YOAKUM FAVORS
 MARKET BUREAU

Dallas, Tex, October 19.--A National Mark citing Association for farmers was advocated by B. r. Yoakum here today in an address before the conven ton of southwestern growers. 'l talked on the subject of National Market Bureau with Governor Wilson 10th as to it's importance and neces- sity and he is heartily in favor of it's creation on board and comprehensive lines, and is ready to join in conjunc- tion in pushing it through" he said. Tt costs the farmers something like S1 70, 100000 annually in interest on their loans which is s20,000,000 more than it should be. q can give an in- stance of a carload of watermelons to be shipped to Memphis which was sold at i've cents piece and resold at 50 cents in Minnesota. The buyer told the farmer he could not pay him much because of excessive railroad freights which the speaker declared was exor- bitant. This Is not true. The time is passing when men can satisfy the mid dleman by arguments of increasing railroad tariffs

Johnson Speaks in Chicago

Chicago, October Ex-Governor Hiram Johnson of California. progressive vice presidential candidate. made three speeches in Chicago today and tonight and held conferences with Colonel Roosevelt and progressive party mana gers over the conduct of the remaining two weeks of the campaign. Whether Governor Johnson is to stay in the east or return to the Pacific coast still is undecided
 Referring to statistics which he ob-
 tained today, the governor tonight dis cussed the question of minimum wage for women and strongly urged that such legislation be adopted by the federal government.
 q was surprised today to learn from Miss Mary McDowell settlement worker of your city, that 59 per cent of the women of this land between the ages of 16 and 20 years are engaged
 in what are known as gainful pur- suits" said the governor. That means that there are about 100000 of them in this class. Hundreds of thousands from s3.50 to s6 week. On this meagre wage they are expected to keep up good appearance.
 If you realize what this means. then you know that this question must be solved governmentally if we would en- dure as a nation government that permits this sort of thing to exist per mits the grossest crime against it's fu- ture citizenship and sows within itself the very seeds of dissolution
 ''The democratic candidate for Pres- dent stands opposed to the minimum wage and we are glad indeed to take our stand on the opposite side of the question and to permit the electorate of the land to decide which plan they like better"

olies with policies considered healthy.
 This Is not my attitude" said the eX-President, 'in fact it Is as near the antithesis of my position as the axes of the poles."
 MT. Henry brought the statement from the colonel's room which says in part;
 '1 explained my position in my Mil waukee speech when l said in effect that the idea had was there should he passed new laws, or that the Sherman antitrust act should be amended in such sense that there would be def milton of what was wrong, eliminating the rule of reason clause l am in favor of new laws or of the amending of the sherman law to provide suca supervision as contained In the LaFol- lette-Lenroot arguments, I would pro vide in the statute provisions whicn said This thing is wrong or That thig Is wrong 1 would not have left to the guess or judgment of any mar or mon the determination of what was wrong or right or reasonably wrong or reasonably right. If. for in- stance. corporation should be found crushing out competition by refusing tn sell when the patron bought of com petitors, or by under selling in dis tricts, or in the dozens of other ways that congress should learn were being practiced and should say fe Illegal, we would have the statute say point blank with no loop hole for escape. that the corporation was guilty. I would have the commission enforce the law much as the interstate commerce com mission enforces the railroad rate and rebate laws. I would have the com mission empowered to put men on the books of corporation whose acts were questioned so that the responsf- bility of that corporation, and it's meth ods of conducting business would be at all times within the view of those whose vicar duty 1t is to enforce the law I find I am accused of wanting to give tie commission the power to fix the prices I do not want now to provide that. l fancy the commission would be so busy for a time in enforcing laws that it would not want to concern it self with prices
 The bearer of this message said the colonel declared that the railroad com mission by its power to do things he suggested for the industrial commits sion practically had eliminated rebat- ing practices and other cancers of rail- road traffic. He said on the whole the effect on corporate business would he wholesome.

Explains Cause of War

In the presence of the troops at Nish yesterday King Peter read a long procla- nation, explaining the causes of Servia' s declaration of war against Turkey. He declared that the condition of serbs in Turkey had been for many years 'abso- utey intolerabe' The treaty of Berlin had wrought no improvement in their condition. Murder would be continued on the basis of Turkish rule over them. un- der the constitutional regime there had been no abatement in the oppressive measures. By every possible method Tur- key sought also to hinder Seryia's eco homie development
 Cut off from the sea Servia had long sought to obtain from the porte perms- sion to construct from the frontier to the Adriatic railways. which she consid- cred vital to her development, but with out success.
 When an attempt was made in a col ective note to obtain a pacific settle ment" continued the proclamation, the response was fresh massacres of our brethren. and atrocities and violations against Servians on the frontier. For this reason, with the help of God l ordered my valiant army to take up arms for the holy war of liberty for our brethren and for the progress of the kingdom of Servia.'
 After reference to the loyal support of the allies in the common cause. the proc amation concludes:
 "I ask you. dear brethren, to assist with all your hearts and all your strength my army Long live my dear Servian nation.
 After the proclamation was read in- structions were given for a general ad- vance of the Servian army.
