Cofey County Populists Opposed to
Him For State Senator.

A. j. Jackson, a Waverly Populist.

sion nomination of William Deford of
Ottawa, for senator in the Franklin
Coffey county district Mr. Jackson ex-
plains his position in the following let
ter:
1T is Coffey countys turn for the
nomination by right of alternate sue
cession- The Democrats did not consult
the Popuiists as to the candidate but
expect them to meekly endorse the OF
tawa- man.
THE rank and file of the Populists of
the district desire to see H. L. Cooper
of Waverly nominated and feel that il
would be foolish to endorse Defcrd
when so many Populists will not sup
port him, and in refusing to support
Deford, would carry the county ticket
down to defeat.
THE party will not tolerate any kind
of bossism or chicanery and this mad
better be fully understood now than
later on when voting time comes.
tut as I have stated we do not be-

great error of naming Deford for sena-

the party and in the name of harmony.
Justice and success at the election this

standard bearer. and then Billy Deforl

from the race and leave the field open
to Mr. Cooper who will be elected by a
handsome majority

ANINTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple,
Convenient; Cures Every Form
of Catarrh.

The use Of inhalers, douches, sprays.
salves and powders for catarrh is
nuisance and inconvenience at the best
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal use
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat Of the
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumatism or kidney trouble, the
excessive secretion in nose and throat
being local manifestations Of a deep
seated poison in the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal RENE
dies, is composed principally of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
causes them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no ener-
waiting drug whatever. but are compos-
ed of Guaicol, Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar catarrh antisepties, and are so
safe and pleasant that even little child
rem may use them with excellent re-
suits.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair Of a radical cure IN.
til a trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for fifty centa.

RAILROAD news.
Santa Fe Management DiscOn-
tinues "FIyers.''
Last Limited Train Will Leave
Los Angeles Today.
WILL BE A NEW TRAIN
Equipment of Limited Trains
Will Likely Be Used.
Summer Schedule Will Probably
Go in Effect July 1.

The Santa Fe management has or
dered the California limited trains dis
continued. No more limited trains will
be run out Of Chicago, and the last
east bound flyer will leave Los Angeles
this evening.
This action means that the flyers will
not be operated between Chicago and
the Pacific coast after the opening Of
the line into San Francisco. The equip
ment may be used and the service be
less than daily, but the trains will not
be run on a limited schedule. Much
local work will have to be done in the
west.
The two questions considered by San
ia Fe officials in reference to train
service after the opening of the San
Francisco line has been the continuance
OF the limited trains and the Inaugural
ton of daily overland trains similar to
Nos 1 and 2. The matter has not yet
been fully decided. the only point de-
termined upon being the discontinuance
of the flyers. 1t is not unlikely that
the limited equipment will be used in
operating first class gilt edge" over
land trains several times each week.
The date of the summer schedule has
not been named, but it goes into effect
no later than July /.

WHAT MIGHT BE.
Possibilities of Government Ownership
of Railroad Discussed.

In an article entitled Turn On the
Light" M. N, Butler of Topeka speaks
pertinently of the. question of govern
ment ownership of railways and tele-
Railroad Telegrapher.' Mr.. Butler ad-
vocates government ownership, and
gives his reasons as follows:
"On government owned railways in
Germany you can travel four miles for
one cent. Wages of employees are 125
per cent higher than when operated by
corporations. In ten years net profits
increased Al per cent. In a single year
the government made a clear profit of
$685. 900 900. The state railway at Berlin
sells annual tickets for five mile rides in
and out of the city, at the volition of
the purchaser, for $4.5 O,and if the holder
goes to the city in the morning and
home at night he travels 1850 miles a
year. If he goes to dinner and returns
to the city after supper, as many do,
it means over 10000 miles travel for less
than SIS.
Australian government-owned roads
sell 1000 miles travel, first class, for
$780, and workingmen ride six miles
for two cents, twelve miles for four
cents and thirty miles for ten cents.
Wages there are 25 to 80 per cent high
er, it seems, for eight hours work than
for the same labor here for ten hours.
In Victoria, at these rates, the railways
pay all the federal taxes.
In Belgium, government ownership
reduced railway freightS and fares one
half, and doubled wages; then the year
ly net revenue to the government is $4,-
600, 900.
In Hungary, since the government
bought the railways, you can ride six
miles for one cent, and wages have
doubled.
New South Wales owns all railways.
street car lines, telegraph and tele-
phones All government mail and
freight are carried free Employees work
eight hours per day. Engineers get
So. so and common labOrers 81. 80 per day.
Passenger fare is one and one-half
cents per mile. Yet the 2570 miles of
railway carried 1900, 900 passengers
and the net government profit per year
is IS. 100000
Are not Americans just as capable of
owning and operating successfully gov
eminent railways, telegraph lines and
other giant enterprises. as any people
on earth?
ION a government-owned railway a
person could travel from Boston to San
Francisco for only $40. The United
States pays $275 for a postal car be-
tween those two points. A passenger
coach would carry fifty passengers,
which, at $40 each, would be $500, or a
net profit on each coach of 1925, after
paying 5 per cent on 100 per cent of
Watered stock"

MAY HELP CLEMENS.
RumOred That Ex-Governor
LeWelIing Will Support
Socialist.

The latest rumor in Populist circles
is to the effect that Ex-Governor L. D.
Lewelling will in the coming campaign
identify himself with G. c. Clemens
Socialistic party, for the purpose of
fighting the election of John Breiden-
thai to the office of governor.
The men who have been fighting
Breidenthal prominent among them
being LewelIing. seem to have made up
their minds that Breidenthal has cap
tured the nomination. but they do not
seem to be satisfied to abide by the re-
suit of the convention in the event
Breidenthal is named.
Mr.. Lewelling has not expressed him
self publicly on this proposition but the
report that he will work with Clemens
and openly oppose Breidenthal's cleo
ton comes from men who claim to be
in position to know.

TAKES SHOT AT GERMANY.
Congressman Bailey of Kansas Intro
duces Retaliating Measure.

Washington, May 29.-As the result
of conferences today between President
J. W. Springer, Of Denver, of the Ma
tional Live Stock association, and mem
bers of congress. relative to the Ger
man meat inspection bill, the following
bill was introduced in the house by
Representative Bailey CKas.):
That whenever the president of the
United States shall be informed that
the government of the German en-
pire has passed a law imposing pro-
hibitCry duties on meat products which
may be imported into that country
from the United States he shall issue a.
proclamation fixing a time when all
articles produced or manufactured in
the German empire when entered for
consumption at the ports of the United
states shall pay a duty of ten per cent
in excess of the duties imposed thereon
prior to the passage of this act; and
all such products and manufactures
when so entered for competition after
said time fixed by the president shall
pay such increased duties
The bill was referred to the ways and
means committee, and Mr.. Springer
saw members of that committee with
a view to urging early action. He said
as to the measure:
THE National Live Stock association
is the largest organization of its kind
IN the world, representing over $500, 009.-
600, and with it are federated on this
subject the American Short-Horn
Breeders association, the National
Hereford Breeders association and
some hundred live stock organizations.
We feel that the live stock industry is
singled out by the German empire for
direct discrimination, and all the stock
people will feel the effect of such ac-
ton. They feel. too, that the time has
come for the allied stock interests of
the United States to speak out in no
uncertain tones, and they hope to di-
rect the attention of congress and the
| government to the situation. All the
| live stock states are deeply interested
IN what is being done and are DESTROYS
! OF having adequate measures to over
come this discrimination by Germany

PHILIPPINE RAILWAY.
John Haisch Tells of the Proposed
Government Line.

John Haisch Tells of the Proposed
Government Line.
John Haisch, ex-general manager of
the Manila and Dagupan railway was a
caller at the Rock dsland offices in this
city recently.
He spoke of the proposed new railway
system soon to be built by the United
States government in the Philippines.
The proposed line will start from Bula-
can, about fifteen miles north of Ma
nilas and will run in a zig-zag direction
north through a fertile valley to a point
in one of the northern provinces. The
length of the line viii be about IT'S
miles. The northern terminal will be
Tuguegarao, in the state of Cagayan
The line will be built through towns
with an average population of from
$4,000 to 100000. The land in this valley
is very rich and all Kinds of native
grains and fruits grow in profusion
There is a range of mountains on either
side of the valley completely shutting
off any communication with the coast
except by a long and circuitous route.
For this reason the resources of the
country have never been developed It
has been too difficult to find a market
for the products. Rice sells for about
81 per hundred more on the coast than
it does in the interior. BY this railroad
being built through this section of the
country an immense trade could be
worked up.
Another proposed line will extend
south from Manila to Albay. This line
will be about 175 miles in length also.
Besides this there viii be about so miles
of branch lines, making in all probably
over 400 miles.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Advance in Price of Material Takes
Much of Railroads Revenues.

AS an example of what the railroads
must run against in the purchase of
rolling stock in these days of high
prices, it is said that forty-foot furni-
ture cars on which bids were made one
year ago at 1851, this year in April were
bid on at 1915. Freight cars that in 1898
were bought for $442 now cost $500.
Lists of all of the common materials
used around the railroad shops showing
the comparison of prices with a year
ago, prove that everything has ad-
whole making an average of 43 per cent
advance. The heaviest raise has been
in manufactured steel and iron.
In ordering engines and cars, the con-
dition is found that every manufacture
ming full capacity with orders ahead
for months.

From the Atchison GIobe1
A letter received yesterday from E.
w. Howe, editor of the Globe, relates
that both he and his son Eugene, were
very sick four days out of the seven IN
crossing the ocean; las sick as any
one could be and live They were
met at the station in Paris by Frank
