The past season was a very successful one for the logging ‘opera- tions of the Carpentar-Lamb com- pany in the north country. PRESIDENT PRODS CONGRESS AGAIN (Continued from second page.) ARE SUCH LAWS NEEDED? President Says Yes, and Gives an Kx- ample of Sinuosity. Allegations are often made to the ef- fect that there is no real need for these laws looking to the more effective con- trol of the great corporations, upon the ground that they will do their work well without such control. I call your attention to the accompanying copy of a report just submitted by Mr, Nathan Matthews, chairman of the finance commission, to the mayor and city council of Boston, relating to certain evil practices of varlous cor- porations which have been bidders for furnishing the city with iron and steei The report shows that there bave been extensive combinations formed amoug the various corgorauons which have business with the city of Boston, in- cluding, for Instance, a carefully planned combination embracing prac tically all the firms and corporations in the United States engaged in manu- facturing or furnishing structural steel for use in any part of New England. It affected the states, the citles and towns, the railroads and street rail- ways, and generally all persons hav- Ing occasioh to use iron or steel for any purpose in that section of the country. As regards the city of Bos- ton the combination resulted In par- celling out the work by collusive bids, plainly dishounest and supported by false affirmations. In its conclusion the commission recommends as follows: “Comment on the moral meaning of these meth- ods and transactions would seem superfluous, but as they were defended at the public hearings of the commis- slon and asserted to be common and entirely proper incidents of business life, and as these practices have been freely resorted to by some of the largest industrial corporations that the world has ever known, the commission deems it proper to record its own oplin- fon. The commission dislikes to be- lieve that these practices are, as al- leged, established by the general cus- tom of the business community; and this defense itself, if unchallenged, amounts ta a grave accusation against the honesry of present business meth- ods. “To answer an invitation for public or private work by sending In what purports to be genuine bids, but what in realty are collusive figures purpose- ly made higher than the bid which is known will be submitted by one of the supposed competitors, is an act of plain dishonesty, To support these misrepresentions by false affrma- tions in writing that bids are sub. mitted in good faith and without fraud, collusion, or conmection with any other bidder, is a positive and deliberate fraud. The successful bid- der in the competition is guilty of ob. taining money by false pretenses; and the others have made themselves parties to a conspiracy clearly unlaw- ful at the common law. “Where, as in the case of the ‘Bos- ton agreement,’ a number of the most important manufacturers and dealers in structural steel in this country, In- cluding the American Bridge company, one of the constituent members of the Wnited States Steel Corporation, have combined together for the purpose of raising prices by means of collusive bids and false representations their “Jake’s” services. He is worthy, in every way. A. Lemloh and wife came to the city yesterday and spent the day in Bemidji as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Winebrenner and family. Mr. Lemloh owns a valu- able farm on the banks of Mud Lake, and for the past four years he has worked industriously clear- ing the land and farming the soil in an intelligent manner, with the result that he has a splendid place, and his farm is one of the very. best in the Mud lake country. conduct i8 not only repugnant to com- mon honesty, but is plainly obnoxioua to the federal statute known as the Sherman or anti-trust law. “The commission believes that .an example should be made of these men, and that the members of the ‘Boston agreement,’ or at least all those who, in October and November, 1905, en- tered In the fraudulent competitions for the Cove street draw span and the Brookline street bridge, should be brought before a federal grand jury for violation of the act of congress of July 2, 1890. The three years’ limita- t#ion for participation -in these trans- actions has not yet elapsed, and the evidence obtained by the commission Is o complete that there should be no dfficulty in the government secur- ‘ng a convictlon in this eage” I have submitted’ this rcport to the department of justice for tiorough in- vestigation and for actfon, if action shall prove practicable. Sucely such n state of affairs as that above set forth emphasizes the need of further federal legislation, not merely because of the material benefits such legislation will secure, but above all because this fed eral action sliould be part, and a large part, of thé campaign to waken our people as a whole to a lively and ef- fective condemnation of the low stand- ard of morality impHed in such con- duet on the part of great business con- cerns, The first duty of every man is to provide a livelthood for himself and for those dependent upon him, It 18 from every standpoint desirable that each of our citizens should en- deavor by hard work and honorable methods to secure for him and his such a competency as will carry with it the opportunity to enjoy in reasonable fashion the comforts and refinements of life; and furthermore, the man of great business ability who obtains a fortune in upright fashion inevitably in so doing confers a bene- fit upon the community as a whole and is entitled to reward, to respect, and to admiration. But among the meny kinds of evil— social, industrial, and political—which It 18 our duty as a nation sternly to combat, there is none at the same time more base and more dangerous than the greed which treats the plain and simple rules of honesty with cynical contempt if they interfere with mak- ing a profit. And as a nation we can not be held guiltness if we condone “such action. The man who preaches hatred of wealth honestly acquired, who in. culcates envy and jealousy and slan- derous 1ll-will toward those of his fel- lows who by thrift, energy and in- dustry have become men of means, is a menace to the community. But his counterpart In evil s to be found In that particular kind of multimil- Honaire who s almost the least envia- ble, and is certainly one of ibe least admirable, of all our citizens—a man of whom it has been well said that his face bas grown hard and ecrmel while his body has grown soft; whose 8on is a fool and his daughter a for- eign princess; whose nominal pleasures are at best those of a tasteless and | extravagant luxury, and whose real delight, whose real life work, is the accumulation and use of power in fits wmost sordid and least elevating form. In the chaos of an absolutely up- restricted commercial individualism uader modern conditions this is a type that becomes prominent as inevitably as the marauder baron became promi- nent In the physical chaos of the dark ages. We are striving for legislation to minimize the abuses which give this type its flourishing prominence, partly for the sake of what can be accom- plished by the legislation itself, and partly because the legislation marks our participation In a great and stern moral movement to hring our ideals and our conduct into measurable ac- cord. . THEODORE ROOSEVELT, The White House, April 27, 1908, NATURE TELLS YOU As Many a Bemidji Knows Too Well When the kidneys are sick, Nature tells you all about it. The urine is natures calender. Infrequent or to frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills. Bemidji people testify to this. Mrs. Anna A. Buell, living at 613 Second St., Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘I have suffered from kidney trouble for several years not seri- ous at any time, but dull painsin the small of my back caused me wnuch discomfort. The secretions were very unnatural in appearance and plainly showed that my kidneys were not acting properly. I made up my mind to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. Ireceived such beneficial results from their use that I procured a further suppley and I am now in the best of health. Doan’s Kidney Pills strengthened my back and kidneys and toned up my whole system.” Forsale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
