ROOSEVELT Is
IN DEAD EARNEST
Congress Must Deal With
Freight Rate Question.
NOW Is THE PROPER TIME
FAILURE WILL MEAN AN Fx-
IRA SESSION.

ikf ASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-President
Wv Roosevelt continued today his con-
ference with members or congress
on the subject Of tariff revision ana of
legislation providing for an Increase OF
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission. One statement, which
stands out almost with the pre-emnence
of an official announcement, is tha- m
less congress at the present session
should enact legislation looking 10 reg
ulation of railroad freight rates. an ex-
traordinary session Of the Fifty-ninth
congress viii be called Dy the president IS
deal with that problem.
1t can be said that the president re-
CARDS the interstate commerce question as
the paramount issue now before the
American people.
Rate Question Paramount
At the conference last Saturday he in
formed those whom he had summoned
into consultation that. in his Judgment.
the question of railroad freight rates was
far more important than that of the
tariff. and that. while he desired a re-
ties. ne would not permit any radical DIFF
ferences in the Republican party on that
question He said definitely that he wouI0

less definite action were taken by con-
gress on the subject at the present ses-
sion At that session. he hoped, tariff re-
vision to the extent he had indicated
might be accomplished but ne made it
perfectly clear that in his mind the over
shadowing ssue was that Of railroad
freight rates
Made a Strong Talk
In a talk today with Speaker Cannon,
who is recognized as being opposed at
this time to any revision OF the tariff
the president reiterated his statement
made at Sat urday conference that
while he desired action on the question
he was willing to abide by the Judgment
of the Republican leaders IN congress- as
he regarded the tariff matter as ono
American people should determine He
indicated, I'm so many words. that while
fifty years hence practically nobody
would be able to say whether the tariff
duties on any given article at this time
were 80 per cent ad Valoren. and nobody
would care anything about what the du-
ties were. the interstate commerce dues-
ton involved q principle dear to every
right-thinking and riEht-Ifiinded Ameri-
can. precisely the whole matter Of
dealing with corporations involves a prin~
ciple and he would fight for that princi-
pie with all the power that in him lies,

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., July 8.-(Speciai)
Homer lands, former Plattsmouth boy,
was married recently in Oklahoma to Mrs
Cora Chase lands, the marriage being the
elimination of a little romance which had
its beginning in Cass county a few years
ago.
Young lands formerly worked on a farm
near this city and Miss Chase, an orphe n
girl, made her home with the family of a
neighborfng farmer. A warm friendship
sprung up between the young couple which,
in the course of time, ripened into love-
Friends Of the couple, who observed the
course events were taking predicted an
early marriage. One day, however, Lands
brother, young man OF handsome appear
ance, came from the east for a visit. II
soon became apparent that he. too, had
taken sudden liking to the fair Cora, who
reciprocated his attentions. Homer, on the
other hand, found that her love for him was
slipping away in spite OF his best efforts to
retain her affections. His brother had come
to spend only a few weeks, but the weeks
passed into months and a great surprise
was sprung one day when Miss Cora and
the young man from the east slipped away
to neighboring county seat town and
were quietly married
Sadly disappointed. Homer removed to
Oklahoma, while the young couple made
their home in Iowa. About a year age
Homer was notified of his brothers death
and he came TO attend the funeral. He and
Cora afterwards resumed correspondence
and both decided that they stu loved each
other in spite of the interruption which
had occurred. They were married last
week.

will not be less than that, after all ex-
