! would like to know Who "Blll
Simpson" is, but If probably doesn't
make any difference, for Who ever
he is he has hit the catalogue house
business Just about right am
furninst these large cities controll-
ing everything. 1 believe We ought
TO do little Of this controlling busi-
ness ourselves. The harvester trust
vent to work to drive the smaller
fellows out of the business and have
succeeded 20 veil they have really
comered the entire harvester trade.
Then We have our nail trusts, hard
ware trusts and trusts of all kinds.
am not exactly satisfied With this
idea of shipping our cream to the
large central creameries where it
looks to me like an effort to drive
our home creamsries cut of business
and then they will pay US whatever
they please for our cream and they
viii control the price of butter as
well as the price of cream
There is danger in such things
and for one I do not propose to har-
Dor the mail order and Catalogue
house trusts. 1t seems to me our
homs merchants occupy the same
relation to US As the small manufact- |
urer does to the different trusts. If
the big fellows once get hold of US
We are their meat.
The things "Bill Simpson" says
in his letter to you are just about
right. This nonsense about our
home merchants making too big a
profit I believe is all wrong. It
seems to me any man capable Of
reading and comprehending the way
business is done nowadays, knows
that competition in all lines is so I
strong that it il pretty near impos-
sible for man to charge more than t
he ought to fer any length of time. i
Suppose one Of the merchants of our
town should ask me or any one else T
a dollar profit on an article he ought a
% sell on twenty-five cents pront, b
1ov long would it be before the n
,ther fellow, selling the same thing, .
you'd see this chance of cutting D
lnder the man Who wants such 1
arge profit and get the business? ii
l remember once of reading a a
ecture delivered by the professor fc

The effect Of the Svayae case
upon other federal and circuit judges
has been for some time topic for
discussion among representatives
and senator's, and it has just become
known that a series of impeachment
trials is possibility, owing to GER
tain information obtained from the
treasury department concerning the
manner in which some of these gen.
tlemen have made out their expense
accounts. II is generally conceded
that the prime charge against Judge
Svayne, of Florida, is that he
charged ten dollars a day for his
expenses, when as a matter of fact
his expenses did not come to this
large total. A number of other
judges have been charging the gov
eminent ten dollars day for their
expenses, and this has led to the
inference that other judges than
Svayne have swollen their expense
accounts unnecessarily, and this in
ference is what makes it possible
that other impeachment trials will
follow.
