Chicago July The United States
circuit court composed of Judges Pet-

W. H. Seaman today unanimously re-
versed the decision of United States
District court Jjdge K. M. Landis sit-
ting inflicting a fine of $29240000
against the Standard Oil company.
The decision . the higher tribunal
remands the case for new trial.
Standard Oil officials and attorneys
are jubilant and declare an early re-
hearing improbable and a new convic-
tion cannot be secured.
The decision of the upper court was
unexpected and astonishing in many
circles. Government officials are stun-
ned by the blow.

Nebuchadnezzar Ate Alfalfa
m CUTTING THIRD CHOP
'It is the king of all weeds a truly
royal plant that reigns supreme where
it obtains a foothold; it will kill out
even Johnson grass if you give it a
chance and once planted a field of
it will grow for a thousand years witn
out replanting" said Henry Johnson
as he was showing his fine alfalfa
field east of town to a party of sight-
seers. "A new plant? Why certainly not.
It is well authenticated history thot
old N'ebuehadnezzer fed on alfalfa
when he turned out to graze on the
plains cf Mesopotamia several thous-
and years ago" replied Mr. Johnson
in answer to a query.
Mr. Johnson has 300 acres of alfalfa
and is now cutting his third rop this
season. When the season is over he
wil have about 15u0 tons which will
be worth from $11 to $12 per ton. He
has already cut over three tons per
acre and on a part of the land which
was fertilized the yield from the sec-
ond cutting alone was nearly two tons
to the acre.
From the time the cutting begins
there is practically continuous harvest
for 100 days.
Alfalfa grows without any cultivn-
tion bivi Mr. Johnson with bis up-to-date
methods of farming stirs the
soil with ra alfalfa renovator after
every second or third cutting. The
roots striking deep are not injured by
the stirring and it makes the phnt
grow faster. It grows about an inch
a day in favorable weather.
Last season Mr. Johnson sold about
1000 tons of the hay and fed the
rest of it. He has large barns and
sheds on his place in which he can
store practically his entire crop If he
desires.
Besides being an alfalfa grower Mr.
Johnson also raises a little corn hav-
ing about 7U0 acres of that crop this
season. His corn is in fine shape with
sIhIks 15 to 16 feet high loaded
with big ears. It looks like It will
make 75 to 80 bushels to the acre.
There ts no prettier sight at this
season than this wonderful Washita
Valley farm. No one who sees it will
think for a moment that the richness
of the Washita Valley has been exaggerated.

"I wish every democratic
newspaper would commence the
collection of a fund from its
own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford to make .a small subscrip-
tion and the people will never
be able to control the govern-
ment until they take upon them-
selves uie bin den of supplying
campaign funds. As long as a
few men furnish the money to
finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue influence
upon ...e government.
-i seems that we have reach-
ed the end of corporate contribu-
tions and that is a step in ad-
vance but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor-
porations may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews of
war. The democratic party has
struck at this system by limit-
ing contributions to $10000 and
providing for. publicity before
election. The Republican party
has so far refused to join with
us on this proposition but public
sentiment may yet compel it to
do so. I have no doubt that the
democratic party will receive
contributions from more individ-
uals than ever contributed to
any campaign and there is no
reason why the entire amount
should not be contributed by the
nwsses.
"If every democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend
a helping hand we will soon
have money enough in the treas-
ury to provide for legitimate
campaign work and that is all
we want." William J. Bryan.
Responding to the above appeal of
William J. Bryan the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
Of course if any one feels disposed
to give more tlrm a dollar it will be
entirely acceptable There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving $100 if he wants to.
Donations wilt not be limited to the
city of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall of China
and back again. Every democrat of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory.
It is conceded that the republicans
will have almost unlimited funds at
their disposal this year the trusts
and milionaires will dig It up. Dem-
ocracy must rely for its sinews of
war upon the free will offerings of the
plain people.
A strict account of every dollar will
be kept with the names of the donors
and all will be forwarded to the prop-
er custodians.
Grady county the stronghold of de-
mocracy must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call.
SEND IN YOUR DOLLAR FOR
BRYAN AND DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

ING AGAINST THE EVASION
OF AMERICAN
City of Mexico July 22. The anti-
foreign fight in Mexico is assuming
large proportions and a bitter contro-
versy over the question is being waged
by the foreign and the native press.
La Patria prints an article in which it
proclaims the time ripe for a policy
whose cry shall be "Mexico for the
Mexicans." Most of the tirade i3
directed against the "Yankees" a tern
of contempt used by Mexican editors
in designating Americans.
Among other things La Patria de-
clares that If American think the gov-
ernments of ArgHniine Chili or Brazil
more enlightened tlwn that of Mexico
they should journey to those parts the
sooner the better.
After referring to the efforts on the
part of foreigners against the propose!
new mining law restricting incorpora-
tion of Mexico the paper says: "We
