\ lE GIGANTIC
STRUGGLE
Between the Trusts And The
Tobacco Growers.
Fortunes, Food and Clothing of
Men. Women and Children
At Stake.

In the war between the American
A Tobacco Company, or socalled Tobacco
Nrrust, on one side, and the growers
of the other, Kentucky is confronted
by a crisis, which menaces law and
order, the peace and prosperity of the
people and the private fortunes OF
thousands of men. Conditions threaten
several hundred financial institutions
in the State and last but not least,
place bread, meat and scant clothing
almost beyond the reach of thousands
of Kentucky women and children.
Users of tobacco throughout the civ
ilized world, whether they be chewers
of the weed, smokers of pipes or cigar
cites or those accustomed to dipping
snuff have little idea of the tragedy,
the strife, the trumoil and the suffering
which is attending the struggle for SUI
premacy in Kentucky.
1t is struggle the result of which
will determine whether the men who
grow the tobacco shall regulate the
price of the product and force the
trust to buy it at the price they fix,
or whether the trust shall set the pric
and force the growers to dispose Of
their tobacco at the price fixed by
President Duke and his associates. 1t
is a contest of one of Americas great
est and most powerful corporations
headed by Mr.. Duke, on one side,and
about 100000 Kentucky planters, nearly
that many tenants and fully a hun
bred thousand women and children
living from hand to mouth, on the
other side.
The stake is a big one. Millions
of dollars are involved, the peace Of
the State is wrapped up in the issue,
the biggest industry Of a Common
wealth is in the jack pot and the
welfare of thousands of women and
children depend on the way the cards
are played.
Conditions in the country districts
are more serious than the people in
the cities know, for in some coun-
ties, neighbor is arrayed against neigh
Dor, kinsman against kinsman, church
congregations have been and are be-
ing disrupted and acts of violence
committed under cover of dark
ness are now threatened in the light
day. This intensity of feeling is oc-
casioned by the fact that some grow
ers will not enter the pool, and refuse
to Join hands with those who pledge
themselves not to plant in 1908. by
this position they endanger the sue
cess of the growers who are Gin" and
want to force the trust to come to
their terms.-The Louisville Times.

What the Blind Are Doing.

A blind stenographer playing on
raised keys took down with infinite
precision the appeal whcih Miss Win
fred Holt made yesterday afternoon
from the platform of the society for
Political study for public interest in
and help for the sightless.
Miss Holt, who is Secretary Of
the New York Association for the
Blind, which has found SO warm a
friend Mark Twain, based her plea
on the fact that the blind can work
and want to work.
"We must stop being blind" said
Miss Holt. THE blind say that they
can do nearly anything that we will
let them but paint pictures, and facts
bear them out. We had a pupil eight
months ago who could neither read
nor write. His sudden blindness had
driven him and his young wife to de-
spair and poverty. He now is tipping
from the photograph for a company
which is 30 well pleased with him that
It takes him to and from his work in
q motor.
when 1 asked the head Of our
telephone company to give switch
board for blind people to practice on,
he thought l was crazy. That was
year ago. l had the pleasure of writ
ing him the other day asking for the
installation of . switchboard at our
new office. and told him that there
were now In the city OF New York
five blind switchboard operators."-

IT IS EASY TO
MIX RECIPE.
Mix ii at Home by Shaking
Ingredients In Bottle.
Hundreds CT People in Vicinity
Here Will Welcome this
Advice.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article TAX
en- from a New York daily paper, Civ
ing a simple prescription, as formulat-
ed by noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive remedy
to cure almost any case of backache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, in
the following simple prescription, if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Karagon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A we'll known druggist here at
home when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless,and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, or the mixture
would be put up If asked to do so.
He further states that while this pre-
scription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and back
ache, as it has a peculiar action up
on the kidney structure, cleans
ing these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and suf-
fering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving
1t a trial.

In MemOriam.

My own respect for a noble charac-
ter, the devotion of my wife and
daughters to a woman's sweetness and
a community's widespread sorrow i'm
pei me to herald the death of Mrs.
Eva Duff as an event diminishing
the total sum of good in the world.
Mrs. Duff was the wife of Mr.. r. C.
Duff, and the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. c. Magan. She was about
twenty-one years old at the time of
her death, which resulted from COM

sorrow most because she died may
it not be lost to say that time is sor-

OKLAHOMA IN DEBT
HALF MILLION IN THE RED-TER.
RIToRiAL TREAsUReR's STATE.
MENT WAS MISLEADING

Guthrie. Okla. Dec l6.-lnstead of
having nearly sl0OO.0OO on hand at
the time OF transition from territorial
to state government. as was com
monty supposed from the statements
given out by the retiring territorial
treasurer. investigations which have
been made by Auditor rrapp show
that the territory OF Oklahoma was
over 100000 in debt a. that time,
so far as funds to pay current ex.
penses were concerned, and of course
the Indebtedness has been piling up
at an enormous rate since statehood
became effective.
The statement issued by Treasurer
Rambo at the time the territorial
funds were turned over to the state
showed that there was to the credit
of Oklahoma 1892 .56103 No mention
was made, however, of the fact that
there were warrants outstanding TO
the amount of $3.50 1866. which
would leave the territory only $4,000
to the good altogether. Furthermore
Of the total amount turned over
s574.l3937 was in the public build
ing fund. which cannot ne touched
for any other purpose. and the
amounts Ia the funds which can be
drawn upon at this time aggregated
only s35s. .427.66. All of the outstand
ing warrants were of course against
these funds. which would leave de.
ficit of s523.9291O.
Some of the various educational
institutions are still in fairly good
shape. and when their funds are elm.
mated the situation looks still worse.
At the time of the, transfer the gen.
eral revenue fund. from which all
Of the general expenses of admins
tration must be paid, contained only
s5i,93l4l, and the outstanding war.
rants against that fund amounted to
$685.. .5G17S. which MEANS deficit OF
$500. .G3O37.

The only act In his whole official
career, either before or after his
occupation of the gubernatorial

any light on this matter m his veto
OF the two-ccnt fare bill passed by

that tie railroads of New York state
work one of the richest railroad

railroads apparently best able to
sustain fair and liberal charge for

of Governor Hughes very significant
as side light into his political

Inference that can be drawn from
this act is one that places the gov
