CHICAGO, March 6.--Declaring that
the governments case against the
ten millionaire packers, charged with
conspiracy under the Sherman anti
trust law has been practically con-
cluded and that all that remains ia the
introduction Of formal evidence con-
corning the incorporation of tho var
ious packing concerns alleged to COM
pose the trust, United States District
Attorney Wilkerson announced today
that the prosecution would rest late
this afternoon or early tomorrow.
The evidence yet to be introduced
before Judge Carpenter consists prin-
cipally of documents and is present
ed by stipulation with the defendant
attorneys.
Important evidence introduced by
the government during the last ten
days leads government attorneys to
believe today Judge Carpenter will
quickly overrule the motion which the
defense has announced it will make
to have the case dismissed for lack OF
proof. as soon as the government
rests.
| A member of Wilkerson's staff today
gave out the following outline Of the
case the government claims has been
made:

other party to adopt it before the peo-

While trying out new stunts it is a
good idea to have practiced hand

The theory that Prof. Wilson now

farmers, but wait.

GREAT THEORIES AND THEORISTS


! FURNISHED by Progressive Conn.,
Louis D. Brandies, the J. Rufus Wal
ingford of the democratic party, il
chiefly noted for his theories. No
on one subject, but on all of them
or nearly so.
Last year he startled the whole
United States by announcing hi
would save the railroads a million
dollars a day if they would but adop
his theories. In other words he
would increase their net earnings
from 40 to so per cent. He spent
much time in explaining to the Inter
state Commerce Commission how II
could be done. But they could not
see the point, and only smiled. MOI
did the railroads care for the money
anyway.
Now this is the same man that
tells Woodrow Wilson and everybody
else that he can write law that will
make the dissolved Standard Oil com
pany compete with itself, and Pro.
fessor Wilson said it was great dope
for the Fall Races
One peculiar characteristic of these
great theorists, is that they are will.
ing to believe most anything If it is
only a theory, and Professor Wilson
is we'll qualified in this way. He has
spent the greater potrion of his life
as teacher of theories. For many
years he has been president of one
of the largest Theory Factories" in
the United States.
The democratic party has been not
ed for it's theories. The only time
they were given chance to prac-
tice them, they were told by their
p esident that they We're confronted
with condition, not a theory.
The three great theories of the
democratic party was slavery, states
rights, and tariff for revenue only.
The slavery theory was stricken from
the democratic platform by force of
arms.
Regularly for more than a half a
century, the democrats have submit
ted their theories of states rights
and tariff for revenue only to the peo-
pie and each time DEBATED with one
exception. Only once since the Civil
War have these theorists been given
a chance to see what they could do
and what they did do is still night
mare to our older business men.
The democratic party has had many
passing theorists and theories. If by

Keep the Mills Running.
What is more important to US than
a slight raise in the things We buy is
the great raise in the things we sell.
We always sell twice as much as We
use for clothing and food. and we use
this balance for the Intangible ex-
)enses of life, for education, for the
churches, for travelling, for amuse-
ments and thousands of things that
are not absolutely essential and these
expenses make up the greater part of
the expenses of the American people.
When We receive high price for our
products, though we may pay consid-
erably more for the necessaries of life,
the balance in our favor will be many
Times greater under the higher price
system:
THE farmer must not only have
something to sell but he must have
something to sell to people who have
something to pay with and if We close
our mills again as we did during the
