How DR.. Wright Proved 1t

THIS was held as a sort Of provisional theory for a
good while; but il remained for DR. Wright to de-
vclop it into useful fact His method OF proof,
look back upon it, seems abSurdly simple 1t consisted
solely in separating the leucocyes from the blood serum
in which they oaed and in studying their action alone
He chose healthy blood and showed, first that its leu
cocytcs while still floating in the serum, capable
Of swallowing definite number OF specific germs Then
he separated other eucocytcs from this same blood nd
them of serum by careful waShng-and found that
without this they more capable OF SWal-
lowing germs than many grains OF sand.
DR.. Wright is repeating this experiment hundreds
Of times in a series Of lectures and demonstrations before
the universities and learned societies Of country,
under all conceivable conditions, and always the
result is the same Leucocytcs floating in serum

MAIN POINTS OF
TAFT'S MESSAGE

Recent DEGREES furnish useful pre-
eedent as to proper methods of deal
ing with illegal trusts, and suggest
need of supplemental legislation.
The introduction of common law dis
tinctions into the trust statute has
NOT emasculated it, The most extreme
critics cannot instance a case that
ought to be condemned under the
statute (Sherman law) which is not
brought within its terms as thus con-
strued
/ venture to say that not in the his
tory of American law has decree
more effective for such purpose been
entered by court than that against
the tobacco trust
1t is not the purpose of the statute
to confscate property and capital Of
offending trusts.
Voluntary disorganization of other
trusts is at hand as result of the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trust de-
cisions.
There is nothing in the statute
which condemns combinations or mere
bigness of plant, unless effort is made
to stifle competition.
Discussions regarding repeal Of the
antitrust statute and plans for con-
structive legislation for the benefit Of
honest business men have produced
nothing but glittering generaliies.
Supplemental legislation il
wha is needed, not repeal or amend
ment.
/ renew the recommendation for q
general law providing for voluntary
formation of corporations to engage in
trade and commerce among the states
and with foreign nations.
Denunciation of conspiracies in re-
straint of trade should not and does
not mean denial Of organizations large
enough to be entrusted with interstate
or foreign trade.
Combinations of capital into federal
corporations, if provided for by new
law, should be subject to rigid rules az
to organization and procedure, by an
executive bureau or commission.
The drafting of such q federal incor-
poration law would offer ample oppor-
tunity to prevent many manifest evils
In corporate management today.
The question which I wish in this
message to bring clearly to the consid-
Grafton and discussion of congress il
whether, in order to avoid such a pos.
sible business danger, something can.
not be done by which these business
combinations may be offered a means
without great financial disturbance, OF
changing the character, organization
and extent of their business into one
within the lines Of the law under fed
eral control and supervision, securing
compliance with the antitrust statute

homeseeker can exercise his choice 40
to what he may wish to grow. There
is room in the state for 10000 new
farmers to occupy the subdivided lands
of the great ranches which are now be-
ing broken up into small farms; to
buy, at moderate prices, ranches Of
the old primitive school, which are
but poorly farmed and rehabilitate
them into modern, up-to-date farms; to
acquire twenty and forty acre tracts
of rich soil in certain sections of the
state for intensive farming, and to
acquire virgin land with water right
and reclaim it. The great drawback
to agricultural development in Neva-
da hitherto has been the too-large
farm. Now we are tring to bring
about an area of small farms inten-
sively cultivated. The intensive farmer
is in Nevada today. In western Nevada
where potatoes, onions and celery are
grown as specialized crops returns of
from $10e to $400 per acre are not un-
common. In southern Nevada, about
Las Vegas and in the Moapa valley,
canteloupes, watermelons, winter
grown lettuce, spinach and asparagus
bring similar returns. Much of the as
paragus sold at fancy prices in Chi
cago and New York in March is grown
in the open in Moapa valley at that
season of the year.
The new settler on unimproved land
in Nevada must expect to encounter
some hardships the first year or two.
but if he goes to the right sections of
the state, possesses health, energy,
some farming experience and some
necessary capital he will soon be in
dependent.
The state of Nevada has no debt
other than to itself and in it's
treasury are $2,500,000 of the interest
bearing bonds of other states. 1t is a
state peopled by strong, virile, in
telligent people. 1t maintains a splen-
did public school system, cosmopolitan
in every sense.
That Nevada has an important agri-
cultural destiny is now fact The
state maintains a bureau of agriculture
at the state capital, Carson City,
which win furnish on request reliable
information concerning any section of
the state.

More National Litigation.

attempt of j. L. Workman to dispos-

of two claims adjoining the property
of the National Mines company, suit
has been instituted in the District
Court by the Mammoth National Mines
company against j. l.. Workman, Ida
c. Workman, William II. Jordan, Pur-
cell Rowe and Walter S. Brann. The
plaintiffs ask judgment in a total sum
of 1914, 800 upon two causes of action.
On the first cause of action the plain
tiff alleges that defendants are in
debted to it in the sum of $67 1850 for
money which the defendants have re-
ceived within two years past, no part
of which has been paid. On the second
cause of action the plaintiff asks judg-
ment for $627, 900 general damages;
for $6s, 500 expended in mining opera
tions on the Charleston Hill National
Mining Syndicate property at Nation
al; for $4,000 expended in litigation
arising over said premises and for $43,-
$50 damages by reason of plaintiff be-
ing prevented from extracting ores
from said premises.
The complaint in the case is very

and Charles J. Parks, San Francisco

moth National Mines company in the
