Attitude Toward Railroads.

The report sums up the attitude OF
the committee toward the railroads in
the following language:
But while earnestly opposed to rash
attacks upon the railways and 70
everything else that may interfere with
their efforts to prove faithful servants
of the public, we have always been IN
favor of their regulation by the ma
tional government"
The report, abiding to railroad COM
pensstiOn for carrying the mails, pro-
tests that shippers should not be
taxed by higher freight rates in order
that the postOffice department may
show a smaller deficit in operation.
Speaking of the tariff revision, the
committee deplores national -eNtrava-
gance as being the cause of the 800, 000.-
900 deficit and the consequent necessity
Of increased taxation. It suggests that
duties on crude mats and steel might
safely have been further reduced to the
advantage of the general manufactur-
ing interests

dale, Locked Up While Detectives
Investigate Tale of Fire and
Narcotic

c. B. Mcleod, rancher living near
Lawndale, was placed in the detention
ward of the receiving hospital last
night and will be held pending an in
vestigation of wild and improbable
story which he told.
Mcleod told the police that mys-
FERROUS woman whose name he refused
to give held a mortgage on small
ranch which he owned at Lawndale.
He stated that the mortgage was given
without consideration, and in order to
foreclose and secure possession of the
property the woman drugged him. He
also stated that he was heir to a large
property and that a number of people
were trying to put him out of the way
in order that they might secure his
property.
He stated further that ten days ago,
at a house at 1855 South Main street.
the mysterious woman had given him
a drug which caused him to lose his
memory, and that while he was in this
state the house was set on fire. A mys-
terious fire occurred at the house in
question at that time, and the police
will investigate his connection with
the fire. Mcleod is believed to be UNI
balanced mentally to such an extent
that hefshould be confined, and 1t is
probableAhat an inquiry into his con-
dition will be made by alienists.

ness of prohibition to bring about need

attention of the citizens by actual
trial.
Abuses Admitted
"That there are abuses in the liquor
traffic cannot be successfully denied,
and that those abuses should be done

good citizens; it simply remains to de-

''In the olden times, when a tooth
ached, there was but one thing to be

to clean the cavity and save the tooth.
Prohibition simply destroys the part
that shows and leaves the worthless

has had his drink in moderation, and
he is a philosopher and scientist: a

did not make the Turk unspeakable,
nor drink make the German philoso-

a philosopher of the Turk nor the
moderate use of liquors make an UNI
speakable citizen of the German.
1.-THE National Model License league
stands for moderation in drinking and
is against the abuse of Liquors.
"The Model License law is based on
the laws of Germany and the laws of
Toronto, Canada. They are laws that
have as their object the regulation
of the traffic, without fear or favor;
the divorcing of the business from
politics and the placing it among those
businesses that are run on merit, and
where the proprietor is adjudged as
all men should be, by his conduct and
