TRADE At Low EBB'
Proof of Industrial Depression Is
Evident Everywhere.
Empty Freight Cars on Sidings Tell
the Story-RepubIican Party 10
Sure to Be Returned
to Power.

IF the Democratic leaders think or
believe that there is not an indus
trial depression in the country, let
them ask the railroads to make a
statement as to traffic conditions, and
the number of empty cars on the sid
fngs, said W. A Rodenburgh, former
member of the house of representa-
tives from East ST. Louis. Il chal-
lenge the Democrats to investigate
industrial conditions. 1 have been
told that some of my Democratic
friends have ridiculed what l said re-
Gently regarding conditions through
out the country. Not long ago 1 went
from Washington to East st. Louis,
and on the train l met the traffic man
ager of one of the big railroads. He
is a Democrat, but he is a business
man. He pointed out thousands of
empty cars on the sidings, and he ex-
planned that there are in. the country
hundreds of thousands of empties
crowding the side tracks. Hundreds
of thousands, mind you, whereas "a
year ago there was shortage.
The prosperity of the railroads
means the prosperity of the country.
1t is statistical fact that 40 per cent.
of the steel industry of the country
Is dependent upon the railroads The
ramifications of this industry are in
calculable. 1 believe that if the five
per cent. increase in rates should be
granted by the interstate commerce
commission. it would mean an almost
immediate resumption of activity by
the great railroad lines. AS it is no
extenson work has been planned or
done for long time.
There can be no doubt that the Re
publican party will win this year The
Progressives have been disintegrating
for long time There will be no har-
mony among Republicans and Progress
sives, unless Colonel Roosevelt de-
crees it. 1t is up to him. The Pro-
gressive party without Colonel Roose-
welt would not live a month. 1t was
not the Progressive party principles
that made Democratic victory posi-
BILE, but the personality of Mr.. Roose-
welt. / do not believe that Colonel
Roosevelt is as strong as he was, but
| do say that the question of the
strength of the opposition to the
Democracy will depend largely upon
what he does"

MUNICIPAL RULE A PROBLEM
Professor Biackmar Says University
Should Train Future Officials of

That cities of the future will be
governed by superintendent trained
in sociological theory and practice by
the great universities of the country,
is the opinion of Prof. F. W. Black
mar, head of the department of so
GEOLOGY at the University of Kansas
In an address on sociology at the
university recently, Professor Black
mar declared that the next step after
the commission form of city govern
ment was government by a municipal
manager, responsible to the people
through an elected board of govern
OrS who hired him The board men,
bers would serve without pay and de-
vote only a small part of their time
to the business of governing the city,
after the manner of school boards.
One of the greatest problems that
is before US today is government of
cities,'' said Professor Blackmar
THE ancient and cumbersome bicam-
eral system has fallen into disrepute
in progressive communities, and as a
remedy, the commission form of gov
eminent is proposed. 1t is only q
half-remedy though, and under it, our
cities are governed by men that gain
office largely through their vote-get-
ting capacities, not by their abilities
as governing officials.
so here is where the university
steps in. 1t should train men to gov
ern cities as it now trains men to
build bridges, teach high schools and
cure bodily ailments.

OPERATE ON JULIA MARLOWE
Noted Actress Taken to Baltimore
Hospital While Suffering
From Appendicitis.

Baltimore, Md.-It has leaked out
here that Miss Julia Marlowe (Mrs.
E. H. SotheTn), the actress, is a pa
tient at the Women's hospital, where
she has undergone an operation for
appendicitis. Although the hospital
employees deny it, the information
seems to be reliable. Many long dis
lance telephone messages have been
received inquiring about her condition.
While playing with her husband in
Los Angeles several weeks ago, Miss
Marlowe was threatened with appen-
dicitis. On the advice of physicians
she was rushed to New York.
On several previous occasions Miss
Marlowe had been under the care OF
a specialist connected with the Johns
Hopkins hospital, and it is believed
she came to Baltimore to have the
benefit of his advice.

RooseveIt,s Position.

A full discussion of the discredit-
able part Theodore Roosevelt played
in the campaign of 1912 is a feature
of Saturday Evening Post article
written by ex-President Taft. Mr.
Taft points out that the sources from
which the Roosevelt votes came were
the Republicans as well as the Demo
Gratis who were carried along by his
radicalism and who believed that in
CAPABILITIES and sufferings in human
society could be relieved by the adop-
ton of governmental measures advo-
Gated, by Roosevelt. Added to these
were the company of the discontinued
who were glad to find their home
with a party that was protest
against everything that was and gave
therefore promise of a change in
their own conditions. Reviewing
these facts Mr.. Taft comes to the
fair conclusion that Roosevelt was
far from receiving at the polls the
support of majority of all the voters
who had a right to voice in the
selection at Chicago of the Republican
candidate for the presidency.

TEXANS GET vERGARA's BODY
Mysterious Group Crosses Bor-
der Into Mexico.

Laredo, Textile mutilated body
OF Clemente Vergara, the Texas
ranchman lured into Mexico by Mex
lean federal soldiers, was secretly
brought to the American side of the
Rio Grande river by mysterious
party of men.
Departing as secretly as they had
crossed the river the men who disin-
tered the body from the Hidalgo
Mexican cemetery and bore it many
miles over a rough trail to American
territory left no trace of their iden-
tity.
American Consul Garrett of Neuvo
Laredo, Mexico, and Capt. ]. j. San
ders of the Texas Rangers were the
only persons on the American side
who were told of the intended deliv-
cry of the body at the border. They
went to the scene, forty-five miles up
the river from Laredo, found the body
as they had been told they would, and
had it brought back to Laredo pend
ing an examination the state will
make.
None of the officials would make a
statement except to set at rest
earlier reports that Texas Rangers
and friends of Vergara had acted to-
gether in crossing into Mexico and
obtaining the body for burial by the
family.
Vergara was shot twice through the
head and once through the neck, his
skull was crushed as by blow from
a rifle butt and the charred fingers
of the left hand indicated that he had
been tortured before being put to
death.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and a fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. l washed the child's face With
very warm water and Cuticura Soap.
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
