PLOW WORKS FOR MALVERN.
John Deere Co. Closes Deal for Big
Woodworking Establishment.

Malvern, May 26.-papers have
been signed which concluded long
pending deal that will put into NAL
vern 1 million dollar woodwork
ing plant for the John Deere Pillow
Company.
The company will erect buildings,
sheds and millhouses on something
like fifteen acres of the tract an
expenditure Of more than | million
dollars being expected, before a
wheel is turned.
That the John Deere plow Com
pany has been wanting a site in
Arkansas, somewhere near its vast
holdings of hardwood timber lands,
has been known generally for some
time. Thousands upon thousands
of acres of hardwood land lying
along the 0uachita river between
Malvern and Camden are owned by
the company, and it was acknowl-
edged some months ago that the
company intended building a mill
for the purpose of working up this
wood into the shapes desired for
its pillow factories.

HE BUILT UP THE NATION
Then Diaz Allowed Subjects TO Re-
main In Ignorance and Prac-
teal Servitude.

The most pitiable spectacle in
this world at this time from hui
man point of view is that Of Cen
eral porflrio Diaz, the erstwhile
president of the Mexican republic.
To use slang phrase, he is now
down and out, after a continuous
service at the helm of state and ma
tionai affairs in the land of the an
cient Toltecs. The whole story is
summed up in very few words. The
man was too big for his boots, and
too tyrannical to allow the people
to have a say so in their form of
government. He could have retired
years and years ago and his name
would have been remembered
throughout the world where histo-
ny is loved, as hero and statesman
who brought order out of chaos and
led nation happily along the great
highway of independence towards
the ultimate goal--perfect self gov
eminent. But he held on too long.
For him power and authority had a
glamour which time nor experience
could cast off or hide from view,
and this too, in spite of the fact
that, year by year, he knew that the
rumbling against him was growing
more and more distinct, and that it
must ere long burst in all the fury
and destructive energy of a storm.
He came into prominence on the
wings of revolution and he went out
in the same way. In 1872 when
Don Sebastian Lerda de la Tejada,
succeeded the patriot, Benito Juar-
ez, as president of the republic,

OIL DECISION
AROUSED BRYAN
In Editorial Says Supreme Court
Ruling Explains Why White Was
Made Chief Justice Instead of
Harlan-New ANTI Trust Law.

Lincoln. Neb., May 26.-William ].
Bryan gives vent TO singing edi-
torial criticism of the Supreme
Court Standard Oil Decision and of
the court itself in the current issue
Of his Commoner. He says pointed
ly that while a candidate in 1908 he
was given the opportunity TO de-
cline TO pledge himself on the ques-
ton OF Supreme Court appoint
ments. Under the caption, "The
Trusts Have Won," Bryan says:
1.-THE decision Of the Standard Oil
case will prove disappointing TO the
country. The dissolution of the
Standard Oil Company works no
hardship when the supreme court
decision is virtually license to re-
organize under a pledge of greater
security. No wonder the stock of
1.-THE Standard Oil Company went up
AZ points when the head of the
steel trust praises the opinion. The
real meat Of the decision is TO be
found in the amendment of the An
Thrust law to meet the demands
of the trusts.
Means a New Antitrust Law?
For several years the trusts
have been demanding the very
amendment that the court has read
into the law. There will be rejoic-
ing in Wall Street, but there will
be sadness in the homes of the
masses, who are now compelled to
begin a campaign for the enact
ment Of an anti-trust law so clear
and explicit that the court cannot
repeal it by constitution.
THE decision explains several
things. First, it explains why Jus
tice White was made chief justice
instead of Justice Harlan. Second,
il explains why Governor Hughes
was made a justice of the Supreme
Court. Third, it explains the dis
eliminating care exercised by the
President in selecting Democrats
who would help the Republicans
out of hole by making the Demo-
cratic party bear some of the obi
um of a decision that builds a bull
wark around the predatory corpor-
ations: and, fourth, it explains why
Wall Street went over TO Mr.. Taft
in March of 1908, and then coerced
their employees and the business
public into the support OF the Re-
publican candidate in November
who'll Appoint the Judges?"
"'Who will appoint the judges?"
was the question raised toward the
close of the campaign, and Mr.. Bry-
an was given an opportunity to de-
cline TO make any pledges. The
people will learn after awhile what
the corporations have long known,
namely that the power to appoint
United States judges is far-reach-
ing power The people agitate and
Congress legislates to little effect
so long as the highest court in the
land is in sympathy with those who
exploit the public. The amendment
which the court makes by judicial
construction is the very amendment
which Mr. Taft suggested in his Co
lumbus speech when he announced
his candidacy, and now the judges
whom he appointed have so voted
as to make it Unnecessary to Sc
cure the amendment by legislation.
Now let those Democrats and Re-
publieans, who are opposed to
trusts, set TO work to overcome the
decision by legislation. The Dem
ocrat plan will be found in the
plank Of the Democratic platform
of 1885,"

Roosevelt Applauds LaFollette in

Washington, May 25.-Political
Washington is deeply interested in
the article by Roosevelt in the cur
rent number of the Outlook on

The article is regarded as Of spe-
cial significance because, although
Roosevelt and LaFollette have been
leaders Of the progressive move
ment within the Republican party,
it is we'll known in Washington that
they have not worked together in
a political way.
Roosevelt declares that what has
been done in Wisconsin has been
accomplished under the lead of
Senator LaFollette and the group
of entirely practical and at the
same time zealously enthusiastic
workers who have come into active
control OF the state mainly or large
ly because Of the lead he has given

Contrasting conditions in Europe
and America, the Roosevelt article
says it has been both comic and
lamentable fact that America has
been compelled to go to Europe for
its ideas in social and economic re-
form.
I'm hardly one case of recent
years." he says, have we been able
to initiate a great reform ourselves.
And usually the reforms which
have been denounced by the reac-
tionary press as subversive of all
social order have represented prin-
ciples already as a matter of course
in effect in various European coun-
tries"
But now Wisconsin has developed

clares that hereafter we have

REASON FOR APPREHENSION.

Perhaps the apprehension regarding
the nature of the material to be used
in the new federal building in Barre will
be appreciated when outsiders are told
that in Quincy, Mass, the great granite
center of Massachusetts, plain lime
stone building was erected for post office
purposes by the government, while out
in Cleveland, o., the state of limestone,
"a handsome federal building of granite
was erected Coming nearer home, we
find marble structure in Montpelier;
whereas, Montpelier is in the Barre gram
lite belt and is indebted to Barre granite
for much of its prosperity. Now, is there
any wonder over the local apprehension
lest Barre granite should not be used
in the construction of the federal build
ing to be erected in one of the most
conspicuous positions in the city, With
a huge mountain--two of them, in fact
within three miles of the site OF the
proposed building, it would be strange
indeed if the building were to be con-
structed of anything but Barre granite.

NEW HAMPSHIRE FORESTS SAVED.

NEW HAMPSHIRE FORESTS SAVED.
Vermont has no Weeks bill to save
its mountain forests, but the sentiment
in favor Of preserving them is gaining
ground very rapidly, and the state is
trying to do by itself what the nation
is doing for New Hampshire. During
the past few months, the idea received
great impetus through the presentation
to the state Of the top section of Cancels

vicinity of Peru, in southern Vermont
Prior to that, the establishment OF state

and our river sources, for our benefit and
for the nations benefit. 1t was task
too large for us, and we appreciate the

given us. Now our state should do its
