The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1915-08-20

II the allies are conspiring to depress
the price of American wheat, we have
| a right to hope that their Vaccinations
may continue. With Umatilla county
wheat at around 80 cents per bushel,
their schemes are surely not particu-
larry malevoIent. Growers wanting
more would likewise want an entire
flock of automobiles.
Nevertheless, the views Of Market
Editor Cohen Of, the Oregon Journal
are interesting. Here IL what he says
in Sundays paper:
1t begins to look as IL European
nations are trying 10 make good their
threats to purchase wheat in this
country at their own price. Divers
methods Of accomplishing this end
have been utilized. but success or the
movement has been by no means
marked to date.
First Of all plans to beat down the
price Of wheat In this country was the
report sent broadcast that the Euro /
pean crops were going to break all /
records this season. This having |
proven false and the price OF wheat
naturally stimulated thereby. II be-
hooyed the press agents Of the Euro

pean nations to try some other tack.
The probable opening OF the IJar-
danelles was one rumor that the Eng
sish government sent afIoat as
neans Of depressing American grain
prices. Then 1t was cabled that the
italian government had decided to
cut out speculation in the wheat
market. This. too, had an effect up
on the price.
Those Independent OF the market
can see but one thing In the bearish
raid on wheat prices this week-that
through the house OF J. p. Morgan &
Co. the European interests propose TO
bully the American wheat growers
into selling. BY tying up with such
strong International house, II was
likely figured that the financial in
nuence would be sufficient to lie up
funds so that farmers would be forced

THE GEORGIA RI.or.

The brutal lynching of Leo M.
Frank by Georgia mob was the foul
est of crimes against American law,
justice and civilization.
1t would have been a despicabIy
criminal act had there been no ques-
tion Of the victims guilt. It was dou-
bly, so when his innocence was almost
conclusive except to the minds Of his
Georgia prosecutors.
Few dispassionate readers Of the
comprehensive reviews of the Frank
case presented by William J, Burns,
detective, and C. P. Connolly, lawyer
and writer, could remain unconvinced
of the cultured Jews innocence and
the black guilt of his accuser-a brutal
and degraded negro.
Hounded by the Atlanta police. be-
trayed by the Georgia courts, unpro-
tected by his jailers, murdered by
cowardly mob, the fate Of Leo M.
Frank would nevertheless be prefera-
bic to that Of his IawIess assassins
when they stand before the final Bar
Of Judgment.

his special locality. One was
from the West, one from New
England and the other from
New York. Two men had told
of marvellous doings of trains,
and it was distinctly up" to the

Now, in New York, "he said,
