Washington, Dec. 24.-President Taft went shopping afoot this afternoon. playing Santa Claus in open fashiaA. He wandered from shop to shop, taking hearty interest in the store windows, and good naturedly returning the jost- ling of the crowds which jammed the sidewalks. Capt. Archibald Butt, his military aide, walked with him, but immediately behind trailed two wig liant secret service men. After nearly an hour and half's walk, the presi- dential party returned to the White House.
 Few Recognized the President.
 A remarkable feature of MT. Taft's trip was the small number who recog- mixed him. To such as did realize that the president of the United States was abroad he raised his hat in return to their salutations, but he was not forced to do this more than a dozen times during the stroll.
 The president left the executive of- fees at o'clock and walked down Pennsylvania avenue to jewellers shop. Here he remained some little time, selecting present for Mrs. Taft and his daughter Miss Helen. He next walked over to a leather establishment on 'F", street. where. Captain Butt halted MT. Taft on the walk before the broad display window.
 That's just the thing" he exclaimed pointing with his walking stick to an abalorate travelling bag of Russia leather that was spread to the gaze of the envious.
 "You're right" exclaimed the presi lent, showing the officer ahead of him, good .naturedly Let's get a closer

June. and an increase of ST, 100000 over
last year The total cash in state banks
now is $50, 81, 846.0S, an increase of $4,-
ing the past year.
The reserve is 81 per cent as against
So per cent in June. The S19 banks have
$2,S39.6 GAL 81 invested in bank buildings,
furniture and fixtures.
The guaranteed banks on September

ing outside of the banks. The Kansas
banks were never in a more strong,
healthy condition than they are today.
This very strong increase is shown at
time when only a small part of the
1909 wheat crop and other agricultural
products have been marketed.
No state in the Union can show
more healthy and absolutely sound
banking conditions than Kansas, as
shown by this report. Again 1 repeat
there is nothing on earth the matter
with Kansas or the Kansas people"

COURT UPHOLDS TAFT.
No Reason to Think He Would Be
Swayed by Caprice.

Washington, Nov. 5.-No court
would be justified in assuming that
President Taft would be swayed by
caprice in any matter wherein he was
required to act for public interest un-
Ger his oath of office. So held Justice
Stafford, sitting in the district supreme
court.
The case before the court grew out
of the condemnation proceedings
brought against the five squares of
property bounded by Pennsylvania
avenue, Fifteenth street, the Mall and
Fourteenth street. The judgment of
the three commissioners that the prop
erty is worth $2,450, 900 was upheld by
the court. Thirty-nine of the seventy
FIVE owners of the parcels had objected.
1t is said they will seek reversal be-
fore a higher court.

HEAR IT IN DECEMBER.
Harvester Trust Making Effort to
Compromise State Case.

The state supreme court has set the
International Harvester custer case for
argument at the December term. Fol-
lowing this action of the court, Attor-
ney General Jackson filed his brief for
the state, In 1t he suggested that pos
sibly modified judgment compelling
the trust to be good would be better
thing for Kansas than complete
custer.
The Harvester company is willing to
accept modified judgment except that
it doesn't want to put up $4,000 char
ter fee to the state. 1t claims that 1t
is an Independent company from the
New Jersey corporation, and that 1T
ought not to be required to pay char
ter fee on $120.000,000 capital of the New
Jersey corporation. when it has already
paid charter fee on its own capital
of 81, 100000.
The attorney general holds that It Is
really the agent of the New Jersey
corporation, transacting business in
Kansas for the latter, and therefore
| should pay the big fee.
| After stating it is the duty of a court
to make a decree that will destroy the
monopoly, a complete custer, If neces-
sary. the attorney general says:
| eft is of the greatest importance IN
! the enforcement of any decree which
| the court may render that the court re-
| tain jurisdiction of the DEFENDANT ana
| its property for the purpose or enfofc-
ing that decree and proper conduct On
the part of the defendant. The action
of the court in restraining it from all
the unlawful practices complained of is
a remedy for the principal wrongs
which have been heretofore committed
by it.
saThe declaring of it's business to be a
public one gives the court the right -
declare any of its prices unreasonable
and adopt such laws as may be neces-
sary to a complete regulation of the de-
fendant's business. Tt also places 1t
within the power of the court to pro-
tect defendants future patrons against
unfair treatment in the matter of dis
ordinations as to prices or the estab-
lishment of agencies designed to serve
them and also furnishes protection to
any person or persons endeavoring TO
enter competition in the manufacture
and sale of the same products produced
and sold by defendant
IF the best interests of the state will
be subserved by an custer of defend
ant. we ask the court to so decree, but
if some other form Of judgment meets
the approval of the court and satisfies
it's judgment as a remedy for the
wrongs complained of. we ask that such
a Judgment be given
