Heart disease kills suddenly, but
never without warning. The warn
ings may be faint and brief, or may
be startling and extend over many
years. but they are none the less
certain and positive. Too often the

1T will pass away" Alas, it never
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
ter OF itself. If DR.. Miles Heart

covery is absolutely certain in every

King George and King Trust.

In 1776 it was contest between the
people OF America and King George;
in 1900 it is a contest between the
people of the United States and King
Trust, and the question to be settled
is: Shall the inhabitants of any state,
territory or possession of the United
States be taxed without representa-
tation? This is not the whole of the
question, indeed, but the statement
covers the main principle. "A Atlanta

Government by the Railroads.

Senator Cullom's bill amending the
interstate commerce act, the chief
object of which was to prevent dis,
elimination in railroad rates, has met
with defeat at the hands of the senate
committee on interstate commerce.
The measure was introduced on Jan.
II of the present year. Those of the
committee who are opposed to the bill
managed until last week to prevent
any action on it whatever. When
finally forced to decision they ordered
an unfavorable report.
In view of the result it is interest
ing to examine the character of the
opposition to measure which is so
manlfeStly in the interest of the pub
lie and yet cannot fairly be criticised
as unjust to railroad interests. The
committee on interstate commerce, to
which all railroad legislation is refer
red, is composed Of eleven members.
OF these the following five were in IA
Vor of the Cullom bill: Cullom, Chan
dler, Illlman, Chiffon and Allen. The
SIX senators opposed to the measure
were: Wolcott, Cen, Lindsay, Elkins,
hean and Aldrich. All six have rail
road affiliations. Senator Wolcott of
COLORADO is general manager of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway. Sena-
tor Gear OF Iowa has family ties in
common with j. W. Blythe, general
solicitor OF the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy. Senator Elkins of West Vir-
glnla is yice-president of the West
Virginia Central & Pittsburg railway.
Senator Kean of New Jersey is closely
allied as a capitalist with the Penn
sylvania system. Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island is allied with the rail-
way and corporation interests of his
section. Senator Lindsay was former
counsel for the Louisville & Nashville
railway.
II it be true that the interstate
commerce committee of the senate is
controlled by men thus directly affili-
ated with railroad interests, and that
thelr power is used in the manner die
tated by the interests of the roads, in
defiance of public sentiment, it be-
comes proper to ask how long this
government by the railroads and for
the railroads is to continue.
would become the railroad mana
gers OF the country to ask themselves
: II They are not carrying this thing too
far. They may yet bring about a re-
action that will make it difficult for
railroad interests to secure even fair
treatment when they go before legis-
lative bodies. The people will not con-
tlnue indefinitely to submit to the
humiliation of seeing just measures
that are of vital Importance to the
public welfare strangled at the dicta-
tlon OF selfish lobby.-Chicago Rec
ord.
1t will be further noted that the six
senators faVoring the railroads and
their discriminating rates were all re-
puollcanS, prominent among them
being senator Gear of Iowa.
