TO SETTLE LABOR DISPUTES.
Federal Body Should Fix Railway
 Rates and Wages.

Baton Rouge. l.a.-CommentinS on the prospective railroad strike for higher wages. the Times says:
 Congress should pass an act at once giving the interstate commerce com. mission authority to settle the labor disputes. just as it has the right to fix rates.
 IL iS more important that the inter- state commerce commission have the right 10 fix wages and settle disputes than it is that il have the right to de- termine freight rates and prohibit re bates.
 Business can hobble along under high freight rates. Death would fol- low a general railroad strike
 Both the railroads and the railroad men may bc able to withstand a strike but the public cannot The public k not in position to face general strike of the railroads in the country.
 The calamity is too awful to con template.
 It would be more frightful than n dozen Mexican wars It should not be in the power of a set of men to bring such a dis9Stcr to the public.
 The commission has the right to say what the railroads shall charge for their service
 This commission should be given the right to say what they shall pay for the labor that it takes 70 perform this service
 And it should be given this authority al once.

Socialist Blacked
 Frank Yantis' Eve

Frank s. Yantis of this city, but whose official residence is in Scott City, Kansas, was prevailed upon by some Kansas c. o. Peters to make the race for representative from Scott county as the nominee of the republican party, and this morning The Press received a short letter from Frank stating he was beaten for the office by a socialist. Frank said he ran ahead of the democrat,
 but the socialist outstripped him.
 The fact that Yantis is railroad man and the democratic, candidate a banker is assigned as the cause for the socialist triumph. Franks democratic friends in Arkansas will probably not send him any mes sages of condolence on the ground that he ought to have known bet ter than to desert the democratic party and take up with strange gods in Kansas. The consensus of opinion locally is that Frank got what was coming to him and that it is in order for him to repent in sack cloth and ashes for the folly of consorting with the malefactors of predatory wealth.

 E. Martineau i'll chancery court, less than hour before the hearing was scheduled to be called at the .state capitol.
 Dr. Baldwin claims he secured a license to practice in the state on August IS, 1903. On October 19 he says he received a notice that the state, at relation of Dr. H. H.
 Rightor, chairman of the legisla- tive committee of the Phillips coun- ty medical society, had filed with the state board a complaint charg- ing him with advertising in news papers special ability to treat and cure chronic and incurable diseases. The hearing had been set for 1:30 o'clock November 15.

Defendants. members of the state board, are DTS. w. F. Smith, J. A, Bogard, F. T. Isbell, o. D. Ward, F. J. Stout, E. F. Ellis and J. P. Wallis.
