You may think
jour salesmen sell goods for you.
If you send men out on the
road to sell your goods and they
send in fat orders with delight
ful frequency, you think they
are fine salesmen.
No merchant -will buy stuff
that piles up on his shelves.
Strenuous efforts may induce
liira to place a small trial order,
out that will be all. If the pub
lic insists on having the goods,
the merchant will order only too
gladly, and true salesmanship
consists in creating a public de
mand interesting the consumer
and not in urging and arguing
and coaxing the dealer.
if your eoods are what they
ought to be, and you ach-ertise
them in the right way, 3'our en
tire business machine will move
much easier and with far less
lubrication.

RAILROADS
HOUSE IS DIVIDED
ON DATE MEASURE
President Roosevelt's Reconiinen
dntions Regarding Railroads
Meet Much Opposition.
CAUSE LOCAL COMMENT.
Uflieved Congress Will lie Urged
to Vest More Power in Inter
state Commission Chief
Executives Confer.
The Republic Bureau.
14th St. and Pennsylvania Ae.
Washington. Dec 7. President Roose
velt's recommendation." on rebates and
regulation of freight rates are attracting
much attention among members of Con
greys. For ten years prior to 1K7 the In
terstate Commerce Commission exercised
the powers with which Mr. Roosevelt
would now clotho It. The Supreme Court
then prevented the exercise of such pow
ers and left It emasculated.
In taking his stand the President has
not been more conservative than many of
the advocates of freight-rate control would
have had him. Governors Cummins. Van
Sant and I.a Follette and many of the
men prominent In the Interstate Com
merce Law Convention recently held at
St. Louis would sanction more radical
steps, though they wfll be fairly well sat
Ilied If the President's recommendations
are carried out.
The likelihood of the passage of the
Cooper-Quarles bill, which Is now pending
and which embodies the President's ideas,
though Introduced last winter, is remote.
The advocatts of It are confident it will
at least go through at the long session.
Stronc obiection is already being made
by the railroad IntereMp and opponents of
Government regulation of rates that the
bill will make It possible for the commis
sion to fix a rate not a living rate, and
then. In case a rate is found too low in
the courts, the railroad affected will have
no chance of recovering the loss sus
tained In the interim, while the rate is in
controversy.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
who Is one of the authors of the pending
measure, said:
"There is a strong feeling that unless
the Government docs exercise some con
trol over freight rates, the agitation for
Government ownership of railroads will
assume the most serious proportions. Un
doubtedly It 1 the part of wisdom to pro
vide for proper control, rather than fur
ther arouse the cry for Government own
ership by unjust and unchecked discrim
inations in rates."
Jlr. Cooper said he was hopeful of the
passing of the bill at this session, though
much would depend on the House and
Senate committees.
On the other hand Chairman Hepburn
of the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Is against the bill and
Till! do ail he can to kill it.
MESSAGE CAUSES
MUCH LOCAL COMMENT.
Not only In local railroad circles, but on
tho floor of the exchange, was there am
ple evidence yesterday that the sections
of President Roosevelt's message to Con
gress regarding certain railroad reforms
are considered of considerable significance.
Marked activity In railroad securities
with a decided tendency to a slump was
the feature of the market.
It Is believed that not only will strong
pressure be brought upon Congress to re
vise the Interstate commerce act. In order
that the Interstate Commerce Commission
may have the power of establishing and
putting into effect a rate, but that laws
may be enacted compelling the railroads
to Install safety appliances not only on
their lines, but on their cars, which will
mean the expenditure of vast sums here
tofore going to the stockholders.
Regarding the President's statement
that rebates should be stopped, traffic offi
cials express themselves as perfectly will
ing to do all in their power to aid In this
reform, but all agree In saying that while
the prosecution of a company giving re
bates is always willingly undertaken if
the offense can be proven, the great diffi
culty Is to fasten the offense upon the
guilty party.
In nnswer to the President's statement
that better protection should be afforded
the public, operating officials say that ir
the President or anyone else can devise
means by which the safety of passengers
and property can be more insured It will
be adopted Irrespective of costs, but that
practically all of the safety precautions
have glaring faults which cannot be cor
rected, and in many instances it has been
deemed advisable to test certain appliances
thoroughly before putting them In at a
great cost.
Attention Is called to the-fact that this
year many accidents have occurred on
lines controlled by the block signal sys
tem, proving conclusively that It is by no
means Infallible.
The financial and executive heads of
many of the great systems are In New
York or Chicago in conference, and it is
believed that the chief topic of these con
ferences yesterday was the practical cer
tainty of Congress ultimately giving more
power to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and passing laws compelling the
railroads to make heavy expenditures for
safety equipment.
At present the Interstate Commission can
only say that a rate Is unfair, but has no
authority to order it to be changed.
But with the power to order the change
of a rate and. subject to the concurrence
of a court, to enforce the order, the Inter
state Commission becomes a body of no
mean magnitude.

the freight traffic has been resumed. From
,200 to 300 cars of freight are transferred
at Felton yards, a mile east of here, from
one road to the other, and an increase is
looked for. The new arrangement will ne
cessitate the return of a number of freight
crews to this point.
The trouble between the two roads over
the Joint freight business has given rise
to the report that the Burlington will con
nect Us lines between this city and Macon
or "Brookfield; in fact. It is understood
that the survey of one or both routes has
been ordered at once. Macon is about forty-live
miles distant, and Hrookfield about
seventy. Many indications are pointed out
supporting the supposition that the Bur
lington contemplates connecting Its lines,
chief among them that the Alton Is sup
posed to be under the control of the Rock
Island, a bitter rival of the Burlington.
BILL OF LADING HEARING
CONTINUED TO DECEMBER 15.
Inlerstnte Commerce Commission to

.cxt Thursday.
Chicago, Dec. ".The hearing of the
question of the railroads placing in opera
tion a new "uniform bill of lading"
against which thousands of shippers are
complaining has been continued until next
Thursday. December 13. at Washington,
by the members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The continuation was
announced afler three dajs of sensational
testimony tilts between counsels for the
opposing sides and pertinent remarks by
members of the commission.
hen the hearing is resumed it is said
that the railroad companies against which
the investigation has been directed, will
introduce rebuttal testimony In an en
deavor to prove that there Is no desire
on their part to impose the so-called 20-Pcr-cent
increase under common law lia
bility service of the common carrier.
? e mp''u''nie Commissioners Prouty
and FIfer will remain in Chicago and hear
testimony in connection with the protest
i. the Texas cattle raisers against the
rates charged them In shipping live stock.
Commissioner Prouty heard testimony in
this case to-day.

freightage much farther than the scope
or the investigation now being considered
by the commission. This announcement
was made by George H. Holt, president
of the American Lumber Company, rep
resenting thousands of lumbermen who
ship throughout the United States.
One of the most Important points
brought out at to-daj's hearing was that
if the 20-per-cent Increase, the carrier as
suming the responsibility for damages,
was put in force by the railroads, it would
Hventually fall back on the consumer to
pay the increase, he being called to pay
an equal sum for food or material pur
chased. This point was brought out by
A. A. Sprague of Sprague, Warner & Co.,
and other witnesses.
Commissioner Clements, who acted as
chairman of the commission in the ab
sence of Chairman Martin A. Knapp, sug
gested to the attorneys present for the
railroads that they make an effort to have

as based on Information:

uatlonr One of the leading railroad men
of the country, who was at the dinner

"The proposition to let the Interstate

preposterous. After two or three years of

so fixed upset in court as too low, but It
could never get back the money lost while

ROLL CALL SHOWS
MDRD
Mariani, Who Escaped Saturday,
Left Vehind, and Will Be
Sent With Visayans.
HAVE SPECTACULAR PARADE.
Datto Facundo Only One Without
Luggage, Every One of the
Other Natives Being His
Own Expressman.
When the wild Filipino tribes left St.
Louis last evening roll call showed that
there was one Moro missing.
Instead of 152, for which the necessary
transportation and accommodations had
been arranged by the Philippine Exposi
tion Board, there were only 131.
Mariani, a 19-year-old Moro boy, did not
answer to roll call, and the train left
Union Station minus one of the party who
came last spring to the World's Fair from
Mindanao Isle.
Mariani, with two other Moro bojs. es
caped from the village last Saturday
night, and while his two companions re
turned In time to depart with the party,
he did not put in his appearance.
A diligent search was, instituted for
Mariani by the officials of. the Exposition
Board, but It availed nothing.
"When he gets hungry," said A. I.
Lawshe, chairman of the board, jester
day, in speaking of the missing boy, "I
think he will be glad to return, as his
two companions did. He will be kept at
the reservation, and when VIsayans re
turn home on January 1 Mariani will be
sent with them."
To prevent any tribal insurrection on
their trip to the coast by being compelled
to associate with one another in the same
car. a special train carried the party,
with a separate car for each tribe.
The party included thirty-six Samal Mo
res, forty Lanao Moros. thirty Bagobos,
five Mangvians and forty Negritos.
Accompanying the party were Frederic
Lewis, Ralph McFle, Ralph Hopping and
Valentine Semilla Tuevarra.
The ride from tho World's Fair to the
Union Station was one of the most spec
tacular processions that have ever been
seen In St. Louis.
Aifhough exrress wagons were put at
their disposal, every native insisted on
being his own expressman. The women
bore huge bundles on their heads, while
the little children, who hate received
much attention .this summer, fairly wad
dled under big bundles containing all sorts
of American trinkets and playthings
which have been showered upon them
while at the World's Fair.
Datto Facundo, chief Datto of the Mo
ros, was one of the few who absented him
self from any luggage. His manner was
dignified and his clothes American.
He wore a dark suit of coat and trousers
and bluo flannel shirt, with white canvas
shoes and a, bright red fez wrapped around
his head. Two large button photographs of
President Roosevelt and President Fran
cis, suspended by streamers of red and
white ribbon, decorated the front of his
coat.
Mllo, one of the young men, wore a dis
carded khaki suit of some soldier and car
ried a policeman's club. He constituted
himself special escort for Pedro, one of
the trio who escaped from the village
with Mariani.
Herbert S. Stone, a member of the Phil
ippine Exposition Board, and Mr. Lawshe
Jr. escorted the party to the station.
W. H. THOMPSON IS BETTER.

Whether they had a close escape from
