Subjected to a rigid cross-examina-

confused and contradicted himself. He
said that he first saw the night riders

Later he was told that unless he

LAW
Still IN EFFECT.
But Kentucky Farmers Can Pool
Their Crops, Says APP
pellate Court.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 26.-The case
of the Commonwealth VS.. incarnation
al Harvester Company, from Hardin
county, was affirmed by the Court of
Appeals, but on the ground tnat tine
Indictment failed to state that the
International Harvester Company had
enhanced the value of its machinery
above dts real value. Tire company
claimed that the act of 1890 known
as the antitrust act was in effect
repealed by she act of 1906 which per-
mitted farmers to pool their products.
The lower court sustained a demurrer
to the Indictment on the grounds that
discrimination was worked against
the harveTter company by the act of
1906.
Judge O'Rear, i'm a lengthy opinion,
says 1t was proper TO have suskRin-
ed the demurrer 10 the Indictment
but not upon the grounds That the
act OF 1906 was IN conflict with the
act of 1890. Judge Barker, Lassdng
and Hobson dissent from the opinion.
The effect of the decision Is bnat
the farmers can combine TO get bet
ter prices for their products, but
manufacturers trusts or combines can
not unite TO enhance the price OF
an article above its real value nor
to depreciate an article below dts real
value.

PURE seed FOR
THE FARMERS.
Is the Aim Of State Agri-
culture Commissioner.
He May publish the Name Of the
Fake Dealers as Warning
to Purchasers.

Adulteratiou of farm seed is 10 be
MADE a special subject for investiga-
ton by M. G. Rankin, commissioner OF
agriculture, and he may adopt tne ex-
pedient of publishing the names Of all
firms which are caught selling seed of
any kind IN which there are adulter-
ants or which may contain the seeds
of weeds. He is going to conduct a
vigorous campaign to stop the imposi-
ton under the burden of which the
farmers are now growing weary, and
believes that he can help the farmers
materially.
One farmer wrote 40 Mr.. Rankin
telling him that he had bought some
seed wheat, which was not shipped
until just before the time for SOW
ing. When the wheat grew 1t was
found to contain about 10 per cent of
|, wild onions. No miller will buy wheat
which contains onions, as no machine
has yet been invented which Wi Il sep
arate the onions from the wheat, and
the weed would make the flour taste.
The farmer who bought Ghe seed lost
practically his entire crop, and he
writes TO the commissioner to know ID
something cannot be, done about it.
Mr.. Rankin says he intends to see thu I
something Is done about it, and he is
going to consult the attorney general
to see what he can do to punish the
firm which sold that particular wheat.
. He is going after other dealers who
supply dhe farmer with bad seed corn.
Many betters from farmers over the
ktate are being received by Mr.. Ran
kin congratulating him on the move
. alent which he has started Tor better
seed corn for the farmers of the static
and they all say that tine prospects are
that by the distribution of the high
grade corn the farms of tire state will
be made to yield much larger crops.
Mr.. Rankin believes that he can edu-
cate the farmers TO the use of only
high-grnde seed corn and If they will
s use only this they will greatly i'm
prove the average crop and will also
be better able to find a market for
their products.

Fiscal Court Indicted.

The Franklin county grand jury one
day this week returned an indictment
against the Franklin county Fiscal
Court for failing TO publish a fSnan-
cial statement of the condition of the
county. The statute is very plain up
on this question and is mandatory. 1t
directs that each year the Fiscal Court
OF each county shall publish I'm a
of general circulation a
complete statement giving The lisE
of claims allowed by items. 1t does
not mean that it may be done in a
condensed form, but each item must
appear so that the public may know
what disposition has been made of the
finances.

MAY step UP To
SUPREME Bench
Tip That Gov. Wilson May Land
the Place as Harlan's
Successor.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 25.-Gov. Au-
gustus E. Wilson for a place on the
Supreme bench TO succeed Justice
John NJ. Harlan. This is the late
political tip which is going through
the Frankfort political prophets and
it is said to be practically a GER
tainty that Justice Harlan will re-
tire in December and President Taft
will appoint Gov. Wilson as his sue
cessor. II the resignation of Gov.
Wilson is filed after December 10,
OF the present year. Lieut.. Gov. VIII
liam H. Cox would succeed him as
Governor and serve the remaining two
years OF the tenn. If the appointment
should be made prior 10 that time,
anodher election for Governor would
have TO be held and the Democrats
would have a chance 20 elect Gov
ernor, who would be the only Demo-
crat of the State officials.
Two trips to Washington recently
anu lHc lilp W <1bhdubd, WhCiO hO
met Judge Taft, combined wjsh the
recent visit of Justice Harlan. who
Is lifelong friend of Gov. Wilson,
have given rise to the story that
Judge Taft villa appoint GOV. Will
son to a place on the Supreme bench
and that Justice Harlan, who is past
the age limit, will retire and give
way to his intimate personal friend.
Justice Harlan, at the time OF his
visit here. said he had no intention
of refining, but It is said by those
who pick Gov. Wilson as Justice
of the Supreme Court, that Justice
Harlan would change his nind If The
President would agree to appoint
Gov. Wilson.
