BUSY WEEK AHEAD FOR
THE SUPREME COURT
Practically All OF the Questions 10
Bc Argued this Week are Con-
necscd with Railroad
Traffic.
As.nclntcd Press special.

Associated Press Special
washington. Jan, s.--"Interstatc
lpommerce week" VIII be observed
in the supreme coart OF the United
states beginning today. Practically
an nj the questions TO be argued
this week are connected with rail-
road or steamship traffic.
The first case to be considered
involves whether shippers may be
indicted for accepting rebates un-
less IL is shown that the railroad
Inoncerned had posted the regular
rates at the railroad station at
point of origin. II was held BY
Judge Speer, Of Georgia, that the
posting of the regular rates In the
community in which the shipper
lived was such an important means
OF information that the shipper
could not be indicted unless 1t was
alleged the rates had been posted.
This ruling occurred In the indict-
ments of Harvey C. Miller and Nor
ris f. Miller, of Philadelphia, on
charges OF accepting concessions
for shipments over the Merchants
& Miners Transportation Co., joint
~ with the Seaboard Air Line and
with the Atlantic Coast Line.
Another case is the quarter CEN
fury fight of Cincinnati shippers for
lower rates to Chattanooga and the
south In 1894 shippers induced the
interstate commerce commission to
order a sharp reduction of rates
over the Cincinnati, New Orleans
and Texas Pacific road from Gin
einnati to Chattanooga. Courts held
that the commission could not fix
future rate. Later when this power
was conferred nnan It the commits
sion reduced first class rates to TO
cents, and held that while demand
for cent rate might be reasonable
on a road direct to Chattanooga 1T
would not be so on the Louisville
and Nashville and connecting lines.
Further more, the commission held
that to reduce the rate to so cents
might make inequitable certain
rates from Memphis to Chattanooga
and to Atlanta, Birmingham, Mont
gomery and other southern cities.
The Cincinnati shippers made an
unsuccessful attempt in the COM
merce court to have the seventy
cent rate declared unjust and un-
reasonable.

: such immigrants as are denied en-
trance there was nothing in the Law
j to prevent the companies from cir
cumventing the law by requiring
these immigrants to put up security
in foreign ports to cover the cost of

Another question will be whether

railroads. Still other cases involving
conflicts of jurisdiction between
the insterstate commerce commits
sion and the commerce court will be
heard

OF his platform be said:
Naturally the people viii want
to know something about me and
what stand tor. before they will be
willing to give me their support, SO
| I submit the following for their In
formation.
II have lived In Ellis county all
my life on farm near italy. Tnree
years ago, after finishing the high

during summer vacations.

ure to obey the sovereign will OF my
constituents at home, when they
express themselves ON any meas

tructions shall act in accordance
With what conceive to be the cor
rect progressive democratic view OF
the question at issue. On the pro-
hibition question tho people OF Eli

phatically, and | am in entire ac-
cord with the majority on this most
vital issue. / have always been for

me anything, it Is the crying neces-
sity of reform In our court proceed
ure both criminal and civil. The
criminal has had his turn long
enough, on flismy techpicalities.
and II is now time for the people to
have theirs. Our whole government
tai maellienry should be brought
closer to the people and made more
responsible to their sovereign will.
To deny this is to say the people
are not CAPABLE of knowing what
they want
stOur public school system is one
that is near and dear to the hearts
of the people, and I am in favor of
continued liberal support for it. Our
higher institutions should be taken
beyond the realm of partisan poll
tics, and placed ON basis where
they will yield the greatest posi-
Bile returns to the people. Good
roads are absolutely essential to tho
comfort and convenience of the peo-
pie, and I favor those measures
which will bring all classes of peo-
pie closer together, both socially
and commercially, and make condi-
lions of living better, both in the
country and in town. Rigid econo-

CHARGES
OF MISCONDUCT
The following communication was
received today by The Sentinel:

The Grand Junction Turnverein
declares the statement which is said
to have been made by Professor Dodds
in the church on March "a delib-
crate falsehood. The statement as
reported is that the Grand Junction
Turnyerein Is the worst place in this
city; that they desecrate the Sab
bath by their dances, and have drink
ing bouts, etc.
Either the statement Is made out
OF pure righteousness or the man is
entirely ignorant of what is going on.
Anybody who saw the exhibition in
the Majestic theater on the 29th will
bear us out that any society which
receives the children of members and
non-members daily in their building
and in so short a time can be trained
as they showed to be last night sure
ly is not society for the purpose of
dancing and drinking
There are Turner's who drink their
beer, some their whisky, just like a
good many of our good church peo-
pie do They have never made a
secret of 1t and do so by strictly ad-
herring to the law; but, regardless of
that, they stand for very high prin-
ciples; and, if some of the people in
Grand Junction will quit nagging all
the time, the Grand Junction Turn
vereins will show them in due time
what a turnverein really is.
Respectfully,
THE GRAND JUNCTION TURN
