"Unification Of Regulation 10 Essential" !"
a Complete, Harmonious, Consistent
and Related System Needed-FsdsraI
Incorporation of Railroads by GOnor-
al Law Favored.
Washington, March 6.-Responsibil-
itV for the railway development of the
country, for providing necessary trans
poHtation facilities to care for the grow
ing business and population Of the
country, now rests largely with con-
greSs and not entirely with the rail-
road managers. This was the state
ment of Judge Robert s. Lovett, chair
man Of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific system, to the Newlands
joint congressional committee when
that body resumed its inquiry into
the subject of railroad regulation this
week.
In making this statement of the
changed conditions Of the railroad sit
uation Judge LOvett undoubtedly had
in mind the decision of the supreme
court on the AdamsOn law, handed
down last week, which establishes the
right of the federal government to fix
railroad wages and to prevent strikes.
This decision is regarded by railroad
men and lawyers as marking an epoch
in the development of transportation
in the United States.
1--WE have our share of responsible
ity," said Judge LOvett, "but it rests
primarily on congress. When the gov
ernment regulates the rates and the
financial administration of the rail
roads, the borrowing of money and the
issuance of securities it relieves the
railroad officers of the responsibility of
providing and developing transporta-
ton systems, except within the limits
Of the revenue that can be realized from
such rates and under such restrictions.
For q country such as ours, for a
people situated as we are, to blunder
along with a series of unrelated incon-
sistent, conflicting statutes enacted by
different states without relation to
each other, instead Of providing a com
plete and carefully studied and pre-
pared system Of regulation for a busi-
ness that is so vital to the life of the
nation, is worse than folly"
He summed up the present problems

THE NEW CONGRESS

The urgent call for deep considera-
ton of affairs affecting the United
States in its relation to other nations
Of the earth has gone to Congress. By
the proclamation of President Wilson
they will convene on April End, in
stead of April 18th, which was the date
first selected.
The organization of the house will
be a prominent feature for the first de-
liberation, and the grave international
situation will likely prove a barrier TO
haggling-for the house must get down
to business Immediately.
There is a storing likelihood that
Champ Clark will be reelected as
speaker of the house. Certainly. the
Republicans are not united in their
support of Leader Mann.
The house will give no trouble in the
matter of international affairs. The
senate can be expected to hear speech
es from several pro-Germans. among
those being the surviving members Of
the despicable dozen" But as a
whole the American people do not in
tend to have Congress halt and
bubble over the delicate situation
which exists. Every member Of Con
gress have his views and could be pre-
pared to vote after the introduction OF
the measure without word of debate
as the speeches made in Congress dc
not change the minds of congressman
and senators.

YOUNG JAPANESE WOMAN TO

IN THE UNITED STATES

TOXIC, March 22-Miss Toshiko
Sakamaki, a young Japanese woman,
is leaving for the United States to
preach Shintoism, the great Japanese
religion of ancestor worship. She will
settle in Los Angeles, and while her
initial efforts will be to revive Shin
toism among the Japanese in Cali
fornia she will strive generally to con-
vert Americans.
She explains her mission as that II
endeavoring to counterfeit the tendency
of young Japanese women to neglect
the beautiful manners and customs Of
old Japanese civilization" She is the
first Japanese woman Shinto mission
airy to visit America. Many times
sought in marriage she has always de-

RUSSIA'S PROBLEM.

The people of Russia face problem
in the reorganization of their govern
ment almost equal. if not more serious
than the early days of the United
States. 1t is true that pattern has
been carefully prepared for Russia by
the republic of America, coupled with
the movements in South America. But,
Russia is in great war with a power
full enemy, and the masses of their
people have not reached the same
stage of progress as had the pioneers
of our republic.
A free and unlimited republic such
as the United States would be as fatal
for Russia as her autocratic govern
ment has proven in the past The
great empire is not ready for the rule
of the people, by the people and for
the people" This seems to be a gen.
eraI conclusion already reached by the
council of ministers who have the gov
eminent of Russia in hand, for they
are debating the regency of Grand
Duke Michael, and he reciprocates by
an offer to rule if the people governed
are willing.
Nothing in all history compares with
the swift overthrow of the Romanotf
dynasty. Countries have witnessed
and survived revolutions all the days
of our lives, but the bloodIessness Of
Russia's coup is a wonder for history.
L was the red hand of murder which
flows over Frances history, but Ger
teinly civilization seems to have taken
step forward by accomplishments

Sausage.

Sausage.
Sausage is round, fat, unsentimen-
tai article of indigestion,
1t is the father of all wursts-buck,
liver and weinie. Its grandfather is
bologna. And its grandmother is more
bologna.
Sausage is two kinds, trammelled
and untrammelled Trammelled sau-
sage wears a thing spring overcoat the
year round and comes la necklace.
Untrammelled sausage is sold by the
pound and served in solitaires.
Trammelled sausage is wild. That's
why it's trammelled. This is evidenced
by the fact that it will stand Just 50
much cooking and then its bursts its
bonds.
Untrammelled, or tame, sausage just
sits and sizzles.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't lock or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. What's an inside bath p
you say. Well. it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
OF the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over III
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
q hich are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste colds, stomach trou-
BILE, kidney misery, sleeplessness, i'm
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This will
cost very little. but is sufficient to
make anyone a real crank on the sub
jet of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing. sweetening and
treshening. so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach. liver,
kidneys and bowels. 1t is vastly more
important to battle on the inside than
On the outside, because the skin pores
Go not absorb impurities into the
liood, while the bowel pores do.

THE LARGE MOVEMENT

1t is estimated that $500 negroes
have emigrated from this section to the
north. according to figures furnished
bv A railway official at Albany. At first
sight. these figures may seem too large
but when il is remembered that there
has been a steady drain for the past
six or eight months it will be seen that
only a short while is required to
mark up a long list of negroes who
have departed for the land of peace
and plenty"
Many have gone never to return as
death has wrapped them in the cold Of
their new found homes. Others are
suffering as is verified by recent re-
ports and Investigations in Philadel-
phia. Some have returned-with the
semi-humorous cry never again"
Three agents have been caught in
Sumter county and sent to the chain
gang for their illegal conduct But
this is a small proportion of the agents
who have operated throughout this
cestion. The negroes who have been
convicted of emigration work are pos
sibly less guilty than those higher up"
in command of the movements.
The Albany dispatch states that the
movements has virtually ceased. In
comparison with certain periods the
out-go is now almost negligible. Still,
there are fundamental causes which
have brought about this movement and
the white people have not made step
oward remedying these evil conditions

1t was through German and neutral
sources that disturbances in Russia
first became public, and the under-cur-
rent of thought seems to portend that
rapid results would benefit the cause of
Germany and her allies in the gerat
war. But not so, if all our available
information is to be given credence.
Russia has renewed her energies for a
greater war with a successful con-
clusion. 1t was the powerful senti-
ments of the people against the pro-
German influence in Russia which
eliminated in the abdication of Nichol
as II.
The United States will soon recog-
nize the new government, according TO
dispatches from Washington. The
moral attitude of the United States
will be a sincere hope that Russia will
take her place among the peoples Of
the earth with a government by the
consent of the governed-though it be
monarch or republic.

CIVIC BODIES SEND TELE-
GRAMS TO UNITED STATES
SENATORS IN INTEREST OF
POSTOFFICE.

Several good road boosters of
Morgan City have demonstrated
their interest in the future welfare
of the city by getting the Chamber
Of Commerce, the city council and
the financial institutions of the
city to sign kilograms to United
States Senators Broussard and
Ransdell to use all of their influence
in the interest of the appropriation
bill which comes up in the senate
this week for consideration by that
body. The bill was passed last week
by the House and gave Morgan
City $4,000 for a public building.
In view Of the fact that Senator
Broussard is the man who makes
the appointment Of the postmaster
here under the present administra-
ton, there is no doubt but that it
will have his hearty support.
