain agricultural and economic
questions.
A combination of the farmers and
union labor would result in a formi-
dable organization. If the combina-
tion should win—and the indications
are that it would be able to secure
pretty nearly all it wanted in some
of the states—the country is likely
to see far more radical legislation in
the line of sociaism than ever before.
Similar movements have been start-
ed by the farmers before, sometimes

political, as in the case of the popu-
lists, sometimes agricultural, as In
the case of the Farmers’ Alliance;
and where they failed of complete
success they so cut down the major-
ity of the republicans or democrats
as to force the dominant party to
adopt seme of their planks.
The farmers think, and correctly,
too, that they are stronger today than
ever before. Conditions are regarded
as more favorable for the movement
because of the present disturbed
condition of affairs in general, as a
result of the war, and the general
trend toward co-operation and gov-
ernmental control. Conditions the
past few years have united the farm-
ers and they have begun to see the
advantage of organization for politi-
cal as well as other purposes. An
Idea of the political power seeming-
ly in their grasp has been impressed
u;.on them by the election results in
North Dakota, the state in which thev
are best organized. In the last gen-
eral election the Farmer?’ Non-Par-
tisan league in North Dakota cap-
tured virtually complete control of
state affairs, and more recently they
have scored another victory by elect-
ing their candidate, John Baer, to
congress.
The Non-Partisan league move-
ment has spread from North Dakota
to the neighboring states. Recent-
ly Its organizers have carried their
activities as far east as New York.
When the legislatures in many of
the states assemble next month the
farmers are going to be more insist-
ent than ever before that certain laws
for their benefit be enacted. With the
lincrease in the membership and
strength of the Non-Partisan League
the demands of the organization are
expected to become more and more
emphatic. And the organization is
likely to get more of its demands, for
the politicians and office-holders as
a rule will grant anything that will
prevent the development of a new
party or faction on class bases.

Maude Adams Is

Ai ams is one of the actresses who
be lieves in doing her bit to help the
nation at war. Hr activities are be-
ing directed especially toward mak-
ing life pleasanter for the boys in the
service. During a three weeks’ en-
gagement recently concluded in Bos-
ton Miss Adams established a new
high record for the distribution of
free tickets to her performances.
Every night during the engagement
several score of soldiers from the
Charlestown navy yard or soldiers
from the near-by jampe and barracks
saw the “show" at Miss Adams' ex-
pense. Not only were the tickets dis-
tributed free, tut the actress paid the
war tax on “each and every one of
them out of her own pocket. The war
tax alone on the tickets thus given
away amounted to more than $150.
