The record of President Taft's ad
ministration is one OF splendid achieve
ment.
His administration has broken al
records for prosecutions brought and
won under the Sherman antitrust law
Without fear or favor it has brought
to the bar of justice corporations anC
persons engaging In Illegal combiua
tions in restraint of trade, the ulti
mate purpose of each combination be
ing to create a monopoly and to raise
the prices on its products. In two
years and eleven months of his ad
ministration President Taft caused T.
be instituted twenty-five civil suits
and forty criminal suits against IL
legal trusts. Roosevelt, in the sever
and half years of his presidency
only instituted forty four suits against
illegal combinations.
Under President Tstt's administra
tion the great Sugar trust frauds were
unearthed resulting IL the forced res
titution of millions OF doiiars into the
national treasury These frauds
which were based upon the bribery ol
customs officials to dishonesty value
imports of sugar were in progress
during the last administration, but
were not detected unil Taft became
president.
Corporation Tax.
President Taft suggested and Sc
cured the enactment Of a law impos-
ing tax upon corporations which
adds $4,000, 900 annually to the reve-
nues of the government.
He advocated and approved the law
establishing postal saving banks.
These banks are now the repositories
Of many millions Of dollars and afford
to people Of small means In remote To-
calities an easy and safe method of
accumulating money.
Under his direction there has been
an investigation of the excessive and
unfair charges OF the express COM
panies and a complete rearrangement
of rates ordered.
Railroads have been prevented from
putting rate increases into effect with
out the approval Of the interstate com
merce commission. While this legis-
lation was pending an effort was made
by certain trunk lines TO increase
rates. A temporary Injunction was
Immediately obtained by the attorney
general, and by agreement with the
railroad presidents they did not put
the increases into effect but waited
for the enactment Of the law. They
then applied TO the interstate com
merce commission for permission, un-
der the new law, to make the increase,
but their application was denied by
the commission. The railroads de-
nOunced the president and his attor-
ney general for the stand they took in
protecting the rights Of the shippers.
Other Reforms Accomplished.
The white slave trsfic has been
vigorously and effectively attacked,
and severe punishment has beer
meted out 70 those engaged IN the
nefarious business.
A bureau Of mines has been estsb-
lished. 50 ss to safeguard the lives OF
miners. President Taft personally at
tended q denomination Of the meth
DDS employed 70 rescue miners and
has done everything In his power 70
give efseiency to this new bureau
Another great social reform Ehich
President Taft advocated and Whieh

| haps to take well earned rest after
many years of close application to
| farm work which has yielded them a
competence, which their friends hope
they may live many years to enjoy

summer MAN swindIed.

Buffalo Express, July 27.-On the
charge Of swindling Philip II. Schlat-
ter of Sumner, Iowa, out of $4,000
Oh a fake race supposed to have been
run at TT. Erie last Thursday, Fran
els Walton and Joseph Davis, both
from New York, We're arrested. They
are being detained az. police head
Quarters. Chief Regaa mas asked the
bank at Sumner to stop payment on
the check.
Scllatter went to police headquar-
tiers last night and told his story to
Chief 2egal ana Inspector Taylor
He said he came here last Wednes-
day evening to see the falls. Coming
back from Niagara Fails on Thurs
day afternoon, he says ne met Wall
ton on the car and they became great
friends inside CT ten minutes. Thurs
day hight, according to Schlattar, he
ana Walton occupied q double sleep
ing room in the Broezel hotel. Be
fore they turned in, he states, Wal
ton and another man, now identified
as Davis, told him they could clean
up large sum OF money by placing
a bet of $4,000 on the fastest
horse that ever ran" The friends
.confided TO Schlaater that they had
100000, and needed only $4,000.
Schlatter says he drew a check for
that sum on his home bank. He also
says he was taken in a house on Del
aware avenue, not far from the Nc
kinley monument, where there were
telephones, racing charts, an operator
working ait a key and two clerks in
shirt sleeves. He handed over the
check there and the next day his
friends said there had been a mis-
take and that the horse had lost.
They were sorry, but then they also
had lost their all.
Detectives Murray and Kenelck
went out with the stranger and tried
to find the house in lower Delaware
avenue where the alleged swindle
took place. Schlatter could not find
the house, so the detectives returned
to the hotel and arrested the two
men.

FORD TO RETAIN DEALERS.
Report that Ford Automobiles Will
he Solo Erect at $500 is
Untrue


The following letter TO W. Fl Buck
nell, local Ford agent, respecting the
report that Ford automobiles will
be sold direct next year is self-ex-
planatory:
Mn Walter BuckneI,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
We understand there is a report
being circulated in your territory
ha Ford cars VIII be rsduCed in
price August 1at end that he Ford
Motor Company intends to sell cars
direct to the consumer.
Wherever we have investigated
this report. we have found it has
generally been started by our compet-
itor2 The Ford Motor Company has
been working light years TO build up
an organization of thirty-flve hundred
dealers, thirty-five branches and -
assembling plants, for the sale of
Ford cars, and Ford service to Ford
owners.
AS you know every Ford dealer is
under contract to carry complete
assortment of parts, maintain a ga
age anu give every fOru owner
prompt and courteous treatment You
can readily appreciate what an I'M
wise move it would be to overthrow
all the work they have been success
full in accomplishing in the past eight
years.
There is absolutely no truth in the
report that Ford cars will be sold di-
rect to the consumer next season,
neither is there any grounds for the
report that Ford cars will retail at
$500 after August 1st.
The Ford Motor Company does
not anticipate any change in the price
at the present time, neither is there
likely to be any change from the
present price this season. Why any
one should think that the Ford Mo-
tor Company will reduce the price to
$500 after August LIST, when it will
probably take them from the first or
the middle of September before they
can supply cars for present orders,
is more than we can understand
Yours very truly,
Herring Motor Car Co.

ket value is estimated to be $500.

Goes Insane Over His Defeat.

Perry, Iowa, July 29.-Roy King,
young man about twenty-five years of
age, who formerly lived on a farm
south of this city, is violently insane,
and it has been necessary to send
him to hospital for treatment. Mr..
King left here several years ago and
located on ranch near Mitchell, S.
ID. He was one of the most popular
men in the neighborhood, and was a
candidate for county treasurer at the
recent primaries. He was defeated
for the nomination and brooding over
the fact caused him to lose his reas-
on.
The young mans father, l.. w.
King, went to Mitchell last week, and
jumped through a window of the car
in which he was riding and although
the train was running rapidly he was
unhurt, and succeeded in eluding his
friends for several hours.

Farmer Never Owned Implement.

Pipestone, Mimi, July 29.-The at
tention of the authorities has been
directed to Anton Leopold and his
son, who reside near Dundee, a small
town east of here. Leopold and his
son, who is deaf mute, have been
living on a small tract of land for
the past forty years and all the work
that has been accomplished on their
farm has been done without the aid
of horse. The occupants have SUBJ
sisted on grain seeded, harvested and
threshed by hand and have made
their home in a small dugout. The
younger Leopold, now 40 years of
age, has been committed TO the de-
tention hospital at st. Peter. When
taken in charge by the authorities a
few days ago it was found necessary
to provide him with clothes before
he could be taken to st. Peter, as he
had no wearing apparel. During the
forty years of his life he had never
felt the touch of a razor to his face
or shears TO his hair. A straw hat
which he wore was woven by hand
and it is said that the numerous
small wagons and other implements
used about the farm were made by
the man. The elder Leopold will be
taken care of by his neighbors, as
he is becoming feeble in his old age.

young birds he removed them and
placed nests and birds in cage. All
went we'll until one of the deputy
game wardens came along and in
formed Gettestness that it is against
the law of the state to imprison wild
song birds. The young man appear
ed before a magistrate and was as
sessed a fine of $40 and costs of
