proved, according to a bulletin
issued by attending physicians
during the wait at Laredo, where
his train arrived at 8 o'clock.
Gompers was not removed from
lis car while it was being trans
ferred from the Mexican railway
line to the international Great
Northern railroad. The train left
Laredo at $50 o'clock and is due
to arrive at San Antonio at 3:45
p. m. That his condition does not
warrant his being placed in a hos

Gated by the fact that no hospital
reservations have been made. In
stead a suite of rooms at the
st. Anthony Hotel has been re-
served.
Consultation By Doctors.
A consultation Of physicians will
be called in Gompers' room upon
his arrival at the hotel, it was an

the Gompers train had to cross

Consumer Pays Freight

Freight is paid by the consumer on
this flour at the rate of 40 to SO
cents per barrel and on the surplus
wheat that goes out at the rate of
about Is cents per bushel. Thus the
Indiana farmers who should use
their own wheat are paying the bill
mot only on the flour, but the mill
feed which also comes into the
State from other States where the
flour is produced.
Indiana people, both farmers and
others, are making market for other
wheat than their own and helping
farmers in other States meet their
expenses and profits on wheat grown
in such States.
There are in operation in Indiana
2S3 flour mills with daily capacity
Of $4,000 barrels flour, which If oper-
ated 800 days in the year would con-
sumo over thirty-six million bushels
wheat, thus using more wheat than
Indiana now grows each year. These
mills are well distributed over the
wheat producing territory and the
quality OF -four produced is unex-
cel!ed

If the 100000 bushels capacity
Of these mills could be utilized by
Indiana people, they would produce
in addition to the -four more than

HIGHBROW SCIENCE

The question has been asked: "Can
the highbrow science of philosophy be
mixed up with the dollar-and-cents mat
ter of railroad rates." An attempt to
do this on the part Of those making
fight for better freight rates in Texas
has brought out this question, which
might be applied, not alone to freight
rates and railroad finances but to dol
lars and cents comprehensively. The
answer could be made, off-hand, that un-
til some sort of "highbrow" science be-
comes the basis of general thought,
Scandals in oil' and perhaps other
scandals will adcrn the front pages of
the newspaper and distress the common
mind.
The use of the word "highbrow" in
this connection is suggestive. 1t i'm
plies something beyond the common rum

ton INDUCED in by those who are not

nothing that can be said against Mr..
Stone. In fact, it is doubtful if any
body knows enough about him to be able
to say anything. However, let John
son alone for being able to find bit
of mud.
The instant the appointment of Stone
was made, Johnson let out shrek to
the effect that Stone is "a child of the
prosperous East who may be relied upon
to look with tender interest upon the
problems of the East" He then rends
the heavens with a wall for the ode
flated farmers of the West" His idea
seems to be that because the new at
torney-general comes from the East, he
will rot seek to obtain justice for any
other part of the United States. This is
equivalent to saying that the new sec
rotary of the navy who comes from Cal
ifornia will be opposed to doing anything
for the navy in the, eastern part of the
country, which is ridiculous.
Johnsons attack on the appointment
of the new attorney-general is simply
a characteristic bit of cheap demagogic
politics he so consistently plays. The
one comfort is that mud of the kind
Johnson throws always slops back into
the face of the thrower.
