NEWSPAPER AND RAILROAD
TRANSPORTATION

Our esteemed contemporary, the

exchange Of advertising space for rail
road transportation is a special
privilege" and says that it is demon
alizing and corrupting.
It says this not in so many words
but In substance.
We have accepted railroad trans
portatlon on this basis for years, but
in accepting it we never once felt
like a felon or a culprit. nor did we
feel that it was done by the railroad
companies for the purpose of corrupt
ing us.
If it is a special privilege" our I'M
derstanding of the meaning of this
phrase is all at sea.

his suffering was terrible. He used dif-

TO be good for that disease, but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When h

better and he cured himself entirely
with CuticUra and has never been

that he could not wear his shoe. A

THE DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE

Immediately after President Roose-
welt sent his latest message to con-
gress, Hon. John Sharpe Williams,
the minority democratic leader in the
house, issued a statement dening the
attitude of the democratic party to-
ward the legislation proposed by
President Roosevelt. The statement
describes what republican legislation
the democrats will support, what they
will oppose, and what concessions
they demand on the part of the ma
jOrity as the price of refraining from
an organized flibuster throughout
the remainder of the session.
Mr.. Williams opens his statement
by saying:
Some things in the presidents re-
cent message are so Immediately i'm
portant TO the interests of the entire
country as to pass the bounds of par
tisanship and to make it excusable, if
not necessary, for me to say some
thing concerning them with the view
Of assuring the president himself and
reasOnably-inclined republican mem
bers of the house and the country of
the support and Endorsement or the
opposition Of the democratic minority.
Insofar as the things urged by the
president are good things, I would
like the country to know that all he
has to do is to deliver twenty or TWEEN
ty-five republican house votes in favor
of them. These, conjoined with the
solid democratic votes, will put them
through.
