ging them Hence the frenzy or the
trust press at the time.
For Roger was then only politi-
clan. He wasn't a rich and respecta-
BILE business man, with a swell Office
and fat bank account. He was an
intruder. He was butting in on the
sacred preserves of some of our best
citizens who owned stock in the old
gas company.
And l suppose there was the usual
soicitude for the widows and or
phans" who owned stock. We always
hear that when a public service cor
poration's mOnOpOlistic cinch is in
danger.
Anyhow, taking this slant on the
Ogden Gas issue, and comparing the
situation of 1895 with that of 1914,
it appears that Roger was bad egg
in 1895 when he was on the outside,
but looks entirely different now that
he is on the inside.
Of course, the public ultimately
had to pay the cost of the war be-
tween the old gas company and the
new. It always turns out that way,
after the inevitable consolidation OF
competing public service corpora
tions.
All the same, with this light on the
motive of the newspapers in their at
tacks on Sullivan in 1895, don't take
much stock in the Ogden Gas cam
paign issue. And I notice the other
papers don't take much stock in it
either.
Sullivan could walk right up to the
Ogden Gas issue and smash it in the
nose, and the trust papers would have
to let him get away with it. He's on
the inside now and the gas company
has no reason to be hostile. In 1895
it was scared; and then, of course,
the papers got scared, too-for the
gas company.

wondering why the trust newspapers

to the Ogden Gas franchise as "Teek-

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles
Arrival and departure of trains a

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the cond1-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
Of serious illness makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913. in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony Of
those who have used the remedy.

quire attention, and wish a sample

DECLARES WAGE ACT ILLEGAL

Ramsey county district court, sitting
at st. Paul, handed down a decision
ordering temporary Injunction
against State Auditor Iverson and
members of the minimum wage CON-

The ruling also suspends the orders
Of the commission fixing a minimum
wage for women and minor workers.
Judge Catlin's order makes the
minimum wage law Ineffective until
the case has been tried on its merits.
His decision will be appealed to the
supreme court.
In granting the petition of E. w.
Williams, shoe manufacturer of Wi
mona, for temporary Injunction
Judge Catl1n ordered that Williams
be required to furnish $1,000 bond.
"The actual working of the law
would be apt to increase immortality
II morals are dependent upon wages"
Judge Catlin asserted in the ruling.
The law was held to be unconstitu-
tional because it delegated the legis-
lative powers to an appointive COM
mission and placed in that commits
sion discretion as to whether there
should be minimum wage.
Even the state cannot lawfully
become 'pater familias' until the
form of government has been entire
ly changed" Judge Catlin declared.
The second constitutional ground
on which the court based the decision
was the abridgement of the right of
the individual to contract. The law
interferes with both the employee and
the employer, according to the court.
The abridgement of contract was held
to be In violation of the Fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the

AMERICAN BLAMED
FOR SMYRNA AFFAIR

Washington, Nov. 28.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna
lays all responsibility for the firing
on the cruiser Tennessee's launch to
the Indifference of the helmsman of
the launch, "who, it is said, did not
heed warning of the presence of
mines"
Secretary Bryan issued a supple
mental statement on the Tennessee
incident, based on the latest commu-
nication from the Turkish minister of
war to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
'The war minister's report" said
the statement, Estates that he ascer-
tanned from the commander of Smyrna
that two blank shots of warning were
first fired and that the sentinel, after
waiting two minutes, was obliged to
fire the third shot in another direc-
ton from that Of the launch, which
latter shot was merely to prevent the
helmsman of the launch from hold
ing his course, leading directly onto
the mines at the entrance to the port,
and to rescue him from a very certain
danger"

BRITISH BATTLESH|P
BULWARk BLOWN UP

Sheerness, Eng, Nov. 27.-The Brit
ish battleship Bulwark was destroyed
by terrific explosion as she lay off
here. The ship disappeared in three
minutes. There are only fourteen sur
vivors from the crew of 700 or 800
men who were aboard.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred In her forward magazine.
Whether it was caused by accident
or design is a question to be deter
mined by the commission which has
been appointed to Investigate.
In the opinion of naval men it was
an internal explosion that put an end
to the battleship, which for twelve
years had done service at home and
abroad and lately had been doing her
part in guarding England's shores.
There was no great upheaval of wa
ter such as would have occurred If
she had been torpedoed or struck by
mine. Instead, the ship was en-
veloped in smoke and flames and when
this had cleared nothing could be
seen but wreckage floating on the
water.
Houses in towns seven and eight
miles away were shaken by the ex-
plosion and even before men on ships
anchored near by could reach their
own decks the Bulwark had disap-
peared. The neighborhood was strewn
with an enormous amount of wreck
age, while pieces of the ship were
thrown six or seven miles on to the
Essex shore.

A stab wound and not a bullet
caused the death of Frank Hansel,
bartender. whose body, with that of
the woman believed to have murdered
him, was found in a gas filled room
at St. Paul.
When the mans body was examined
it was believed he had been shot, but
an autopsy showed that death was
caused by a knife, apparently a thin
bladed dagger. The weapon has not
been found by the police.
The woman, who committed suicide
by inhaling Illuminating gas, was Mrs.

between operators and miners involv-
ed in the present Colorado coal strike
may be settled.
The commission, officials explained,
was not appointed to deal with the
existing differences which have caused
riotlng and bloodshed in Colorado.
Hywel Davies and w. r. Fa1rlay, the
conciliators who have been attempt
ing to settle the strike for several
months, will continue their efforts to
have the operators and miners agree
on a settlement of the present strike.
The appointment of such a commits
sion was contemplated in the plan for
temporary settlement of the strike
which the president proposed several
months ago and which was accepted
by the miners, but rejected by the
operators. One of the chief objections
of the, operators to the plan was the
naming of the commission,
Obvious Way to Peace.
The president announced in his
statement that the commission will
place themselves "at the service alike
of the miners and the operators of the
mines of Colorado in case controversy
between them should in the future de-
