Harvester Company settles for
Breaking the Arkansas LAW.

Harvester SettlcS ioF
Breaking the Arkansas LAW.
The International Harvester Company
surrendered to the State OF Arkansas
rather than stand trial on an indictment
of violating the antitrust laws OF that
State. The company, through a repre-
sentative in Chicago, agreed to plead
guilty and pay a fine of $4,000 on each
Of two counts. making $4,000. The
costs, it is said, will amount TO $4,000
more. A year ago the State of Arkansas,
collected $4,000 in fines from an east.
ern insurance company.
The Exclusive contract clause forbld-
ding agents to handle anything but the
agricultural implements manufactured by
the trust formed the basis of the harvest
err prosecution. The company admitted
that this clause was in their contracts.
1t also admitted that it existed in the
contracts for some time after an extreme
~ stringent antitrust law was LSSsed in
Arkansas in March. 1905. The harvester
company, while acknowledging that the
exclusive contract clause existed in agree
mentS with it's agents in Arkansas for
some months in 1908, representatives OF
the corporation said that it had since
been stricken from contracts in all States.
Texas, Missouri and Michigan, like Ar
kansas, have strong antitrust laws.
There were two cases, one against the
international Harvester Company and
the other against the international Har-
vcstcr Company of America. Each cor
poration, under a compromise, admitted
to doing business in violation of the law
for fifty days. Tn fine is 5000 a dag,
making a total fine of $4,000.
Attorney General Rogers left Chicago
for Little Rock with the $4,000 check,
highly clated over his victory. He said /:
I'VE are getting to like twisting the tails
Of the trusts. We have now beaten the
life insurance and harvester people. I
think we will begin at once to 60 after
several others that are openly violating
the law" ..5.

For the Fourth OF July dance there
are enormous crackers or swapping mot
toes in tri-colored isinglass. An extra
loud snapper Is in honor Of Independence
day, and the caps and aprons packed into
the small space are all in patriotic col
ors. Other dance favors are tiny canes
wound with tri-colored ribbons, and small
pistols which. when the triggec is pulled,
send out a small japanese folding fan,
while those of a larger size shoot forth
diminutive p~arasols in the same co!ors
with the cutest of fringed edges.

Representatives of insurance companies
of New York have decided to deny liabil-
ity of losses caused directly o. indirect
ly by earthquakes in connection with the
San Francisco disaster. San Francisco
merchants are generally Of the opinion
that the companies will not be permitted

surd to claim that a building standing
safe and sound until reached by the
spreading fl mes was destroyed by the
earthquake.

In ten years, in ten cities of the Unit
ed States, the casualties of July 4 wen
as follows:
Persons killed, 100.
Persons injured, 500
Fire loss, $5,G59,00O.
This is a terrible presentment. 1t in.
dicates that the Chinese idea of patriotic
display, as employed by Americans, is
s~anguinary in the extreme.
There is no sense in such celebrations
of the great day. Patriotism surely is
something more than a desire tc explode
powder and make a loud noise. Yet we
seem to believe otherwise.
All over the country there goes up a
demand for a sane celebration of the ma
TONS birthday. 1t will win in time, and
when it does, there will lie no innocents
slaughtered. lockjaw will find few VIC
tins and the day and night will not be
hidcous with the boom and crackle and
splitting Of annon frecrackers and rock

BIRTHDAY OF A PARTY.

In celebrating the fiftieth anniversary
of the first Republican national conven-
ton as the golden jubilee" of their par
tvs birth the Republicans assembled in
Philadelphia kept well within the limits
OF strict historical accuracy, says the
Chicago News. The convention in Phila-
delphia fifty years ago which nominated
John G. Fremont for President was the
first in which Republicans from all the
Northern States We're assembled. 1t prop
erly marked the official and formal en-
trance of the party into national affairs.
Whether it is also to be regarded as mark
ing the birth of the party is a question
upon which not all Republicans agree.

THE FRENCH FOURTH.
fnilartties in the Holidays OF the
Sister Republics.

Sister Repupl1cS'
The French Fourth of July, coming as
if does on the 18th of July, recalls 10
both Frenchmen and Americans the ua'e
of the destruction of the Rastlle ana the
generous republican sentiments thut al
the time vibrated between the two couh-
tries. Just as the Declaration OIL lhue-
pendence was acclaimed by Frenchneh III
those early days, so in America the news
of the destruction of the BastlIe was re-
ceived with hurrahs of rejoicing as a ne"
declaration of the rights of man.
Like our own Fourth, the French l4th
comes in the hot month OF July, "heh !he
rreat cities are deserted by the posing
f. shionabIcs and are in the full posses
sion of the great mass of average demo-
cratic citizens. As on our own Fourth,
if is a day of iced refreshments, with
tba streets and houses decorated with all
kinds of festive flags and bunting. As
with lis, there is the smell of powder in
tbo mir. a pandcmonium of explosions IN
the streets. and everywhere the small boy
with his crackers, cannons, drums, horns'
flags and lanterns.
Eo rly in the morning everybody orna-
ments his windows with Venetian Ian
terms, flags and bunting. Here. again,
the colors are the same-red, white and
blue. Salvos of artillery announce the
dawn: the bells are rung in the church
towers of all France the marines OF eV-
erv warship on the coast fire the great
guns, while in each city, town and village
as the sun rises they chant:
Domino, salvam fac rempublcam "
In city. town and village the trumpet
ers salute the day in the open squares,
and the hot sunlight of July falls on a
population proud to be republican.
In Paris the fee opens on the night
of the 18th with immense torcbliSht pro-
cessions Of choral, patriotic, gymnastic
and shooting societies, led by brass bands
that play the patriotic songs whose words
are known to all-the "Chant du Depart"
the "Marseillaise," the Mothers of AL
SAGE" and Returning from the Review"
With them the multitude sings itself into
a sort of drunkenness as the grand old
words roll from the memory. Then
wee to the i'll advised swell who dares
to smile mockingly. Within the past five
wears men have been half killed for moth
ing more when the hot ghost of 1889
walks the streets of Paris fer one night
in July. Thr~e are fierce words for chill
dren even in those old songs. as

They died, but they conquered!
Both Barra and Viala were boys of the
great revolution. Every school child in
France knows their history.
As with US the boys are much in evil
dence upon the independence day of their
republic. While their fathers and their
mothers sleep or sit beside COO drinks in
shady cafes, amused by a hundred vag-
rant m~ountebanks, the boys of France for
one day IL the year make more noise than
their Observation-Disclosures Star.
