FIVE BAUER CHILDREN
TAKEN FROM MOTHER

Judge Hubert decided, Thursday
afternoon. to place the five children
of Mrs. Joseph Bauer temporarily In
the care 0f Mrs John w. Fugate The
children We're recently left alone and
destitute by the mother when she
went to her home in Chicago, and a
few days later the father was found
dead In the home at No. 40 Beard-ave.
Mrs. Bauer defended her action by
saying that her husband drove her
away by his cruelty and that she
could not take the children as she
had no money.
Mrs, Bauer pleaded to be left in
charge OF her children. and wanted
them placed in the care OF Mrs. Ken
yon. neighbor, until she was able
to provide home for them. When
oudge Hubert made known his in
tention to take them from her for a
time al least she said:
Then | might as we'll sell out and
leave the city. | won't try to support
them If they are given to that wo.
man."
Mrs. Fugate gathered the FIVE chill
oren about her and left the building,
and the mother joined her friends
and went away without as much as
goodbye kiss for any of her babies.

known 10 have performed some OF
the most delicate operations known

University of Michigan and later
took medical course in the Belle
vue Hospital Medical college, New
York. In February, 1867, he began

TO REGULATE ISSUANCE
OF STOCKS AND BONDS

One of the first important
measures to receive attention by
congress was the Adamson bill
which seeks to regulate the issu-
ance of stocks and BOMBS by the
railroad companies of the eoun-
try. The Adamson bill provides
for a commission to establish the
physical value Of the railroads
and the Mann amendment which
empowers the interstate COM
merce commission to regulate the
issuance of stocks and bonds by
the roads passed the house Of
Representative es without a divis.
ion.
There is not a railroad in the
country that is not bonded manv
times over its true physical value
counting rolling stock tracks and
depot facilities. The stock is
watered far in excess of its true
value and the management figure
to make dividends upon this ex-
cess of stock just as the legiti-
mate business endeavors to make
a fair return on honest capital
really invested in a business
To bring the dividends up to the
demands of the stockholders
exorbitant freight rates are
squeezed from the public re-
CARELESS of all legal regulations
sought to be imposed by the
people.
That a more perfect and equi-
table basis of amounts may OBJ
tain upon which a profit is de-
manded by the roads the Adam
son bill seeks to acquire an exact
knowledge of the true physical
value of all the roads in the coun-
try, and the Mann amendment
places the issuance of stocks and
bonds against this valuation un-
der the supervision of the inter-
state railroad commission. With
a businesslike administration Of
this feature Of railroading there
should be no objectioA raised by
the roads themselves. The pub
lie has grown tired Of the ever
lasting conflict that exists be-
tween the simmer and the roads
and sonse plar . settle ta. RON

CHEAPER MONEY Foa FARMERS

CHEAPER MONEY Foa FARMERS
The country has awakened to
the necessity of furnishing
cheaper money to the farmer.
A casual investigation alone is
necessary to establish the fact
that the farming element IS bad
ly handicapped by the lack of
capital. The lack of capital is
also accompanied by the lack of
credit, which is essential in every
business to make it a success.
From every view point the farm
er is offered less encouragement
and aid in running his affairs
than any other class. The need
of bringing this important ele-
ment of our business structure
up to the plane of other business
where they can receive some
consideration at the hands of the
money power has attracted the
attention of our loading poll
tieians and business men, and
undoubtedly something is going
to be done to improve agri
cultural credit conditions. The
platforms of the three parties in
the last campaign recognized the
ne essity of doing something
along this line and declared for
a better system of rural credits.
The democratic platform declared
rural credits or agricultural
finance is of equal Importance
with the question of banking re-
form"
In a letter addressed by Presi-
dent Taft to .onfes of
governors recently assembled II
Richmond. Va, the President
.esaid: sThe interest rate paid
by the american farmer is con.
siderablv higher than that paid
by our industrial corporations,
railroads or municipalities. Yet,
| think, it will be admitted, that
the security offered by the farm
err in his farm lands is quite as
sound as that offered by indus
trial corporations"
At the conference in Virginia
the question was discussed, meet
ing with favor at the hands of a
number of the governors present.
Governor O'Neal, of Alabama,
especially endorsing the idea of
extending rural credits.
In Mississippi the Bank of
Grenada has caught the fever
and now adyertises to lend mon
ey at 4 per cent to anyone who
will buy a farm in Grenada
county and improve it. The
Bank of Grenada is one of the
states foremost and safest
banking Institutions and sees a
profit to itself in the increased
value of the farm lands of tie
comfy as we'll as the increase in
money from increased sale OF
agricultural products.
One of the best assets Of any
country is the small farmer; one
that applies intelligence and
works on the intensive system
1t is his money that swells the
banks deposits and increases
local business in ali lines. His
success means a material benefit
to every business in the COM
munity. He should be encouraged
By loans at a reasonable rate in
stead of made to pay the high
est rate charged to anybody.
