Railroad Tactics to AlIay oppositioRs
! [Chicago Tribune.1
| Reports have lately been spread b.
| the railroads that owing to the large
| increase in expenses, which is cutting
down their revenues, important i'm.
provements they had planned for the
coming summer will have to be aban.
doned.
| These reports. it is asserted, are Civ.
en- to allay the bitter feeling caused
among western shippers, merchants,
and manufacturers over the large adj
vances lately made by the western and
eastern roads in rates on all kinds
| of merchandise and commodities.
| Scarcely a week passes that the rates
| are not given a twist upward, and SO
remunerative are the rates now that,
with a large decreased tonnage, the
earnings are far in excess of what
I, they have been during the previous
three years of prosperity.
| While operating expenses on most
| roads have increased from 10 to Is per
cent, the rates have been advanced all
the way from 90 to so per cent, and in
some instances the advance Is fully 100
per cent.
| The injunction issued by the United
States courts against rate cutting nave
caused a strict maintenance OF rates
and the savings Of millions OF dollars
formerly paid out to shippers for re-
bates alone amounts to far more than
the increase in operating expenses.
1t is safe to say that no necessary
| double tracking or improvements in
the physical conditions OF the roads or
| the building of necessary extensions
will be stopped on account Of the in
ability Of the roads to earn enough
| money to undergo such expense.
| Most of the large railroad systems in
| the west have during the last year or
two added largely to their capital by is
suing new stocks and bonds for the
alleged reason that such improvements
| have become an imperative necessity
to meet present requirements, and few
roads pay for large Improvements or
extensions out of their earnings. They
needs all the earnings they can make to
pay large dividends to the syndicates
which control the roads and to keep up
the price of stock.
| That the earnings are increasing, and
not falling off as alleged .by the rail-
roads, is shown by a statement just is
sued showing that gross earnings Of all
railroads in the United States which
have thus far issued statements Of
earnings for January, made
gain of SO per cent over last year and
| 17.7 per cent over 1901. There are I'M
cluded in these earnings many OF the
leading systems which continue 20
show heavier tonnage than last year.
when traffic was unusually large. There
is an increase in earnings on all classes
of roads, the western lines making
large gains over all preceding years,
with excellent prospects for q CONTINUE

ALL TRUST LEGISLATION ENACTED.

ALL TRUST LEGISLATION ENACTED.
Congress has now accomplished all
the antitrust legislation that will be
adopted at the present session. from
the present outlook, and it is such as to
meet the wishes of the president. The
program was completed when the Ell
kins bill was passed by the house. The
president and two branches of congress
have been acting in harmony to bring
this about.
Four enactments have so covered the
ground that all the power needed by
the government, from the present out
look. is placed in the hands of the pres
ident, the attorney general and the
courts to attempt correction of abus-
es. Briefly outlined they are:
First. an appropriation of $4,000, to
be used by the attorney general in the
employment of expert legal talent in
the prosecution of suits against monop-
olies under the various acts for their
regulation.
Second-The passage of the bill to
expedite cases pending in the federal
courts against monopolies
Third-The publicity amendment and
the machinery for carrying it into eff
feet contained in the bill creating the
department of commerce. This bill was
put into the hands of the attorney gem
eral for his approval as to Its constitu-
tionality before receiving the signature
OF the president.
Fourth-The passage by the house of
the Elkins anti-rebate BILL"
An analysis of these various trust
remedies shows that the Ekins bill ap-
plies to transportation companies, and
lis intended to put a stop to the giving
OF special rates, rebates or discrimina-
tion to shippers, an evil which has been
generally complained Of by both rail-
roads and shippers.
The publicity feature in the depart
ment of commerce bill is made to apply
only to industrial corporations, and this
publicity is to go only to the extent of
Information to government officials for
the purpose of regulation and supervis-
Ion.
The bill making antitrust cases In
the courts preferred" legislation on
motion of the attorney general meets
the approval of the law department of
the government and the corporation
which have been proceeded against. A
notable instance of this is in the case
against the Northern Securities Conn
pany, in which both Mr.. Morgan and
Mr.. Hill have complained that the delay
in reaching a decision is tying up CAPT.
tai and creating an uncertainty with
reference to future plans.
The money given to the attorney
general will strengthen his hands
greatly in the preparation of cases, the
taking of testimony and even the argu-
ing of cases before the courts, as it will
enable him to secure the services of
high priced attorneys in special causes,
These measures are not drastic
ers," but in their prudently drawn fea-
lures lies the safety of legitimate busi-
ness enterprises, and they ought to sat
1sfy all interests.

CONSUL LOWERS FLAG
AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE IN
TURKISH TOWN INSULTED.

Davis, at Alexandretta, Assaulted by
Local Policemen, Who Take Ameri-
can Citizen from Custody of Con-
sui with Armed Force.
Constantinople, Dec. 9.-The United
States flag over the consulate at Alex
andretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been
hauled down and Consul Davis has left
his post for Beyroot in consequence
ing which Mr.. Davis was insulted and
assaulted by the local police.
The affair grew out of the arrest of
an Armenian, Channes Attarian a nat
uraliZed American citizen. Attarian
had been in prison at Aleppo during
the last two months and had just been
liberated through the intervention of
the American consular agent on con-
dition of his leaving the country forth
with. Mr.. Davis was accompanying
Attarian on board departing steamer,
when the police intercepted the party,
despite the resistance of the consul
and his attendant guards. rearrested
Attarian and took him back to prison.
Mr.. Davis Immediately lowered the
flag of the consulate and formally
broke off relations with the Turkish
authorities by quitting Alexandretta,
leaving the consulate in charge of the
vice consul. A mob of Moslems seized
on the occasion to make hostile dem
onstration against the consulate and
against the Christians generally.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in Civ
ing it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. 1t is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best. It
always cures. For sale by Nick Dof-

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
MIR. Roosevelt Advises Congress
CountrY's Condition.


country's Condition.
Washington, Dec. Son the assem-
bling of the senate and house in the
Fifty-eighth congress the presidents
message was read In it he endorses
the work OF the new department of
commerce and labor and says control
of corporations is a necessity of mod
ern business. Corruption in the post
Office department and land offices is
denounced and funds asked to prose-
cute frauds. Satisfactory conditions
exist in the revenue and monetary
systems and but little legislation is
needed. The reference of the Venezu-
elan matter to The Hague tribunal he
considers long step toward the
worlds peace. The work of the Alas
kan boundary commission is character
lied as eminently fair to American in
terests. Congress is congratulated on
the steady progress in building up the
American navy and reference is made
to the necessity of building up great
merchant marine. Regarding the 18TH
milan canal he says: The question
row is not by which route the isthmian
canal shall be built, for that question
has been definitely and i-revocably
decided. The question is simply
whether or not we shall have an 18TH
milan canal. The course of events has
shown that this canal cannot be built
by private enterprise, or by any other
nation than our own; therefore it must
be built by the United States"

Persistent Office Seeking.

Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton university, in an address at
Chicago on patriotism" said that
president Roosevelt owes his high po-
sition to the fact that he was a politi-
clan who did not care to hold office"
President Wilson should look up the
facts before he attempts to teach peo-
pie. Mr.. Roosevelt has been one of the
most persistent office seekers, and is
now engaged in a stumping tour for
the nominal ton for the highest office.
The first office he held-in the legisla-
ture of New York-he diligently sought
directly he had concluded his education
at Harvard university. He then was
appointed on the United States civil
service commission. Then he was New
York police commissioner after that
assistant secretary of the navy, resigned
ment as colonel of the rough riders. At
the conclusion of the war with Spain
he was elected governor of New York,
having sought the office most strenuous
ly. 1t is true he protested for some days
against being nominated for vice pres
ident, but while saying nay consented.
and thus by accident became president
of the United States. If there Is a
more persistent office seeker and office
holder than Theodore Roosevelt the
record has been most successfully con-
cealed. So ,a..s,,. \
