Rail WAY RATES
TO Be ADVANCED
Public Treasury Will Be Relieved
of Burden of Meeting Deficits
in Earnings.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return of Roads
ArouSeS Interest at the Ma
tional Capital.

Washington.-The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. OF
the editors giving it as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only II per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end Of the
year.
In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
l. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost Of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur-
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
aboutzz5 per cent. as compared with
an increase in operating costs Of from
so to 80 per cent.
2. Greater naturalization Of public
control of transportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment in place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act Of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $750,O00,O00
to $1,000 100000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion Of rail-
road facilities.
How the States voted in the nation
al poll Of editors on the question Of
the return of the railroads to private
management is shown by the following
chart. That the railroad question is a
non-partisan issue is plain from a
study of the table:

bank notes and pockets full of jewelry
for several days when the police
learned of his suddenly acquired
riches and took him into Juvenile
court, where he told of discovering his
treasure trOve.
He was playing in a New York East
side street the other day when he fell
through coal hole. There wasn't
much in the cellar to excite his inter-
est, so ne tried the upper floors Of the
house, which he found to be deserted.
There, he told the police, he found
rooms with their floors strewn with
money; S. and. $40 bills had been
wadded and thrown In every corner,
and jewelry Uttered the dressing
tables.
Investigation by the police verified
the boys statement. They learned
that the house had been occupied by
Mrs. James Sandman, a recluse ninety
years old, who had died a few days
before. The boy was the first person
to enter the house after the woman
had been removed to a hospital, and
the money, thought to be rents from
her tenants, had lain where she had
thrown It on the floor as she re-
ceived 1t.

WHITE TRIBE IN CHINA HILLS
and Are Noted for Their Fero-
clous Courage.

A tribe Of white men whose chief
characteristic is their ferocious cour-
age, has been found In the western
mountains Of China by DR.. Joseph
Beech, president of the West China
Union university. at Changta. Doctor
Beach, who recently arrived in this
country to aid in the Methodist Epis-
copal centenary campaign for $780,
10000 for missionary work ut home
and abroad, tells also Of another race
of white men, who greatly resemble
Bohemians, to be found in the great
hills.
"There are 40 or. so different tribes
Doctor Beech said, "an speaking
different languages and all differ
ent in physical appearance in the
mountains of west and southwest
Szechuen. On our maps these tribes
are called a part of China, but they
are really independent, and have
fought the Chinese from time imme-
mortal.

The Doctor Away From Home WheI
Most Needed

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pam m the stomach and bowels, collie,
ana dlarrhoea require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or physician summoned.
me right way is to keep at hand a
bottle OF Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician can
prescribe better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may save
life.
