Plea Of Mr.. Perkins.

Harvester Company, but also the far
reaching Morgan interests generally. had
originally favored the creation Of the
the President. which that bureau repre-
scented. and that both in their attitude
toward the bureau and In their conduct
and management OF their various con-
Germs including the United States

hcity; that. SO far as he was aware.
they had not been guilty Of any
violation Of the law. certainly none In
he phrased it, he was now being laughed
at In New York by the Standard OH peo-
PIE, who were saying that he had tried
to be good and keep solid with the ad-
to get the Same dose Is other people who
had not followed such policy: that very
serious financial interests were involved
In this proposed suit: that the company
borrows annually about $4,000. 600 abroad
for the carrying on their foreign busi-
ness; that upon the publication OF the
proposed action by the Department OF
Justice the foreign fnanciers have refus-
ed to extend this accommodation, and
that the money would have to be raised
now In New York under great disad-
vantage. and that as a result it might
readily happen that several OF their i'm
portant plants would be closed and a
number OF thousand men thrown out OF
employment. and, especially. that the
foreign trade in harvesting implements,
that had been developed almost entirely
by the International Harvester Com
any, would be lost: that the company
s.oys over 5000 men, exclusively
OF selling agents. and does an actual
business Of over q hundred million dol
lars.
He concluded with great emphasis
with the remark that IL, after the en-
deAvors OF this company and the other
Morgan interests to uphold the policy of
the administration and to adopt their
methods Of modern publicity. this COM
pany was now to be attacked in pure

sented were going to Tight

Termed a Moral Injustice.

II therefore feel that the starting of a
suit under the Sherman law against this
company would, in the first place, be a
moral injustice, and, in the second place.
would be a reversal Of the correct and
advanced modern policy OF the President
in dealing with corporate business. 1t is
question of general policy Of great
importance, which must be. 1 think, de-
termined now, and for which this case
will stand as precedent.
This case raises the question included
in what the President has called good
and bad trusts; the question whether
mere combination, as such, shall be pro-
hibited, whether the government is going
to try to forbid all combinations, re-
whether. on the other hand. it is going
to pursue the policy, frequently stated by
the President. of regulation and control
rather than Of prohibition.
1T Is submitted that two wholly in
consistent principles are brought here In
conflict. One or the other must give
way. II the principle illustrated by this
proposed case against the harvester COM
pany is to be followed, 1t Is believed that
the principle for which the bureau Of cor
porations stands must be abandoned and
its work substantially cease. It Is impos-
sible both to destroy and to regulate
combinations The choice must be made
now between these two divergent
policies.
II believe that Industrial combination is
an economic necessity; that the Sherman
law, as Interpreted by the Supreme Court
Is an economic absurdity and is impossi-
bic Of general enforcement. and even, II
partially enforced. will in most cases
work only evil. believe the principle 1t
represents must ultimately be abandoned;
that combination must be allowed and
then regulated. and that the best means
of regulation is by publicity. aided by the
action Of the Department Of Justice and
Of the courts.
This case against the company is q
civil not criminal one. Delay will not
affect the case. through any statute Of
| limitation. If there is a good, equitable
case against the company, It will be in q
thousandfold better shape for trial after
the Investigation by the bureau than now
These considerations explain and JUS
tify the attitude taken by the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, which atti-
tude represents, I believe, that Of q ma
jority Of the financial interests of the
country.
Opposition Of Morgans.
while the administration has never

Is believed that q substantial wrong is
being committed. 1t il a very practical
question whether 1t is well to throw away
now the great influence Of the so-called
Morgan interests which up to this time
have supported the advance policy OF the
administration both in the general prin-
ciples, and in the application thereof to
their specific interest, and to place them
generally In opposition.

North Dakota. She taught one year in
Day county and then went to Cando,
North Dakota, where she taught four
years. 1t was while at Cando that she
met George w. Taylor and love brought
them to the altar and made them man
and wife on September 2, 1911. Their
lives were happy and full of promise.
They moved to Perth, North Dakota.
We have no particulars of her death
other than it came from childbirth. The
remains were taken to the old home in
Owatonna for burial, the funeral taking
place from the Congregational church,
and all that was mortal was laid to rest
in Forest Hill cemetery.
Her brother, John, and sisters, Mrs.

which was to provide for the stopping
of two of the fast trains in this city
one going west in the morning at $50
and one going east in the afternoon at
about 3:00-had to be postponed one

impossible to arrange by that time for
all the changes necessary On the o n
nections at other points east and west.

officials hope by next Monday to have
everything completed and the new
time card will go into effect by which

to Circuit COurt-Now
in the County Jail

Yesterday afternoon complaint was
made to Chief Of Police Garrick that
a fellow was in the city war prepared
with loaded dice and crooked cards to
fleece the unsuspecting laboring people
of their hard earned coin. The chief
immediately began a search for the
gentleman, but the fellow saw Jim first
and and made a run for it in an effort
to get away-dodged into an alley. The
chief was not to lose so easily. He
looked up his assistants, Wilcox and
Johnson, and all started in seach for
alleged crooked gentleman.
The chief and Wilcox went down the
alley and johnson took Main street.
The offender saw the ofic ers coming
down the alley and pulled out on Rail-
road avenue. He was pointed out to
Johnson who started toward him. The
fellow seeing the officer approach again
made a run. Johnson started in per-
suit and called to the man to halt but
he only ran the faster. Johnson hoping
to brighten and compel the fellow
to stop fired his gun a couple of times
but the fellow increased the pace.
Henry did not desire to shoot the
mar and did not shot at him. Seeing
that the fellow wouldn't stop until over
taken and had gained some in the first
lap-Henry then started in dead earnest
and after an exciting race of a few
blocks overhauled him.
He was taken before Justice Harris,
plead guilty and was bound over under
one hundred dollar bonds for keeping
and conducting a gambling outfit. He
gave his name as Gilbert Lowry and
not having money or friends is waiting
in the county Jail.

say it was a pretty rae and that John
son is some sprinter and demonstrated
he has fine win1.

The Best Terms

That is what every person is looking
for when making a deal of any kind.
There are land deals made all over the
country and many of them on crop pay
ments. We have a scheme whereby the
buyer gets the most benefit of his lab
ors. We sell him a North Dakota farm
in a place where crops are generally
good and take a chance with him. We
sell him on the crop payment plan. We
give him every advantage all the way
through. Pierce & Ravens.

SOUTH DAKOTA GAME LA WS
State Warden Tells the County
Wardens They lust Do Their
Duty or Successors Will
Placed in Their Stead

State Game Warden w. F. Bancroft
has sent out to all county wardens in
South Dakota, the following letter. Mr.
Bancroft says county wardens must do
business" or lose their jobs. The let
ter reads:
"The open season for hunting and
killing water fowl and prairie chickens
is again drawing near, and the large
number of prairie chickens that abound
in the state this fall is going to make
strenuous work for you all during the
next four or FIVE weeks, "a there will
naturally be a strong tendency for the
~''sooners' to get in their work before
the season legally opens.
"While the amrunt of funds in many
counties of the state which are at the
disposal of the county game wardens is
not large enough to come anywhere near
amply paying for the time and expense
incurred in properly looking after your
duties; in the counties where the fund
is larger, this office will insist that the
game wardens devote all of their time
for the next four or five weeks in keep
ing down violations or an extra officer
will be placed at work in the county
and paid out of the county fund, and at
the same time a county game warden
lays himself liable to removal from Office
for neglect of duty. Where county game
wardens have been drawing pay while
practically having but little to do, it
certainly is not asking too much of them
when insisting that they get out and
put in all the time during the next four
or five weeks.
Reports of violations of law relat-
ing to chickens are already reaching this
office, and in such cases a personal let
ter will be writtento the county game
warden informing him of such reports,
with the request that he get busy and
put a stop to the violations at once If
within his power, and if he is unable to
do so, to once notify this Office.
"a few arrests in the counties where
fragrant violation Of the laws are being
made will put a stop to the 'sooners'
who are the very worst of all offenders
of game and fish laws in general.
"This letter is sent out in the most
charitable spirit, but this Office will
insist upon the wardens doing their full
duty, or either resign their office, and
if not they will be removed.
LET the game wardens show the true
sportsmen that they are doing the very
best within their power, with the means
at hand, to properly enforce the law,
and then there can be no just criticisms

Mrs. George w. Taylor Dead


How sad is life? In what appear to be
our most happy hours, we're called upon
to bear the greatest sorrows and when
blessings seem about to come to out
weigh all others, we are brought face
to face with the grim reaper and one of
our dearest and most beloved is called
to her final reward and passes to that
bourne from which no traveller returns.
In such hours no words of sympathy
can assuage the grief, no amount of
kindness a mitigate to relieve the
mental anguish. Life seems blighted and
all hopes destroyed. Such indeed seemed
the world Saturday night to the rela-
tives of Mrs. George w. Taylor, in Web
ster. The receipt of a telegram changed
their entire beings from n of hope
and promise to that of despair. For
some time they had known that Sadie
was soon to become a mother and each
and all were anxiously awaiting the
receipt of the telegram telling whether
it was a boy or a girl who had come to
bless that young couple in that far away
home in North Dakota. Oh, the heart
break, oh, the sorrow; the great and
awful suffering caused by the knowl-
edge that earthly ties had been broken.
No more were they to see her in youth,
in her strength and in her brightness;
no more would she come to them in her
love, in her consideration and in her
kindness, no, no, no more. The tele-
gram said: "Sadie is dead, come at
lonce." Gone was hope, gone were the
prospects of a bright and happy family,
gone was, it seemed, everything that
had existed to make life worth living.
Dead. We cannot comfort them but
must leave them in their sorrow and
anguish to secure their comfort from
God with whom she now abides in peace
and happiness, having always lived a
pure upright and christian life which
she had given up in her desire to bring
a child into the world to bless the home
of she and her husband. May God sendto
them that comfort which the world can
not give. May the thought that they
will in time meet her in a brighter and
better world where there will be
any more parting bring to their minds
solace, hope and peace.
Sadie Sherbino was born to T. Sher-
bino and wife at Owattonna, MIMI, on
January 10Th, 1880, and was raised to
womanhood there. She was educated
in the schools of that city and graduated
from Pillsbury academy in 1904. Her
schooling wei she decided to consecrate
her life to teaching and spent her time

eral views were taken of farms with
the wonderful harvest scenes now to be

Pickerel and Enemy Swim lakes, and
the gentlemen were also fortunate in
securing several Indian views which will
be used. The Milwaukee representa-
tives were very much impressed with
the beauty of Pickerel lake and its pic
turesque surroundings, and each one
pronounced it the most beautiful lake
