CHOLERA CAM
PA|CN SUCCESS
Not Single Case in the County,
Government Expert
Reports.

Adjoining Districts to
Continue.
OTHER COUNTIES ARE STARTING

Perry, Ia, July 11.-After a little
over a years work, the government
experts who were sent to Dallas
county to assist in the fight which
the department of agriculture is
waging against hog cholera report
that there is not single case with
in the county. None has been re-
ported for over a month.
Last year the loss to the farmers
of Dallas county amounted to more
than 100000. Through the efforts
of the governor and the representa-
tive, the government was induced to
make this county one of the expert
mental stations and the results have
been highly gratifying. Perfect
township organizations have been
effected and the farmers of every
district have worked in harmony
with DR.. J. S. Koen and the other
veterinary surgeons in charge of the
work. A year ago more than 100
herds were affected, but the cam
paign has been carried on so vigor-
ously that at this time there is no
cholera whatever.
At present 'border campaign"
in which the adjoining counties are
taking part, has been started with
very gratifying results. The state
college and the state veterinary sur
geon are assisting in the work.

BOLD ROBBERS
LOOT TRAIN
"Katy Flyer Held up in True Jesse
James Style-Bandits Escape,
Taking Prisoner.
VALUE OF SWAG UNKNOWN.
Two Robbers Overpower Trainmen
Forcing Them to Detach Baggage
and Express Coaches.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 1.-THE two
masked bandits who held up the
westbound katy Flyer" on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railroad, near
Matson, Mo-, 60 miles northwest of
st. Louis, Thursday night, captured
a track walker who surprised them
as they were robbing the train and
took him away with them to prevent
him spying on their departure. The
train, which left St. Louis at $50
Thursday night for Texas, was stop
ped at Matson, Mo-, on the north
bank of the Missouri river, at 1915
p. m. There the bandits are sup
posed to have boarded the train.
After the train had gone short
distance from Matson, John Snadley,
the engineer, heard noise behind
him and, turning, looked down the
barrels Of two revolvers. "He told
me to stop the train," said the en-
gineer, land 1 stopped. Then they
told the fireman to run back and I'M
couple the train between the last ex-
press car and the first passenger
car
The fireman did as he was told
and the bandits forced the engineer
to run the engine and express cars
to point near Klondyke on the
river bank. They to the wall while
they blew both doors entered the
American Express company car and
forced the manager, J. C. Nichol-
son, to stand with his face to the
wall while they blew both doors
from the safe. While this work was
going on a track walker, said to be
William Christopher, appeared. The
robbers announced they would take
him prisoner.
When the train first stopped at
the command Of the bandits the con-
ductor, A. L.. Mudd, and William
Glass, train auditor, got off to learn
the trouble.
eve we're greeted with fusillade
of Shots" said Mudd, "and were
told to stay in the coaches. We
stayed in. I thought 1 saw five or
six men, but of this l am not posi-
tive"
The engineer, the fireman and the
express messenger say there were
only two robbers. The bandits made
no effort to modest the passengers,
whom they warned to keep their
heads inside the windows.
The express messenger refused to
discuss the robbery, saying that the
rules of the company enforced ST.
lence on him. So far as known moth
ing was taken except the contents
of the express safe. Mudd said he
saw several pieces of jewelry on the
floor of the express car after the
robbery.
The bandits are thought to have
crossed the Missouri river near the
scene of the robbery and to have
started south.

The Basic Single-Tax Principle.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In reply to William H. Dali as to the
fallacies Of the single tax l wish TO say
the gentleman does not seem to compre-
bend the meaning OF the word justice
In order to get a clear and definite un-
derstanding one must begin at the root
Of things. For instance, land is the basis
Of all things used by mankind. From II
springs what We call opportunity and
everything that man requires In this
life. To begin with, land was undouot-
eddy made for all the people for all
time to come II any portion is held out
of use, the people not owning land are
bound to suffer because they are unable
to get at the opportunities which come
through the use Of land.
When We tax the products of labor we
rob the toiler or the real producer, but
when we stop taxing the products OF Ia
Dor and simply say to mankind that any
one using land shall pay to the COM
munity for its use it can readily pc rea-
receiving service from the community
and when that person pays to the govern
ment for that service 1t Is not tax but Q
payment for services rendered, which is
absolutely just both to the individual ana
the people as a whole.
The time is almost here in this country
when this sound principle will be put INTO
effect all over our land. 80 That the gov
eminent will not say to the people, as 1t
does at present and has done for over
a hundred years. that one should be taxed
according to his ability to pay. This Is
robbery and is justified under the present
laws When the people realize that the
principle necessary to sound government
and the happiness of people is that no
Individual or no government has a right
to take anything from the producer ex-
cept in so far as 1t gives q just return.
then this robbery and humbug in taxa
ton will cease. A. b. JOttNSoN.

POST EXTENSION
RURAL DELIVERY MENACE
Senator Bankhead Defends Plan to
Curtail Powers Of Post
master General.

Entering a vigorous protest against
charges which have been made to the ef-
feet that the Senate post once committee
is opposed to the extension OF the parcel
post, Chairman Bankhead Of the commits
tee yesterday defended the provision
placed In the post office appropriation by
his committee which would prevent the
Postmaster General from changing rates,
weight limits and zones without first re-
reiving the authority from Congress to
do so.
Senator Bankhead said:
TT is for the American people to de-
eide whether they prefer rural free deliv-
cry or parcel post I am satisfied IN my
own mind that the extension of the
weight limit at which q parcel may be
sent through the mail would mean the
death Of rural free delivery.
Heavier parcels now are transmitted
through the mail in tho United States

IF KIDNEYS and

Kidney and Bladder weakness
result from uric acid, says noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
10 the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and infiame,
causing a burning, scalding sensa-
| tion, or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sui-

Bladder weakness, most folks
I call it, because they can't control

( annoying and sometimes very
painful, this is really one of the
most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of lad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast. continue this for

Reversal of Senate Opinion.

The Chamberlain amendment to the
general arbitration treaties. which the
senate rejected last week. was similar
in many respects to this amendment
adopted to the enlarged treaties in 1912,
and indicates reversal of opinion on
the part of the Senate in view of changed
conditions since that time.
Should Great Britain and France agree
to the amendment to the enlarged
treaties. there would be nothing for the
United States to do but submit to an
exchange Of Publications. In view of the
extension Of the limited treaties. how

Likely to Lie Dormant.

These conventions, which would extend
the scope and obligation OF the policy of
arbitration adopted in the general arb
tration treaties with Great Britain and
France. probably will be permitted to lie
dormant in view OF the extensions of the
original treaties authorized by the Senate
last Saturday.
The Senate eliminated from the Knox
treaties a provision which would submit
to joint high comm ssion cases in which
the contracting governments should DIS
agree as to whether difference was sub
iect to arbitration under the terms of the
treaty. Should all or all but one of the
commission agree that such a difference
was within the scope Of the treaty, the
question would be submitted to a-b,tra-
ton at The Hague tribunal Ina addition
to striking out this provision, the Senate
adopted another amendment. consenting

KNOX PEACE PACTS
{ LIE IN P|GEONHOLE
The Arbitration Treaties, as
Amended, Are Likely to Re-
main Dormant.

Attention was called at the Capitol to-
day to the fact that arbitration treaties
negotiated with Great BRIAN and France
by former Secretary of State Knox. and
ratified by the Senate with amendments
March Z. 1912, are stored in the archives
Of the State Department. and never have
been In force. Neither Great Britain nor
France has communicated to the United
States government their attitude as to
amendments enacted by the Senate after
the original negotiations had been con-
cluded.
In the Senate today there was appar-
ently no disposition to recall the treaties.
and unless Great Britain France should
ask to have the negotiations reopened
the foreign relations committee or the
Senate has nothing before it in connec-
ton with these agreements.
