in their method of application and I'M
fortunate in the fact that politicians,
Legislators and railroad commissions
misconstrued the Presidents correc-
tive intentions as attacks upon corpor
ate interests.
In President Taft we have fair,
liberal and broad gagged man, who
has said in a most earnest manner
that investors may feel justified in in
vesting for railroad construction, that
all men who conduct a legitimate bus
ness may understand that the gov
eminent at Washington is back Of
them and will support them. 1t is to
the interest of the railroads, the rail-
road managers, the railroad employees,
the railroad investors and the public
at large to work in harmony with the
government. When a law is passed
and fairly established the best way to
enforce it is to obey it."
OF Wall street, Mr. Yoakum said
this:
Ninety per cent of the 105, 900 miles
of railroads serving that vast produc-
ing section of the country west of the
Mississippi river has been consrrucs~
ed and equipped by funds provided by
New York bankers. Some of their
investments have been profitable,
while others have not. They took
their chances and have experienced
receiverships and foreclosures.
"On the whole, however, they hav.
made a profit. They were entitled to
profit for supplying the necessary
funds to enable the country to grow
and its resources to be developed, but
a hundred times more profit has been
! received by the owners of lands, OF
mines, by merchants and manufacture
ers there than the bankers reaped
upon their investments.
| THE hundreds of millions of dol
lars of deposits of farmers, manufac
turers, merchants and the general say
ings of the people at large are moi
available for railroad construction
Such money has its uses in the devel
opment of agricultural industrial anc

PRIZES OFFERED
BOYS CORN CLUB
MENT OF AGRICULTURE
WILL GIVE WINNER A TRIP
TO CAPITAL.
A Newton County Boy Was the Win
ner Last Year and Produced 1879
Bushels On One Acre.

DR.. S. A. Knapp, Of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, who has
charge of the Farmers Cooperative
monstration work in the South, has
offered a special prize to the winner
in the Boys Corn Club Contest in Mis-
sissippi-same being free trip to the
city of Washington, with all expenses
paid.
In addition to this DIR. Knapp will
obligate himself to purchase as much
as twenty-five bushels of the corn
which wins first and second prizes
in the Mississippi contest.
No previous farmers movement has
ever attained such prominence and
favor in this state, as has the Boys
Corn Club. There are now about five
thousand members of these clubs and
in most of the counties where the
clubs have been organized valuable
prizes have been offered and the boys
have gone to work with vengeance
to make more than one hundred bus
els of corn per acre. The winner last
year was a Newton county boy who
produced 139 bushels of corn on one
acre-more than his father or grand
father ever dreamed possible, and con-
vincing all the neighborhood that Mis-
sissippi is just Is good corn growing

A CORPORATION CAN
PICK ITS CUSTOMERS
Sell and Refuse to Sell to Whom II
PIeases, Decides New York
Jurist

ALBANY, N. Y, May 13.-The court
of appeals has affirmed the dismissal
of the complaint of the lower courts
in the action of John A. Locker and
another against the American Tobacco
Company, the Metropolitan Tobacco
Company, Adolph Bondheim and Ar
thur Stern.
The plaintiffs alleged that the de-
PENDANTS owned and controlled so
large a share of the staple articles and
kind of tobacco marketed in the coun-
try that no general dealer or jobber
could successfully do business without
handling the merchandise owned and
controlled by the American Tobacco
Company; that the said company had
appointed the Metropolitan Tobacco
Company its exclusive selling agent in
New York and that the defendants re-
fused to sell any of their goods to the
plaintiff, whereby their business was
destroyed"
The decision of Chief Cullen holds
that, whereas a combination of sew
eral persons to withhold these prod
ucts would have constituted an illegal
restraint of trade, one person or cor
poration can legally sell to whom 1t
pleases and that the extent of the
business does not affect its right.
'If the aggregation of enormous in
| dustries under a single control is eco
nomic evil as to which I express no
opinion" says Judge Cullen, "the evil
can be safely cured by the legislature.
