In Re the Crop IAem Law.

To the Editor of The Virginian:
Sir.--In regard to the OF the Brookneal
was tried at Brookneal June 10th, and pub
lished In your paper June 14th.
The Commonwealth contends that II a tobacco
warehouse firm advances any amount or money
to a farmer and takes crop lien on his tobacco.
that the farmer may do all that he can to grow
a crop tobacco, and the season may be dry or
hatlstones may destroy his crop, or in curing
this crop it may be destroyed by fire, and after
this If owner has used his every effort to grow
this crop and sells every pound OF tobacco that
he does grow with his creditor warehouse COM
pauy and the proceeds applied to his account
and then II there be unpaid balance after the
date named in this loan Is due, then 1t Is a
$50 and confined in Jail not over thirty days,
both"
Now I contend II farmer borrows any
amount of money from a tobacco warehouse
company and gives a crop lien on his tobacco
and said farmer makes effort to produce
crop of tobacco and sells all that he does
make with said warehouse company. II 1t
does not pay half the debt. he has not COM
mitted crime. but II said farmer sells any
part of his tobacco at another warehouse to
or through any other person firm he COM
mts a crime IL he fails to pay the loan with
terest; and further contend that II said
farmers tobacco Is levied in the barns by
an officer of the law and sold and said farmer
notifies said warehouse creditors that it is levied
their interest, the said farmer has done all
he could do and has committed crime
and I further say, that II a farmer does apply
his entire crop to this loan. and makes due
efforts TO make said crop. and 1t is not sum
cient to pay all the debt. then this balance Is
otherwise would be unconstitutional.

THE RIGHT TO KNOW.

The Detroit Journal, in discussing the Roose-
welt libel case says:
public mans personal habits something
with which the public has nothing to do, unless
they impair or affect his activities
Isn't that going little too far? To certain
extent a mans private life is not the publics
business, but the public has right to know it
If one who holds Office aspires to hold Office
has private vices OF gross nature, though
those vices do not affect his activities That
such a man should not hold Office we believe,
will be almost universally admitted yet to deny
that the public has a right to knowledge is to
deny that the public has right to refuse him
Office Is the journal prepared to go that far?
