$7o,oo0,ooo WAS GRATED
Representative Lloyd Shows How the
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

AcpttstHtdufe Jalnts l. Liosut OF
Missouri. chairman OF the Democratic
national congressional committee. on
March 10. 1905. exposed the fiagant
theft OF the peoples money through
the unfair weighing OF mails when Of
fetal tests were made TO determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
MIR. Chairman. in delivering my ad-
dress few days since on postal con
ditions. in discussing the interpreia-
ton OF tie law as TO the weighing OF
the mail. | failed TO stare the law on
the subject. and I wish 10 do so now;
"'The average weight to be asccr.
taIned. In every case. by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such a num-
ber OF successive working days. not
less than thirty. nt such times after
June 30. 1873. and not less frequently
than once In every four years
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed TO this date.
Until Marcel .. 1907. the depart
ment required the mall TO be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered. so that the weighing covered
q period OF one hundred and five days
instead OF ninety successive days. In
other words. working days were con
rtrued 10 mean week days. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this IN
depreciation which had been accepted
g.
issued the following order rs his con-
struction OF the law:
THAT when the weight OF mail Is
taken on railroad routes. the whole
number OF days the mails are weighed
shall be used as n divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day
This required In effect. that. in
stead OF dividing the number OF work
Ing or week days In the weighing
period. the devisor should be the num-
Der OF days on which mail was actual
ly carried during the period. II 1t
was weighed one hundred and five
days. tie dlvisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and five. II
the mail was not carried on Sunday.
the divisor would be ninety. This. as
you can readily see. would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days. for the ac-
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried In six days
or in seven.
'The present postmaster general.
seeing this predicament, issued another
order OF construction. known as order
412,' which is as follows:
"'That when the weight of mail is
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number OF days included in the weigh
Ing period shall be used as divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day

large plants, one at Rooseville and
one at Cotton, California, will be
erected, the first capable Of chilling
twenty carloads in four hours and
the latter having the capacity OF
forty carloads in the same time. To
accomplish the same result in an Or
dinary plant would require four days.
The company's scientists have
demonstrated that the sudden chill
ing of vegetable matter causes an
absolute suspension Of the process of
decay and the company announces
that the new method practically
does away with the loss of time and
consequent loss by decay in ship

Mr.. Bryan is the ardent friend OF
the West because he knows the West.
He realizes that our people have
been made dependent upon the East
and stock manipulation because of
the lack of law rendering banking
safe and remunerative- His plan
means as much for the banks as for
the people. 1t means that money
will come out of irs hiding places
and flow back into the channels OF
trade. Every business man should
grasp this great point, that only
lack of confidence causes present
stagnation. Every owner of real
estate should preceive this fact. w.
II. Allison, a banker from his youth
up, tells us that what is needed to
make banking safer and panics i'm
possible is this democratic plank
embodied into law. Taft is pledged

WHERE DID YOU GET ITr
"Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That
He Show Where He Got
His Wealth.

Sneaker Cannon intimated that Mr..
Bryan had become a millionaire. The
speaker was speaking in his home
town, Danville. Ill.
The following day Mr.. Bryan, speak
ing also in Mr.. Cannon's home dis
trict, opened his ledger to the gaze
OF the American people and showed
that he is worth approximately S15o,-
600.
Having thus accepted Speaker Can
mons challenge to "'fess up" Mr..
Bryan demanded in return that
Speaker Cannon ''snitch on himself"
that is. that Mr.. Cannon also "'fess
up." and relate just how he got his
wealth.
1t is a perfectly proper thing. too;
for some people have been worried
that Mr.. Bryan has succeeded by his
great industry in upbuilding a com
potency for his old age.
Salary. Lectures and Books.
.It was from what saved from my
congressional salary. and gained from
lectures and books and the profits Of
The Commoner' that / got what
money and property I have" Mr..
Bryan answered. in substance. "wili
Mr.. Cannon now tell the people how
he amassed his wealth. He has been
hampered more or less by official
duties during his term Of service In
the congress. yet In spite OF that OBJ
stacle. he is commonly presumed TO
possess considerable OF this worlds
goods"
Now Uncle Joe's'' Turn.
None will deny that il is now Uncle
Joe's turn TO take the people into his
confidence. Down in Danville, IL is
true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother
ss bankers are thought each 10 have
smassed much more than 100000.
Certainly. his credit in the financial
world rests on the. general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
II that be true. II is to be hoped
that the speaker will give details as
10 how be got IT II IL be untrue. then
let him tell exsctiy how much he Is
worth. and OF what his wealth cou.
sists. and follow Mr.. Bryan's example
in taking the people into his conf
dence.
Mr.. Cannon cannot gracefully Ne
fuse TO do this. For he himself In
vited the demand now made on him.

SPRING MILLINERY.

A maiden drew from it's big white box
Her last years best straw bonnet:
She twisted and turned it, but, oh,
dear me!
1t had "has been' writ upon it!
So she vented her rage on the inno-
cent thing
Poked dents in it's year-old crown.
And then, to complete the destruction
quite,
On it's brim danced a vicious break
down!
The sorry chapeau remained where it
For several days in corner,
When the maiden, for want of some
thing to do,
Pulled it out, like female J. Horner,
And found that because of the twists
and the dents,
The "creation" once perched on her
pate,
Presented style very chic of its own,
And now wore a shape up-to-date!
From this will be seen that Dame
Fashion DEGREES,
No style is too queer or bizarre,
And tits comfort to know, when out
landish you look,
just that much more modish you are!
