Suits have been instituted In the
state supreme court against the In

the Standard Oil company on the
ground that they are violating the
antitrust laws Of the state. These
suits have been begun BY Fred s.
jackson, assistant attorney general,
who is acting under the direction Of
the attorney general, @. G. Coleman.
II is charged that the Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey owns and

that Il 10 q trust. In the case Of the
International Harvester company Il
is alleged that the company operates
number Of independent concerns in
the state
These suits, said Fred 8 Jackson, as

the purpose of making these corporations

maintain that they are obeying the laws
Of Kansas and that they are keeping

CONDEMNS PENSIONS.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM DENoUNc'
Es RoosEVELT's ORDER NO. 70.
Col. Harris Urges Ext onfederates 70 OBJ
Serve Old Principles.

W. A. Harris, the exrebel colonel,
and his campaign managers are ad-
vising ex-confederate soldiers to vote
the way they shot. But the colonelsnet
will not catch the union soldiers. Not
only did the ex-rebel colonel do every
thing possible to destroy the union,
but he is actually running on a state
platform which condemns President
Roosevelt for authorizing pension or
der No. 70, which gives liberal con-
struction to the pension laws.
j. M. Dunsmore, the BALD Hornet
OF the Neosho," briefly reviews the ef-
feet Of that order and SHOWS exactly
how the platform on which Col. Har-
ris 10 now running condemns the
Presidents order. He says:
President Roosevelt authorized PEN
sion order No. IS on March is, 1904 This
order was nothing more thai. a liberal
construction Of pension acts Of congress,
and by its terms declared that It should
be considered as an evidential fact that
where an applicant for pension has passed
SO years Of age he Is disabled one-half In
ability to perform manual labor, and so
by graduation to the age Of 10 years,
lent for rating Of $12 per month.
The Democratic party met in st. Louis
in July 1904, and true to the general at
titude Of the party toward Union soldiers,
It could not refrain from criticising in its
platform this very just order by the pres
ident as ian arbitrary executive order"
and the nominee Of that convention,
Judge Parker in his letter of acceptance,
referring to pensions and the Democratic
platform said, 1t denied the right Of the
executive to uslirp the power Of congress
- Such usurpation was attempted by
pension order No. 70. and effect has been
given to It by congress that dared not
resent the usurpation.'
Here we have Judge Parker charging
President Roosevelt with an offense for
which II guilty he should be impeached.
"At that convention Mr.. Harris was an
active supporter OF Judge Parker, both
before and after his nomination and was
himself a candidate~fef vice president ps
Parker man and sought the support
Of the Kansas delegation but was turned
down by that body. even Mr.. Farrely re-
fusing to support him, and Mr.. Johnson
declared that he for one would vote for
ever and eternaDv against such a man.
referring to Mr.. Harris support Of Judge
Parker. and his very evident Wall street
backing.
''The Democratic convention held at
Topeka on April %, OF this year, by its
platform indorsed every line Of this SOL
dier-hating platform Of 1904. And now
we find this Parker Democrat from Chi

1 would not even agree 10 speak ct ~
unless Governor noch Stayed away
from the meeting while he, Harris
made his speech. -,
Governor Hoch arrived shortly after
noon. He was met by q committee a.
the depot and escorted to a hotel. Col
onel Harris had arrived earlier and
notified the Democratic committee
that he would not participate In . de-
bate under any circumstances. He SAID
that he and Hoch would make nom
political speeches. When told that II
had been extensively advertised tnat
politics were to be discussed, he said
some arrangement would have to Dc
made to eliminate the debate feature,
or he would take the first train out
of town without making any speech ~
all. The Democratic committee car
ried the message to the Republican
committee. When Governor Hocn
reached the hall the situation was ex'
planned to him.
"We are advertised to talk politics"
said the Governor, land ! am here 70
carry out my part. Colonel Harris
can talk politics, religion or anything
else he pleases, but am going to talK

The Republican committee carried
the Governors message to the Demo-
cratic committee. Colonel Harris was
implored by his Democratic friends
to face the music, but he would not
