the markets demand. Since under the Sherman Act the operators cannot CO., operate in limiting output, dividing territory, or regulating prices, they handle their mines so as to meet the market conditions; this means the mining of the thicker veins in a wasteful fashion, and neglect of the thin veins in order to get coal to the market at the lowest possible cost.
 For timber the same situation now exists as for bituminous coal. Ex- treme competition has been enforced through action against various lumber manufacturers and dealers associa- tions. In consequence of this the cut ting of timber is now being carried on so that the waste in operation are ex- cessive; for only by getting the tim- Der on the market at the lowest rates, regardless of waste, is it possible to handle the lamentable situation creat- ed by law in regard to resource which will last at the present rate of exploitation for scarcely more than fifty years.
 Under the enforced competitive sys tem,> we are recklessly skimming the cream of the natural resources of a irgin continent with no concern for the rights of four children or our children's children. They will have a score against us if we continue to ignore the future and compel the ex- treme competitive system in total dis regard of their rights.

 Syrup Pepsin is for all the family from infancy to old age, and because of it's mildness families should prefer it over all other remedies. It is ab- solutely safe and reliable. You will never again give cathartics, pills, salts or such harsh physics, for they are usually unnecessary and in the case of children, women and elderly people are a great shock to the sys- tenn, and hence should be avoided.

theory on which many senators are working. They have their ears to the ground, intent on finding out just when the people definitely set their foot against private ownership and management. It is notorious that the revelations respecting the financing and management to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad have done more than any thing else to crystalize senatorial favor for principle which, only a few years ago. was assailed as red flagged socialism.
 At any rate, whether government ownership is at land, the people have got to a point where they are not scared by calling it socialistic," said Senator Kenyon. "The people are ready to discuss it and they are go- ing to talk about it; calling the plan hard names will not deter the people longer"
 The practical obstacle to the pro- posal is the immensity of it. The railroads of the United States are worth more than fifteen billions of dollars. By refunding outstanding securities it is estimated that the government could save annually hum dreds of millions of dollars, but this single consideration has not so far made much headway as against the huge proposition of ownership.
 As a practical way out of this mammoth proposition it is suggested specially with the approval of some of the progressives, that the United State acquire a single trans-conti- mental and one Lakes-tothe-Gulf line which would act as rate regula- tors and affect indirectly most local rates.

U. S. SENATOR KERN
 COMMENDS CLARKE
Says Arkansas Statesman Is Thor. Oughbred Democrat and Is
 Highly Esteemed.

Little Rock, Feb. 14.-A telegram just received from Senator John w. Kern, leader and former running mate of William Jennings Bryan, for vice president, forms 8 striking and authoritative refutation of an Ark ansas campaign canard which has been circulated assidiously in an ef- fort to harm Senator James P. Clarke in his candidacy for reelection to the U. s. Senate.
 The telegram from the noted h. diana statesman shows absolutely Senator Clarke's standing as a Demo- crat end as a leader of Democrats. thus puncturing the bubble blown by his political enemies who charge that Senator Clarke has voted with the Republicans, and has been too friend ly with the Republicans, doubtless basing their canard upon a compli- ment paid by Ex-President Roosevelt to Senator Clarke giving the Arkan- sas senator credit justly due him fo1 the building of the Panama Canal The telegram in full follows:

OWNERSHIP OF
 RAlLRAOADS GAINS Government Supervision Is Y Becoming More Plausible,
 Is Is Said.
CHANGE IS MARKED,
Few Years Ago People Regarded Such Scheme as Highly Impossible, and Never to Occur.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washington, Feb. 14-Strides to-
 ward government ownership of rail-
 roads have been taken by the United
 States Senate within the last year
 the elder members of that body re- w.garded as impossible two years ago esThe passage of the Alaska railroad
 bill is one evidence of this sentiment
 but even more significant perhaps than this act, which actually provides for government construction and own ership of a railroad, is the trend of { senatorial comment whenever evil
 dence of mismanagement of private
 railroad lines is presented to the at tention of senators.
 Government construction and own proved by the senate not necessarily 5 because it believes in government
 ownership, but because it was be- < lieved that private interests would never build the lines except on condi- tiOns which the government was un- < willing to grant. The construction of private lines meant that coal, mineral and agricultural lands must be \ thrown open in a manner too prOdi- E gal to appeal to the taste of the new z order of conservation. Consequently x the passage of the Alaska railroad % bill is not regarded as the best evi- dence of the growth of genuine pub lie ownership spirit in the Senate. A group of progressive republicans comprising Senator Cummins, Ken yon, Borah, Norris, Clapp and Bris- d tow has been specially frank in out
 liniNS views on the public ownership kof Railroads.
 ' It is suggested that they are, per Ehaps specially frank in explaining 6their views because the republicans s have generally been relieved of re- Responsibility for the national welfare < But, whatever the cause, the fact re- &mains that valuable statements re- #garding the imminence of public own. Xership of railroads are made prac- 8tically every day.
 # Few senators are ready to urge &government acquisition of railroad
 lines immediately but they regard this kstep as inevitable unless honest man of railroads is evolved, and #complete, effective control of rates #and practises is given to the Inter,
 ktate Commerce Commission.
 M Whenever the people believe they 8can be better served through govern $ment ownership of transportation $lines than they are now served by
 private ownership. practical steps to ] ward federal acquisition of lines will l De undertaken; this is the genera

SUCCESSFUL TEST
OF Mail CATCHER
Melchoir Device PutThrOugh
Series of Demonstrations
on Peoples Line
WILL BE SUBMITTED
TO THE GOVERNMENT

In the presence Of the inventor.
Ludwig Melchior, government Off
cials and many spectators, the Mel
chior Mail Catching Device was test
ed at Oak Grove, near Elsmere, yes
torday afternoon. The demonstrations,
which lasted for more than an hour
we're successful in every way, and the
promoters of the new invention, Mr..
Melchior. Robert NJ. Burns and George
H. Jones. were so pleased that they
secured Nicholas Jones of the Savoy
Theatre to take moving pictures Of
the apparatus in operation. These
are now being shown at the local
theatre.
The Molchlor device. which prom
ises 10 revolutionize the handling Of
mails on railway trains, consists of a
large upright iron column, surmount-
ed with a large basket. The weight
of the mail matter on this holds down
the basket, which, when empty, turns
back. Below the basket is an iron
arm fitted with a knob, and this pro-
irudes in ring fitted on the side of
the mail car. which holds the mail
bags When the train dashes past the
device. the momentum of the train
throws the arm with the mail back
towards the station.
Yesterday demonstrations were
made with the express car of the PeO-
pies Railway Company, and the dem
onstrations consisted of receiving and
discharging first ono sack of mail,
then two and later four sacks.
Several similar tests have been
made within the past two weeks, and
the promoters of the device will now
take their model TO Washington for
tests by government experts.
Railroad men, who witnessed the
workings yesterday, declared that the
new device removed all possibility of
an engineman being struck by the pro-
truding arm as il fell towards the
station, and away from the train. af-
ter the mail had been deposited on
the hook. When no mail is to be de-
/ livcred to the passing train. the bas-
ket discharging appartus is out OF
the way.
