The Rioht. Of Childhood.

Children have right to play; they
have right to be supported without
working; they have right to educa-
ton and preparation for life. These
rights are too obvious for discussion,
and yet there is not state In the Un-
Ion that effectively defends them.

Atty. Chas. Johnson followed with
a ringing speech in the honored and
heroic language of the Northland, but
closed in the language of this country
with plea for good citizenship.
County Supt. w. D. Frederickson
spoke as an old friend of Mr.. Flann,
and paid him fine compliment. Trou-
bles he has experienced have only
served to bring out the good mettle
of his life.
Samuel Nelson sang solo, "On-
ward Christian Soldiers" and was fol-
lowed by County Attorney Bitterness
who spoke on true success in life.
H. J. Ramsett was introduced "as
the man you must see If you want to
get married" and made a congratula-
tory speech. He was followed by
Hon. N. O. Nelson and Mr.. A. o. Mel
son. The chairman, Mr.. Ole E. Err
ickson, then explained a certain story
which Gov. Rice had sprung about
him, telling how he got into trouble
while a boy at school in Mockfjard.
H. And. Lobnitz spoke and said he
was "glad to live to see the day" that
his old friend, Mr.. Flann was given
some of the recognition he deserved.
He told of Mr.. Flann's unself1sh ef-
forts for the community, his innate
modesty, his good common sense, his
store of knowledge, not acquired in
any school but that Of experience.
Rev. Hojum, the pastor, then paid
tribute to Mr.. and Mrs. Flann as
par1sh1oners, and closed with a prayer
invoking the blessings of God on the
occasion.
Mr.. Flann was almost overcome by
his emotions and at the close thanked
all the friends for their kindness
shown. He said he would be remind
ed OF the occasion every time he look
ed at the watch given him.
Ice cream and cake was served to
those present, and q photographer

Thereupon Judge G. E. Qvale was
called and made a neat speech in
which he extended his congratula-
tions and paid tribute to Mr.. Flann
as a peace-maker, one who would use
his influence to settle disputes and
discourage people from going to law.
Hon. P. A. Gandrud, of Sunburg,
who had come forty-five miles to be
present, was the next speaker. He
was glad to be present and partici-

STATE ITEMS
OF INTEREST TO ALL NORTH
CAROLINA PEOPLE,.
Rates Effective Oct. 18th,

A further examination of the freight
state rates fixed by the special legis-
lative commission which go into ef-
feet on October 18th, unless contest
ed by the railways, and there doesn't
seem to be much probability in that
direction, are not great reductions as
appeared at first glance Taking the
actual commodities which are moved,
the reduction amounts to only about
two per cent, possibly not that much.
The Standard tariff in use in North
Carolina as was stated, is only about
two per cent on the average higher
than those fixed by the special COM
mission, possibly not that, except in
hauls over 270 miles in length. The
commission made good reductions
after reaching this limit, but when it
is taken into consideration that the
hauls of 270 miles and upward in this
state are very few, it will be seen
that the reductions will prove of very
little benefit to the people of the state.
The only road in the state affected
by these hau1s is the Southern. The
over estimate in the average reduc-
ton was the hurried consideration of
the rates on roads not using the
standard tariff. An investigation into
the rate on all the systems roads
shows that on the average their
charges were not so far from the
standard tariff

Ancon Made the Official Opening
Through Locks.
Panama-The Panama canal is
open to the commerce of the world
Henceforth ships may pass to and fro
through the great waterway which
establishes a new ocean highway for
trade.
The steamship Ancon, owned by the
United States War Department, with
many notable people on board, made
the official passage, which signalized
the canals opening. She left Cristo-
bal at Z o'clock in the morning and
reached Balbao on the Pacific end at
4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Ancon will remain at the Bal
bao docks for some time, discharging
her cargo, this being the first COM
mercial voyage made through the
canal
The canal will be used next for the
transfer of four cargo ships and a
yacht.
The Ancon's trip was the fastest yet
made by large ocean steamer. The
steamer went through the Gatun locks
in 20 minutes, a speed never before
equalled. The other lockages were
equally rapid.

COURT D|SSOLVES
HARVESTER TRUST
Federal Judges Declare Com
pany a Trade Monopoly
BREAKS UP IN NINETY DAYS
Majority Opinion Holds Concern
MonopoIy-ControIIed 80 Per Cent
of Trade-VioIated Sherman Law
Since Organization in 1902.

st. Paul, Minn-The International
Harvester Company was declared to
be a monopoly in restraint of inter
state and foreign trade, and was Or
,Gered dissolved in majority decision
by the United States District Court.
In a statement issued in Chicago
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president of the
company, says that an appeal will be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court
Unless the corporation submit q
plan for the dissolution of the COM
bination into at least three independ-
ent concerns within ninety days, or
in case of appeal within ninety days
of the issuance of an appeal mandate
from the United States Supreme
Court, the decision announces that
the court will entertain an applica-
ton for the appointment of receiv-
er for all the properties of the $140,-
100000 corporation.
In dissolving the corporation into
three Independent concerns Of about
equal size, the court orders that the
separate corporations shall not have
common stockholders.
The decision of the Court was given
by Circuit Judge Walter l. Smith, OF
Iowa, and was concurred in by Judge
William c. Hook, of Kansas. Judge
Walter A. Sanborn, of Minnesota.
filled dissenting opinion.
The majority opinion held that the
International Harvester Company was
from it's organization in 1902 in VIC
lation of the Sherman law. The
original corporation, formed of five
concerns, violated the first section Of
the Sherman act by restraining com
petition among themselves. The
combined organization also tended tt
mOnopolize trade in contravention OF
| the second section of this law.
The decision declares that while
! the International Harvester Company
and its selling organization, in In
ternational Harvester Company o
America, control from 80 to IS pc
cent. of the trade in agricultural i'm
plements manufactured by them, thei
treatment Of smaller competitors il
general has been fair and just.
The Court finds fault with the &C
tons of the corporation, aside fror
the technical violation of the Shel
man law, for only two actions. TIL
opinion declares that there was n,
excuse for the advertising Of tn
products of D. NJ Osborne & Con-
pany as independent for two year
after it had virtually entered tn
International Harvester Company
This advertising was to induce pul
chases, the Court finds, from thos
who were opposed to buying from tn
combination.
The other act censured by the d.
cision was the manner in which tn
five original concerns were turne
over to the International Company b
William G. Lane, a New York banl
er, who contended that he had pu
chased the properties.
