The Harvester trust, which
annually takes millions of dollars
from the farmers, sells binders
in Russia and South America fol-
800, and the farmers of the
United States are charged $12(
for the self same binder. Dur.
ing the Roosevelt regime an eff.
fort WIS made TO break up this
trust, which so rankly discrimi.
mates against and over charges
the American farmer, and Mr..
Roosevelt secretly suppressed
that effort by ordering his attor-
ney general not to start a con-
templated suit until he gave the
word, which word he never gave.
Mr.. Roosevelt thus aided and
abetted the one trust which more
than all others combined robs
and plumbers the farmers of this
country.
G. w. Perkins, organizer of
this harvester trust, is now put
ting up the money for Mr.. Roose-
velt's campaign.
A HIGH SALARIED BOOT BLACK.
When Congressman Hamliu, of
Missouri, was investigating the
State Department he made in
quiries about a certain colored
man who was down on the pay
roll at $4,000 a year. He was
told that this man never came
around the department, except
to draw his pay, for the reason
that he was detailed" at Mr..
Knox private residence.
Where is he now?" Mr..
Hamlin asked.
He is down at the Panama
canal. acting as valet to Secre-
tary Knox during the latter's
tour of Central America" was
the reply.
And does he have to shine
the Secretary's shoes?" Mr..
Hamlin asked.
Eyes, | suppose that is a part
of his duties" was the answer.
FIXING 1T so THEY CAN'T LOSE.
According 70 sworn statements
filed with the Secretary of State
of Pennsylvania it cost the Taft
and Roosevelt managers approx
imately So, 900, 600 to conduct the
recent primary campaign. In
Allegheny county, which in
cludes Pittsburg, the following
were among the contributors to
the Taft fund: James Laughlin
and Henry Laughlin, Of the Jones
Laughlin Steel Co., $4,000 each;
B. F. Jones, of the Jone Laugh
lin steel Co., $4,000; Senator
G. F. Oliver, owner of newspa-
pers, banks and steel stocks
81, 900; w. F. Snyder, owner Of
lake steamer lines which supply
the steel trust with ore, $1,000;
j. H. Reed, chief counsel for the
Carnegie steel Co., 81, 900; w. l..
King. director of the steel trust,
81, 600, w. F. McCook steel trust
attorney, $1,000 w. II. Rowe,
president Of the Pittsburg steel
company, 1000; A. w. Mellon,
banker and steel stock owner,
1000, and George Westing-
house, large user of steel, 81, 600.
Mr.. Roosevelt's chief support
ers in the present campaign are
G. w. Perkins, director of the
Steel trust, and Frank A. Mum
sey largest individual owner of
the trusts common stock.
Nothing could be more appar-
ent than that the steel int rests
of this nation would be perfectly
satisfied to have either Mr.. Taft
or Mr.. Roosevelt in the White
House.

met with little success, though he did sue
ceed in gaining recognition for the light
harness road horse of America at the In
ternational Horse Show in London.
In his breeding opera tions Mr.. Winans
has conducted some important and inter
esting experiments in crossing the Amer
lean trotter and the English hackney
The two families of horses, like the people
who possess them, sprang from much
the same stock originally, but while the
hackney was developed for style and
show and tiashy action the trotter was
bred for speed alone. 1t was the idea of
Mr.. Winans that by reunitiny the two
breeds he could produce a harness horse
having the speed and stamina of the
trotter combined with the brilliant action
and beauty of form which distinguish
the hackney. His experiments were so
successful that several representatives of
the hackney-trotter cross won prizes at
English horse shows in the pace and
, action" class.
Among the many notable American
horses taken 10 England by Mr.. Winans
was the pony trotter Little lobe, 2:194.
one of the crack campaigrers of his day
on Eastern circuit tracks. In England
he was docked, trimmed up in hackney
fashion and exhibited as a high acting
cob in heavy leather, winning numerous
prizes at the International and other
shows.
A feature of Mr.. Winans' great stable
is his collection of Russian equipages,
representing all styles of carriages,
horses, harness and appointments in use
among the wealthy titled subjects of the
Tsar He has several times shown per-
fectly appointed prestashkas and dros-
kys at the Paris Horse Show.
1t was as a pistol shot that Mr.. Winans
first gained prominence in the world Of
sport. Prior to 1856 civilians had not been
considered competent to handle revolyers
or compete in tournaments at Wimbledon.
Mr.. Winans, however, obtained permission

sport, art and literature, is Mr.. Wal

running deer rifle team. whose mani
fold talents make him a conspicuous hs-
ure at the Olympic games now in progress
at Stockholm.
at this international meeting was re-
Gently announced in cable dispatches to
the American press. The games preserve
the old Greek ideal, which demands the
development of every capability OF man.
Mr.. Winans is a modern instance Of
symmetrically developed faculties.
He was for years the champion re-
volver shot and double rife shot of Eu-
rope and America, a big game hunter
with a record in Asia, Africa and North
America; a painter and sculptor whose
works were of such merit as 10 win
recognition a. the Royal Academy Of Fine
Arts in London, an author of several au-
thoritative books on shooting and breed
ing, breeder of fast trotting horses and
high steppin- hackueys, with a racing sta
bic at Vienna and other Continental trot-
, ting tracks, ant string of harness horses
in England good enough to win the high
est honOrs at the London International
Horse Show.
Mr.. Walter Winans was born in Russia
| Ififty-eight years ago. He has resided in
England since he was seventeen years
old and has long occupied the historic
estate at Surrender Park. near Pluckley.
in the county of Kent, where he maintains
an extensive horse breeding stud and pri-
vate game preserves. with American
bison, elk and moose, japanese deer, Rus
sian stays, African antelope, wild boars
and various other animals from the four
corners of the world.
Despite his foreign birth and residence,
Mr. Winans is still an American, who
never loses an opportunity to further
American sporting interests in England
and elsewhere in Europe. He was one Of
the American revolver team at the Olym-
pic games in 1905 and again competed as
an American at Stockholm this year.
Both he and his brother have done yeo-
man service in bringing the American
horse into prominence, not only in Eng
land but in nearly every country Of
Europe where running and trotting races
are i'll vogue. Almost twenty years ago
Mr.. Winans purchased here the crack
trotting stallion Fides Stanton, 2:15,
/ and his Ypata Rarnav l. O.oIK apd
drove them on the road in England in
light harness and to pneumatic wagons
of American style and build, hoping to
set the fashion there which Robert Bon
ner, Commodore Vanderbilt and others
had made SO popular in this country. He
tried also to establish harness racing ON
high plane in England, but in both ven
lures he counted without the inborn Brit

show what a civilian could do. 1t was
lucky for the competitors that his shooting
did not count, as he made the three highest
scores registered during the tournament.
With competition open to all the result
was that every year he shot at Wimbledon
he won the grand aggregate. civilian az
'gregate and military aggregate, all his
scores being the best on record at every
distance and style of shooting. As to the
possibilities of revolver shooting Mr..
Winans says that al twelve yards one
ought 10 put the six bullets all in one hole.
At fifty yards he puts them all in four
inch bulrs-eye, and at one hundred yards
he can put most Of them in.
One of Mr.. Winans' ambitions is to
bring down u deer Of every known species.
He has hunted them in Siberia, Man
churia and Japan, and has accounted for
at least one of every species known in Eu-
rope. 1t is said that he has shot more
stays than any man living. Many years
ago he leased string of deer forests ex-
tending clear across Scotland, through
Invernay. Another of his hobbies is boar
shooting. He won the kaIser's gold medal
a few years ago at Friedrichsruhe by kill
ing the largest boar of the season. Pigeon
racing and yachting are among his other
pastimes.
As a sculptor Mr. Winans has made
horses and equestrian sports his favorite
subjects. His statuette Of a saddle horse,
entitled The Spanish Trot," was on view
in the art exhibition in connection with
the Paris Horse Show of 1910, and that of
Cresceus, . :02hi, then the champion Amer
lean trotting stallion, was accepted by the
Paris Society of Horse Painters and
SculptOrs for exhibition at the French
capital several years ago. His Cowboy
Mounting Bucking Bronco" was
awarded a medal at the Paris Exposition
of 1900. Buffalo Bills Wild West show
supplied the model. At that time Mr.
Winans had never been in America.
His two sons have won distinction on
the polo field. They played In the Oxford
team in 1906 in the match against Cam

previously had been beaten three yeaEs N
