GROWTH OF MONOPOLY

struggle, l have found one great
issue overshadowing and including
all others-the encroachment of
the powerful few on the rights of
the many. All the issues of to-
day are but phases of this one
great question. How shall the in
dividual, the farmer, the worker,
and all those who pay tribute, be
set free from the unjust exactions
of the tariff, the railroads, the
money power, and other forms of
oppression by special interestsY
The combinations have unlaw-
fully taken possession of the whole
country, They control transpor-
tation, manufacturing, mining,
capital and credit, the market price
of everything the farmer sells. the
market price of everything the
consumer must buy. They have
achieved this control, except as
to few of the older trusts,-al-
most entirely under the last two
administrations, Notwithstanding
the prosecutions for which so
much has been claimed.
When Roosevelt became Presi-
dent, the total amount of the stock
and bond issues of all com bina-
tions and trusts, including the
railways then in combination, was
only S3,7S4, 100000 When he
turned the country over to Taft,
whom he had selected as his sue
cessor, the total capitalization of
the trusts and combinations
amounted to the enormous sum of
S31 ,672, 100000 more than 70 per
cent of which was water. Prices
were put up on transportation, and
on the products of the mines and
factories to pay interest and divi-
dends on this fraudulent capitali-
zation.
The organization of these COM
binations in transportation, min
ing, manufacturing, money, credit,
and the control of the markets,
was criminal conspiracy. 1t WAS
in violation of the common law,
and federal statute. 1t was sub
ject to punishment by both fine
and Imprisonment. Moreover, un-
der the provisions of the statute,
every such combination could have
been enjoined, and a violation of
such injunctive order would have
been punishable by Imprisonment
for contempt. The federal statute
specifically made it the duty of the
government to execute the law.
If, in the earlier stages of trust
formation, the executive had used
all the power of this great govern
ment to enforce the antitrust law,
it would have saved the people the
payment of hundreds of millions
of dollars wrongfully taken from
them in excessive transportation
rates, and in exorbitant trust prices
which they have had to pay for the
necessaries of life. Had this been
done before these combined mono-
poles acquired such absolute mas
terry, the people would not now be
confronted with this momentous
question: Are these trusts and
ombinations stronger than the
government itself? That is the
supreme issue. Can the people
free themselves from this powerp
Can the unjust burden of fraudu-
lent capitalization be lifted from
them?-La Follettes.

Even before ho started for syra-

LITERARY FREAKS.
Curious Styles Of Composition That
Amused Old Time Writers.


With many writer's, especially in
olden times, various curious styles of
composition were much in favor. One
author, for example. would compose
verses with some particular letter
omitted from every stanza Others
would write in such n way that the
line read the same backward ana for.
ward. and still others made anagrams
1t was fashionable at one time TO write
verses I'm fantastic shapes.
The form of Il bottle, glass or II fan
was initiated. and this was done by
lengthening or shortening the lines as
required, though with sad detriment to
the verse. Where the design was a
bottle Il number of short lines would
go to form the neck; gradually length
ening. the shoulder would be formed
and then body.
There were also verses arranged in
the form OF Il pair OF gloves. pair OF
spectacles, etc. Specimens Of this kind
of literary frivolity are TO be found IN
French. Spanish ana English books Of
the sixteenth century.
Both in China and Japan such lit
erary feats are held in great esteem
even at the present day. In the lat
ter country the poet not infrequently
arrangcs his verses in the shape OF a
mans head, thus perhaps giving n ia.
clal outline of the subject of his verse
and though the Chinese may not make
so nice choice, choosing perhaps q
COW or other animal for the design
they display greater ingenuity.

ary freaks are the lipogrammatic

probably did not begin to wear hats

early, and then it was the lofty head

which 1t must have been most trying
TO keep on even indoors and quite i'm
possible TO wear in n wind. According
to the Anatomy of Abuses" written
in Queen EliZabeth's time. ladies' hats
were very nearly as perpleXing then as
they are today. "The fashions be rare

Lost Mine Found.

Last week while riding over the hills west of Tumacacori, Alfonso Pachel- Her, Jr. stumbled upon an old aban- doned mine which had been covered up long ago. His hol se's leg broke thru the covering. Stopping to exar- inc, Bachelier found that under the covering through which his horse had broken there was considerable ex- cavation and well defined ledge. He brought into Nogales some of the rock which assayed one and three quarters ounces ii gold and some silver. From d ate that has been culled from the old records of the Tumacacori mission, it is believed that the find is the Guada- lupe Mine that was worked by the friars more than century ago.---Globe Re publican.
