7. A. GRIFFIN REPLIES TO
DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL ON
FREIGHT RATE ADVANCES
tFrom Chicago Daily News.)
Mr.. Griffin Replies.

l desire to call attention to an edito
nal printed in The Daily News. May
81. headed Back Fire on the Shippers
In which you make the following state
ments: First, that my representation
OF the case Is not candid; second, that
what did have to say was based upon
the action of the shippers conference,
and. third. that had no right to pose
as business man having interests In
common with the shippers.
The circulation for signatures of a
statement relating to freight rates was.
as far as I was concerned, confined to
fellow members of the Railway Bust
ness association, and no reference was
made to the shippers conference. 1
personally attended this conference
and have no criticism to make on any
thing that was done there and none
was made or intended by me, but what
| deprecated" was contained in an ar
ticle sent out by the Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association, dated May Z, and,
as member of that Association,
personally wrote letter to each of its
Individual members, dated May IT. In
this | referred to the misleading and
unfair statements contained in the
circular of May mentioned above, and
in doing SO l was candid" I said
that the statement that railroads are
rapidly increasing their net earnings"
was not true and as to the correctness
of my statement l beg to refer to the
following:
The latest nterstate-commerce COM
mission reports show that during the
month of March eleven systems, repre-
senting every railroad north and west
on line drawn through Chicago and
ST. Louis, show an increase in gross
earnings for the month of March, of
nearly s7,00O,0O0 compared with March,
1909. while the net earnings for the
same roads in the same period show
decrease of $965,OO0: and the inter-
state commerce commission figures for
the ten months, July to March 81, in
1910, as compared with 1909, show an
increase in gross of over $4,000, 900,
while the net earnings of these same
systems in the same period of compari-
son, show a falling off of over $780,
900. And. as comparatively little of
the increases In wages had even gone
into effect during March, the railroads
must provide some means to increase
revenue that is already decreasing
on an increased amount of business,
and there is no way. for railroads to
provide this except by increasing their
rates. and surely there is reason for
the need of it,"

ond page of this Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association circular of May Z

The Outing Spirit.

the outing spirit. This means:
Learn to put up with whatever

Don't pose. That is, pretend you
like roughing 1t and outdoor life when
all you crave is crowded board walk
and the glitter of summer hotel.
Don't attempt more than you have
strength for.
Be a good sport without being reok-

these letters show, really adopted July 2.
1t took a long time for the petitioners OF the
colonies to conceive of independence. Leaders
like Samuel Adams waxed impatient with those
who believed peaceful settlement OF the trouble
possible without separation from the mother
country. Yet Washington in the first congress
denied that the colonies desired that it was to
their interest to set up for Independence. Frank

Strong Guarantee.

Catarrh causes debility. In our
opinion, most people suffering from
general debility have catarrh. Such
cases Of debility cannot be completely
cured by medicine not designed to
eradicate catarrh. In every case where
our remedy fails to give entire salts
faction we will not charge cent for
the medicine employed during the
trial. Now, surely no one should hest
tate to believe us or to put our claim
to a practical test under such condi-
lions. We will take all the risk; no
one else can lose anything by the
transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that Rexa1l Mucu-
Tone rarely fails to do as we claim.
It is not a cure-all prescribed to cure
every disease that flesh is heir to. It
is intended for one purpose, i. e., to
cure catarrh by assailing the diseased
condition in a reasonable, scientific
way, which is to employ agents that
have been found to have the tonic and
alternative power to correct faulty
metabolism Tissue change and to
stimulate and help nature overcome
the cause Or causes of catarrh. This
being done, appetite increases, nutri-
tion improves, weight is gained, COM
fort of body is attained and life's work
taken up with the zest natural to the
perfectly healthy individual.
We want you to try ReXall Mucu-
Tone. Follow directions and take it
regularly and consistently for a rea-
sonable length Of time. Then, If you
are not satisfied. come back and tell
us and the money you paid for the
treatment will be returned without
any argument whatever.
