JOHN D. coNFESSES.

John D. Rockefeller has made an
honest confession. He declares that
great wealth is a burden that weighs
heavily on its possessor, banishes
peace from the heart and eliminates
the satisfaction of life Notwithstand-
ing this explanation by the maa best
qualified to make it, there will be no
lessening in the mad race TO acquire
some of the burden. Men are willing
to hear the rich complain about the
misfortune Of means, but they will not
take 1t for granted-they prefer to
fad out Just how heavy the burden is
by practical experience in bearing 1t.

PASSES AT LAST.

After being shuttle-cocked around
the senate the farmers free list bill
succeeded in passing in modified form,
not far removed from its original
shape. The passage was effected by a
coalition CT democrats and insurgent
republicans. The bill in its original
form had previously been voted down
after heated conflict in which many
amendments fell by the wayside. A
motion to reconsider recalled it to life
and with a few changes it went
through by a combination vote. A
conference committee will be neces-
sary before final action is taken

ENTOMBGD EINER SAVED
Falls ,Weepirely Into Arms of Res
cuers While Thousands Cheer.

Joplin, Mo, Aug. 3.-Joseph Clary,
imprisoned by cave-in in the White
Oak mine since Sunday morning, was
reached by rescuers.
When the last spadeful of earth was
removed by workmen in the shaft and
they dropped through into the drift,
Clary threw himself into their arms
and wept while shouts of thousands
cheering at the mouth of the mine
echoed down the shaft.
Clary, though in fair condition, was
greatly weakened. His emotion at the
sight of his rescuers and the death
like pallor Of his face brought tears
to the eyes of the hardened miners.
At signal from the rescuers a
physician was lowered. He admins
tered stimulants. Clary was hoisted to
the surface and set foot on top of the
earth ten minutes after he was found.
Curious spectators were kept from
him. His father, brothers and the
physician hurried him away to the
Clary home nearby, where his mother,
weakened by the strain of her long
vigil, lay i'll.

thirty-two horse vehicles and fourteen
automobiles were destroyed The
value OF this property would have
done much to make the crossings safe,

THE SHOE MACHINERY TRUST.

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany possesses all the qualities OF the
most complete Trust or combination
IN restraint OF trade with few that
are peculiar to itself Its profits are
go enormous that it has been obliged
to duplicate itself in the United Shoe
Machinery Corporation, which acquir-
ed the company and in the process
emitted an additional volume of stock
in order that the irrigating streams of
dividends may be spread over great
er area and attract less attention.
1t has acquired phenomenal profits
by the suppression of competition in
the manner of other Trusts and by
some original means. 1t does not sell
its machines, but rents them, and the
rentals are conditioned on the non-use
of any other machines, so that a man
ufacturer must use the machines OF
this company exclusively or he can
have none of them. When the Plant
Company a year or two ago developed
a complete set of shoemaNng machin-
cry. so that a manufacturer could get
along without any of the Trusts
goods the Shoe Machinery Company,
or the corporation, used some five mil
lion of its surplus in buying out the
formidable competitor. The rentals
are an enormous percentage Of the
cost of the machinery, and the COM
pany sells brass wire at preposter-
Gus profits, fer no person who uses its
machines may use any other brass
wire.
The object of the patent laws is to
Shoe Machinery Company uses the
patent laws to defeat their own pur-
pose. 1t discourages invention by
making it impossible for an inventor
to get any market for his device UNI
less it chooses to buy, and in purchas-
ing it has no competitor.
Governor Foss has insis ed upon
the Massachusetts Legislature inves-
tigating the combination, but the Leg
islaure thinks the Hisge1 antitrust
law which il enacted is all that ought
to be asked OF it. Two or three yeal 5
ago the Legislature was with inf
mite difficulty driven to the enactment
of law prohibiting some of the prac-
tees of the Shoe Machinery Company,
but there has been no visible change
in its methods of business. Apparent
ly the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is a bigger thing than the State
of Massachusetts. The Governor,
however, has got the Attorney Ge7er-
al of his State to look into the COM
pany's operations a little. at the
same time the Federal Department of
Justice is investigating it and collect
ing evidence that it is combination
in unreasonable restraint of trade.
II the Sherman law is impotent to
reach such a combination as this it is
a futile enactment. But If the Sher-
man law will not reach it. the patent
laws ought to be able to. This con-
Germ is actually using patents as al
means of certifying its monopoly
