TWO DISTURBING FACTORS.
Railway Business Good But Fare Bill.
and Labor Demands Heavy.

and Labor Demands Heavy.
Chicago, March 2.--Officials of the
Western Railroad Association assert
that there has been no falling off SO far
this year in the traffic movement over
their lines. They still have a larger
tonnage to haul than they have car ac-
comrlodations The car shortage Is as
severe as it has been at any time dur
ing this fiscal year, and there is no per-
manent Improvement in this respect in
sight. Tonnage for transportation
continues to pour in from all directions
at more rapid rate than the roads
can handle
Old officials say that traffic has been
heavier for this season Of the year than
ever before in their experience. Indica-
tions point to a considerable increase
from now on, as the regular spring
business is setting in, and it will be
heavier this year than formerly. Busi-
ness in the southwest Is peculiarly ac-
tive at present and the demand for
merchandise for that section is inordin-
arily heavy.
The only disturbing element now in
western territory is the action of the
state legislatures in regard to passen-
ger rates and demands by labor unions.
The roads appear to have made up
their minds fully to resist the enforce
ment of any maximum 2-cent passen-
ger rate laws that may be enacted.
They say they will fight enforcement to
the court of last resort, and they have
no doubt Of their ability to win out in
the end, because, they claim to have
abundance Of figures to show that any
reductions in their present rates
would be confscatory in their nature.

HARD AFTER BROWN
Members Of Grievance Committee OF
Pottawattamie County Bar Associa-
ton, Ask the kansan, Who is War
ring on the Saloons, What Excuse
He Has for Being On Earth?

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 2.-The mem
bers of the grievance committee OF the
Pottawattamie County Bar Association
called upon Mr. j. Brown, of Kansas,
who is warning on the saloons here for
the fees that are in it, to whom the
query was politely but carefully put:
"What excuse have you for being on
earth?"
The question propounded Brown was
not exactly or literally this but Brown
considered the visit of the members Of
the committee in quite the same light
he would have their mission taken this
turn.
The actual reason for the call at
Browns office was to ascertain wheth-
e,. or not Brown was entitled to prac-
tice law in Iowa. After lengthy grill
ling and after the kansan had re-
marked several times what fine day
it was the committee pulled itself to-
gether, backed to the door and bowed
itself out. 1t formulated it's report,
which will probably be presented to
the association at meeting to be held
today.
Brown filed ten new cases yesterday,
making a total of sixty cases he has
pending against Council Bluffs saloons
and resorts.

crime, but We're angry almost to the
last degree"
When the attorney for the defense
ceased reading the hypothetical ques-
ton, Dr. Clark said:

cation by the interstate commerce
commission in New York, today said:
"There is not single new point

Div a re-hash of the matter that was
given wide publicity seven years ago.
This continual reform agitation sim
ply shows the animosity that exists
today against men and corporations
that have made success. The inter-
state commerce commission could pro-
duce far better results If the mem
bers would try to cooperate with the
business interests Of the country in
stead of antagonizing them. In view
of the unfair methods of administra-
tion, as carried out by the interstate
commerce commission, there is no In
centive for a man to be successful, but
am sure in the end, the American
spirit Of old, of fair play will pre-
vail. That is more to the purpose
than the square DEAL We may have
a square deal but unfair play. There
seems to be tendency among all un-
successful people to assail those who
are successful.
"All so-called charges made at the
recent hearing in New York are fully
covered in the application in October,
1900. for listing Chicago & Alton rail-
way securities in the New York stock
exchange. Every point brought out by
the interstate commerce commissioners
