Not a few railway officials incline to
ascribe the "anti-advertising transpor
tation" ruling Of the interstate COM
merce commission to a desire 10 antag-
onize the newspapers to the railroads
If such were the intention 1t is likely
to work the other way. The press does
not believe the intent of the law to be
as the commission has interpreted it,
and it is certain that there will be agi-
tation on the subject directed against
the commission which is known to have
been divided in its opinion. The New
York Republican Editorial association
has passed the following. and sent a
copy to President Roosevelt: Resolved,
That we hereby enter our protest
against the ruling of the interstate
commerce commission in holding that
the payment for railway transportation
at full rates in advertising shall be
treated on any other basis than that of
transportation paid for in cash.

DO NOT KILL DOGS FOR FOOD
Rock Islander Takes Exception to Cen
sular Report from Germany.

Rock Island. H.. June 12.-Editor
Argus: Under Washington date
there was recently published in the
press of the country an extract from
a report by Consul Harris said TO be
located at Mannheim. Germany. on the
number of dogs and horses killed for
human food in that country. Whether
this is from Ernest Harris of this COun-
ty l do not know. If it is a mistake
has been made in the place where he
is stationed. At any rate it is largely
nonsense. 1t is well known that it has
been the custom in Germany for ages
to eat horseflesh, but as to the thous-
ands of dogs mentioned in the report
as killed for the same purpose, it is all
bosh and silly. Surely the one respOn-
sible for the circulation of this does
not believe that it will be accepted as
true by the Germans in America.

learn that severe cold can be com

these symptoms, it counteracts the eff
