Do Ghosts Haunt swampsp

No, never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real
and deadly perils to guard against
in swamps and marshes, bayous,
and lowlands. These are sthe
malaria, germs that cause ague,
chills and fever, weakness, aches in
the bones and muscles and may
induce deadly typhoid. But
Electric Bitters destroys and casts
out these vicious germs from the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The national legislative body now. in
Congress is proving to be an unruly team.
The Republican majority in the Senate
cannot elect president pro tenn. The
insurgent Senators have the balance Of
power and led by Senators LaFollette
and Cummins were able to defeat Sepa.
tor Gallingor of New Hampshire, the
caucus nominee. The Democratic house
is we'll organized and aggressive, and
with its powerful majority acting as
unit, is passing much important legisla
ton. It has passed the Canadian reci-
|procity bill and the farmers free lists BILL
and these measures are now before the
Senate. Delegations of farmers profess
ing to be representative are besieging the
Senate and the President in an effort to
kill the Canadian reciprocity bill, but on
the other hand there are delegations from
the west and northwest, including agri-
cultural representatives., much more
numerous, urging the passage by the
Senate of the reciprocity act. Chairman
Underwood is confident that much more
important tariff program than has yet
been presented to the lower House will
be passed BY this body, the majority OF
whom it appears are in favor of free wool.
The wiser heads of the Democratic
majority are in favor of materially reduc.
ing the tariff on wool, but are opposed to
so drastic measure as admitted it duty
free. The wool schedule is an important
source ofrevenue to the government and
to materially reduce the tariff will in
crease revenue and will at the same time
enable the millions Of wearers of wool
garments in the United States to dress
more elegantly and more comfortably,
The bill is of course Objectionable to the
Wyoming Senator, whom the late Senator
Dolliver said was the greatest, shepherd
since Abraham, and few herdsmen in
the sparse settlements in the northwest.
It will also interfere with the Massachu-
sets factory monopoly, bu. it will result
in great benefit to ninety-nine one hun.
dredths Of the population of the United
States.

liouS ever maze by tue Interstate Com
merce Commission is that of the express
companies ofthe United States. This 10
vestigation is now under way. The COM
mission has before ii much material
which it is at present studying and
arranging. 1t is thought that the out
come will be complete change in the
express business Of the country. Quite
recently there was held in Washington a
convention relative TO the much talked
about and written about parcels post
This was attended by distinguished men
from various parts of the couuiry. Some
of them have made thorough study Of
the express situation 1t is somewhat re-
markable tina, the resolution was passed
by the convention favoring the complete
absorption or control of the express COM
panies by the Government. Assuming
that half the things complained against
the express companies are sustained. il;
will not be strange if the demand for
government ownership will be urgent

sion's report has been published. In the
states of Iowa. Minnesota and California
railway commissioners have recently
made Investigations into the operations
of these companies. Business interests
throughout the country are urging an
examination relative TO the express com.
panies insisting that their rates are exor-
bitant and that their practices are unfair.
Last Fall, two hundred and eight com
mercial organizations peti,ioned the

way. This commission, let it be under.
stood, has full authority over express
rates. regulations and practices. 1t is
claimed by those who have thoroughly
studied the subject that there is no
reason whatever for The existence of ex.
press companies independent of railroads,
and il is well known fact that the rail-
road companies themselves are extensive
stock owners, if they do not actually CON
troll the majority of stock of the express
companies, and that they are using these
companies to enormously increase their
profits with the result Of enormously op-
pressing the millions who have to resort
to them as common carriers. The profits
in the case of some of the companies it is
known are as high as 400 per cent. to 900
per cent. There is no reason why the
United States should not carry express
packages under the parcels post system
for The benefit OF all the people Of the
country.
