Wilson to KentUekianS.
Fight the Enemy With His Own Fire
is Advice to Independent Tobacco
Growers Against Night Riders.

Frankfort, Ky. Fight the enemy
with his own fire is the method that
Governor Wilson advised the indie
pendent growers of tobacco in Ken
lucky to adopt in their struggles
against the Night Riders. Piles of
letters are stacked on his desk, the
Governor says, from tobacco growers
asking whether they must pool their
tobacco, or whether they will re-
ceiye protection from the militia If
they do not pool it.
Organize liberty leagues and kill
the nocturnal invaders, /" is the advice
that the Governor gives In state
ment Governor Wilson says that no
man should pool his tobacco unless
he wants to, and that he will pardon
any man who resorts to arms to pro-
tect his home The situation was
intense and the crisis for the indie
pendents or the organization men was
expected.
1t was declared in some quarters
that the statement given out will
mean the failure of the pool The
Governor says in the statement:

not to make a mistake and kill any
innocent person, but simply necessary

property, they would not need any
lawyer. have never withdrawn that
proclamation. 1t is my most serious
conviction of my duty 1t was made
with full knowledge of its serious
character, and 1t is my set purpose to
keep the faith under that proclama-
ton
IF mems interest in a business
plan to form a combination to raise
the price on their crops, which is en-
tirely proper and wise, If lawfully
carried on, is so great that they will
form pool that falls into lawless-
ness why should not self-respecting,
free Kentuckians form a liberty or
freedom pool, a thousand times more
serious and earnest than any pool for
mohey profit, and why should they
not fight for their liberties when the
law is behind them, and the State
government is with them?"

The odd Orange.

The discovery of humor in dumb
animals may sometimes owe little
to the Observers imagination, but Mr..
O'Shea, in his Leaves From the Life
of Special Correspondent" seems to
prove his case in an interview be-
tween himself and group of jolly
elephants.
"A young friend" he says, asked
me to show him the elephants, SO we
went with an offering of oranges,
which the lad was to carry. But the
moment we reached the stable door
the herd scented the fruit and set up
such trumpeting that the boy
dropped the fruit and ran like a
scared rabbit
There were eight elephants, and
Mr.. O'Shea, as he picked up the or
anges, found that he had twenty five.
Walking deliberately along the line,
he gave one to each. When he got
to the end of the narrow stable, he
turned and was about to begin the
distribution again, but suddenly re-
fected that if elephant number seven
saw MIN give elephant number eight
two oranges in succession, he might
fancy himself cheated and give the
distributor smack with his pro-
boscis; so he returned to the door and
began at the other end of the line,
as before.
Three times he went down the line,
and then he had one orange left.
Every elephant had his greedy gaze
focused upon that 5orange. 1t would
have been as much as mans life was
worth to give it to any one of them.
What was he to do? He held it up
conspicuously, coolly peeled it and
ate it himself
1T was most amusing" he says, to
notice the way those ELEPHANTS nudged
each other and shook their ponderous
Sides They thoroughly entered into
the humor of the thing"
