tur are at variant, is wholly without
foundation. The SeoJOiry of Agri
culture has repoateilly announced that
in his opinion the money should he ex
pended for the distribution of feed
actually "rare and valuable." The law

and then sends out ear load alter car
load of the commonest variety of com,
pumpkin. squash and turnip seed. This
is no fault of the Department of AgrL
culture. So long s Congress insists
on these 40,000.000 packets of seeds,
the Department will continue sending
them out. But! t take no pride in
being forced to represent as new va,
rieties, seeds which have been on the
market thirty years.
"The seedsmen are not against the
distribution of really rare and valuable
seeds, but ar determinedly opposed to
the government giving away to any one
who wants them, and to a great many
who do not, hundreds of ton of stand
ard varieties of seeds, even at the risk
of apppearing selfish. Strange to say
the seed merchants resent Congressmen
what they have for sale. If the Con
gressmen bought the seeds themselves
would not object, forr there would he
nothing to object to. Everyne knows
that the Congressmen who are the
loudest in behalf of the horny-handed
farmer, 'who has cockle burs tin his
Tennesseee, describes them, when free,
seeds are to be had at the expense of
the government would laugh at the
suggeAion that they personally buy
what seeds they wanted to give away.
Representative Gaines, the great free
" seed leader, after giving a great quan
tity of seeds to one of his constituents
who distributed them to persons who
fed him and his horse, turned down
the request of poor widow in his
district rather than spend twenty-five
or fififty cents in purchasing her the
seeds she asked for. When the sen
dealers hesrd of this case they contrib
uted enough seed to last the woman
lot life. The woman had no horse and
no vote. If Mr. Gaines could have ob
tained the seeds for her at the expense
doubtless sent them to her. The action
of the Farmers' National Congress foL
lows that of the National Grange and
is being supported by hundreds oi
Granges and Horticultural Societies,
Farmers' Clubs, etc In the face of
this conclusive evidence that the far
mers want new seeds instead of prize
penny packages Congress will have to
get a new excuse if it continues this
practice. The seed dealers are deter
mined to fight the pop-corn and radish
seed distribution until the government
either abandons it, or take over the
the seed business of the country. If
we are goina to give the farmer his
seed, let us do it right, and give him
all his seeds and then buy the railroads
and haul his products to market free.
That program ought to appeal to Mr
Gaines."
The Supreme court is faced by some
new and knotty problems in the case
of Sheriff-. John T. Shipp of Hamilton
county, Tennessee, who is charged
with contempt of court, along with a
number of his deputys, in not prevent.
Sng the lynching of a negro named Ed.
Johnson, tried and convicted of rape.
A number of citizens are also charged
with contempt in being members of the
mob. The case is novel in that the Su
preme Court hag original jurisdiction
and as contempt is a question of fact
and not of law, testimony may be ad
duced. Counsel for Sheriff Shipp and
his deputies contend that Johnson had
no appeal to the Supreme Court, and
therefore Justice Harlan) erred in
granting the appeal. Consequently, as
Johnson was not under the protection
of the Court no attempt can be made
out. In case the Court overrules this
point, his counsel will endeavor" Co
prove that the Sheriff did what he
could to protect! the prisoner, and
therefore was not in contempt. Coun
sel for the other defendants rest upon
the contention s to the appeal and
also offer sworn statements of their
clients that they had no hand whatever
in the lynching , of Johnson. They"
accepted as conclusive, and if the court
is not satisfied then the defendants
must be prosecuted for perjury.
Such prosecution would take the case
out of the hands of the Supreme Court.
it is believed. Counsel aesured your
Correspondent they would bave little
difficulty in defending their (clients
against a, charge of perjury. Should
the Court decide that Johnson's appel
was properly taken the question will
arise as to whether testimony should
be taken orally or by deposition. In
any event the action of the court in
throwing the mantle of its protection
around such criminals will likely
have a deterrent effect on nioha where
the prisoner has been convicted and
P1y,Is to the Suprctne Court. Being
hauled to Washington on charge of
contempt of the greatest judicial trib

defending such a charge is a costly un,

Organised labor has set the seal of
Us approval on Representative Stanley,
of Kentucky, and the , Central Labor
Vnion of his city will request laboring
men in his district to support him,
Mi1. Stanley is a member of the Cora
mittee on labor and has supported the
measures advocated by Samuel Gom
per and other champions or . Moor.
Mr. Stanley is a young man serving
hi second term in Congress, and is re
garded as one of the coming men on

persistent and perennial candidate for
the United States Senate were not so
well known, some people might think
his statement thaColonel DuPont, the
senator-elect W allied nimscit wua
the ex-gn king to defeat Senator Alice,
But the appearance of Senators Alice
and DuPont and exSenator BaU at the
White House nails at least one of the
many falsehoods with which Addicks
attempts to bolster up bis campaign.
All three were united in their deter
mination to crush Addicks. Contrary
to the general impression Col. DuPont
is not the head of the IX 1 DuPont
Company, but his nephew. Dr. Wiley
the chemist of the Department of Ag
riculture, whose experiments in feeding
borax and other chemical to hoard
era have given him much notoriety,
smilingly confessed that be is anxious
to experiment with the effect of "booie"
on the human system, but cannot do to
until Congress gives him permission.
The danger that Dr. Wiley might in
culcate the habit of drinking in his
"boarders" will prevent Congress from
ever granting him permission to esper.
hrient on these lines. The views of
the distinguished chemist on "whiskey,"
and, all other whiskies should be "com
pounded" or "adulterated." The good
Doctor's recommendation gave the raw
er whiskies quite a boost but of late
the manufacturers of these brands
have discontinued using his utterances
for advertising purposes. The whiskey
experiment Will come along about the
time Dr. Wiley tries to feed his board
era on cigarettes and plug tobacco.
