What Hls Been Done.

Whether he be a member of the
Burley Tobacco Society or not, no in
telligent observer of the events of the
last four years can fail to recognize that
the Burley Tobacco Society has brought
to the state many millions of dollars in
return for her tobacco crop. Then why
should the Society be opposed by any
citizen who wishes the greatest good to
the greatest number.
IF the holding of his crop while
others sell, works hardship on any
grower it is but the history of every adj
vance movement. We have inherited
civil and religious liberty because of
centuries of struggle on the part Of
those who have lived before us. We
shall prove unworthy of our traditions
and our inheritance if we do not show
undaunted courage and determination
in winning for ourselves and those who
come after us economic freedom.

Pledge Violation Discussed.

mo man who has any just apprecia-
ton of what the issue really is and of
what his citizenship means will allow
any inducement to make him violate
his pledge. The issue is on in this
country between the widely scattered,
unorganized producers of raw materials
and the closely organized manufactur-
ers and transportation companies. I'm
less the producers learn to stand to-
gether they are hopelessly at the mer-
cy of the manufacturers and transpor-
tation companies who do combine.
The test is on as to whether a Demo-
cracy can be maintained or whether
human nature is so constituted that the
masses must serve the classes. The
man who fails to have his blood stirred
by the situation is hopelessly inferior
either in character or intelligence.
Unworthy Name of Citizen.
1.-The man who for any reason that
could be presented to him would vio-
late his pledge is not man, and is un-
worthy the name of an American citi-
zen. He is helping to build UP a
peasantry and plutocracy in this
country. He is unworthy as the tradi-
tons of the republic and the public
school teachers, the preachers and the
editors would be well within the line of
their duty if they spared no pains to
teach the citizen and the children their
duty in this matter.
"The fight is not for fair price for
this year only, but for strong organ
ization that will make fair prices for
years to come and that will tend to
a more even distribution of the nations
wealth."

Pledge Violation Discussed
Decision Reversed By
Court OF Appeals.
TEST OF DEMOCRACY ON.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 1.-THE Court
of Appeals to day by unanimous vote
reversed the decision of Circuit Judge,
]. M. Benton, who appointed Lee S.
Baldwin and Rufus Lisle receivers for
the Burley Tobacco Society's pools of
1906 and 1907 and in an opinion written
by Judge Ed. c. O'Rear declares that
the action of the lower court was pre-
mature.
: No decision is rendered as to the
ownership of the 1901 900 fund realized
from the outage fees of So hogshead
in the sale of the pooled crops of 1906
and 1907 which we're sold to the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company and the indie
pendant manufacturers in the fall of
1908.

Two Views of Question.

Looked at in one way, the receiver
ship contest so far as the Burley To-
bacco Society is concerned may be
viewed as fight simply to maintain it's
ground and not as making any advance
upon the enemy. Looked at in another
way it does tend to solve question of
the power of the majority.
THE tendency as whole has been to
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1909-12-22
Is AS 1t Should Be.

"This is just as it should be, and if
every grower will refuse either to buy
or sell stock in the Burley Tobacco
Company, the power and strength of
the farmers will be roportionately and
equitably distributed. 1t lies with the
farmer to accomplish these results.
IF only those who are inclined to
provoke factions and create friction
would think seriouly of the large in
terests involved, we would certainly not
have repetition of the two distressing
instances that have given trouble this
year. The ballot is the means for right
ing all wrongs and in as Democratic an
organization as the Burley Tobacco So
ciety there is no occasion for an appeal
to any other agency for redress.

unity the rank and file in their support
of their duly elected representatives. 1t
is notable fact that the two great
fights of the present year have been
against factions aud would .be-friends
of the farmers in our own ranks. Most
of the money, energy and effort spent
in the summer campaign was spent in
undoing harm that had been done by
those who either misunderstood or mis-
represented.
"a loose leaf warehouseman said in
Lexington recently; The Tobacco
Trust cannot afford to let the Burley
Tobacco Society succeed this year. If
this society goes on two or three years
with the 10 per cent. stock in the Bur-
ley Tobacco Company, the farmers or
sanization will be as strong and power
full as the tobacco trust itself"

New Line of Business.

Mr.. John S. Weybright who came to
this place about year ago and started
in the feed and flour business, has been
adding other lines to his stock at various
times until today he has very large
stock of feed of all kinds, plows, harrows,
wagons, and about everything used on
the farm by the up-to-date farmer. His
latest addition is fine line of buggies
and carriages. No use going away from
home for anything in the implement,
wagon or buggy line for Weybright has
what you want, if not in stock he will
have it in very short order. Weybright
believes in printers ink, knowing that
it is invaluable to the progressive mer-
chant. Read his adv. in this issue.

Thurmont will not raise objection to the
placing and unpacking of goods on the
sidewalk until same can be stored away.
Encourage industry and en,erprising mer-
chants, especially those hampered for
room. The same is done in the business
sections of large cities daily. Every cit
izen ought be glad to see filled boxes,
crates, etc. piled high during business
hours in front of any store. 1t shows
something is doing. There is always a
way to get through, even if it is necess-
AIRY to step into the street. tive-foot

Routes For State Roads Selected.


The State Roads Commission Saturday
made final selection of routes in all of the
counties except three Frederick, Har-
ford and Montgomery. In these three
the roads to be built by the State were
partially selected. They present few if
any, complicated problems, it is said by
members of the commission.
The definite routes in Baltimore, Car
roll Howard and Washington counties
were selected, as were the streets to be
paved in Baltimore.
The action of the commission ends the
suspense which has existed since the ten
tative routes for these six big counties
were announced several months ago.
The final routes so far determined for
Carroll county is as follows. Starting at
Sykesville and proceeding by way of Ell
dersburg. Gambler, Bird Hill, Smallwood
and Fenby to Westminster.
From Westminster to Manchester.
From Westminster to Taneytown.
From Westminster toward Frizzelburg.
The road from Ridgeville toward Tay-
lorville for two miles.
! From Ridgeville, on the Baltimore and
Frederick turnpike, to the Howard coun-
ty line.
Washington county: From the Freder-
lex county line, near Boonsboro, by way
of Hagerstown, Conococheague, Clear
spring and Hancock, to the Allegany
county line over the old National pike.
A road from near Boonsboro southerly
to Weaverton, and a branch from this
route at point near Gapland easterly to
the Montgomery county line.
In regard to Frederick county the only
decision made was to take the Baltimore
and Frederick county turnpike from the
Carroll county line to Frederick and to
take the Boonsboro pike from Frederick
to the Washington county line.
On Friday OF this week the commission
will meet again, and it is then expected
to decide definitely on the routes of Har-
ford, Frederick and Montgomery coun-
ties. With the decision on these three
the question of where the roads are to
located will be thing of the past.
