WHITAcRE RETIRES.

Congressman John J. Whitacre OF
Youngstown announces that he viii
retire at the end OF his present term.
and thereafter eschew the game of
politics. Congressman Whitacre de-
clares that no self-respectlng and in
dependent man can afford TO remain
in the House OF Representatives. and
in particular. no such man can afford
to play politics in the State OF Ohio
as a member OF the Cox Democratic
machine. Whitacre has been an IN
dependent Democrat. and ever since
his entrance in the Congressional
arena has been a sort OF frebrand Of
the Democratic party. In 1912 he
baked on the Presidential candidacy
Of Governor Harmon and took the
initiative i'm the fight for Wilson.
The Cox machine naturally has not
much use for whitacre. and Whitacre
hasn't much use for II.

MANUFACTURERS PRICES.

The Supreme Court OF the State or
Washington has rendered an opinion
TO the effect that a manufacturer can
fix the price at which his product is
TO be sold and a wholesaler or re-
taller cannot lower that price. The
case came before the supreme court
In the suit 81 a manufacturer for dari-
ages and to restrain the retailer frorl
selling a manufactured article below
the established figure. Heretofore
courts have been inclined TO hold that
manufacturers cannot arbitrarily fix
and enforce prices. The Washingts-
court takes the view that such efforts
on the part OF the manufacturer is
not Illegal and not in restraint of
competition. Competition may exist
in quality as well as in price. and the
manufacturer who seeks to give to
the public high grade article al an
established price is performing a pub
lie service, quite as much as the
dealer who for his own purpose seeks
to lower the established price.
The decision OF the Washington
court seems to be both sensible and
fair. IL may be clearly to the advan-
tage Of a manufacturer to fix an es-
tablished price on his goods and 10
insist upon the maintenance OF that
price. The purchaser OF the goods
may be required 10 sign a contract
to maintain IT. II the article is OF
high quality and that quality is con-
stantly kept up. the public may be
benefited by the Improvement. a bene-
mt which will not be possible il prices
are cut unfortunately.

NEW NEWS OF yesterday

By e j. Edwards

In the early seventies I was asso-
ciated with my brother. Jacob ID. Cox.
who was az one time governor OF Ohio
and al another q member 81 the first
cabinet OF President Grant Ny bust
ness frequently took me into Detroit.
Our railroad had a terminal at De
,roit and we were planning an exten-
sion OF IL across Canada 10 Niagara
Falls"
In this way the late Charles Finney
Cox. who for years vas the treasurer
OF the lines OF the Vanderbilt systems
OF railroads west OF Buffalo. began
the narration TO me OF his hrst knowl-
edge OF Captain Eber y. Ward. OF
Detroit. who at his death. in 1875.
left an estate valued AZ nearly 81. OO0.-
goo. He was the father OF Clara
Ward, who gained international noto-
riety as the wife OF Prince de Chimay.

Captain Ward" said Mr. Cox. "He
was a POOR boy and he began life on
n little vessel which sailed through
the lakes. lie was not content 10 be
a mere sailor himself. so ne gradually
accumulated money enough TO buy a
sloOp. and then as he made money he
added 70 his feet. until az last he
was recognized all through the West
as the greatest and most influential
owner and manager OF shipping that
sailed through the great lakes.
Il was told that Just about the
close OF the Civil War Captain Ward
suddenly abandoned his steamboat
Great Lakes and turned his attention
10 the manufacture OF Bessemer steel
lie was so successful that he estab-
lished mills at Chicago. and he
actually made the first steel rails
which we're ever produced in the
United States.
Captain Ward changed suddenly
and absolutely from his position as a
master OF navigation through the
Great Lakes TO that OF a manufac-
turer OF steel. and especially OF steel
rails

ciated with-the Vanderbilts in their

bility OF steam as a motive power for

as were Captain Wards first invest

Great Lakes
Then Commodore Vandarhu,
bought and built more steamboats,.
exactly as Captain Ward did and az
about the same time At last the
commodore was recognized as the
steam boat king of the East sud

that Captain Ward abandoned his

Fulton OF Oregon secured an amend

states. This meant retaining some
sixteen million OF acres TO be eN-

representatives OF the great special
