The Advocate and news., 1898-03-16

last week, was to require from the cor
pOrations Of this State statement Of the
sums which may have been expended
by them for political purposes. Mr.. Nc
Nall has learned that at least two Of
the corporations have made plans to
purchase legislation In the State of Kan
sas, and he proposes to find out all about
the business. The abuse which is now
being poured upon the devoted head Of
Commissioner McNall would lead one to
suppose that he Is actually engaged in
a piratical enterprise. But he Is doing
simply what he has sworn to do. That
is, he wants to divert the money OF these
huge corporations from the pockets Of
the corrupt politicians and into the pock-
cts Of the policy holders, where 1t be-
longs. But instead Of coming TO his
aid in this laudable effort, the influences
of our social system are being aimed
against him. He Is announced as an
archistic and as demagogue. 1t is no
wonder that our public officials do so
little to protect the peoples rights when
all they get in return for display Of
public spirit Is torrent Of misrepre-
sentation and abuse. Commissioner Nc
Nall Is a hero, and 1t is to be hoped that
IL he wins a victory he will put little
spirit into officials In other States.

expired, out no uOLlceaDl6 Improvement
Of the wretched times Is manifest The
tide will soon set In strongly against the
Republican party unless the depression
in business is altered. Idleness and want
breed bitter discomfort, which will
never be overcome until there are ample
employments. People at present will
turn to any leadership that offers prom
ise Of better times, believing that worse
times can never come than those now
existing.
Ignatius Donnelly, in the Representa-
tive: There can be no question that the
condition Of the black people of the
South before the war was much better
than that Of millions of white people
to-day. There were among the negroes
no starvations, no suicides, no insane,
no bankruptcies no great crimes COM
mitted to get something to eat They led
happy, Contented animal lives; with
plenty Of plain food and no anxieties.
They were cared for in infancy and
nursed in old age. Do we mean to argue
that domestic bondage should be re-
stored? BY no means. But society Is at
fault when liberty brings more miseries
than slavery did. What does our boasted
progress and culture amount to when
a large majority of those who produce
everything are pinched and impOver-
ished, while a small minority who pro-
duce nothing, riot in useless affluence?
The mechanical arts have vastly ad-
vanced, while the arts Of government
have stood STILL There is more sorrow
In the world to-day than there was 300
years ago. The opportunity to expand
over new world has brought many Of
these results.
American Banker: Financial interests
had a genuine though unfounded feel
ing this week that a war with Spain
was imminent. Not that the diplomatic
situation had changed for the worse, or
that positive information Of an unfavor-
able character had been received respect
ing the origin of the catastrophe to the
Maine, but rather because public appre-
hension had reached its climax. We
have been contemplating war with Spain
ever since the beginning Of the insUr-
rection in Cuba; we have almost COM
mitted ourselves to the policy Of forci-
BILE intervention; it Is generally believed
that sooner or later we shall enter upon
that policy. However easy 1t was to
glide over the incident created by the
De LONE letter; however easy 1t may
be to pass through the dangerous crisis
which the tragedy in Havana harbor
has injected into our relations with
Spain, the overshadowing cause of our
attitude toward the government remains,
and tends to become more and more ag-
gravated. We have offered Spain time
to settle her Cuban difficulties, but no
progress in that direction seems to have
been made. The rebellion goes on, suf-
fering increases, and both nations ap-
pear to be coming closer and closer in
hostile contact. But while these clouds
are gathering it is wonderful to note in
governmental circles as well as among
the people calm and dignified facing
of the issue. This attitude will make
it possible for us to have war, If war
must needs come, with honor. War
without honor is an inexcusable barbar-
ism in any people. If fight we must, it
should be upon the highest possible
grounds.

GROWING CHILDREN.
The Period When the Nervous Ac-
tivity is at Its Greatest.
The Home Doctor.

The Home Doctor.
Against the practice of giving tea
and coffee to children, we cannot speak
too strongly. Childhood is the period
when the nervous activity is at its
greatest The brain is ever busy re-
ceiving new impressions. Reflex ac-
ton, coordination of muscles, and the
special senses are all under a special
course of training.
The nervous system is pushed to it's
utmost capacity, and long is the list
of victims that follow it's over-stimuIa-
ton. In these little people nothing but
harm can come from the use of such
cerebral stimulants as tea or coffee
Bad, then, as this practice is, let US as
physicians be aggressive in its prohi-
bition.
Do not be satisfied by answering
mo" when asked as to its use, but let
US teach the families with whom we
come in contact that such practice is
evil. We speak emphatically, because
not only among the poor and uneduca-
ted, but among the rich, who should
know better, this practice is marvellous
ly prevalent"
Children like a warm beverage for
breakfast and it is well for them to
have it if the drink is a food and not
drug.
Postum Food Coffee is made to sup
ply a rich nourishing liquid food with
a crisp coffee taste, for those who can
not. ana SAOu1Q not use cOTeG. Ana
lysis shows it to contain about fourteen
per cent of muscle forming elements
and 66.11 per cent of energy and fat
producing elements, which go to nour-
ish and sustain the delicate nerve cen
tiers throughout the body and from
which the vital energy proceeds
The supreme Importance of proper
food in place of drugs is not generally
understood, but, the success of child
or adult depends largely upon proper
sustenance for the body. Children who
depend upon the intelligence of their
elders to furnish them with good food
deserve our most careful attention and
thought upon this subject

LEE TO JOIN BLANCO.
Report From Havana is Denied

Havana, Jan. SIT is rumored that
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, United States con-
sui general will accompany Capt. Gen.
Blanco when the latter takes the field.
It is further reported that Senior Es-
trada Palma, the deIegae to the United
States of the Cuban insurgents will ar
rive here shortly and accompany the
captain general and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
to the field and that a conference with
Gen Maxine Gomez will follow.
Washington, Jan. S.-No confirmation
of the preceding story is obtainable in
Washington.
At the Spanish legation it was posi-
lively asserted that no advices on the
subject had been received from any
quarter.
New York. Jan. S.-The rumor that
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee would accompany
Capt. Gen. Blanco when the latter takes
the field, is looked upon by the mem
berS of the Cuban junta as highly i'm

SHOT IN THE BACK.
A Prominent Memphis Physician At
tackled by Woman.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. S.-A sensation
al tragedy occurred on the banks of
Nonconnah creek, in the outskirts of
Memphis yesterday afternoon DR.. S.
A Rogers, professor of anatomy at
the Memphis Medical college, ex-presf-
dent of the board of health and one of
the most prominent physicians of the
city, was shot by Mrs. Mary Sand
brink a widow, and lies in dying con
dition at St. Josephs hospital. After
shooting DR.. Rogers, the woman turned
the revolver to her breast and sent q
bullet through her heart. No one wit
messed the shooting.
A farmer and his hired hands went
to the assistance of the wounded man
when his cries for help reached their
ears and he was lifted into a buggy
and carried to Memphis for medical
treatment. DR.. Rogers was shot in the
back, the bullet striking the spinal
column. The body of the unfortunate
woman was removed to the home OF
her relatives.
Before Iapsing into Inconsistencies,
DR.. Rogers blamed the woman for the
deed saying that she had decoyed him
TO the place by writing him a note It
is said that she was infatuated with
the doctor and on one occasion had
threatened to kill herself in his pres
ence. The family claim that DIR. Rog-
ers had broken an engagement to mar

case is very strong here for such public
ownership.
'eThen there are the monopolies that
are sometimes called natural monopo-
lies, such as street railways, water and
electric light plants. Here to there IS a
growing tendency towards public oper-
alton, or regulation.
ownership of street electric lamps and
is now moving towards similar owner
ship of waterworks and this IS typical
of the whole country. Where such
ownership is impractical then regula-
ton by the publication of accounts
should be attempted, in such way as
to require these companies to snow TO
the people where and how their mon
eys were expended.
THE absolute prohibition of stock
watering must come soon, and with II
will come the demand of the people to
control also the rates of charges, which
must be conceded as the next best
thing.
such regulation is often very diff
cult to procure because of the great
pressure of the corporations brought to
bear upon the bodies intended to regu-
late them. In all these cases where
public ownership is adopted, the spolls
system must be abolished. All engi-
neers and technical employees must be
elected and kept in office solely because
of their efficiency
With reference to steam railroads,
Mr.. Bennis believes the country is not
quite ready to take hold of that propo-
sition, yet he believes that the day is
coming when the theory of public own
ership of public utilities will be realiz-
ed.
He suggested that the government
should first experiment with the tele-
graph or telephG2e, and after acquir-
ing efficiency attNnl2t the railroads Mr..
Bemis sees in the 2acific road from
Ogden to the Pacific coast an OppOr-
tunity for the government to expert
ment with the operation of a railroad.
Prof. Bemis thinks the interstate COM
mission is not as brainy or fearless as
those whom they are compelled to meet
from the railroads in the disposition of
questions of public Importance. He
thinks stronger men should be placed
on the commerce commission and on
state railroad commissions. He also
declared in favor of an income tax. In
closing hS said: Instead of being a
government of the people, for the peo-
pie, this is a government of the poll
tician for the corporations. The poll
tician should be set at hoeing corn and
the people should run the government"

FOR A GREAT THEATER.
Managers Hudson & Judah Want ..
New Playhouse in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan. S.-Messrs. Hudson
& Judah. managers of both the Coates
and Grand Opera Houses, have decided
to embody their 20 years experience of
theatrical management in this city in
a building that shall meet all the re-
quirements of a perfect theater. This
resolution has doubtless been brought
about in a measure by Mr.. Alex Fras-
er's decision to rebuild the Auditorium
on a larger and more ambitious scale
than before.
Details of the enterprise are as yet
meager. Both Mr. Hudson and Mr..
Judah are making strenuous efforts to
keep the matter from the public until
such time as they see fit to make their
plans known. Remor has it that the
new building will be somewhere in the
immediate vicinity of Eleventh and
Walnut streets, that it will surpass in
size and finish anything of the kind
ever before constructed in this city, and
that work is to be begun upon it i'm
