ANOTHER NEBRASKA TOWN HIT
HARD BY RATE Discrimination
COLUMBUS INDUSTRIES CAN'T
COMPETE WITH THE EAST
EVEN IN THEIR OWN TERRI.
TORY.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
COLUMBUS, Neb, March 7. -
This is one of several Nebraska
towns which have suffered heavily
from rate discrimination by rail-
roads.
Several years ago Columbus had
packing house, but the plant was
compelled to close because Chica-
go, Kansas City and Omaha could
ship dressed meats right through
Columbus and undersell it at points
west. There was no market found
to the east. The plant was disman-
tied, and today there is nothing left
tc mark what promised to be a
flourishing industry except the
foundation of the building.
r. S. Dickinson, mayor of Co
lumbus, says:
For years this city has been
absolutely at the mercy of the rail-
road. We have had conferences
with its officials looking to a bet
terment of conditions, but to no
avail.
The railroad people simply say
they can do no better for us, but
give no explanation why they can't
Go better"

Minnesota -four mills can sell

cheaper than the two Columbus
mills. The mills of Columbus, for
instance, in shipping -four to Madi-
son or Norfolk, must pay the same
rate as paid by the Omaha millers
the Omaha rate applies to all
points west, intermediate points be.
ing refused local rate.
The only explanation given by
the railroads is that it is a blanket
rate.
On a bale of sacks from St. Louis
to Council Bluffs the rate is 60
cents, while from Omaha to Colum.
bus the rate is ~ cents, which
shows that Columbus is given no
transit rate.
The rate on corn from Columbus
TO Omaha is 10 cents, while the
rate On the same grain from Omaha
to Baltimore has been as low as Is
cents.
The rate from here to Denver on
Hour is 80 cents, the rate from
Omaha to Denver, notwithstanding
the fact that Columbus is 81 miles
nearer to Denver than Omaha is.
Columbus pays $3.50 a ton ON
coal from Rock Springs, wyo., and
Omaha gets 1t at from 81 to $3.50
O ton cheaper. The same coal is
laid down at Grand Island at from
$3.50 to "a per ton.

Coughs, colds and grippe are pre-
vailing generally, and few people
realize how dangerous they are.
No man, woman or child escapes
them, and what Is first considered
only a trifling cold or cough,
eventually develops consumption,
and causes death.
When you have a cold when you
cough much when you expector-
ate often; when there is shortness
Of breath, hoarseness, rafting and
Wheeling sensations in the throat
and lungs, it tells the approach Of
consumption. 4

The DTagO Doctrine.

The Pan-American conference
could hardly accomplish a better
piece of work shan by vigorously in
dorsing the Drugo doctrine. and
then sending it TO The Hague con
gTess with The ultimatum that the
New World demanded it as part of
the law of nations.
The Drago doctrine maintains that
governments have no right to EN-
ploy force to collect debts: that
bombardment of cities or blockad-
ing of ports is not permissible as
means of forcing either a govern
ment or its citizens to pay. 1t is
urged that financiers who loan on
the credit of weak and insecure
governments exact higher interest
rates, thus recognizing that they
take chances.
BOmbarding defenseIess towns and
blockading ports is become a chief
occupation for navies of great pow
ers. They are the process-serving
arm of collecting agency The
practice is mercenary, undigniied.

In Santo Domingo the United

that this country should stand
squaTely with the minor American
republics in demanding that the
next Hague conference recognize
the Drago principle. 1t is right,
humane, and in the interest of
peace. With the United States in
sisting on it, another decade or
two would see its acceptance.
If the United States wants 10

America, in a way that South Amer
