VlfAL WASHINGTON NEWS,
Special Correspondence,.
Washington, May 6. Now
comes the discovery that Bur
dette D. Townsend, one of Mr.
Roosevelt's special trust inves
tigators, was assigned in 1905,
to investigate the harvester trust
and that he reported that it was a
monopoly in every sense of the
word; that it was holding up far
mers, receiving rebates from the
steel trust and railroads, and that
the trust was organized by
George W. Perkins, who is now
financing the Roosevelt campaign,
Mr. Roosevelt said recently he
never had any reports suppress
ed. But this report was suppress
ed, The public never heard of it.
It died by the chlorforming pro
cess, as a result of Mr, Roosevelt's
order to his attorney generrl not
!o start suit against the harvester
trust.
While Mr. Roosevelt was pro
tecting the harvester trust from
prosecution by the federal govern
ment, that organization was being
driven from Missouri, Oklahoma
and other states whose legal ma
chinery was not under the domi
nation of Wall street.
The Townsend report showed
ihe harvester trust controlled
d Pr cent of total harvester in
Vj.stry in this country, and stated
: : "George W. Perkins con
d.'.;.; the negotiations, and de-vT-:d
;.nd executed the plan final
ised upon. " ' -
'The most effective weapons
e . cloyed by the harvester trust,"
'.. rted Mr. Roosevelt's investi
gator, ''are of the invisable kind;
T: is directly ailled with that
-oup of Standard Oil and com
mercial aggregations commonly
known as the steel trust, the coal
trust, the railroad trust, the bank
ing trust, etc. Rebates, prices of
raw materials, extending or re
fusal of banking credit, can all be
manipulated with a discriminat
ing favor which is murderous to
the competitors of the Internation
al Harvester company."
This, then, is the kind of in
formation Theodors Roosevelt had
on the harvester trust when he
nstructed his attorney general
not to start suit without letting
him know, with the consequence
that suit was neyer started,
Considering these facts, is it
any wonder that George W. Per
'vins, organizer of the illegal har
vester trust and director of the il
legal steel trust, who might today
be in the penitentary if Mr,
Roosevelt had not given him im
munity from prosecution spent
' a vote in New York city in the
hi'oe of again placing Mr. Roose
t in the White House?

Mr . BradiSe Keis At Casbier ot
Atameetlriir::ri of
Directors ot the Peoples Bant
held on last Friday .night Mr. j.
S. Bradsher tendered his resig
nation as Cashier. - -
The Peoples Bank is one of the
oldest institutions of the" town and
Mr. Bradsher has been piloting its
affairs for about seventeen years.
We do not think we go wide- of
the mark when we say under his
wise management it has succeed
ed as few banks have, for start
ing with a small capital today it
has a capital of forty thousand
dollars, with thirty two thousand
five hundred dollars surplus. With
this record Mr. Bradsher has just
cause to feel proud of his suc
cess. We have not heard what his
intentions are, but with such a
record, an unnumbered host of
friends and a reputation to be
envied by all, he will succeed in
whatever venture he undertakes.
With his friends we sincerely
hope he has no intentions of leav
ing the town, for we have not one
of his kind to spare,

The Situation Grows Worse.
New Orleans, La., May 6.
The flood situation tonight, view
ed from every angle, is disheart
ening than at any time since the
Mississippi begin sending its
record breaking volumes of wa
ter from Cairo to the gulf. With
all previous high stages obliterat
ed, the great stream is tonight
from one-half to two and a half
feet higher than ever known; the
weather bureau predicts an addi
tional rise or two feet before the
crest shall have passed, while
rain is falling in torrents almost
over the entire far southern coun
try, weakening thp already
