OEh0UNCt THE BILL

Washington, Feb. 2s-Accredited
representatives of two million railroad
/ employees involved in the recent wage
controversy with the railroad admin
istration today left with President
Wilson an unanimous resolution de-
nouncing the Cummins- Esch bill re-
Gently passed by congress and now
before the president for final consider
alton
The provision OF the bill which
guarantees the railroads an Income
OF Ia per cent on their capital
stock after they pass into the hands
Of their private owners on March
first is denounced in the resolution
as violating the fundamental prin-
ciples of American government" The
measure is characterized as "inyidi-
Gus class legislation" and President
Wilson is called upon to veto it,
The main points of protest en-
phasized in the resolution follow.
THAT this bill violated In its
provisions the fundamental principles
or American government in that il
guarantees to the owners of railroad
vice which the railroads afford the
public.
2. That this is a grant OF n nart;cp-
lar, exclusive and special privilege dis
tinct from those enjoyed by investors
In other securities in other industries.
J. That the bill establishes a tribu
nal authorized TO fix prices to be paid
for labor in the operation OF the rail-
roads. thereby attempting to deprive
the employees OF railroads of their
former inherent right to determine
the amount of wages they should re-
eeive by negotiation between en-
ployes.
Paris, Feb. 26.--It is ridiculous to
shut our eyes to the truth, The
French rail men are striking not for
the stupid pretext OF the dismissal of
one man but to foster naturalization
Of the railway lines of France
Neither the government nor the
public has any illusions about this
movement which is directed by ex-
tremfsts who are thus starting a Boil
shevist revolution.

"Where are the maniacs?" quered
Mr. Bowen, That is the question ask

this institution in my minds eye and
pick out scores of men and women
who for years lived in the most alb

700 screen rooms here ten years ago
in which patients were securely locked
"a hours a day and 365 days in the
year.
These were emptied long ago, the
doors removed, their walls plastered,
beds placed in them and their patients
transferred TO dormitories where they
have since lived in comparative peace
and comfort Most of them are not
recognizable, so great has been the
change in their personal appearance.
One of our great trusted men who has

The Illinois state hospitals today
have no screen doors or padded cells
nor has anything been devised that
answers the same purpose in another

RECITALS
THE Frog Prince"

Keokuk villa soon have the oppor-
tunity of welcoming back as its own.
William Lester, for some years a resi-.
dent of Keokuk, later of Chicago, and
now one Of the foremost figures in the
creative field Of modern music. That
America is land OF golden oppor-
tunity is a truism oft repeated-but
it is seldom that such vivid exam
pie OF the success that comes to a
great gift properly cultivated is seen.
Many Of the Keokuk people will re-
member a quiet, unobtrusiye young
English boy, frail in physique and re-
firing in disposition, who came to
this city with his parents in 1902. He
soon caused much comment by his
magnetic piano playing, and through
the Kindness of Miss Jane Carey, he
was given a thorough course in piano
and musical culture at her hands.
Also, he was encouraged and devel-
oped by the Monday Music club. In
the fall of 1908, he went to Chicago,
where he further pursued his studies.
Since that time he has steadily forg ID
ahead, climbing professionally because
of his phenomenal organ playing and
specializing il the difficult field of
concert accompanying. He has ap-
peared with such artists as Edmund
Clement, Eleanore di Cisneros, Helen
Stanley, Warren Proctor, Reinald
Werrenrath, Florence Hinkle, Nine.
Kutscherra, JULIO Koskelo, Lambert
Murphy, Jane Osborn-Hannah, Her

few. For some Ave years he was or
