st. Louis, Sept 25.-"Presldent
Roosevelt lies" declared William S.
Cowherd, democratic kovernor Of
Missouri, today in an interview CIV
en- the Star-Chronicle over the phone
from Richland, Missouri.
Governor Cowherd said Roosevelt
shows himself big liar when he says
that the democrats have 100000 left
over for financing the present cam
paign from the last. Everybody real
ICES that ii would be impossible to
have that much left over from the
last campaign. Roosevelt lies-just
plainly lies. Realizing that the de-
feat of Taft is assured the republican
party is in desperate straights. Roose-
welt has Enthusiastically failed TO make
good his charge against Haskell.
Il want to say again, That $780,
900 fund story is made out OF whole
cloth. Roosevelt is trying to make
himself an issue by injecting him
self into this campaign and is en-
deavoring to attract attention from
the real issue by a mud singing con-
test to elect his protege."
Taft Is Better.
Cowherd referred to the statement
given out by State Chairman Wood
ruff of New York after a conference
with the president in which he said
that it was strange such a big amount
should appear in the treasury just
after Haskell was made treasurer.
The president referred to the money
as left over from the last campaign.
Chairman Mack OF the democratic
committee wired Roosevelt asking an
explanation of the statement, but
Roosevelt ignored the message.
Clinton, Sept 25.-Taft's voice is
improved today. but DR., Richardson
advises as much rest as possible.

THE ELKS' BADGE

the handsome copper badges they used
later as souvenirs at the Elks conven-

the board of trade at once perceived
their appropriateness as an advertise

leadership of the world. He secured
a few of the badges personally, being
a member of the order, and sent them
to some of the boards of trade in the
west with whom he has had extensive
correspondence.
Yesterday he received two letters of
acknowledgement One came from

the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, it being a very appreciative let
ter and enclosing also printed ref
erence to the badge and the efforts of
Phoenix Ezlks to boost for Los Angeles
as the convention city next year, the
article being from the Times.
The other letter came from the Cal
ifornia Promotion Committee of San
Francisco. This acknowledgement
also contained duplicates of two quite
lengthy items concerning the badge,
which were published in two of San
Francisco's papers. The items make
reference to the publicity Arizona will
secure through such a unique badge
that not only serves the purpose of the
Elks but advertises one of the terri
tory's greatest resources.

REAL ROSES

At an enthusiastic meeting of
the Spokane AID Mems club last
evening it was decided to send an
automobile decorated with Spokane
grown roses to participate in the
great floral parade at Portland
early in June. 1t is the unanimous
verdict of the club that the Inland
Empire capital is some shucks at
growing fine roses herself, and ev-
cry effort will be made to take a
fall out of the Portlanders' pride
in her floral growing abilities by
sending a car that will take the
first prize.
This city will be we'll represent

carnival, for the club will send

land June 1928. and the delegates
will have the honor of also guiding
the Spokane rose car in the parade
A number of other measures
were adopted for spreading the
fame and name of Spokane all over
the country. The meeting was one
of the most successful in the his

bath, after which the rest of their
prison clothes are given to them.

a green shapeless bodice and
skirt, check apron, white cap,
yellow badge bearing a number,

The stockings are of thick
wool and barely reach to the

night each is given a cocoanut

No letters are allowed to be re-

RAILROADS USE COURTS
To EvAOE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE REGULATION

The International G. Great North
ern railroad of Texas, another
Gould road, has asked a receiver
for similar reasons In an inter
view George J. Gould admits that
he has sought the federal court re-
Ownership for the Texas property
in order to escape the necessity of
making certain improvements de-
manded by the Texas state COM
mission.
Those who have looked into the
subject say there is no reason in
the world for the receivership of
the Seaboard Air Line, except a
personal feud between Thomas F.
Ryan and John Shelton Williams,
who have long fought to control
that property. SO long as a road
pays not only it's running expenses,
but per cent dividends-and the
Air Line does both-there is no
old-fashioned reason for throwing
the property into the hands of the
courts.
1t is the clearly expressed opin-
ion of the interstate commerce
commission that efforts to evade
the federal law by resort to federal
court receiverships will not avail.
The officer of the court appointed
receiver is just as amenable to the
orders Of the commission as the
ordinary officers of the railroad.
Sen. Newlands thinks that re.
ceiverships are too often used to
float new bond deals and load pro-
perties with unwarranted debt.
Il wish" said he, there were
some way to compel federal court
receivers of railroads to apply
sound principles to the matter of
floating bonds and stocks against
roads in their hands Too often in
the past roads have come out of
the hands of receivers 'reorganiZed'
in such way that the small in
weston has been eliminated and the
inside manipulators have taken
over the property for themselves,
and then used it as the basis of
new watered stock and bonds. Con
gress ought to pass a law to cover
the whole subject of railway Sc.
curity issues.

BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, d. c., March II.
-Resorting to the courts as a
means to evade the law is the lat
est move of the railroads. To go
into the hands of a receiver-a
nice friendly federal judge re-
ceiver-and then to thumb your
nose at state commissions and
small creditors and then complain
that lit is all due to the Hepburn
law" has been recommended by
the railroad law departments as a
good thing.
The Gould roads have led off in
this practice. The latest move is
that of the Western Maryland
Railroad Co, whose officers
swear that their road is entirely
solvent, but at the same time put
their road in the custody of Judge
Morris, U. S. district court at Bal
timore. The judge kindly makes
the president of the road, B. F.
Bush, receiver; and now the bond
holders and doctors are sitting
back and saying: What are you
going to do about it?''
The following significant para
graph is taken from the official
announcement of the receiver
ship:
president Bush says that the
company is not confronted with
any failures of it's revenues to
cover its full fixed charges, but it
must at an early date encounter
the problem presented by the
commodity clause Of the federal
rate law"
This means that the Western
Maryland is part o. the combina-
ton of roads which has composed
the coal trust. The Hepburn law
makes it illegal to continue bust
ness as a coal trust and also as a
railroad BY May / the coal min
ing railroad must get rid of it's
coal mines Not wishing to obey
the law, the bondholders of the
road have had the Bowling Green
Trust Co. petition for a receiver.
So the federal court now has
charge of the property-charged
with the task Of disobeying the
law!
