Trust Officials Indicted.

BOSTON, Sept. 19.-Two indictments
we're returned today by the federal
grand jury against five officials and q
large stakeholder of the United Shoe
Machinery company. The indictments
allege conspiracy in restraint of trade
under the Sherman act. The penalty
provided under the statutes is a fine
of S., 600 or imprisonment for q year
or both.
The United Shoe Machinery com.
pany came into being in 1889. 1t
was founded by Sidney N. Winslow,
its present head, who learned shoe
making in a small factory In Salem,
Mass, owned by his father, who to
secur advantages of combining al.
lied interests, formed o corporation
EN- r acing the three leading compan-
les then making shoe machinery
Goodyear Sewing Machine company,
Consolid ated and Mckay Lasting
company and Mckay Shoe Machinery
company-were consolidate
The roy atty system by which the
corporation disposes OF its machines,
allows q shoe manufacturer to lease
machines, paying rentals in royalties
on every shoe made. A manufacturer
may buy machinery if he gets it from
the United company, providing he
buys his "fndings"-such as wire
nails and eyelets-from the company.
1t is claimed that the royalty paid the
United company is about q cents per
pair of shoes.

THE NORRIS SUGGESTION.

At the recent meeting Of governors,
in New Jersey, Governor Norris at
tracted attention to two propositions.
One of these vas in favor Of vesting
the state executive with power to re.
move law officers who neglect duty.
The second suggestion was that the
governor have authority to submit to
the people, in the form of referendum,
laws which commend themselves to his
approval but which fail Of favorable
consideration In the Legislature. This
second proposition is rather novel.
Some press comment respecting it
was started, and the Norris proposal
would probably have been taken up
for discussion but for the fact tina the
governors suddenly pitched pell NELL
into another subject and conferred their
attention upon the proposition that
they try to get into q railroad passen.
ger rate 81 which, on appeal, is now
ia the federal supreme court. Finding
themselves absorbed In that subject,
the governors forgot all about divorce
laws, uniform codes, functions of the
executive and all that sort of thing.
1t may be that, later on, the direct
constituents OF Governor Norris will
care to discuss his suggestion for a
referendum on the initiative of the
governor of the state.
At the meeting of the governors
Woodrow Wilson said that the "peo.
pie Of the United States want their
governors to be leaders in matters
of legislation" They do, in fact,
have considerable function in that
respect; they recommend to the legis.
lsture and they have the veto.
Whether the people want them to be
"~leaders' in law making is another
matter.
In modern practice several COVER
nors have been active in efforts at
lawmaking. Governor Wilson him.
self is in illustr ation-it happened that
be had a lot of good luck With his
projects. When he was New York's
governor, Justice Hughes went in
strong for a groupe of g laws. I'm.
portant projects which he urged are,
to this day, pending in the Albany
capitol. TO give to the governor the
power to let his proposals go to a
referendum would be a radical change;
it depends very much on the kind of
man who Is governor. - Anaconda

Best Protection Against Colds.
Spokesman.Review

Spokesman-ReVleW
Catching cold Is nj of the misfor.
tunes that visit almost every human
being. The strong and healthy, to-
gether with the weak and sickly, are
periodically visited with colds. Yet,
10 spite Of the commences of the com
plant, neither doctors nor laymen
have been able either to inoculate
humanity against the tendency to
catch colds or to discover an ef1ica-
cious cure.
DR.. William S. Sadler has been de-
voting his attention to the study OF
colds. DR.. Sadler once was a victim
of colds and confesses that he nearly
died of them before he became quite
emancipated from the error of his ways
DR.. Sadler's remarks on how to avoid
colds are eminently practical and easy.
to follow. Some people may find the
advice to keep ones head cool a little
difficult in hot weather or in trying
circumstances, but no one should find
it hard to keep his feet dry. The great
thing is to keep the mind and body at
an equable temperature and to avoid
| extremes.
But the best preventive of colds is
fresh air. The organism nourished by
wholesome food and pure air offers
the best resistance against disease OF
any sort. Most people find that they
suffer from colds to a greater exten,
when living or working under condi-
tions in which the supply Of oxygen is
efficient. Overstrain of either mind or
body is also conducive to colds.

FARMING FOR PROFIT.

Success in farming operations. as in
other lines of endeavor, depends
largely upon "knowing how" The
knowledge necessary for success may
be acquired by a course OF practical
experience-which is generally the
most expensive method-or it may be
obtained through instruction from ex.
perts who have made agricultural
matters a life study.
The citizens of Montana who pro.
pose to engage in agricultural pur-
suits and desire to be prepared for
that occupation, are offered an oppor.
tunity to equip themselves with the
knowledge necessary to success. a

Bumper Crops In Gallatin.

BozEMAN, Sept. 2O.-Grain yields
that are almost beyond belief are
daily reported in this city, until the
people here would not be surprised to
hear of 200. bushel crops. From all
sections of the valley comes word Of
phenomenal yields aud threshers re.

the past twenty years.
George Carr raised 81 bushels of
wheat per acre, his crop consisting of
a %. acre tract. Harry Walton, who
resides east of Belgrade, threshed IS
bushels of wheat to the acre on sixty
acres. Perry Knowlton, q few miles
out of Bozeman, averaged 80 bushels
on his SO. acre crop. Oats are crowd.

Flax is not vet threshed, but harvest
prospects point to record yields in

n STATE FAIR.

A good many Montana people are
making their plans with reference to
the fact that the last week in Septem-
Der is state fair time. That event Ia

the Anaconda Stand ard. 1t is report.
ed that this years county fairs, except
in instances where the weather inter.
fered, have been q gratifying success,
wherein they have revealed greater
interest than formerly In the display
of local products.
The state fair is the climax for these
local undertakings. A leading item
in the life of Montana for the past
three years is found in the rapid in.
crease In its agricultural activity and,
at the same time, in q marked awak.
ening of interest throughout the state
in farm aft airs, in orchard develop
ment, in the raising of livestock OF
higher grade and in the genuine de-
velopment of the states rural re.
sources.
The change in this respect is greater,
perhaps, than is realized by those OF
our people whose interests are at the
important centers Of population. Not
many years ago, in too many In.
stances. Montana people we're skepti-
cal respecting their own states posi-.
bilities, with respect to agriculture.
The commemorative endowment 10
this respect is rapidly proving to be
immensely richer and more availabl e
than was suspected by a good percen.

1t Is found that human effort ap.
piled to our soil brings results that TO
q degree are remarkable. The fact is
that a good many of US long resident
here we're strangely slow in finding
this out. This has happened, natur.
ally enough, because In so large de-
gree the energy OF our people was
spent in the quest for opportunities in

BECOMES VICTIM OF
 AUDACIOUS THEFT

Paris, July 22.-(Special)-A Paris dealer in precious stones. MT. Langnel, Is the victim of an audacious theft perpe- trated by means of the time-honored con fidence trick, A few weeks ago, M.

 A few days ago Sognier introduced to M. Lagnel a wealthy friend' of his, whom he called M. Chevalier, of Cler- mont Ferrand, who desired to buy a pearl necklace for his wife. Yesterday the two men called at NJ. Iagners office in the Rue du Temple, and M Chevaler selected a necklace
 valued at $2s,000. When about to pay
 he discovered that he Had left his purse at his hotel. In order to be sure that the necklace would not be exchanged for another, while he was absent in search of the money, Chevalier asked if it could be placed in sealed envelope. This was done, and Chevalier and his friend dis appeared.
