WESTERN UNION
ANDSTATEDEPT.
in OPEN CLASH
Over Unpaid Bills, SAYS
One; Over Gable,
Saws Other

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-(By
Associated Press. 1.-THE long-stand-
ing controversy between the state de-
partment and the Western Union
Telegraph Company has reached the
state of an open break, the COM
many refusing to handle any further
cable messages for the department,
except upon prepayment of tolls.
The company's order was issued No
vember 10. it was said today at the
department and ostensibly was to ap-
ply to all departments of the govern
ment 1t was understood. however,
that messages sent by other depart
ments have been excepted informally
from the ruling.
The Western Union is stated to
have based its action on delay by the
department in making payments on
cable messages previously handled.
Department officials stated today,
however. it was their opinion that
the step was in retaliation for fail
ure of the department to permit the
landing of the cable at Miami con-
Meeting the Barbados with the Brit
ish cable from South America.
Several months ago the Western
Union applied for an executive per-
NIT to land the cable at Miami, but
the state department was said to
have demanded a copy of the con-
tract between the Western Union
and the British company owning the
connecting South American cable
line. The copy was not Forthcoming
and the permit was withheld. Some
time later copy of the contract was
delivered to the department, but the
nermit was still withheld. it being ex-
planned officially that action was be-
ing deferred until after the meeting
of the International Communications
!. Conference now in session here,
AEhich is considering the whole ques-
Zion of world communications.

III ANChbuSSs
WHITESBURG, KY, Nov. 16. -
Fess Whitaker. rough-rider, author,
school teacher, jailer, prisoner in his
own Jail, and finally county Judge,
has got more doggone friends in
Letcher county than any feller in
these here parts"
And all these friends from the
backwoods of Kaintuckees jes' ma
turally went to the polls and voted
Fess into the judgeship.
"She's landslide" said Fess, from
his cell window!
And "she" was!
Deputy Jails Him.
Which all puts Fess into a mighty
unusual situation. Some time back
he drew three-months' sentence for
getting all 'moonshined" up and tax
ing part in a political argument.
His deputy, Mack Yountz, put him
behind his own Jail bars.
But, huh! Fess just took out his
keys and let himself into the sun
shine. He left a note behind:
Needn't look for me. Am gone
to the tall timbers."
Later on he returned to Whites
burg and was rearrested. He carried
his case to the court of appeals and
was released on bond.
Six Months Term.
In the mean time the grand jury
indicted him for jail-breaking and
handed him a six months term.
He was made a trusty and took
charge of the Jail garden. Flowers
seemed to take on new life, and
townsfolk looked on and admired his
handiwork with trowel and spade.
Then Fess discovered that the
whole town and countryside thought
him a martyr.
"Wall," says Fess, guess I'll run
for county judge"
He filed too late to get his name
on a regular ticket-so just ran as
Fess Whitaker While his opponent
stumped the county from the Vir-
ginia line to Bull Greek and back,
Fess sat in his cell and worked on
''Valleys in the Mountains" a book
he plans to have published soon. And
once in a while he made a speech
through his cell window.
"If Fess can make a jaiiyard beau
tiful, what kahn he do to our coun-
tv?" was the general thought going
the rounds.
Fess wrote letter to the town
paper in which he said:

unpleasant surprise to Paris.
Newspapers here agree that Eng
land probably France will forbid the

fall of Venizelos. will still further

The Embattled Farmers.

The farmer is and always has been
the cornerstone of this republic. Cor
nerstone? He is we'll nigh the whole
foundation, in fact pretty much the
edifce. It was the farmers who made
the thirteen colonies, decreed indepen-
dence, wrote the constitution, devel-
oped the country, and who today viii
save our institutions and perpetuate
the nation when he fully understands
the issue and is able to clear himself
of the traps set for him by plausible
rascals.
The farmer is natural conserva-
/ tive. He is the natural American as
well as the original one, and he still
constitutes the court Of last appeal in
/ this country.
Early Legislation was largely in the
farmers interest, and established him
as the main estate Of our free republic
can realm. The homestead law de-
termined the character Of all our west
pretty much from the Appa1achians
to the Pacific.
So well provided for was the far
/; mer both by nature and by law that
he has not been demanding much since
the civil war. True, passing condi-
tions have at times urged him to take
up the panaceas designed to cure rail-:
roads, or mortgages, or middlemen,
but for himself and his status the far
mer has not been demanding much.
He ought to have some things, new
ertheless. As political and economic
L L.
ter than to .legislate to keep the farmer
on, the soil, to keep the land in the
working farmers possession, to fos-
ter the farmers welfare, provide for
| his education, consider his convent
promote the interests>of his class.
The farmer is the one indispensable
, unit for a republic. It was the Ameri-
lean farmer who really curbed Ameri-
can business when it had grown OBJ
streperous. It is the American far
mer who will curb organized labor
which today has somewhat exagerat-
ed estimate Of the function it per-
forms of the power it can exercise.
The common sense of the American
farmer before he concludes, is going
to jolt excess of labor action, just as
in Roosevelt's presidency it jolted the
toploftiness Of the supermen Of bust
ness. The farmer is the balancewheel,
the leveler. He proposes to continue
this republic unchangeably American,
] to continue it as land Of opportunity
to the sef-helper and not as a board
ling house for lazy agitators and I'M
j productive anarchists.
His interests are American, and 50
|are his demands. Minneapolis Jour
nal.
