Col. ION Il. Nall, State Commissioned
of Agriculture. who for thirty years has
been one of the foremost agriculturists
in the State, and who Is conceded to be
one of che most thoroughly posted men
as TO farming interests In Kentucky,
has announced to his friends that at
the expiration of his present term of
Office he will return TO his old home TO
live. Under the Constitution he is not
eligible for reelection, and will return
to private life. Col. Nall has organized
more farmers institutes than any other
Commissioner the State ever had, and
he has been one of the leaders in the
good roads movement.
Col. Nall, in an interview last week,
said he was taking 40 active part IN the
selection of his successor, as that was
duty which devolved upon the Demo
cratic farmers of the State. but when
asked for his opinion on the race he
said he personally was going to vote for
Hubert Vreeland because he believed
him TO be not only qualified. but by far
a more aggressive mSn than the others,
and by reason Of his experience as as
sistant in charge of the office would not
have to consume his time learning the
routine, and would be in better posi-
tion next winter to secure favorable leg
islation for the farmer. such as good
roads and many other things that are
needed with all of which he is thor
oughly conyersant. Col. Nall said that
from what he could hear from the
farmers and others with whom he came
in contact. there was not the slightest
doubt in his mind about the nomination
Of Mr.. Vreeland by one of the largest
majoritles that would be received in
any of the races for State offices

HE PREACHED ANYHOW.
Abilene Man Was Not Scared by
Wealthy Church Patrons.

Rev. E. E. Stauffer who has Just
gone to Lawrence as pastor Of the
First Lutheran church OF that city
has closed very successful pastorate
at Wellington. The News Of that
place says Of him:
"E. E. Stauffer IS a bold, intelli-
gent, fearless and Industrious GENTLE
man. He is good student and a
good preacher. He does not play to
the grandstand' nor seek the ap.
Plause of the devil by preaching
on sensational topics. He is modest
and gentle in his personal minis
trations, but q fighter Of high de-
gree upon every proposition which
involves civic decency. One incident
during his ministry to Wellington
will serve to illustrate the character
Of the man. The community was
agitated by a question involving the
moral condition of this town. Stauffer,
not yet thirty years old, thought it
his duty to preach along a certain
line and did so. An element in the
church which represented most Of the
wealth, was displeased with the SER
mon. A few Sundays later be was to
take up the subject from another
standpoint. The wealthy element
learned Of his intention and warned
him that he might have to hunt
another field II be preached the SER
mon. He gave the matter due con-
sideration and knew the sermon
should be preached. He was young,
somewhat inexperienced, didn't want
to leave, 1t made him somewhat ner-
vous, but he was q man.
"And be preschei the sermon.
HE didn't lose his job and now
the entire church would be delighted
to keep him As his ministry has been
very successful, but be goes to one
Of the best churches 10 Kansas, car
ryiug the best wishes Of an entire

TRUST LEGISLATION.
President FayOrs' Attorney Cen
erals Proposed Remedy.
SUGGEST INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE



Washington, Jan. THE following
abstract of the attorney generals
recommendations regarding trusts
and combinations represents the gem
eral attitude of the administration
on this subject and was authorized
by the president:
The people do not desire the bust
ness Of the country to be interfered
with beyond the regulation necessary
to control combinations where they
act improperly and to correct any
tendency toward monopoly. In this
country, where money Is cheap and
abundant and within the reach Of
keen and capable men, monopoly will
be impossible II competition is kept
free. Small enterprises have certain
advantages over large combinations
and will live and thrive If assured of
an open and fair field. Rebates and
discriminatory rates constitute one
of the chief restrictions on COMPETE
ton. The situation respecting trans
portation determinations and the en-
try of independent capital into new
industries has lately been improved.
It is now known that the amount Of
capital embarked in independent en-
terprises in the past two years at
least equals the total capital Of the
great combinations formed within
the previous 10 years.
It is recommended that all dis
criminatory practices affecting in
terstate trade be made offenses to
be enjoined and punished. Such leg
islation to be directed alike against
those who give and those who receive
illegal advantages, and to cover dis
elimination in prices as against COM
petitors in particular localities re-
sorted to for the purpose of destroy
ing competition. In order to reach
producers guilty of these offenses
who are as producers merely beyond
national control a penalty should be
imposed upon the interstate and for
eion TRANSPORTATION of goods pro-
dnced bv them and federal courts
should be given power to restrain
such TRANSPORTATION at the govern
ment,s suit.
