AS A GEORGIA FARMER SEES 1T.

Dear Sir: AS newspa pers praeti-
cally control public opinion, the sub
sldy OF the press in fayoc of the enc
mics of the comnG2 people is ez-
ceedingly alarming to me- What
can the people do to break this sub
sidy? For instance, The Atlanta
Constitution editorial4y advocates
rural credits, but does not explain
what kind of law it advocates, but
gave great space to the Wade plan:
then, editorlally, advised farmers to
sell cotton at to cents to bring
prosperity to the spectators, and,
therefore, to the newspapers. Then
when the Government postoffice au-
thorities advocates the use of jute
instead of cotton for mail bags, The
Constitution editorially asks for pc
t4tions to keep up the consumption
Of cotton in the interest of the specu-
lators, as we ere not suffering so
much for lack of consumption as we
are suffering from the robbery by
the Government in the interest of
the spectators.
These newspapers know, first, that
the farmers are helpless, as the ma
jority are slaves to the Democratic
party. Therefore they accept the
farmers for a bunch of fools, who
haven't enough sense to catch on to
their brazen, traitorous acts toward
them. The Constitution even poses
as the farmers friend.
Our political speakers will also
take the farmers for a bunch Of fools
when they get up to make a speech,
and try to educate their constituents
and their hearers to the spectators
way of thinking pertaining to mat
tiers of legislation and action along
business lines. What shall we do?
You can't get farmers to think for
themselves. They are like so many
children seeking an education, but
being educated in the wrong text
books. The Farmers Alliance taught
them all they ever learned from the
proper textbooks, and I think much
depends on the right teachings of
the Farmers Union. Then there are
so many traps set 70 control the
management of the Farmers Union
in the interest of it's enemies. The
Farmers Union needs none. in their
own treasury to carry on their own
commerce. Then the question is,
How will they get it? Under the
present order of Government they
will have to organize trade unions
and take advantage of the class laws
now in operation by only lair COM
petien, and let the profits go into
the treasury, stock certificates being
issued for declared dividends, the
stock certificates to be issued to
patrons according to patronage given
to the business.
This is as brief as I can write on
these subjects. Hoping for worthy
comment, am, very respectfully,
Ga. FARMER.

SOME FOLKS STILL THINK II, e..
w. CRAZY,

Dear Sir: If I could write my
thoughts as I feel, l would have
written to you long ago to thank you
for the stand you have taken on
every great issue. I remember the
first time l ever heard you speak 1t
was out in the country, about eight
miles from Atlanta, near Hapeville.
I rode mule-back behind my father
and l remember how the old men
and young would throw their hats
in the air, take off their coats and
throw them up and then take you Oh
their shoulders off the stand. Those
were happy days, about twenty-five
years ago, and you are still going
after them. Some people say you
are crazy, and those kind I always
tell it is because you are just one
hundred years in advance of them
on every line, and twenty years
ahead of the smarteSt and most
learned men of our country. No
wonder they call you crazy: you are
plum out of their scope.

put 1T THROUGH CHANCERY,, ,,


Dear Sir: A land-grabber in the
big city offered ME $4,000 to put
through Chancery and "quiet title
tin him. to- certain very valuable
property Of widow and some Or
phans WhiSl, owing to an oversight,
or through the villiany Of tax gath
erers, he had bought for trife at a
tax sale-about 100000 worth Of
real estate for, say, $500. The like
he had done dozens OF times before,
according to his own say, and made
it stick
In another county I heard, read
and saw signed by good, "awnest"
chancellor a decree which gave the
solicitors of the complainant
some minor orphans-$2 of the
$500 proceeds Of their only inherit
ance, gained" through that court
by said solicitors in chancery' in a
hard fought case in which they had
no opposition.
Another decree of the same court,
and at the same term, gave some lit
tie fellows something like $3.50
each, of their own, and to the same
solicitors in chancery' the $500
residue of the estate for their ardu
Gus work in another ex parte pro-
ceeding.
In still another county a register
in chancery, practicl1g in his own
court, and in collision with the
drunken father Of some motherless
infants, secured to himself a paper
title to their only estate-the unin-
numbered home inherited from their
mother-without rendering or Sc
curing to said innocents one red
cent, either directly or in trust, and
the chancellor signed the decree.
Notice that l did not say he read it,
Or passed upon it.
Such instances could be multi
piled, but would anybody require it?
Again, by the sensible and liberal
law of amendments, particularly
Section 1857 of the Civil Code, tech
meal pleaders are discounted and
practically put out Of business in the
law courts; while, in chancery, that
great tribunal, where substance,
not FORM" is the slogan, you are al
lowed to amend CATER answer) only
ION terms" That is, if your go
licitor in chancery" has slightly
missed his guess as to what his proof
and that of the opposing party would
show, you must pay the "caust, :"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-07-22

however nleritorious your cause may
be, and whether you win cut or not
in the end.
Remedy: Abolish the ckancery
courts, and stop star chamber pro-
ceedings before a single, soulful and
obiging auo.tor, with two solicit
ors in chancery," thus forever doing
away with agreed DEGREES"
Have one court of (sure onough1
general jurisdiction, in which all
matters shall be openly adtudicated,
and with a jury to try the facts in all
cases where the right is not inten-
tionally and expressly waived.
