It is in high demand in the United
States and in European countries Eng
land and Italy are particularly good
customers.
Now, since the people of this tobacco
belt can grow and do grow large crops
of tobacco that is in great demand,
tobacco grown nowhere else, they
ought to be prosperous and happy; they
ought to be peaceable and pastoral
and pleasant folks. And they used to
be so.
But now they are poor and on the
warpath. Why? Because a few years
ago the agents for big tobacco con-
sumers banded together to put down
the price paid to the producers. They
agreed upon certain starvation fig
ure, and none Of them would pay any
more. Then the American Tobacco
company, which is a worldwide mo-
nopoly, came into being. This is the
SO called tobacco trust 1t controls
practically the entire tobacco world
1t put the screws down tighter on the
Kentucky producers. It paid from 311a
to 4 cents pound for leaf tobacco
which cost about cents to produce
and which sold when manufactured
into market goods in England and Italy
at $1.50 a pound

Vanish After Raiding.

The tobacco belt where the raids take
place is a considerable section Of terri
tory. The raiders themselves, for the
most part, are the hitherto reputable
citizens Of the communities wherein
they dwell. But nobody is supposed to
know just who they are. First find
your snake, then scotch it. Night Rid.
ers are not in the habit of notifying the
governor when they are to make raid
SO that the troops may be sent After
the raid is made and the damage done
there are no Night Riders in sight
There are only lot of peaceable farm
ers going about their tasks or sitting
on their fences hoping that the war
will soon be ended in their favor, so
that they can grow tobacco again and
sell it at a fair profit.
Spain fought the guerrillas in Cuba
for fifty years and the Filipino bush
whackers for three centuries without
quelling them. And the guerrillas and
bushwhackers were In the saddle most
Of the time. They didn't wear masks.
Their organizations did not melt away
into mist the moment they had made
a demonstration and accomplished the
deed in hand
The Kentucky Night Rider takes good
care that no man shall inform upon
him. In some of the societies there is
an oath which all members are re-
quired to take, binding themselves not
to reveal the secrets of the society on
pain of death.
Years ago the south had to deal with
the Kuklux Khan, which operated on
lines similar to the Night Rider frater
nifty. Many of the Kukluxes were
leading citizens Of their communities.
The same situation obtains in the case
Of the Night Riders. There is a con-
sidera BILE chasm of difference, however,
between the moral aspects of the XII
klux movement and the Kentucky to-
bacco raiders. The former had for it's
chief object the intimidation Of ne
groes, while the latter is based upon
matter of economics which have to do
with the material welfare of the home.
However one may condemn and de-
plore the methods employed by these
Night Riders, it cannot be denied that
their contention that the original out
lawry came from the corporations
themselves has some reason. It is
charged that they have held them
selves above the law and sought to de-
prive the Kentucky tobacco planters Of
their right to fair reward for their
hard labor.
How will it all end? Who can tell?
The whole affair In Kentucky and
Tennessee is merely an incident,
though a startling one, in the general
war against the lawbreaking corpora
ton which has been waged with in
creasing fury throughout the United
States for the past few years. Here
and there the fight is waged in the
courts. Here and there it is waged in
the highways and byways, on horse
back and with torch and pistol. But
1t is all the same old war wherever
and however waged.

To Save Historic Old Steps.

Efforts are being made to preserve
for the United States government the
old stone steps at the north entrance
of the ancient Sixth street railroad sta
ton in Washington, which is now be-
ing demolished. The steps have been
trod by every president of the United
States, and before being placed at the
entrance to the station they were in
service at the Indian Queen tavern,
favorite haunt Of Washington and
statesmen of his time. They were the
last steps climbed by President Gar
field before he was shot, and they have
felt the tread Of thousands of the great
Of the world. There are no funds
available for their purchase, but it is
believed the relic will be preserved to
the United States.

Enjoyed a Natural Monopoly.

Kentucky tobacco growers got ex-
ceedingly weary Of growing tobacco
and selling it below the cost Of produc-
ton. Such an arrangement was not
good business. It did not feed and
clothe and shelter the family. 1t did
not buy a new dress for the house
wife, who in many instances worked
in the fields to help produce the staple.
It did not renew the wardrobe Of the
farmer, who grew more and more rag
ged and more and more resentful. He
resented the monopoly, to him unholy
and unlawful, which was making him
a slave for less than his board and
clothes and place to sleep. In grow
ing tobacco there he had enjoyed a
natural monopoly, which hurt nobody.
An unnatural monopoly was created
to deprive him Of his natural rights to

riders would appear In a town, visit
the telephone central Office, politely
coerce the hello girls to keep away
from the switchboards and stand
guard there until the match had been
applied and the warehouse was beyond
saving. Then the raiders would ride
away and dissolve into the darkness.
They were quite gallant to the tele.

In fact, these raiders never made
war on women and children except by
killing husband and father now and
then. They did not carry away any
thing. They simply destroyed, and de

for the present there appears to be a
letup in their activities.

Oriuin of the War.

Well, you see it was this way: The
trust determined to undermine the
equity societies which had organized
to pool their products and hold them
for a fair price, declining to sell at the
miserable figure offered. Agents Of
the octupus went about among the
farmers, offering one here and there a
big price for his tobacco, twice as big
as the fair price demanded by the pro-
ducers in the pools. What happened?
War-a war for self preservation,
nothing else-that is what the Night
Rider war means 1t is bad war, a
cruel war, a relentless war, but it
grows out Of the. first law of nature
nevertheless. There is more or less Of
what is termed ruffianism in it, but
