Charges Of Congressman Martin
Which Will Bring About a Con.
gressional Investigation.
By ROBERTUs LOVE.

~ KITTEN years ago a locomotive
- fireman in Missouri, now a first
~ tern member Of congress from
Colorado, John A. Martin Of
Pueblo seems to be getting up steam
for a record run of land graft charges
which he declares will involve the
sugar trust, the attorney general of
the United States and the bureau of
1nsular affairs, that branch of the war
department which has to do with the
administration Of the Philippine Is
lands. The Martin engine Of accusa-
ton takes a straight air line shoot
across the Pacific ocean, with the
friar lands of the archipelago as stop
ping point.
Congressman Martin charges in eff.
feet that the San Jose friar estate OF
about $4,000 acres was sold to ar
agent of the sugar trust as the result
of an opinion from Attorney General
George W. Wickersham, whose Law
firm represented the trust at the time
he entered the Taft cabinet Mr.. Mar
din. under his own signature, is prod

ceeds to the payment Of the bonds. Il
the Philippine government limited to
the sale Of forty acres to any one per-
son? That is the disputed question.
The attorney general Of the Philip
pines. the attorney general Of the
United States and other good lawyers
hold that the limitation applies only to
the lands acquired by the United States
from Spain and not to the friar lands,
which were purchased by the Philip
pines with their own money. Mr.. Mar
tin takes a different view. So does

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.

Princeton People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney Disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unimstakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger of dropsy, Bright's disease or
diabetes. Any one of these symptoms
is warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal. You can use no better
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Princeton proof: William j..
Appleagte, Princeton, Mimi, says:
"While serving in the army, con-
tracted a severe case of kidney
trouble. My..back was very weak and
panied me almost constantly. The
kidney secretions were too frequent in
passage and on this account | was
obliged to arise many times during
the night. The secretions were also
highly colored and at times contained
, sediment. Doan's Kidney Pill!

4 Sugar Trust Head Denies.
! As an Offset to the Martin allega-
lions, President washington B. Thorn
as of the American Sugar Refining
company has given out the following
statement from the Offices of that con-
Germ in New York:
I'm reference to the statement OF
Congressman Martin, published in one
of the morning papers, in regard to
the alleged interest of the American
Sugar Refining company in the Philip
pines, Congressman Martin must have
been misinformed. The American

and never has had any interest, direct
ay or Indirectly, in any lands In the
philippines, nor has it at any time
sought to acquire such interest. On
of the directors Of the company d1t
purchase land on his own account
without the knowledge Of or consult
dng with the other directors, as h.
considered the matter purely pei
isonal.
'The company does not contemplat
any investments whatever in tn
philippines
The crux of the Martin crusade lie
i'm the fact that the organic law {
the Philippine archipelago, enacted b
congress in 1902, provides that indivi'
uals shall be limited to the acquir
ment of forty acres and corporation
Tor associations to $500 acres Of tt
|public domain Of the islands. Whe
last January, Mr.. Martin read in
newspaper that the entire San 10
friar estate had been sold to repr
sentative Of the Havemeyer sugar
terests and that the attorney gener

with his union he decided to get into
a line of work not subject to strikes
and lockouts. He studied law without
attending law school.
Now the Nemesis Of the sugar trust
has returned to Colorado to make
hard fight for reelection, but he de-
clares that, whether he stays in con-
gress or not, he will continue his cru
SADIE for the protection of the Filipino
lands from exploitation. Originally, it
is said, he was an expansionist, but
since having made a study OF the
problem he has become restricttonist.
But his present fight appears to be
upon his construction of the organic
law relating to the islands, the con-
gresham believing that the corporate
| interests have sought loophole and
! apparently have found it In the attor-
ney generals opinion that the organic
| law as to land requirement limitations
does not extend to the friar lands. MI.
Martins contention is that the law
covers all public lands in the archipel-
ago.
Chairman Olmsted Cautious.
| The chairman Of the committee on
insular affairs of the house Of repre-
sentatives, Congressman Martin E
Olmsted, says regarding Congressman
Martins statements as to the DISPOSE
ton Of the friar lands:
ut would be manifestly improper fol
me to comment on Mr.. Martins inter
view. He will have ample opportunlt!

whether or not portion Of the Dutch
Fork shall be annexed to Richland
county, tais question is being discuss
ed on every hand. While in the Fork
last week we had the opportunity of
@ 4ring the matter discussed by the
advocates of the scneme as we'll as Dy
those who are opposed to leaving the
old county. From what we were able
to gather it is doubted if the PROPOSE
ton carries. The people of the pro-
posed area are TALKING and thinking
over the situation calmly and dispas-
slonately.
The advocates of the move assert
that better roads and logger school
terms, together with greater conyen-
fences, warrant them in going to Rich
land. The first proposition falls hat,
because there is no county in the
State that has made greater progress in
building of roads during the last coup
le years than Lexington. Take the
roads on this side Of the river, and
wherever the cnaingang has worked
no better roads are to be found any
where. The chaingang is now doing
excellent work in the Fork, and ere
long the majority of the public high
WAYS in that section will have been
put in fine condition. That we have
not had better roads sooner is deplor-
able; but the reason ali along has
been that our people, especially those
in the Fork, were already burdened
with heavy taxes. The people of the
Fork are Just now reaching the point
where they can stand extra levies for
good roads. Heretofore they have
been held down on account of the
railr Dad bonds, which has proven a
great barrier to them. ParJ OF the
district now proposed to be cot OH IS
exempt from further taxation along
this line. The other portions of the
county-on this side Of the riveG-the
people did not feel disposed to make
the burden heavier by adding extra
taxes for road purposes, because they
realized that their neighbo~s across
| the river were already overburdened.
| And this is the reason, and the only
reason, why we have not had better
| roads.
| Now, we have our doubts about the
longer school terms. The average
school term in Lexington will com.
pare most tavorably with the school
Germs of other counties. This much
is certain, however, if we haven't got
them it is the peoples fault. We car
have just as good schools in Lexing
ton as you can have in Richland.
! It remains to be seen, OF course
how many are in favor of leaving thf
old county for the convenience that
will be gained by going to Richland.
We appeal to our people for sobe1
and sane view of the situation before
voting for the change. We feel Ger
tain that every convenience, every
facility and every need, that can b.
supplied by Richland will be freel.
given by Lexington, and when th'
time comes we feel assured that on
people across the river will snow the
proposition under by their votes a
the ballot box.
| We shall have more to say amen
this proposition next week.

Under the auspices of the Young

most intere sting and instructive ad-

sneaker said that he was glad to see
that Columbia had been liberal enough

vide a cure for these unfortunates.
DIR. Cromer, however, failed to men-
tion the fact that Columbia furnishes
the liquor for these inebriates to get
drink on, in that she permits the op-

obtained at all times. When Coium-

Judging from the verdict of the
Chester county jury in the famous
graft cases and other trials Of recent
note in this State, it seems that the
attorneys for the defence would real
ize that it is always unwise and un-
safe to place case in the hands Of a
petit jury without submitting aSy evi-
aence. Whenever it is done the nat
ural conclusion is drawn that the de-
fendant is guilty or he woRld make
some effort to refute the charges rest
ing against him.
