ST LOUIS. oct. z3.-Thc United States
circuit court this afternoon refused 70 issue
an Injunction restraining the Interstate
Commerce commission from putting into
effect an order reducing rates on cattle
shipments from the southwest territory TO
Chicago. st. Louis. Kansas City and other
points.
The application for the Injunction was
made by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway and fifty-five other western and
southwestern roads. The petition for the
restraining order was filed about three
weeks ago and stated that the rates pre-
scrlbed by the commission were confis-
catory and. would cause the roads involved
TO lose nearly sl.5oo,ooo year.
The ruling OF the courJ today does not
apply to the matter OF the reduction Of
switching charges at the Chicago terminal
yards. The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has already been restrained from re
ducinE the terminal charge on live stock
from 3 10 81 a car, and when its attention
was called TO the fact that In again Issuing
an order reducing terminal charges It had
violated the INJUNCTION. the commission sns-
pended the order. The petitions OF the rail-
ways in both the terminal charge case and
the stock rate cases were filed at the same
time, but the terminal charge was not dis
cussed, in the opinion OF the court today
The judges sitting today were adams.
Vandevanter and Hook. In denying the
Injunction they ruled that the court had
right 10 60 into the evidence and determine
whether the new rate was confiscatory.
but that before It took up that phase OF
the matter. there must be showing that
the Interstate Commerce commission had
exceeded us authority. This had not been

THE RIGHT KIND

Gov. A. B. Cummins of Iowa, has
been elected to the United States SEN
ate to fill out the unexpired term OF
the late Senator Allison. Gov. Cum
Minis favors an immediate revision OF
the present tariff and is uualterably
opposed to freight discrininal1ons and
stock watering by corporations. His
position on each of the abuses will be
heartily endorsed by every voter in
Iowa and the other states, VINO is
not tied up 10 trusts and corpora tions.
He is the right kind of a "progres-
slve"- republican VIII" stands by his
party and it's nominees.

MAUDLIN SENTIMENTALITA

A great deal of twaddle has been
written relative to caring for our ex-
presidents, some advocating that thew
be given life pension % S25. 900 per
annum and others that 'aw be err
acted making them life M Lers of
the United States Senate. An ex-
president IL no more or less a man
than when he was elected and became
the servant of the people; and with the
salary paid him during his term of
office, he certainly should be able to
asve enuogh to protect him from want
in his old age. Most of our presidents
were wealthy men befure being eleva,
ted to the highest office in the gift uf
the people, and this being a republic
in which all men are supposed TO be
equal, it is decidedly I'M American al
this late day in the life of the Repub-
lie to begin to create political caste.
1t is only maudlin sentimer tality and
in direct opposition to the established
customs of the past. Our ex- presidents
have not been paupers, that they
should be cared for by the nation.
The writer opires, that should such
a proposition be suggested to Theodore
Roosevelt there would be an explosion
and language used that would be no.
and decidedly pointed.
What we need in this country at
the present tim e, is more sense and
less assininity. Too much paternalism
and too little individual independence :;
too many laws and too few enforced !;
too much taxes and too many taxeat-
ers. What the country really demands
most, is freedom frcm fools and dem
agogues who are burdening the people
with unnecessary and burdensome
taxes-a few statesmen, who are not
everlastingly looking for office: who
have the best interests of the nation
at heart.

done, the next House will be con
trolled by the democrats lust as sure

vision which will safeguard the wages

ers of the country, tariff for revenue

which is as much part of this ma
toms policy as the Monroe doctrine.
The fact should not be lost sight of,
that there must be sufficient protection
to keep our factories and mills in
operation so as to afford employment
tor labor at fair wages, but not so
high as to prevent Expectations, with
the consequent loss of revenue and
give the home manufacturers an oppor-
tuniy to organize trusts and rob the
home consumers, as has been the case
under t.. : ingley tariff.
Then. ther are any articles on
the shedule, the re- - of which ought
to be greatly raised, and do no injury
to the laboring and producing classes.
and many articles which might be put
on the free trade list, especially arti-
cles which enter into the daily con-
sumption of the wage earners.
The people will watch the next Cum
gress and should the Republican party

''At present the catchword of the

that the clerical healers will have
nothing to do with any sufferer from
organic diseases, and they use their
