The protest of the American Seed
Merchants association, recently in
session, illustrates the quickness with
which government competition will
arouse vigorous protest from private
interests which may be effected.
Whether or not the protest will make
any difference with the annual distri-
button of seeds produced by the de-
partment Of agriculture remains to be
seen. This free seed distribution has
in the past been the subject of much
humorous comment, though until re-
Gently it has not been taken seriously.
1t was used mainly to tickle the po-
litical soil in doubtful congressional
districts in the hope Of making them
more faithful in votes, and the general
value and their distribution is be-
coming an enterprise of considerable
magnitude it is but natural that the
seed men should object.

We desire too say few words to
the farmers and ranchcrS in this
county. The hay crop throughout
the valley promises an unusually
heavy yield this season. But we adj
wise those who have hay to sell. to be
very careful not TO sell themselves
short. The lesson taught last winter
in the shortage of hay. ought not to
be repeated this fall and winter.
Many sell hay in the early fall, at low
fall prices; long hard winter follows,
with the result that these same
parties have sold more than they
ought to have done and would be glad
to purchase back at double the price
for which they sold in the fall even
though they were compelled to Dor
row the money. Such lessons come
high, but men, it seems, must learn
by experience. 1t would he well to
avoid a repetition of last winters
experience.

charitable lunch party to the poor OF

the number of invitations. and the re.

order among the jewellers. There were
no two opinions about the success OF
the function. The guests to a man

Statement From the Chief Executive
of BeIleviile, Illinois.

In answers to criticisms of his
action in not using more forcible
means to disperse the mob which
lynched the negro. Wyatt. at Belle

Kern said:
1T is true that l requested the Off
GERS not to use their guns. did so
after careful reflection. | was con-
WINGED in my judgment that to do so
would not stop the citizens in their
determination to get Wyatt, but that
such a course simply would fan the
flame of their insane fury. | was CON
WINGED that to do so would precipi-
tate a battle. | was convinced that
many citizens would be killed or
manned in the encounter.
II did not want to see innocent
= blood flow on account of the guilty
wretch in the jail. He was not worth
the sacrifice which would have fol-
lowed and which would have been
simply awful to contemplate in its
fearful scope.
The officers did their full duty.
They arrested the assassin. They
locked him up in one Of the strongest
and most modern Jaiis in this or any
other country. They exhausted their
possibilities in defending the prison
err They could not be asked to kill
and lay down their own lives to save
a murderer. The men actually on the
ground were the best judges of the
critical situation.
you ask me who is to blame for
the lynChing. The negro. Wyatt. who
came into this community armed and
with murder in his craven heart is to
blame for it. The negro, Wyatt. who
tried to murder the county superin-
tendent of schools is to blame for it
first and last.

not wish to be understood to condone
the offense of the mob. But there
was a reason for the fury which
