THE PRIMARY PLEDGE
I promise to attend all the primaries of my party to be held between
now and the next Democratic National Convention, unless unavoidably
prevented, and to use my influence to secure a clear, honest and
straightforward declaration of the party's position on every question
upon which the voters of the party desire to speak.
Signed.

WASHINGTON NEWS
George B. Cortelyou has resigned
as chairman of the republican na
tional committee. Harry S. New of
Minneapolis is the acting chairman.
Grave charges are to be preferred
against the Dawes commission by the
select committee of the senate which
is investigating the affairs in the In
dian Territory.
Senator Daniel, speaking in the sen
ate on the Foraker resolution relat
ing to the negro troops, ridiculed the
suggestion which he said had been
mysteriously hinted at that the people
of Brownville "shot up" their own
town, in order to bring reproach on
the negro soldiers.
Representative Murphy of Missouri
.Introduced a resolution providing for
an investigation to find out why in
the matter of the arrest of the Balti
more & Ohio railroad officials and
employes, because of therecent wreck
near Washington, the employes were
arrested immediately and taken to
jail, while the officials were merely
notified of the verdict of the coroner's
jury.
By a vote of seventy to one the sen
ate passed Senator LaFollette's bill
providing that railway employes en
gaged in handling trains shall' not
work more than sixteen consecutive
hours, which period is to be followed
by ten hours off duty. Senator Pet
tus of Alabama cast the one negative
vote. The text of the bill follows:
"Be it enacted, etc.: That it shall
be unlawful for any common carrier
by railroad in any territory of the
"United States or the District of Co
lumbia or any of its officers or agents,
or any common carrier engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce by
railroad or any of its officers, or
agents, to require or permit any em-
Failure
to cure indigestion is largely duo to the old
theory that when the stomach becomes inac
tive it needs something to mechanically digest
Its contents, and cathartics, purgatives, etc.,
are used, which give only temporary relief,
because they digest by irritating the lining of
the stomach.
Modern science recognizes the fact that it is
the nerves that furnish motive power to di
gest the contents of the stomach.
The nerves agitate and mix the food, and
stimulate the secretions. When they become
wdakened they lack energy, and indigestion,
dyspepsia, sour stomach result,

ploye engaged in or connected with
the management of any train carry
ing interstate or foreign freight or
passengers to remain on duty more
than sixteen consecutive hours, ex
cept when by casualty occurring after
such employe has started on his trip,
and except when by accident or un
expected delay of trains scheduled to
make connections with the train on
which such employe is serving, he
is prevented from reaching his ter
minal; or to require or permit any
such employe who has been on duty
sixteen consecutive hours to go on
duty without having had at least ten
hours off duty; or to require or per
mit any such employe who has been
on duty sixteen hours in the aggre
gate in any twenty-four hour period
to continue on duty or to go on duty
without haying had at least eight
hours off duty within such twenty-four
hour period.
"Section 2 That any such common
carrier or any of its officers or agents
violating any of the provisions of this
act is hereby declared to be guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine of
not less than $100 nor more than $1,000
and it shall also be the duty of the
interstate commerce commission to
fully investigate all cases of the vio
lation of this act and to lodge with
the proper district attorneys informa
tion of such violations as may come
to its knowledge.
"Section 3 That to enable the com
mission to execute and enforce the
provisions of this act, it shall have
the power to employ such inspectors
or other persons as may be neces
sary, to enforce the provisions of this
act, the commission and its agents and
its employes thereunto duly author
ized by order of said commission shall
have the power to administer oaths,
interrogate witnesses, take testimony
and require the production of books
and papers. The commission may
also order depositions taken before
any officer in any state or territory of
the United States or the District of
Columbia, qualified by law to take the
same.
"The provisions of this act shall not
apply to relief or wreck trains."
The bill making appropriations for
the legislative, executive and judicial
expenses of the government was re
ported to the senate. It carries $30,
855,834, a net increase of $225,450
over the amount as passed by the
house.
All propositions for raising the sal
aries of members of congress and
members of the cabinet, including
the provisions inserted by the house
increasing the pay of cabinet mem
bers, the vice president and speaker
of the house to $12,000 a year, were
rejected. It is expected, however,
that an amendment will be offered on
the floor of the senate to restore these
items and also raise the salaries of
members of congress.
