already been secured.
Dr.. Poe declared that in this
matter no farmer can be neutral
Suppose you could all be neu-

it yourself" he says in an addres;
to the farmers of South Carolina
who have not signed the contract
Even then I don't believe YOU
ought to do it or would want to do
it, You would not want the other
people to do all the work and then
after everything was safe, you set
all the advantages without having
done your part.
But my main point now is that
this is a thing about which YOU
can't be neutral. If you do not sci!
your crops with our brother farm
ers then you are throwing Eour
crops into the speculative market
to break prices fer your brother
farmers.

LLOYD GEORGE
PUTS CASE Up
TODE VALERA
Premier Says Confer
ence Impossible I'm
less Sim F'ein Claim
Of Independent
State is Withdrawn

London, Sept. 1S.-David Lloyd
George. the British premier in a
telegram sent today to Eamon De
Valera declared that unless the
Irish leaders claim to the right to
meet the British representatives as
the head of an Independent sover-
eign state is withdrawn, a confer
ence with the Sim Fein delegates
is impossible.
The text Of his telegram follows:
81 have received your telegram
of last night and observe it does
not modify the claim that your del
egates should meet us as represen-
tatives of a sovereign and inde-
pendent state.
You made no such condition in
advance when you came to see me
in July. invited YOU then to meet
me. in the words of my letters, as
the chosen leader Of the great ma
jority of Southern Ireland. and you
accepted the invitation.
f'From the very outset of our
conversations 1 told you that we
looked to Ireland to owe allegiance
to the throne. and to make her flu
ture as member of the British
commonwealth. That was the basis
of our proposals, and we cannot
alter it. %
''The status you now claim in ad-
vance fer your delegates is in effect
a reputation of that basis. am
prepared to meet your delegates. as
I met you in july in the capacity Of
the chosen spokesmen for your
people to discuss the association
Of Ireland with the British COM
menwealth.
My colleagues and I cannot
meet them as representatives of a
sovereign and Independent state
without disloyalty on our part to
the throne and the empire. must
therefore repeat that unless the
second paragraph Of your letter of
the 18th is withdrawn, a confer
ence between US is impossible
The second paragraph Of Mr.. De
!yvalera's letter Of September y, to
which Premier Lloyd George al
ludes in his latest telegram, is as
follows:
'In this final note We deem it
our duty to reaffirm that our posi-
tion is and can only be as we have
defined it throughout this cores
ipondence. Our nation has for
mally declared it's independence
and recognizes itself as a sover-
eign state. 1t is only as represent
atives of that state and as it's chos-
en- guardsmen that we have au-
thority or powers to act on behalf
Of our people. AS regards the prin-
ciple of objective by consent of the
governed, in the very nature Of
things it must be the basis Of any
agreement that will achieve the
! purpose we have at heart-that is.
the finanl reconciliation of our na-
ton with yours. We have suggest
ed no Interpretation OF that prin-
ciple, save It's every day interprcta-
ton, the sense. for example. in
| which it was understood by the
plain men and women Of the world.
when on January 5, 1918 you
said:
The settlement Of Europe must
be based on such grounds Of reason

mittees. with fair, well defined, open and frank
expression of opinions on all vital subjects.
Judge A. B. Spencer. in making the acceptance

insisted that Men of high standing and sound
business judgment are wanted in all the commit

PUNISHMENT

Governor Neff made the statement at Dallas
the other day. in speaking of the crime wave that
murders committed in the state of Tex
sslast year than in the entire British empire The
full force Of this argument perhapsdoes not strike
one until reflects that Texas has less than five
million inhabitants. while the British empire has
245 millions.
1t IS not hard to discover the cause Of this
The British empire contains millions Of savages
and semi-civized peoples yet the crime of muir
der is less than in this highly civilized state. The
subjects Of Great Britain more law abiding
than Texans. The difference is simply this

The general and most spoken opinion Of Lub-

OF all to recognize the true prosperous con
dtions that surrounds Realizing that there is
no soothing effect to be derived from knowing
another is in greater peril than oneself it is plain
that to notice conditions elsewhere does not help
bit. but when compare the general
condition of Lubbock county farmers and those
of other places where crop failures are adding
their disadvantages to the already deplorable f.
