see those same attorneys chummy to-

cases. For a time. and until they are
better their confidence in their
LINDA IN the organization Of soci-
sety is a bit shaken.
&c may not be doubted that Mr.. AL
Sdrich was In earnest In all he did In
the Railroad Rate Bill fight In the
FIRST place he wanted no legislation at

would be enacted; he set about using

to aay proposition up to the time the
