A GREAT CRISIS NOW AT HAND
Sam Curtis Calls Attention to the
Present Outlook and Ad
vises the Farmers
To The Newark Journal
Look wliat a great calamity is
facing the world today. Devas
tating influences have prevailed
everywhere: the farms have been
flooded, the blight has ruined many
a field, the beetle and boll worm
and then comes the gold bug and
gambler to grind the producers
under their ungodly feet, dust
take a look at the farms which
were flooded for months and see
fields that have been planted two
and three times and the millions of
acres that were burned up by the
dry weather. Then look again
and you will see that the outlook
for cotton is the most serious ever
known; not cotton alone, but every
comodity that the farm produces.
I lie greatest heroes in the world
today are the farmers, who, with
their wives and little bare footed
children, have worked so faithful
ly to try to redeem the world’s
supply of food and clothing. The
cities with their teeming thousands
must be fed and the farmers are
in the battle to save the world.
But the disadvantages against the
farmers must be removed; the
cruel wrongs that allow a few un
scruplos speculators to rob the
farmer must be eradicated and the
greatest class protected and en- ^
couraged in their industry, upon
which all the world depends. Shall
the world suffer at the hands of a
few gamblers and money kings?
Shall a few men wring from the
farmers all the food upon which
all the world must be fed? There
must be an awakening along these
lines and the whole world must
rise up in deft nee of the farmers
or pay the penalty of their neg
lect. The farmer is the that to be
come aroused and they are appeal
ing to the whole world today for
recognition. A great calamaty is
facing the whole world. The price
of food is advancing and clothing
going up. Cotton is destined to
reach 20 cents per pound in a very
short, time. The gamblers are
laughing in great glee over a feast
of fat things that a nation of fools
allow them to enjoy.
I be broau of the nation can be
cornered b.v the rich gamblers as
well as cotton, and the gaunt wolf
of hunger may prowl around
your door. Like the thundering
tones of a roaring lion the Farmers
Union is calling you to arras, to
ward off the evil day. Will you
slumber and sleep while the enemy
draweth near to devour you f You
can see the conditions as they
exist. The devastated corn and
cotton fields and the riotious gam
bling in the gambling dens. There
is an evil day at hand and nothing
but tin' h rc'c work of the loyal
farmers of our nation can save us.
Now farmers you see the time has
come that we, as tillers of the soil,
must stand shoulder to shoulder
and never flinch till this great bat
tle is won. Few people honor or
recognize this mighty producer of
wealth. The world in its mad
rush after the dollar never stops
to think from whence comes the
food and rainment for all human
beings and domestic animals, but

they eat and sleep and plan to
fleece the farmer, with never a
thought of how fares the farmer.
Food and clothing are the most
esential to sustain human life, but
the farmers who feed the world
use less of the good things of life
than the idle rich who have organ
ized their dollars and brains and
have the advantage over the
farmers.
After all, the farmers are the un
crowned kings of the work! and
are only in servility to mammon
worshippers because they have
imbided the spirit capitalism.

Sale of Liquor
Little iiook, Sept. 7.—A regu
lar meeting of the executive cum
mitteeof the Inter church Temper
ance Federation was held at the
rooms of the Federation in this
city Thursday. The reports of
the superintendent and directors
were gratifying to the committee
beyond measure. The securing
of the one hundred men to stand
behind the work with $5,000 a
year was reported as completed
and other contributions were
quite liberal. Every expense was
reported paid and cash in the
treasury. The report from the
law enforcement department was
a cause for rejoicing. The de
tective force did great work at
Jonesboro and Pocahontas. At
Stuttgart the work of the men for
a month produced the evidence
upon which every blind tiger man
was convicted and made to cry for
mere.y and the marshal resigned
in response to public sentiment
for his refusal to aid faithfully in
the law enforcement.
At Cotter, one of the worst blind
tiger places in America, a great
victory was achieved by the detec
tives. Every violator was con
victed and some of the officers
forced to resign by public senti
ment.
.Lhe executive committee elected
the following named to represent j
the Federation in the national con
vention of the Anti-Saloon League
of America, which meets at Nor
folk, Va., September R> 19: Rev.
C. R. Powell, editor Arkansas
Baptist; Rev. ,T. A. Anderson,
editor Arkansas Methodist; Rev.
Frank Barrett and Hon. George
Thornburgh. Rev. E. A. Tabor,
superintendent, will go as an ex :
officio member. Two alternate
delegates were elected, Rev. J. L.
Brown of Independence county
and Hon. C. A. Bridewell of
Hope.
‘'The Federation is more
thoroughly organized and is better
shaped financially to vigorously
and successfully prosecute its
work than ever before,” is the de
claration of the president, George
Thornburgh.
