THE THOMPSON LETTERS.

In using copies OF certain letters
written twenty years ago and abs'racte"
in some mysterious way from the letter
hook Of Mr.. ]. S. 3. Thompson, MIR.
Jones instead OF strengthening his
campaign has added another honor TO
the record OF Senator Thomas 5.
Martin.
Mr.. Jones read and published these
letters in his endeayor to prove the
statement made by him in his Lynch
burg speech that Senator Martin, be-
fore he was elected the first time to the
Senate. had represented the railroads
and distributed what Mr.. Jones was
pleased to call the yellow-dog fund
for the railroads. The letters, when
carefully read and considered IN the
light OF the political history OF our
State at the time they we're written
so far from showing that Senator Mar.
fin had any connection with any vel
low-dog fund" OF the railroads. sho"
bevond question that Senator Martin
,t The time was member OF the DEM
ocratic committee and was deyotlng
his time and ability in the then pend
ing campaign in aid Of the efforts OF
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, the Chairman
of the party, and in the service OF us
party and State. As all other pubic
spirited and patriotic men OF that DAY
were doing, Senator Martin was con-
tributing to the utmost extent OF us
capacity in the effort to protect VIZ
sinia from the blight OF negro DONNA
tion. The property interest OF the
State, railroad and corporate, as well
az the personal Interests OF every white
man desiring to preserve our clvlllza-
ton. were deeply concerned in the re-
sult OF the campaign then pending.
Railroad managers and wealthy men
Of all classes realized that 1t
was incumbent upon them to contr'-
butte literally OF their means for the
protection Of their own property and
the property OF their neighbors, and
for the preservation OF white suprem'
acy.
Chairman Ellyson end Thomas ).
Martin. one OF the members Of ms
committee, gave their time and talents
upstintedly to our campaigns at thai
neriod of our history when dark
cloud at every election was impending
over the political horizon. These
leaders Of the democratic party ap-
pealed to railroad men and urged men
everywhere to make contributions, and
the money when contributed was used
for the preservation OF the best inter
ests OF the people ofthe state in accord
apce with the public sentiment which
wos universal at that time. The let
tiers prove conclusiyely that Senator
Martin took conspicuous part in that
valuable and patriotic work. These
letters bring out the fact that he is en-
titled to this additional honor. The
good people of the state cannot fail to
commend him and Chairman Ellyson
for the good work which they did, and
it is equally certain that they will con-
denim Mr.. Jones for his attempt TO
create the impression that this patrl-
otto course was inspired by some evil
purpose.

More Bread and Meat" in Arka,.
 sas versus Anti Trust Legislation
By Fred H. Phillips, Commissioners of Agriculture

Let us bust the "bread and meat" trust, by raising a living at home put Armour, Swift and Cudahay out of business by not patronizing them. The Arkansas farmer can and should raise his living at home, an dalso a surplus for his neighbors in the cities and towns of the state. If we will do this it will not be necessary to pass antitrust legislation to put these trusts out of business in Arkansas.
 The farmer who Hives at home" is, according to the real meaning of the term, a producer and not con sumer He alone can be independent of the trusts which control the neces- sities of life.
 Thus the farmer in reality controls or should control the supply of those products which the "bread and meat" trusts attempt to control. A concert ed effort on the part of the farmer would soon force the packing houses out of business. The consumer would then look to the farmer and not to the packing house for his supply.
 We must first produce a surplus of meat before we attempt to reorganize our system of marketing meat. Hence
The log cabin Democrat., 1911-04-28

the first step towards the accomplish ment of this trust bursting scheme" is the production of more hogs and cattle. The emphasis now being plac- ed upon the possibilities of the live stock industry in this state has awak- ened greater interest in this indus try. But this is but the beginning of our era of prosperity which will final ly result in removing the Arkansas corn crib and smokehouse from Kan sas and Nebraska to Arkansas.
 We should have two or three pack ing plants established in this state. l am glad to Ecte that pageral men of capital are now considering Ar kansas as a desirable location for packing plant. We should use our ev- cry effort to bring about the location of these plants. If the various con- mercial clubs and boards of trade throughout the state would take up the mater of locating packing plants in Arkansas with the same enthusi- asm and determination which they display in other projects, we would soon have them, and I know nothing at this time which would be of more benefit to the farmers of Arkansas.
