DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT? The railroad magnates of the country, although they may differ radically on matters of internal policy, seem to be a unit on one thing and that la that President Roosevelt's suggestion that the governments appraisement of the physical property of the railroads should bo mad'; the basis of rates, is in-
feasiblo and absurd. Tho Chicago Ex-cord Herald has been conducting a symposium based on the doctrine enunciated in President Roosevelt's Indianapolis speech and has secured "signed statements" from such geniuses of finance and transportation as E. If. Harrlman, Stuyvesant Fish, J. T. Ilarahan. E. P. Ripley, Howard Elliot, F. A. Delano, Fj D. Underwood, H. M. Felton, L. E. Johnson and others with whose titles and Importance In the railroad world even the casual reader is familiar. Those men do not "like each other" In a concrete sense. They have very little in common when It comes to the management of large railroad properties. There Is little love lost between any two of them. It requires quite a stretch of Imagination to put any two of them on a common platform. But they agreo on this: The gentleman of Washington and Oyster Bay doesn't know what he Is talking about In this particular Instance. Stuyvesant Fish, who was deposed from the presidency of the Illinois Central, voices the sentiment even of those who assisted In deposing him in the following letter which may serve as a consensus of opinion. "Much has been raid of late of a prosed valuation of the railroads, although it Is admitted on all hands that the capitalization of railroads ha3, and can have, no bearing whatever on the rates charged. Moreover in whatever manner a valuation may bo made, it must in greater or less degree be based on earning power, which In turn rests on the rates charged. Hence the prediction of rates on a valuation would merely be working around in a circle. "There ara vast difference in the capitalization of the four great trunk lines between Chicago and New York, namely the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Erie and the Baltimore & Ohio. The first two have paid dividends on Its common stock, and yet the rates of freight charged on all four to common points have been and are identical. "Such valuation while costly and of necessity Inquisitorial, can result In little but a redemonstration of the fact that our railroads are undercapitalized, for the bureau of the census has already computed the commercial value of railway operating property In the United States for the year 1904 at $11,244,832,000, while the report of the Interstate commerce commission shows the amount of railroad stocks and bonds not owned by railway corporations In 1904 to have been $5,585,467,711."
j WITH THE EDITORS
The South on Bryan. We yield to nona in admiration of Mr. Bryan as an orator and a statesman; but the consensus of opinion among tho dispassionate Is that he can never be elected. Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan has a craze in his favor. The same spirit that prevailed in the Middle Ages during the "Dancing Mania" seems to be abroad in the twentieth century. The democratic hysteria attaches Itself to Bryan just as the republican hysteria attaches itself to Roosevelt. But do the people want either? Why not get back to the simple life? This country is badly In need of a statesman of the Cleveland or Tilden order. We need a statesman, not simply a man who will start something, whether there is anything to be started or not. Mr. Bryan is always a doubtful
proposition. Not that he is not personally a man of exalted character and one who is thoroughly honest, but he is too evanescent, too shifting. It does not seem probable that a majority of tha America!! people will ever elect him president; and fo under the circumstances he ought to drop out and irlve the other fellows a clear field.

The Suburban handicap, one of the great classics of this country, will be decided Thursday and ia attracting the attention of the pony followers the country over.

this event alone and trim off the horses who have been at their best months before. Superman carries 106 pounds and with this light weight should have no difficulty in winning. His stablemate,

Both the little fellows wanted to show that they could use their bats and pounded out two hits apiece.

Indianapolis, June 17. The state wen an important point in its suit
against J. Oscar Henderson, ex-auditor
of state, before Judge Vinson Carter, of the superior court, when Judge Carter overruled Henderson's demurrer to the first paragraph of the state's complaint Tho suit Is to recover $120,000, which Henderson is alleged to have retained as commission on the collection of about $l.200.0uO Insurance taxes during his terms of otiice.
Decision of the Supreme Court. When the action was originally filed Henderson answered it by the avermeut that he had the power to make Insurance tax collections by statute, and that thestatute gave him the right to retain 10 per cent of the fees so collected as perquisites of his office. Before the question had been adjudicated the supreme court held that David E. Sherrick, ex-auditor of state, who was sent to prison for the alleged embezzlement of state funds, had no right to collect Insurance taxes
as auditor of state, and that taxes so
( collected by him remained the property
f the Insurance companies until they
were receipted for by the treasurer of
state.
Changes His Defense to Suit. Immediately after this decision Hen
derson changed his defense and de
murred to the first paragraph of the
state's complaint which seeks to col
lect about $r.0,000 of the alleged Illegul
fees gaid to have beenretained by him.
on the ground that the allegations of
the paragraph were not sufficient to
constitute a cause for action.
Didn't Work in This Case.
It was pointed out by his attorneys
that the supreme court had held that
the auditor of state was not the proper
person to receive and receipt for insurance taxes, and that if any right of
action lay against Henderson it was
by way of the insurance companies who had paid their taxes to him and not on the part of the state. It was
this demurrer which Judge Carter
overruled.

The first effect of cold on tie skin, is to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are res
sels that take blood from the heart Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart and the connecting ves
sels are called capillaries. While these little vessels are contracting the skin Itself becomes tenser. In a few mo
ments or minutes the effects change
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the ves
sels dilate so the skin gets red. Soon the veins are dilated, and the skin becomes bluish. Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin (the lymph) is coagulated,
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold is more severe its action is deeper, and the blood Itself may be coagulated. This is frostbite.

HERBERT 6. n AD LET. The attorneys for the state made the general contention thut the injunction secured here and at St Ixnils compelling the railroad official to obey the laws was a regular and proper proceeding, and that the amended petition filed by the railways in the maximum rate case, wiiich was made also to include the 2-cent case, was a separate and distinct question, calling for separate 6Uit3. Decision Is Promised Today.
The railway attorneys, on the othef hand, declared that the federal court not only had jurisdiction but that, It was its duty to protect the railway by permitting them to file their amended petition asking for nn injunction to restrain the state officials from enforcing these acts. Judge Smith McPherEon, who heard the arguments, finally continued the cases until this afternoon, at which time he promised to render his decision. In the interim
the railways will continue to operate under the old laws, Ignoring the state
