PROTECTING CROSSINGS.
Duty is on County Officials, Not Rail-
road Commission-NeW
Act.
The Record

The Record
There is complaint from time 10
time to the railroad commission re-
sarding the condition OF railroad
.sgrade crossings, and it is though 10
be not unlikely that some OF tie
frightful accidents which have &C
=. CURED at these crossings would have
been avoided had the law been strict
.1y enforced regarding them AND
yet the duty of seeing that they are
kept in proper and safe condition Is
=. on the bounty commissioners, AMI
: there is no need to appeal to the rail-
road commission and thereby waste
valuable time,
Z An act passed by the last leg1sIa-
4nre makes the law still stronger anc
puts it within the power OF any roao
oyerseer to promptly compel any
proper complaint to be promptly re
medied.
The matter is constantly growing
more important with the RAPID
growth of the use of the automobile.
THE new law is uovted in full so as
to put travellers of dirt roads IN pos
session of all the information neces-
.sary to protect themselves:
AIt shall be the further duty OF
.snch ocerseer to cause each railroad
xoomnany to construct and keep IN
good repair the roadbed Of all pub

MITH'S RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Demands That Attorney General In
vestigate Sellers of Spot Cot
ton That Does not Exist.

Washington, A1ril 29.-"The in
Testigation into the sales Of cotton
which Attorney General Wickersham
is conducting, has cost the American
people nearly s40,00O,Oo0"
So asserted Senator Smith, Of
South Carolina, in the senate today.
He was making speech in the
hope of persuading the senate to
adopt the resolution, directing the
Attorney General to ascertain the
names Of the persons who sold the
cotton to the New York pool.
Mr.. Smith said that, whereas only
$40,Oo0,000 worth of manufactured
goods had been exported last year,
$60,000,O00 worth of raw cotton had
been sent abroad. This year the cot
ION expectation, he said, will be about
$8O0,0O0,Oe0.
"Investigate the Sellers"
1.-THE Attorney General is investi-
eating the sales of spot cotton. I
want him to Investigate the sellers
to find out who were engaged in
trying to put down the price. I want
him to inquire as to the gentlemen
who got together and sold the cotton
without having it to sell. His inves-
-tigation, so far as it has gone, has
depressed the price to the extent OF
a cent a pound, a total cost to the
people at large of forty million dol
lars. Let him extend the inquiry so
AS to show the real facts"
Speaking sarcastically, Mr.. Smith
said:
eff the Attorney General must con-
duct an investigation, let him inves-
tigate the chief of the weather bu-
reau for bringing on the recent
frost, and if that is not conclusive,
let him go higher and Investigate Je-
hovah himself for running the cotton
crop of the present season.
He went on:
II believe, and the South believes,
that this interference at this time is
for the specific purpose Of relieving
certain bears on the cotton market. .
-; The Resolution Adopted.
:. He declared Vaccinations, on tn"
stock exchange were in the interest
of foreign \buyers. He said on ac-
count of the scarcity Of seed it would
be impossible to plant more than 65
per cent of the average cotton crop
for the present year.
The resolution was adopted. 1t dl-
rects the attorney general to inquire
as to the names of the party or
parties, or corporations, that sold the
cotton alleged to have been bought
~ a pool of purchasers, who are
now under investigation by the de-
partment of justice;' "also as to the
prices, whether or not they own9 /
the cotton at the time Of the sale
thereof, and the price of spot cotton
in the South on the date Of the COIL
tracts"

Saves an Iowa Mans Life.

The very grave seemed to yaWn
before Robert Madsen, Of West Bur-
lington, Iowa, when, after seven
weeks in the hospital, four of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative
power of Electric Bitters. For, after
eight months of frightful suffering
from liver trouble and yellow jaun-
dice, getting no help from other rem
edies or doctors, five bottles of this
matchless medicine completely cured
him. It's positively guaranteed for
