1 ii MARCH 15, 1912 A SUREJ WAY TO MAKE BION13Y Freo lands in the United States are rone, but you can get tho best land In Mexico tree, all required Is to have five acres of bananas planted within five years. The planting: can bo done by authorized Improvement Companies on tho installment plan. The first two years you pay $5 a, month. Tho Com pany will also care for and market your bananas on shares, and your share should be about $200 per acre. Producing banana orchards sell for one thousand dollars per acre. Bananas bear in 16 months. You need not go to Mexico yourself. Persons- living in the United States and Canada can get par ticulars regarding f.'ce land in Mexico by addressing Tho Jantha Plantation Company, Block 9JL3, Pittsburgh, Pa. As people know nothing of these free lands, I thought it my duty to call their attention to them. Surely no one would pay three hundred dollars an acre for fruit lands In the United States and Canada when they can get bettor land in Mexico free, and land handy to rail roads and market, with climato and health conditions unsurpassed.

Tho Aldrlch plan is for a fifty-year-long experiment in mixing poli tics with finance to find out whether financiers shall bo able to develop political skill and whether politicians shall be able to develop financial sa gacity, and, whether leading finan ciers and leading politicians shall bo able to combine their talents and so control our elections and our indus tries. Under tho old Aldrirhlsm, many elections were carried by mix ing politics with tariff schedules, congressmen being helped to their seats by the tariff benefiriaries, and these congressmen, in tliefr turn, looking out for the interests of these same beneficiaries. And it is quite proner that tho new Aldrichism will provide the influence of the Na tional "Reserve association to put into office such congressmen as shnll suit tho leaders of the National Reserve association, and then these congress men will see that tho National "Re serve association's original privileges phnll be continued, and that new pri vileges shall bo granted. When the power of finance, tho most subtle and pervasive and overwhelming of all the artificial forces of modern lire, snan ne consolidated into a unit of strength, with ramifications throughout tho land, our freedom of political action will depend unon tho good will of our financial leaders. Tf toda.v these leaders are benefi cently inclined, that is not to sav what mav lie the ambition of tomor row's leaders. We can get all the emergency mnrtpv we need through the estab lishing of separate reserve associa tions, each one to have a federal charter subject to improvement bv act of congress, as necessity shall arise. The government could con trol these associations as it does the national banks, and could prevent anv nolitioal affiliations finding a. way in due tim-e to inflict punishment unon wrongdoers. We want no such political bank, with a fifty-year char ter, as is proposed by the Aldrich monetarv commission. .T. Howard Cowperthwaite, New, York, Feb. 14. tions under tho Sherman law, has on-'i countered more and moro the ques tion of tho rights of patentees. Some officials of the department have pre dicted that the anti-trust suits of the future would bo fought along these lines. That decision was involved in tho caso against the electrical trust, now settled in favor of tho government. A REST SELLER "That fellow is ,too slick for me.

Howolls." Louisville Courier EASIER A Chicago bankor was dictating a letter to his etonographor. ''Tell Mr. Soandso," ho ordered, wthat I will meot him; in Schenectady."

Boston Transcript. IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION "Following is an Associated Press dispatch: The supreme' court held that the owner of a patent has an un restricted monopoly upon all articles used in its operation; may fix its price and prescribe Its use, and there by laid down a broad principle of doubtful application to many of the government's important anti-trust suits now pending which involve questions of patent rights. The court stood four to three. Chief Justice White, with whom dissented Justices Lamar and Hughes, in a spirited opinion voiced his dread of the re sults of the court's work, asking who could foretell the extent of monopoly and wrongful restrictions which would arise. As constructed by the majority of the court, the chief jus tice declared the patent law could reach out to include within a patent every conceivable thing used, in every American household. The chief justice declared that congress should act to head off "un told .evils" which would follow tho court's "construction of the law and arraigned the majority as having broken all precedents. The court In its history, he said, had never failed to do its duty to the whole people and to stand as the protector of every household. Justice Lurton who delivered the majority opinion was joined by Jus tices McKenna, Holmes and Vande vanter. Attorney General Wickersham and Solicitor General -Lehmann heard the decision and regaraea it as eyuuu- making. , During the last two years the de partment of justice in' its prosecu- SUNSiairiE SAFETY LOT to try in your homo 15 dnya.
