governments attempt to control rail-
road rates thru the medium of injunc-
tions issued by the United States cir
cult court. The connection between
the reply and the subject was soon
made plain by the celebrated railway
magnate and financier. He explained
that the injunction method of attempt-
ing to cure the evils that affiict the
traffic and transportation world wac
simply a subterfuge and futile at
tempt to arrest the progress of the ma
tural law Of the survival of the fittest,
The doctrine thus publicly espoused
by Mr.. Hill is one that has been ta-
booed in the railroad world ever since
the so-called community of interests
of the spirit engendered thereby began
operation.
When asked the question regarding
injunctions, Mr.. Hill at first replied
with another question: Does 1T not
seem strange that the railroads should
seek to be restrained from destroying
one another? They are seeking 1T. on
at least permitting it to be done with
out protest. 1t is as inevitable as
death that in the end the railroads
that are best equipped and best stu
ated to carry the traffic will get 1t, and
the rest will be forced into retirement
Yes, it will amount in the end to the
survival Of the fittest."
Mr.. Hill thought moment, and then
exclaimed: And pray tell me why this
should not be the result? Does not the
law speak of operate in everything
else. Why should it not operate in the
railroad world as we'll as in the conf
mercial world? Stop and think mo-
ment. Is there any logical reason why
one road that can not carry the traffic
as cheaply as another should say to
the latter Give me portion Of your
earnings or will destroy YOU"
ut is held by many railroad men,
1t was suggested, that the conditions
are different in the railroad world from
those ruling in the commercial world.
The rails and the equipment and the
franchises are there and can not be
torn up and thrown away"
why not?" demanded Mr.. Hill In
his quick, imperious way. "Is there
any reason why or anyone else should
be compelled to pay for the mistakes
that have been made In the invest
ment of capital in railroads which by
the very nature and conditions of their
surroundings can not be remunera-
tive? It is not so with manufacturing
plant. It is built. and If its operation
is at loss, If 1t can not manufacture
and market Its product as cheaply as
Its neighbor, what happens? Does its
neighbor hand it over a portion Of Its
business?
Don't for a moment be deceived by
any Of the many subterfuges that are
being employed to hinder the opera
tion of the law of which spoke. The
Of many states and the
national government are bending their
energies In that direction, but all the
governments and all the legislative
bodies In the world can not stop It's
operation. They may obstruct it, but
they can never arrest it's operation.
Therefore I say that the injunctions
issued by the courts to restrain re-
bates and secret rates are the merest
folly"

RAINFALL is PLENTIFUL.
Iowa Getting Plenty of Moisture With
the Tornadoes.

Iowa Getting Plenty of Moisture With
the Tornadoes.
Special to Times s-Republican.
Des Moines May 3.--Along with cy-
clones and tornadoes Iowa is receiving
plenty of moisture nowadays from the
copious rains that are falling in all
parts of the state. The rainfall for the
year is still below the normal, but the
chances are good that it will soon catch
up. Director Sage, of the Iowa weather
and crop service, is of the opinion that
the danger now is that the state will
get too much rain. The ground is we'll
supplied with moisture at the present
time, and while the soil is not satur-
ated 1t is wet enough to make every
thing grow without causing a stoppage
in the work of seeding.
The rainfall for the first four months
of the year was less than the normal as
will be seen by the following table:
Rainfall. Deficiency.
January ...... >. 49,. 81 .43
February 80. ...... so .76
March 90. ......1.15 81
April ..1.55 124
It will be seen that the greatest def
cheney was for the month of April.
Usually April is month of considera-
bic rain fall, but this year 1T was dry
until the latter part of the month. This
permitted seeding, which has often
been delayed, and which Is of the
greatest Importance. The rains are now
coming in time to cause rapid growth
of all grain.
Friday was one Of the warn1est days
of the spring 80 far, the temperature
rising to Sc during the afternoon. The
minimum during the day was 81.

Frank B. King, "a Chicago dealer in
women's shoes, at the Hotel Baltimore

"I sell few large shoes to country
dealers but find that city women ara
wearing larger sizes than ever before.
That is because city women want their
feet to look long and narrow. while
women in the country buy short, broad
shoes.
"Women's shoes vary in size from
Nos 21s to 8, and much as regret to
say it, Kansas City women have large
