Brooncorn Items

The leading and all-absorbing
question these days with the grow
ers of broomcorn, is the opening
price. Indications from the various
markets seem to denote a lower
price than was anticipated a week
ago.
Lawton, Oklahoma sends the
following prices for the week
there. Short and stemmy $35 and
$45, self-working $50 to SIS, and
choice hurl SIS to 500. The top
for one car last week was $780,.
Acreage there about one third of
last year, and but little good corn
this year.
St. Frances, Kans., the county
seat Of the northwest county of the
state, reports no yield
this year, on account of drouth,
but Is cars Of last years crop on
hand.
The many producers who market
at Liberal will be glad to know
that the first load of broom corn
sold for 500 per ton, was market
ed here Monday by A. l. Ross.
The bush was excellent, we'll
seeded and baled solid as block
of wood.
There are now fifteen buyers on
the Liberal market, and several
others will arrive. next week.
There are now more men buying
brush here than at any one time
in the past five years. 1t is yet
early in the season and we will
probably have twice as many buy
ers here this fall as we had last
WUN0
year, The market has already
shown keen competition, and the
increased number of buyers this
year should make this the best
market Liberal has ever had.
There we're two cars of old corn
and one of new corn shipped last
week, making total of 1856 cars for
the 1910 crop and four cars for the
new crop.
At Rives, Tenn, the acreage is
only one tenth of last year, and
offers of 500 have been refused.
At Ringwood, Okla, there are re-
ported offers of $l25 to $135 which
have been refused. Lakin, Kan
sas, reports an acreage of one
tenth of last year, and offers 500
have been refused. At Ringwood,
Okla, there are reported offers
of $125 to $195 which have been
refused. Larkin, Kas., reports an
acreage of one third of last year,
with quality of crop very poor.
Ashland reports an acreage of 60
per cent with no new corn on the
market. Woodward, Okla, re-
ports an increased acreage of Is
per cent with the early corn sell
ing at SIS to 800 per ton. Fair
view has decreased acreage, with
corn starting at from $50 to $40
per ton. Lindsay, Okla, got the
top for the early crop, one load
there selling for $145 per ton.

THAT MURDER CHARGE.

! Last Sunday the New Orleans
Tmes-Democrat, one of the very
foremost and strongest Good
Government League papers in the
state, published a long article,
about a column in length bringing
into the limelight an old and al
most forgotten charge against
Luther b. Hall and others Of MUIR
dering man fourteen years ago.
This article states that L. E. Hall,
Sam c. Roberts. Horace Newton
and Dan Dalton, residents of
Morehouse and Ouachita parishes
were charged, long ago, with CON-
plicity in the murder of white
man named T. E. Pucket, in
Vicksburg, Miss, on Sept. 2, 1897.
just why the Times-Democrat
or any Good Government League
paper would publish such an art
icle. is mystery.
Neither DR.. Jas. B. Aswell or
Hon. John T. Michel-Judge
Halls opponents for governor
or any of the Aswell or Michel
papers of the State. have, before
the publication of the article las:
Sunday in the Times-Democrat,
a Hall paper, said or published
one word, line or syllable with
reference to this old charge
against Judge Hall. Why sholld
Judge Halls papers be the first
to spring and air this old charged
The Monroe News-Star. a strong
supporter Of Mr.. Michel, in refer
ing to the article in the Times
Democrat. very aptly says: "The
News-Star does not believe Judge
Hall had any personal knowledge
OF the murder. We do not believe
he participated in it in any way,
before or after the crime"
The News-Star further states
mat IL does not believe that the
supporters Of Mr.. Michel or DR..
Aswelf would stoop to use this
old charge against Judge Hall to
gain one vote or ten thousand
votes.
1t seems that the editor Of the
News-Star is as much at sea as to
why the leading Goo-Goo papers
of the state would call attention !
70 this old forgotten charge, as is
The Leader.
1t seems, from the Times-Dem-
'crat article, that in 1897 a man
named Pickett mistreated al
Young lady of Morehouse parish.
J relative of Judge Hall and the
citizens of Morehcuse and Qua
'hlta parishes were very indig-
rant. That in August, 1897

the Holidays.

The Tyler Commercial College
of Tyler. Texas, has arranged this

any time during the Xmas holi-
days. We advise all to enroll as

ing to be gained by waiting until

bank, railroad or business house.
The students work is principally
all individual instruction. and
each and every student is pushed
each day to his full capacity. Slow
students are not overcrowded try.
ing to keep up with fast ones,
and fast students are not held
back and discouraged on account
OF slow ones. It would really be
better to enroll and get started
before the big January rush.

will be given prompt attention
and choice of nee boarding place
with private family at a cost Of
from $3.50 to $3.50 per week for

ASWELL SUGGEST THE
METHOD.

The great mass of the plain peo
pie of Louisiana are demanding
reform Of the conditions of public
administl alton under which they
now live. That this demand has
telling force, and that it is gen
orally recognized. is conclusively
shown by the fact that all three
candidates for Governor have is
sued platforms Of principles deal
ing from beginning to end with
their respective opinions of re.
form. While two Of these plat.
forms-that of John T. Michel
and that of Judge Hall, deal mere
ly in glittering generalities. the
platform of DR.. James B. Aswell
is specific and in detail, showing
unlike the others. not only WHAT
conditions should 'bc corrected
but also HOW ne proposes TO cor
rect them. For instance: DR..
Aswell's opponents say, abolish
the executive patronage" but
they do not suggest any method.
Aswell says: "Call a constitu-
tional convention which shall
write it into the basic law of the
land so that the Governor shall
not have this appointive power"
Thus we have in the Louisiana
campaign Of to-day John T. Mi
chel, the Reformer, Luther E.
Hall, the Reformer and James B.
Aswell, the Reformer. As the
people of the State are demanding
reform and as-very naturally un-
der the circumstances can
didates are offering reform. the
vital question before the voter is:
Which one of these men is a re-
former at heart (which one. con-
sidering their respective political
affiliations. can really effect re-
form (which one has in the past
shown himself a reformer
It is admitted almost generally
that as a reformer John T. Michel
IS a huge joke. 1t is even said
that he himself smiles when he
thinks of himself as "a reformer. !"
He decided that parts Of the gov
ernmental system Of Louisiana
needed reform only when he de-
,ided to run for Governor; no
1oubt, if he is elected Governor
BY some hardly possible chance.
he will as readily forget that he
laid he. was reformer. Beside.
low could the man be a reformer.
f he really wanted tot We all
tnow that his fifteen co-bosses of
he city of New Orleans, to whom
lie will owe his election If by

want REFORM. Perish the

Ollows day, it is from these bos- |
es that he as Governor would |
axe dictation.
A review Of Judge Halls SEN |
torial record and his public ut
srances during his whole career
ails to reveal Hall the Reformer.
r the man Louisiana needs to bet

'ary, his senatorial record shows
