Des Moines, Sept. Ex-senator A. 3.
the middle west taking a hand in dead
earnest in the matter Of the inter
state commerce inquiry Into the basis
for rail rates He did not go to the
big conference called by Governor
Stubs, of Kansas, in Topeka this week.
but he responded to letter from the
popular Kansas governor, in which he
gave his views in very clear manner
as to the immense Importance of keep
ing watch on what is going on. In this
letter he said:
Il want to emphasize, if I can, the
immense Importance Of the hearing
now in progress before the interstate
commerce commission. or rather be-
fore an examiner appointed by the
commission 1t must be obvious to
anyone who has kept in touch with the
movement for the regulation Of railway
rates that we have reached critical
point in our efforts to protect the peo-
pie against unfair charges and prac
tice in transportation. The railroad
companies are intent upon a general
advance in rates, and they propose to
create new basis in order to justi-
fy the proposed increases.
"That they will attempt to prove
that the actual worth of the railway
property of the country exceeds the
aggregate of stocks and bonds here
tofore issued is as plain as the alpha
bet
"The railway managers hope to show
leo
of the railroad property they will be
entitled to return upon something
like five billions of dollars in excess
of the present capitalization. If they
can convince the commission of the
justice of their theory they will prob
ably be able to sustain their demand
for an increase in rates, and they will
certainly be able to defeat any APP
plication heretofore made for reduc-
ton in rates.
You know as we'll as do how i'm
possible it is under the existing law
to adjust rates, on account Of the dis
Grim nations between localities, and
how necessary 1t is to show in each in
stance that the rate against which
complaint is made is too high in and
of itself These considerations make
1t imperative, as 1t seems 10 me- tHal
there shall be concerted and active OPP
position in the hearing now going on.
1--WE are compelled to face the ques-
ton now or else place ourselves at a
very great disadvantage in any future
hearings"
But for the fact that Senator Cum
Minis is very much disinclined to do
any travelling about if it can be avoided,
ne probably would have gone to To-
peka because he is regarded in the
western states as an expert in rate
matters and his counsel would have
been Of immense value to the con-
ference.

CATARRH
A SPECIFIC BLOOD MpURITY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis.
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, ETC., are only
temporary, aud when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous mem
branes and tissues and produces the
we'll known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
aspecidc blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood. Nothing equals
ST. S. for this purpose. It attacks
the disease at its head-in the circu-
lation-and by thoroughly renovating

There is some secret power working
against the deep waterway movement,
said the governor. The project, he as
serted, was second only to the Pan
anna canal
He said Illinois should be connected
with the gulf of Mexico, the same as it
is now connected with the gulf of ST.
Lawrence, and this can be done only
by the 14-foot deep waterway. He
pointed out the benefits that are to &C
crue to the farmers and the business
men Of Illinois. The project is prac-
ticable and feasible. he said.
The governor appealed directly to
East st. Louis by saying that when
the waterway is completed this city
will be as large as it's rival across the
river. He also paid a glowing tribute
to Theodore Roosevelt for his work
for the Panama canal and the deep
waterway.

The governor condemned congress
for giving a private corporation at
Keokuk, Iowa, the right to build dam
at that point, to cost $12,000,000 nli-

done this and realized the vast amount
