their daily drinks.
1t all seems to be pure philanthropy
on the part of the working classes in
order to save the saloOnkeepers from
paying increased license fees. Incident
ally. the movement is one of general
discomfort and a protest against the
governments: Tonight it is reported
that such important cities as Amiens,
Boulogne and Douai have joined the
movement and an unusual sobriety
reigns over northern France.
Meanwhile the internal revenue de-
partment is entering suit against the
recaIcitrant saloonkeepers who refuse
to sell alcohol The question whether
the men of northern France have the
right to stay sober or not will have to
be fought out in the courts.
The strike is spreading to the women
and the temperance organizations of
Paris and Lyons are sending funds to
back up the strikers.

PARIS, Feb. 9.-The two chief main
stays of the French government are
the taxes on alcohol and tobacco. IN
spired by reports of the success OF the
meat boycott in the United States, the
Northern departments of France nave
boycotted alcohol, and a drink strike
has spread through all northern
France.
Now, a general strike. including all
trades. is ordered for Monday The
cause of this popular uprising is the
heavier license tax which the govern
ment is attempting to enforce. The
keepers of cafes, taverns. barrooms,
public houses, have protested and
asked the proleteriat customers to
back them up in their fight The peo-
pie went with the saloonkeepers, eX-
cept in a few isolated drink shops

ture. Gin is the favorite drink in that
edge of Flanders and the workinglnen

Cured, vice president of the bridge
company.
The only other witness today was
William A Smyth, editor of the Owego
Times Owego was the home of former
United States Senator Thomas c.
Plat Smyth testified that in 1901
the Owego Bridge company was
threatening to move its plant if GER
tain legislation became law. The wit
ness appealed to Senator Plat and re-
ceived the following reply:
According to Aids statement the
bill that passed is not Objectionable to
the bridge people, provided the other
bills held There is no doubt the
other bill will remain in the commit
tee"
There is an impression here tonight
that the introduction of Platt into the
controversy is welcomed by the de-
Tense and that it opens a way for Sen
ator Aids to plead that he only fol-
lowed the instructions of the former
republican leader of the state.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--"More power to
the interstate commerce commission, i"
was urged by United States Senator
Cummins of Iowa in an address be-
fore the Traffic club tonight.
Il will not try to convince the cor
porations that they are sound and well,
because they are already on the OPP
Grating table," declared the senator in
opening his remarks. THE surgeons
knife is cleaning all around them. /
shall not try to convince them that,
after it is all over, they will be strong
err. because undue strength is the dis
ease from which they suffer. ut /
will try to convince them that after
it is over, they will be better, longer
lived and safer.
THE truth is, the hair trimming act
was never more required than now.
[ don't suggest that ali corporations
wear long locks, becase / know web
that many do not need the attention of
a larber, and they are SO shorn by
the giants of the class to which they
belong that they could be admitted to
any penitentiary in the land without
any other tonsorial attention.
Hair Needs Cutting.
But l refer to the stalWartS in and
among the corporations who are so
great that. while they are unwilling
to shear themselves, there is not any
body big enough to shear them. Uncle
Sam has been scisosring away for a
great many years. 1t is quite possible
that he has gotten a little close in
places, but [ believe that after all, the
corporations wear longer hair than
they ever did before. The question is
now how to cut it smooth and reg
ularly.
There are some gray heads here
who remember the days of 1S93-15,
who saw the first experiments in rail-
way regulation in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Missouri. Out of that
have grown the laws that now attempt
to control the business in which you
are interested as transporters or as
shippers

commerce law of 1887 was as use

CASE TOGO TO
JURY FRIDAY

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. S.-AS ar
ranged by agreement between Judge
Charles E. Wolverton of the United
States district court and counsel to-
day the case of conspiracy to defraud
the government of public lands will
go to the jury Friday. Arguments will
begin tomorrow and each side has
agreed to limit itself to a day and a
half
After the introduction of testimony
in the case had been completed the
rest of the day was spent by Colonel
Worthington of counsel for Hermann
in an effort to have the case nom
suited on points of law.
Colonel Worthington battled for
three solid hours in support of his con-
tentions. These We're: First. If there
had been a conspiracy to defraud it
was the state of Oregon that had been
defrauded and not the government of
the United States. Second, that the
prosecution of Hermann was barred
bv the statute of limitation; third, if
prosecution were not barred then the
court should strike out all evidence
as to overt acts that occurred prior
to three years before the indictment
against Hermann was returned.

to enact it.

Taking it now for granted that we
have established for all time, that our
government when the emergency
arises, has the right to prescribe the
compensation which shall be charged
by comon carriers, ought we not to
join together to see how best that
power can be exercised? If there are
some railroads that are earning more
money than they ought to, there are
ought to. The public is beginning to
understand that the railroad is entitled
to adequate revenue Why then is
there any conflict between the rail-
roads and the people generally?
The complaint now is as to discrim-
nation between localities.
st Louis wants rates that will en-
abel her, if possible, to have some ad-
vantage over Chicago. ST. Paul and
Minneapolis complain that some other
towns are robbing them of their just
rights Des Moines, Sioux City, Kan
sas City, Denver and other places are
in the struggle for business. Almost
all of the complaints to the commits
sion pertain to alleged discrimination.
Railroads Over Capitalized.
Il have said that I believe The pny
sicai value of the railroads Of the
country exceeds largely the capitali
Zation. but l believe also that the in
dependent capital invested in the roads
is $6OOO,0D0 less than the capitaliza
ton, and somewehre, somehow, some
body must determine what basis must
be adopted.
I'm the future l hope the govern
ment will take such measures that
you will not be called upon to per-
form the impossible task of returning
a reward upon money that exists only
in the conception of the gambler who
promotes his fortune in the purlieus
