RAILROAD ADVERTISING.
ties of Travel tn
America.

When the passenger departments Of
the railroads began to advertise the
advantages Of their respective lines
and the beauties and points Of interest
along the right Of way. the conserva-
tives stood aghast at the innovation,
says the Toledo Tones. 1t was freely
predicted that they would get TIED OF
wasting their money OF that their en-
ployers would call them down and re-
fuse TO countenance such expenditures.
Yet how different has been the out
come. The pioneers in the business
have been followed by imitators and
competitors. until some of the most
attractive and interesting and instruc-
tive advertising Of the day is done by
the railroads. 1t is. of course. impos-
sible to know the full extent Of the
influence Of this advertising, but the
result has been to immensely stimulate
travel. We Americans are Just learn
ing to appreciate leisure and to know
that one doesn't have to go thousand
miles from home to get genuine rec
reation and an education that is a
pleasure to acquire.
The theory that everything worth
seeing is in Europe has been exploded
| and the railroads, with their persist
ent, artistic and well constructed ad-
vertising have lighted the fuse that
led to the explosion. Everyone with a
spark OF ambition desires to see sur
roundings different from his own. He
wants to travel. But he breads going
INTO strange scenes and conditions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUSTIN, Tex, March 4.-The liveliest
interest is being taken by the people OF
Texas. irrespective of political party at
filiation. in the contest that is being
waged for the democratic nomination fol-
Congress in the fifth district. The can
didates are Representative Jack Beall
| who is serving his third term; w. G.
Sterett of Dallas. who is one of the bes,
known newspaper men in the south, and
State Senator E. c. Mayfield.
Although Mr. Sterett has been actively
engaged in newspaper work in Texas fol
more than a quarter of a century. he
never before sought Office. He was fol
many years the Washington correspond
ent of the Galveston-Dallas News, and
was on terms of intimacy with Presiden,
cleveland. President Mckinley and other
men of national prominence in the two
dominent parties.
He was a companion or Preslden,
Roosevelt when the latter was assistant
secretary Of the navy. and is always an
invited guest of the President at the
White House when he visits Washington
When President Roosevelt made trip
through Texas three years ago MT
Sterett accompanied him in his capacity
as CORRESPONDENT for his newspaper. II
was noticed that the PRESIDENT always al
dressed him as Bill
Mr.. Sterett is as plain and unpretentious
as the most ordinary farmer; In fact. he
takes great pride in proclaiming that ne
belongsto that class OF citizenship; He
owns a good farm near Dallas and does
much work upon it with his own hands.
Bailey an Issue in Campaign.
Mr.. Sterett was opposed to the re-elec-
ton of Senator J. w. Bailey to the United
States Senate. and this is being made the
principal issue of the campaign. Senator
Mayfield voted against Mr.. Baileys re-
election as a member of the Senate. and
he is. therefore. on the same side OF the
question as Mr. Sterett. Representative
Beall is strong Bailey adherent. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Mayfield will withdraw
from the race. leaving clear field for

is the second accident the Lackawanna
has had to her rudders in the past month.
About three weeks ago, while the heavy

ton to Dallas il contains a number OF

Mr.. Beall has strong following. His
friends assert that he has made a good
record as representative and that there
are just grounds for giving him a
fourth term. 1t is charged against Mr..
Sterett that he was a Palmer-Buckner
democrat and that he has always had too

Why doesn't Uncle Sam go after the
Beef Trust? Why were not all the
facts about this awful trust given to
the public? The secret Of the famous
chapter five of the Garfield report ON
the beef trust Is revealed. Chapter
five was held in reserve or suppress
ed on orders Of the man higher up"
and relates to and discusses these three
propositions, and only these three:
First-What was the cause In March,
1904, and about that time for the un-
usually large margin between the price
OF cattle and dressed beef for market? /?
Second-Was that wide margin the
result Of combination by the packers
In violation of the Sherman law?
Thlrd-Was the injunction against
the packers being then violated?
All Of these questions are answered
afiirmatlyely in chapter Of the re-
port Of Mr.. Garfield. The facts on
which he arrived at his conclusions
were not furnished by the beef pack.

etc, furnished by Representative Mar,

Mr.. Garfield DID REPORT on this

to be found in his report. This fact
