Ridiculous by Governor

Charges OF Mrs. William Morren
wife of William Morreh, alias Nc
Clarity, an escaped convict of this
state, now being held in New York
that her husband had been mis-
treated while confined in Georgia,
were termed ridiculous" by Cover
nor Clifford Walker.
81 shall ask again If 7 ma@ not
wear his chains for him, for [ know
if they put them on him again it
will mean his DEATH" Mrs. Morrell
is quoted as having said at hearing
in New York to determine whether
her husband is to be returned to
Georgia.
81 am tired of these false reports
that prisoners are treated cruelty
in this state" the governor said.
I'VE have humane and efficient men
in charge of our prisons and gangs.
If prisoner is mistreated, the Off
Ger in charge will be discharged
II will investigate every case
brought to my attention. The prison
commission will not allow inhumane
treatment of prisoners, and even
if they did and L found it out l
would make them remedy condi-
TONS" he stated.
Mrs. Morrell told the court in
New York her husband had spent
terrible months as a prisoner in
Georgia. The court will decide on
the extradition petition from Geor-
gia after the arrival of detectives
from Atlanta. Morrell was serving
sentence of five to seven years
here, as a result Of conviction of

BACK TO PEASANTRY' THREAT
CAUSES WESTERN FARMERS
TO TURN UPON POLITICIANS

by government. One OF these days
the railroads should be taught that
the high rates are oppressive and in.
defensible. Has the Interstate Com
merce commission gone into a Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep? 1t looks that way
to western farmers and shoppers.
Beet Growers Hurt
I thought there would be a differ
ent story Of prosperity for the farm
ers when I reached the sugar beet
country in the Arkansas alley. In
stead, farmers are finding so lit
tie profit in growing beet sugar that
they place their hope in alfalfa and
stock, even though the price they
receive for cattle and hogs leaves lit
tie room for profit. The extortion-
ate rate the people were forced to
pay for sugar this year did not reach
the sugar growers. 1t came after the
western farmers had sold their
sugar. 1t all went to the giant con-
Germs that monopolize the sweets of
the American sweet tooth.
With people in some parts OF Eu-
rope on short rations for want of
sufficient bread and want elsewhere,
it is evident that the craftsmanship
is bankrupt that DEGREES inability to
make a decent living to the western
farmers. There is no lack of high
wages in many industries in the east
and big profits to prOfiteers and big
business almost everywhere. 1t is
the Debated farmer who bears the
effect of economic failure of men
in control of affairs: Get back into
the Wallow of peasantry."
Farmers Ready to Strike
How long will the farmers content
themselves with passive resistance
while everything they buy is inflated
and all they sell is Debated and
everyone else is getting higher pay
than before the war? Only so long
as they cannot make an organized
active offensive. They are banding
themselves together, needing the ad-
vice of William Allen White that
"the farmers cake is dough until
he has learned the organIzat ion
game"
The first time "the organization
game" makes Roadway that will at
tract the attention of Washington
will be when it replaces most of the
present congressman with dirt farm
ers or men who are not responsible
for the lack of adequate markets
and the present taxation and trans
portatfon burdens.
The Ides Of November
The hour of that offensive Is No
vember, 1924 There are no such
public outcries as you heard in 1896,
when the west changed it's political,
alignment for the time being. But
still water flows deep. The determi-
nation to act is more deepset now
than then and the prod of hard con-
ditions is goading. Party ties are
gone. The enemy is all who give a
stone when a fair price for the bread
that feeds the world is what they
demand. Politicians who have not
kept their promises ought to con-
struct a cyclone cellar. They will
soon be in sore need of it. The farm
er can help himself some by coop
erative marketing, but he knows he
must also have a government at
Washington which will not burden
him with high tariff and other meas
ures that make him pay excessive
prices for all he has Ito buy and sell
all he grows at less than the cost
of production.
