GROWERS BEING ROBBED
Equity Members Call q Halt on
Board OF Trade Dealings.
Producers Should Not Play In
to the Hands Of the Trust

The boards OF trade are having more
difficulty this year in forcing the grain
grower to sell his grain ct the bare
cost OF production, the prices for
grain being manipulated down by the
neural sandbagging methods. but not
with the same effect as in years past
The Equity Society has been acave
in spreading accurate information ell
through the grain growing states,
therefore the farmers are g"*t''- wise.
and those who can hold their Grain tor
a fair profit are doing so the only sell-
ing movement of consequences = from
the farmers who are in debt and must
have mou.y no matter what they get
for their Grain.
Which is the most respectable man
in community. the man who meets
the farmer in the road, pokes gun 6u
the face and forces him to give up his
money and valuables, or The board OF
trade man who. taking advantage. OF
the grain grower. knocks down the
prices for his grain. under the cheap
guise OF big crops and more grain
being produced than the people need.

how much dirt there is in the grain,
the dochage is always heavy even
grain that has been cleaned for seed ~

Bradley The Pie Distributor.

Whatever may be said of w.
O. Bradley, the Republican Sen
ator from Kentucky he has the
remarkable ability of always
landing on his feet. Fighting
against the nomination of Taft
with the earnestness and bitter
ness which characterizes the
man, the news comes from Wash
ington that he of all Republicans
from the State is personagrata
with the President and that no
appointment of Importance in the
state will be made which do not
bear O. K. of the Senator and
this too over the men who lead
the fight for Taft in Kentucky.
Further report is that Senator
Bradley has already marked
many of these men holding good
position for slaughter. There
will now be a great exodus from
the anti-Bradley crowd to fawn
and f1atter at the feet of Bradley
for favor and endorsement. If
the dispatches are to be believed
that come from Washington
Bradley is the whole push when
it comes TO patronage and if so,
he will push the plank from I'M
der many a fellow who has been
enjoying a soft job under the
former administration. -E-Town

Bad Roads Responsible for Hitter.
acy.

| In the mountain counties of
Kentucky it is a common expert
ence to find old men who have
lived all their unventful lives
without having caught a glimpse
OF a locomotive. Is it any wonder
that such a condition of affairs
breeds illiteracy? We hang our
heads in shame when we find
Kentucky classed as forty-second
in illiteracy, when the white
population alone is considered.
This is very largely the result of
the bad roads of the State. which
make school-going in the sparse
ly settled districts practically
impossible. Where good roads
exist, as in the Bluegrass coun-
ties, the illiteracy problem is
practically eliminated. Culture
and refinement follow, as the
social bent of the community is
encouraged. The coming to-
gether of the youths of the
mountains in long terms for
study will follow Immediately
with the building of good roads,
and no other condition will make
this possible.
1t is idle to talk about doing
away with the prevailing con-
dition of things until we have
gotten at the real difficulty, which
is the source of it all. Fill the
school houses for eight or nine
months in the years with the re-
ceptive mountain boys and girls,
and keep repeating this operation
for a few years and the charac-
teristics for which we criticise
their elders will soon disappear.

The Conviction of the COOpers.

The conviction of Duncan and
Robin Cooper for the murder of
&. w. Carmack at Nashville was
no surprise to the unprecedented
public who had carefully read
the testimony. There was abso-
lutely no proof of self defense
except the statements of the men
under indictment for the crime.
While the proof of premeditated
assassination was as strong as
could be offered. First there
was the threatening note from
Duncan Cooper that he would
kill Carmack if he wrote any
thing more about him in his
paper; the proof that he was shot
from behind; the proof that the
Coopers went across the street
to m e ct Carmack after the
threatening note had been sent
when they could have avoided
meeting him; and the testimony
of Mrs. Eastman, who witnessed
the killing, Now we have got
the drop on you" These four
facts were sufficient to convict
before any jury. The question
as to which side either were on
in regard to the prohibition ques-
ton or their political differences
did not, and had no right to
enter in the case. What Car
mack wrote in his paper about
Duncan Cooper, while made a
matter of proof had no influence
with the jury. 1t was not even
sufficient to justly the sending of
the threatening note. The YER
dict was a compromise one, those
juryman who wanted a life SEN
tence or the death penalty pre-
ferring to yield the point rather
than have a mistrial. The ac-
quittal of Sharp was eminently
right under the proof as it was
shown he was not connected
with any plot to assassinate Car
mack. The ridiculous speeches
of Gen. Meeks and Washington
did not help the Coopers case as
t h ey both made themselves
absurd before the country E.
