pemocracy and the rrusts

The boast Of the Chicago platform
Of 1908 that the Republican party
passed the Sherman antitrust law
against Democratic opposition is mod.
flied in the same paragraph by the
admission that the law does not give
the federal government effective
supervision over interstate orpor
lions having power and opportunity
to form ~monopolies.
Though the law has produced good
fruit in the decision Of the United
states circuit court at st. Louis dis
solving the Standard Oil trust, it has.
in fact, during the 10 years of its ex-
istence proved a very weak restraint
upon the formation of monopolies and
combinations in restraint Of trade.

zELAYA RESIGNS;
MADR|z MAY RULE
NICARAGUA DICTATOR ASSAlLED
BY KNOX QUITS PRESIDENCY
IN MESSAGE.
ARMIES PREPARE FOR BATTLE
United States Ships and Marines Are
Moving Toward Nicaraguan Ports
Communication With Rama
Is Re-EstabIished.

Managua, Nicaragua.-Jose San
tos Zelaya has resigned from the
presidency of Nicaragua. He placed
his resignation in the hands of con-
gress. Apparently there was no other
course for him to take. The people
were at last aroused. The guns of the
revolutionists threatened. The war
ships of the United States lay in Mic
aragua ports.
DR.. Jose Madriz judge of the
Central American court of justice at
Carriage, who has been close to Zelaya
and is now his choice for president,
is on his way here. He will arrive on
Saturday. Madriz has his following,
strong and influential, even among the
revolutionists, but Gen. Estrada, under
whose command the great body of
fighting insurgents now face Vasquez's
troops at Rama, will have none of
him.
T~elegraphic communication with
Rama was re-established. 1t is official
ly announced that the city has not
been taken by the government troops.
The two armies face each other, but
no battle has been fought. 1t is be-
lieved that one is imminent.
This %disposes Of the rumor which
had been in wide circulation for three
days that an engagement had occur
red at Rama, during which the gov
eminent troops had defeated the in
%surgents, and captured Gen. Estrada,
the head of the rebellion. 1t is be-
lieved there was an Interior motive
behind this false report.
AS a sequel to the recent rioting
when the mayor of Managua sought
to restrain the police from making
wholesale arrests, tn mayor himself
was arrested. Subsequently he was
released.
Congress met again and the session
was the occasion of a pro-Zelaya de-
monstration that apparently had been
made to order. Deputy Manuel Matus
delivered a lingo speech, urging
armed resistance in the event that
United States marines were landed at
Corinto. The suggestion was received
with such demonstrative applause as
to arous a strong suspicion that the
government had organized an eff.
ficient claque.

Damage for Posting Her Name.

she ordered and was not satisfactory,
Samuel L. Evans, a coal dealer, caused
her name to be published as a delin.
quent creditor. She brought suit in
the circuit court against Mr.. Evans
for $4,000 damages. "A jury in Judge
Thomas division of the court awarded
her $1,000 damages.

New York City.-Movements at
the Brooklyn navy yard indicated that
the battleship Nebraska was being
rapidly prepared for sea, and a report
was current that she had received
orders to proceed to Nicaraguan
waters. This report was given color
by the fact that the battleship flew
the little, square red flag, indicating
that explosives were being taken
abroad.
An air of mystery was preserved at
the yard regarding the preparation of
the Nebraska for her cruise.

Butter Was Too Expensive.

Columbia thinks that forty cents a

town. At a girls boarding house a

THE ELECTION OF TUESDAY
Things Passed OF Quietly Enough
When the Interest in License
Was so Great.

The election Tuesday passed off
quietly, when the big question of Ii
cense was the predominating feature.
1t was an easy matter to work up an
argument over the situation and dur
ing the dozens of groups of men
were c~ongregated here INC there,
discussing the features of the main
issue.
The question was on every lip as
to whether Mitchell was going dry
or wet. Both sides had the conf
dence of victory although it was con
coded to be close.
The voting started at 8 o'clock,
and the voters were on hand early to
cast their ballots, and for the first
two hours or so judges and clerks
were kept busy handing out the bal
lots and registering the names
Much time was lost during the day
in the First and Second ward by rea-
son of the afidavits that were made.
In some instances men We're question
ed in their right to vote and in Others
af1idavits had to be made because OF
the voter forgetting to register. The
greater number of at1idavits Were
made in the First and Second wards
although there was some in the Other
two wards.
;, Quite a few ladies of the city tool
an active interest in the election ant
most of the day, Notwithstanding tn
light rain which began in the after
non, the committees We're at each o
the polling places to hand out slip
of paper to the voters which contain
ed a sentence as to their vote on tn
license question.
