COUNCIL GETS IN LINE,

Council, at its session Monday even
ing, did the proper thing in resembling
its former action in reference to the
TRACTION freight ordinance and is now
lined up with the city attorney, board
of works and property owners and
citizens with regard to the proper
route for the freight line. The matter
is now squarely up to the traction
company and there can be no lodging.
No doubt the intentions of the council
were good when it voted to suspend
the ordinance for month, pending
final settlement, but it would have
been a mistake to permit the traction
company opportunity to resume it's
freight business along Main street and
the council realized this afterward.

the increase in the nations wealth
from 1900 to 1904, it is stated, was
the reaction from the low prices of the
period of depression from 1893 TO 1896.
The annual increase of wealth per

ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply. if not at more rea-
sonable prices, at home. Trade with

ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the fiashy catalogue of the mail

fire, and keep your money at home
where it will benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmers dollar. earned by honest toll,
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
porations. The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
in battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapidity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing. the day is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
the power will be too great to con-

ARE YOU ASHAMED?

Good citizen, are you ashamed, IN
view of the astounding revelations
that have been made public during
the past two years, if you have de
nounced the railways, and through
your denunciation have influenced
your state and national legislators to
pass drastic measures regulating
them? If you are not, the day is COM
ing when you will be, according to
Grover Cleveland. The Palladium
contained dispatch from Princeton,
New Jersey, yesterday in which the
ex-president is quoted as saying:
'ThereAiS much of the nature of de-
lirium in the popular cutlery against
railroad corporations, for instance. We
shalIf all be ashamed of it by and by.
/ dare. say I have some reason TO
know of the, real iniquities of corpor-
ations, land I do know them, but there
is much that is not only groundless,
but wrong, in the offhand attacks
made on the railroads by thoughtless
people on an hands. What is well
founded in them will be cured, but
pass We shall reflect that railroads
are vitality related to our prosperity,
and that to attack them needlessly is
to attack ourselves. 1t is not the
stock of soulless millionaires, but the
property of citizens, of widows and
orphans, whose savings are investe d
in railroads, that is being damaged.
We shall recall what railroads have
1.. h.
ment of our country, and this craze
will pass.
"Of course there must be some form
of governmental supervision, but it
should be planned in quiet hour, not
in one of angry excitement"
Mr. Cleveland, however is mistak-
en-, and history proves him so.
Throughout the annals of time there
is not a single record of any great re-
form being accomplished during the
quiet hours. During those hours
the great rogues of history and of
piling up iniquities, which were only
wiped away when the people rose up
in their wrath and denounced them.
The present "craze" of denunciation
against the corrupt management of
our railways will not harm our great
arteries of commerce. On the con-
sweeping from one end of the country
to the other at present, will only be
strong enough to sweep out of power
such all-devouring monsters as Harri-
man and others of his ilk, the railways
will have been saved from their
greatest danger, decentralization
'watered' stocks and bonds.
And the widows and orphans about
whom Mr.. Cleveland is so solicitous,
even they will reap benefit If the pub
lies denunciation can curb or drive
out these financial vampires who are
running our railways. Their savings
and legacies as invested in railway

value and twenty-five per cent ''wa-
ter" thanks to our Harrimans and
their methods of high finance. No.
Mr. Cleveland. you have taken the
wrong track again to reach public APP
proval, that is, the approval of the
real public, the public composed of
those widows and orphans and others
who are forced to suffer for the way
our railways have been managed
way magnateS want to hear, not the
public. We know our wrongs and our
denunciations are proof enough that
we are determined to do our utmost
to get them righted.
