ASKS FOIl RECEIVER.
Gcorgo Welton, Jr., who claims to
be a stockholder In the Canton Boiler
and Engineering company, has filed
a petition In common pleas court for
a receiver for that concern. The pe
titioner states that ho Is the owner
of 28 shares of stock, worth $2850.
Among tho reasons he cites why a re
ceiver should be appointed are that
the company, through the Incompe
tence of the management has lost
money on two contracts, one with
the government and another with a
Pennsylvania concern and claims
that If the present management con
tinues all the assets of the com
pany will be dissipated. He also
claims the company is insolvent esti
mating its liabilities at $100,000 and
the assets at $50,000.
The petitioner also makes the
charge of fraud against the officers of
the company. He states that the
realty owned is worth but $12,400 and
that It is shown on tho books as be
ing worth $30,000. This he claims
has been done in order to make stock
holders believe the company has
been acquiring more real estate. The
machinery and equipment he claims Is
worth $17,000 and is booked as worth
$'40,000. In substance he claims the
property of the company Is really
worth about $30,000 and Is carried on
the books as being worth $70,000 and
that tho firm has lost $40,000 in the
last eighteen months.
For the reasons above given, which
are set forth in the petition the
plaintiff asks for a receiver. He Is rep
resented by Attorneys E. Wolln and
M. J. Braucher.
Curtis O. Hahn, the treasurer of
the company, last night denied that
his concern was Insolvent. He said
Its affairs were in better shape than
at any time since its organization;
thnt business was picking up and bet
ter orders were being received than
ever before. He scoffed at the idea
of the plant being thrown into tho
hands of a receiver saying it would
continue business just as It has been
doing. Ha characterized" the suit
filed by Welton as "spite work."
WANTS DIVIRCE.
Leroy S. Hlrn has filed a suit In
common pleas court for divorce from
his wife, Clara M. Hlrn, claiming ab
sence for three years. The plaintiff
says ho married the defendant at
Delphos In April, 1000, and that one
child has been born to them. He is
represented by Attorney William M.
Roach.
RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.
John Schantz has filed a petition In
common pleas court asking that
George Haack, supervisor of roads In
Lake township, and the trustees of
that district be restrained from Im
proving the road known as the Jacob
Stoner road. He claims the road in
question does not lead to any town or
village but merely connects two
roads and has been In use as it now is
since 1839. He states that it is 36 teet
wide, but when first laid out was
not made just as platted. Since
that time, however, it has not been
changed and some of the fences along
the roadway have been la existence
for 70 years and many valuable shade
and fruit trees have been planted
along the line and have now reached
maturity.
He claims It Is the Intention of the
supervisor and tho trustees to change
tho road by making Its center to the
south and thus destroying many of
the trees planted along the road as it
now is. This, he claims is proposed
despite the fact that forty or more
land holders have signed a petition
asking that tho road be not changed.
The plaintiff Is represented by At
torneys Sponseller and Sponseller
and on application Judge Ambler yes
terday granted a temporary restrain
ing order.

TRUSTS
(Continued from Page One).
the democrats succeed In the enact
ment of a law In harmony with the
democratic- platform a law requiring
every corporation to take out a feder
al license befoie it is permitted to
control twenty-llvo per cent of tho
business In which It is engaged.
Would this "extirpate and destroy"
the business of the country? As al
ready stated, but a very small per
cent of the corporations would be af
fected by the law, and those affected
would be the ones that have been
giving the officers of the law so much
trouble dining the last eighteen years
As the licensed corporation increased
its business from twenty-five per cent
to fifty per cent, it would be under the
watchful eye of the government,
would be compelled to make such re
ports as the government required,
would be prohibited from watering its
stock, ami-would be lequired to sell
to all customeis upon the same terms,
due allowance being made for cost of
transportation. Would it "extirpate
and destroy" business to require these
licensed corporations to do business
on an honest basis and to bo reason
able In their business methods?
Would not the benefit accruing to the
ninety-nine small corporations thus
protected from conscienceless meth
ods be enough to offset any evil ef
fects that might follow from such
restraint of a few big corporations?
Is business so depended upon hls
honesty and unfafrness that it would
be "extirpated and destroyed" If
morals were introduced into it? When
the licensed corporation reached a
point where it controlled one-half of
the business in which ft was engaged,
It would, according to the democratic
plan, have to stop expanding. Would
It "extirpate and destroy" business to
put this limitation upon the greed of
a few corporations? Surely our plan
could not Injuriously affect corpora
tions that might hereafter seek to es
tablish a monopoly.
The republican party has gone al
most as far as the socialist party In
the economic defense of the monop
oly, but it permits the benefits of
monopoly to be enjoyed by a compar
atively few men, who have secured a
dominant Influence In the govern
ment. I beg to call Mr. Taft's at
tention to the fact that the republi
can party has stimulated the growth
of socialism in two ways: First, by
the endorsement that it has given to
the theory that trusts are a natural
and necessary outgrowth of our eco
nomic conditions, and, second, by per
mitting the development of abuses
which have been charged against in
dividualism. If he will examine the
vote published in the World Almanac,
he will find that In 1900 the republi
cans polled 7,208,244 votes and that
the socialists polled but 85,991; in the
same almanac, he will And that in
1904 the republicans cast 7,625,489
votes and the socialists 402,286. Not
withstanding the fact that the repub
licans have boasted of their last na
tional victory, their party polled but
417,000 more otes that year than
tour years before. This scarcely more
than covered the natural Increase in
the republican portion of the popula
tion, while the socialist vote Increas
ed more than three hundred per cent,
and the Increase in votes was almost
as great as the Increase In republi
can votes.
The republican leaders have been
in the habit of sneering at the social
ists, while blindly indifferent to the
causes that have contributed to the
growth of socialism. The democrats
recognize that socialists are honestly
seeking a remedy for the "known
abuses" admitted by Secretary Taft.
Democrats dissent from the remedy
proposed by the socialists, believeing
that socialists are mistaken and that
the democratic remedy is better, but
it Is time for thoughtful people to
recognize that Individualism can only
be retained and defended by reme
dial legislation which will remove
the abuses which have been allowed
to fasten themselves upon the coun
try. The democratic party, believing
in Individualism, addresses itself
earnestly to these abuses, and Instead
of ridiculing and maligning the so
cialists, Invites them, as It does re
publicans, to examine the democratic
platform and the remedies proposed
therein. It submits its plans to the
honest citizenship of the country,,
without regard to section or party.
In my notification speech I called
attention to three demands made by
our party. It asks, first, that the
government shall be taken out of the
hands of SDeclal Interests, and re
stored to the people as a whole; It
asks, second, for honesty In elections
and publicity in regard to campaign
funds, that the people may freely
choose representatives. In sympathy
with them and pledged to guard their
Interests; It asks, third, for such a
modification of our governmental
methods as will make the senate an
elective body, and place the control
of the house of representatives In the
lianas of a majority of its members.
A few days ago, in discussing the
tariff question, I dwelt upon the
fourth demand made by our party,
namely, that taxation be Just, that
the revenue laws be made for the
purposo of raising revenue and not
for the enrichment of a few at '.he
expense of the many, And that the
tariff law be supplemented by an in
come tax which will more nearl7
equalize the government's burdens.
Today I present another demand
made In our party platform the de
mand that the grip of the trusts be

broken, that competition bo restored
and that the door of opportunity bo
opened to tho business men and the
tollers of the land.
Industrial independence is neces
sary to political independence. The
free exercise of the rights of citizen
ship Is Impossible when a few men
control tho Industries In which mil
lions are employed. God forbid that
we should compel the wage-eainera
of the nation to adrcss their petitions
to trust magnates and ask for their
dailybread. Alieady we have seen,
how prone the monopolist is to make
emp'ovmpnt c'pnrncl upt n tho willing
ness of tho employe to prostitute t
l.jilut to the bervlec ol his lorporate
master.
This question should be settled
now; wo can not affoid to bequeath It
as a legacy of woo to a succeeding
generation. Tho conscience of (he
people is alieady awakened, and the
conscience is tho most potent force
of which man has knowledge Wheie
law makes one righteous, conscience
contiols an hundred; where one Is
kept from wrong-doing by fear of
prison doors, a thousand are restrain
ed by those invisible walls which
conscience rears about us- barriers
which are stronger than wnlte of
granite It is upon the conscience
that human institutions rest, and
without a stirring of tho rm
science no groat reform is posiib'r
To a national conscience already
aroused we appeal, with the pledge
that a democratic victory will mean
the ringing out of industrial despo
tism and the ringing in of a new era
in which business will be built upon
its merits, and In which men will
succeed, not in proportion to tho co
ercion they may be able to practice,
but in proportion to their industry,
their ability and their flde'lty.

Largest In Radius of Sixty
Miles.
"Canton has grown to be one of tho
argest horso markets within a radius
if sixty miles,' saldva prominent local
horse dealer to the "Morning News"
Tuesday afternoon.
Within the last year, Canton has
usurped the place held by Orrvlllo and
villlorsburg, as a horse center of this
part of Ohio, and the truth of tho
bovo statement Is vouched or by sev
eral other local horsemen. The open
ng of many large sales stables In
""anton has brought tho city into tho.
'ront rank of the horso markets of
Ohio, and the indications are that tho
local horse trade will continue to in
crease.
For many years Mlllersburg nhd
Orrvlllc have occupied, and they do
yet, high places among tho horso cen
ters of this part of tlie state. Tho
horse traffic In those maces donslstB
mainly of' the sale and shipment of
largo draft horses, and the sale of
these animals flourishes only through
the fall and winter. In Canton a
large variety of horses are sold the
year round.
Among the local sales stables, where
horses and outfits are auctioned every
Saturday, Is the Canton Horse Ex
change, which Is probably the largest.
From forty to sixty horses are dls-'
posed of there every Saturday. Among
the other' stables which help to mako
Canton a. large horse market, are
those of Sheitzer and Fry; the Camp
