prefers to do i'll. We desire to set up a
moral standard. There can be no delu-
sion more. fatal to the nation than the
delusion that the standard Of profits, of
ing any business or political question
from rate legislation to municipal govern
ment: BUSINESS success, whether for the
Individual or for the nation, is a good

duct-honor, integrity, civic courage The
Kind OF business prosperity that blunts
the standard OF honor, that puts an in

government stands for manhood first and
hood.
!, The question of transportation lies at
the root of all Industrial success, and the
revolution in, transportation which has
taken place during the last half century
has been the most important factor in the
CROWN OF the new industrial conditions
Most emphatically we do not wish to see
the man of great talents refused the re-
ward for his talents. Still less do we wish
to see him penalzed; but we do desire to
see the system of railroad transportation |
so handled that the strong man shall be |
given no advantage over the weak man. |
We wish to insure as fair treatment for |
the small! town as for the big city, for the
small shipper as for the big shipper. In
the old days the highway of commerce,
whether by water or by road on land
was open to all; it belonged to the public
and the traffic along it was free At
present the railway is this highway, and
we must do our best to see that it is kept
open. to all on equal terms Unlike the
old highway it is very difficult md
complex thing to manage, and it is Jar
better that It should be managed by
private individuals than by the govern
ment. But it can only be so managed on
condition that justice Is done the public.
It Is because, in my judgment, public
ownership Of railroads is highly undesr-
able and would probably in this country
entail far-reaching disaster, that l wish
% see such supervision and regulation

books or memoranda should be open to
the inspection Of the government Only
IN this way can violations or evasions Of
the law be surely detected. A system Of
examination of railroad accounts should
be provided similar to that now conducted
into the national banks by the bank
examiners; a few first-cass railroad ac-
| countants, If they had proper direction
and papers, could accomplish much in
preventing willful violations Of the law.
1t would not be necessary for them to
examine into the accounts of any railroad
ed to do so by the Interstate Commerce
commission. It is greatly to be desired
that some way mi ght be found by which
an agreement as to transportation with
upon the federal interstate commerce
laws could be drought under the juris-
diction Of the federal authorities At
present 1t occurs that large, shipments
or interstate traffic are controlled by con-
cessions on purely state business, which
OF course amounts to an evasion of the
law The commission should have power
to enforce fair treatment by the great
trunk lines OF lateral and branch lines.
l urge upon the Congress the need for
expeditions action by the Interstate Com
merce commission in all these matters,
whether in regulating rates for Transport
property or commodities in transit. The
history of the cases litigated under the |
present commerce act shows that it's |
efficiency has been to q great degree !
destroyed by the weapon of delay, almost !!
the most formidable weapon in the hands i,
Of those whose purpose it is to violate |
the law.
Let me most earnestly say that these
recommendations are not made in any
spirit of hostility to the railroads On
ethical grounds, on grounds of right, such
hostility would be intolerable; and on
grounds Of mere national self interest we
must remember that such hostility would
tell against the welfare not merely of
some few rich men, but of multitude of
small investors, a multitude Of railway
employees, wage workers.; and most Sc
verely against the interest of the public
as whole. I believe that on the whole
our railroads have done we'll and not Ill;
but the railroad men who wish to do we'll
should not be exposed to competition
with those who have no such desire, and
the only way to secure this end is to
give to some government tribunal the
power to see that justice Is done by the
exactly as it is gladly done by
the willing. Moreover, If some govern
ment body Is given increased power the
effect will be to furnish authoritative
answer on behalf Of the railroad whenever
irrational clamor against it is raised or
whenever charges made against 1t are

ONE OUGHT TO KNOW
HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE Or
CANS OF DIGESTION.
A Course of Treatment That Really
Cures Indigestion Instead of Mere
Iy Relieving Symptoms.

There are plenty of remedies by
which you can relieve for the time
heartburn. pain and gas in the stom-
ach and can smother nervous sensa-
tions and induce artificial sleep. But
when you take your next meal all
your troubles begin afresh.
You can humor your stomach by
giving it predigested food. Still there
isn't much fun in that kind of eating
and when you want to get some pleas
ure out of your meals again, you find
that your stomach is weaker than ever,
There is only one sensible thing 20
do Strengthen. the stomach and when
it is once in proper condition it will
do its work better than any process
devised by man can ever do it. When
il is again strong don't abuse it. Choose
rational food and study the effect even
of that. as yours may at best be a
freakish stomach.
For a weak stomach, a lazy stom-
ach, broken-down stomach you need
a tonic that will rouse the stomach to
do the work that will keep it robust
The best remedy ever found for this
purpose is one used by Mrs Nettie
DarvouX, of Detroit, Mich, whose re-
covery from dyspepsia of nine years
standing attracted widespread atten-
ton in September last.
Mr.. Strong read with interest her
statement that she had been cured of
chronic dyspepsia by few weeks use
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. He had
suffered in the same way most of his
life and just then was having a very
severe attack He began the same
treatment at once and in few months
wrote that he. too, had realized COM

Multitudes of cases that had defied
all other remedies have been quickly
cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. E.
E. Strong lives at Capleville, Shelby
county, Tenn. The remedy which he
used with such success can be found
at any drug store.
While so promptly effective, DR.. Will

stimulants or opiates. They are per

blows for fun than he has for money.
He is a smiling, good natured lad, but
he is always ready for battle at a mo-
ment's notice
1t was Britt's fierce hunger for bat
tie that made him best Cans recently
The negro was clever, strong, a great
ring general and a hard hitter. But
Britt went at him like a whirlwind,
blocked off his blows or took them with
equal Indifference and still kept rush
ing in, delivering smash after smash.
If ever a pugilist had an excuse for
quitting 1t was poor Cans, already jad-
ed by the effort to reduce to 1873 pounds.
Britt knocked all the fight out of him,
making him drop to the floor again and
again without being knocked down. AL
though Britt lost the decision on pal
pable foul, he was easily the better man.
1t was the moral superiority that
inspired Britt. So far as mere phys
ical strength went the negro was his
equal, but in vim, dash, ferocity, the
unconquerable determination TO sue
coed, the white boy was far the su-
perior
James Edward Britt was born in
1880 south Of Market street, San Fran
cisco, the district locally known as
south of the slot" His father is a
plumber who has grown rich on big
contracts and has also served as su-
pervisor. James is five feet six inches
tall, with big shoulders and chest. a
fifteen inch neck and the body of a
welterweight. His hands and feet are
small. He has blue eyes that are mild
In repose, but blaze like searchlights

Jimmy began to box by stealth be-

Is the Best of British
LightqOeights.

The coming lightweight fight between
Jimmy Britt and Jabez White, the Eng
lish champion, is the most talked Of
feature in the pugilistic world.
These clever lads will meet before
the Yosemite club of San Francisco
toward the close Of this month. Those
who see the meeting of these two little
physical marvels will see something
that has not taken place in this country
In many a day, an international prize
fight The Pedlar Palmer-McGovern
affair in Tuckahoe, \. Y, few years

Any kind of a sporting contest with
an international flavor to II Is inter
esting, and that probably is why the
sport loving populace throughout the
entire country is all wrought up over
the coming match, and its outcome IS
being widely discussed.
Whites Backing.
White has $4,000 backing in Eng
land against Britt and he has come
here under the management OF Charlie
Mitchell, who well knows what it is to
try to win an American championship
and, If experience counts, how to go
about II.
As far as confidence goes, both as to
the fighters and the public, 1t is Greek
against Greek, for offsetting the Brit
ons' assurance is the fact that Britt
took OH White for a little sure mon
ey" before risking his laurels at the
hands OF Battling Nelson.
Best In His Class.
In England White is the best in his
class. For months he has been anxious
TO meet the clever boys Of this country.
He is clever and can hit. While he Is
perslstently being knocked" by men
who never saw him fight. Referee
Charley White, who saw the English
lightweight battle with Spike Sullivan
in London during coronation week in
June, 1902, thinks White has a chance
with any lightweight in this country.
White fights more on the American
style than any other boy in England.
Several times Americans have trained
in his place, and he carefully watched
and learned their every move. He Is
shifty, has an effective, clean punch
with either hand and is exceptionally
cool in the ring.
White is a trifle tall for his weight
which gives him an advantage. He has
been fighting since he weighed 100
pounds and understands the game thor
oughly. He is quiet and very modest.
over in Birmingham he has a little
family who are wishing and hoping for
his success. There also he has a profit
able business, which bears out his
shrewdness. White is not only q sue
cessful fighter, but clever enough to put
his success to gain.
His plans in this country are not
