ests of the entire country , represented
by a committee specially appointed at
a general conference of shippers held
recently in Chicago , decided at a
meeting hero to ask the ( presidents of
easlein railroads to meet them to dis
cuss the proposed increase In freight
rates. It was the opinion of the com-
mitteenien that before beginning a
fight against the Increase it would bo
wise to bring about such a meeting
with the railroad ollicials , if possible
at the same tlmo asking them to put
no advances into effect until after the
conlorenco had been held. W. C
Brown , senior vice president of the.

CINCINNATI SHIPPERS WANT
LINES CITED FOR CONTEMPT.
DENY ANY POLITICS IN MOVE
Ask Chief Executive to Enforce De
cree Against Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island Chlcncjo Shippers Seek
Another Conference.
Cincinnati , July 25. Brushing aside
ul ! Intermediate processes and modes
ol action , the lloce > lvers' and Shippers'
association of Cincinnati bus cariled
Its war against a general Increase in
iiillvtiiy freight rates directly to the
ptt'stdout of thu United States. In
general effect , a communication tor-
warded to President Hoosevell asks
the chief executive whether or not ho
Intends to enforce a decree Issued
boiiie years ago against certain rail
roads. If so , he Is asked to at once
caiibu the attorney general to bring
proceedings for contempt against thu
Missouri Pacific railway and the Chicago
cage , Hock island and I'acillc rail-
load. Denying that politics had any
thing to do with the letter at this
time , it is explained that because of
the tact that certain general increases
In freight rates are to become effec
tive Aug. 1 by certain roads , piompt
and positive action became necessary.
In conclusion , the letter says : "This
association stands for a square deal
for common carriers , ft believes
that their property rights should be
protected the same as the property
rights of Individuals , but we are un
alterably opposed to any policy of the
carriers which has /'or / its purpose the
ignoring of our courts and the placing
of themselves above thu laws of the
land. | f they expect the protection of
the laws and the courts they must
show a wholesome regard for the law
and respect the decrees of the courts ,
If the Missouri Pacific and Kock Isl
and deliberately Ignore this solemn
mandate of the courts and continue in
an unlawful manner to burden trade
and commerce among the states by
continually increasing rates , the ejues
tion arises :
" 'Is there no power In this land
sufficiently strong to reach railroad
companies that recklessly brush aside
the decrees of our courts ? '
"This association believes you will
in the carrying out of your policy foi
the strict enforcement of the law ser
to It that those two railroad compi
nies are obliged In the future to oo-
serve this decree. "

"The president has dtri'cled the at

the case , except insofar as the size of

utely no question of the guilt of the

The Way of Womankind.
Women are indefatigable in their
analysis of conduct. A man accepts
a white ray of light for what it is ; a
woman passes it through a prism and
resolves It Into its component rays. If
I pass Mrs. A. In the street without
saluting her she conjectures a dozen
painful motives to account for my ab-

The meaning of the word "swastika"
is "It Is well , " or good luck. The meanIng -
Ing of the symbol is more complex.
Some folks trace it to the sun.
"Thu emblem is the sun In motion , "

wheel with spokes was actually re
placed by what we now call swastika.
The swastika is , In fact , an abbreviat
