President Taft; but most of them
pointed out that, in their opinion, the
price paid for clearing the atmos-
phere Will be the continuance of the
present condition of increased costs
curing the months that must elapse
pefore the interstate commerce COM
mission has reviewed the situation and
decided whether the rate increases are
justified
The bill allows the commission ten
months in which to act, but it is the
general belief here that because of
the familiarity of the commissioners
with the situation, it will be only a
tied.
Frederick D. Underwood, president
of the Erie. said that the eastern rail-
roads regarded the agreement as a
good way to get out of the difficulty.
I know personally" he said, that
the members of the interstate COM
merce commission are in favor of a
substantial advance in rates. The
railroads have nothing to fear. I do
not believe that the administration
was ever opposed to an advance in
rates. except by the methods employ
ed. 1t is proposed to make a law dur
ing the present session of congress to
give the interstate commerce commits
sion power to arbitrate the question of
freight rates While some are of the
opinion that this would defer the ad-
vance of rates for year, there is no
reason why the commission could not
decide the question equitably in three
or four months.
1.-The members are acquainted with
the situation, and are not novices on
the subject of railroad rates. They
have given consideration to the mat
ter and are aware that an advance in
rates is proper"

AFTER THE PREACHERS.
Rev. Barton of Brooklyn Bitterly At
tacks the Ministry.

st. Louis, June 7.-"Hell and its
torments were created by the trans
iators of the Bible into English. There
is no warrant in the scriptures for
the belief in fate of endless tortures
for the wicked; and the great cruel
body of fire and birthstone, preached
today from thousands of pulpits, has
not done one particle of good, pre-
ventive or otherwise, and has wrought
much harm, especially in the form of
causing inffdelity and insanity
Those were the statements made
yesterday afternoon before a large
audience by Rev. R. H. Barton of
Brooklyn during his address, which
was called who Created Help
The speaker bitterly attacked those
members of the ministry who preach
the traditional theory of fiery here
after to be dealt out to the wicked for
their acts here on earth.
How can they pretend to love God
and yet depict him as such a mon
ster?" asked the speaker. I'VE would
not be so cruel as they declare he is,
and yet certainly we must be far in
ferior to the God who created US. In
my opinion, such doctrine is bias
phemous and wicked. Nobody, even
if he lived to be a thousand years old
and sinned every day during his life,
could deserve such punishment as
being consigned to eternal torment -

Salerno, 80 miles southeast of Naples.
is to the effect that the shock caused
considerable damage.
The shock was felt for 10 seconds in
the province of Avellino. 1t also was
felt strongly but for a shorter period
at CozenZa, Paola, Catanzaro, Reggie,
Potenza, Benevento, Capua and Melf.
1t is said, however, that the damage in
these towns was not serious and that
there was no loss of life.
The province of Avenillo occupies the
central part of the compartment of
Campania and is directly east of
Naples. Calitri, which, according to
latest reports received this forenoon,
suffered the most, is town of about
5000 inhabitants. 1t is situated on the
Ofanto river, seven miles northeast Of
Coma.
The shock was also felt in the de-
partments of Basilicata. Calabria and
Sicily and the provinces of Benevento.
Campobasso, Caserta and Naples. A
panic was created at Tore Annunziata
and Tore Del Greco, where the popu-
lations live in constant fear of an erup-
ton from Mount Vesuvius.
Reports from Bazilicata say that the
shock was felt severely at Potenza.
Similar reports come from Paola and
Catanzaro in the compartment of Ca
labria and from Palermo on the north
ern coast of Sicily.

GOv.STUBBS' STATEMENT
Urges People to Use Care in Selecting
Legislative Candidates.

Governor Stubs has issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the nomi-
nation of legislative candidates IN
which he urges the Importance of Sc
lecting the best men for the places
and getting them to take a stand on
state issues:
During my visits with the people in
all quarters of the state 1 have become
impressed by the necessity of securing
candidates for the legislature who are
not only in favor of. and willing to fight
for, the maintenance and protection Of
the good and useful progressive legisla-
ton now in the statute book but who
are in favor and willing to fight for
such other progressive and useful COM
mon sense legislation as the people are
demanding.
I'm many legislative districts, I am
told the best and wisest men of both
political parties are unwilling to make
a personal or a business sacrifice TO
run for this office. You must put 1t 20
them as a patriotic duty to their state,
fellow citizens.
1.-The reactionary force, in both par
ties, led by the agents, attorneys and
friends of special interests, corporate
forts with view, while the people are
off their guard, to turn the hand of
progress backward in the direction of
the old systems and methods under
which they fattened. The progression
lists of both parties should, under their
separate organizations. counterfeit this
by putting forward their best and most
reliable men to fill the legislative Of
fees.
This is important. Little more than
two weeks is left them to nominate
their candidates June 22d is the last
day for filing. Special attention and
special activity are required. Do not
depend on leadership. Let every man
take leadership in the work of getting
good candidates

sees the great necessity for keeping uI
the work Of legislative reform already

far advanced in this state I feel it my
duty to make this non-partisan appeal
to the voters of Kansas
In the same spirit desire to urge
the selection of precinct committee
men OF high character and progressive
ideas. They are to select the county
chairman who will have voice in the
Shaping of party policies The people
ought to have respect for and conf
are the pledges of the political parties
to their members and they ought to
be as sacred as any other contract
promise or treaty. The selection of
good precinct committeeman is, there
fore, of great Importance.
