MT. Land 0Wner:

We want to talk to you a few minutes again about abstracts. In fact, we expect to give, from time to time through these columns, n- formation about titles that may be worth your attention. We know that you are interested, all sensible people are, in having a perfect title.
 Do you know that since your land has in~ creased in value certain people are buying up adverse claims to lands throughout the county and are preparing to bring sui. to oust the pres- ent owner; that some such suits have already been brought, in fact?
 Do you know what the records show about your title? Whether there are any defects that should be cured?
 Just as chain is no stronger than its weakest link, your title is no stronger tn m the weakest place in it. You may have an appar- ently perfect deed from the man you bought from, but there may be weak place somewhere behind that. Seven years possession doesn't necessarily give you good title.
 It is only question of time until you have to have abstract, anyway. Nobody wants to buy your place without one. No loan company will advance money without an abstract.
 Today is better time to act than the day after somebody has taken your home from you.

BRYAN FINDS GOOD
IN ROOSEVELT.
Opens Campaign in Kansas,
and Says President Has
Accomplished Reforms
TALKS OF RAILROADS

FORT SCOTT. Kan, Oct. S.-W. j.
Bryan made his first Kansas speech Of
this campaign here today. He said
in part:
I am glad to come to Kansas. and
am glad to find a spirit here that We
have not always found in politics In
we are approaching a time when we
can consider public measures with less
of partisanship than We have In
entered politics that there was such
strong feenng in regard to the parties
that 1t was almost impossible for
man belonging to any party to find
anything good IN another party.
This State has done much to break
down the old feeling. President RooSe-
Welt has done good deal TO convince
good in the Democratic platforms. He
had. the courage to take up some OF
the reforms tie Democrats advocated
before his party had advocated them.
The President has done much good.
I don't know what he might have done
had he had an environment favorable
to reform. He has done remarkable
things for a man who had TO ngnt his
leaders all the way through. / do not
know what he might have accomplished
had he not been so Handicapped
On the subject of Government owner
ship of the railroads, Mr.. Bryan said
that several years ago the Democrats
and Populists were ridiculed for sug-
gesting such a thing and that he has
been denounced as dangerous because
he had mentioned IT as a means of re-
lief from the oppression of the rail-
roads. But now we find President
Roosevelt daring to hold as club over
the railroads that idea in terms more
radical than I suggested"
In his last two messages to Congress
Mr.. Bryan said President Roosevelt
had said with emphasis that If the
railroads did not get out Of politics
and the people run the Government,
Government ownership Of railroads
would be the inevitable end He had
suggested Government ownership only
about six months ahead of Roosevelt.
and he was awful glad to be ahead Of
the President in that line of reform.

GIVES A HEARING ON
FILING OF TARIFFS
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Receives 100 Rail
road Officials in a Body

WASHINGTON, Oct s.-A hearing
was given today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to representa-
tives of the railroads of the country
on the subject of preparation and FL
ing with the commission of tariffs
About 100 traffic officials of the i'm
portant lines attended.
Tentatively the commission has de-
cided to issue an order specifying the
requirements that would be made with
respect to the fIling of tariffs. Some
of these requirements are that joint
tariffs shall be filed by the initial line:
that the schedules of each initial line
shall be printed as an independent
document; participating lines may file
with the commission a general author
ity for any initial line to file on their
behalf all tariffs; class rates shall be
filed in a tariff by themselves; in. the
compilation of tariffs of the uniform
order shall be observed. and termi-
nal chafges which must be paid by all
shippers at destination and which are
therefore really part of the cost of
transportation must be specified in the
tariff of the initial line.
On these and other propositions re-
specting the filing of tariffs the com
mission invited suggestions in writing
from all interested parties. In addi-
ton it appointed today for an oral
hearing on the subject.

GOULDS' TROUBLES
ARE At AN END.
Young Wife of Frank
Leaves for Hot Springs
and Husband Is on Sea
DIVORCE CALLED OFF
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SEE0lA1 DlSEA1O1 IL LIE OALl-
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Mrs. Frank Jay
Gould. the young wife of Frank, the
youngest son of the late Jay Gould is
no longer at outs with her husband.
She left Lyndhurst, the old family
home of the Goulds at Irvingten-on
the-Hudson, the residence of Miss
Helen Gould, today and went to Hot
Springs, Ark, for an indefinite stay.
All differences between the Frank Jay
Goulds have been settled out of court.
No further action in divorce proceed
ings will be taken.
Frank Jay Gould has completed
preparations for tour around the
world on his steam yacht. the Helenita,
which is named after his wife, who
was Miss Helen Margaret Kelley. He
will sail soon and his trip, according
to present plans, will occupy many
months.
Mrs. Gould's visit to Miss Helen
Gould has been of considerable length
and it is understood has been termi
mated only after a reconciliation had
been effected between Mrs. Gould and
her husband.
The legal papers which were drawn
up to be used in obtaining a separa-
tion of Mrs Gould from her husband
have been destroyed and no court re-
view and Judgment upon their differ
ences Will De taken' at least Tor the
present.
Abandonment of these proceedings is
the result of a council in which all the
members of the Gould family took part.
The united efforts of his brothers and
sisters were brought to bear upon
Frank Jay Gould and his wife to heal
the breach between them and to pre-
vent a separation, as far as public
action, at least, was concerned.
The affairs of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Gould have not changed, and there is
no sign of a reconciliation. Mr.. Gould
is in st. Louis attending a meeting of
one of the railroads in which he is
interested. Mrs. Howard Gould divides
her time between her home at Sands
point, L. L. and her apartments in the
Hotel st. Regis.

to pieces before the life saving crew
reached her.
Seven members of the crew, including
the captain, were picked up and
brought to the station at the canal. ten
miles from here. Three members of
the crew are still missing and it is
thought they were drowned.
The wind is blowing nifty miles an
hour and increasing steadily.
The seven who reached shore had a
terrible battle in the seas. They saved
nothing. having escaped from the
doomed ship with only the clothes they
wore.
The Pasadena was in tow of the
steamer Gladstone and the latter made
the shelter of Lily Pond in safety.

To HEARST.
Root, Shaw, Taft and Can
non to Take the Stump in
New York Against Editor
PROBLEM OF LABOR
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


WASHINGTON. Oct. s.-All the polit-
ical luminaries controlled by President
Roosevelt will be sent to New York
State during the campaign to shed
light on the situation there and show
the voters why they should work and
vote against Hearst. Secretaries Root
and Shaw have already been notified
that they are to take part in the
Hughes fight. Speaker Cannon, at the
solicitation of Chairman Sherman, Of
the Congressional committee. will I'LL
various dates, and when Secretary
Taft gets back, about a week from this
time, he will be asked to take the
stump for the Republican ticket. both
State and Congressional.
Chairman Sherman had another talk
with the President today about the
fight in their home State. They dis
cussed the charges made against Public
Printer Stillings' management of the
Government printing establishment.
The Bookbinders' Union has made an
emphatic protest against Stillings.
chiefly on account of his rules requir-
ing the binders to perform a certain
stunt every day and of dismissing those
who do not turn out a product large
enough to comply with those rules.
President Feeney of the Bookbinders'
Union believes the management of the
printing shop should be investigated
by a joint committee of Congress. He
has talked SO plainly to Sherman that
the latter fears that the friends of the
union will. unless something is done
to pacify them until after election,
throw the weight of their influence
against Hughes Hearst's supposed
good standing with organized labor and
Feeney's complaint combined make a
factor that Sherman cannot ignore.

CANAL To De DUG
BY CONTRACT.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Sit has finally
been decided that the Panama canal
will be completed by contract. In a
few days the commission will make
public a statement setting forth its
reasons for favoring the contract sys-
tenn.
President Roosevelt is known to sup
port the commission in its position that
the work can be done more satisfac-
torily by contractors than by the Gov
ernment.
This change in building the canal
will in no way affect the employment
of Chinese labor, but 1t is likely that
no disposition will be made of the bids
for supplying Chinese labor until after
the return of Secretary Taft from
Cuba
President Roosevelt still intends to
visit the isthmus this fall. and unless
there be some change for the worse in
the Cuban situation will probably
leave for Colon a short time after the
election.

OF DANCER
Of HEARSTISM.
Senator Lodge Says Con
dition Of Democracy Is
a Menace to the Country
GENERAL INDECENCY

BOSTON. Oct. s.-The annual dinner
of the Massachusetts Republican Club
was held tonight in Symphony Hall and
served as a ratification meeting for
Governor Curtis Guild Jr. and the
others on the State ticket who were
renominated last week. The banquet
brought together many men of promi-
nence in public life, including Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, Senator Lodge
and Senator Crane of Massachusetts.
Senator Lodge spoke as follows:
The nominations of Mr.. Hearst in
New York and Mr.. Moran in Massachu-
setts, which are identical in character
and purpose, prove beyond doubt that
the radical element in the Democratic
party, which aims at class legislation
and strives to arouse class hatred,
tends also toward socialism and the
destruction of private property. This
element which has been built up and
fostered by Mr.. Bryan in his two cam
paigns for the Presidency as we'll a.
by the pitiable collapse of the safe
and sane" candidate in 1904, is now
powerful enough to take possession of
the Democratic organization in two
great States.
The condition into which the Demo-
cratic party has thus fallen is in itself
menace TO the welfare of the coun-
try. I am not one of those who rejoice
IN II, for think 1t is just as import
ant lual lNe party OF OppOSlllOn SnOulO
not drive out all its conservative ele-
ments, abandon all its traditions and
give itself over to radicalism, violence
and general indecency, as that the
party in power should remain sound
and wise and safe.
Senator Beverdige said in part:
The only question before the Amer
lean voters in this campaign is good
government There are no issues of
policy dividing political parties-no
conflict Of principle to take the peo-
pies minds from the practical process
OF running the Government. The indi-
vidual and not the party at the mo-
ment dominates our political life. and
the only question now before the in
dividual party American is as to which
party can best administer the peo-
pies business.
II the American people believe in
Theodore Roosevelt they should sup
port him by electing a House which is
pledged to make his administration a
continued success rather than a House
whose purpose would be to make it a
failure. We ask for a vote of conf
tion asks for vote of censure of the
administration; and that is all there
is to this campaign.
SO II is that unless the Republican
party has grown careless in admins
tering the Government, ii is the party
which can govern best. And If this is
true, the only real question of this
Republican party has been more care
ful in administering the peoples af-
fairs during the last five years than 1t
has ever been before. Pure and able
men are synonymous with the name of
Theodore Roosevelt.

CHICAGO SEAT OF
PATRIOTIC SOCIETY
Ancient and Honorables of
Columbia Post Is the
Title of the Organization

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Chicago is about
to have an organization that will en-
brace in its scope the aims, character
and dignity of the Ancient and Hon
orable Artillery of Boston and the
hereditary features of the National Or
der of the Cincinnati. The Patriotic
Ancient and Honorables of Columbia
Post, as the new order is called. is
within fortnight of organization and
the list of charter members includes
several multi -millionaires as well as
men famous as educators and for their
learning. The scrutiny to which the
lives and characters OF the applicants
has been subjected is severe and 1t is
the intention of the founders to make
the order distinctly one of merit.
A sweeping pledge is required of all
candidates. It demands first of all an
unswerving loyalty to the Government
of the United States and those in au-
thority under it. Any smirch on the
character OF an applicant is sufficient
to bar him from membership and he
must indorse the ideas which are basic
in the principles of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
