The Farmers Co-operative
L niou, which is being extensively
organized in Oklahoma, has as we
understand been organized in the
states {of Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas and is designed to embrace
tho wheat growers of America
before the next harvest. Tim pro-
Imotersof the organization declare
that "It is not the purpose to
1 oppose any mercantile or com
morciat interests, but rather to
secure just and equitable prices for
what is produced upon the farm.
No class of men should be per-
mitted to fix both tho buying and
selling prices on tho commodities
if commeruial exchange. It is the
purpose of this society to assume
tho authority of fining tho prices

J. C.Dillon who served as coun-
ty commissioner of this county for
lour years, was shaking hands with
old friends last week. He is non
located at Bridgeport, and saye
that town is growing right ulong.
Other cities contemplate like ac-
tion. At Cleveland Ohio tho Grand
Jury was suaamonod before Judge
Neff and instructed to investigate
the charge that a combine exists
among local coal dealers.
Senator Culberson of Texas intro
duced in tho Senate a joinit resolu
tiou fir the admission of a thra
clat.coal free of duty
Senator Mason of Illinois intro
duced in the Senate a bill for the
temporary nperatiou of coal mines
by receivers. The bill provides
that whenever mines are un
operated to the prej udiee of the
public the Attorney General shall
apply to the courts for a receiver
and the court shall appoint
reiver if necseary for the general
welfare. When the condition no
longer exists the mine is to be re
turned to the owners.
Thus it appears that what used
to be pronouoed wild dreams of the
populist party, are gaining
popular favor and while the popu-
list party is dead its principles still
livs.
The party that trusts the pspu-
list with the greatest consideration
will 1 ally the largest number of
the populist under its banner and
carry the most practical oi the
populist theories into triumphant
practioal success.
