In Governor Mann Virginia has
a Chief Executive of which any
state might be proud. Twice in
particular he has demonstrated
that he is the real Governor of
hisState and not a mere figure
head. When the wealthy young
wife murderer, H. C. Beattie,
was condemned to die in the cleo
trio chair Gov. Mann stood firm
and refused to commute his SEN
tence to life Imprisonment, and he
was vindicated in his position by
the confession of Beattie made
public just before the execC-
ton.
Every possible legal step was
taken and every technicality re-
sorted to by the attorneys for the
Aliens who were recently execu-
ted, in order to save their lives,
but Notwithstanding the great
est pressure was brought to bear
upon the Governor he refused to
exercise clemency in their behalf.
Would that all states could boast
of such a Chief Executive.

John Pierpont Morgan, the
greatest financier, perhaps, that
the world has ever known,
is dead. Many and varied are
the articles that have been and
will be written concerning him
and his life. The question as to
whether the world is better off
because of his having lived we
will leave for others to settle,
reserving the right, however, to
express our opinion that no man
ever honestly accumulated as
may millions as did Morgan with
in the brief period of a lifetime.
That he could not have grown
so enormously wealthy without
grinding tens of thousands be-
meath his feet.

IS IT TRTE.

Representative o. Foley & Co.,
Manufacturers of patent med
icines has recently been in West
Liberty and Morgan county in
the interest of his company, and
while here he made the state
ment, rather boastfully, that he
was getting advertising contracts
with the country newspapers
throughout Eastern Kentucky
cheaper than he got them last
year-that the country papers
were actually lowering the rates
for advertising such nostrums as
Foley, Kidney pills and Foley's
Honey and Tarr, don't vouch
for the truthfulness of this asser-
ton. | for one took it with a
liberal sprinkling of salt. | hap
pen to know, in a general way,
something about the rates paid
by the patent medicine companies
for advertising and | fail to see
how they could be lowered very
much without putting the minus
! ~ sign before them. lam not
prepared to believe that the pub
fishers of country newspapers
are diminishing their advertising
rates at this time when they have
every reason on earth to increase
them. Any hustling newspaper
can easily fill it's columns with adj
vertiSing that is more desirable
than patent medicine ads and if
such ads are carried the advertis-
ers should be made to pay full
rates therefor. Why should you
carry an ad cheaper for a patent
medicine concern than
you do for your local merchant?
There is no reason on earth why
you should and if you do your
home people ought to boycott
you.

ETC., and $1,000,000000 of this amount
finds its way into the pockets of the
ever present middlemen.
1t is estimated that the southern
farmers secure credit by paying $780,
100000 in excessive interest each
twelve months. .t
All OF this tremendous waste of mon
ey is made possible through lack of
cooperation on the part of the garden
ers and farmers, while at the same
time 1t makes the city man pay a much
higher price for the produce than he
should.
Among the men in big business en-
terprlses cooperation has been recog-
nlzed as the golden key to success in
the twentieth century. Cooperation
and close organization, however, are
products of education, and education
Is the weak point in most Of our ru-
raj communities. Cooperation among
farmers and growers has failed largely
because the mass of our rural popula-
ton has been poorly educated and at
the same time scattered over wide
territory In the future our success in
organization and cooperation among
farmers, gardeners and fruit growers
will lie in better schools, in better
TEACHERS, wide awake ministers and q.
closer Community life.
Versailles is finishing a successful
year In cooperative work with its Far.
mers' Union Supply company. Last
summer 119 farmers and stockmen
took stock in the company and its
success was almost immediate. AS the
stockholders in this company are large
~ growers of Burley tobacco and rails
ers Of blooded stock it will be seen
that the union can do very little as
selling agent. The main work of the
past year has been as buying agent;
and In this particular line 1t has been
a great success.
The first years buying business will
amount TO about $4,000. Large
amounts Of wire fencing, field seeds,
farm machinery, paint and coal have
been bought both from jobbers and
wholesale men. The first years bust
ness has been good enough for the
members of the union to receive @ per

Notwithstanding the predic-
ton of certain people that no one
would vote in the Courier's straw
contest the voters have began to
express their choice. The idea
seems to be prevalent in some
quarters that the name of the
voter and the candidate for
whom he voted will be divulged.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. 1t has even been
whispered to US that certain can
didates were doing all in their
power to discourage the straw
uote. If this be true it is
through cowardice. No candi-
date who expects win on his
merits need be afraid of the
straw vote. No voter who wants
the best men nominated need be
afraid to cast his vote. The
straw vote only gives the people
a chance to express their prefer
ences dispassionately and free
from all alliances or external in
fluence. If any candidate has
been coldwatering the proposition
it is because he recognizes his
weakness before the people but
hopes to ride in to Office on the
shoulders of some more popular
man.
