Evening Session.

The evening session of the Society
had been thoroughly advertised as the
citizens meeting, and special ar
rangements had been made to give
the information about the society,
that would make its principles and
object plain. There were very few
citizens present however, and their
absence was deplorable. The City
Band did not appear as announced,
because Of the fact that they were not
given sufficient notice, and their en-
gagement was postponed until tonight
n. C. Crawley, was the speaker of
the evening and he outlined the work
of the American Society of Equity.
In logical and clear manner he
showed how the farmers of America
were the only class of business men
that were not combined or affiliated.
for the advancement and protection
of their business. This, he maintained
was the reason that the farmers of
America were at the mercy of the
inscriptions commission men and
board of trade manipulators. This
lack of organization was responsible
for the manner in which they were
continually preyed upon by these
stock jugglers and middlemen. The
farmer was the wealthy producer of
this and every country, and the
wealth that the farmer creates is the
reason for graft. The American
Society of Equity was designed to
remedy this condition, and in the end
the merchant, the manufacturer.
they as well as the farmer would be
better off. This society seeks not to
destroy any mans business, but rather
the cooperation OF any man of bust
ness who is honest and interested that
the education of the farmers in
was incomplete. He did not
want to be understood as opposite the
but he did not believe that
it was well to educate the farmers
how to produce more crops unless the
of how to sell them was
taught also. Under the law of supply |
and demand, it has been shown in

thel light of recent statistics, that the
greater the crop the less the financia
return to the wealth producers. In
the light of these facts, the institute
was more injurious to the farmer
than it was of good.
He also scored in no uncertain
terms the government crop report,
and appealed to every farmer present
to urge their representatives to have
this report done away with. There
was no one that could do so much
harm as he who is thought to be a
friend. The farmers of this country
believed the report in his friend, but
the experience of last year was enough
to convince him that this report was
the enemy of the farmer. Through
it board of men were enabled to fleece
the farmers of millions of dollars, and
rob them of their very sustenance.
1t was not only a shame but crime,
and to illustrate the stand he took
the related recent history in connec-
ton with this report. The speakers
remarks at this juncture were vocifer-
ously applauded.
He stated that the purpose of the
society was to rectify these conditions
and enable the farmer to make his
own price for his products, the same
as every other class of business or pro-
fessional men made the price for their
labor.

fetched, in view of the fact that the
railroads are charging the national
government over three times as much
for carrying the mails as they receive
from the express &C mpanieS for a
similar service. A simple problem in
subtracting will show that the ex-
cessive charge for mail over express,
less the annual postal deficit, will not
only wipe out the said deficit, but will
result in handsome surplus to the
postal department. IT this was done

1t has been stated by those who
have carefully Investigated the sub
ject, that Uncle Sam is paying the
railroads Of this country S32, 900, 900
more for carrying its mail than the
express companies pay for an equal
tonnage. In other words, the average
rate for hauling over hundred pounds
of mail between New York and forty
nine important commercial centers is
SS,01; while the average rate to the
express companies for similar service
is S2,43. To the thinking man, it
would appear that the claim that the
annual deficit is caused by the low

In his address before the Congrega-
Uional church audience Sunday, Atty.
Frank Sargent called attention to the
lack Of protection afforded the people
employed and carried as passengers on
the railroads of this country. During
the past few days the people have
been appalled, by the number of deaths
resulting from collisions and wrecks,
and thinking men are wondering how
this serious problem has been neg
lected SO long. Recent legislation
looking TO the operation of the bust
ness of public service corporations in
the interest of all people is commend
able and Just, but the criminal negli-
gence which results each year in the
loss of hundreds of lives ought not to
be neglected.

\ number of states recently have
taken action-or rather listened to
the recommendation of their eXecu-
tives-looking toward the exclusion
of the professional lobbyists. When
ii is considered in the light of recent
disclosures that the lobby is often
times the law making body, the peo-
pie are justified in taking stringent
measures to destroy the influence.
The great fight today is for the true
expression Of the peoples will, and
the efforts toward the destruction of
the power of the lobby may well be
hailed as another rift in the clouds
which menance the liberty of
America.

one Of the greatest decisions of recent
