Roads Will Fight
State Rate Laws.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 10.-Pro.
ceedings will be filed In the United
States Court at Kansas City this
week to eniein the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission OF Missouri
from attempting to enforce either
the 2-cent passenger fare or the
maximum freightrate law enacted
ut the last session OF the Legislature.
Both OF these acts go into effect
June Is. II Is the understanding
that all the traakliHe railroads. IN
the State, nineteen In number, will
join In the proceedings.
This Information comes direct
from one OF the railroad attorneys
who is engaged, with other attorn-
eys, in preparing the iDiunctions.
He stated to day that IL was prob.
able the fnjunctions would be filed
before Judge lohn F. Philips at
Kansas City June IA, Of the present
week, or the day before the laws 60
into effect.
The inlunctiOns Will be based IN
both instances upon Q provision in
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which pro.
hibits the taking Of property with
out due process Of law, and IL will be
contended that both acts tend to
confiscate property In violation oil
this proviso, and hence the Fedora
questions involved.

Hour Propitious For Democracy

From Senator Rsyner's Interview In Baltimore
sun.
The first issue upon which the Dem
ocratic party VIII take q resolute
stand will be she revision OF the tariff.
There will be no discord upon this
subject.
Venus meet the Protective league
with facts and proofs and figures and
not with glitteriDg generalities. The
time has gone by for discussing the
general policy Of Ariff reform.
Itseems to me that the Democratic
party Is unified in opposition to
territorial expansion, and that this
Is destined to become vital problem
before the people.
The President OF the United States
is not vested with unlimited execu.
tive power, but on the contrary he IL
bound By the specifications OF the
Constitution.
l believe the hour Is propitious
The contrary Is at unrest under Re
publican rule. Its leader has gon'
too far
We must continue the war sgains
monopoly and corporal oppression
but we must get rid OF the idea tina
everybody engaged In large CONNER
cial interests is q criminal, and tina
the demagogue and the sgitator ar
the genuine public benefactors.

Why DID THEY DO 1T?

The grand jury had County Clerk
Weeks sworn financial statement
before them and the members ex.
am'ned it critically, as instructed by
Judge Denton so to do, keeping 1t
several days before returning 1t to
Mr.. Weeks, and then reporting that
the statement was made out In con-
formity to law. That statement
showed there were nearly twenty
six thousand dollars in the treasury
sad about thirty thousand dollars
od outstanding warrants, an actual
Indebtedness, when the balance was
: struck, OF about four thousand dol
+. lars. Why did the grand jury &C.
capt figures from q partisan source
and go back four months to show a
big indebtedness, at q time when no
,ta1es hadbeen paid into the treasury,
II it was not done for political effect?
Why did they not state the true con.
dition Of the county's finances at
that time, as shown by the official
statement, duly sworn to and Ct
tested by an officer In line with biz
.nfff,al duties under the laws and
constitution. The facts are that
Mr.. Harper and his political advisers
were too anxious to make politica
capital and overstepped all bound
OF official propriety. II has aroused
every Democrat to action, and al
fair-minded men, no matter whs'
their political sffiliation, deprecat
such understand methods.

AVOIDING THE ISSUE.

The Republican-Press and Record
devote much space to the discussion
OF the financial affairs Of Bates eoun-
ty, but each studiously avoids men,
tioning the point that The TINES
made In bringing on the discussion,
VIZ: That she figures Incorporated
In the grand Jury report Were trrnish-
ed by r. +. Harper, were u.f .ir and
misleading In pretending to sho 3 the
indebtedness OF the cousty 1T time
when the county had been running
eight or nine months without any
revenue coming In from taxation,
that the report claimed she figures
showed the true indebtedness, with
out any money In sight TO pay, when
In fact the collector as shat time held
thirty-six thousand dollars in his
hands OF the county's money, collect
ed In December and which he turned
over In 10 days thereafter. Those
figures were secured by Harper four
months after. and he made no effort
to obtain that fact and the Republi
can papers are studiously avoiding
making any mention there,i, show
Ing conclusively that It Is not true
condition OF affairs they wanted to
report, but one OF party bias and for
political effect
