THE ROAD THAT DOES NOT.

Not long since there was pretty
much Of a stir caused by the dis
coyery that the track Of the Lex.
ington branch of the Missouri
Pacific railroad was made up of
rotten ties, rusty rails and broken
angle bars. Mr.. Williams of
the Kansas City Post did some
research work along that line
and Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner Knott walked over
a score of miles of the track.
Each had the pleasure of ex-
tracing with his fingers several
spikes from the decayed ties.
Commissioner Knott recon-
mended that the track be put
into good condition and that the
trains be slowed down until
travelling was safe. No one
cared much about the decrease
of speed. At the rate the Lex
ington branch trains run there
is not much danger of personal
injury in case of a wreck, but
something should be done to
compel the company to remedy
its roadbed.
Compulsion of the most strin.
gent sort is necessary to make
the Missouri Pacific do anything.
The city council of Lexington has
repeatedly attempted to get the
company to put in a light at the
crossing of its track and Twent-
ieth street. For months the
company has neglected to take
even this simple precaution a.
this dangerous crossing.
The only thing which the Mis-
souri, Pacific has recently done
for Lexington was the building
of the new station and that was
done only after a long period o.
delay.
A respectable railroad through
Lexington would be hailed with
delight.

small minority Of Democrats in
this section who believed him to
be a more,likely candidate than
the Nebraskan. But now his
game is up in this neck of the
woods.
A few days ago he sneaked in
to Kansas City. The prominent
Democrats of that town were
anxious to meet him and not at
all il~l-disposed toward his as
.pirations; but instead Of an
nouncing his visit he came and
went with secrecy. He gave
none of the influential Dem
ocrats the pleasure Of greeting
him. He made his presence
known only at sanctum of the
Star, where he had a conference
with the greatest enemy Of true
Democracy in Missouri--Will-
lam r. Nelson. Immediately af-
ter the conference Governor John
son proceeded to the station and
liked for other fields,
Now the Star has lost its CON
troll over the Democracy of Mis-
souri,. The Kansas City Post
after a period of vicissitudes,
mistakes and mismanagement is
at last in a position whereof com
mands the respect and attention
Of many more Democrats than
does the Star.
The Post has said many kind
things of Mr.. Johnson and at one
time so expressed it's belief in
his superiority over Mr.. Bryan
that it stirred up a great wave OF
Indignation throughout Missouri.
Mr.. Johnson then might have
had the full support of the
Post. But instead he chose tC

came to Kansas City evidently
for the purpose Of paying
homage to it's owner.
Mr.. Johnson may have beer
ignorant of the situation when hi
did this; but he has ruined his
chances of getting any en-
couragement from the Democrat
of Missouri.

Ere MAIL DELIYERY.

The prospects for free mail
delivery are anything but salts
factory to the citizens of Lex
ington, and although a large
majority of them want this i'm
provement, practically nothing
is being done toward getting it.
Lexington is entitled to free
delivery and has been for more
than two years. Towns which
are smaller and less improved
have had it a long time. Mar
shall has it. Carrolton has it.
Why Lexington has not come
to it is a matter of mystery. The
council last year ordered the
streets designated and the
houses numbered and awarded
the contract to Harry Mountain.
That work is not yet completed,
but could be finished up in a few
days. In regard to sidewalks
many citizens believe that those
of Lexington now are sufficient.
At any rate in Sedalia and Kan.
sas City and other cities of Mis-
souri, mail carriers go where
there is no sign of a sidewalk.
But even if the sidewalks we're
necessary only a little work
would be required, as nearly all
the residences in Lexington now
have proper approaches.
Why, then, can't we have free
delivery?

What To do
in Dyspepsia

Dieting has become a great fad in
America, and just as, years ago, we, as
4 nation, ~over-ate, so now we are under
eating. The one is as bad as the other.
Man needs food and plenty of it to sus-
tain life and to give strength to compete
in this busy world.
1t is not, however, the fact that you
may eat too much that hurts you, but
that you don't digest what you eat.
And II that results In dyspepsia you will not
.ure the trouble by cutting down your food sup
oly. II your digestive organs were creating the
proper amount OF gastric and peptic juices you
you'd have no dyspepsia. To cure the disease
gu must create an abundance OF these necessary
juices.
This can only be done bya reliable tonic laxa-
I've, and. as Its name indicates. DR.. Caldwell's
yrup Pepsin contains the very ingredients
iec1ed TO do this. Take 1t regularly for awhile
sccording to the explicit directions on each bot

THE LOGIC OF 1T.

In the midst of its remorseless
pursuit of trusts and monopolies the
state pauses long enough to organ
ize an important trust of it's own. In
ton in Fort Bend county the state
enters into an agreement to sell for
period of ten years all the raw
material to the Eldridge sugar mill
which is reserved from the deal
Many things might easily happen in
much less than ten years. Much bet
ter sugar mills might go up conven-
| lent to the farm, but there the state
would be under contract to promote
a monopoly by selling to the Ed
ridge mill and refusing to sell to the
independent concern. 1t is true the
state reserves an option to finally
take over the mill at an agreed price
or at one fixed by arbitratiJn, but
this is only a problematical affair
The state may not want the mill
property at all, but it is bound to
support that particular mill to the
exclusion of all others. If this is not
an agreement in restraint of trade,
what is it? Negotiations are said to
be on foot for the purchase by the
state of the Cunningham plantation
of 5000 acres, with the exception
of the Cunningham mill and rein
cry. Of course if the deal goes thru
similar contract will be wanted for
exclusive control of the products by
this mill. Then since practically all
the sugar mills are supposed to be
under the control of the American
Sugar Refining company. isn't this a
virtual merger of the state farms
and the sugar trust? The state of
Texas should get big looking glass
and examine itself-Fort Worth

ANOTHER PATRIOT.

Colonel Frank NJ. Bushick has
found a statesman to his liking
Senator Joseph Beason Foraker of
Ohio. Colonel Bushick says
Senator Foraker has always been
ans aggressive and Independent man
in politics, he owes his prominence
and position to his temperament and
to his high ability. In his young days
he was dubbed Fire Alarm because
of his habit of expressing himself in
pronounced terms. Despite the i'm
preston to the contrary, Senator
Foraker is no hater of the south. His
course in the Brownsville matter
was not intended as thrust at that
section or to offend the sensibilites
of the southern people. He was wag-
ing war directly against Theodore
Roosevelt and William H. Taft, two
politicians of his own party. who had
set out with the announced purpose
of eliminating him from public life.
He is about to lose out all along the
line. but if he fails he will go down
with his flag flying, and in his re-
tirement Ohio will lose one of the
ablest senator's and most attractive
figures she has yet contributed to
public life"
Senator Foraker is one of the
most dangerous men in public life
today and the most consummate
demagogue in the senate. He has
never cast one vote in the interest
of the American people and for
years and years has been a malig-
nant enemy of the south and its
people. He was the prince of bloody
shirt" wavers in the old days, a
champion of the force bill and voted
to place southern elections in the
control of federal supervisors and
United States marshals. In Ohio he
has ever been the champion of 1.-THE
interests and the chum and ally OF
Boss Cox, a former dive keeper and
the worst elements in the republican
party. Colonel Bushick is a grea1
discoverer and no mistake. He should
next introduce the manly qualities
and patriotic motives of Nelson p
Aldrich, Chauncey NJ. Depew an6
Thomas c. Plat to the people of the
southwest.-D Times Herald
