Dear Sir:
An editorial in your Yesterdays ri
per seems to indicate that you must
have just woke up and did not ap-
precate the fact that this grain mar
keting matter was not a new question
1t has been discussed for months ana
months and national committee Of
the ablest men in the country studied
the matter for about year and form
ulated the present plan This plan is
now in operation and the United
States Grain Growers Association ~
going concern throughout the
United States
1t has now I26 members in La Sail
county ana thirty-eight grain eeva,
tors in the county under contract and
is in fair way CT succeeding as a
part OF the general plan t'ndoubted-
ly what the board of trade followers
mcst want is controversy to arouse
suspicion ana create i'll will between
members Of the farmers Oreani2a.
tioa 1t has been wen said Omitted
We stand divided We fall and ii th
board Ci trade interests can divide
the farmers then the farmers might
fall. That's the purpose OF the dis
cussianh on the part Of the board O.
trade followers,
Besides II Is not necessary at all
to discuss the mater with The board
OF trade gamblers, board Of trade ele
vators and country bucket shops
They are on the Opposite side iron.
tbs farmers These interest repre-
sent only the BUYERS and q system OF
gambling in grain that is very harm
full to the farmers and consumers
Large buyers Of real grain use this
board of trade gambling system of fu
ttre selling of grain that does not
exist to break down prices Of real
grain and force the farmers to sell
their products at less than its cost,
TO produce
Every elevator in nest Of the grain
growing states has been dominataa
by the Chicago board OF trade. These
elevators and country bucket shops
are a part of the system, and under
present conditions elevators must
play the game according to the rules
and customs of the Chicago board of
trade
The farmers want to have the gam
bling in grain through the selling al
grain that does not exist fer future
delivery stopped, This practice has
been made illegal in Missouri and Min
nesota. and win be curtailed to some
extent By recent enactments Of con
eress. The Lantz bill should have
been passed in This state. II would
not have interfered with any legiti.
mate transaction in real grain, bu,
would have put out of business some
400 or SEQ country bucket shops and

 Lafayette Denounced
 The French government and Gen- eral Lafayette were criticized by the Georgia senator in commenting upon q statement by Newton D. Baker, for mer Secretary of War, that the sen ator's charges were preposterous and incredible" Referring to MT. Bakers statement that France was civilized country" and that word of any illegal executions would have spread quickly. Senator Watson said that France had charged America for trenches and playgrounds used by American troops.
 "Oh, yes. France is not a bowling wilderness. but a civilized country" the Georgia senator continued. from which LaFayette came upon a writ ten contract made with Silas Dean, p1edging this country to make him major general before he would leave France and come to America: and he did not have sense enough to drill a company of soldiers. besides which he sniffled. Some of these days, when somebody gets up here and blows off about Lafayette, I mean to take him down a peg or two. I know La Fayette and Washington knew him. and 1t was not Washington who had him released from that Austrian prison into which he was put when the French army chased him with the intent to kill. It was Napoleon Bonaparte, in the treaty of Campo Formio. Yes, know Lafayette. He betrayed every French government that trusted him, and the only inde- pendent command he ever had in America came very near getting bagged by Benedict Arnold. and 1t was only the James river that saved Lafayette and his command from be '. ing captured"
 Senators differed widely during the three tense hours of debate over the scope of the inquiry. Senators Be- rah of Idaho, Johnson of California

AIRPLANE SMUGGLING
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The French government has re- ceived information after a number of relays that forced landings" of commercial airplanes, operating be- tween London, Brussels, Holland and Paris, are becoming suspiciously nu- merous. Put into the blunter words of the French customs police these forced landings" are for the sole purpose of allowing smugglers of gems and other merchandise of small bulk to cross frontiers without pay ing tribute to. the revenue collecting department.
 Smuggling via air routes seems to have definitely arrived, Judging by the plans of the French government for the mobilization of a revenue de- pertinent force of airmen, who will be at hand to observe the actual causes of forced landings.' but specifically to see that the French law which requires passengers in air craft to remain in place with all baggage until the customs police ar rive, is obeyed. The attention of the customs authorities was turned into suspicion when 1t was discovered through police reports that in each forced landing certain passengers had disappeared before the customs men arrived to make an inspection of the disabled flying machine. Will the poor smugglers be forced to en- gage in night flying to escape the watclfful eyes of the customs air force?

PERSHING SPEAKS AT BOTH DIVISION
 ANNUAL REUNION
Makes Emphatic Deniel of Watson Charges That Sol- diers Were Hanged
 Without Trial
By Associated Press

Nashville. November 4.-"I hope you will think of me as a puddle and oomrade rather than anything else. That would please me more" said Gen John J. Pershfng in talking to aoth division boys at the repnion here today. It was this wish that the hosts tried to carry out for the general.
 While at the Hermitage former home of Andrew Jackson. this aftsr- noon General Pershing was presented with hickory walking cane made from a tree planted by former Presi- dent Jackson. The general returned the gift tc the Ladies' Hermitage as- ssciation by planting a hickory tree near the tomb of "old Hickory"
 Although kept engaged in some part of the celebration too much for moments rest, the general seemed to find everything to his liking. Among those whom General Pershing greeted today were negro voca- tional student at the Tennessee A. and l. Normal school, who lost his sight while serving in France, and another student whom Black Jack" had cited for bravery.
 Besides his emphatic denial of Sem ator Watson's charges that American soldiers in France were hanged with out court-martiai or trial, com
