Herbert S. Hadley. against the Interna-
tional Harvester company for alleged
violations of the antitrust laws Of that
State is far-reaching In Its sleep, and,
II It Is successful, 1t goes without say
Ing that similar movements will be in

high-handed monopoly ever attempted

Of dollars through the exorbitant prices
charged By the I~nternational Harvester

State, the trust has compelled all re-
tail dealers to handle only the machinery
made by those composing the combine.
The International Harvester il
is alleged, was organized in 1902 with
a capital OF sl3o,O 600, 900 and absorbed all
the other companies, thereby effectually
destroying all competition and leaving
the users and dealers in harvcsters to
the mercy Of the trust"
The companies composing the monopoly
are alleged to be the Milwaukee Har-
vester company of Wisconsin, the Mo
Cornick IISrvester company OF Illinois.

REPUBLICAN POLICIES.

one of the peculiar features of the
campaign for the republican nomination
for the presidency, now actively begun,
IS that the national platform is practic-
ally written In n broad way. It Is known
:or what the Republican party stands to-
day and for what is to stand after It has
elected the next President of the United
States. 1t would be impossible to return
in the country as a whole previous 20
the Roosevelt administration. The fight
against the trusts must be continued, and
the championship of the rights Of the
people as opposed to combinations, wheth-
er of railroads or of other great interests
must be carried on.
The party has become imbucd with a
spirit of reform that has found express
sion in different States. and 1t may help
us to understand the situation. If We
look at the conditions in our own state.
Under the administration Of Governor
Proctor republicans have Instituted meas
ures Of legislative enactment and adj
ministrative reform, which would have
been deemed impossible not many years
ago. We have enacted laws In relation
to railway control, inaugurated a move
ment for the removal OF grade cross
ings, empowered the railroad commits
sion to compel the railways to make i'm
provements and furnish needed facilities
for the public. We have taken various
public utilities in hand, aimed laws at
powerful combinations, compelled them
to show their books under certain con-
dltions. and in various other ways cham
pioncd the rights Of the people.
II we turn to New York we find a
similar condition Of affairs under the
leadership of Governor Hughes. Follow
ing the crusade against abuses in the
insurance department in which the rights
of ~policyholders were championed, the
plan OF a public utilities commission was
formulated and the commissioners arc

fraud perpetrated in connection with
the merging of the traction interests in
the metropolis, forcing railroads to pro-
vide proper facilities for the travelling
public ms well as to make improvements
OF various kinds and exercising a whole
some control over all kinds OF public
service corporations. Proof of the eni-
cacy OF these measures Of legislative and
administrative reform growing out OF the
zeal OF Governor Hughes Is to be found
In the fact that some Of the corporate In
~terests in New York are Just as anxious
to remove him to the realm OF national
politics as they we're to force Theodore
Roosevelt into the vice-pres,dency for the
purpose Of getting rid OF his wholesome
influence in State affairs,
In Illinois we find Governor Dlneen en-
gagged In a work similar to that carried
on In Vermont and New York as well as
by the Roosevelt administration in the
country at large. lie has championed
the cause OF reform In Il variety OF forms
and public utilities are being devoted TO
the interests of the people In the Prairie
State az never before.

senator to-day, 'In reading the Presl-
DENTS message and In looking through

partments to see tn increased appro-
priations asked for at this season. II We
know with certainty that We were going

Although this senator's concluding re-
mark Is rather an exaggertion. n glance
ct the war estimates this year and tho
various references thereto in the docu-
ments thus far presented to Congress
shows that the administration IS alive to
what 1T believes is the very urgent ncces-
sity of strengthening the national dc
fences by land and sea. One year ago
the President asked for one new bat
tleship a year. In this years message
he asks FOR four such ships. After all

conference to deal with the question Of

base any hope of securing peace on any
International agreement as to tho limita-
