There is no defect of the eye capable
of more harmful results than short
sight or myopia, often denominated
near sight
Other eye malformations cause PAIN
headaches and eye aches, but short
sight gives no warning, yet is one of
the most dangerous conditions.
From constant effort to see perfectly
without proper glasses the eye takes on
a malignant growth and gradually be-
comes elongated, causing ruptures and
hemorrhages, finally breaking down in
its entire structure.
Glasses used timely will often prevent
serious results.

In addition to these facts the railroad
world has Leen brought to realize that
all the railroad power west of The Mis-

events during the past two weeks have
brought this situation prominently to
the attention of railroad men. The
first was the reopening of negotiations
between .ne Goulds and the Rock ls,-

joint gulf route and the other was
the announcement made in New York

RAILROAD INCREASE IN SOUTH.

Close. observers of the railroad situa-
ton throughout the country are struck
by the fact that while the great trunk
lines have benefited most in the freight
movement of the past ten years the
ratio of increase was greatest in the
south and N the southwestern and
gulf states When, on the other hand
the fnacial results are examined 1t is
shown that the northwestern railroads,
while not showing as large gains in
tonnage as compared with the roads of
the south and southwest, have bene,
fited more than all the other states in
propcceionate pecuniary returns.
The reason for this is said by eX-
perts to be due to the fact that the
measures tor operating economically
have Leen brought 20 their greatest
perfection by the northwestern roads.
In addition to the natural increase in
traffic this financial gain is said to rep
resent the results of improvements, in
tracks and facilities and the develop
ment Of a high average train load.
It is in the northwest that the best
comparisons are to be found. Not on
ly do the amounts and ratio OF the
gross and net earnings exceed the cor
responding averages for the United

GORMAN SEES DEF EAT.

It is becoming apparent that Demo
cratic opposition to the Panama treaty
is disappearing SO rapidly that 1t VII
be extremely difficult to secure tna
caucus actiGn on the question OF fatl
flying the instrument. If Senator Cor
man shold insist on this course he
would undoubtedly be confronted with
ih. announcement of at least twelve
.and petAa1s fifteen of his Democratic
colleagues to the ef.s.t that they would
vote to ratify the treaty. There may be
enough of them to constitute an actual
majority in the caucus.
In either event the senator from
Maryland vii, not insist upon caucus
decision, for that would be useless,
Every Democrat will be frep 10 follow
his own inclination or the desires OF
his constituents.
The situa,o on Is s.-.e Of peculiar irri-
tation and disappointment to MI Cor
man and a few of his Democratic fol
lowers who aided him ia bringing about
what they believed would eventually
prove TO be a cohesive and aggressive
party organization.
When they consented to the ad2p-
ton Of the proviso that senators should
be relieved of caucus obligations upon
the demand of the legislatures OF their
several states they did not dream that
TIE legislative machines would be in
yoked against party discipline within
few weeks.
It is now suspected that the south
ern senat tcTs who originally expressed
determination to vote for the treaty
and subsequent entered into the eau
sible for the recent action of the Louis
lana legislature and it is further sus-
pected thai they are endeavorng to
bring about special sessions of other
southern legislatures for the same pur-
pose. Pers c.ls who nave watched the
course of the southern Democrats in
the United States senate for five or six
years past entertain grave doubts
about the ability of Mr.. German or
any other leader to hold them tcSeth
