Do NIGHT RIDERS
INFEST OKLAHOMA


Guthrie, Ok. 0et, l6.-There are eVf4
dences that al organization exists ID the
southeastern part ol Oklahoma similar to
the night riders OF Tennessee and Ken
tucky that have struck terror % the
farmers Of those states The Oklahoma
organization, II themovement hasreached
the organization stage, originated il
Seminole county and It's obiect 10 intimi-
date growers into holding their cotton
until they can secure no cents a pound
for it.
Reports Of night riders have come fgmn
Hugo. Sallisew Wewoka Konawa and
Seminole, where notices have beon post
ed on several cotton gins warning the
owners not TO gin any more cotton until
ii reaches l0cents.
While no reports CS destruction Of gins
Ia Oklahoma have yet beenreceivea here,
night riders recently in Red River county
Tex, destroyed two gins BY setting fire
to them after the owners had failed to
notice warnings posted upon gin doors.
An unconfrmed report states thar eight
gins have been burned in Titus county
Tex. The fact that the night rider
organizations exist ia some Of the Red
river counties Of Texas, which border Ok
lahoma, tends color to the belief that the
same organization Is responsible for the
notice upon gins in southern Oklahoma
AS d result Of the threatened violence
many farmers in Seminole county are
refusing to haul their cotton 10 the gins
and some Of the gins are refusing 70 buy
cotton, Many loads have been hauled
away after the ginners have refused 20
gin them.
Ia some Of the towns Of Seminole
county notices have been posted in the
postotIIces warning cotton buyers not 10
\ purchase cotton. There is a well defined
\ fear among cotton men in southern OH
/ Iahona that number Of gins win be
burned II the ginners refuse to comply
with the edicts Of the night riders.
Members Of the Farmers Union organ4
izations deny all knowledge of night
riders.

.,EaA VALUE OF PROTECTION.

The real gist of the benefits of
protection is the building up and
maintenance of the home market
The thing that really indicates
prosperity Is the volume and proflt-
ableness of the business and con-
sumption of the nation. 1t is this
consumption that indicates the So
ciai and economic welfare OF the
people. This has been brought
about by the protecting for domes-
tic capital and labor the opportunl-
ty afforded by the domestic market
which would not have existed under
free trade
The great thing that is OF impor-
lance in this country has been IN
the past. and will be in the future,
il the guaranteed opportunities OF
American enterprise to enlov the
entire American market. with TINS
there is no assignable limit to our
progress. Every year increases the
extent and variety OF our industrial
prospects, and to protect this Is TO
prOtect the American CIVILIZATION.
