The suggestion has been made by the members of the Commercial Club of this city that the inauguration of a Monthly Sale Day, would prove to be not only of inestimable value to. the city in a business way, but would: bring the people of this city in closer touch and establish a better under- standing between the merchants of this city and the farmers of the county. The proposition, in brief, is as fol- | lows: That at monthly intervals a public sale will be held in this city. That any person may, without any | charge whatsoever to himself, enter live stock, implements, machinery, ; furniture, or other property, for sale. That sale will be extensively adver- | tised, and each article duly listed, and sold by a first classauctioneer. That | all advertising will be paid for by the business men of this city, and the auctioneer will likewise be paid for his services. In other words, the business men of Butler will establish a market, where one day in each; month the citizens of the county, mav | free of charge, put up for sale at the | hands of a competent auctioneer, any | article which they may have to offer. There is also being discussed a fea- | ture, which will undoubtedly be in-; corporated into the plan, for each merchant in the city, to make an especially low price on some article for that day only; no two merchants to make a cut upon the same article, thus giving those attending the sales an opportunity to secure extra bar- gains upon many staple articles. Extensive investigations have been ; made by the Commercial Club re- garding the success of similar institu- | tions in other cities, and Col. C. E. | Robbins, who has been present at} In order to make a thorough test, | the Commercial Club has ages to hold an experimental sale in Septem- ber at the expense of the club, and; the following gentlemen have been, -Tich calls his lame duck commission | ished. been appointed a committee on ar- rangements: Wesley Denton, O. A. Heinlein, Clyde McFarland, Jos. Ghere, Jake Baum, B. P. Powell and Clyde Robbins. There is no doubt that the farmers of Bates county will heartily co-oper- ate with our merthants in this enter- prise, and by taking advantage of the opportunities offered, make the Monthly Sale Day a big success. WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Washington Correspond- ent of The Times. By Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington D. C.,—That the ‘‘far- mers’’ principally interested in killing reciprocity, are Wallstreet ‘‘farmers,”’ whose “‘crops’’ consist chiefly of lum- ber and paper trust dividends, was ‘revealed in testimony taken by the Senate finance committee. It was shown that Allen & Graham, ‘alleged attorneys for the National ‘Grange, are really professional lob- byists for the big tariff trusts. Their argument when seeking business is that they can pull the necessary wires jin Washington to defeat or bring ; about the passage of any legislation they be assigned upon. Mr. Allen was made to. admit under cross-examination that the anti-reci- procity literature with which ‘the ‘agricultural districts have recently |been flooded came direct from the | lobbyist headquarters within a stone’s | throw of Wall street. Mr. Allen also | admitted that the American Lumber ‘Manufacturers’ association, the Pup ns Print Paper association and the American Wool Manufacturer’s as- | {sociation (lumber trust, paper trust respectively) are among those who pledged themselves | to finance this holy crusade for the and wool trust, | farmers. Allen & Graham have among their ‘clients some of the best. “farmers” | in Wall street. The firm was shown | Whisky Security Company, (whisky i trust) and the Standard Oil Company, | the latter of which organizations is | headed by Jno. D. Rockefeller, whose occupation as a big oil ‘farmer is = | yond controversy. j Commission Aptly Named. | It is known now why Senator Ald- | to have represented as lobbyists the Special values in wide embroidered flOUNCINGS 1OF.... 5... cesses eevee ses 48c Special values in wide embroidered extra fine flouncings for.............. 75c SPECIAL NEW LOT LINEN ROAD COATS FOR LADIES WALKER-McKIBBEN’S Special Values 124%c bleached crash colored borders for 10c Heavy bleached muslin for..............

The report | also contains various insinuating en- tries that read ‘‘account clerical force and persons in attendance on com- mission. The European trip cost $19,250.18. It was a nice summer trip and any- body who has traveled with a Cook party will tell you that a select little party of a lialf dozen can make a mighty fine circuit of the continent for $19,250.80. The account is not itemized beyond this statement. In- deed, Senator Aldrich has fixed it so the commission may spend any: amount of money it desires without! giving a detail report to anyone. The} former senator is not hampered by| formalities whatever. He has only; to reach into the treasury, get the money and sign a receipt. It is ap- palling to contemplate what would happen to the treasury if all commis-| rions and departments of the govern- ment were permitted to employ simi- larly loose business methods while spending the people’s money. However, as a fresh-air fund. to| promote the recuperation of lame ducks, the commission is manifestly | a big success. To this end witness the meeting of the commission at Narragansett.Pier in July, 1909. It! takes monetary backing to go to Nar- mnt in July. The bill was $3,-! | And Senator Cummins, of Iowa, is sugar trust. It was not a_ partisan movement. Republican, introduced a sugar inves- | tigation resolution in the Senate, and | Campbell, of Kansas, introduced a! similar one in the House. The President was greatly dis- pleased. He sent a message to Con-; gress advising against an investiga- | tion on the ground that it might give immunity to the men higher-up and otherwise embarass the government. The message was based on an opin-! ion of the United States Attorney General Wickersham, who was in-| spiring Washington dispatches at the ‘time with the impression that he was | about to prosecute the men high-up | for the $2,000,000 sugar underweight frauds. Now comes the Attorney General with the statement, made under oath before a House investigating commit- jtee, that he never believed that the | heads of the sugar trust could be suc- cessfully prosecuted for the under- weight frauds. He ‘also says that they would not have secured im- munity from prosecution had they testified. In other words the reasons. given by both the President and the Attor- ney General as to why the sugar trust |. should not be investigated under a Republican House, are now admitted to have been fictitious. The real reason as to why the Re- |i publicans were unwilling to permit a investigation of the Senator Borah, of Idaho, | |party, and one of its star campaign contributors? Running Down a Clue. While investigating expenditures in | |the state department, where it cost | | $200 to shoe four horses for a year, ithe House investigating committee; . | struck upon aclue tending to show that an artist named Rosenthal had ‘been paid $850 for painting a protrait of Justice W. R. Day and that the |government had been charged with $2450. Rosenthal testified he signed | a blank voucher for $850. It appears | that subsequently someone made the | voucher appear that Rosenthal had | acknowledged the receipt of $2450. As it is the duty of the committee | under the law to investigate the ex-, |penditures in the state department, | Chairman Hamlin of Missouri ordered the state department to produce its; books. Instead of producing the| books Secretary of State Knox ap- peared before the committee with aj letfer from the President ordering him not to comply with the commit-' tee’s demands. For the present; the |matter ends here. Chairman Hamlin. will probably bring the matter before the House and ask that the state de- partment be compelled to produce its records.
