felt that the voters of the third party
were not in favor of monopoly.
therefore chose to take its most ac-
tive and prominent leaders, Mr. Bev-
fridge and yourself, and judge some
what of the situation by your views.
But you say you are not in favor
of monopoly. ! feel bound to accept
your statement as to your present
state of mind but as you insist that
the charge was false and made ma
liciously, | beg to state some of the
reasons which seem to have led to
what you regard as an erroneous con-
clusion. Appearances are sometimes
deceiving, but not having the privi-
lege of a closer personal acquaintance
| was obliged to state my views from
what appeared to an observer.
A Shameless Monopoly
In the first place, your letter an
swers itself very largely. Immediate
ly after denying that you belive in
monopoly you enter upon most Wig
orous defense of one of the most I'M
considerable and STAINLESS monopolies
we have ever had in this country
the harvester trust. You and
and thousands with me simply differ
as to what constitutes a monopoly.
This combination, which as I under
stand you organized and which was
intended to and did sufficiently con-
troll this industry and dominate it,
and out of which you took, as | am
informed, between five and seven mil
lions of dollars, was a monopoly and
intended to be monopoly. If am
mistaken about the amount which you
took out you will please advise me
and | will correct the figures. But if
you did take out that amount, who
paid ultimately the farmers of
this country. And how were you able
to make them pay you between five
and seven fillion dollars for what
you did? Simply through the power
of a cruel and brutal monopoly. A
scheme or plan by which one man
can impose upon great multitude of
people of this country the burden of
great fortune is a monopoly. You
do not think so. Well, that is quite
natural for you got the five millions.
But if you had been one of those who
were compelled to pay it do you not
think that your altruistic mind would
have been able to grasp the other side
of this question?
There was another characteristic
of this combination which indicated
that it had monopolistic tendencies to
say the least-theinhuman way in
which it worked and treated it's en-
ployees. The perfectly repulsive
scenes which those who visited it's
works were permitted to witness
would cause one to wonder where its
chief financial hacker and most pow
erful director deposited his altruistic
impulses and his unspeakable emo
lions for humanity in general when
he visited his plant. The state Fac
tory Investigating committee of New
York investigated the condition of
the employees in this plant and I
have their report before me. This in
vestigation shows that the women re-
ceived only five and seven dollars per
week. The girls did their work by
piece work and had to work overtime
in order to get enough to keep soul
and body together. The custom of
working women at night was a per-
manent custom. One woman who had
several children testified that she
could not work during the day be-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
When George w. Perkins, nestor of
the bull moose party, took OCCASION
yesterday to attack Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho, for the latter's
speech at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday,
he invited q controversy which is
likely to emphasize the chasm that d.
vides the progressive republicans
from the third party.
For some time past Senator Borah,
one of Roosevlet's most active sup
porters in the pre-convention fight at
Chicago, has been the principal at
traction at the republican get to-
gether dinners and meetings. He has
been friendly to Colonel Roosevelt,
and has made no secret of his desire
to have the colonel accept the repub-
lican nomination in 1916. But be-
cause the senator from Idaho has not
subscribed to the third party move
ment, and has objected to killing the
republican party, he has been at
tackled numerically by the bull
moose leaders.
The senator turned on his assailant
at Columbus, criticizing especially
former Senator Beverage and George
w. Perkins. Mr.. Perkins resented
the references to himself, in a letter
addressed to Senator Borah, viii h
the senator read in some of the east
ern newspapers yesterday. In caus-
tic reply of about 1000 words, Sena-
tor Borah pays his compliments to
Mr.. Perkins, and what he conceives
to be the latter's attitude toward
monopoly. il.
Incidently, Senator Borah refers
to Mr.. Perkins connection with the
International Harvester company,
which he denounces as "the most I'M
considerable and STAINLESS monop-
oily" and which he suggests that Mr..
Perkins organized and says it was
intended to and did sufficiently con-
troll this industry and dominate it,
and out of which you took, as l am
informed, between 100000 and
$1,000, 900"
Repentance After Harvest
Senator Borah made this reioiner
to Mr.. Perkins disclaimer that he
was defending monopoly. The sena-
tor passes out the following to the
bull moose leader:
II have just read your letter and
I regret to have come under your dis
pleasure. 1t was not my purpose to
misrepresent you and I had not sup
posed ntil I received your letter that
I had done so. I do not deny at all
the efficacy of that philosophy which
permits men to practice one thing
during the greater portion of their
lives and after gathering all the fruits
that such a practice may bring-re-
pent. But I have always believed
that restitution ought to be to some
extent a characteristic or an accom-
paniment of these death-bed repent

attitude of the third party on the
question of monopoly. In the first

to be good authority that an accident
happened to one plank of its monop-
oily platform between the time the
platform left the convention hall and
the time it reached the telegraph Of

face of this most unexpected accident
that the platform was full and COM

ACCOUNTING APPROVED
 BY JUDGE FULLER
Quarterly Report of har,haI Erwin Shows Expsnditurss of Fourth oivson te
 Have Bs>n $s4,ii4ss

The second quarterly report of United States MarshL L. T. Erwin has been form ally approved by Judge Fuller according to the Fairbanks News Miner. The report shows that the sum of $94,ll466 has been expended in the Fourth division, although when all hes been accounted for the amount will reach much larger figure, ss eight of the outlying offices of the marshal have not yet been heard from. A supplemental report will therefore be necessary.
 The eight offices not yet heard from are Iditarod, Flat, Ophir. Koyukuk, Ruby, Eagle, Nulato and Kuskokwim. The money has been expended by the government in salary, fees and expenses of marshals, fees of jurors, fees of witnesses, support of pris' oners, pay of bailiffs and guards, rent of outlying marshals' offices, expense of dis trict attorneys offices, etc. It does not in- clude the salaries of the several officials, s they are paid direct from Washington.
 Statistics show that the amount of money expended by the government in the Fourth judicial division is second only to that in tn division which includes the city of Greater New York. The last record, that of 1912, shows that in the latter division little more than the sum of $260, 900 was expended in the fiscal year, while in Fair banks, as the headquarters of the Fourth division, the sum expended was . little more than &23O,0O0. The division of North. ern Illinois, which includes Chicago, comes third.
 The accounting of the sum which has just been approved by the judge is for money expended by the government be- tween October and January l. All of tho money comes through the regular chan nels from Washington, and is benefit to tho country generally and to Fairbanks in particular, in that all of it is distributed here, while great deal of it remains and Is spent here. Therefore, as stated by a government official, the expenditure of large sums of money to witnesses, jurors and others. in the outlying districts is not a 'detriment to the town, but benefit.
