Rail and Water
Hauls Present
Traffic Puzzle
Cleveland A. Newton Asks
Railroads to Tote Fair
With Farmers of the
Middle West.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 20.—Railroad
and water projects as a whole must
be developed to their full extent if
transportation systems of the coun
try are to keep pace with the rapid
development of industry, Congress
man Cleveland A. Newton of St.
Lduis, a member of the rivers and
harbors committee of the house of
representatives and a director of the
national rivers and harbors congress,
said in a statement issued here.
“The thing that we ought to do in
this country is to complete some of
the water projects we have adopted,
an'd the thing that the railroads ought
to do is to stop their fictitious fight
against the water ways,” Congress
man Newton asserted. "I think most
of them recognize the fact that such
a course would best subserve their
interests.”
Congressman Newton is an advo
cate of the Gooding bill (senate bill
2327), which passed the senate in tho
spring, 54 to 23, and will be before
the house in December, prohibiting
railroads from charging less for a
long haul than for a short haul for
the purpose of meeting water com
petition of river or coastwise boats.
“We need for the country ail the
transportation facilities we can get,"
he said. "We need our railways, our
waterways ami our highways, and
they ought to be co-operating with
each other. In addition to that, they
ought to be co-ordinated, and the rail
ways of the country ought to con
cede that they cannot carry freight
as cheaply as’the water. Then peo
ple of the country will he willing to
deal justly with them.
Railroads Should He fair.
"We ought not to carry on a cam
paign to destroy the railroads, but
the railroads ought to he fair with
the waterways and the waterways
ought to be given a chance to live.
“We have expended $174,000,000
upon the rivers of the Mississippi val
ley and we can't successfully navi
gate them because we haven't ex
pended $70,000,000 more to complete
them. Those who believe railroads
should he our only vehicles of com
merce contend that this Is a large
sum. Rail men tell us that the rail
roads spent a billion dollars last year.
That Is all right If it was economi
cally expended. They tell us that the
rivers are Improved at public expense,
while the railroads must make their
own investments. The United States
treasury does not get a dollar except
that which is contributed by people
of this country, and neither do the
railroads get a dollar Into their treas
uries except what is paid by the ship
pers and the people of the whole
country.
“Instead of carrying on this con
troversy, the railroads should get
down to business and live up to the
provisions of the Esch-Cummins act.
If $iey would enjoy the blessings of
that law, they must hear its burdens
with equal good faith. They, must
not undertake to claim protection un
der the revenue-yielding sections of
the law and at the same time ignore
the section of the law in which con
gress has declared the nation s policy
•to promote, encourage and develop
water transportation service and
facilities in connection with the com
merce of the United States, and to
foster and preserve in full vigor both
rail and water transportation.’
“Railroads cannot claim to be liv
ing up to provisions of this section of
the transportation act so long as they
make cut-throat rates between water
points and refuse to make a fair divi
sion of freight collected on a joint
water and-rail haul.
Cut Out the Kctinn.
“The railroads are in a better con
dition today under provisions of the
Esch-f’ummtns law than they have
been for a century. 1 think that law
ought to remain on the statute books,
and it will remain (here unless do
: stroyed by the railroads themselves
In the fictitious rates they are mak
ing all over the country. I am not
against the railroads. In the past
they haven't been given a square
deal, and they ought to he given
rates which would enable them to
pay their expenses, make necessary
improvements and declare a dividend
to stockholders.
“But if the railroads can afford to
carry freight 1,600 from Portland,
Me., where there are ships, to New
Orleans for $2.26, then they can afford
to make a better rate than $2.24%
for carrying freight SOO miles from
Kansas City, where there are no
ships, to New Orleans.
“We ought * have a consistent
policy. 1 i! 1 no whether it is
railways, wut* rw..ys or highways, wc
ought to deal fairly with them and
we ought to compel each of them to
deal fairly with the country. When
we are appropriating hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to build up a mer
chant marine we ought not let the
railroads carry freight between water
points at less than cost, nnd then
penalize the Interior of the country
to make up that loss.’’

WHEELER TALK
Aboard Wheeler Special, En Route
to Oklahoma City. Oct. 20.—Speaking
at Enid, Okla., today Senator Burton
K. Wheeler, independent vice presl
dential candidate, ran into persistent
heckling which at times checked his
speech.
"You didn't convict Daugherty," a
man yelled at the candidate during
his repitition of charges of corruption
aimed at the former attorney general.
"No," said Senator Wheeler, "and
I’ll tell you why we didn’t. It wn^
because your silent friend in the
White House stood back of Daugh
erty. That’s what we are here to
tell you about today."
DeLamatre Back
From Dawes Trip
Ornalian Returns From Tour
With Candidate and Visit
at Home,
One of the most enjoyable experi
ences in the life of C. W. DeLamatre,
Omaha attorney, was a campaign trip
from this city to Cincinnati with
Charles G. Dawes, followed by several
days’ visit at the Dawes home in
Evanston.
Mr. DeLamatre left Omaha on the
Dawes train on Saturday morning,
October 11, stopping at Topeka, Kut
Poria, Wichita, St. Louis, Louisville,
Shelbyville, Frankfort, Lexington,
Covington and Cincinnati, In addition
to many Intermediate short stops.
During the Dawes meeting here In
the Auditorium on Friday night, Oc
tober 10, DeLamatre sat beside Dawes
and was referred to by the vice presi
dential candidate in his foreword.
These men attended law school to
gether in Cincinnati about 40 years
ago and have been friends ever since.
DeLamatre came to Omaha during
November, 1886, and Dawes came here
during April, 1887, expecting to locate
In the Gate City of the West, but his
cousin, then Governor Dawes of Ne
braska, Induced him to go to Lincoln.
"The most inspiring event of our
trip,” related DeLamatre, speaking of
his journey with the Dawes train,
"was our stop at Topeka, where we
heard ’America’ on a pipe organ as
we entered the hall. The large audi
ence sang this national hymn amid
the flutter of many flags.
“I make no claim to being a po
litical prophet,” added DeLamatre,
"but I really believe that Coolldge
and Dawes will carry Kansas, Mis
souri and Kentucky. I am Just speak
ing now of those three states."

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
Makes One Look Twenty Years
Younger.
Men and women who used to bo
railed Grandpa and Grandma are now
setting the styles by darkening their
gray hair with a simple home mix
ture.
For instance, J. A. McCrea, a well
known Californian, recently made the
following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture in five minutes, that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. Merely take a half pint of
water, add 1 ounce of bay rum, n
small box of Barbo Compound, *4 oz.
of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at trifling cost. Ap
ply to the hair twice weekly’ with
comb. It does not color the scalp, is
not sticky or greasy and will not rub
off.”
One bottle of PYROS
(front your druggist) will
convince you, as it has
thousands of others, that
it completely heals—

Baptist Outlines Duties of
Cloth: World Viewpoint
Urged.
Duty of the minister of today is to
make bigger Christians by giving them
an international viewpoint that will
make the individual task more real,
declared P. H. J. Lerrigo, home secre
tary of the American Baptist Foreign
Missionary society in an address be
fore the Omaha Ministerial union
Monday morning at the Y. M. C. A.
“There are mere babies in the life
of the church," said the speaker,
there are mny defectives In the life
of the church. The ministers must
realize that this first leaning toward
the church is an opportunity to turn
that meager contact into a great
broad understanding. There is
breadth of soul of today. War lias
helped us get In closer and better
touch with international events. Be
fore that we lived, more or less in a
little round of life, a vicious circle.
Get the money, buy more food, do
more work, was the life of the aver
age man.
“The church is concerned with pre
paring the heart and soul of this new
world, the kernel of the problem lies
in the minister's hand. There is need
for preparation of a new soul for a
new day. The great clouds of today
are the disintegrating forces since the ■
world war and race consciousness.”
Motion of approval ion the bond is
sue of the Omaha public library was
passed by the ministerial body. The
ministers present were asked by Rev.
O. D. Baltzly of Kountze Memorial
Lutheran church, to make announce
ment of the bond issue In the coming
election, from their pulpits.

Chicago. Oct. 20.—Many of the con

the Sherman act against some 50 oil
companies expired long before the suit
was tiled, the Standard OH Company
of Indiana set up today In Its answer.
The Texas company recently tiled u!
general denial of the charges.
The licensing of one company to
use the licenses of another was the
result of many patents, some of which
overlapped others so that some of the
companies were threatening each oth
er wdth Infringement suits, according
to the answrer. To ohviate this situn
tlon, the answer set forth, it was
agreed to ndjust these controversies
for use of •'cracking'' patents by
licensing the companies. These so
called pooling agreements were not
combinations in restraint of trade or
commerce among the states or for
eign nations, as charged by the gov
ernment, the answer asserted.
