say they desire to go carefully about
their duties and that after they are

This is more true of the excessive

Whether it be cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.

Twice recently The Youths Com
2anion has inadvertently repre-
sented Franklin as Quaker. The
explanation of this error. which
is probably widespread, is that
Franklin, being a simple citizen
Of Philadelphia, wore clothes of a
fashion set by the Quakers, a plain
gray or drab suit. He continued to
wear this costume while he was in
France. Once when his court suit
was not ready, he appeared in his
republican" garb before Louis XVI
He became the fashion of France, and
indeed in nearly all Europe, and it
was at one time the proper thing for
young republicans and litterateurs to
dress a la Franklin.

Railway Commission Bill Ready.

Railway Commission Bill Ready.
The subcommittee, which is formu.
lating bill defining the duties and
powers of the railway commission, has
practically agreed on the form of the
proposed bill.
Senators Epperson of Clay, Aldrich
of Butler and Representatives, Harri.
son of Otoe and Walsh of Douglas,
comprising the subcommittee, have
worked rapidly and tremendously to
formulate a bill. Only one or two dis
puted points caused delay and these
were settled Monday night The man
ner of procedure as defined in the bill
was one of the most important points
in dispute. The subcommittee at one
of it's first meetings agreed that rate
ordered enforced by the commission
should remain in force and not be SUI
perseded except by order of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
1t is understood that many of the
features of the bill introduced by Aid
rich of Butler have been adopted.
Some changes in the two proposed
plans of procedure are said to have
been agreed upon. One of the pro-
posed plans was for the commission to
hold formal hearing before changing
any rate complained of. The other
was to have the board get Information
and announce rate and then give the
railroad a reasonable time to show
cause why the proposed rate should
not be enforced
To prevent the railroad from set
ting aside rates by Injunction suits is
one of the objects of the men who are
drafting the bill. 1t is understood that
the bill will provide that an appeal or
application to a court by railroad
company shall be accompanied by the
testimony taken before the board, so
that the court can act intelligently and
not grant an injunction unless the evil
dence shows the proposed rate to be
unreasonable.
The subcommittee has agreed on
section that will give the commission
power to punish any person who may
have been called as witness to bring
papers or records and who fail to obey
the orders of the board
The bill will be single bill, instead
of two bills as some proposed. 1t will
provide salary of $4,000 for each of
the three commissioners and will pro-
vide for two assistants, the first not
to receive over $4,000 and the second
not over $1,000 year. The attorney
general is designated as the officer
to have charge of hearings before the
commission and assistant counsel may
be employed, the accounts for expense
to be audited by the governor. ~
The procedure described in the bill
contemplates that the commission may
fix rate on complaint of any one
aggrieved and give the railways thirty
days TO show cause why it should not
be enforced. At rate fixed by the COM
mission shall not be superseded except
by order of court of competent juris-
diction which may set it aside if found
unreasonable. No definite time is set

Taft Urges Need Of Coast Defense for
Hawaii.
"There is every reason why the for
tifications at Hawaii should be made
ready
Secretary Taft thus expressed him.
self in an urgent letter to Senator
Allison, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, renewing his request
for an additional appropriation of
$350,000 for the purpose OF fortifying
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The senate
passed an appropriation bill for forti-
fications which contained an allow.
ance of but 100000, which is $25O,000
less than the secretary asked for.
There is now $260,000 available under
last years appropriations, and it is
the secretary's desire to expend at
wall. But the secretary refrains from
stating in his letter any reason why
he deems it necessary to Immediately
fortify the Hawaiian islands.
The text of Secretary Taft's letter
to Senator Allison is as follows
II write to urge upon you that the
appropriation for Pearl Harbor be
made $350,00O instead Of 100000. We
can certainly expend this in the next
year, and there is every reason why
the Notifications of Hawaii should be
made ready. Will you not bring this
to the attention of your committee
and the senate? The enclosed state
ment from the national coast defense
board, recently appointed, shows the
fact l send it to you at the sugges,
ton of Senator Perkins
The report of the national coast
defense board, referred to by the sec
rotary, was made to the president and
by him transmitted to congress year
ago. In sending it the president him
self strongly endorsed the boards
recommendations, which included a
sweeping revision of the plans of the
old Endicott board, designed to COM
plete1y modernize the coast defense
plans.
The board makes strong argument
for the construction of 14-inch guns,
type now unknown tn the service,
instead of the present 12-inch gun, for
the fertilization of these points, in
view of the wide channels to be pro-
! nh
for Pearl Harbor and Honolulu, as
financially submitted, is on the basis
of the existing types of ordnance, and
the board has asked for these items:
Six 12-inch guns; four 6-inch guns;
sixteen 12-inch mortars, costing, with
their carriages and emplacements, al
| together $2,544,390; submarine mines,
1925, 260; power plants, $34 ,469, for the
central, and $34, 469 for the reserves;
searchlights, $4,000; fire control (by
which is meant an elaborate system of
electrical communicating enabling the
commanding officer to control the fire
from all the batteries with precision
from one point, $32O,656, making the
total of the estimate submitted 3d.
| 254,244.
| The defense board says:
| sPearl Harbor is of such strategic
| and Honolulu of such commercial inn
| portance that the national coast de-
tense board recommends for such a
first-class defense, stating that these
