Conditions Changed.

The conditions of the farmers of
the United States is fast assuming
marked change. For over a century
the American farmer has been COM
PEELED to stand the brunt of all con-
ditions, financial and otherwise, but
today we are witnessing a revolution
among the hardy sons of toll that bids
fair in the end to be of untold bene-
fit to manking in general. 1t has
been a remarkable fact in the past
that an agriculturist was compelled
to accept prices for his products as
dictated by the market jugglers, and
If he complained he was confronted
with the old cry Of supply and de-
mand. But Mr. Farmer has learned
that when he desired to purchase the
necessities of life the law of supply
and demand did not apply. There
fore, he was compelled to accept
any price demanded for that which he
desired to purchase. Not having
voice either way in the transaction it
became a question with the farmer
how to regulate the injustice. So we
find him to-day working along lines
similar to the trades unions; and by
cooperation and organization it is
only question Of a short time until
we will find the farmer placing his
own price upon his products, thereby
! insuring him fair return for his la

More Farmers Wanted.

What do you think now about only
lawyers being good as legislators? !?
There were some twenty-five members
of the Farmers union in the Thirty
first legislature and they were about
the best goods there, all wool and
a yard wide. Send some more of the
same kind and you will get more work
done.-Co-Operator.

Bringing Politics to Time.

The work of the Farmers union is

her Of apostles that were called the

be the numbe, OF fish have caught. "

BRYAN ASSAILS WHISKEY
TAKES STRONG POSITION IN OP-
POSITION TO LIQUOR.
The COmmOner Declares personal
Liberty" Is Misnomer. Saws
Saloon Is Kin to BrOtheI.

LINCOLN, Neb.-In an article in
Fridays Commoner w. J. Bryan
takes a strong position in opposition
to the saloon and the liquor dealer
and declares the term personal lib
erty, in certain applications, to be a
misnomer. The article is taken to
forecast Mr.. Bryan's coming decla-
ration for county option
The article says:
The liquor dealers, recognizing
that their very obvious pecuniary in
terest would lessen the weight of any
argument which they might publicly
advance, are making their fight un,
der cover of an organization purport
ing to represent those who use liquor
Many well-meaning men have
been misled into believing that every
attempt to lessen the evil of intern
perance is a 'fanatical attack on
personal liberty. 1t is time the
phrase, personal liberty were de.
fined. What is meant by personal
liberty?'
Does it mean that a person has
a right to drink in any quantity, any
time, any place, no matter what in
jury he may infiict upon others? II
not, with whom rests the right to fix
limitations?
"a drunken man is a menace to
the lives and property of those about
him; have his neighbors no right to
protect themselves?
"A drunkard robs his wife and
children, and he may finally make his
family and himself a charge upon So
ciety; has society no right to protect
itself?
THE saloon is next of kin to the
brothel and gambling bells; it is a
rendezvous for the criminal element
and willing tool of corrupt politi-
clans; has not the body polite a
right to protect itself from the de-
moralization which the saloon
works?
''The right to drink does not nee
essarily include the right to demand
the establishment of a saloon. The
right to drink is sufficiently protected
by any arrangement that permits the
reasonable use of liquor under rea-
sonable conditions; and it must be
remembered that the right to drink,
like any other right, can be for
feited."

TRICKERY tFlGUREl IN RACE ?
Ether Cans Are Found Near the Race

Methods Suspected.

Ether Cans Are Found Near the Race
Course in Atlanta. Underhand
Methods Suspected.
ATLANTA.-Did trickery have
anything to do with the wonderful
records made on the Atlanta auto
mobile speedway
A quantity of ether cans found
lying loose in the underbruth near
the track seem to answer mutely in
the affirmative.
That some of the racing drivers
were guilty in the recent trials
were guilty of the most underhanded
methods known to auto racing seems
certain in the light of the sensation
al discovery made by Ed Clapp, one
of the officials of the Atlanta Auto
mobile Association.
While walking around the track
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Clapp, by the
purest accident, found number of
cans which had once contained ether
hidden in the weeds.
Scarcely willing to believe his eyes
Mr.. Clapp investigated more closely,
and confirmed his suspicious beyond
question or doubt.
All racers know that the explosive
power of gasoline is greatly increased
by mixing it with ether, but it is a
terribly dangerous and unlawful
practice, and there is no rule in the
automobile racing game more rigid
than that prohibiting such doctor
ing"
The matter has been reported to
the officials of the Atlanta Automo-
bile Association, under whose aus
pices the races were held, and they
learned it with sincerest regret, but
inasmuch as the races were ended and
the racers gone, literally to the four
corners of hte earth, there is moth
ing possible to do, and it is probable
that the guilty persons will never be
discovered.

MAN WORTH $4,000 ON GANG.
Brooks County Citizen Who Ran a
Blind Tiger Got Years Sentence.


At Quitman a white man named
Strickland has been sentenced to the
changing for twelve months, and is
now at work on the county roads.
He is worth $4,000, and his case
refutes the assertion that rich men
are not punished for wrong-doings.
Strickland was tried on charge
or running a blind tiger in Morven
district. One of the best law firms
in Quitman offered to defend him for
a fee of $1,000, three hundred cash
and the rest payment within the year.
He said he'd rather go to the gang
than pay any lawyer $1,000, that was
fair profit for a years work any
way. So he is working. The only
white man on the county gang be-
sides Strickland is tramp who was
arrested recently.
