The Louisville Times errs when II
says THE lawlessness of the past
three years in Kentucky has grown
out Of the tobacco growers desire fol
more money for their crops" Tbs
tobacco growers of Kentucky never
would have conceived the iniquity OF
night riding. The lawlessness grew
out of the cupidity and desire OF GER
tain associated dealers to handle an
the tobacco grown in Kentucky, and
they have forced farmers at the point
of a gun to place the tobacco in theii
hands regardless of the will and in

been forced on him.

BETWEEN THE GRAFTERS AND
THE OCTOPUS.

In an editorial warning hurley to-
bacco planters that the figures given
out as the offer of the American To
bacco company for the pooled hurley
crops of 1906 and 1907 are below
the truth. and advising them not &c
dispose of their certificates until the
deal is closed, the Courier-Journal
yesterday morning intimated that the
planters are not being fairly dealt
with by their own representatives.
President LeBus. of the hurley so
ciety, and others were present al
the meeting. negotiating with the
American Tobacco company, and II
the figures given out are not correct
Mr.. lie Bus and his associates know
IL. II any one is trying to purchase
the farmers certificates at the price
published as the one offered by the
trust, intending to sell the pool for
more than the price published. Mr.
lie Bus and his associates must have
inside knowledge. Governor Wilson
in his speech at Murray said that lie
Bus told him he held more than
800 600 worth of hurley tobacco
which he did not pool. and the COVER
nor charged lie Bus with using the
hurley pool to further his own specu-
lations.
Here is the automatically stated
charge of the Courier-Journal.
There are reports that specu-
lators within the past few days
are buying. or attempting TO buy,
the pooled tobacco of Kentucky
growers.
If such reports are true II
might be well for the growers TO
stand out for good, stiff prices,
as the indications point TO an
advantageous sale of both the
1906 and 1907 crops in the pool.
For instance, the Courier
Journal has reliable authority
for saying that the prices which
the American Tobacco company
was reported a few days ago, 10
have offered for these crops were
under, rather than above, the
actual figures. To be exact, the
Journals information IS
that for the 1906 tobacco 201s
cents pound was offered. while
for the 1907 tobacco 16 cents
pound was offered.
As to whether these offers are
to be accepted by those In charge
OF the pool, or as 10 whether bet
ter prices can be secured by
them. the Courier-Journal knows
nothing. It does think. however,
that the growers should be aware
of these facts before selling their
certificates.
Has the time come when the farm
err finds he has placed his interests in
the hands of speculators?
