Editor of News
As | have never seen a letter
from this part, | will endeavor
to say few words.
| have been in Oklahoma near
about four months and it seemed
to me at first like a forsaken
place, but after | remained a
few days | saw | was entirely
mistaken. Farming is tn e
greatest industry; cotton, maze
and sugar corn are the principal
crops. So | think that by the
time | reach Kentucky l will be
a regular bank buster, but at
this time the busting goes the
other way; the bank does the
bursting. At this time we are
in need of rain as We can't farm
much until we have some rain.
L. S. Wooldride has gone to-
town today for the purpose of
selling team; Jake Mcfarland
says he hopes he will sell so he
will not have so many to feed,
but Jake has to be doing some
thing if he does'n work all the
time he gets homesick and has
to cry. Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Nc
Kinley's baby has been sick but
is better at this time.
Mr.. Alva Mcfarland came here
from Denmark, KY, and being
notified a few days ago of his
fathers serious illness has re-
turned home. Mrs. S. L. Wool
bridge and little daughter, Ella
were the guests of Mrs. l.. o.
Mckinley Saturday and Sunday.
The Endeavor at the Mt. Zion
church is progressing nicely,

Mr.. E. C.. CLANCY has been on

Would love to see a letter from
Sewellton for it would be a new
thing. H. G. wake up and see
the train go by.

Will the tobacco raisers cut
out the 1911 crop, or raise the
weed and pool it? 1t seems to
be the all-absorbing question in
Kentucky at present. 1t seems
impossible for farmers to become
a unit on anything, so why not
the government take hold of the
tobacco situation. Do away with
the tax on tobacco in it's present
form, and tax the acreage of the
farmer by allotment. Fix the
vote at so much tobacco per acre,
and allow only so many acres of
tobacco to every so or 100 acres
of land owned by the Individual
farmer. In this way the gov
eminent could derive it's regular
income, fix the amount of pro-
duction. and thus regulate the
price both for the farmer and
manufacturer.

Law Does Not Please

The supreme court has decided that the portino OF the banking
law which wa 10 take the receivership of the defunct banks ut OF the
hands Of men appointed by the courts and pplace them in the hands
of the state bank examiner is unconstitutional 1t is unfortunate
that the law is that way, and depositors in these institutions are as
q rule not pleased with conditions. While there are nc personal
objections to the gentlemen who O occupy these responsible posi-
tons, it is the opinion of many that the system OF handling this
kind OF business in vogue now is incorrect. A ma with sufficient
education and intelligence tic handle a job of this kind realizes that
sooner he is out Of a job. Therefore. the present sytem actually
pays him more for moi finishing his = task than for closing it up
quickly. On the other hand, the state bank examiner receives his
pay for the given term whether he has any unfinished business Q n
hand or not So long as he has a a bank or W hanging fire he has
trouble on his hands in the form of additional work and the unfrend-
ly criticism of dissatisfied creditors. He will therefore lose IL 10
unnecessary time in closing out the affairs OF the defunct banks in

Several days ago a nan convicted of a crime wa IN to this city
to serve his term in the penitentiary under the sentence imposed by the
judge of the court. There we're many complications in the case and an
appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court for a re- trial 1t is pos
sble that a new trial will be granted and it isl further possible that the
mn may be freed and cleared of the charges against him.
In the meantime he has been taken before the authorities author
lied under the law and his measurements taken along with his photo
graph.
The attorney representing theprisoner declares that this is a wrong
proceeding Should the man be cleared of the charges the fact re-
mains that his photograph measure ments have been placed in the
Rogue's gallery. He has no redress and it is OF likely that the rec
ords will be destroyed. The attorney stated that at the mex meeting
OF the Legislature he would offer a amendment to the law providing
for the protection of the citizen who has a case pending before the court
He contends. and seemingly right, that no man is convicted until the
has found 4 flaw in this section of the police practice that needs ad
justment.

Snap Shot Judgment

The result OF the publication of the damaging stories by newsra
persi is receiving considerable dscussion since the Reno Gazette took
snap shot rumors and framed them into a story against several citizens
in Nevada who acted Oh the old State Banking Board The trouble -
took a chance in order to work ascoop The result is that there Wit
probably be hbe suits to follow.
One OF the first instructions while working o the large daily pa
prs throughout the American field is to verify a story. The lAanag-
ing editor is held responsible Tor all slips and while a cub may make
a break it falls upon the man in charge The old rule established IN
the daies is the alleged or arumor" that must be used in connec-
ton where there is doubt. No such positive statement as used
by the Nevada paper is allowed where men their business
The unfortunate affair is that while there is n o truth in n article
of damaging nature a the sam time it is circulated broadly and in
contradict it should it prove to be false. Thus the sting is left where
it works a hardship
1t is q sure thing that the paper will in the future verify its
statements, and while it may be a expensive lesson, a the same
time it is that will not be repeated in a hurry Every newspaper
is liable to blunder, but like every other mistake it is moi forgveable
under the laws or the parties offended.
