A Declining Party
Edmonton Journal (Ind. Cons.):
(Commenting on the decrease in mem-
bership of the United Farmers of
Alberta, Mr. Woods said: "No struc-
ture is safe after its foundation has
crumbled.") Of this there can be no
doubt and the good wishes of the great
raaeinrity of the people of the province
will go wit hthe °Mincers in whatever
course they take to arrest the down-
ward movement. The U. F. A., in its
original scope, accomplished much in
improving the position of the farmers
and through them in enhancing the
general prosperity of Alberta. It
would be a misfortune if it should con-
tinue to have its ranks depleted. One
would think that the opposite result
would follow the success that has been
achieved in the commercial and poli-
tical fields. ,
