Oct ober 19, 1$05 Tho cardinal features of tbeso chang- il conditions aro, first, tho fact that now highway, tho railway, Is, from commercial standpoint, of Infinitely rrcat Iraportanco than was tlio old liighway, tho wagon road; and, second, hat this now highway, tho railway, la tho hands of private owners, where i tho old highway, tho wagon road, as in tho hands of tho state The nauagement of the now highway, the nilroad, or rather of tho intricato web of railroad linos which cover tho coun- try, 1b a task Infinitely moro difficult, moro dollcato, andi moro Important than i. nrimiik'iv Miitv task of acauiring or koopftg in order tho old highway; so that thero is propony no nmuutf nhnlnvnr botweon tho two CaSOS. I do not boliovo in government ownorshlp of anything which can with propnoty bo loft In prlvato hands, and; In partic ular I should mosb stronuously objoot to trovernmont ownership of inilroads. Bub I boliovo with equal flrmnoss that it is out of tho question for tno gov ernment not to exorciso a supervisory and regulatory right over the railroads; for H is vital to tho wcll-bolpg of tho public that thoy should bo managed In a spirit of falrnesa and justice townrd all tho public. Actual oxporionco has shown that It is not posslblo to leavo tho railroads uncontrolled, bucn a system, or xathor a lack of system, la fortllo in abuses of every ktnu awl puts a premium upon unscrupulous ami ruthless cunning in railroad manage ment for there nro florao big Bhlppera and somo railroad managora who aro always willing to tako unfair advantago of their woakor competitors, ana tnoy thorobv forco other big shippora nnu Ug railroad men who would llko to do docontly Into similar uots of wrong and inlustjco, undor penalty of bolng ion fbohlnd In tho raco for success. Gov urnmont supervision is nooded quite as much In tho Interest of tho big shipper and of tho railroad man who want to do right aa In tho intorost of tho small shipper and tho consumer. Bxporlcs'io has Bhown that tho pres ent laws are dofectivo and noed amond moot. Tho offort to prohibit nil ro stralnt of competition, whether reason ablo or unreasonable, is unwiso. Wlint. wo need in to liavo somo administrative bodv with amnio power to forbid com bination that Is hurtful to tho public, and to provont favoritism tq ono indi vidual at tho ozpenso of another. In other words, wo want an administrative body with tho power to securo fair and just treatinont as among all shippors Who uso tho railroads and all shippers Special Sale On Iron Beds TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH ONE DAY ONLY X have 45 Iron Beds on the floor which, will be marked In plain figures AT 008T. Furch&so bill open for Inspection for thosa who desire to Investigate. Having sold" over carload of beds thia summer, I desire to give my pat rons "benefit on TtIS SAY, and attho same time clear tho floor for a new stock, which will arrivo in a few days. These beds are made of MALABLB XBOX, and aro aUAUANTEED AGAINST BBEAKAOE. My $18.00 beds will bo sold for f 14.00. My cheapest bed, with 13.00 wire spring, will be sold for $3,95. hrvo a Tight to uso them, wo must not loavo tho onforcomont of such a. law merely to tho dopartmont of justlcoj dt Is ou of tho question for the law d1 partmont of tho govornmont to do whnt should bo purely administrative work. Tho !opartmont of justlco is to stand bohind and co-operato with tho admin istrative body, but tho n'dmlnistratlvo body Itsolf must 'be given tho power to do tho work and thon hold to a strlot accountability for tho exorciso of that powor. Tho dolays of tho law nro proverbial, nnd what wo nood in thiH matter is reasonnblo quickness, of action. Tlio abuses of which wo havo a, gen uino right to complain take mauy shapes. Bbatcs a'o not now ofton given openly. Iiuf. thoy can bo glvon just as cffoctlvoly'ln covert-fojm; and prlvato cars, terminal tracks and tho like must bo brought under tho con trol of tho commission' or administra tive body, which is to exercise super vision by tho government. But. in mj' judgmont the most important thing to do is to glvo to this ndminlBtratlvo body power to mnko Its findings effec tive, and this can be done only by glv to rallroadb that Is now oxorclsodl as a mattor of course by tho national bank examiners as regards national banks. My object In giving theso additional powers to tho administrative body rep resenting tho govornmont thelntorstato commerco commission, or whatover it may be la primarily to socuro a roal nnd not a sham control of tho govern ment roprosontativos. Tho Amorlcan pcoplo abhor a sham, and with this abhorrence I cordially sympathlzo. Nothing Is moro injurious from overy standpoint than a law which is merely sound and fury, mcroly protonso, and not capablo of working out tangiblo results. I hope to soo all tho power that I think it ought to havo grunted to tho government) but I would far nitlior boo only somo of It granted, but really grantod, than soo a protenso of granting all, in some shapo that really amounts to nothing. " It must bo understood, as a matter of course, that if this power is granted it la to be exercised) with wisdom and cau tion and) solf-restralnt, Tho interstate commerce commissioner or other gov ernment official who failed to protect a railroad that was in tho right against any clamor, no mattor how vlolont, on ing it power, when complaint Is mado tho part o tbe pubHo wuW hQ my Remember the date-Tuesday, Oct. 24-One Day Only I fl IACQF THE COMPLETE L V.

I earnestly hope that wo shall boo a law giving this powor passed by congress. Moreover, I hope that by Jaw power will bo con ferred) upon representatives of tho government capable of performing tho duty of publio accountants carefully to examine into the books of railroads, when so ordered by the Interstate Com merce Comaris&lon, which should itself have power to prescribe what books, end what books only, should bo kept by railroads. If there Is in the minds of the commission any suspicion that a certain railroad Is In any shape or way giving rebatos or behaving improp erly. I wish the commission to bave nn.m. . .!. .I.Lk u.t .. - . 1 1 matter of favor, to make a full and exhaustive Investigation of the receipts and expenditures of the railroad, so I that anji violation or evasion of the law may bo dotected. This Is not a revolu tionary proposal on my part, for I only wish the tamo power given in reference of us gross a wrong as If ho corruptly rendered an improper servico to tho railroad at tho oxponso Of Jho public.
