The honor Of the first attempt to

third fiscal year after this service be-
gan but 39l routes were established.
at an annual expenditure OF s150.012.
The convenience, as we'll as ethical,
economical. commercial and educa-
donal benefits incident to this public
utility were now so foreefully demon
strated that expansion went on rapid

FIGHT RIDERS WITH
THEIR OWN FIRE
Kentucky Governor Advises lndepend'
ent Tobacco Growers to Shoot
Down Night Riders.

Frankford, KY, oct, 4.-Fight the
davil with his own fire is the method
that Governor Wilson Is advising the
independent growers of tobacco in
Kentucky to adopt in their struggles
against the night riders.
Piles of letters are stacked In his
desk, the governor says, from people
appealing to him and asking him
whether they must pool their tobacco
or whether they will be Afforded pro-
lection by the militia IL they do not
pool IT,
"Organize liberty leagues and kill
the nocturnal invaders is the advice
that the governor gives. In state
ment Sunday Governor Wilson light
ed the fire that will set the whole Of
the hurley and dark tobacco district
aname today.
He says that no man should pool his
tobacco unless he wants TO, and that
he will pardon any man who resorts TO
arms to protect his home That civil
war will follow IN Kentucky as a re.
suit Of this published statement would
not come as a surprise. for the situa-
tion is intense and the crisis for the
independents or the organization men
will be reached within the next few
days
He says, in part:
You will remember that / have
made public address to our people ask.
ing them to defend their homes, and
assured them that II they did defend
their homes, and were careful not to
make mistake and kill any innocent
person, but simply necessary defense
of their lives. liberty and property,
they would not need any lawyer.
Il have never withdrawn that proc.
lamation II Is my most serious con.
viction OF my duty II was made with
full knowledge of its serious character,
and it is my set purpose to keep the
faith under that proclamation. II
mems interest in business plan to
form a combination to raise the price
Of their crops, which is entirely proper
and wise il lawfully carried on, is 80
great that they will form a pool that
falls into lawlessness, why should not
selfrespeeting, free Kentuckians form
liberty, or freedom, pool; a thousand
times more serious and earnest than
any pool for money profit; and why
should they not fight sor their liberties,
when the Jaw is behind them and the
state government is with them?
Governor Wilson will depart for
Boston today
