KANSAS COAAENT

HARVESTER COMPANY'S THREAT.
Wnile seeking in the hearing at Chi
caeo TO convince the special commits
sioner, Henry =. Ganse. that it has not
peen guilty OF restraint of trade" the
International Harvester company at
the same time gives out a threat OF
what 1t will do If 1t loses the case
brought against it by the state of KAN
sas: The harvester company says 1t
will retire from the state and make its
business wholly interstate commerce.
Ihis would result in the abandoning
OF sales through local agents, and the
withdrawal of a large number Of en-
ployes from the state The threat is
not an idle one and is worth while
considering.
In the first place Kansas can hardly
get along without the International
Harvester company. 1t controls most
OF the good harvesting machines made.
Kansas would also prefer to have these
machines sold through local agents and
would like to see the local repair shop
of the company maintained. But Kan
sas has an antitrust law and this COM
pany is charged with violating that
law. The company claims Ii abandon
ed it's practice Of requiring local agents
to handle none but its make OF ma
chimes several years ago. This may be
true. But 1t has not yet made answer
to the charge that it is attempting to
compel users Of it's machines to use
atty of not making necessary repairs
in these machines. This is a direct
stab, II true, at Kansas state insti-
tuition, the penitentiary binding Irvine
plant. that has been the means of saw
ing Kansas farmers many thousands
of dollars.
There can be no doubt that the in
ternational company is one of the best
trusts. as trusts go. 1t has reduced
rather than advanced the price Of ma
chimes since the combination was form
ed. It has not until recently been
vicious in its methods. There is no dis
position to prosecute 1t, but it must be
made to obey the laws of Kansas even
at the cost of driving it from the state.
If the company can show that it is not
violating and has not been violating
the laws of the state, we'll and good,
but 1t ought not to be threatening what
it will do in case it is found guilty, nor
to be too sure that it has the farmers
Of the state by the throat. A way may
be found to shake off it's grip and yet
get all the harvesting machines Kan
sas needs.-Hutchinson News.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

IF'rom the Atchison Globe1
No man ever took a drink of whisky
that it did not kick him.
No really sensible person ever re-
members enough poetry to recite it.
Women dress their little girls all
right, but sometimes they put dresses
on their little boys that look funny.
After people pass certain age. they
begin to talk less about poetry, and
more about how awfully hard it is to
save their money.
+ A woman may stand for a little dust
on her own carpet, but she won't stand
for it when left by a careless janitor
on the carpet at church.
The LATEST animal we know any,
thing about is pug dog. And the pug
dog is always putting around as II it
were about worked to death.
When a young man gets to making
a good deal Of money, he wants to get
married; but when a girl makes fair
wages, she wants to remain single.
Whenever woman sees a hack go-
ing along with a trunk piled on top.
she says: well. I'm glad that is not
going to my house." People pretend to
like company great deal better than
they really do.
If a man is very good to his wife.
she is less liable to be distrustful of
the men who call on her daughter.
women judge all men by the way they
regard their husbands.
Almost every farmer in Kansas has
piano in his house, and a girl who
practices on 1t. But that is all right:
the houses are SO far apart that weary
souls in the country can find places
where the practicing is not heard.
Women have the notion that IL thew
smile on a man, he goes of and boasts
that they are in love with him. We
know men pretty we'll, and men taIk

heard man claim in years that a
woman was in love with him.

II there is a man in this part of
the world whose activities are greater
than those of DIR. Crumbine, the sec
rotary of the state board of health,
he would be hard to find. No sooner
does he get one crusade for the bet
terment of the conditions of the peo-
pie of the state well under way and
in good working order than he starts
another one. His latest undertaking
is to impress upon the people of the
smaller cities in the country the neces-
sity of disposing of refuse and sewage
in careful manner and so as not to
be a menace to the health of the peo-
pie as it is in many localities. And
the best part of DIR. Crumbine's mani
fold activities and crusades is that
they bear good results. This is be-
cause he goes not content himself
with calling attention to existing evils.
He always has feasible plans for the
Ssmedying OF them. In the case Of
