miFslon of aets which are declared to
be crimes by the Htatute. He would

lo other malefactors and as protec-
tion to oH*t> Section 1 of the Sher
man law provides:
''Every contract, combin iti< n in th
form of trust or otherwise, a conspira-
cy In restraint of trade or commerce
among t'e several states, or with f« r-
eiKn nations, h hereby declared to he
Illegal. Every person who shall make

and on conviction thereof, shall be
punished bv a fine not exec ding five
thousand ($5,000) dollars, or by im-
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
by both said punishments, in the dl
cretlon of the courts."
And section 2 is equally applicable
It r'ads:
'Every person who shall monopo-
lie or attempt to monopolize, or com-
bine or conspire wtlh any per-on or
persons, to monopolize any part of t «•
trade of commerce among the seveial

and on conviction thereof, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding five
thousand ($5,000) dollars or by Impris-
onment not exceeding one year, or by
both said punishments in the discre-
tion of the court."
Now, "guilt Is personal." This Is a
statement of the general law ho ele.ti
and specific that the quotations are
justified. A corporation cannot he put
in Jail; neither can a trust, which is
a combination of corporations. But
Its directors can. The men who ar<-
responsible for Wreaking the law, the
men who direct the operations of
the trust and shape Its policy, can be
ascertained. They, under the She
man statute, can be placed behln l
prison bars Ar these personages
so sacred, do they wield so much pow
er, exert such great Influence, that
their crime as defined by statute, a
crime w hich directly robs the people
of the United States of uncounted
millions annually shall be immune
from punishment while the comnu n
petty pillfer is sent down at the
drop of the hat? Is It sufficient pun
ishment for deliberately pillaging the
entire American public lo decree a
dissolution of the trusts, that they
may try again, as they undoubtedly
will, to circumvent the law by a new
scheme of operation, or should the
men who are responsible for the crlm.
be made to suffer the penalty which
the law attaches to their personal
guilt?
•'measures. not men."
In his letter to William K. Hitter
of Wllliainsport, who represent the
DeWalt-Guffey-Donnelly-Ryan ganj-,
supplanted at the meeting of reorgan
l/.o the Democratic party of Penn-yl
vanla, e\ Mayor Outline or Pittsburg,
says:
Do you not know that the assump-
tion by one or more men of the rUht
to dictate to the party officers, poll-
el, an c andidates Is bitterly resent-
, j n h. Demociats of this state, and
thai they will no longer follow the
.,artv when i action is so .ovchtall-
ous ol his fame and gets cranky when
questioned although he gives all a
cordial invitation to a-k questions.
Mr. King Is evidently stuck on him-
self, and he has a right to be, because
he has proven that the King Mat log
drag will make good roads and there
i« no use trying to deny that fact.
The philosophy of Mr. King U so
simple and yet so logical are his con
elusions based upon human experi-
ence, that his hearers are really cred-
ulous about their own conception of
good road building. His illustration,
by the ordinary *'hog wallow," wner •
the puddle of water remains when all
about Is dry. It Is because the hog
has made a p* rfect cement bottom to
the wallow that Is water proof. And
that is what the drag does lo the
public road.
\o matter what the nature of the
soil, the eeincnt i1^ easily made just a.
ter a shower, and while the • arth Is
damp hut not sticky. Ju-t an ordinary
split log, 110 matter whet er straight
or crooked, dragged over the road, be-
ginning "t the outside and slowly ap-
proaching the center cne end of th
log in advance of the other, drawn
over the road after every rain, in a
year or two makes a jierfect cement
road where the cement will be from
four to ten Inches and as hard a< a
rock, and perfectly water proof. Till 4
fact he says he has demonstrated on
ills world famed half mile of road at
his farm In Missouri. He would not
plow or scrape any road, because, to
do the work properly the foundation
must be solid, and plowing spoils tlu
whole business by softening the foun-
dation. He rode his drag to town just
after a rain one day and there was a
ifig mud hole between two hills, and
water was there from fence to fence
He went across on one side, bacl:
across on the other, next to the
fences and he did that several times
until he had dragged the whole sur
face. A few hours later he went home
and the water was all gone from the
road ti< the fields on either side and
there has never been a mud ho*
there since, because after every rain
that place In the road has been drag-
ged and the cement bottom, formed
by the log drag has made a perfectly
solid macadam there and when u
rains the water runs toward the side
because It can't get through any more
than It can at the hog wallow. He has
demonstrated his theory over hill and
dale, in all kinds of soil, and whete
there Is sand alone, just a sprinkling
of clay or black loam over the t ip will
make the cement just as good as else-
where. In Iowa there are hundreds of
miles of this sort of road, one from
Dubuque to Sioux City. The lecture
was a good one, with plenty of food
for thought. There ought to have
been a large audience present and es-
pecially of the farmers, yes, and the
merchants. He asked the question:
"What would it mean to the mer-
chants of El Reno it a perfect cement
road reached ten or twenty miles in
every direction, and what would 11
mean to the farmer*?'" Yet be says
it can be built without in noy. Just a
a little work alter each rain by every
persMi along the line.
Think about ti It Is worth your
while. He has demonstrated it enn
be.

We wnil over tn Piedmont Con-
dm'or 8peer's flyer Saturday after-
nuor. and we had iiist a in.lv : od
utne with Ihe jollie-t crnwi of good
fr end* t'er there thnt ever nyhoJy
had. Everybody seemed lo he In lown
and everybody seemed glad u> run up
against lis and shake hands and swap
a few stories about the nice ra'ns and
the great harvest, and the floods, in
prospect, some other day. Heilly It
did rain up there Saturday at 5 o'clock
p. m, and west and north of thc.e it
rained hard, very hard, l.et's see, we
found Doctors J. E. and N. E, Huh',
M. Yowell, "Dad" Parker, "Butch"
Herder, all the boys and girls at the
Mulvey store, and John Polk "Soot-
ty", "lkey" .Ed and Ernest at Ihe
bank, Charley at the postofflce, Ed-
minston, Bennett, and all the good
women up there, and, really they are
all happy, and their handshake an in-
spiration. Of course the drouth has
struck there and the nut look is not
what H always has been heretofore,
and yet, if sufficient rains descend
this fall they will have feed for the
stock nd therefore will pull through in
fair shape. Thev deserve bett
things, however, because they are an
industrious people and have builded
up a splendid civilization and their
homes are elegant anil happy. The
Owl was not In Besslon, at least not
while we were at ''Dad's." Mr. Yow
ell hitched up Dobbin and Miss May
drove us out to the farm and we Just
struck It rich out there. Mrs. Step-
hens had a nice freezer full of th?
best home made Ice cream that ever
tempted the lover of sweetness and
you know what an Oklahoma hous
wife ran do In the ice cream makin?
business. It was CREAM, all right,
and the best ever, and we looked at
the p'gs round about and they were
little beauties, fat, frolielcsome and we
saw no signs of starvation around that
habitation.
We always have a good time at
Piedmont and love to be with the peo-
ple or that vicinity. They are big
hearted, whole souled, earnest friends
and we love thein.

Iih che plain, unvarnished truth,
and the Democracy of the at at • ol
Pennsylvania realises Its import. This
was shown by the organization ot tae
Keystone party last year and th tre-
mendous vote it polled with William
H Berry, a sterling and Independent
Democrat, at Its head. The Democrats
of Pennsylvania are tired of the dom-
ination of one man or a set ol men.
The Keystone movement showed that
the decent Republicans of th state
are leaning that way also.
What Is true of Pennsylvania Is true
ti" other boss ridden states. It was*
demon*-tinted In New York . t the Inst

Roosevelt went down before a protest

As Wood row Wilson recently said,
the present trend of politics is more
for measures than for men. T'10 vo1
era are asserting their Independence.
They are breaking away from dicta
tlon and seeking the betterment of
public conditions irrespective of the
wishes or the assumption of dictation
from the tools of the men 'higher

NEWSPAPER MAN IS INVOLVED
San Antonio, Tex.—William L
Dunne, newspaper man recently Im-
prisoned in Monterey, .Mexico, for al-
leged complicity in a plot to murder
(leneral Francisco 1 Madero, gave ti
Dutch lunch last night to the mem-
bers of the Press club of this city, the
organization which took so much in
terest in Dunne's behalf and sent a
direct communication to Madero re-
questing Dunne's release. Whih
Dunne is a newspaper man and had
been connected with a paper in this
city, for the past year he has been in
Mexico near Eagle Pass, Texas, int. r
ested in exploiting a land proposition
He maintains that he was traveling in
the interests of this when arrested
and imprisoned at Monterey. Upon
the other hand, the Mexican attorn
who will prosecute the case agaln-Jt
Dunne at E?' Paso, where indictments
were recently returned, declares that
he has unearthed a secret code whlcfi
Dunne and his co-conspirators used
in communicating one with the other.
Dunne, however, says that no such
code existed and that an attempt to
use this against him in the trial ot
Monterey failed completely. Dunn
declares that he will prove himself
entirely innocent when his case is
called at El Paso.
