THREW UP HIS HAT.
The story OF CocIsrcIIs Election 4,
the United states senate

The story OF COcigrcII's Election, 10
the United states senate
The truthful story is told I'm Missouri
that the throwing OF a broad brimmcd
hat 10 the ceiling OF the hall OF the
house OF representatives In the capitol
at Jefferson city made Francis Marion
Cockrell a member OF the United States
senate. The state had been stirred by
contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the governorship. The lines
between supporters OF opposing candi-
dates were sharply drawn. In n state
convention numbering n thousand dele
gates Charles IL. Hardin had won by
the narrow majority of one-half OF one
vote. SO close was the result and SO
bitter the feeling that the Democratic
leaders feared irreconcilable division in
the party ranks. The-Fesult. however.
had scarcely been announced from the
secretary's desk when the tall figure Of
the defeated candidate. General Cock
rell, was seen coming TO the platform
y moment more as the hush of expec-
fancy fell upon the crowded hall. Cock
relIs voice rang out. NO man." said
he, will more Loyalty support the nom
inee OF The convention than myself. No
man viii throw his hat higher for
Charley Hardin than will l." And
away TO the ceiling went the broad
brimmed COckrell hat. The conven-
ton, frantic with enthusiasm. heard
not another word. But the following
spring General COckrell became United
states senator by the unanimous vote
Of the Democrats Of Missouri For
five successive terms after March 4.
1910, with never a Democratic vote
against him. he was elected to the sena-
torship, the first political Office he ever
held. No senator from his state sur
passed his record in length Of years.
and none equaled it, save Thomas
Hart Benton. the great Missourian.-

The Way This l. Aided by Improper
Methods OF Feeding.


Methods OF Feeding
The really important question is. In
what does predlsposition consistg We
talk OF man Catching cold" But
IT would be more correct and equally
graphic 10 say that the cold has
caught the man, for il does catch
him unawares ana often when he
least anticipates It, But no cold ever
caught any man unless he had first
prepared the ground for II by a careful
process Of fertilization.
No amount Of mere exposure TO n low
temperature alone will cause a cold"
In n perfectly healthy man in whom
the product Of wear and tear Of nerve
and muscle with adequate excretion Of
waste products on the one side is even
" balanced by food supply aud exercise
or the other. Where this equilibrium
does not exist such exposure then on
crates as u chill"
Now, who are the people who are
liable 10 catch cold? Not those whose
dietary is so carefully adjusted 10 the
work they have 10 do that there = no
opportunity for the accumulation OF I'M
used foodstuns IN their tissues. but
those who in the better fed ranks OF
society eat and drink more than they
need TO meet the daily requirements OF
their bodily activity and are thus con-
unually storing up in their tissues and
excreung organs material which If an
propriately used would form valuable
ammunition for the development of
energy either OF body or mind. but
which when stored beyond a certain
point has TO be blown OFF in n cold,

STOCKHOLDERS and Juries.

UNDERSTANDINGS between us and our GUS

We do our hardest TO settle all suits

OF the New York Central have a
direct interest i'm the Beech Creek
mines in Pennsylvania. Last year
the West Virginia mines cut into
the business of these Pennsylyania
mines enormously. Now it is an
nounced that freights on coal from
the Flat Top and New River fields
To tide-water are to be advanced
25 cents a ton. OF course the rail-
road people will be ready with all
kinds of smooth and plausible ex-
plantations and excuses; but the
cost of hauling a ton Of coal any
given number of miles is 4 matter
of mathematical demonstration, al
most To the fraction of a cent. The
items OF fuel, labor, wear and tear,
oil, and interest on investment are
the same day after day. The Ches-
apeake and Ohio used to haul coal
TO Newport News from these same
mines at 50 cents ton. Probably
that was in the neighborhoOd of
cost. Between 50 cents and S1.35
the price for several years past,
there is a long margin. Now it is
proposed to make the rate 81 Leo.
The proposed increase can have
no justification on any sound bust
ness principle. 1t Is an attempt
to force reversal of business
principles, TO defect trade from Its
natural sources and directions. to
force a distant product into com
petition with one near by, to over
come the laws of supply and de-
mand. TO destroy the elements of
cost of production, quality. distance
and preference. The rights of
stockholders of the subordinate
railroads. of the general public. of
the States Immediately concerned
and of the railroad mine owners
and their armies Of working people
are diSregarded.
There must be some way of deal
ing with such a proposition. We
have courts, corporation and rail
road commissions, the interstate
commerce commission and the leg
islatures and executive forces.
Certainly among all these there
must be some direct remedy. avail
able within reasonable time. Ii
there Is no direct remedy, the
States and people must take indi-
rect methods of making their
power and their just anger felt. If
the railroads are made by those
who control them TO declare war
against the people. the representa-
tives of the people in executive
and legislative Offices should meet
the challange promptly and strike
back hard and swiftly. There are
many ways to make a railroad cor
poration feel the hand of the law
heavily and TO teach its owners.
