BECAUSE HE'S A JEW?-Under this caption
Editor c. H. Kittrel of the Dublin, (Ga) Mess
enger takes notice of articles appearing in recent
ssues OF the Dearborn Independent, attacking
the Cooperative Marketing Associations, organ
lied under the Sapiro plan. Mr.. Kittrell is
former representative of Laurens County one of
the most intimate friends of the late Senator
Watson and life long student of cooperation
For years he has been the foremost exponent of
practical cooperation of farmers and in his own
county organized farmers warehouse farmers
exchange and farmers elevator, and is an active
member of the Farmers Union. His paper is in
part owned, according to the sworn report to the
Post Office Department. by the Laurens County
Ku Klux Klan, SO his criticism cannot be CHARGED
to any source of Jewish propaganda, but stands
out in consequence of that very connection as a
fearless, true and honest opinion of capable and
honest thinker. The editorial as it appeared in the
Messenger" reads:
There is attack the Cooperative Marketing
Association by writer in the Dearborn Independent by
the name OF Robert Morgan and if are correct in our
Interpretation Of the attack the principal opposition is be-
cause the wonderful movement worked legally
by young jewish lawyer by the name of Sapiro
The following we take from the genteman's article
that ought to be sufficient anybody as to what Mr.
Morgan really knows about the value of cooperative
keting:
There are in the Application at the Rockies approx
imatey 10000 cooperative marketing associations Most
OF them are successful in that they bring to the
producer about what his products is worth and to the
producer of below the average crops more than he could
obtain for them in any other manner The farmer who
knows his business we'll does the successful mann
acurer and whose product is better than the AVERAGE
does not and will join these associations" II is true
that the originator of the cooperative marketing plan
this country the only that has ever proven workable
is Jew and this to his credit and we are satisfied that
if this Jew had been seeking only to make money he
could have sold for millions to Wall Street hence we
quite that to help the farmer work out tang
bic plan great dream with him and we hope that in
the end he will be amply rewarded
1t stands to the credit of Mr. Sapro that he realized
from intimate knowledge and experience that it was ne
to have that was just as binding on
the members on the other elow-that to sell COOP
eratvey was matter of business and the ultra selfish
farmer had to be tied hard and fast and he the con-
tract that does it.
ne very LIE and environment of American farmer
is of exclusiveness, while European farmers live in
groups
The very first thought of American farmer is ''in-
dependence and the unique distinction of having worked
out the bring real independence to the farmers
of the South lies to the credit of Jew We fear that
Mr. Morgan is being Informed by the opposition to this
great movement 1t is true that the farmer pays the bill
but it also true that he paid the bill before and mag
rifcent bill it Under the old plan the real amount
OF the bill concealed from him. under the new wav
he know what it is Under the old plan especially
with cotton, the product even bought without being
graded and this meant according to Government Report
that it went at the minimum price irrespective of the
quality.
II is the intention of Mr. Morgan to promote the in
erest OF Wall Street and other interests that have e
plotted the farmers of the past by appearing to prejudice
he attack too low to be tolerated by intelligent people
10 appeal to prejudice is appeal to reason and we
are glad to know that the results of cooperative market
ing OF cotton and peanuts is we'll known to those who
Fave experienced its benefits for the propagandists to
ooge Their confidence by stirring preiudices because
ne originator of this wonderful dream is Jew The
