Kansas To Fight the Standard Oil
COMPANY,

The action of the Kansas Legislature
in passing bills designed to curb the
power of the Standard Oil company in
that State has led to that gigantic trust
issuing orders to shut down all operations
in the sun flower State, which has arous-
ed the people of Kansas more than ever
and made them more determined to fight
the Standard concern. The bills which
caused the Standard Oil company to take
such arrogant and arbitrary steps were :
bill authorizing an appropriation to
provide for the construction Of peniten-
tiary in the oil fields for refining oil with
convict labor; bill fixing maximum
freight rates on oil; bill forbidding dis
crImination in the price Of refined oil for
the benefit of one town over another; a
bill to prevent cut throat competition,
from which independent re6ueries suffer.
The advocates of the bills believe their
passage would free the state from control
of the Standard oil company from the
rapacity of which they are determined to
protect themselves as it has been hold
ing them up on. both ends of the oil ques
tion by low prices for crude oil and high
prices for the refined article. The state
has successfully fought the Irvine trust by
manufacturing at its penitentiary enough
binding Irvine to supply the demand of
its farmers at one-half the trust price and
at profit of many thousands of dollars
for manufacturing it.
The great refinery to be established by
the state at Peru. Chautauqua county,
aided by the proposed legislation will
not only give the people of the state of
Kansas cheaper light but will also greatly
enhance the price of crude oil The bill
appropriating &Io, 900 for the building
and maintaining Of the refinery and pen
itentiary passed the Kansas House of
Representatives on Wednesday, having
previously been passed by the Senate.

Muscles In Tension.

The Revue Scientitique has been ask
ing what muscles tire soonest, with the
conclusion that it is not the muscles in
USE but those under tension, although
doing no work. The writer urges us to
use the arms and legs less and the back
and neck more, for on them comes the
greatest strain. He has been asking
men of all occupations the same ques-
tons:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired?
Before you were trained did fatigue
show itself in the same regions?
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains of fatigue in
his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but in his back
and loins.
The young soldier, after a march, is
especially tired in the back of the neck,
even if he has carried no knapsack.
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ing after prolonged exercise gets tired
in his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction.
That is to say, the body, like the mind,
needs change of work

Morton was, while the Republican
National Committee will continue 70
hold up the railroads aud trusts for
political contributions and black
mail.
| wonder IL il was because the big
railroad corporations refused TO be
held up by the Republican Nation
al Committee for contributions to the
Roosevelt campaign fund at the last
election, that our estimable .Presi-
dent is so very hot after railroad
rate regulation by a political CON-
mission. Certain things that have
happened lately would suggest that
there is good deal more than pro-
liability that this is fact, and that
his posing as friend of the dear
people" is all Rooseveltian bluff.
At the insurance investigations
now in progress in New York, il
has already been brought out in
sworn testimony that the New York
Life Insurance Company paid $780,
600 to his campaign fund, and in two
years had paid similar amounts to
the Republican National Committee.
This is admittedly the result of
merely scraping the surface. 1t is
certain to be developing that the
Mutual Life and Equitable Life con-
tributed at least as much and pos
sibly more to the same fund from
the savings of the policy holders
for the benefit of their widows and
orphans.
Perhaps you remember that when
the Equitable scandal was first un-
earthed an appeal was made to Mr..
Roosevelt to step in and protect the
policy holders OF the company. You
may remember too that Roosevelt
absolutely refused to interfere and
allowed things to take their course.
Any reason for this? 1t looks to a
man up tree as if there was mighty
good reason for it, and that reason
lay in tie liberal contributions OF
money TO the campaign managers
that succeeded in electing Roose-
welt.

fruge amendment.

Question. What are the issues in
volved in this campaign2
Answer. There is only one issue
Negro Suffrage.
Q. Who gave the negro the right
to vote?
A. 1t was given bin by the FIT.
teenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
Q. Was this Amendment adopted
by the State of Maryland
A. No. The Maryland Legisla-
ture voted against it unanimously
but two-thirds of the other States,
which had but few negro voters,
forced this Amendment upon the
Southern States. and turned loose a
horde of ignorant negroes to rule
over their former masters.
.. Did this result in good or evil ?
A. The result of this action was
that in all the Southern States there
was for years the worst kind of Gov
eminent. Carpet baggers with their
negro allies ruled the States and
bankrupted their Treasures.
q. What was done to remedy their
conditions
A. Some States resorted to one
expedient. some another. Some
formed Secret Societies TO overawe
the negro and keep him from the
PSiIs. Dot Tho only soai pottof fouua
was in so amending their Constitu-
tions as to prevent the negro from
registering and voting.
q. What has been the result in
those States?
A. The State Governments are in
the control of majority of the white
people, the negroes are better citi-
zens and good order and prosperity
take the place OF disorder and crime.
.. What States haveadopted these
Amendments?
A. Every Southern State in which
there are any appreciate number OF
negroes, except Maryland.
.. Why should Maryland adopt
such a measure?
A. For the same reason that urged
other Southern States to secure re.
lief. To make certain our State Gov
eminent will always be In the hands
OF majority OF the white people.
@. Why should anyone object 10
the rule of majority of white cleo
torate?
A. There can be no objection ex-
cept from individuals who desire IN
use the negro vote to advance their
own political futures, and who can
not secure a majority of the white
vote.
Q. What would be the result of
negro disfranchisement?
A. Any party would be compell-
ed to secure the Endorsement of a
majority of the white race.
@ Would this result be good or
evil?
A. Every Southern State that has
followed this policy will unquestion-
ably say, il results in good.
Q. In the thirty-five years the

In an interview printed in the Balti-
more Sun, Of Tuesday, October 10, Con-
gresham Mudd, in speaking of the delay
in nominating Republican tickets in
Southern Maryland, said: II am meas
urably responsible for it and seek no
evasion of that responsibility.
The delay in nominating Republican
tickets has been influenced largely by con-
sideratiOns and calculations in relation
to the defeat of the amendment. A mis-
take in marking for the candidates will
invalidate tickets against the amend
ment. | intend to defeat the eonstitu-
tional amendment in my district, il pos

The Republican County Conven-
tion met last Monday and nominated
its ticket. There was undOub ted
dissatisfaction with the result OF the
convention, but it should be borne
in mind that Republican dissatisfac-
ton is usually short lived, and Dem
ocrats cannot bank on it lasting I'M
til election day. While the ticket
nominated may not and likely will
not command the united Republican
support, still it is a ticket that will
strive hard for success and the
Democracy should take nothing for
granted. The fight is on. Demo
Gratis should at once begin to hustle
and leave nothing undone that will
contribute to party success. Get

negro has been allowed TO vote has
he given any evidence Of his ability
70 use the ballot properly?
A. No. he is voting today just as
he did thirty-five years ago for Abra-
ham Lincoln's nose and the Repubt-
can Party regardless alike Of party
principles or the fitness Of candi-
dates.
Q. Is there any danger from the
negro vote in Maryland p?
A. By a combination OF fewer
than 10. 600 white men with the solid
negro vote in seventeen counties Of
the State they can elect majority
Of all the members of our Legisla-
ture.
Q. Why are we justified in trying
TO eliminate the negro as a political
factor?
A. In violation ofevery principle
OF home rule, he was forced upon US
as a voter by the Republican party
Of other States. At every election
the Democrats are compelled TO place
in the ballot boxes Of this State sixty
thousand ballots from the hands Of
white men before we can begin tc
count in our effort TO secure a MAORI
ty OF the white vote in this State.
Q. Will the pending Amendment
disfranchise the negro?
A. In large measure. yes.
Q. Is any white mans right Il
vote involved ?
A. Not at all. The Democratic
party platform is as distinctively anC
clearly committed 70 the registration
of every while man, as il Is agains
the registration OF the negro.
Q. TX the pending Amenement i:
passed, what will be its practica
operation?
A. A white man, whether nativ,
or foreign born, Democrat or Repub
lican, would be allowed to register
without objection both Democrat!
and Republicans being committed Il
this policy.
Q. In what does the pending
Amendment differ from other Amend
ments that we're proposed2
A. The pending Amendment will
permit the registration of ever!
white man in the State, no matter
what his politics, or where he wa.
born.
Q. Who then should favor thu
pending Amendment
A. Every man who believes
majority OF the white people shoult
control the State Government.

B. & D. BRAKEMAN
FROZEN To DEATH
Fell From Freight Train On Seven
teen Mile Grade Sunday Night.
NEWTON F. SMITH THE VICTIM.
Found Sitting on Edge OF Bank Three
Hours After FaIl-His Injuries
were Many-Picked up by Train
No. |.

Netwon F. Smith, a Baltimore &
Ohio brakeman, employed on the
third division. fell from his train
about 9 o'clock Sunday night near
No. 40 water station, on the Seven
teen-mile grade, about five miles east
of Swanton, and received injuries so
serious that he froze to death. Smith
was in the middle of his train, attend
ing to the brakes, while the train was
descending the heavy grade, and in
some manner slipped from the lev
steel car, falling heavily to the ground.
but out of reach of the deathdealing
wheels. Fortune followed misfortune
and the heavy fall to the hard frozen
ground rendered the unfortunate
brakeman almost unconscious and
cut his body in several places.
He managed to crawl from the tracks
and when found was sitting on the
bank.
Smith was not missed by his crew
until the train reached Frankyille,
several miles east. The next west
bound train No. 1, was instructed to
look for the missing brakeman and
three hours after he had fallen from
the car, Smith was found frozen stiff.
The body was in sitting position on
the bank near the tracks. The right
elbow rested on the right knee and
the right side of his face was grasped
by the right hand. He had lost much
blood from the several cuts on his
body, which crippled him in such a
manner that he was unable to walk
and this, with the loss of blood, made
him an easy victim for the severe
weather.
The dead man was about twenty
five years of age and was native of
Terra Alta, w. Va, where his father
runs pumping engine. Mr. Smith
boarded on Lafayette ave, and was
quite popular with the railroad men
in South Cumberland. The remains
were taken to the home of the deceas-
eds parents in Terra Alta.

Boyd, in his opinion, said: My con-
illusions are, list, that Garrett county
was formed under the provisions of
the constitution and the act of 1872,
according to the line run on the
ground by Mr. Chisholm, which is de-
scribed in his report and is located by
the plaintiff"
end. That if location of the bound
airy line be conceded to have been err
rOneous, as not being from the proper
point on the Mason and Dixon line,
the acquiescence in that line run by
him was for such length of time as
to make it improper for the courts to
now disturb it. as public policy for
bids the change of boundary line be-
tween two counties after it has been
recognized and virtually accepted for
twenty-five or more years, unless the
change be made in the way provided
for by the constitution.
'3rd. That as consequence of these
conclusions the plaintiffs property
east of the Chisholm line was improp-
erly assessed by Garrett county, and
the injunction must be made nerpet-
ual, as the case was submitted for
tiual hearing"
From this opinion the County Com
missiOners of Garrett county appeal
ed and at the time of Diminishing the
case Clerk Tower had almost COM
pleted making up the record to be
filed in the Court of Appeals. Many
plats showing the location of the
Chisholm line and also the new or
Bauer line, had been prepared. By
this action on the part of the Com
missioners Judge Boyd's decision is
final and henceforth the Chisholm
liue will be the undisputed boundary
between the two counties.
The attorneys in the case were
Messrs. Edward H. Sincell and Julius
G. Renninger for the County Com
missioners, and Messrs. Benz. A Rich
mond, Albert A. Doub and Robert H.
Gordon, of Cumberland, for the Con
solidation Coal Company.
