stituted and some three or four wit
nesses examined at the time l came
into office. We Immediately began
a vigorous prosecution in this case
and something like one hundred wit
nesses or more were examined by
both sides. We went to New York
and took the evidence of George w.
Perkins, junior member of the bank
ing firm of j.. P. Morgan G. Company.
MI. Perkins is the man who en-.
gineered and brought about the
formation Of this trust.
The International Harvester Com.
pany had a capital stock of sf20,0OO,-
100000 and not only did ninety per cent
of the harvester business of the
United States, but of the entire
world. 1t was a complete monopoly
in that industry.
This corporation played a most inn
portant part in the late political
drama presented to the American
people by Theodore Roosevelt and
President Taft. Mr.. Taft accused
Mr.. Roosevelt of postponing the
prosecution of the harvester trust.
Mr.. Roosevelt confessed the truth.
but charged that Mr.. Taft was pres.
ent in the cabinet meeting and con-
sented for it to be done. Mr..
Roosevelt in turn asked President
Taft why he did not prescott the
harvester trust now. The Presidents
reply was copied in the newspapers
throughout the country. He said he
was awaiting the result of the prose-
cution of the harvester trust by At
torney-G General Major of Missouri.
Missourians may have the s~atisfac-
ton of knowing that at least once the
eyes of the President of this great re-
public rested upon Missouri's legal
department. The President then was
watching the battle between the great
harvester trust and Missouri's homely
Acknowledgement.

Progressive Democracy

This is a progressive age, the march
of progress is upon every hand and the
public servant must stand forprogression,
not only in principle but in public ser
vice. We must labor for progress in
governmental affairs and in our COM
mercial and civic achievements.
The Democratic party has a great
duty to perform and before it lies the
golden opportunity arising from two cen
turtles. Let the party meet the problems
of today in that masterfu1 spirit which
is in keeping with it's splendid and glori-
Gus past. Let it demonstrate again it's
craftsmanship and ability to handle every
question and meet every situation in
both State and nation. In this great
hour of opportunity the Democracy will
not fail and the country will be swept by
Wilson from Maine to California, and
Missouri will go Democratic from Clark
to Mcdonald and from Atchison to
PemiScot.-E1hac from Elliott W. Majors speech.

first step in the four transforming
epochs in this country.
The antitrust laws had been upon
III statutes for t~wenty-three years
and were written by Hon. Champ
Clark, now speaker of the National
House of Representatives. On the
first of last April, in a unanimous
opinion handed down by Justice La
mar, the law was sustained. In thus
winning the cases over some of the
greatest lawyers in the west and in
sustaining the law, we can but feel
proud. In sustaining the law and af-
flrming the judgments, we were en-
abled to collect from the companies
fines totaling 500, 10000, and placed
same in the treasury of the state of
Missouri TO the credit of the revenue
fund.
Beef Trust.
The Armours, Swifts and Morrises
represent the principal packing inter
ests in this country. They do more
business in their line than all the
other packing interests in America
combined. These three separate in
terests formed the National Packing
Company, with an original capital
stock of $15,000,0O0 90. OF this
amount the Swift interests took ST.
600, 100000, the Armours $4,000, 100000
and the Morrises $4,000, 100000. The
Armours, Swifts and Morrises were
all directors in the company. This
National Packing Company purchased
some twenty-five independent con
Germs which had been and were COM
petitors in the markets.
We instituted suit against these
interests, charging them with restrain
ing trade, and alleging that the Ma
tional Packing Company was the in
strumentality and device through
which the trust fixed prices both up
on live stock and the finished prod
uct. All the evidence has been taken

that beggars after wandering from one
ward to another and back again ul-
timately settle down in the region
Of the least resistance, namely, the
suburbs. The latest happenings prove
that suburbs are fast becoming tho
centers of mendlcity and criminality.
The mainichi therefore begs the au-

FOR UGLIEsT WOMAN

MARRIES HER.
Bachelor Leaves Fund to Help Out the
Romely Girl--German Town Re-
wards Lovers Who Marry Un-
attractive Women

A we'll known bachelor who died
the other day at Frankfort, Germany,
left an endowment for an annual
prize of SIPS to the man who leads
the ugliest woman to the altar. IL
the bride Is lame as we'll as unprepos-
sessive the groom will receive an adj
ditional SIS.
This reminds US that the town Of
Haschmann. in Germany, has a sys-
tenn OF rewarding lovers who marry
girls who have little or no personal
attractions. a well known flnancier
left q sum of money to the town au-
thorities to provide dowries for the
plainest woman under thirty married
In Haschmann every year, cripple,
and four women under forty who had
been Tilted several times.
Givette, town in the Ardennes,
was left some money a long time
ago, and today 1t encourage matri-
mony by awarding money prizes to
mothers who send the largest number
of children to the schools.
It may not be generally known
that the church Wardens OF Yatten-
den receive every two years from the
mayor and burgesses Of Reading the
sum of 3 shillings under James Po-
cocks charity. 1t appears that
Pocock by his will, dated September
20, 1910, gave to the mayor and cor
poTation of Reading the sum OF $3.50,
on condition that they should buy
land with the money. The rents
thereof" so runs the will, Ito be en-
ployed to provide eight shirts and
eight smocks, of two shilllngs apiece
each, or above, and bestow five shirts
and five smocks to ten Of the poorest
people In the town Of Reading and
the remainder one year to six Of the
poorest people of the parish of Grill
sham, Berks and the other
.?ear to six Of the poorest people OF
The parish of Yattenden.' James
Pocock also directed that the mayor
should have pennies and the church
wardens pennies for their trouble IN
purchasing and distributing the shirts
and smocks.
A singular ceremony was observed
ut Guildford q month or SO ago. when
@cyeral maid servants competed for

Ivy John How in 1914. According to

by the Cardiff council and the mayor
nays over the dowries. This marriage
'und owes It's existence to the gener-
osity Of the Marquis OF Butte, he hav-
ing placed in the hands Of the mayor
Of Cardiff, in the year 1897, the sum
Of $4,000, the yearly income from
which was to be distributed each
