TO COMPEL RAILROADS TO DE
LIVER WET GOODS.
SHOULD The INJUNCTl0NS
Be Resorted to Restraining Clerks
and Marshals From Issuing and
Serving Writs Of attachment
and RepIevn.

The question of compelling tho
railroads to deliver such drinks as
lLonghorn, Mistletoe and other terrific
| rial beverages has not been settSd
as was first thought after the con
ference held at Muskogee few days
ago.
1t is understood that It is the in.
tention of the department of the in.
terror to have injunctions issued
against the marshals and clerks
Throughout the territory from serv.
ling attachments on railroads and is.
suing orders of rep,evy ont he rail
roads to compel them TO deliver the
goods.
The wholesale dealers have been
suing orders or replevy on the rail
lreplevy to compel the railroads to
deliver the goods since the railroads
have issued orders to their agents
not to deliver the goods under the
direction of the special officer of the
department of the interior sent here
for the purpose of restraining the
traffic i'm the territory.
1t is expected that in a few days
District Attorney Walker will receive
instructions to act in the matter
These instructions would have\ been
received and acted upon today in two
cases had the attorney arrived in the
city in time.
w. j. Wilson and Joe Bastine, two
dealers in Longhorn and Mistletoe,
has brought suit of replevin against
the Santa Fe to compel that line to
deliver two cars of that product,
which was passing throug henroute
to a point in Oklahoma.
In case these orders are issued,
the matter of receiving that class of
goods into the state will be in a much
muddled condition.
The department OF the interior. It
seems, intends to leave no loophole
whereby the traffic in forbidden
goods may be received, and to make
it as hard as possible for any one to
get whisky into the territory. The
department intends to leave no stone
unturned to stop the liquor traffic.

PASTED FoRTY-SIx DAYS.
After illness Of Six Months Woman
Dies Of Peculiar Trouble.

Cause, Texas, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. Len
Luce died of some unknown trouble
after a lingering illness of about six
months. A remarkable fact is connect
ed with her last Illness, she having
lived forty-siX days without taste
of food. having drank nothing but wa
ter, without the slightest tinge OF
nourishment This was record-break-
er in that line. No one has ever
known that long existence without a
particle OF food. She never called for
food but one time, and was unwilling
to eat 1t when prepared. Every mem
ber of the family, the family physi-
clan and neighbors, will certify to
above facts II requested.

TAMPERlNG WITH A HORNETS
NEST

"All OF a sudden" we are told that
there will be "A platform published
In a day or two which will outline the
agreed policies of certain candidates
now asking for the Democratic nom
ination for mayor, counciimen, etc"
These men will do well not to allow
themselves to be made instrumentali-
ties 10 forward combinations that the
cool reason and intelligent self-inter-
est of the people is sure to ropudiate.
Political combination of the kind
cannot be extended beyond certain
limits without its falling to pieces by
its own weight. Political power for
machine politics and combinations and
never lead to good results. The
masses are usually oppressed and
plundered for the benefit OF the few,
in this manner.
Therefore, the Ardmoreite insists
that, to escape these calamities, the
men who feel themselves capable of
extending the growth of this city with
out impairing its strength, should an
nounce for the office of their choice In
an individual capacity and say to the
people that they will work TO givo
this city the best human government
that IL Is possible to devise and ad-
minister. In this manner, free from
political combinations and machine
rule, give the people chance and
they will do their duty to themselves
and their postcrity by selecting from
among their number those men of
approved probity and patriotism
whom they know TO be best suited for
the service and send them to the
council to assist in building n pros
porous and happy city.
To form n coterie OF self-styled re-
formers. to The Ardmoreite's way OF
thinking, would he going backward
instead of forward and entail ills
much worse than any with which the
city has ever been afflicted.
Fortunately. such an innovation
can not be accomplished until elab-
orate discussion shall have convinced
the people that Il will be for the bet
ter and. for that reason, 1t Is not
likely to be adopted.
The ArdmoreiSe, It must be un-
derstood. rs not holding anybody's
candidacy up as the limit of comic
opera absurdity The Ardmoreite has
said in the past that to be elected
to honorable office. If he can get the
votes, is every mans right in this
country The Ardmoreite is consis-
tent. 1t is merely protesting against
machine politics and warns the ma
nipulators what to expect.

tern Trunk Line committee and the
Eastern Trunk Line committee. And
these are TO meet later with the Off
cial classification committee, which
means the power which controls the
railroad highway between Chicago
and New York.
The necessity for any general in
crease in rates IS given the lie by
the official return made by the rail.
roads themselves For 10 years earn
ings have been on the increase, and
the year of 1906, just closed, has
Ieclipsed all previous records
Most astounding are the figures
covering earnings which have Just
been compiled for the year 1906. II
appears that the gross earnings of
1874 railroads, from which reports
were received, reached thetotal of s2,.
13l .3o6,699, An increase of $22i,062,-
i52. Or 11.7i per cent over the pre-
vious year This compilation is based
on the returns of companies Operat.
ing liSG.G7 miles of road. Returns
from all the roads will bring the
amount up to about 1924, 100000.
In the light of these figures it is
amusing rather than convincing, to
read what the various railroad presi.
dents have to say about the need of
AN Increase In rates. President Jas.
-. Hill Of the Great Northern, has
said within the last ten days:
An advance in freight rates seems
inevitable. Wakes of labor and the
prices of materials and operating con.
ditions have been ma;Iing steadily
for smaller net earnings. The commo-
dities of the country have been ad-
vancing in price while transportation
rates have been showing decreases
This is an order of things which
cannot last
President +. A. Delano. of the Wa.
bash, has uttered similar wall.
Roswell Miller, chairman of the
board of directors of the Chicago.
Milwaukee d st. Paul road. has
said:
This movement for the reduction
of rates must be opposed. owing to
the conditions under which the roads
are operated"
Others who have expressed similar
opinions fare w, c. Brown, senior
viceprcsidcnt of the New York Cen.
trail lines: President l.. G. Winchell.
of the Chicago. Rock Island Il Pa.
cific, and President Oscar G. Muir
ray, of the Baltimore & Ohio road.
There is also n political side OF this
matter. 1t was expected that the gen
eral effect of the rate law would be
to prevent unjust increases in freight
as well as square deal for the
small and large shippers.
If the law is to prove ineffective
in this respect, It is pointed out by
the more radical element, including
many democrats, that the only alter.
native is government ownership.
In fact. this bold move by the rail
roads of the United States to cap the
passage of the rate law by general
raising of rates all over the country
is expected to do much to make
government ownership a paramount
issue in the next presidential cam
paign.
Arranging the railroads into groups
it is found that the increased per
cent of earnings in 1906 is about as
