LAME BACK,

Lame back is usually due to rheu-
matism of the muscles of the back.
Hard working people are most likely
to suffer from it. Relief may be had
by massaging the back with Chamber
lain's Liniment two or three times a
day. Try it. Obtainable everywhere.

SELF DlSCREDITED PARTY

Out Of the mouths of its own prophets
is the Democratic party convinced of
inefficiency, and not through any
expert evidence. During that long
session of Congress Senator John Sharp
Williams in q moment of particular
evaporation oyer some bonehead party
play, addressing his colleagues in
the Senate exclaimed: THE poor.
dear, old foolish Democratic party is
going through the same game that she
can be generally trusted to 90 through.
You cannot govern the country. You
are Incompetent.
This opinion has been sustained by
the able Democratic Attorney General,
who has taken pains to express himself
on the last Congress IN no tlatterlng
terms. In its brief appealing the five
per cent. rebate clause in the Under
wood bill, the Department of Justice
tells how this legislation was passed.
The congressional purpose of favor
ing American bottoms" says the ad
ministration, in this brief, is obstructed
by treaty provisions to the contrary,
and Congress was fully advised Of the
purport and existence of these treaties. ~
In other words, Congress, though fully
warned, went ahead in the spirit of
logged pertinacity which characterizes
Democratic legislation generally. This
opinion Of Democratic capacity to
legislate is one which is widely enter
tanned; but it is rather startling to see
Democratic Attorney General attest
ing it in an important legal proceeding.

WHY MOI OAKLAND?

Why not Oakland as a summer home
for the president? Is being asked in
this Mountain City and in answer to
that question a number of prominent
citizens are interesting themselves in
the matter.
With an elevation of about 2, 800 feet
above the level of the sea, with scenery
unsurpassed, atmosphere invigorating
and healthful and the purest of noun
tain water. Accessible by rail and
within few hours ride of the national
capital, environments conductive to
rest and vet near enough to the seat OF
government for the speedy transaction
of public matters requiring immediate
attention, Oakland's claims should not
be overlooked.

season of depression. was the bank
ruptcy railroad year of our history. In
that year seventy-four railroads went
into the hands of receivers. involving 9
mileage Of %, $40. The total mileage
in receivership amounted TO 80, 1913. II
Is quite startling to know that there
are today III receiyership hands rail
roads representing a mileage IN excess
Of the direful times Of 1893, namely,
37,93Z
Not only are these facts alarming,
but the increased number Of bankrupt
roads since the first of this year. On
January I. 1915. the capitalization and
funded debt Of roads in receivers
hands was $434, 599, 738 and $685.. 7ZS, $50
respectively. Since that time and up
to date roads with funded debt $500
424, 665 and capital stock of S267. O24, OS5
have been added. which makes the
total at this time amount 10 a funded
debt Of 81, 35l, 1913, 465 and a capitalize
ton of $70l, G23, 823 in receivers hands.
In 1898 the whole country was broken
by hard times. Today with q larger
mileage and larger Capitalization ia
Bankruptcy or on the edge, the only
reason we are not having as hard times
as in 1898, is because of the sporadic
and spotted activity produced by war.
The trouble of the railroads started
with the depression brought on by the
passage of the Underwood tariff bill,
which was aggravated by holding rates
down to bankruptcy limits. The recent
lifting of the limit by the Interstate
Commerce Commission has not helped
much. With a restored protective
tariff as an incitive to the expansion
and further activity of domestic trade
relief may come. It will never arrive
as long as Democratic economic policies
are maintained.

RURAL SERVICE CRIPPLED
Failure To Pass Appropriation Bill
Has Worked a Hardship.

Washington, D. c., Aug. q. Tie
failure of the Democrats to pass the
post Office appropriation bill in the last
Congress has shamefully crippled the
rural free delivery service.
Members of Congress declare that
complaints they are receiving from
both rural carriers and patrons have
been more numerous and bitter in the
last few months than for years before.
Rural carriers claim that they have
suffered chiefly on two counts; one that
although they are under Civil Service,
there have been hundreds Of dismissals
without just cause; the other that their
routes have been heightened and their
work increased without additional pay.
The complaints from patrons of the
rural routes are uniformly based upon
sweeping reductions in the service.
The conditions causing these COM
plants are due to the failure of the
post Office appropriation bill and the
consequent necessity for managing the
postal service under a re-enactment of
last years appropriation.
The principal cha ges ordered by the
Department reducing the carrier force
arise. first by the proposed consolida-
ton of about 1900 routes % miles long
into half that number 50 miles long;
second, in lengthening the standard
routes and still further reducing the
carrier force; third, bv making one
carrier serve two routes on alternate
days. and dropping the extra carrier,
1t is estimated that more than two
thousand rural carriers have lost their
places under these reductions.
The patrons Of the rural routes base
their criticisms, first, on the claim that
many have had to move their mail boxes
at least half a mile from former loca-
tons, and they. instead of the carriers,
must travel that distance for mail;
second, that instead of getting mail six
times a week they receive it only every
other day; third, all these changes
cripple the effectiveness of the parcel
post service, especially as to perishable
goods. There is also a general COM
plant of curtailment of the rural free
delivery service.
Mass meetings of patrons have been
held in many localities protesting
against the decentralization of their
service, and are daily becoming more
frequent.
Reports from associations of rural
carriers claim that not only have the
men lost their enthusiasm for the
service. but through fear of dismissal
have resigned. This is largely the re-
suit, it is said, of Department instruc-
tons to have Democratic postmasters,
instead Of Civil Service inspectors,
make confidential reports upon the
qualifications of carriers as a basis for
/ reductions. This arrangement has
opened the way TO rank discrimination
in favor Of Democratic carriers.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Tribune raises a question of extreme
pertinence at this time when everybody
is being called upon to Sustain the
President. He points out-what hap
pens to be the fact just now-that in
a five cornered presidential contest the
winner may receive barely two-ffths of
the entire vote. He may represent
theories that are incorrect and at
variance with the other three-ffths,
which if put into effect might injure the
country. Should such a President
ignore congress and put his thories into
effect" he asks. must follow him."
