And business men in general are
preparing for improvements and ex.

nave recently been made by several
railroads for raising $9OOOO,OOO to
be used in extensions. The Erie rail.
road plans to expend $4,000, 900 in
the next ten years for completing the
double-tracking of its main line be-
tween New York and Chicago. The
Atchison is raising $4,000, 900 for
new work and equipment, and other
companies are preparing to put small
e" amounts into improvements. &,
This after a Democratic house has
been at work a year, and on the eve
of a Democratic presidential victory,
does not look as if business interests

of a Democratic president. As a
T:atter of fact, the business men Of
the country know that a Democratic
administration would not harm any le

Democratic house have proven them

The gross earnings of the railroads
for the first week of February we're
9.S1 per cent better than a year ago.
For the fourth week of january the
reports from forty-fOur roads indicate

which includes the Seventh district.
We believe that the thing to do is to
nominate the strongest man for every
office, as the paramount ISSUE should
be, not mem, but measures.
On the other hand, we have Cover
nor Wilson, OF New Jersey. 1t is said
that he is comparatively new in poll
tics. True, but he is not new in un-
Outstanding the science of govern
ment. which is shown by the remark
able record he has made Yin a few
months as governor Of New Jersey.
He has advocated and executed pro
gressive measures, and is one Of the
leaders in the movement which is
sweeping the country, for reforms in
governmental affairs. Always a
close student in political conditions,
he has at this time a grasp of what
is needed equal to that of any man,
no matter how long they may have
been in public life. His record as
governor Of Virginia is par excellent.
1t is said by some Of his opponents
that he did not support Bryan in SO.
Be that as it may, it is now ancient
history. Many Democrats, high and
low, have since been taken up by
the party and elevated to response
Die positions who did not support Mr..
Bryan in that campaign. And again,
you do not find Mr.. Bryan fighting
Mr.. Wilson ON that account, but ON
the contrary he seems to be leaning
WilSonward in the campaign. No mar
mentioned for the Democratic nomina-
ton measures up to the Bryan STAN
dard as does Mr.. Wilson. In his
speech before the Kansas Democrats
last week, which will be found in this
issue, he indicated clearly that he
speaks the Kansas language. Kan-
sas is progressive. The man that the
Democrats Of Kansas want is the
strongest progressive they can get.
For two reasons, first, it is the way
Kansas Democrats feel, second, it is
the political thing to do. Wilson fills
that bill. With Wilson as the Demo
cratic standard bearer, the Kansas
Democrats can go to the front of
the fight, confident they have a man
who represents their political ideals,
and that he can give battle to the
enemy that will result in a victory
for the Democratic party in the ma
ton and in the state. Let every Kan
sas Democrat answer this question
for himself, after carefully consider
irg it from all sides. Our personal
choice would be our good neighbor,
Speaker Clark, but believing that
Woodrow Wilson, in every respect
that Clark can, fills the bill, and then
some, we are for Wilson.

Result: Bricklayers in free-trade
England receive 1912 per week OF

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE MOTHER
Scas0nablc Advice on the
Health of Children In
Hot Weather.

Mothers should be careful not TO
oyerfeed children during the hot
months. No one requires as much food
IN summer as they do In cold weather.
Serve only the lighter and more easily
dlgested foods, and see that the milk
is kept cool and fruit ripe.
II is quite natural 10 expect some
disturbance, such as constipation, indi-
gestion, or summer diarrhOea, often
accompanied by cold. A mild laXa-
tive at bed time Will, In most cases
carry Off the congested waste from tho
stomach next morning and by clean
ing the bowels restore normal condi-
tons.
Cathartlc remedies and purgatives
should never be used for children.
They are harsh and violent in their
action and tend TO upset the entire
system. The combination Of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin, known as
Dr. Caldwelis Syrup Pepsin, and sold
by druggists for fifty cents a bottle.
Is now very generally used to correct
stomach and bowel trouble. II Is mild
and pleasant to the taste and contains
no drastic drug, or naIcotic, but acts
naturally and easily, yet most effeo-
lively a larger bottle, containing
more than twice the quantity, is sold
for one dollar II you have never
used Syrup Pepsin and would like a
free trial bottle, postpaid write to DR..

A MOVING Picture
FILM EXPLODED
SMALL PANIC AND 81 900 DAMAGE
FOLLOWED SUNDAY FIRE IN
WONDERLAND THEA1ER.

The explosion of a moving picture
film In the operating room of the
Wonderland theater Sunday evening,
while the house was full Of people,
destroyed eight reels OF film and din
other damage, to the total amount Of
81 Loco. The film was being run
through a machine by motor, when
II exploded. The operator grabbed
the burning film and threw 1t to the
floor, igniting other films. The house
was soon filled with smoke. A Few
people in the audience left through
the front entrances, near where the
operating room is located, but the ma
iorlty Of them escaped by the way Of
the stage in the rear. As far as
could be learned no one was injured.
The crowd was nicely handled by the
house employees, and the police regu-
lations were being strictly obeyed at
the time the fire broke out.
The fire department was called and
the blaze was extingulshed before any
material damage was done.
There would probably have been
no fire at all" said Fire Chief Alder
afterward, had not the film been run
by motor The operator was rewind-
ing n film at the other side Of the
room at the time instead of being at
the projecting machine. ! have tried
for a long time to secure the passage
of an ordinance requiring all picture
shows to run their films by hand, and
TIL this Is done Tulsa will be In danger
Of having disastrous theater fire and
panic"

TO ELIMINATE CITY
chicken RAISING
If NEW ORDINANCE is ADOPTED
PENS MUST BE FIFTY FEET
FROM HOUSES.

A city ordinance prohibiting the
keeping Of chickens anywhere In the
city at n point closer than so feet
from "A residence and which. If adopt
ed, would practically mean the abol-
ishment Of all chicken pens in the city,
Is being considered by City Attorney
Ramsey.
The city attorney held a conference
with Mayor Wooden on the matter yes
terday but arrived at no definite con
clusion.
III the pens are not placed 80 feet
away from houses" said Mr.. Ramsey,
the ordinance would be of no good
and If they are placed at that distance
It would mean that nearly everyone
in the city who keeps chickens on their
premises would have to get rid Of their
fowls"
The health department Of the city
Is strenuously asking for the passage
OF such an ordinance and the city at
torney Will probably make definite
report on the matter to the city com
mission this morning, at which time
that body will probably take some
action.

boulevard SYSTEM
planned FOR Tulsa
CITY TO TAX ALL VEHICLES TO
RAISE MONEY TO PAY
FOK HIGHWAY.

Tho taxing of all vehicles that pass
over the city streets, for the purpose
OF deriving rund to be used for the
building Of the proposed extensive
boulevard around the city is heing
considered by the city commissioners.
Suggestions from persons affected,
one way or the other 10y such an ord
nance, and anyone Interested in the
proposition win be heard by the city
officials, Tuesday, July 80, which has
been set apart for that purpose.
"Automobiles are required to pay an
annual license now said Mayor
Wooden yesterday "and they do less
damage TO the city streets than the
huggies and other horse drawn Nehi-
cles. In fact the automobiles serve
10 iron out the paving. Many peo-
pie who own property here are paying
for paving that is used 10y people with
wagons, who do not pay paving tax at
all. why should not this latter class
pay its proportionate share? Every
cent derived from such a tax would
be put into the boulevard fund, that
would eventually be large enough to
be used In constructing a beautiful
boulevard around the city that would
be Of lasting benefit TO everyone here
and magnificent monument to the
city at large.
The proposed tex would amount to
tb per year on privately owned, or
pleasure automobiles and SIS per an
mum of livery autos Cabs would have
to pay $40 a year and all horse drawn
vehicles would be taxed at tho rate
OF s1,95 "A year for each horse. Motor
cycles would be taxed $3.50 year.
and bicycles would probably be re-
Quired to pay yearly license OF about
a dollar.
