Wednesday.
Immediately after the report of the
committee on credentials had been
announced Tuesday afternoon, and
while the convention of the American
Society of Equity were awaiting the
report of the other committees W. G.
Hill, of Colfax, was called to the
stage for an address.
''The days of the hardships for the
organizers of the A. S. of E. are gone
forever. The load the society has to
carry is big one still, but the fuzze
without the power will wake up the
sleeping ones now, whereas it was
necessary sometime ago to explode a
stick of dynamite.
Equity means justice, and the
farmers of America are up against
capital in their fight for justice. The
farmers are prepared, however, fol
they can eat their produce, while the
capitalist cannot eat his money. The
latter class never SOW, but reap con.
tinually what the farmers SOW. The
utilization with the American Fedora
tion of labor is great step, and thai
society stand ready to use only the
produce of the Society of Equity
whenever that society is ready to re
turn the compliment.

Vice President Speaks.

n. C. Luce, of Eau Claire, stated
that simple organization was not Sc
much necessary as the united and un-
ceasing work of those men already
organized. The society stood for
everything that was beneficial to the
farmers, and was, as it had been
stated to be, opposed to the mail
order houses. The more money that
was spent with the local merchant
the greater was the value of the farm.
He explained the plan that was being
worked out in Eau Claire county to
establish selling agency. This agent
should be the best, and should be pro.
vided with the means to keep in
touch with the market, so that he
would know what part of the county
or state needed certain produce, and
where he could find the farmers who
had the produce to sell. The mem
bership charged for eighty acres, was
five dollars, and with an additional
fifty cents per additional forty acres.
This fee was laid aside for the accu-
mutation of capital. With such
means of knowing who were in need,
and what the market demand was,
goods used by the farmers could be
bought in large lots at a discount, and
prices offered for car load lots of pro-
duct could be accepted, for while one
farmer might not have a carload, ten
having the same product to sell would

IRISH PEER
 CONDEMNED

London. Feb. 21.--In the House of Commons today William Duffy, mem- Der for South Galway, again introduce ed his bill to provide for the eXpro- priaton of the marquis of Clanrl- carde from his Irish estates. The IT, lish members who supported the bill stated that Lord Clanricarde had been in Ireland but once in his life, more than forty years ago, at the funeral 1 of his father M. Flavin described | the nObleman as a curse to the cOun- try, callous and brutal landlord with a career distinguished by mis- cry wretchedness and bloodshed. Over nine hundred families had been evict- ed from his estate of fifty-siX thous- and acres and the county of Galway was blighted by his wanton cruelty. Some action should be taken in the matter, said John Redmond, for the people of Galway were in state of insurrection bordering on war. The Prime Minister also condemned the action of Lord Clanricarde, but sad the government had no time to deal with the measure. He promised that it would be considered if brought on again. The bill was withdrawn for the present. Lord Clanricarde's an cestors were the kings of Connaught
 whose women intermarried with the kings of Meath of Thomond and Tag mony. and gave ancestors to Edward
 IV of England.

Killed Good Roads Bill.

The senate tnlS afternoon kllleu the Montgomery good roads bill, which was one of the measures en- dorsed by the Arkansas Good Roads Association at it's recent convention. The bill provided for the working of state eonvicts on the public roads. It provided that the convicts should be furnished to any county which ten miles of road. The opposition to the bill was directed largely against the provisions of the bill, rather than against the principle of working the eonvicts on the road, Several of the senators contended that while they were in favor of a law providing for the working of conv1cts on the roads, they did not believe that the Montgomery bill was the best measure pending and wished to make thorough investi- gation before passing any bill of the kind. The discussion finally re- solved itself into dispute as to how many farmers were present at the good roads convention held re- gently and this led to a discussion in which Senator Mcknight declar- ed that he was tired of the criti- cisms which were made against the farmers on the floor of the senate The senators who had spoken dis claimed any intention of ref1eetine on the farmers. When the matter came to vote the bill was defeated by vote of 12 to IS.
