HARVESTER COMPANY
Is HEAVILY FINED

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 20.-Judge
Dana, in the Shawnee county district
court here Saturday assessed a fine
of $4,000 against the International
Harvester company, which the court
found guilty on 43 counts of yiolat-
ing the Kansas antitrust law.
The maximum fine is $1,000 a
count and the minimum 500.
The criminal suit was filed a year
ago by Attorney General C. c. Cole
man, who contended that the Har.
vester company was being operated
in Kansas In violation of the anti
trust laws.
The specific charge was made by
the state that implement dealers in
Topeka were compelled to sign con-
tract with the International COM
pany to handle no other harvesting
machinery save that made by the
International Harvester company and
the schedule of prices was not to be
violated.
The conviction secured in the case
was almost entirely upon the admis-
sion of evidence of a statement made
by Cyrus Mccormick, president of the
Harvester company. at meeting OF
implement dealers in Kansas City
when he told of the formation of the
company and its purposes.
The case was heard before Judge
Dana Dec. Q. The company was
given stay of execution for GO days
to prepare a case for the supreme
court.

ALL GUATEMALA
CELEBRATING TO-DAY

| Guatemala, Jan. 20.-Guatemala
| City Is today in the midst of one OF
the greatest celebrations ever held
| in Central America, the festivities
marking the opening of the new
Guatemalan railroad, which extends
| from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
celebration has already extended
through four days and will continue
several days longer before all the
powder and fireworks have been
burned and the floor of oratory ex-
hausted. Representatives are here
from all Latin-American countries,
and General George w. Davis is rep
resenting President Roosevelt. Pres
ident Cabrera has took a prominent
part in the ceremonies.
The new railroad Is 270 miles
long and extends from Puerto Bar
rios on the Atlantic to San Joe on
the Pacific. through Guatemala City
and zacopa. 1t is the third trans
continental railway in this part of
America and. next to the Tehaun-
tepec line, the most important. 1t
| Is expected to have a great effect on
the development of the rich re-
sources of Guatmala. and In this
prosperity the United States Will
largely share. With the completion
of the new road. Guatemala City,
which has seldom been visited by
tourists and travellers, Is now
brought within five days of New
Orleans and Mobile and seven days
of New York.
This transcontinental line was
commenced twenty-five years ago,
but until 1903 little actual construc-
tion work was accomplished At that
time Minor C. Keith of the United
Fruit company. Sir william Van
Horne of England and other Amer
lean and English capitalists took
hold OF the proposition and pushed
II to completition. There were many
great obstacles to be overcome by
the engineers, as for about sixty
miles 1t crosses a wild mountainous
country, in places nearly mile
above sea level. The commercial
Importance of the road and the great
influence it will have on the future
of Guatemala is recognized by the
government and people. and they are
now venting their enthusiasm in
fiesta of the usual Latin-American
character.

TO STEM CRUSADE
AGAINST THE SALOON

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 2l.-A model
license law to offset the demands of
the prohibitionists, is urged by rep
resentative brewers. distiller3 and
liquor dealers who assembled in
Louisville today for the first national
convention OF the Model License
league. The deliberations of the
liquor men will be continued tomor-
row. 1t is hoped to start n public
campaign in which the model license
law Will be offered as the solution
of the problem of the regulation and
control of the liquor traffic. Prohi-
bition has become a paramount is
sue in the south and is rapidly
spreading throughout the count y,
and it Is the hope of heading off this
anti-saloon crusade that the Model
License league has in view. Liquor
men state that intoxicants are used
in as large quantities in dry" ter
ritory as in wet" states, but that the
trade Is carried on by the mail order
whiskey houses. 1t Is expected that
the proposed model" law governing
the sale of ardent spirits will be in
troduced in many state legislatures
in the near future.

SHE CONFESSED SINS
IN WELL KEPT DIARY.

New York, Jan. 20.-That she
sacrificed herself in order to save a
relative, when she confessed to her
husband that she had been involved
In a number of Illicit love affairs, Is
the plea of Mrs. Kathryn Meredith.
whose suit for separation came up in
the appellate division in Brooklyn
today.
Mrs. Meredith's husband, Daniel
w. Meredith, general manager of the
Stuyvesant Grain company, has re-
piled to his wife's suit for separation
by suing Harry Morley. a rich Phila-
delphian, for $4,000, charging that
Morley was responsible for the alleg-
ed alienation of Mrs. Meredith's af-
fections. Meredith declares that his
wife kept a diary in which she de-
scribed with great detail the meet
ings with Morley and other men.
Mrs. Meredith was a stenographer
when she married Mr.. Meredith on
January 80. 1901. Last year they
separated and Mrs. Meredith COM
menced suit for a legal separation
and alimony, charging desertion.
This appeal was granted by the
Brooklyn court, but Mr.. Meredith
appealed and it is this appeal that
came up for hearing today.
A short time ago Meredith created
a sensation in social circles of Brook
lyn and Philadelphia by charging
Morley. popular clubman of the
Quaker city, with alternating his
wife's affections and offering as
proof diary alleged to have been
written in Mrs. Meredith's own hand.
In which she confessed to not less
than twenty-five wrongdoings with
Morley and other men. Mrs. Mere
dith has not denied the authorship
of the diary. but declares that she
made the confessions to shield a
relative.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
A MAN OF PEACE

nOSS CANNON is a most peaceable
X man. He shuns a fight as his
- Satanic majesty is popularity sup
posed to shun holy water. This may
be stated as a general proposition, al
though it will not hold good as an iron
bound and irrevocable rule, as witness
his fight to kill off the direct primary
law in Illinois He would avoid a fight
whenever he finds it unnecessary. He
fights when his back is against the
wall. At other times he does not need
needed to fight to get a basketful of
heads.
Boss Cannon has found that he never
needs to engage in a fight of any kind
in congress. He knows that when he
puts his thumbs down the remainder of
the members of the house will put
theirs down; that when he wiggle-
waggles the rest will wiggle-waggle.
Like the baby with brand new pussy
cat experience has taught him that but
one thing is necessary to prevent being
scratched; that is to rub the fur the
right way. He never goes out of his
way to rub the wrong way. If, from
the corner of his mild blue eye. he sees
a CLINT i'll another members eye, he
never looks that way again until he is
assured that all danger of the precipi-
tation of fray has passed.
Not long ago Boss Cannon appointed
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
President Roosevelt's son-in-law, to q
place on the ways and means COM
mittee. In doing so he thought he had
rubbed the fur on the presidential cat
the right way His condescepsion
doubtless pleased both the president
and Mr.. Longworth, but Boss Cannon
wants it distinctly understood that in
granting this favor TO member of the
Roosevelt family he must not be under
stood as having conceded that he will
give nod of recognition to the next
pet project of the president that comes
before congress. Not by any manner
of means. Watch proceedings and see
for yourself whether his hand holds an
olive branch.

SENATORIAL COURTESY

TIME lucubrations OF the press
bureau maintained in Washington
Il by United States Senator Perkins
are assuming an excruciatingly pathetic
aspect. If ever an aspiring political
genius put forth pore-opening efforts
to win the confidence of his con-
stituents, regardless of who might suf-
fer by standing within the radius of his
arm strokes, Senator Parkins is doing
so. Unfortunately, however, he is
adopting the very foolish policy of try
ing to strengthen his own position by
weakening that of President Roosevelt,
though why this should be deemed
necessary passes human comprehen-
sion. In none of the letters which Mr..
Perkins has been sending to the news
papers of California since the opening
of congress has he foregone the oppor-
tunity to take q slap at the executive
face. Under date of December q, the
latest of these acrimonious attacks upon
the president, he writes as follows:
political developments in New York,
Ohio and elsewhere clearly show that
the work of selecting a Republican
nominee for president will be struggle
between President Roosevelt and his
organization on one side; and, on the
other. the people, who demand a free
choice and who protest against the
dictation by a president of who his
successor shall be. Such dictation the
people think comes too dangerously
near the establishment of a personal
Government, and the idea is so strongly
impressed that it is safe to predict a
fight against the new departure which
viii cause hot work in the national con-
vention.'
! The humor in these Illuminating
clauses lies chiefly IN Mr.. Perkins pre-
sumption in acting as the mouthpiece
OF 1.-The people," We fail to see how 1t
is that a senator in congress, moving
about himself in very narrow circle.
his horizon bounded by the austere
figures of Aldrich, Platt, Foraker and
Fairbanks, his auditory nerves dead
ened by the banzais of the Rockefellers,
the Harrimans, the Morgans and the
stand pat" subalterns, is in a position
to learn very much about the wishes Of

THE OLD STORY

KIT SPENT the money which stole
from Jacoby Bros. last year In
Il gambling and playing the races
at Ascot" This is the shameful con.
fession reported to have been made by
Elmer r. Farnsworth, who is under
arrest charged with stealing over $4,000
from the safe in Bullock's department
store four weeks ago.
1T is the old, old story. A man tries
to live beyond his means. He yields
once to the voice of the tempter, which
whispers that nobody will know if he
'sborrows" for a few days, and it will
be so easy to make a snug little stake
by betting on one horse or another, on
one card or another. Few borrowers
expect to keep the money they appro-
pirate in this manner. But instead of
a sudden winning they lose, and, losing,
they desperately resolve to try once
more, and yet again. This is the usua.
story. In Farnsworth's case it appears
TO have been downright theft instead of
borrowing"
Wine, women, cards and horsesi How
many men have gone TO ruin through
one agency or the otherI And in spite
of the warnings TO be found in the
careers of once good men who have
made the first false step, the news
papers will continue to chronicle the
downfall of those who cannot resist the
temptation to gain riches through one
stroke Of 'luck."
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-01

1.-THE people" 1.-The people" are not all
corraled north of the Ohio and east
of the Wabash. 1.-THE people" do not
all bend their steps toward Washington
in order that they may impress upon
their so-called representatives in con-
gress their ideas as to who shall be
the Republican standard bearer in 1908.
It is quite evident that if Senator
Perkins reads the newspapers at all
he reads sparingly. limiting himself
largely, to the purchased press of the
country. At any rate he falls far short
Of having gagged public opinion in ref
erence to what are commonly known as
the Roosevelt policies.
There is another feature of these
Perkins productions that should not be
lost to sight. 1t is the mastery man
ner in which the senator from Cdiifor-
MIA keeps showing himself into the lime
light. For example:
ut will be noticed that Senator Per
lSins is on the most important CON-
mittees of the senate, a fact which
would not have been the case were ii
not for his long service in the senate
No new member, however great his
abilities and experience, could hope to
secure membership on committees OF
such Importance, for the senate exacts
from all a long period of probation
The committees of which Senator Per-
llins and Senator Flint are members
have charge of business which particu-
larry concerns California and the Pacific
coast The assignments of the two
California senators supplement each
other, and all California matters are
sure TO have over them their watchful
care"
There are other bouquets which Sena-
tor Perkins throws at himself. LAS
ranking member of the committee on
naval affairs" he writes, Senator
Perkins has great influence on all that
bears on the naval power in the Pacific
our navy yards, construction and repair
of naval vessels, and all that pertains
TO them. Before him come all
plans for fortifying our island posses
sions. and he is the custodian OF al
the secrets and secret information re-
garding this most important work Of
national protection" ETC., etc. etc. III
huge chunks of egotistical verbiage.
The Perkins press bureau service Is
intended, doubtless, to strengthen the
slight hold which this representative Of
california has upon the voters OF this
state. If fewer attacks upon the presl-
dent appeared in these productions OF
the senatorial pen they would have
greater weight-or perhaps it would bS
better to say less buSyancy. But as II
is we believe the statesman from Gait
fornia has overshot the mark; for there
will be found in the ranks OF Repuph-
can voters in this state, outside Of
those known to be allied with the
Southern Pacific machine, few who VII
receive with good grace the thinly veilee
assaults upon the one man in pubic
life in whom they have unbounded con-
Adence. The Perkins letters do Mr.
Perkins no good and the president ne
harm. They are useful, however, as
illustrative Of the ways and means
possible of adoption in the spewing OF
snleen against an adversary, real oil
fancied.
