Rockefeller and Archbold both stat
ed, under oath the other day, that
the STANDARD Oil Co. took rebates and
combined with other companies in re-
straint of trade. Both these offenses
are criminal and subject to punish

We hear lot Of talk about scien-
tifc farming, agriculture, etc. There
is also a commission appointed by the
president going over the country try
ing to find out what the farmer needs
and what can be done for him that
he may be happy. We have no OBJ
lection to all Of these things, but if
we were asked the question, how can
farm life be made more prosperous or
how can the farmers burden be made
easier, we would suggest to first give
him the land absolutely for farm pur-
poses and allow no man to speculate
in land; second, government loan
money just like it does to banks;
third, stop farmers paying dividends
on eight billion dollar watered rail
road bonds; fourth, stop paying trib-
ute to the millionaire manufacturers
when the farmers products go to
free trade markets; fifth, stop paying
one hundred sixty million per year
to the steel trust, to the oil trust,
and all the other trusts. You will
never benefit the farmer very much
any other way. The above named
evils are the sole cause of the farm
ers' organization. The farmer must
either get more for his products or
pay less for what he buys. 1t would
be better for humanity if all things
were regulated in proportion to the
actual cost Of production.-Farmers

WHIRLING AWAY FROM GEOR-
GIA.
By Thomas Malone Wheless.

| am whirling away from Georgia,
Rushing from Dixie Land,
While the gathering shade of the
evening has laid
The mantle of dusk at my hand.
The sentinel pines. looming dark in
the, woods,
Stand sullen and gaunt and my an
swering moods
Are tinged by the lowering shadow
that broods-
While I am hasting from Georgia.
I am whirling away from Georgia,
Saddened in heart and mind,
For my cycles Of thought are with
memories fraught
Of the dear ones [ left behind.
Yet-must [ confess it ?-as strange
as it seems,
The rarest effulgence persistently
CLEANS
Amongst darkest musings and bright
ems my dreams
While [ am hasting from Georgia.
I am whirling away from Georgia,
Bound for distant strand,
But [ bear to the west, woman's love
at its best
And I found it in Dixie Land
So that is the reason my musings
grow bright
AS we rush through the lowering
shadows of night,
And my heart is enthused with
glow of delight
While I am hasting from Georgia.

follows:
Whereas, The agricultural produc-
ton Of Rio Blanco county is limited
to the transportation facilities; and,
Whereas, Such facilities are lim-
tied principally by the poor condi-
tion of our public highways; and,
Whereas, 1t is desirable that every
facility should be provided whereby
our resources could be developed to
their full extent; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, BY the people and tax
payers Of Rio BlancO county, that we
urgently implore our senator and
representative in the 18th general
assembly to support a bill now pre-
pared by the Good Roads association
Of the state Of Colorado; and, be 1t
further
Resolved, That we respectfully ask
our county commissioners and those
who viii Be elected at the approach

whereby the condition Of the county

Garfield county line, known as the
government road, can be improved
to answer the requirements.

Mud Singing.

1t was hoped by members Of both
parties that this campaign would
pass of without any bitterness or
mud singing being INDUCED In. 1t
has remained for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
president of the United States, to
lower himself to the level of ward
politician and to revive the old dis
gusting methods of mud singing
campaigns. Every man in the coun-
try that knows the record Of Mr..
Bryan knows that he is as incorrupt-
ible as Lincoln or Washington ever
were, and superior to Roosevelt or
Taft. Everyone Of the policies that
Mr.. Roosevelt claims as his own was
taken bodily from the teachings of
Mr.. Bryan and Democratic platforms
and 1t is a fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
never originated single one Of
them. This is what makes Roose-
welt so mad.
