ed away and did not notice his foes
entrance.
How Barnes grip on the Repub-
ican machine was inherited from
Senator Platt, strengthened and used,
was recounted by the former COVER
nor and president.
Resuming his testimony in defense
of Barnes libel suit, Roosevelt recited
conversations and produced letters
picturing Barnes as the omnipotent
Republican boss in New York state.
He told. how Barnes worked with
Tammany Democrats to defeat legis-
lation at Albany.
With resounding smacks of his
palm, first and fingers on his arm
chair, Roosevelt showed his teeth and
shot out his indictment of Barnes the
boss.
Barnes sat unmoved during
Roosevelt's onslaught. i
The colonel said Barnes bitterly
opposed Mr.. Hughes denomination
and said the machine wouldn't "tol-
crate" it. ,.
How Barnes upheld necessity of
bosses in party government" was
ridiculed by Roosevelt. He intro
duced a letter from Barnes saying:
''The idea of getting rid of bosses
is absurd so long as we have party
organization. The people do the
electing, but the party should be free
to frame up their proposals to the
people in their own way" Roose-
welt said Barnes bitterly opposed the
direct primary plan.

A. p. ABRoGATEs NEWS BYLAW

New York, April 21.-At its annual
meeting, now in progress here, the
Associated Press, acting upon the de-
mand of the attorney general, abro-
gated the bylaw which forbade mem
bers from taking the report of any
other news service. In his state
ment on the complaint of the New
York Sun, the attorney general, re-
ferring to this bylaw, said:
"My conclusion is that this bylaw,
whether it is enforced or not should
be abrogated."
The bylaw, which was promptly
killed at the annual meeting, read in
part as follows:
"S" the board of directors may,
in their discretion, forbid members to
purchase intelligence from any other
association"

wELLEs.THOMPsON COMPANY
MAKES ANOTHER CHANGE

!. An important change occurs this
week in the business firms of Oakes.
The Wcllcs-Thompson lumber yard
has been taken over by new organ
ization in the lumber world, which
will be known as Thompson Yards,
Inc. The announcement of this change
is made in the advertising columns
and the inventory is now being taken
by representatives of both cd and
new companies. So far as we are in
formed Mr.. E. II. Pfeninger will re-
main in charge of the new company's
business in Oakes.
The Wel'es-Thompson Company en-
tered the retail business in North Da-
kota about year ago, with many
new ideas in regard to retailing lum-
ber. Mr.. Thompson, who had made
close study of the old methods of SELL
ing lumber, was convinced that there
was a new and better way of getting
it direct from the tree to the consum-
er. The company has been very sue
cessful, and the new company is said
to be the direct result of the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Thompson's policies.
The Weyerhaeusers are recognized as
the largest timber owners in the
world. 1t has been said that they
were not at all satisfied with the old
method of selling lumber. They be-
lieved that as long as they had been
abe to reduce the cost of manufac-
turing to the lowest point, that the
consumer should not be taxed with
intervening profits that did not in
crease the value of the lumber, and
only served to decrease the demand.
Now that the Weyerhaeuser inter-
ests have Joined the Thompson inter-
ests, and have come to Oakes, we ex-
pect to see a great impetus given to
building activities. The concern is
fully equipped with timber lands, saw
mills and capital, and believe in boost
