JUST POOLING
THE FARMERS
The Business of Roosevelt
And Taft.
THE GIANT HARVESTER TRUST
Is Still in the Saddle, Despite
HypOcritical Efforts TO
DislOdge Ii.
GUILT WAS LONG SINCE FIXED

On June 20 Attorney General
Wickersham assured the House
Committee on Rules that the Gov
eminent would take action against
the Harvester Trust. This trust,
formed in 1901 with a capital of
$50,OOO,OO0 and increased in 1902
to $3.50, 100000, is a Perkins-Mor-
gan-Rockefeller monopoly, created
to fleece the farmers. At its incep-
ton it took in IA of the biggest
competing concerns in harvesting
and other farm implements. 1t ex-
pended $1,4OO,OOO in the purchase
of two of these plants, which it dis
mantled and abandoned.
In June, 1906, the trust pleaded
guilty in a suit brought by the State
of Arkansas and was fined 100000.
In January, 1909, the Kansas Su-
preme Court affirmed a verdict fin
ing the trust $4,000. The convic-
ton i'm this case was based on the
testimony of President Mccormick,
of the trust, that it controlled 50
per cent of the harvesting machin-
cry and that he hoped TO get all the
rest.
The Supreme Court of Missouri
found this trust guilty of violating
the antitrust law, fined it $4,000
afterwards reduced to $25,OOO)
and ordered it ousted from the
State If it failed to comply with the
conditions of the judgment. The
trust promptly took the case up to
the United States Supreme Court.
The Post-Dispatch has shown
conclusively that President Roose-
welt, when i'm office, delayed for FIVE
years the proceedings threatened by
the Department of Justice. In the
early part of 1907. when Roosevelt
was denouncing "malefactors of
great wealth." Attorney General
Bonaparte had in his possession
proofs sufficient to warrant proceed.
ings against the trust and its or
ganizers. But after visit by Per-
kins and Mccormick 20 the White
House, the case was pigeOn-holed,
on the ground that the Department
Of Justice was busy with other trust
suits, but chiefly as a practical an
swer to the cautious question put
by President Roosevelt, in a letter
to the Attorney General, asking
whether We can AFFORD to throw
away the great influence of the
Morgan interests which nave been
so friendly to us?"
But what has Taft done toward
lifting this burden off the hacks Of
the farmers? Absolutely nothing
for three whole years. The Har-
vester Trust Is still in the saddle.
1t is still fleeing the farmers on 81
per cent of all their purchases for
agricultural machinery.
The guilt, corporate and person
al. of this giant monopoly and its
magnates, was long since fixed. Has
Taft, any more than Roosevelt,
placed the interests of the farmers
above those of the Morgan-Perkins-
Rockefeller monopolists? - [Saint
Louis Post-Dispatch.

ANOTHER BUSINESS
BLOCK FOR OCALA

While on our rounds yesterday we
dropped into Mr.. Woodrow's office on
the square to get the real estate news
and saw for the first time a water
color sketch of the front elevation of
the proposed building soon to be erect
ed by the owners of the vacant lot on
the square located between the Ocala
National Bank and the building now
occupied by Mr. Condor and the Ocala
and Southwestern Railroad Co., and
which was formerly the home of the
Central National Bank.
We asked Mr.. Woodrow what he was
doing with the sketch and he explain
ed by saying that he only has a lease
on his present office until next fall;
that he asked President Edwards of
the Ocala National Bank when the
building was going up as he wanted to
look around for new Offices in good
time. Mr.. Edwards stated that the
building would be erected he thought
just as soon as the demand warranted
II and asked Mr.. Woodrow as he was
in that line of business what he could
do I'M the way of securing tenants.
The building will have four stories
downstairs and offices upstairs and
will be modern in every respect and
steam heated.
The new postoffice building in Ocala
has had much to do with the recent
building up of the north side of the
square and particularly the west half
of the block on which now stands the
Ocala National Bank, the Lanier Rob
ertson building. the earn building and
the Bierman building. 1t is not sc
many years ago that this half-block
was occupied by the old ZeButt house
which had to be torn down to make
way for these handsome buildings
Mr.. Woodrow sold all of these lots and
naturally takes a prid in seeing them
all built on. When this new building
goes up the only vacant lot will be the
one which DR.. Chace bought and sold
to Messrs. Carney and Phillips. And
so Ocala grows.

Among the hardest-worked people
in the world during the Christmas sea-
son are the postoffice clerks. People
put Off sending presents that are to go
by mail till Christmas Eve, or the day
before, or the day after, until in the
last hours the clerks and carriers find
themselves confronted with stacks of
packages that seem by their quantity
to demand shovels and wheelbarrows
instead of intelligent and delicate
manipulation. Its an everlasting tes-
timonial to the hardest worked and
poorest paid of Uncle Sans men that
not one in a thousand goes wrong,
very few are delayed. Make a Christ
mas present to your faithful friends in
the postofices by doing your shopping
and your shipping early. Buy all your
presents early next week, and mail
them as fast as possible. The stores
will give you nice little labels, mot
to be opened till Christmas" the pres
ents will be on time, your mind will
be easier, and the postoffice men will
have time for a little Christmas OF
their own.

COMMON PEOPLE HAVE
FIRST CLAIM ON CLAUDE

Congressman at Large LEngle
doesn't seem to be ready to forget that
his election was by the people and not
by the politicians This is what he
says in regard to application for office:
thought that 1 would be able to
keep up with the correspondence that
has flowed in upon me since me and
Woodrow were elected, and l have
done my best, but no typewriter, ma
chine or human can keep up with it. 1
take this means of apologizing to many
OF the patriots who have applied to me
for my endorsement for federal posi-
tions for the delay in answering their
letters. Recognizing the obligation
upon me to give every one the very
best service I can, and acknowledging
the right of each person in Florida
to call upon me in my representative
capacity. 1 anticipate that the CORES
pondence will keep up in about the
same volume, and I will surely answer
every letter quick as l can.
With a view of simplifying matters,
somewhat. and because 1 have gotten
behind in my letter writing, I take
this opportunity to declare that I will
adhere strictly to the statement 1 made
before 1 was nominated in the primary,
which is
That as I expected to be elected by
the common people, man must be
both poor and common before he can
get me to consider favorably his APP
plication for my endorsement for a
federal position.

people, who are mostly poor, so, the
statement goes. This announcement

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS
Preparing for Their Usual Excellent
Christmas Work

The regular monthly meeting of the
Kings Daughters was held at the
Methodist church Friday morning at
10 o'clock with good attendance.
After the opening exercises, the needs
of the worthy We're discussed, new
cases presented and reports of good
work done during the summer read
and bills were audited and ordered
paid.
The question of the usual Christmas
baskets was taken up. We find our
funds lower in the treasury at this
time than for many years. Our work
has been heavy and the demands
greater the past year than at any
other time. Notwithstanding we de-
cided to send out as usual our baskets,
with an urgent appeal to the public
and Sunday schools and to the public
generally for assistance. Anything will
be acceptable. We ask that clothing
may be all in by the 18th of the month
that it may be properly looked over
and sorted out. The baskets will be
packed at Mrs. Sistrunk's on Monday
afternoon before Christmas. All con-
tributions should be sent to her resi-
dence. Will all contributors kindly
find a way to send in their contribu-
tions? Any one having old doll bodies
is asked to send to Mrs. Weihe, as we
have a number of doll heads which
might be used, although new dolls
will not come amiss. Contributions
should all be in not later than II
o'clock Monday, Dec %. Money and
checks can be sent TO our treasurer,
Mrs Jake Brown. The committee will
be appointed later for the packing Of
the baskets and also distributing the
same, and will be announced through
the papers The names of all worthy
and needy persons are requested to be
sent in as soon as possible that we
may know how many are to be pro-
vided for The Kings Daughters.
