What is called the National Anti
trust Leaguo was organized in Wash
ington City. The Associated Press
describes the purpose of this league
in this way: "Members of congress
are interested in the new movement
and immediate steps will be taken
toward perfecting state organizations.
Then, when prices soarj the leaguo
members, by stopping the use of such
articles or commodities as have gone
above a certain level, will try to put
them back by refusing to furnish a
market. The plan was tried in Ger
many a few years ago, and, accord
ing to a report, broke up a combine
that had raised the price of coffee
to an almost prohibitive point. The
meeting was informal and no final
organization was effected. It was
agreed? however, that the crusade
5ust beginning should go under the
name of the National Anti-trust
League, and that the organization
should be non-political. The women
of the United States will be taken
into membership on equal terms with
the men, and will have equal voice
in the campaign. The women, be
ing the housekeeprs of the country,
the pioneers of the plan believe their
assistance is vital to success. 'We
furnish the purses, said one of the
speakers, 'but our wives and sisters
and mothers make the disbursements
from them. We've got to have the
women with us.' Accordingly, when
congress meets, the league will work
through .the representatives, and in.
some cases through the senators
with a view of having them interest
themselves In the- " organization of
state branches. A nominal fee will
be charged each member, probably
not exceeding 25 cents a year, to
cover the cost of mailing proclama
tions against certain articles of goods
that have been pushed too high in
the market. A national charter will
be sought and the head offices will
likely be in Washington."

wisdom can select a presidential can
didate. If Theodore Roosevelt, Wil

dates for the presidency were to be
nominated under the direct primary

AKarisas City, Mo dispatch ca
rled by the Associated Press says:
"Judge L. C. True of the district
court in Kansas City, Kan., declared
that the Traders Live Stock Ex
change association, operating at the
Kansas City stock yards, is a ' trust
whose methods violate the Kansas
anti-trust law and ordered the asso
ciation dissolved in rendering a deci
sion in a suit brought against the
association by the attorney general
of Kansas. The Traders Live Stock
Exchange association is composed of
185 members, who deal principally
m stockers and feeders, cattle not
fat enough for slaughter. The state
brought a suit against the associa
tion two years ago, alleging that the
methods of the concern placed such
restrictions on trade and commerce
as to violate the anti-trusfc law. The
Co-operative Live Stock Commission
company, also at Kansas City stock
yards, filed the original complaint
against the Traders' Live Stock Ex
change association. In this com
plaint It was alleged that the asso
ciation boycotted the members of the
Co-operative Live Stock Commission
company, of whom there are moro
than 400. The defendant associa
tion will appeal the case to the su
preme court An action similar to
the one brought against the Traders'
Live Stock Exchange association is
pending against the Kansas City Live
Stock exchange."
