THE FARMERS UNION ADVOACTE.
WHAT EFFECT WILL IT HAVE?
The United States supreme court
by Justice Lurton, 011 May 2 hander
down a decision which vitally streets
the entire retail, wholesale and manu-
facturing trades of the country.
Briefly, the decision sustains th«
lower and supreme courts of the stale
of Mississippi and disbands the As-
sociation of Iftltail Lumber Dealers !
Mississippi and Louisiana. At the
same time Justice Lurton announced
a decision ousting the Standard Oil
company of Kentucky from Tennessee
Both were found guilty of vlolatlr
the anti-trust laws of the respective
states.
In the case of the lumbermen it wa
held:
That any one of the persons en
gaged in the retail lumber business
might have made a fixed rule of con-
duct not to buy his stock from n pro-
ducer or wholesaler who should sell
to the consumers in competition with
himself is plain, ssid the justice No
law which would Infringe his lreed< m
of contract in that particular would
stand.
But when the plaintiffs in error
combine and agree that no one
them will trade with any producer
wholesaler who shsll sell to a con-
sumer within the trade range of any
of them, quite another case is pre-
sented.
An act. harmless when done by any
one. may become a public wrong when
done by many acting in concert, for It
then takes on the form of a conspir-
acy. and may be prohibited or punisn-
ed. if the result be hurtful to the puw-
lic or to the individual against whom
the concerted action is directed.
Further, in discussing the case, the
justice said:
For the purpose of suppressing this
competition thej have not stopped
with an Individual obligation
frain from dealing with one who pells
within his circle and thereby deprive
him of a possible customer, but hav
agreed not ti* deal with any one who
makes sales to customers, which sale*
might have been made by any one
teventy-seven independent member*
of the association.
Thus they have stripped themselves
of all freedom «>f contract In order t
compel those against whom they have
combined, to elect between their
hined trade and tl.at of consumers.
That such an agreement is one In re-
straint of trade is undeniable, what-
ever the motive or necessity which
has induced the compact.
Whether it would be i'legnl at com-
mon law is not now for our determi-
nation. It is illegal combination and
conspiracy under the Mississippi stat-
ute.
This decision carriers with It con-
sequences that are bound to be far-
reaching, in connection with all asso-
ciations of merchants, rndoubtedly
♦ he decision is sound; at least, it eu*
lncldes with previous decisions rela-
tive to boycotts and other conspira-
cies, if a layman may be permitted to
express an opinion, and we felt im-
ptjlled to caution association members
to be careful In regard to aM matters
of common agreement, whether sucb
agreement is made in writing or not
*1 seems to be held that any concert
* action h oklitk' toward cue r clou
r in though such action be absolutely
necessary to the life of the business
Is Illegal and improper; although arj
Individual is permitted to use his own
discretion as to whom he will and wi',
n patronize
I11 the judgment of the writer, price
agreements, ulso, formally entered en-
teral into, are effectually barred bj
thta decision; of that we think then
cai be no further question. In ou
01 friion, also, it will reach much fur
ther and If it could he shown that in
ti:e course of a meeting of the mem-
bers of an association, for Instance
one member should arise and sa>. fol-
lowing the discussion of an allege*"
unfair manufacturer or Jobber. "I. fo
: one. shall not patronize him." and
others In turn, should say the same
though there has not been a formal
agreement and nothing should appca
on the records to show that any action

there is little doubt that act could anO
v 1 "ild he held to be conspiracy.
It behooves associations of dealers
ti erefore, to he extremely careful
Association work has grown to be an
Important factor In the mercantll
business too Important to be Jeopar-
dized by any action which might bo
found In conflict with tiie laws of the
land; and whatever influence it is at-
tempted to exert at any time on the,
other branches of the trade must be
confined purely to a "moral" basis.
We do not presume to Intimate that
tie Implement dealers have at any
time attempted anv other kind o
rauslon. with possibly one or two
minor exceptions but sometimes It Is
an easv matter. In the excitement 01
the moment during or ft Mowing a hot
discussion of aom grievance, for
body of men to take a rash action
without realizing that It may be ove
Plopping the hounds of the law. if n
of the moral rights of the parties 1i
Volved.
There is a possibility that some
manufacturer'' who are not ' sound in
the faith" and are looking for oppor
tunltles to find a loophole through
which they can escape the indignation
of the dealers inav b«- disposed to take
advantage of this fact by selling direct
and then defying the associations t
take the matter up but in such cases
there is always the force of moral
suasion er Tin used and if such a man
>• nfacturer is waited on by a tactful ana"
Influential committee and the injustl •
of his position fully shown him, It
altogether probable that the matter
can be adjusted without friction. In
fact. It has been found that the gre*i
majority of such cases have arisen
t: om a ml*unde*-«v n -
ditlons and true conception" '
lations between the two ends of th
trade, and that a little common sens
end Judgment and business tact have
been th^ means of settling amlcaM
differences which at first seemed In-
surmountable.
So far as com * rns the nAlntenarx-e
©f prices, the leon! a— lattoi 19 still
the panacea for most of the local ills
of the trade, and even If no concerted
acti.* on price maintenance is taken
at any time, the getting together so, i-
ully will result in a more thorough un-
derstanding of each other's personality
uml the ethics of the trade that will
surely cause the dealers j*artlcipating
to establish and maintain fair price*
and never seek to ruin each other'
business by price-cutting or othej
derhanded methods.
It is evident that the day of force
in business is past and that flu era of
business ethics is about to be ushered
in. It may be that the compulsion
the law, as interpreted by the sunre
court, was necessary to inauguiMe the
new regime; but 011. e it is established
we believe that no genuine business
man with a high moral sense and we
firmly believe that this Is characteris-
tic of all real business m-rn. and that
the other kind belong In an entirely
different category—will regret the
clanged condition. Much of the discom-
fort and annoyance and worry of mod-
ern business life arises from this very
source; and while at first blush the
decision quoted appears to wipe out
the means which lias in many cases
been sucooeesfuflly used to combat
some of the iHw of the trade, it is
pmlNbMa tf.it wben business ooaditietw 1
become adjusted ^to the new order
everybody will realize that intelligent
individual action iu these particulars,
modified by the stronger mora! sense
and the moral Influence they will bo
at)le to exert upon the manufacturers
frpm whom they buy their stocks, will
make for better and more satisfactory
retail trade conditions than heretofore
have existed. At any rate there is no
use to kick gainst the decisions of
the United Suites supreme court, and
le only thing to do is to adjust our-
Ivcs to conditions as they exist, and
try to accomplish by other and per-
haps fairer means what we would like
to see accomplished.

Don't be over confident. We are go-
ing up against the strongest, most
energetic, resourceful bunch of boost-
c-iw that ever assembled.
They have men ail over the state
now, buying votes? No, that is
against the law, besides it costs
money. They are selling lots, SI.00
down und $1 00 per month for 100
months. The man who invests S2.00 In
a "pair" of Oklahoma City lots, pays
$2.00 for the privilege of becoming a
"booster" After living bought that
privilege you may be sure he Is go-
ing to exercise It.
Livery teams are being engaged al-
ready, now let me be explicit. I. I.
Maples, livery man at Webbers Falls,
told me yesterday, morning that he
1 ad already been visited by a strange
man to contract for all his teams for
Friday evening. June 10th, and Satur-
day, June 11th. #
The men who want this hill adopted
are going to vote June *11th. That is
ie way to get it adopted.
The men who want this bill defe-r-
I better get busy When the polls
close June 11th let It be truthfully
said that the vote cast represents the
wishes of Oklahoma's citizens.
Don't say to me after It Is over

The people will rule June 11th—the

AN INTERESTING
COMMUNICATION.
(Continued from Page 1.)
stock paid, the transfer of stock, the
amount of assets and liabilities, and
the names and places of residence of
officers and such other matter as may
be required by order of the corpor-
ation commission. It prevents the
commission or either of them or such
person as they may employ, therefor,
the right, as they may deem necessary
to Inspect the books and papers of the
railroad company or other public ser-
vice corporation and to examine under
any officer, agent or employee of such
corporation in relation to the business
und affairs of the same. It prevents
the commission from requirng of such
mpanies from time to time special
reports and statements under oath
nicerning their business, thereby pre-
or permit any gambling room venting the commission from making
and enforcing such physical condition
of the railroads of the state as to the
manner In which they were operated
with reference to the security and ac-
commodation of the public and be-
cause these reports cannot be re-
quired by order of the commission,
prevents the commission from taking
and enforcing such requirements, rules
and regulations a* may be necessary
to prevent unjust or unreasonable dis-
crimination or extortion by any trans-
portation or transmission compay in
favor of or against ay person, locality,
community, connecting line or kind of
traffic, etc. Because these reports can
not be required, tho commission can
not prescribe Just rates and regula-
tions.
Third—It repeals the accounting or-
der prescribed by the commission, by
which the ruilroads are required to
make a detailed accounting of all their
acts and doings partaining to the state
of Oklahoma.
Fourth—It repeals all other orders
requiring information. It repeals that
provision of the constitution giving
the commission to require Information
by order of the acts or doings of the
railroad companies.
Fifth—It repeals the accident order
of the commission which requires the
ralroad company to report all acci-
dents an the cause thereof to the com-
mission so the commission may know
the cause that some action may be
taken to prevent the sacrifice of hu-
man life in rallroa operations.
Sixth -It virtually strips the com-
mission of all power and leaves It
standing like a withered oak without
power to do anything that Is material
or effective so far as the interest of
the state Is concerned.
This statement Is so complete that
It needs no further comment from me.
The proposed section repeals sec
tlons 2. 6. 8, 9. 11. 28 and SI and por
tlons of section 19 of article 9 Sec-
tion 2 as It now stands gives to every
railroad company and other companies
organized or authorized to do a trans-
portation business under the laws of
this stafe the right to construct and
operate Its lines between arty rrinta
in this stnte and to connect at the
state line with other railroad lines.
The objecton the railroads have
this section is to the words "organized
or authorized under the laws of this
state." What they wish to do Is to
build and construct their lines an
operate them without asking any per-
mission from and without being regu-
lated bv the state.
Section 8 requires railroads to have
a public office In thl« -tnt- for thr
transaction of Its business and where
pre .nr. ns f. r a "painless"(*) opera-
it shall keep a record of its stocks,
transfer of stocks, and the books of
the corporation, containing the owners
of stock and the amount owned by
and requires the railroad com-
pany to make annually under oath to
the corporation commission, and such
ther reports as the corporation com-
mission may require a report concern-
ing their art- and doings The object
of this section Is to put the public fn
pONMllM of nil the facts wit* refer-
ence to the manag.menf of railroad*,
and particularly tfie corporation com-
mission. so that It may be known how
to protterlv rerulnt< and control them,
so as to deal fairly and justly with
them and at the same time protect
the people from excessive charges In
this, connect ion I wish to say that the
right of the ruilroad to exist Is a right
given by the people. They obtain from
the people right of way over and
across any and ull lands necessary for
the construction of the railroad with-
out regard us to whether the persons
who own the land over which the rail-
road crosses desires the same or not.
In fact, they are a part of the gov-
eromtnt, given rights whi^h are not
accorded to other companies or per-
sons and of necessity ought to be re-
quired to transact their business in
the proper way for the benefit of the
public, wnoso domain they take, as
well as for their own gain. The privi-
leges granted to them are so great
that unless they are properly regu-
lated and controlled they will soon
regulate and control the government.
Section 8 prevents any railroad from
consolidating with or buving up the
stock of a competing railroad, run-
ning a parallel or competing lino, un-
less specially authorized to do so by
the legislature and upon recommenda-
tion of the corporation commission)
Eliminate this section from the con-
sttution and there would be nothing
in the way of the great railroads from
consolidating under one management
and becoming a gigantic monopoly,
destroying all competition. This wouUJ
be exactly what the big railroad com-
panies would want and is exactly what
would lay the. foundation for the ruin
of the people.
Section 9 prevents consolidation by
private or Judicial sale of foreign
railroads with domestic railroad com-
panies. This is the section about wheh
we have heard so much talk. Section
9 was taken verbatim from the laws of
the state of Texas. It had the effect
there not only of inducing the great
railroad companies to become Texas
corporations, and thereby building and
buying up many miles of additional
railroads, but also had the result of
making the same railroad companies
subject to the laws of the state of
Texas and make it possible Tor cftl*
zena of that state, who had claims
against said companies to bring their
suits in the courts of the state and
have them adjudicated there, thereby
avoiding the federal courts. Smiliaf
actions brought in this state would be
transferable by the railroads to the
federal courts, and that condition will
continue to prevail, unless we leave
section 9, above referred to. in the
constitution. If we leave it there in
my Judgment, it will not be many
years until all the great corporations
will have their homes in Oklahoma in-
stead of having their homes in other
states of the Union, and transact their
business in Oklahoma.
Section 11 provides that none of the
great transportation companies shall
have any of the benefits conferred by
the constitution or by the legislature,
except on condition of complete ac
ceptance of all the provisions of the
constitution und laws appliacble to
railroads, etc.
Sections 28 and 31 and the parts of
section 18, the abve referred to, are
dealt with in the above statement from
the corporation commission.
The people ought to realize that this
effort to amend the constitution is but
a part of the fight made by the rail-,
roads and other public service cor-
porations to prevent control and regu-
lation by the state. If this amendment
should he defeated, in my Judgment, It
will stop the fight against the consti-
tution and will result In matters set-
tllng down to a proper business basfn.
I am not one of those who believe the
railroad building Is being retarded
by anything that Is In the constitu-
tion. because of the fact that during
the last year Oklahoma has built more
miles of railroad than any adjoining
state except it be Texas. Texis Is
peratlng practically under the same
provision of law that we are. and ex-
actly so with reference to section 9.
There are more prospective miles of
railroad to be built in the coming
year than In any of the adjoining
states, the bonds for which have al-
ready been floated. The farmer, the
stock raiser, the merchant, the man
who has occasion to use the railroads
for shipping purposes the man who
produces and adds to the public
wealth, cannot afford to fight for this
roposed amendment. The man who
a townslte boomer, and who make
his wealth by wind rather than by
brain and brawn, and who Is dumping
on the public fictitious for real
values, may profit some during th-
next two or three months If this sec-
tion Is adopted. The railroads,
course, will be Immense gainers and
the state will be set back many years
In Its proper and legitimate develop
ment. Every citizen who has the In-
terest of the state and of his horn*
heart should feel it a bounden duty to
himself and his country to go to the
polls on June 11th'. and by his vote
strike a blow to this momentous move
" n the part of the great public ser-
vice corporations to relieve them
•elves of control and regulation by the
state and to put themselves beyond
the reach of the law.

THEY HELP NAME BABIES
Each One Returning Has Some
Interesting- Experience to
late—Most People Responded
Kindly.
A group of census enumerators who
have completed their work and turned
in their reports were engaged in re-
lating their experiences, some of which
they considered rather delicate. One
said that he had called at a home to
enumerate when the latest arrival In
the household was so young as not
to have been named yet; he didn't
know what to do other than to insist
that the youngster be named so as to
make his record complete. And now
began what to him seemed would be
an endless task—that of deciding 011
a name for baby. John wanted to
name it after his folks and Amanda
wanted to name after hers; and so
they argued. Finally a visitor pres-
ent at the time and who appeared
mentally resourceful, thoughtfully sug-
gested that in consideration of the
circumstances she thought it would
be fitting to name the baby after the
census man—and thus the little one
was christened.
Another enumerator shaid he had
named two babies while engaged In Ills
work—one Theodore and the other
William Howard. Neither of the enu-
merators had learned that these little
ones could have been named as "in-
fants" in their reports until they had
completed their work und returned to
the supervisor's office.
Another enumerator related how n
ady, who had In rathed an emphatW
manner told him that It was "none of
his business" in reply to the question
as to whether she had been marrieci
rflore than once, showed a kindly wil-
lingness to "explain" before the enu
meration was complete. Sfflfe had said
that he could record her as married
and "that ought to be enough." When
questioned as to the number of child-
ren, she answered tj.at there were two,
one three and the other eleven year*
old—and now she was only too willing
to explain that she hftd been married
twice, the children each bearing
different family name. The fact was
there had been a separation as to the
first marriage, and this the owouian
had hoped to avoid telling.

KITCHEN NOTES.
In* making pudding always beat the
eggs separately, straining the yolk and
adding the whites the last thing.
If Dolled milk Is used for it, cool
before adding the eggs.
When fruit is used, stir It In last.
Let raisins He In hot water a min-
ute or two to plump them.
Add flavorings to puddings when
cold, as much of it will pass off in
steam.
Dates are an excellent substitute for
sugar and an addition in themselves.
When eggs are scarce substitute a
small grated carrot for each egg in a
plum pudding recipe.
For coffee flavor do not make a
strong coffee jelly, but blend with
cream or white of egg.
Boll rice until thick and soft in
cherry Juice and serve with cream and
sugar.
Mix sugar and cornstarch dry, stir
in a little hot milk until smooth, then
stir into the desired quantity of hot
milk.
If dumplings are put to cook in cold
water they will not fall apart.
