Mr.. Tnlman in his speech to give color

Mr. RaWlins challenged Mr.. Burton to
point out a false statement he had
made.
Paraphrasing the remarks Of Mr..
Rawlins, Mr. Burton inquired:
when the senator asserts that we are
pursuing in the Philippines a barbarOus
policy-a policy that is blaelxer than that
of Philip 1 of Spain, the blacklist, in
fact. in all history; and when he says
that Taft and Chaffee and Wheaton and
Macarthur and Funston are carrying
this policy Of barbarity into effect, what
language does he expect me to use, in
characterizing the statement2"

Of Mr.. Rawlins from the record. the

Mr.. Burton devoted a great part of
his speech to a defense of General Fun

Carmack, of Tennessee. He ridiculed
the Tennessee senator's discussion of
General Funston and sarcastically sug-

camp. over against the whitening sar-

he said, he placed the record of General
Funston. He then quoted extensively
from letters and docun ents, paying 2
handsome tribute to Funston. Among
other facts developed it was shown that
Funston had participated in So engage
ments in the Philippines, in % of which
he was in command of the American
forces.

RAILROADS WIN.
Decided They Need Not Furnish
Elevator Site.

Attorney General GODDARD has given
written opinion to the state board of
railroad commissioners in which he says
the board has no authority to compel
railroad to give a site for an elevator
on its right of way to a private indiVid-
ual or to a corporation.
Several months ago complaint came
before the board from Marquette, Nc
pherson county, against the Missouri
Pacific, asking that the railroad COM
pany be compelled to give an elevator
site. Two or three similar complaints
were fled against other roads The
board heard the cases. but never made
any formal orders in any of the cases.
It simply recommended" that the re-
quests for elevator sites be granted. The
Union Pacific and some other roads
complied with the recommendations,
but the Missouri Pacific refused, deny
ing the power of the board to compel It
to do so.
D. W. Finney, then a member of the
board, thought it had power to make the
railroad companies obey, but A D.
Walker and J. NJ. Fike, the other two
members, though differently. Recently
two or three other complaints Of the
same nature have come before the
board, and Attorney General GODDARD
was requested to give an opinion on the
subject He has done so, and in his
opinion he says:
In reply to your query as to whether
you have the power under the law to
compel a railroad company to lease a
portion of its right of way to a company
or individual for the purpose of erecting
a grain elevator thereon, 1 desire to say:
1T is the common law governing COM
mon carriers that they must carry for
all who present freight for carriage,
charging equal prices to all and furnish
ing each shipper equal facilities for load
ing and unloading merchandise Hence
from the standpoint of a shipper It
would seem proper that in cases where
elevator rights had been given on the
| right of way and further rights of that
/ character are necessary for the public.
a railroad company should be compelled
! to grant such necessary right to erect
and operate elevators, and the legal
reason for allowing this to be done
/ would be stronger at a station where
elevator rights had been granted which
/ are insufficient for the public accommo-
dalton than at q station where no such
rights had been granted, as in the latter
case there is no question but what all
shippers are being treated alike. OF
| course the need of the public for an ele-
| vator is greater at a station where there
| is no elevator than if one were operated
| there; but there is less Of legal ground
| for compelling the granting of such
| right

question from the standpoint and rights
of the railroad company. it will be seer

TO an individual or corporation the right
TO erect and maintain an elevator on
its land IS to compel a railroad com
pany to give a lease hold interest in its
property to another, and that this lease
hold interest is property of the railroad
company there can be no doubt. Meth
er can there be any doubt but what
an order of the kind mentioned, If en-
forced, would take from the railroad
company the right to use and control
the land occupied by the elevator, and
this raises the question as to whether
or not such an appropriation OF the
ground OF the railroad company is a
taking of property without the due pro-
cess of law such as is forbidden by the
constitution of the United States This
question mas been answered in the al
hrmatiVe by the supreme court OF the
United States in the case of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway company VS.. the
state of Nebraska, 164 Z. S 40S. The
board of transportation of Nebraska,
under a statute almost identical with
ours, made an order directing the Mis-
souri, Pacific TO grant to certain per-
sons the right to erect an elevator on
the land of the railway company at a
station at which similar rights had
previously been granted by such COM
pany and the elevators erected in pur-
suance thereof were admittedly made
quate for the acconam odation of the
public The railway company refusing
to allow the elevator to be built was
mandamused in the supreme court and
a peremptory writ was granted, from
which an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States. where
it was held that the order of the Ne
braska board requiring the railroad
company to surrender a part of its land
to private persons for the purpose of
maintaining an elevator upon it. was a
taking of property without due process
of law, and was therefor a violation of
the fourteenth amendment to the feder-
al constitution.
Il am therefore compelled to advise
you that in my opinion you do not have
the power to lawfully compel a railroad
company to lease a portion of its right
of way to a company or individual for
the purpose of erecting a grain elevator
thereon

CEREALS OR MEAT.
A Prepared Food Helps to Solve the
Problem of Good Living.
PRICES OF nEAT 90 up.

While the average hOusekeeper may
be ignorant as to whether a beef trust
s-Ss been formed or whether the in
crease in the price of meats is due to
other causes, if she is woman Of mod
crate means, she has become convinced
that she must turn to something ex-
cept animal food for the main fare of
her family" says the Buffalo Express.
1T is not an entirely new thing, this
advance in the price Of meats, and it is
even rumored that prices have not yet
reached their limit, but certain it is that
the cost Of living for the average family
has increased rapidly Of late until meat
has become an article of diet that must
necessarily be eliminated from the daily
fare Of the very poor and has become
almost a luxury even to those who have
a moderate and usually adequate
amount to spend upon the family food.
To-day domestic science and public
opinion have joined in teaching an i'm
portant lesson to rich and poor alike,
the necessity Of consuming body build
ing food, supplying material that will
keep nerves, muscles. bones, flesh and
brain in the proper condition, feeding
into the human engine the fuel needed
to make good the constant waste"
A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich,
has produced a food especially intended
to supply more nutriment than meat.

about one cent a meal It is called

ment for the body and greater strength
and vitality for the brain and nervous
system, and is an economy that reduces
the cost of housekeeping to the mini
mum and at the same time pleases the
palate.
Crape-Nuts is condensed food, and
about four teaspoonfuls with cream is
sufficient for the cereal part of a meal.
1t requires no cooking or preparation Of
any kind, and is ready for immediate
use and suited to the labOrer, athlete,
