In this cause it appears, by affidavit,

the ordinary process of law could not
be served upon him, and the said re-

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
Unions May Take Action, Fighting Ship
pers, in Order to Raise Their
Own Wages.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 1O.-Action
looking toward the immediate raising Of
freight rates may be taken by all the
unionized bodies Of railroad employees of
Louisville at meetings to be held this
week.
Higher freights or the prospect of low
er wages are the alternatives suggested.
The men have been appealed to by a
central committee in Chicago, appointed
by the railroad magnates to wage a ma
tional campaign for higher freights.
While shippers organizations all over
the United States are fighting the rail-
roads to prevent a further increase in
freight rates, the railroad men have COM
batted the move by appealing to their
employees, who number countless thou
sands throughout the United States.
A central committee was appointed to
wage an extensive campaign of educa-
tion," and all railroad men of the United
States will be entered in the fight.
The circular sent out ends as follows:
1T is earnestly hoped you will give
this question serious consideration and
let the general public understand that
you are a large part of the public and
that things affecting the railroads also
affect you as an employee. Remember
that you have your brains and muscle
invested in the railroad and that you
go to the pay car each month and draw
out your dividends in proportion to the
extent that the company prospers."

BUSCH TO GIVE
MUSEUM $4,000
ST. LOUIS BREWER WANTS TO HELP
PROJECT FOR GERMAN HIS
TORICAL COLLECTION.
DR.. HILL IN ANNOUNCEMENT.
American Ambassador to Berlin Speaks
Before the International His
torical Congress.
APPLAUD HIS SPEECH.

BERLIN, Aug. 10.-At today's session
here of the International Historical con-
gress David Jayne Hill, the American
ambassador to Germany, made the an
nouncement that Adolphus Busch Of st.
Louis was ready to give $4,000 towards
the Germanic museum building at Har-
ward university.
DIR. Hill said:
Son November 10, 1908, the anniver-
sary of the birth of Friedrich Won Schil-
Ter, the famous German poet, dramatist
and historian there was opened at Har'
ward a museum in which it was intended
collect an exhibit Of works representa-
tive of German art culture. This collection
has now grown to be one OF the most
complete of it's kind in existence. 1t has
received from his majesty, the German
emperor, not only assurances or ms gen
eral interest, but many substantial gifts
which were received in the United States
with gratitude and appreciation as marks
Of special friendship.
1.-The historic value of this collection
already has been very great and 1t prom
iseS to become perhaps the most impress
sive embodiment of art of the old world
to be found on the shores of the new
world. 1t is therefore with great pleas
ure that mo mySelI authorized 10 an
nounce that the well known American
citizen, Adolphus Busch of st. Louis,
president of the Germanic Museum as
sociation in letter to me, offers to con-
tribute towards the erection of suit
able building for the installation of the
, museum, the sum of $4,000 which is
one sixth of the amount it is expected
the building will COST"
The delegates to the congress, at the
conclusion Of this announcement APP
plauded Ambassador Hill, who added:
''The museum will constitute new evil
dence OF the influence of the past times
of other lands as exercised on the new
development of civilization, which might
be Of interest to the congress"

What About Sherman?

We are told by the Chicago Record
Herald that: 'The Kansas City Star ar
CUES that it would be a good thing if
Democratic Congress were elected to serve
with Taft as President. 1t says that the
country knows full we'll that if Taft were
elected and Cannon remained in the
Speakers chair the boss of the House
would obstruct progressive policies under
the new administration just as he did in
the last session of Congress. The domi-
nant party is under suspicion because Of
the reactionary strength in that session
and in the Republican convention"
And what would James S. Sherman
now and for years Cannon's right hand
man in the House-be doing in the presi-
dency of the Senate? Is it not reasonable
to believe that Mr.. Sherman would do a
little obstructing on his own account
when it came to progressive policies?"
Assuredly the Republican leader is hard
put for persuasive plea to the rank and
file of his party.

The Farmers Interest.

A Cadillac, Mich, reader of The Com
moner writes: "The farmers should be
with us on the tariff and trust questions.
Around here the farmers are getting four
and one-half cents a pound for hides
against eleven cents year ago. Yet the
price of leather is as high as it was last
year and no immediate promise of a
reduction, and his shoes and harness are
costing him fully as much as year ago.
This year our farmers received fifteen
cents for wool against a price of twenty
four year ago, yet the American Wooden
Company that controls about 70 per cent
of the leading wooden mills of the country
is charging as much for wooden cloths as
a year ago and the farmer must pay as
much for his clothing as he did last year
and he is lucky if he does not get more
cotton in his clothes than he does wool.
Let us lirect our efforts to convince the
farmers and laborers that their interests
lie with us. Along that line lies the road
to victory"
Yes, and the farmers should be with US
on the question of an economical admin
istration. They should be with us in the
protest against the exercise of arbitrary
power by the Speaker whereby the House
of Representatives has ceased to be a
popular government.
They should be with us in the condem-
nation of the misuse of patronage; IN
the demand for railroad regulation that
will regulate: in the advocacy OF public
ity for campaign contributions BEFORE
election day.
They should be with us in the opposi-
ton to that Capitalization which would
destroy our system of government and
ultimately make it necessary for the
farmer, as we'll as other citizens, to look
to the national capital, rather than to
the State capital and the county seat,
when seeking relief from corporation
abuses.
They should be with us for the popular
election of Senators for the income tax
for the guarantee to the laboring men, as
we'll as to all men, the right of trial by
jury; for the farmer has a deep concern
in the welfare of the laboring man who
is the consumer of the farmers products.
They should be with us on the guar
antee of bank deposits; for what shall it
profit a farmer if he obtains high prices
for his product and then have no place
where he may, with absolute confidence.
deposit his hard-earned money?
They should be with us upon the great
question 'shall the people rule" for the
farmer has a deep and abiding interest
in popular government; and if he does
not already know it, investigation will
reveal to him the fact that in the Ian
guage of the Democratic national plat
form shall the people rule is the over
shadowing issue which manifests itself
in all the questions now under discus
sion'

Seriously Hurt.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Four chill
dren of one family dead and ten other
persons seriously burned or injured is
the record of a fierce blaze that early
today swept through a crowded tene-
ment in East 10Th street. Scores were

panic ensued as the scantlly clad ten
ants rushed to the street. The dead
all were the children of Vincenzo Saus
to, jantor of the house, aged from S
months to 10 years. Frank Sausto, son
of the janitor is dying from burns and
Sausto and his wife are both suffering
from severe burns and about the face
and body AS he leaped from second

managers will take the people into their
confidence
Not ISSueSa


Attorney General Wade Fl. Ellis of
Ohio, who was a member of the commit
tee on resolutions in the Republican ma
tional convention, issued a statement in
which, referring to the propositions voted
down in the Republican convention, he
says: ''Of the seven omissions he (Mr.
Bryan) refers to, six are in no sense
issues before the people at this time, nor
has there been any attempt to make them
such by the administration, nor by any
other influential element in the party.
The seventh concerns injunctions."
Many Republican papers suppressed
this portion of Mr.. Ellis statement. The
reason for the suppression will be read
lily understood when it is remembered
that among the propositions which Mr..
Ellis says are ''in no sense issues before
the people" are the following:
Publicity of campaign contributions.
Ascertaining the value of railroads.
The national income tax.
The encroachment of predatory wealth.
Popular election of United States Sen
ators.
Mr.. Ellis has, perhaps, noticed that
since the publication of his statement
the Republican candidate for President
has given proof that he has discovered
that the people have some concern in the
publicity of-cam paign-con prop
osition.
