The Freedom of the Press

OA GkA~ ~ n WV
space in publications do not need to
invoke the Congress of the United
States to determine circulation.
Certainly, there should not be any
more legislation along the lines Of
the provisions above referred to.
Certain classes of periodical publ
cations, notably those generally
termed ''local weeklies," have
scarcely been touched by hostile leg
islation or rulings. They also enjoy
the especial favor of being carried
in the mails within the county of
publication without paying postage.
But it is quite evident that the men
and corporations hostile to free
and fearless Press are now ready to
begin their subtle and gradual attack
on the classes Of publications that
heretofore have escaped. Those hos
tile to the freedom of the Press have
indeed been shrewd in their move
ments. They knew we'll that an at
tack On the Press in general would
stir up resentment and alarm that
would defeat their schemes. They
have been careful to leave to the
last for their undetermined attack
those periodicals that are nearest to
the people-the so-called local pa
pers But those familiar with the
conferences among certain enemies
Of the freedom Of the Press know
that now those enemies will shrewd-
ly use the unfairness and injustice
of restrictions and regulations ap-
plying to only part of the Press to
justify the application of these re-
strictions and regulations to the
other periodicals, notably the local
weeklies. The freedom of that part
of the Press that stands nearest to
the people, as well as that part of
the Press that does SO much to
mould public opinion, and that has
been so enterpr'sing and fearless in
exposing schemes to make the dis
parity in worldly possessions all the
greater, is indeed in imminent dan
ger.
The Farmers National Congress
is especially interested in the free
dom of that part of the Press-local
weeklies and farm papers-that is
closest to farmers, but it pleads for
freedom and justice to every period
AS yet, the Press is all powerful
for the public good. If every pub
Usher of periodical publication will
at once address letter to his mem
Der of Congress and the Senator'S
from his State, protesting that there
shall be no more legislation to ham
per and restrict the Press, those let
ters will be needed. To make up
for those that may not go to this
trouble, it is urged that letters be
sent also to the members of the
Postoffice Committees of both the
House and the Senate.
F'Thou art the man." Please do
not expect your duty to be attended
to by some one else: and the best
time to do right thing is always
right now.
Respectfully yours,
FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS.

Lawton, ....O Oklahoma
LAwton Great in Editors

On two or three occasions we
have complimented Lawton on
being great in statesmen and
business men, and now we wish
to add what we have long had in
mind. and that is that Lawton is
also great in its present news :
paper editors. Notwithstanding
that newspaper men are above
the average; that they make and
unmake the other fellows. there
10 not q town or city in Oklaho-
ma that can boast of more able,
conscientious. honorable, unself-
ish and clean gentlemen than the
editors Of the morning and even
ing papers of Lawton. Col.
Gregory, editor of the News and
Star. and Hon. John N. Shepler,
editor Of the Constitution, are
men of lofty character, and are
doing more to make a Greater
Lawton' than any dozen men in
it; and that magnificent city
should be correspondly proud of
them, and the business men
should give them far better sup
port than the advertising columns
OF their papers Indicate.
Lawton might spare a few law
yers, doctors, merchants, and
men in many other lines of busi-
ness and still continue to grow
and prosper; but should they be
compelled to do without one or
two good newspapers, the city
would dwindle and become a
mere county seat town and a
poor one at that. The better the
newspapers, the better for the
town or city in which they are
published. 1t is beyond our
comprehension why the mer-
chants and other business men
of Lawton do not realize this
more fully and give their indis-
pensable newspapers and hard
working boosting" newspaper
men the support they so ably
earn and richly deserve.

how are the farmers TO hold cotton :?

cotton should appeal with great deal
Of force TO all the people Of the South

Farmers' champion. (Elgin, Okla.) 1912-1922, 1913-05-01


From what we have been able
to learn, we are compelled 10 say
that it is the most promising
plan to secure for the producer
Is cent per pound for his cotton
ever devised. The plan is as
follows:
The corporation contracts for
the farmers cotton, the farmer
paying Sl.00 per bale. The cor
poration pays the farmer. in
cash, 75 per cent of the market
value of the cotton, and issue to
him scrip bearing 6 per cent in
terest in any amount equaling
the difference between the cash
price paid and the price Of the
cotton at l5c per pound. In
other words. the corporation
buys the cotton at 15c per pound,
paying in cash rs per cent of the
market price at that time, and
giving 6 per cent scrip for the
remainder. If the cotton is SELL
ing for l2c the farmer is paid &c
cash and given script making the
difference between that and l5c.
Below We publish couple of
letters. one from Corporation
Commissioner Watson, and the
other from the President of the
Texas Agricultural College.
These gentlemen have delved
deep into the plan and rcspon-
sibility Of the corporation and
would not give it such indOrse-
ments if they even thought there
was shadow of suspicion or
weakness attached to it.:

Ny Dear Sir
Replying TO your letter Of the 23rd
inst. relating TO the Southern States
Cotton Corporation, desire to state
that the movement should commend
itself to the earnest thought of the
farmers and business men of the
South. The old methods Of market
ing cotton are diametrically different
from the average business principles
known TO the CONNER cial world Ever
since cotton has been a commercial
product it has been rushed from the
fields to the market in fashion that
would seem TO indicate that the de-
mand would entirely cease in short
its doors forever against the staple;
and the larger the crop the madder
the rush Every bale Of every crop
made in many years, if not all the
years, has been needed before another
crop was made This state Of affairs
will continue TO exist many years TO
come.
As the mills must handle every
pound that is made before IL is in
shape for use, it stands TO reason that
they must furnish the money to pay
for II. Does any one believe that the
mills can handle it, pay for il, and
warehouse il in the short time in
which the crop has been piled on the
market? They have never had the ia
cilities, financial and otherwise, and
