This Il Meant for You.

lthas been truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few of us have perfect
health, owing to the impure condition Of
our blood. But we rub along from day.to
day, with scarcely thought, unless forced
60 our attention, of the thousands all about
US who are suffering from scrofula, salt
rheum and other serious blood disorders
and whose agonies can only be imagined
The marked success Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
for these troubles, as shown In our adver.
Using columns frequently, certainly seems
to Justify urging the use OF this excellent
medicine by all who know that their blood
is disordered. Every claim in behalf Of
Hoods SarsapArilla is fully backed up by
what the medicine has done and is still do
ing, and when its proprietors urge its mer-
its and its use upon all who suffer from i'm
pure blood, in great or small degrees, they
certainly mean to include you.-Gd.

A general baggage smashers' convention
will be held in Chicago this year. 1t will
not be formally called but the work of
handling millions of trunks and grip sacks
will bring thither large additions 70 the
ranks OF the professional gentlemen who
can hurl an able-bodied trunk with such
precision that it WILL land on one corner and
break open nearly every time. Weare glad
that the general baggage agents at their
recent meeting discussed the subject of
rough handling Of baggage, and will take
great pains to reduce this evil to the lowest
possible proportions. In fact, baggage
smashing is by no means as com
mon as formerly. 1t is rare that
trunk is broken msliciouslv
or by gross carelessness in handling: ell
though it is true that the great haste in
which the transfer Of baggage to and from
wagons, stations and trains Is made the ex-
cessive size and weight of many pieces and
the cheapness of construction which is COM
mon combine to cause considerable dam
age in the aggregate. The railway COM
panies will do all that they can by strict
rules and the effort to employ careful men
to insure the safe handling OF baggage, and
the travelling public should cooperate by
making the number, size and weight of
trunks as small as practicable and by using
reasonably strong trunks instead OF flimsY
pine, rope-tied boxes that are liable to fall
In pieces il a baggsgeman accidentally
swears at them.
There are many inquiries from people not
connected with railroads of the meaning Of
the technical expression "differential,n so
often used. An explanation may be of
some interest: 1t may refer to a railroad or
TO rate charged by that railroad on
freight or passengers. A differential rate
is one lower or higher than the so-called
standard" rate. Nlnety-nine times in 100
it means lower rate It always has that
meaning unless the word ''above" is added
as "a ditfereatlal rate above the standard
rate" AS an illustration, the standard
passenger rate between Chicago and New
York is $50. This rate is charged by the
Lake Shore, Michigan Central and Penn
sylvania. These three lines, for various
reasons, would take almost all OF the bust
ness between Chicago aud New York if all
lines maintained the $50 rate. But the
Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, Nickel Plate.
West Shore and various other routes are in
existence. They must carry their share
and after ndmberless rate wars it was de-
cided they should quote differential rates to
all competing points with the three roads
first named. Arbitrators decided that a
difference Of 50 in the rates ought to coun-
terbalauce any actual difference in the
lines, and the three last named roads con-
sequently charge SIS between Chicago and
New York. The SIS rate is differential
rate, and the roads quoting it are differ
entail lines. The same meaning exactly sp-
plies to freight rates.

possession Of many people that tie fall

a novel, and her shorter work is proportion
ately well paid for.
The king of Sweden has conferred the
order OF the North Star upon Senor Eche-

the readiness with which he consented to

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.

Daring the year 1903 some 73 railroad
companies found themselves in the
hands Of receivers. The bankrupt roads
have a mileage of 81 ,s7S miles, and are
capital zsd at s1,0l1, ,esi,O0O in bonds
and stocks. Nearly one-iifth of the rail
roads OF the country are today being
managed by receivers, and it is TO be
feared that the list is not yet completed.
These figures are simply stupendou',
and the mind fails to grasp their enor-
nous proportions although an illustra-
tion may serve 70 convey some approxi-
mate idea OF the amount OF money in
volved. Railroads whose bonds and
stocks at par would pay the national
debt Of the United States twice over are
bankrupt and in the hands of receivers.
When one recalls the mismanage-
ment, the reckless building of parallel
lines. the mad policy Of rate wars
between rival roads, the using Of roads
as footballs for speculative purposes,
the deliberate plottings TO ruin rival
lines and the exlravagance Of managers,
one does not marvel that there is a
growing demand on the part of the
people, who in the end have to pay the
bills, for government control Of rail.
roads. 1t is matter that affects every
business man in the country, every
home in the land. There is not a
family that does not in soms form or
other pay tribute TO the railroads, and
that far in excess Of the sum that would
be necessary were these gigantic cor
porations managed by parties directly
responsible for their Legitimate and
economical conduct. 1t is safe to say
that nearly 100000, 900 worth Of
property as represented by bonds and
stocks has been swept out of existence
during the past year, reckoning the
difference in value between these stocks
one year ago today and today.
1t is serious problem, a problem af-
fecting the entire nation, this manage
ment Of railroads. Ii can net be dealt
with by the states separately for these
roads most of them are interstate roads.
They can and do control states and
municipalities, and even congregational
legislation itself is manipulated too
frequently in their behalf, and up to
date the only solution that has appeared
is that of government control.

A SILYERITE WALL.

Governor Pennoyer of Oregon is an
interesting individual when he /. is
thoroughly walked up. He lacks the
vehemonce Of Governor Waite and has
been thought by some to possess more
common sense than Governor Llewel-
ling, but he has picturesque and indi-
v;dual features that chm not be gain
sayed. He has just delivered a letter to
the president in which he calls his
attention to certain distressing financial
conditions now prevailing and attributes
them to the failure of congress TO sus-
tain the Sherman act.
Governor Pennoyer is n subject for
pity rather than condemnation. He has
been reared in silver atmosphere and
his financial acumen has been blunted
and dwarfed. No doubt he believes
what he says. His letter is interesting
and recommended as an anti-dyspep-
sia specific. He kindly omits all
reference to blood and brides and
makes no plea for the homeless,
and worlSless tramp. He has several
points of superiority over his b other
governors Of Colorado and Kansas and
should be cherished and cared for until
reason fnally returns. He will then
make good citizen, although he prob
ably never will be governor again.

The American Protective Tariff league
in special and extraordinary session on
December 10, responding TO the earnest
request OF wage earners, unanimously
agreed that ii was necessary TO call upon
the press OF the United States to urge
every patriotic citizen TO assist in defeat
ing the proposed Wilson free trade tariff,
which is now before congress.
III this measure becomes O
law the demand for labor in all produc-
tive employments in this country will be
decreased. This will reduce the wages
and earnings OF every man, woman or
child among us; permanently lower the
standard of living in this country; and re-
duce the purchasing power Of our -wuge
earners who constitute the great con-
suming force I'm this land.
Every person, rich or poor, high or low,
old or young, who Is not in favor of lower
wages and less comfort in life, should at
once write postal card TO the congress
man from his or her district, protesting
against the passage of this bill and de-
handing that the Mckinley tariff be left
unchanged. Write a postal card today
and urge every friend OF yours to do the
same. Perhaps your effort will defeat free
trade and save protection.
