YoaISum,s Railroad Panacea.

To realize in practice a union of the
people and the railroads under the super
vision of the national government is the
essence of the proposal made in an ar
dele for the July Worlds Work by the
railroad magnate, B. f. Yoakum, chair
man of the Rock Island board of direc-
tors. Taking up the different points Of
popular agitation, Mr.. Yoakum finds,
first, that the Hepburn anti-rebate act is
effective, just and wise, and ne believes
that all good railroad managers will CO.
operate to enforce it. The valuation Of
railroad property, he thinks, would not
be Instantaneous to the railroads, but
that it would not have any practical value
in arriving at fair basis of ratemaking.
As a railroad man he would not oppose
it, and he does not see how the right Of
the government to make such valuation
can be challenged. He approves of the
limitation of future security issues under
the eye of the federal government. He
explains that the law should make it inn
possible to gain the profits of railroad
construction more than once, and that in
creasing capital for improvements should
be supervised. He believes, further in
the uniformity of accounts so as to make
the annual reports of the railroads
basis for public confidence, and he sees no
iced of having any mystery about the
railroad business any more than there is
about the accounts of a national bank.
While he does not approve of legalizing
railroad pools, he thinks that traffic as
sociations should be allowed, because all
connecting lines may participate. In con-
elusion, he urges that the current of ex-
listing agitation must be turned into
safer channel or great harm will be done
TO all interests.

A Question of Interest to All Careful
Persons.
Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought Of
eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy oats
and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc.,
produces serious bowel troubles, be-
cause the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, producing
gas, and microbes generate In the de-
cayed food, frequently bringing on peri
tonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form Is

HAYASHI ON VISIT TO SEOUL Emperer Abdicated on
 His Arrival JAPAN DID NOT ADVISE IT Plans to Murder Entire Cabinet
 Wholly Unthinkable. Position Described as Delicate One Future Government of Korea
 Must Be . Competent and
 Organised Administrations.
JAPAN DID NOT ADVISE IT

Seoul. July 22.-Viscount Hayashi. the Japanese Foreign Minister. de- scribes his visit to Seoul as an excur- sion during the government holidays. made for the purpose of communicat- ing to Marquis Ito the demand made by public feeling in Japan for rectifi- cation of existing conditions in Korea and also to consult with the Marquis as to what should be done.
 In view of the grave state of the present crisis. Viscount Hayashi has consented to say that the abdication of the Emperor occurred simultaneous ly with his arrival in Seoul and was a surprise and disappointment, Neither Marquis Ito nor Japan had any part in the abdication but on the contrary if consulted. they would not have advised 1t.
 Regarding the report that he came to Korea on a special mission. Viscount Hayashi admitted that 1t was true that he came entrusted with the govern ment's program. Japan's position here was delicate and its responsibilities were great. An intriguing govern ment was impossible, and the plan to murder all the cabinet ministers, which was reported to be a scheme of the Emperor for his restoration to power with a cabinet wholly anti-Japanese. was unthinkable. Regarding possible plans for the future government Hay ashi said that the Korean throne had nothing to fear from the Japanese. but there must be competent, organized administration Japans program would be executed only with regard to due forms, with She consent of the consti- tuted sovereign ard was subject to modification according to conditions. It had already modified It's plans and if the Korean throne established a com potent government. Japar would deal with it. At present the Japanese au- thorities were wholly concerned at the restoration of order. Until this was accomplished they were unable to pro- ceed and his mission must await nor mal conditions. for the future promo tion of the welfare of the people was his foremost consideration.
