PENNSY ORDERS
10000 TONS RAILS
Purchase Exceeds Any Made
by Company Since 1906.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has placed orders for 10000 tons of
steel rails for delivery during the com
ing year.
The purchase exceeds any made by
the company since 1906 and is nearly
$4,000 tons more than was ordered last
year.
The orders are apportioned as usual
this year with the Pennsylvania Steel
company, the Lackawanna Steel com
pany, the United States Steel corpora
ton, the Cambria Steel company and
the Bethlehem Steel company. II was
forecasted early in the month that the
order would be for 10000 tons. Later
the street" heard that II might be crt
to half the amount, but in certain ci.'-
cles the order as made known was
steadfastly predicted.
The company's orders for steel rails
during the last six years follow: In
1909, 1866 tons; 31,563 in 1908, 149,.
$40 in 1907. 16S,797 in 1906, 12S,O75 in
1905, and 11O,591 in 1904. The amount
supposed to have been used in 1910
was $4,000 tons.

Rivals Warehouse.

The arrest of Ulysses G. Bullock
the wealthy Kelton. Chester county
Pa. merchant, on the charge OF having
set fire TO the warehouse of Frank e.
Evans. in that village, on the night o.
Nov Z, has caused a sensation.
Bullock owns a large store at Kel

blemished reputation. He is married
and has three children. He was raised
as a Friend, his father the late Eli
Bullock. being strict adherent OF the
Friends Society.
The district attorney announced that
Bullock will be given a further hear
ing, when Detective Charles Franklin
Of Philadelphia, who had the accused
merchant arrested. will show what evil
dence he has in hand.
Bullock was greatly annoyed when
the big warehouse was built last sum
mer near his store, and the neighbors,
knowing he was greatly distressed,
added to this by telling him Evans was
going to start a rival store in the new
building. The Bullocks have been in
business at Kelton for more than half
a century, and they have never had
any competition.

The President Points Out to Cabinet
Officers Where Pruning Knife Could
Be Used to Advantage.

President Taft is determined that
his plans for ecOnOmizing in the gov
/ ernment shall prevail. He is becom
ing a veritable watchdog Of the treas
ury" TO effect a real saving in the vari'
Gus departments.
The president informed his cabinet
officers, after scrutinizing the final
draft of the estimates of the various
government departments for the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1911, that there
must be a .urther and deeper cut in
them. They would not do in their pres
ent form. he told his ministers en-
phatically.
In response TO the urgent demands
Of the president, the heads Of the vari-
Gus departments already had held their
estimates down to what they consider
ed rock bottom figures. But the presi-
dent pointed out a number of places
where he declared the pruning knife
could be used to advantage.
The president started last year the
policy of giving personal attention to
the estimated expenditures of the gov
eminent, declaring that the best way
to wipe out the deficiency in the treas
ury was to reduce the outgO of public
funds. He believes he made consider
able headway in holding down expen
ditures for the current year. but hopes
to make a still greater stride toward
economy in 1911
That he might take up departmental
estimates. the president ordered
pOstponement of the regular cabinet
session. He hopes to be able to sub
nit the greater part Of his message tor

ehise-Long Legal Battle Expected.
The federal government began in
New York one of its most important
actions against great corporations
which are said to have violated the
Sherman antitrust law.
Henry A. Wise. United States dis
tFict attorney, filed in the United
States district court for the southern
district of New York a petition asking
for the dissolution Of the American
Sugar Refining company and twenty
nine other corporations which compose
the so-called sugar trust.
The petition charges an illegal com
bination in restraint of trade. and asks
from the court relief in whatever form
may be necessary, including a receiv.
ership, if deemed advisable
The thirty companies composing the
sugar combine have an aggregate cap
italization of S23O,OO0,OO0 and control
= large percentage OF the output Of
sugar in this country. The petition
charges that for years the companies
have violated the law, and have op-
pressed competitors and ground them
out of existence, Railroad rebates and
customs frauds are mentioned az de-
vices which were employed to raise
the combine to the commanding posi-
ton which it occupies.
The present suit, which. it is esti-
mated, will be In the courts for two
years before a final adjudication is
reached, is expected to rank in i'm
portance with those Of the government
against the Standard Oil company and
the American Tobacco company, which
arc now pending In the supreme court. /
Opposed to the government in the
struggle will be some of the most
memorable corporation lawyers of the
country. James NJ. Beck, formerly OF !
Philadelphia, former assistant United !
States attorney general and now coun- /
eel for the American Sugar Refining
company, will lead the attack on the
governments position Mr. Beck said
khat the sugar combine was not a mo-
nopoly, but that if it appeared, when
the supreme court interpreted the
SHERMAN law in the tobacco and oil
cases, that the sugar company was in

| States and cities that seek to regu-
late the actions of men and the con-
duct of business have about as much
| influence through their own regard for
the spirit of the laws which they enact
as they do through the enforcement of
such laws. Therefore, and for the sake
of consistency, they ought, through
their Offices, practice what they
preach, to do what they require of 9TH

that which they require of some
Do they? Well, hardly.
We have particularly in mind COM
parsons which may be instituted as
between some sanitary and hygenic
requirements and the condition of pub

Jurisdiction of the requiring govern

A passenger riding the railroad
trains through the states of Oklahoma
and Kansas will observe that the por-
ters yank the water glasses away be-
fore the wheels turn in such states,
and if he wants drink he must buy
a little cuplet of his own. This re-
quirement is made upon the ground
that the indiscriminate use of drink

spread of disease germs, and through
tuberculosis and other maladies swells
the harvest of the grim reaper We
think rather favorably of the regula-
tion itself, but we do not admire the
consistency of statemen (?) who can
perceive the necessity of regulation
only in respect to corporations.
If the passenger will look out of the
window as he rides through the states
above named he will perceive rows of
filthy houses, which decency forbids
us to specifically name or to more
adequately describe. So far as we
have been able to learn, the states in

to protect the passengers from the dan
ger of contagion from without, but
have exhausted themselves in the eff
fort to reduce the dangers within the

WHAT NEXT7

a negro leader of Muskogee county
said at Chickasha last Saturday,
among other things: Mcclure is the
kind of man who would pet the ne
groes before election and ignore them
and their demands to become minis
ters at Dacoma after election" I'VE
stand for a nationwide revolution in
politics" and I'VE are tired of being
called the tools of the republican
bosses"
Poor negroes! They are at last be-
ginning to learn the fact that ever
since the great Civil war they have
been nothing but the poor ignorant
tools of set of bosses who cared less
for them after they votes were cast
than they cared for their dogs. They
now, for the first time, realize that his
vote and his liberty" have been a
barter and sale ever since his freedom
and that they have sold their birth
right for mess of pottage ever since
their emancipation and that it was dis
|graced the negro race in the eyes of
the world.
One or more other facts they are
now learning for the first time and
among these is the one that in their
blind allegiance to the republican
party they have engendered the dis
pleasure of other parties and that
through all their loyalty to that one
party that party has been disloyal to
them by keeping them in ignorance
of the true condition of party relation
to each other and in their not redeem
ing the pledges so often made to them.
This action of the colored race forms
the basis of crisis in the republican
ranks that they can not well afford at
this time, not only in this state but if
it becomes nationwide will completely
disrupt the entire party-Enid Wave.

charges in connection with the fam
Gus McMurray contracts. Il wiz be
recalled that Hamon vas charged BY
Senator Gore with having tried TO
bribe him TO use his influence for rat
flying the contracts. Such ratification
would have meant enormous fees for
McMurray and his associates.
Whether or not the Gore charges
viii be sustained is still question.
Until the decision Of the investigating
committee it might seem to be mat
ter OF Official dignity for the governor
of Oklahoma not to have hohored so
signally a man involved in such mess
as the McMurray tribal contracts.
There are doubtlessly a great many
republicans in Oklahoma entirely
eligible to sit on the state election
board Perhaps the appointment of
nobody else within the republican
party would have occasioned the
criticism that Haskell's selection of
Hamon has evoked
1t is said that Haskell eOntemplates
running for the United States senate
and, therefore, wishes to embarrass
Gore in whatever way it can be done.
Be that as it may, the conclusion gen
orally will obtain. we think. that
though Haskell belongs nominally 10
the democratic party, which is adorned
by Cores afiliation with it, the COVER
nor and senator are wholly apart in
their views and attitudes in matters of
public policy.
1t is quite impossible for Haskell,
erstwhile of Lima, Ohio, later of Mus
kogee, more recently of Guthrie and
now of Oklahoma City, with ultimate
destination unknown, to humiliate Sen
ator Gore. In elevating Hamon at
this time the only humiliation attach
ed to the proceeding is fastened upon
the governor of Oklahoma.-Joplin

A case of considerable local interest
was heard in the district court TO-DAY
1t was the case Of F. A. Klinfelter rs
A. B. Watson, in which the plaintiff
was suing Watson for the invoice
price Of a stock of hardware. The
stock of the old Vinita Hardware com.
pany was sold to Watson, the price
it was agreed would be the invoice
price. The latter claimed that "in.
voice pure" meant the cost of the
goods in st. Louis or wherever the
stock was originally purchased. The
plaintiff contended that the freight
on the goods should be included in
the invoice price. AS the point in.
volved was a matter of law the court
heard the case without a jury and de.
cided in favor of Mrs. Klinefelter.
Judge Brown also rendered his de.
cision in the suit of Josephine Moselg.
VS.. L. B. Campbell ct al, in which he
ruled that the plaintiff was under the
age of majority when she decided her
land to Campbell and ordered the deed
set aside.

for Henrietta Masley to set aside the
decree of divorce issued a few days
ago to George Whitmire. A rehearing
was granted but when it will be heard
again was not announced.
