If Jhe living world is to achieve
a better order, or if it is to re-
main where it Is, the matter
must be effected by political
rnea8Urea, and all words and
Ideas are of no avail. To act
politically is to pass from dreams
to things, from the abstract to
the concrete.
Politics is the effective work-
ing out of social thought; poli-
tics is life.
If we admit any sort, of con-
nection between theory and prac-
tice, we must take our part in
political life.
If th?re is a worker or a
farmer in Oklahoma not yet |
convinced that political meth-i
ods, political action, or in short,
politics, is his way to a higher
life, to a belter order, he should
read these words of Barbusse. j
The Farmer-Labor League is;
steadily gaining in strength.
It is now or never that we must

that the halls of congress and j
