Sugar Trust Witness Approves Recent
Supreme Court Decision.

New York. July 2o.-Mr. John e. Par
sons testifying before the sugar invest
igating committee today went into a
long dissertation OH the combinations
of capital which he strongly favored,
condemning the federal government for
it's interference with such combinations
and declaring that Great Britain was
prosperous because of. its nonrestraint
of trade. He was also against the Sher-
man antitrust law and was only luke
warm in approval of the interstate
commerce law.
Il thoroughly approve of the recent
Standard Oil and Tobacco trust cases
where the supreme coure read, reason
able into the law" said Mr. Parsons.
Otherwise there would have been the
worst panic this country ever knew.
This precipitated an argument in
which the witness said this decision
would make it impossible to enforce the
criminal clause of the Sherman act.
Finally Mr.. Parsons said. under pros
sure that he received $500 stock certif-
icates of a par value of $250,00o for his
services in forming the original sugar
refineries company.
II wanted cash but those who insist

wiser because the certificates were
worth more than par"

NORTON HAS A COMPLAINT.
Claim That Wheat Special Correspond
ent Misrepresents County.


To the Editor of the State Journal.
We notice several articles in a To-
peka morning paper from a correspond
ent who is with the Rock Island wheat
train," which is giving lectures to the
farmers OH how to raise 40 bushels Of
wheat per acre.
The people of Norton are wondering
how it happened that such an ignc-
ramus as this correspondent, was al
lowed to send out such scurrilous
articles. They were devoid of all truth
and only reflect discredit upon the
management of the wheat special We
are satisfied the articles were not seen
by Mr.. Cottrel or Mr.. johnson.
It is not the purpose of this article
to discuss the crop conditions. Norton
county does not belong in the tumble
weed district and is not a wheat coun-
ty- Alfalfa, corn and hogs are its
products. The continued dry weather
for past three years has made c0ndi-
lions bad for the farmers but the rains
have come in time to save the corr
and it now looks fine.
The Rock Island traverses the Prai-
RE Dog valley wholly on it's way
through Norton county. There Is not
a more beautiful valley in the west
It was in this valley at Calvert where
the finest alfalfa was sovn in the state

This makes the second town to be

The other ten towns invited are still
