TRIED TO WRECK TWO TRAINS? ?
Bridges Were Burned in Arkansas
 and Oklahoma.

Ft. Smith, April 1.-The Hot Springs special of the Iron Noun tain road barely escaped being wrecked thls morning near Mulber- ry, where a trestle had burned in two last night. A farmer discovered one section had been destroyed and stopped the train as it was ap- preaching at high speed. The train stopped within a few feet of the trestle.
 A similar wreck was averted on the Midland Valley railroad at a trestle crossing Poteau river on the Oklahoma side near this city last night. The crew of a passenger train rounding a curve discovered a trestle afire a moment or two before the train reached the struc- ture.

 There is a growing feeling that many of our great financierS are making the restrictions of the law their touchstOne of guidance. in stead of adhering more closely to the Golden Rule.

 There are many evils that cannot be reached by statute and men are saying-and strong men, too-that if business men do not consult their consciences instead of their law yers. when they are thinking of driving a weaker competitor out of business. the people will take the matter into their own hands and go to extremes to remedy the situa- ton.

Washington. April i7.-"If the men of power and wealth consult their conscience in business they will not have to worry so much about the law, Vice President Mar shall emphatically asserted today.
 The vice president has been de- luged with a flood of criticisms from rich men and women follow ing his speech in New York last Saturday, when he warned million aires that if they are not careful they will find a proposition raised and carried out that all great for tunes shall eschest to the state.
 Mr. Marshall stuck to his guns today and declared that the idea was not original with him; that it had been indOrsed by the attorneys of the country generally, and that such a plan will eventually be adopted in this country.
 The People Are Disguised.
 When I said in New York that Carl Marx and hunger and a long ing for happiness were abroad ln the land asId NT. Marshall, T was expressing not alone my own opin- ion, but the opinion of others. From men of all classes I have heard eX- pressIons of disgust with present economic policies.
 Men are asking that the OppOr- tunity that once existed, now mo- nopoliZed, shall be restored to them. Men of judgment have expressed to me the opinion that were a vote to be taken on the proposition that all estales over Sl00000 revert to the state upon the death of the oWner-the S10O.OO0 being exempted it would be carried two to one.
 The present tariff monopoly is the chief cause of our unrest and men are asking with concern whether there is any difference be- tween the man who comes to the government to ask for help in his business and the poor man who goes to the Workhouse to get help.
