Another thing I want to speak of is the space they give to farmers' and stockmen's societies when they meet here.

The last time the Hoosier State Mulefoot Hog Association met right here in town at the Horticultural Society's room at the State House--all the notice they got in the 'Courier' was five lines in 'Minor Mention.' The same day the State Bankers' Association filled three columns, and most of that was a speech by Tom Adams on currency reform.

You might tell that funny editorial man to give Adams a poke now and then, and stop throwing chestnuts about gold bricks and green goods at farmers.
And he needn't show the bad state of his liver by sarcastically speaking of farmers as honest husbandmen either; a farmer is a farmer, unless, for lack of God's grace, he's a fool! I guess the folks are coming now.
I hope Allen won't knock down the house with that threshing-machine of his.

That's all this time.

Let me see--you'd better tell your editor to call on me now and then.
