ALL THEIR OWN FAULT.
Commerce Commission Clark Fixes
Blame for Financiers' Panic.

Chicago. Oct. 26.-"Speculatiye fin
ancing," as controlling factor in rail-
reading, was denounced as fatal to the
prosperity of railroads and the coun-
try by E. E. Clark, member of the in
terstate commerce commission, in an
address delivered last night before the
Traffic club. Going into the causes of
the present stock and money troubles
as the affect the railroads, Mr.. Clark
Roosevelts policy but the policy of
the law breakers who have been ex-
posed that was to blame for the
Hurry. The presidents policy, he
said, was that of the square DEAL"
and those who wished to profit by it
should also be willing to give one.
THE railroads have signaIly failed
to keep up facilities for moving
freight with the increasing business of
the country" said Mr.. Clark. This
is partly due to the unprecedented in
crease in the volume of business to be
handled The more important reason,
however, is the speculative financing
which almost without exception con-
trolls the country's railroads.
Roads probably never will keep
pace with business developments un-
til they cease to be operated as specu-
lations. 1t is imperative that they
furnish proper facilities for getting on
a solid business basis.
Many persons have declared it is
the presidents policy which is respon-
sible for present difficulties in the fin
ancial world.
"They hold the president responsible
for the shrinkage in values saying his
policy has frightened investors. 1 do
not subscribe to this belief. If it were
true, however, it should not move the
president one iota from his purpose
of prosecuting violators of the law.
RAILROAD regulation by state and
national government, each in its prop
err sphere, is essential. Such regulation
must be firm. sane, reasonable ana
just. The railroads must make UNI
form, rules. not necessarily the same
at all seasons of the year, as business
changes with the months, but UNI
form to all shippers.
eff the railroads are not strong
enough to make and enforce sucn
rules the federal government must
step in and assume a measure OF con-
troll in their affairs.

FIRST DEATH ON ROAD.
Although 1t Has Carried Three Billion
People.

London, Oct. 26-Three persons
were killed and a dozen injured this
morning in a rear end collision at the
West Hampstead station of the Metro
politan underground railroad. The
rear train, it appears, ran past the sig
nails in a fog and crashed into a train
standing at the station.
This is the first accident of the kind
since the London lines were electrified
when a system of electric signalling
was installed which the company
claimed would absolutely preclude the
possibility of such a catastrophe. 1t is
also said to be the first accident result
ing in the death of a passenger, al
though three billion people have been
carried since the opening of the road.

No one seeing me today would
think that I was at deaths door a few
years ago with pulmonary troubles. 1
had frequent bleeding from the lungs,
my stomach was out of order, and
when 1 came here for my health no one
thought 1 would recover.
MY brother in the east had been
cured of very hard cold on the lungs
by using Peruna and he wrote me and
advised me to try it. 1 had little faith,
but thought 1 would give it trial.
II noticed a change in my appetite
the very first week, and found that 1
soon began to sleep well. Gradually I
began to feel better and took on flesh.
Recovery was slow for 1 was so far
