came through with a margin of

than three thousand votes ahead of
the highest Hughes elector. These

last week reelected National Presi-

take long for that patriotic gentle
man and few Of his helpers like
Hoffman, of Tennessee, to complete
the destruction of the order which
promised at one time to do much
for the interests Of the agricultural
classes. These pilots have deliber-
ately steered the Farmers Union
ship on the rock Of politics on

went down, he can console himself
that men who have made millions
where he made but little in the
American battle of life, went down
with him--and he can know that

The latter day plea Of self-defense
seems to mean that when one man
goes to kill another one and the at
tackled offers any resistance instead
of tamely losing his life, the attacker
is justified in carrying out the in
tention on which he first went af-
ter his man. On this idea it be-
came very necessary for Trabue to
kill Stokes in Nashville and for
David Overton to take the life Of
Judge Lawler at Huntsville. Ala.

1t has been the concensus Of ex-
pressed opinion outside Of the city
Of Nashville that Charles Trabue, a
lawyer, went to the Office Of Harry
Stokes, another lawyer, for the pur-
pose Of killing Stokes and there
shot him down in cold blood. Il
has been the further expressed
opinion that Trabue would never be
made to suffer for his crime and
this opinion found birth in the fact
when the murder was committed
so many leading professional eAd
business men Of that city almost
fell over each other to get to the
murderer to offer him sympathy
and help-just as was the case
