Have You High Temper? Answer Before
Reading This.

Some people have worms and often
don't know it. The doctor is too polite
to tell them. Here are some OF the
symptoms: Sick feeling in chest, chok-
ing cough with tendency to gag, SUD
den uneasiness and pains in stomach,
itching around corners Of nose. All
these and more, indicrte worms. An
irritable temper is one OF the surest
signs OF worms in adults and children.
Kings Vermifuge is the cure, and 1t Is
sure. For very young children give
Kings Worm Candy. which is pleasant
tastes good. Children like it. The

braska shippers appeared and gave
testimony before the committee on
interstate commerce at Washington.
According to the Associated Press
dispatches, Mr.. Jansen, claiming to
be there as the representative of Ne
braska farmers, said:
1--WE do not want any rate regula-
ton. We feel that traffic managers
are nearer to us than any commission
could ever be, and we are satisfied
that they are always ready to meet
any reasonable man half way. The
present system of adjusting rates be-
tween shippers and carriers is perfect
ly satisfactory to u.s."
Poses as Disinterested.
If Mr.. Jansen of Jansen had been
square enough to represent himself
as he is, favored shipper, who gets
special privileges, his testimony would
be unworthy of notice, for these west
ern railroads can procure trainloads
Of these men, who will give such
testimony whenever or wherever it is
required by the railroad managers.
But when he poses as a disinterest-
ed and unbiased witness, as a repre-
sentative of the farmers of Nebraska,
and when, in this attitude he repre-
sents to the senate committee that
the farmers of Nebraska do not
want any rate legislation" he
lends himself to the propagation OF
a falsehood so palpable that even the
senate committee must have looked
upon him with contempt as he uttered
it.
It is a pity. For poor humanitys
sake. it is a pity, that in the higher
walks of life, where men are rich and
prosperous, where there is every rea-
son for them to stand upright, that
they can be procured to give testimony
and to bolster up with misrepresenta'
ton the corporation greed and graft
that rob their own communities.
Unfamiliar With Conditions.
To be fairer with Mr.. Jansen than
he has been with his freight-robbed
neighbor farmers in Jefferson county,
it should be stated of him that he
probably knows but little of the cruel
extortion which is put upon the COM
mon farmers and the common pro-
ducers and consumers Of this state.
Mr.. Jansen is no common farmer, and
of course is not expected to see the
freight question from the standpoint
of the common people. He admitted to
the committee that he shipped sew
eral hundred carloads of sheep each
year and that he pastured 10000
sheep annually. Mr.. Jensen neglect
ed. however, to tell the committee
that he knew but little about freight
rates in Nebraska, except the special
rates which he gets on the several
hundred carloads of sheep; neither
did he tell them that he ponds most
of his time riding on free transporta-
ton over the whole country, espe-
cially back and forth between the
United States and Canada, where he
has large landed interests.
Let us hope that Mr.. Jansen's testi-
mony was given to misrepresent them,
or to make an assault upon tie inter-
ests of the farmers of his state.
Iowa and Nebraska Earnings.
But now, for the information OF
the senate committee if it wants in
formation, let us examine the condi-

MORE LIGHT FOR FAVORED SHIPPERS
Facts and Figures to Dispute Those Who Testified
That Rates Are Satisfactory In
Nebraska

tons Of railroad business in Nebraska
and see whether it is as satisfactory
to the Nebraska people as it is to Mr.
Jansen and his railroad friends. The
people Of Nebraska are wanting what
the president has promised, "a square
DEAL" If it can be shown by the re
ports Of the Nebraska railroad com
panies that they make over seven
millions annually in net profits On
Nebraska business, in proportion tC
the mileage, more than they do on
Iowa business, will any of Mr.. Jan
sens acquaintances in Nebraska thank
him for indorsing that as square
deal? Everybody knows that rates are
from 80 to 40 per cent higher in Ne
braska than they are in Iowa. But
whenever this fact is discussed in
Nebraska, the railroad managers tel
us that they must get higher rates
in this state because of the lesser
mileage and population. Very well, il
the rates in force are not a fair test
then the net profits on the business
ought to be- According to the figures
of 1903, the only figures now OBJ
tainable, the Iowa roads reported to
the Iowa authorities that their net
profits on their 9,719 miles of road
were $15,O76, 1888, while the Ne
braska roads, according to their report
to the state auditor, made in net
profits on their 5,697 miles Of road
SIG, 425, 416.77. With only little more
than half of the mileage, the Nebraska
roads cleared $1,351,253.24 more in
net profits.
Where Jansen Needed Light
Mr.. Jansen did not know this when
he posed at the request of the Ne
braska railroads before the senate
committee. He simply knew that the
special rates which he himself was
able to get on sheep were satisfactory
to him, and when he looked around
and saw the other special privileged
Nebraska shippers waiting to testify,
and when he saw General Henderson
and other Nebraska railroad officials
waiting before the committee, it seem
ed to him that this little bunch" of
favored shippers and railroad officials
was about all there was of Nebraska
worth considering, and SO he said
to the committee: Nebraska con-
ditions are satisfactory to u.s. the
other favored shippers and the rail-
road officials echoing, ITO u.s." How
far short of representing the interests
of the American people is senate
committee that will give credence to
such testimony! And yet this same
senate committee, little later, in its
report, will probably be found quoting
the testimony of Mr.. Jansen from
Jansen, and finally applying Mr.. Jan
sens words to it's own decision, which
will be satisfactory to u.s."
One Claim Demolished
Blu now to go little further with
the net profit figures. The Iowa roads
in 1903 made a net profit per mile OF
road of $1,552.13, while the net profit
per mile of road in Nebraska was
nearly double that amount or $2,S83.17
Nebraska railroads with their extor
tionate freight rate system protected
from law by free pass bribing sys
TEN, made $1,331.14 per mile more
! than was made by the Iowa railroads
These figures completely demolish the
old thread-bare argument that rates
must be higher in Nebraska on &C

Is the present condition of affairs to
continue: Are we to live continually
III a state Of agitation, with the lives of
many of our citizens jtopardized :
Wherein hes the fault and what is the
remedy
The fault undoubtedly lies at the door
Of those who originated it, We care not
who they may he, whether organized
labor or coal companies.
Has labor the right to organize: Most
asSuredly, Or, if not, who has the legal
or even moral right to prevent?
Still, organized labor has no right to
interfere, nor hamper, nor hinder the
progress of the companies. Each should
SO possess the spirit of brotherly kind
ness as to study the interest of each
Shall this be? Why not
Again-the remedy is within the reach
of labor and company.
For instance, if the company has laid
down a rule rigid as the laws of the
Modes and PersianS that organized labor
will not receive recognition. and our men
knowing this beyonda doubt. and know
ing that because of their present circum-
stances, etc, they must remain in this
region. why not accept the present state
or condition of affairs?
Upon the other hand, for the safety
and good of our citizens, we do not be
lleve that the company has the right to
employ men and send them forth armed
to protect its interests when they have
already both the law and the means to
secure all necessary protection.
The writer believes this policy is a
menace to the best business and other
interests of our town, and to the we'll
beng OF every man, woman and child,
and that it is high time for the we'll
thinking people of our community to
awake and, with ii strong hand, grasp
the problem, and by some means or
somehow right all wrongs, remember
ing, as we should in all eXigencleS, that
"mlght is not right,
From recent occurrences "A great lesson
is To be learned-that of police prOtec-
ton. Who questions it? Who does not
see the appalling need? That our Fire
Department Is excellent is not to be
questioned. But think of our business
houses, and our homes watched over by
one lone policeman. RObberies, murder,
incendiarism can be perpetrated almost
anywhere, and yet the lone policeman
be faithful to his duties. With all this
we appear perfectly satisfied with our
condition. "A little folding of our hands
in sleep"
Let us ponder we'll, take to heart these
things, and, as men, come together and
because of justice and right, with
the New Year shall come to ErOStburg a

With ill-will toward none, but love,
right, and justice towards all is the sin
