THE SIMPLE LIFE.

w. 1NCll \ANCD.J EIoItIlCl.J
When Iago pumped Cassie full of
prune juice and started a row in front
Of Othello's boudoir, history informs
us that the mighty Moor rushed from
his tent crying, "Dis don't go no more
wild me-see? me for de simple life!"
But he never found 1T. Nobody ever
did. Adam might have Lived it when
he walked in the garden with his
maker, but after a while he slept, and
from his side, there crept that dreamy
eyed disturber of mans estate, and
the simple life has been non est ever
after. The cave dweller may have
thought he had it down fine, but ever
and anon he had to get out and pound
an icthyosaurus over THE head so as
to tote ham bone home to his harem.
And so on down to the present day
pike Of sixty odd centuries, everybody
has had to hustle. lMultitudes have
come and gone, but none have lived
the simple life.
But the other day a gentle, blue
eyed German parson, Rev. Charles
Wagner (call 1t Vogner, If you wilD
wove the theme of the simple life into
a book which most everybody who
could keep awake long enough has
read. Plain living and high thinking
seem to be his long suit-the only one
he had, likely-and after steady
stream of filthy lucre had crawled his
way from the enormous sales of his
book he took a day off, came over to
this country and was toasted, ban
quoted and lionized until he forgot
there was a simple life. He has now
returned to Europe and occupies a
handsome villa on which the paint has
hardly dried, and has more servants
at his command than he knows what
to do with
Is the theory Of the Simple Life
practical? Well, hardly. Ask the czar
of the Russians about it; ask Thomas
Lawton of frenzied finance fame; ask
Tom Dennison, Omaha's Right Honor
able, ask Cassie Chadwick, the woman
who gave Carnegie away; ask Johann
Hoch, who married som'ers about fifty
women, and killed the most of them
before the polls were closed on him.
The Simple Life is the alpha of TOM
myrot-there amt no omega. If you
are inclined to believe in it, go ask q
husband who has a black haired wife,
but whose coat sleeve has nasty
habit of shedding long red hairs. In
terview the travelling man who. COM
ing home from a trip finds his wife
opening his suit case which coughs up
all sorts of open-faced lingerie when
it orn't to- Hunt up the fellow whose
best girl blossoms out with a diamond
ring he never saw before Ask these
about the Simple Life.

a. wiggly street, and at the end Of it

YOU ever did, recall the next morn
ing' and say no more about the Sim

The best way Is to be yourself; know
yourself; be square with yourself; be
at peace with yourself, and just live
as honestly, as happily and as decent
ly as you can. The only simple life
here below is tnat which embodies
happiness and squareness and doesn't

GETTING THE FACTS
President Orders Submission of Re.
port on Alleged Pooling Of Trunk
Lines In Accordance With the Reso-

luton Passed by the House Mon
day.
Washington, Jan. 30.-1n response to
the resolution of the house of repre-
sentatives, President Roosevelt today
called upon the interstate commerce
commission for the report regarding
the alleged existence of combination
or arrangement between the Pennsyl-
vania Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake
& Ohio and other railroads in viola
lion of the antitrust law. Chairman
Knapp at once called his colleagues
into conference and the reply is in
course of preparation.
The resolution as amended In the
house, provided that information
should be furnished only in case it
with public interests to do so. The
fact that the president sent the reso-
luton to the commission Immediately
upon its receipt, is indicative that he
does not so regard it. Inquiry at the
offices OF the inters tate commerce
| commission today, disclosed the fact
that the only data upon which the
commission can base It's report outside
of matter already of public knowledge,
is contained in the reports of the rail-
roads themselves, annually supplied
to the commission in accordance with
the requirement of the law. These re-
ports the commission always has re-
garded as confidential but it is un-
derstood the details of the manage
ment and ownership, bonds, ETC., are
given in. them, which would throw con-
siderable light on the subject in is
sue. Although the law requiring the
submission of these reports is speci-
f1c, it prescribed no time for their
transmission, nor is a penalty affixed
for failure to do SO. With few excep-
| ttons, however, it was ascertained
that these reports are annually sub
mitted, and the belief was authors
tatively expressed that. on their face
at least, they are true statement Of
tthe condition of the roads. IAN account
Of the passage of the resolution and it's
significance is given or page eight OF
this issue.]

HURBERT VREFLAND FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE.

So much encouragement has been
given Hurbert Veerland, our present
active and progressive young Commis'
sioner of Agriculture, TO offer himself
agalu as a candidate for a State offi~e,
that after mature consideration he has
decided to become candidate for Sec
retary of State. 1t certainly looks like
he has won for himself the backing Of
the farmers of Kentucky for whatever
he may seek, and in recognition OF his
efforts in their behalf since his cleo
ton as State Commissioner thousands
OF them have urged him to offer for
another State Office, since the Constitu
ton makes him ineligible for re election.
Mr.. Vreeland has accomplished some
thing IN an office that was created for
the farmers, but which had been OF
very little benefit to them, and it is
refreshing to the Democrats of Ken
lucky when they find public servants
who devote all their time and thought
to fulfilling the duties of their office
with energy and intelligence.
Mr.. Vreeland is the youngest OF the
present State officials, and uttil the
last State election had never been a
candidate for Office. Although it was
his first appearance be won his nomi-
nation for Commissioner Of Agriculture
by a majority of 26,OOO, next to the
largest majority received by any candi-
date in the State primary, although
opposed by two prominent candidates,
who made MIST vigorous campaigns.
Mr.. Vreeland has personal acquaint-
ance probably not surpassed by any
other young man in Kentucky, extend
ing to scores and hundreds in every
one of the 119 counties in Kentucky.
He is brother of John w. Vreeland
publisher of the Farmers Home Jour.
nal, aud at the head of the Democratic
Executive Committee in Louisville and
Jefferson county, and of Graham Vree-
land, manap ing editor of the Courier
Journal, who for ten years was the
Legislative correspondent of the Cou-
rier. Journal at Frankfort.
The Democratic nominations for
State Offices will be made again by
State primary in Novembe-, aud Mr..
Vreeland has begun an active cam
paign. Up to the present time he has
no opposition.

VIM. j. Bryan is a dead sure
winner for the Democratic nomi-

Everything points in that direc-
ton. A number of states in
which Democratic conventions
have been held, have declared for
Bryan as their leader. Bryan will
return from his trip aronnd the
world in August and a great ova-
tion will be rendered him by the
Democracy of the country. Hav-
ing dropped oil of his Populistic
ideas, and that party having gone
dead in Nebraska, and throughout
the country. Bryan's position as a
leader and a political organizer
naturally changes. He is the cen
