ands of men who work in the
great steel mills, the coal mines,
the lumber industry and in the
big car and locomotive shops
are equally vitality affected, for
when the railroads are making
extensive Improvements and
buying heavily of these supplies
it means that these great in
dustries are running full shift,
while when the railroads are
subsisting only upon absolute
necessities it means that many
of them are only working half
shift and this is the state of
affairs which has prevailed for
some time and which is respon-
sible for the thousands of un-
employed who crowd every city
In the land at the present mo-
ment.
FARMER VITALITY CONCERNED
That the farmer has a very
vital and personal interest in
this situation should be appar-
ent at a glance. When tt 9
millions Of laboring men in the
United States are profitably
employed and when all our
great industrial enterprises are
running full shift it means that
he will have a larger demand
and receive a higher price for
the things he produces on his
farm-for his corn, wheat, pork
beef, mut ton, cotton, wool and
other farm products. In other
words, so interdependent have
we become, and so closely allied
are the interests Of the farmer,
the merchant, the manufacture
er, the laborer and every other
great national interest, that

IL w NSt ceAatA Nss''SSA' .,
railroads has very much streng-
tbened the plea of the western
lines for an increase in rates is
admitted upon every hand. If
the eastern lines, where there
is a greater density of tonnage
naturally are entitled to such
an advance how much more
are the western lines entitled
to it?
In contemplating the crisis
which confronts the railroads
at the present time, and which
was briefly explained in last
weeks article, it is important
for the reader to realize that
the railroads and the public
face each other under radically
changed conditions today from
those which prevailed a few
years ago. The abuses and
scandals which have been aired
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission during recent
months were perpetrated for
the most part under the old
regime of a dozen or so years
ago, and can never be repeated
under the conditions which
now prevail. On the one hard,
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the different states,
either through their Public
Utility Commissions, Legisla-
lures or Railway Commissions
say what rates the railroads
shall charge for service. In
addition to this, a proposal is
now pending in Congress to
give the government the right
to investigate all new inter
state securities before they
can be placed upon the market,
while similar authority is a.
ready being exercised within
the states by the different pub
lie service commissions. This
means that the last vestige OF
control over their finances will
have been taken away from the
railroads and that henceforth
their fate will lie absolutely in
the hollow of the peoples
hands. In this connection, we
wish to again remind the reed
err that the hundreds of honest
railroad officials throughout the
country men who have man
aged their properties without
a breath of scandal or public
criticism should rot be COR
demned because of the mis-
d ,eds of the few. With an
aroused public conscience on
the one hand and scores of
railroad officials throughout
the country sincerely s.nd ac-
lively cooperating with the
different public authorities On
the other, we can safely let by
cones be by cones wipe the
slate, and, with a square deal
for the people, the investor ard
the railroads alike, "start over
again"
WHERE, RAILROAD RECEIPTS GO

realiz what tremendous fac.
tor the railroads are in the ev-
cry day business life of the ma

prosperity, we wish to analyze
briefly what becomes of an av-

Just as the idea has prevailed
in the minds of many that the
railroads are owned by a few
rich men, so the thought has
also found deep root that
they collect millions of dollars

David with his sling going out to slay the giant Goliath. We need Davids to face the Goliaths of our day. I come not to offer you a life of ease and pleasure: to tell you to find some nice religious cozy-corner, curl up and go to sleep. come with call to arms. We need men to fight.
 What is that in thy hand? It is the power to use your life for the uplift of society. The giants of sin spit upon the church and hiss their defiance. Religion is a mans job. If you are a man and want to em- ploy all the manhood that is in you, give your heart to Christ and get into the conflict with sin. There are too many associate members of the church. Too many who like to see someone else fight the battles of the cross: who will stand on the side lines and say "Sic 'em,'' but never get into the game themselves.
 What is that in thy hand?' We look up to the figure of a man nailed to the cross. Tn His hand-blood- shed for you and me. He used that which was in His hand to save a lost and sin-cursed world. May we bring back to Him the service of our lives and lay the best we can give, our- selves, at His feet.

A Medicine of Merit

A proprietary medicine, like every thing else that comes before the pub- lie, has to prove it's merits. The law of the survival of the fittest ap- plies in this field as in others. The reason for the tremendous success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is because it has been fulfill ing a real human need for forty years. so that today thousands of American women owe their health and happi- ness to the marvellous power of this famous medicine, made from roots and herbs-nature's remedy for woman's ills.

ARCHIE MILLETT
is ARRESTED FOR
MALICIOUS ACTION
Blowing Up of Summer House
Of Manley D. Farm
ham July A II

Archie E. Millett was arrested at
about o'clock Wednesday afternoon
at his residence, Amherst street, by
officer Charles F. Witham on war
rant sworn out at the Augusta mu-
nicipal court by City Marshal Law
renee Colgan and charging him with
malicious mischief by the blowing up
at about 1915 Saturday morning, July
4. of a summer house on the premises
of Manley D. Farnham at 81 Western
avenue.
1t will be remembered that at the
time of the explosion which, in addi-
ton to wrecking the summer house,
broke a lot of glass in the windows
of the Farnham house and also in the
Millett house, the peculiar nature. of
the wreckage wrought in the summer
house led to a strong suspicion that
the explosive used was dynamite, and
acting upon this belief City Marshal
Colgan at once began a quiet investi-
cation. Since Saturday morning he
had been collecting evidence bit by
bit until Wednesday afternoon he
asked for and was given a warrant
by the court and Millett's arrest fol-
lowed.
Millett, who made no resistance
when arrested by Officer Witham and
made no statement, will be arraigned
before the municipal court this morn
ing to answer to the charge preferred
against him in the warrant.
