Gov. Cummins on the Railroads.

The following from Plaintield. ILL.,,
tells about a speech made there by
Gov. Cummins of Iowa:
Gov. A. B. Cummius, OF Iowa. vel
coined the title of agitatOr in Chaut'
auqua lecture here declared that Noah
also was an agitator, and that he was
willing to take his place with the com
mander of the ark.
"There are distinguished politicians
in these parts who proclaim that every
man who dares not stand pat on the
tariff is an agitator and demagogue. :"
the Governor declared. 81 am willing
to be called an agitator. Noah was
one. He went around predicting the
flood, and bis friends laughed at him
and called him a demagOgue. Had
tbey listened to him they might have
been saved"
The Governor strongly condemned
the overcapitalization of railroads.
Governor Cummins placed the Chica-
go and Alton and the Chicago and
Rock Island Railroads in the class with
Standard Oil for questionable bust ness
dealings, declaring that the manner in
which the stock of these roads was
watered was no less than crime.
-Four years ago the capital stock OF
the Rock Island was $4,000, ,00O," said
Governor Cummins. ''Since that time
earnings have increased, and instead
of giving the public the benefit OF the
profits which it had heaped up for the
road, the capital stock was watered
until today it has reached the gigantic
sum of $4l2, 900.
sin the same manner the Alton stock
has been watered from $33, ,OOO,OOO to
S113, 100000
when we learn of such business
tactics it does not take any great men,
tai acumen to see that we must call a
halt. Judge Lands has done just what
was necessary"

Larue Profits Out OF Tobacco.

Consul-G eneral n. B. Miller sends
from Yokohama a clipping from a
Japanese newspaper which comments
on the tobacco monopoly in that coun-
try, as follows:
The profit for the thirty-ninth fiscal
year, which closed at the end OF last
month, amounted to 81, ,625 900 in gold,
in round figures, an excess OF 81, 100,
900 over the estimate. AS the con
sumption in this country of tobacco
continues to increase year after year
the monopoly bureau has decided to
raise the price paid by the government
for leaf tobacco by some 10 per cent,
which will cost the government $780,
900 more a year, and thus encourage
the cultivation of tobacco. The ToZal
Tobacco Company, agents for the eA'
port of cigarettes to Manchurla and
Korea, has also resolved to further
lemploy its energy in extending the
market, especially by advertisement
land the government is ready to give
| Ill possible facilities to the company tt
leuhance the market. The value o.
lcigarettes to be exported this year ii
e ,timated at about 81, $50 900. Th'
Diet approved at the last session an ap
propriation of So, 500 900 to be defray
ed up to 1918, for the construction o
factories for the manufacture of Jap
lanese cut tobacco. When these fac
tories are completed and the work
now intrusted to private individual
taken over by the monopoly bureau
commission, freight, and Zen
will be largely saved. and this economy
lcombined with the increased salei
will. it is estimated, bring in ne
profit of some $22, 500 600 after 1913.
At present the contractors iptruste
with the work number about 500, WI

Weak Kidneys Make Weak Bodies.
COMMON ACHES AND ILLS OF
STAUNTON PEOPLE.

As one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down. Overwork. strains, colds and
other causes injure the kidneys. and
when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers from the excess OF
uric poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and uri-
nary ills come, and there ia an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kidney
help. Doan's Kidney Pills act direct

Some unknown friend hae mailed J1

uulo. "SJ pat.rs Frs, Sermon t1 the
Genulos.". by ID. r. Hughes In rcad-
ing this booklet J ann surprised t1 find
DO to Dee "a remarkable instance of the
abuses committed in reading and in-
tcrnretmg the Holy Scriptures. 10 is
exactly what the same ST. Peter writes
O. Phil II lG. lO "thot the uuloarnod
and unstable wrest away the holy text
into erroneous meaning Co their own
destruction"
The remarks of ST. Peter CActs y l)
"that to Jesus AN the prophets give
testimony that by his name an receive
/ remission of sins who believe i'm him"
are construed as containing all what
! is necessary under all circumstances,
at an times, and for an kind of persons,
so much so that the author of the PAM
phlet concludes with great enthusiasm
as follows:
! Under no circumstances is any thing
more required for salvation as what
stated above. Consequently there need
| be no baptism no confession, no doing
| penance no Holy Communion, no prac-
| tice Of charity, no intercession Of saints,
/ no veneratiOn Of the Blessed Virgin,
no purgatory, no seven sacraments, no
good works, no only true church moth
/ ing at all O.. and O-heaven becomes
as cheap as dirt. And his reason Isl:
mot a word about these and other
| things, some Of which are considered

ia ha al al
This horrible sophism is a worthy
| parallel only to the fanatical dilemma
of the Turks, when under their prophet
Mahomet they had captured Alexandria
/ and discovered there the greatest and
most valuable library of the world, let
| it be burnt they said, for the following
reason. All the contents Of these
| books either are i'm the Coran, or are
not in the Coran; If they are, we do
not want them, they are super1uous,
| if they are not we do not need them,
they are useless, therefore they must
| be burnt and so they did burn them to
the great sorrow of the students of
antiquity.
1t is wrong to make any book sacred
of profane, say more than is warrant
ed by the exact circumstances in which
the writer spoke or wrote the words
/ of the text.
st. Peter speaks to the gentiles who,
touched by the grace of God wish to
| be saved i. e. reconciled to God. Ma
turally st. Peter has instructed them
as much as he could give and they could
receive for the short time and the great
number of people that took advantage
of the occasion. If we reflect on the
character of the sacred books (there
were no newspapers and there was no
stenographer to put down the exact
text of ST. Peters discourse) our con-
clusion is that he has said much more
than the few lines contained about the
subject in the quoted verse.
In a first visit of a doctor to his
patient, he gives him the instructions
which his case demands for that time
only, and it is understood that later on
he may add to or modify his first ms
truction. st. Peter would be greatly
astonished at the idea that his words
should be twisted into the meaning of
prohibiting rite and ordinances else
