leck Island viii Run Into St. louis
Soon.


District Passenger Agent A. 3.
Cooper Of the Rock Island was here
from Topeka in the interest Of that
popular line. He says the extension
Of the Rock Island is proving popular
everywhere. When the Rock Islands
new line, now building between Kan.
sas City and St. Louis, is completed,
that road bids fair to become the pop
ular line to the Worlds Fair as we'll
as to all points east via St. Louis.
The surveys for this new line have
all been made and work is being
pushed ahead rapidly at both ends Of
the route. Already over one hun.
dred miles OF the road is in operation
out Of St. Louis and 1t is hoped to
have the entire line completed early
in 1908.
This new line, known as "The st..
Louis Line" is destined to become a
most important feeder for the Rock
Island System. This is especially
true in view Of the holding of the
Worlds Fair at St. Louis. The line
when completed will be one Of the
short lines il not the shortest line OPP.
Grating between Kansas City and st.
Louis. The grades have all been
kept down to q minimum and all
curves eliminated wherever possible
to do so. Heavy rails are being laid
and extra precautions taken to make
the road strong and substantial in ev'
cry respect, 10 Withstand the heavy
travel which will necessarily come
upon its completion. No expense il
being spared in its construction.

The Coal Barons' side orthe Case

Walter WeIlman. whose revelations
respecting the situation in the
anthracite coal regions are suTpris-
ing the public and making friends for
the miners, calls attention, in the
Chicago Record-Herald, to a feature
of the strike that is n disgrace to
Pennsylvania and a reproach to civ
ilization. He says:
THE operators are playing with
fire. They are establishing their Pri-
waite standing armies. Pennsylvania,
politically the most rotten state in
the union. has a disgraceful law. By
il. mine owners go TO the big cities,
hire buns. eX-cOnyicts, discharged
policemen. drunken sailors. the riff
raft of the streets and lodging house
es, and bring them to their mines.
They recommend these hirelings to
the governor. and. without inquiry,
without knowledge, apparently with
out concern, the governor issues
commissions to them. The operators
put badges on their Hessians, place
weapons in their hands, and thus the
coal and iron police are created.
They have no character. at least none
that is good. They are irresponsible,
without training. discipline or judg-
ment. Yet they are officers of the
law. BY the terms of the statute
they are clothed with all the powers
of Philadelphia policemen. They act
under the orders of their employers;
they are. a private standing army
and such an armyi 1t is not surpris-
ing that these Hessians shoot and
kill boys in wantonness and plunge a
community into paroxysms of an

According to the following from

the Sioux City Tribune. there re-
mains something yet To be explained:
The coal operators are out in a
letter to- the public explaining their
side of the strike. which shows that
they are not wholly dead TO the inn
Portance of public sentiment. But
their defense, consisting of the claim
that they cannot adopt a uniform
wage scale because of different CON
ditions at the various mines. will not
be regarded as reasonable in the
face of the fact that they haze, no
difficulty i'm establishing uniform
prices for all the coal mined They
want TO benefit from different con-
ditiOns, but deny the same benefits
TO the coal purchasing pabIic.9 1t is
just as easy to pay the miners a uni
form price as it is ia tax the public

Secretary Root. in the authorized
interview told of in Yesterdays As
sociated Press dispatches, accepts
full responsibility for the payment
TO. General Gomez of large sums of
money by the late military govern
ment of Cuba. The secretary says
that the payments were dictated by
the highest ideals of craftsmanship;
that they were rendered necessary by
conditions which existed in Cuba.
and if they had not been made the
United States might have been
plunged into unfortunate and far
reaching difficulties. The secretary
adds that he is willing to furnish
congress with a complete itemiZed
statement of all moneys paid to
Gomez and an explanation of the
reasons why the payments were
made.
In view of the fact that the repub-
lican majority of the house arbitrar-
ily voted to table a resolution calling
for this and similar information. in
troduced by Il democratic member,
and that the senate is holding up a
similar resolution introduced by
Senator Culberson. of Texas, the sec
retary's expressed Willingness tn
make public the account between
Gomez and the Wood government
sounds like a bluff.
The democrats of both houses of
congress are eager to obtain the in
formation which the secretary says
he is willing to furnish. but inasmuch
as they cannot secure the passage of
resolutions calling for il. it will
probably remain locked up in the arch
ives of the war department until af-
ter the next congressional election.

4 young man in one of our large
cities was recently found in an I'M
conscious condition, and upon exam
nation it was found that he was dy-
ing of starvation. Food was given
in small quantities and in a few days
the patient recovered. There are
many other people starving them
selves because they are afraid to eat
good substantial food. Their stom-
achs are weak and cannot therefore
digest it properly. Consequently the
patient loses flesh and the blood and
nerves become impoverished. A few
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will restore the stomach to its nor
NAL condition and cure headache, in
digestion, dyspepsia, flatulency, con-
stipatiou and biliousness. 1t is the
best stomach strengthened and
health builder in existence. Try it

Changes in sunday dbserrances.

The other Sunday the pastor of a
Catholic church i'm New York took
all of his boys to a baseball field in
the afternoon and enjoyed a warm
game of ball. Cheering was forbid
den and swearing eliminated entirely.
Scrapping and jawing with the UNI
pire was also prohibited. The priest.
when demonstrated with for alleged
Dissertation df the Sabbath. replied:
1T is an experiment so far. but If il
works well il Will be continued dur
ing the summer. Boys might do
worse things on sunday" The Brook
lyn Eagle declares that the clergy
man is right, saying;
ANY sport not wantonly interior
ing with the rational observance of
Sunday. any sport which takes young
men and boys into the suburbs and
keeps them in the open air and sun
shine and away from the saloon and
street corners should be generally
recommended and encouraged. In
the recreation itself there is nothing
to degrade and much TO improve.
Sunday ball playing is a good thing
when practiced within reasonable
Imitation
This is an indication of change
that is coming over the country in
regard TO the observance of the Sab
bath. says the Peoria Star. and il is
highly significant when taken in CON
nectiOn with the altered attitude of
the churches themselves. Our Puri-
tan forefathers would have held up
their hands in holy horror at the
idea of kitchen attached to the
sacred edifice. or n Sunday meeting
where the sermon is secondary
consideration, and the chief attrac-
tion n song service. but il is only an
other illustration of the fact that the
Pews dictate to the pulpit and the
pastor breaches what his congrega-
ton wants to hear. 1t is. in fact, on
~ another illustration of the iron
law of evolution which operates in
ceSsantly and everywhere.
