ANTITRUST LAW INVOKED.

Buyers of lumber throughout the
state, as we'll as lovers of the square
deal, will be pleased to learn that an
action has been brought in South Da
kota against the Centeral Lumber
company which has twenty five yards
in different towns in South Dakota.
The action is brought under the anti
trust law of the state and the charge
is that the defendant company has
sought to crush out competition by
underselling smaller concern, the
Mitchell Lumber company at Loela.
The complaining company says that
an official of the Central company
tried first to induce the Mitchell COM
pany to pool interests, ana getting a
refusal, threatened to drive it out of
business by under sellingat that point.
Under the antitrust law of the state,
a lumber company which operates
more than one yard in the state must
make tn same price at all yards. 1t
is announced that the attorney gener'
al will prosecute the case with vigor.
In case of conviction, the defendant
company may have to pay fine as
high as $4,000 and it can be made to
cease doing business in the state.

REPORTS from towns in which
"Honest Andy" the democratic candi
date for governor, has held political
meetings are to the effect that they
have been failures so far as arousing
enthusiasm. There is no good reason
why the result should be other than
a failure. Mr. Lee is very good
man, a gentleman, and upright. When
you have said that you have said all
that can be said for him. As states
man he has no ability. He has nc
qualification for the governors office
beyond those possessed by thousands
of other good men in the state. He
can lend neither ability nor dignity
to the position. Like the thousands
of others, if placed in that position
Mr.. Lee must depend entirely upon
his private secretary to run the office
as he depended upon Tom Ayers
when he held the position from 1897
to 1901. Under such circumstances
how can there be enthusiasm

in harvesting his grain which seemed
to work on his mind. He was found
by his wife and although dead his
feet touched the floor of the barn.
DR.. Garrison was called and the
facts brought out by number Of
witnesses made it evident that it was

HUGHES ON THE ISSUES.

Governor Hughes, in his campaign
speeches refuses to be stampeded by
the patent ISSUES, which the com
moner has conjured up for this cam
paign only. He declines to recognize
vitality in either the guarantee of de-
posits plank, or in the labor promises.
Neither, in his estimation, justifies
the election of a president upon that
issue.
As far as labor is concerned, what
it chiefly wants, is work and wages.
That is more important than the
procedure which will be adopted in
cases of contempt of court"
As 10 government guarantee OF
bank deposits, it could only be vital,
were there a great evil to be cured by
it, The facts, however, are that it will
cure no evils, not curable by less
dubious means, and will bring in its
train evils that are tenfold more
grievous than those it hopes to cure.
For example:sTen banks closed their
doors in New York last fall. Under
the guarantee plan, the fund would
have been drawn upon for the immed-
late payment Of those claims, mani
q
festly absurd expectation, when the
banks that had not closed were issu-
ing clearing house certificates to keep
business going. It is evident that
the cloud of an immediate demand
for $lOO,0O0,0O0 hanging over bust

ness, would have nulified every effort
of the clearing house to steady the
financial ship, and make il respond
once more to helm and sail.
But, conceding some merit in Mr..
Bryan's proposal, Governor Hughes
believed the vital issue is whether we
shall have money to deposit, not whet-
er we shall have a guarantee of those
deposits. This led him naturally to
the consideration of the democratic
proposals for the roofing out Of trusts.
Mr. Bryan's remedies were two. First,
he would place products competing
with trust-made goods on the free list.
This might crush the trusts, and it
might not, but it certainly would
crush the small American competitor
of the trusts, and tend to make il a
matter Of indifference whether his
bank deposit was guaranteed or noti
As soon as he lost his business, he
would lose interest in the guarantee
question.
Mr.. Bryan's second remedy was to
prohibit the manufacture by any one
concern Of more than SO per cent Of
any certain article. Governor Hughes
keenly analyzed this proposition, un-
Til its absurdities were plain, and dem
onstrated that it, too, would make less
business in the country, instead of
more, and inextricably confuse manu-
featuring. Minneapolis Journal.

EXTRACTS FROM DEMOCRAT

The following plank was directed
at the aggressions of the trusts and
corporations:
We, the representatives of the de-
mocracy of the United States, in ma
tional convention assembled, re-affirm
our belief in, and pledge u loyalty
to the principles of the party.
We rejoice at the increasing signs
of an awakening throughout the coun-
try. The various investigations have
traced graft and political corruption
to the representatives of predatory
wealth and laid bare the unscrupu-
lous methods by which they "a de-
bauched elections and preyed upon a
defenseless public through the sub
s~ervient officials whom they have
raised to place and power.
The conscience of the nation / snow
aroused to free the government of
the grip of those who have made it
the business asset of the favor-seeking
corporations; it must become again

istered in all its departments accord
ing tt the J~effersonian maxim of
Equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none"

shadowing issue which manifests it
self in all the questions now under
discussion.
OficehoIders.
C%oincident with the increase in ex-
penditures is a like addition to the
past year 23,784 were added, costing
SIG, 156, 900, and in h past six years
of the Republican administration the
total number Of new Offices created
| aside from many commissions, has
been 99,319, entailing an additional
expenditure of nearly seventy million
dollars as against only 1929 new of
fees created under the Cleveland and
Mckinley administrations, which in
volved an expenditure of only six
million dollars. We denounce this
great and growing increase in the
number of oficeholders as not only
unconstitutional and waste, but also
as clearly indicating a deliberate pur-
pose on the part of the administra-
ton to keep the party in power at
public expense by thus increasing he
number of its retainers and depend
ents. Such procedure we declare no
less dangerous and corrupt than the
open purchase Of votes at the polls.

MANY AFTER CENTURY SETS
Washington BoOklovers Seem to
Know Their Little Book

Than Half Price.

ciate a good thing. especially when ii also

nifty 10 secure a great reference library at
fraction only of its original cost. and

all came about through the extensive and
unusual effort Of the well known COsm0-
pOlitan Magazine to add a large number
Of regular subscribers TO its list, and iu
order 10 DO this quickly and surely it
conceived the IDEA Of making an offer so
attractive as to prove almost compelling.
The Cosmopolitan therefore, secured
exclusive control of the entire edition of
the Century for ls0I-tN, il increased the
size of the edition To the largest ever
printed, thus reducing the cost of indi-
vidual sets, il being understood, however,
that the former high standard Of me-
chanieal excellence was TO be strictly
maintained
Then all the big commissions formerly
paid TO book agents were cut out and all
middlemen's profits were diminished
making possible "a price heretofore un-
heard of in connection with the expensive
Century set,
The first distribution of the work at the
little price took place last spring after
Congress had adjourned, but hundreds of
WashingtOnians took advantage Of the
exceptional opportunity offered TO add the
work 10 their libraries, and the allotment
10 this city was quickly exhausted
Woodward q LothrOp tried TO arrange
another distribution, bus the entire edi-
ton had been appOrtioned among the
large cities, 10 be distributed in accord
anCe with the Cosmopolitan's national
subscription campaign.
When the panic came however. It was
decided to cut down the apportonment to
certain cities, and the limited number of
sets thus released were sent here for dis
tribution, and most of these sets have
now been claimed, so that the distribu-
ton may now close any day OF hour
Those who apply promptly, therefore.
may get the $50 Century at something
less than half price. and II can be Sc
cured in any one cc the four regular
STYLES in which the work has always been
bound but in order 10 enjoy a fun choice
application should be made without de-
Law.
1t is said that the Cosmopolitan thus
offers the Century without present profit,
but to largely increase its subscription
list and consequent advertising patronage.

tributiOn al a nominal charge per set to
