HARVESTER co.
A MONOPOLY
Continued from first page.l


vised statutes bars prosecution under
these acts for such violation three years
after thay are committed. If, there
fore, a combination or monopoly was
made in 1902, 1908 or 1904, the pro
ceedings to punish was barred many
years before this suit was commenced.
1.-THE evidence adduced in this ease
not only fails to show that the defend,
ants were unreasonably restraining OF
attempting to monopolize interstate OF
foreign trade, or threatening to do SC
at the time this suit was commenced
and for seven years before that time
but they establish the converse"
Judge Sanborn points out that the
antitrust law is resurrection of the
ancient English rule Of public policy,
He insists that it does not forbid all
restraint or restrictions of competition,
but only those which are unreasonably
injurious to the public. He goes on;
"The facts recited seem to me to es-
tabllsh the conclusion that during the
10 years of the operation of the Inter
national Harvester Co., neither it nor
the defendants were, nor are they, draw
ing to it its competitors share of the
interstate trade in harvesting machin-
cry or excluding them therefrom, but
that on the other hand the information
al company's proportion of this trade
has been decreasing and that of its COM
petitors increasing.
"The weight of the evidence of the
officers and agents of the defendants
competitors, who came in large numbers
to testify, was overwhelming that the
almost universal practice of the defend
ants was and is free from all methods
and acts either unlawful, unfair or OPP
pressive toward their competitors.
Their prices to the consumers re-
manned nearly stationary and increased
far less than the prices of other agri-
cultural machinery the trade in which
was not claimed to have been restrained
or monopolized.
"Ihe only reason for the restraint or
prevention of the defendants in suit
under the statute is that they are or
threaten to be unduly injurious to the
public. If they are not thus injurious,
or if they are beneficial and restraint or
prevention of their acts would be in
furious to the public, they should not be
restrained or prevented"
In concluding, Judge Sanborn said that
to him the suit seemed to present new
case under the antitrust law.
Neither the Standard Oil Co. case
nor the American Tobacco Co. case, nor
any other authority cited seem to me
to rule this case" he said, because in
none of them was there such conclusive
evidence that for years before the suits
were commenced the defendants had
practieed no acts constituting an undue
restraint of trade or unreasonable at
tempt to monopolize it.

Senator LaFOllette a Great Mimic.

Ray Stannard Baker. writing in the
August American Magazine, gives the
following picture of Senator LaFol-
lette at home:
III you happen TO think of Senator
LaFollette as a peculiarly serious-mind-
ed statesman, | wish YOU could hear him
read a humorous Irish story. The gath
erings he loves best are those in his
own library after dinner, with close
friends and plenty OF young people round
about. A story starts, and in no time
at all the room is in a gale OF laughter.
Someone asks:
Senator, read us one of Herminie
TempIeton's Irish stories Herminie
Templeton, whether you know it or not,
has written some Of the most charming
humorous Irish folk tales in the Ian
guage. Someone goes to the bookshelves
and brings out green-bound volume,
and the senator, sitting low in his chair
under the reading light. begins the tale
of Darby Gill and the Good People
The senator possesses a rare gift OF
mnnicry and can turn Irishman or Ger

actly right. A. he reads along. there
come first little ripples OF laughter and
then louder and lauder ones, until final

rlment. And that's what the senator

Germany's Mistakes.

For popular passions there is no ac'
counting. No one may know precisely
why, but beyond all doubt the senti'
ment OF America is against Germany
even more strongly than it was against
Russia ten years ago. Shall we say as
mistakenly adverse? Our German citi-
zcns have been outspokenly indignant at
this unexpected hostility, and full OF
protest against its unfairness. On
another page Professor Richard of
Columbia university joins with the Ger
manic professors of Harvard, who have
already voiced an amazement which Pro
fessor Richard SAYS is common to every
one OF several millions OF his eompatri-
OTIS in our citizen body. Their united
charge against Americans is that they
have Judged too hurriedly and harshly
on too slight knowledge OF the facts.
But Professor Richard goes step far
Their TO plea for fair play and sus-
pending of judgment till the truth about
Germany's part in this war is known,
he adds a threat. Germany, he says,
will be slow TO forgive US for this, IN the
ultimate victory of which she IS as
sured. In this very attitude Professor
Richard throws a ray of light on the
mystery of the anti-German feeling on
this side of the Atlantic. He demands
fair play at the point of the pistol.
Neither in the declaration of German
policy nor in its defense have the man
ner of German diplomacy or the man
ners of Germany's diplomats and defend
ers proved helpful TO their cause. Popu-
lar neutrality much less popular sympa
thy cannot be forced by threats Of re-
prisal. The tone of the German pro-
fessors defence is too much the tone of
German ultimatums And how poorly
German diplomats have misunderstood
public opinion in the countries to which
they are accredited. Germany counted
upon Belgium's acquiescenee, Great Brit
ian's neutrality and above all the sup
port OF her ally, Italy. The failure OF
each to materialize places upon German
arms tremendous additional burden
that may decide the issue. Ii they will
ponder over these failures OF their own
to sense the prevailing
opinion of other nations Germany's de-
Tenders may be able yet to recognize the
real underlying reasons for the i'm.
patience with which even the neutral
United States views those phases of
German Diplomacy which to-day seem
to be responsible in part for the war.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE
STAR

The bright Star of Hope in a
recent issue wrinkles thusly:
The opposition to the removal
of the court house from Wash
ington to Hope is credited with
the story that the five thousand
dollars that was paid into the
treasury by the petitioners
would exempt Hope from fur
ther taxation " This is about in
line with other reports the advo-
Gates of removal put ont them
selves and then go round aud get
the Star to deny. and the Star is
weak enough in the upper story
to undertake the job. 1t may be
that the Star gets the removal
bunch to put out the reports IN
order that it may have some
thing to write about, having no
reason for removal except that
Hope is the largest town in the
county and wants the court
house.
In another twinkling the Star
says: They say tide Hope bunch
would graft" Who said the Hope
bunch would graft? Who has
ever said they would even get a
chance to graft? No one but the
Star. Twinkling again the Star
says: Funny indeed that Hope
would, if she could, pay enor-
nous sums for the removal and
then turn round and graft on
the funds, a good part of which is
coming out of their own pock-
cts" Now, wasn't that a bright
suggestion of the Stars. Some
one might suggest that they
would graft to get the money
back with interest. No trouble
to explain that. But we would
like to know to whom they are
paying those large sums of
money for removal? Better be
careful, Mr.. Star man, or you
will get another layoff.
Twinkle, twinkle little Star.
We've often wondered where you
were.
Do you get any of the pie
That's handed round as you pass
by?
The way you show your little light
And twinkle, twinkle is a sight.

EIFFEL TOWER ON STAMPS.

The French postal authorities are
considering the issue of a series Of
stamps with a new design. Instead
of Roty's familiar "sower," tie new
stamps will have a picture of the
Eiffel tower with an aeroplane flying
over it. The reason for this change
is that the stamp is very easily
copied by forgers. The proposed
new design is meeting with much
criticism. 1t is said that if the gov
ernment must supersede Roty's
graceful figure it might be some
thing more pleasing than the Eiffel
tower.

BLEVINS A COMING TOWN

There was a sale of lots and
blocks in Blevins Tuesday, con
Quoted by Messrs. Smith and
Hays of Springfield. Tennessee,
who had purchased 81 acres of
land which was laid outin town
and residence lots.
The sale was attended by be-
tween 1900 and 1900 people from
all over the county and from the
surrounding counties. Every lot
was SOLD at auction to tho highest
bidderandallb drought goodprices.
One lot was given away and that
was drawn by Adlie Smith, son of
u. T. Smith, and $4,000. in gold
was also given away.
There was a barbecue free
and lemonade by the barrel for
all who wanted it, and a couple of
baseball games to entrtain the
crowd. Every one present had
a good time and enjoyed the day.
The people who purchased
these lots will become citizens
of the place, and some of them
will commence building Monday.
Blevins is growing rapidly and
the country around it is building
up. 1t is a splendid business
point. backed by a fine country,
and it is safe to say has a bright
future.
Thelands in touch with Blevins
are strictly adapted to truck
growing and fruit. and the
farmer can have something on
the market at all seasons of the
year, from radish in the early
spring TO cotton in the fall. They
don't have to depend on any one
crop. Radishes have been found
to be a paying crop, straw berries
are extra fine, cantaloupes are
shipped by the car loads, peaches
and other fruits can be grown as
good as any where in the coutry.
All the country from Blevins
through the north part of the
county is fine for fruit and truck
and is developing rapidly, and
hundreds of acres of these crops
are being grown every year,
making a happy and prosperous
people.

NEW IDEA SEEMS GOOD ONE
Various Forms Of Insurance Might
Tend to Lessen the Horrors Of
the Modern Picnic.

Over in England new form of
insurance has been devised. Per-
sons intending to go on holiday trips
may take out policies indemnifying
them against loss or damage or dis
appointment due to rainy, stormy or
unpleasant weather. Novel idea,
isn't it? In this country no such
insurance is yet obtainable- be-
fore long tie idea may be imported
and improved. There may be a spe-
cial policy devised, for instance, for
picnickers to indemnify them for the
pies used as cushions, for the discom-
forts of anthills as headrests when
sprawling on the more or less green
sward and for the consequences of
using a chaplet of poison ivy leaves
instead of the laurel of renown. Or
a policy may be gotten up to insure
the holder against the sudden deci-
sion of the boss that the holiday
must be postponed so that he may
himself go to the ball game-or to
pay the doctor for attending little
Johnny for injuries and pains re-
sulting from raiding the green-apple
supply in the farmers orchard-or
the like. And when this form of in
surance is general and popularized
some of the drawbacks to picnicking
and holidaying will be more or less
quashed, won't they2
