Tho senate cornmirtoe On l~rfSrg.ate

gave out to the newspapers what appears
to be a challenge to President Roosevelt
on just how farthe committee woul 60
in the proposed legislation to control
railroad rates. THE discussion in the
committee says the Washington Post,
developed that the members present
were absolutely opposed to President
Roosevelt in his desire that the inter
state commerce commission or some
other body be given the power to fix
railway rates" In addition TO throw
ing down that gauge of battle the com7
mittee gave out a series of semiofficial
statements. amongst which were the
following:
"Thattheinterstatecommeree commits
sion will not be given the power to fix
rates. Upon this point the members Of
the committee who attended yesterdays
meeting were unanimous.
That the committee believes that the
authority now possessed by the inter-
state commerce commission to issue an
order condemning a rate as unjust and
to appeal to the federal courts to enforce
the order is sufficient.
That the committee is of the opinion
that the interstate commerce commits
sion has too many duties, and the pro-
posed bill will provide for curtailing the
extent Of it's functions"
These three propositions of the repub-
lican majority of the committee, for it
is certain the democrats, if present,
would not have Joined in such a manifes-
to, indicate that the railroads are de-
termined to push their opposition to leg
islation to the bitter end, and that their
republican senatorial allies will stand
by the corporations. The audacious
proposition that the bill they propose
will provide for curtailing the func-
lions of the interstate commerce COM
mission, because it has too many duties,
is virtually an Endorsement of the hon
est purpose of the commissions efforts
to carry out the present imperfect law.
What course President Roosevelt will
take to reply to these senators has not
yet been disclosed, but in self-defense,
it is tolerably certain, it will hasten his
call for an extraordinary session of con-
gress. Whether the railroad influence
will control the republicans of the house
Of representatives has not yet been re-
yealed, but if there are 60 republican
members who will stand by the presi-
dent these will be sufficient. with the
democratic members, to pass any rea-
sonable reform measure through the
house.
1t is certain the people favor giving
the interstate m commission
enough power to prevent the people be-
ing p~lundered by unreasonable rates.
and if the republicans of the United
States senate stand out against such
reasonable legislation they will in due
time have to reckon with public opinion.

The LOST CHORD FOUND.
Chee-tully Supplied by Long-suffer
ing Victims of a Neighbor-
hood Nuisance.

He was a young man in lodgings and he
was learning TO play the cornet. There
was no disputins the earnestness and per
severance of this embryo cornetist, relates
London Tit-Bits.
Every evening during the late heat wave
he threw his window open and blew away
at the Lost Chord" 1t was ever the
Lost Chord"
In the commercial-room Of the hotel op-
posite the knights of the road sat,
scribbling off their orders and hurting
anathemas at the head of the young man
player.
Finally they held a council of war and
determined on his destruction.
Cutting off a window cord, they rang
for the boots and ordered him to take
it across to the musician, with the fol-
lowing note:
Dear Sir: Make no more trouble over
your Lost C(hlord. We send you a sub
stitute which we hope you will find long
enough.
We will arrange with the coroner and
guarantee a decent burial"

ANOTHER BIG MONOPOLY.
The Farmers and Organized Labor
Demand a Parcels Post to Com
pete with Express Companies.

AS grinding a monopoly as the trusts
or railroads is the express combine.
Although there has been no open con-
solidation of express companies, there
is no competition between them and
there is not much doubt that "a gen.
tlemen's agreement exists such as the
beef trust has. The express companies
charge ''all the traffic will bear" and
a good deal more in many instances.
On small packages under four pounds
in weight they compete with the post
office, except the points west of the
Mississippi river and on printed matter
they beat Uncle Sam on his one cent
a pound rate, showing ere must be
a profit on the lowest rates they
charge.
The organized farmers-the oranges
and alliances-have long protested
against the unreasonable express
charges and have been demanding that
the parcels post be enlarged to COM
pete with the express companies. The
labor unions are now joining in the
demand and calling upon President
Roosevelt to urge this matter. as well
as the control of railway rates, Upon
congress when he calls the special ses-
sion.
The retail business me have been
great sufferers from the express mo-
nopoly, but they seemed to have tired
Of protesting against it's extortionate
charges, but perhaps will arouse them
selves again to action when congress
meets by joining In demanding Of their
senators and representatives that the
parcels post measure be passed. More
than one United States senator is di.
rectly interested in the express com
panies and nearly every senator holds
a frank which entities him to face ex-
pressage. A goodly s%prinkling OF
members of the house are tarred with
the same brush.
These express franks and railway
passes have had a good deal TO do with
exempting the express companies and
the railways from hostile legislation,
II you want a parcels post or control
of railway rates urge your congress-
man to vote for these reforms and
promise that If he does not carry out
your desire your vote will be recorded
against him for denomination ana cleo,

That Rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad,

Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
Of her cure as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years

year | could not do as much as a baby

then a relapse. Then a year ago the

Do You Use Your Own Judgment

Do You Use Your Own Judgment?
Lion Coffee is a package coffee that
reaches the homes OF the people just as
it left the factory where it Is roasted
and packed.
The beans are picked and carefully Sc
lected at the plantation, then shipped dI-
rect to our factories to be prepared for
home use.
The most ~scrupulous care is taken with
every process, and the utmost cleanliness en-
forced in every operation. Men and ma
chinery employed in making Lion Coffee
ready for the market are chosen on ac-
count of their excellence and fitness fer
the work. y
: Some of the results of this scrupulous
treatment of Lion Coffee are a delicious
flavor, perfect purity, and a uniform
strength and quality.
All loose Tor bulk coffee is open to
doubt-to put it mildly. The buyer does
not know, the seller does not know, where
the bean came from, or how it was
roasted, or where and when; how many
hands handled it, what kind OF hands
they were, what contamination it re-
ceived from dust. insects, dirt, etc.
Lion Coffee is pure, fresh and clean
that much is certain. Loose coffee
there isn't anything at all certain about
it except that wise housewives will not
buy it!
Ali grocers know the above to be true.
There may be a very few left who will
try to persuade Won another way.
II they do, just ask them how they ac-
count for the increasing popularity of Lion
Coffee in millions of homes for the past
quarter Of a century!
