It maybe a great thing; it may woik from the commission men on to the Yard and even to the buyers. It may be thai il will be supported in a measure by the puckers to fight the Yard Co. These are mayhes, however, and at present, it does not suggest much of anything. The Farmer's Educational aud Cooperative Union of America on the other hand, holds water thoroughly. This doea nol mean more than just that, because it is proverbial that tanners and cattlemen are the poorest learners and coopeiators of nil business men.

That this organization was to fight the Exchanges and to reduce Commissions in Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Joseph. That the packing houses were in sympathy, and that the movement was to commence Sept. 1st. About the middle of this month, there was in Chase county a representative of the Farmer's Educational and Cooperative Uuion of America.

Thia association is to teach true cooperation, to asnist farmers in buying and selling, to eliminate gambling in farm produce by the Boards of Tradu and other specula tors, aud various other purposes. One of its tenets well in accord with the whole is, "To ascertain the average cost of producing staple products: this will greatly assist them in ascertaining imd deciding upon fair prices. To use every honorable means to fix equitable and uniform prices on farm products. With reliable information about crop yields, the average cost of producing the same and the known consumption of any commodity the Union will decide equitable prices and recommend members to ask that price and not sell for less." It is well lor cattlemen and farmers to analyse tt little the 1st named concern. Many of us remember the Ameri-cou Commission a really Democratic affair.

It be? 111 small, the subject of much derision. It grew big enough to sell quite a percentage of the cattle sold at Chicago, Kausss City and St. Ijouis. and then it became interesting to the packing companies who put it to sleep iu no time. It paid all the capital back and the individual who had shipped cattle to it received a reason able dividend during the period the money was invested.

It is well to re going in Oklahoma pretty strongly, and is taking hold in some parts of Kansas, It is Democratic in the broadest- use of i that word, and its object is equity. If concern Xo. 1 will bear watching by ilie intelligent commission man, Xo. 2 will I also be worth while for it has the grass STRONG CITY, KANSAS. We have information from reliable sources that parties, (and we have their uaraes,) who are interested in Cottonwood, are endeavoring to forestall every move made by the farmers of Chase County to establish their telephone line.

Not only have farmers been talked to, but ail kind of concessions have been made. Also the idea that thia movement will be more expensive than tha present, while in the end, these parties claim it will be a failure. The progress to this scheme has fallen somewhat flat in most cases, then to make anot' er move in which they hope to nr cause a feeling of discontr they have written to the telephone eupply house, where the switchboard of Strong City has been 0 red, to the effect that if Xora Bledsoe visited in Hvmer ra of just what the agricultural producer needs, to help him get his real wages.

Will the farmers of Chase county allow this, well we guess not and every farmer should know and feel that the business men of Strong are working for their success in this venture. Don't be fooled by promises and stories for the Farmer's Line will be a success, even with all opposition, tricks, etc plared by these parties of Cottonwood.

To preserve this we are conservative; to enable it to meet the growing com member this "busted and its history, before analysing this new "ttempt.

Such news of it as appeared on July 26. mentioned two points clearly which after the American Commission episode must be analysed closely. No. 1 is thai this movement is under the wing of the packinghouses. No.

2, that its object was to tight the commis serve principles, then why not stand upon your parties platform, and why mile where practicable, the idea was are Mr. Stubby the Capital, suudiv l- was summarily Kiuea, mirmntinC 1 though a good many -statesmen" did which your "principle preserver'' with I sion men whose prices were exorbitant.

Now if fact Xo. 1 is correct aud a cattleman's Cooperative is Uo do plexity or modern civilization, we are ultra radical. We call ourselves Democratic, it is so expressive of what we hope and strive ami pray to be.

If, however, for instance. Mr, La was running for iveraor of this state, would probably get ail our voles. For President of United State3 of America, it would be another question. You perhaps would call us superficial thinkers, and this in the face of existing political conditions we find to be the greatest rea on, why it is well for us to cousidcr closely your fitness as the State's chief servant. 3i El by the -packers, then t-- '-i i Sunday wilh home folk in our city.

J. E. Evans and two daughters of Emporia were in Strong Tuesday. Joe Piunibeiir has returned from Man its broken machine, the republican party, did not include in its platform. Is it fair to answer the convention was dominated by corporate influence?" We think so and in fairness add, the member, of the party do not seem to be.

The record your letter points to is good, and but for the fact that your party in the past has seemed to need loud prompting, all of your record is good of late. We who sign, advise that you add to your "square deal the Initiative. Referendum and Recall. If you do, then it is -'v --r-- indeed has the time come when the Lions are lying down by the Lamb, unless it be the firm of Clay Robinson. It seems hard t-j picture a Cooperative Com mission Co with a large membership ap proved by the packers.

Uutil further not wish to go on record on the question. For mouths afterward few people had an idea that the sentiment against free passes would become so pronounced that there would be any great danger of the coming legislature prohibiting them. But the anti-pass idea grew, and it is scarcely probable that the next legisla ture will dare to refuse to adopt an anti pass law. Some of those gentlemeu who aided iu killing the Pringle bill two years ago are now loudest ia their de mauds for an anti-pass measure. In reviewing the evolution of the anti-pass movement, the Burhngame Chronicle, which is closely allied with Mr.

Pringle, says: "For years certain railroads in Kan sas have been a selfish, dominating. The Democratic party platform is not by any means more than human. In it are very human traits, but also within it hattnn and is working for Jones Maule. Mrs. A.

That commission charges may be larger than they should in equality be, is possible, but sakes alive, unless the organization takes them on merely to get in practice for tougher game. They have entirely netted the point and are proceeding against their own side as compared with other people who should help them.

No indeed! 2jc per head for standing room, water, if your commission mau sees you get it, and weighing on their stales, why it is simply nothing, when you consider the value we cattlemen have made for theii laud.

Therefore while we regret sincerely that it gets into court, for when the title's cloud is so small, the owner is only iu jeopardy from law ed to this one. that one, this machine breaking, or to the popularity of Mr. msevelt. The republican platform and it3 conception, the daily articles in the "Capital" and standing invitation to sign for a "square deal" suggest the fact that all good republicans, though the machine is broken, cannot stand the platform. Your open letter seems to show that you are more in sympathy with the Democratic platform than with your own.
