j |he shortage in steel rails.
I (Never before tn the history of the
j jkuntry have railroads been so active
| i extending their lines and Improving
" leir present facilities. This activity,
hlch was thought to havo reached its
Umax last summer, seems to continue
j nabated. Estimates made at. the be-
knning of the present year have fallen
ar short of the actual demands for
, jteel rails which the roads have made
ipon the various mills. With all the
iteel rail mills running at their utmost
capacity, the demand far exceeds the
; ppply.
j As a result, our country is Importing
\ fcteel rails from abroad in vast quan-
tities. This is something unusual.
Two years ago American rails were
connecting historic towns throughout
Europe and spanning the plains In old
Asiastic countries. Now this Is all
changed; It. is America that needs the
rails and the home consumption is so
large that German and English mills
are kept pushed supplying the demand.

It is a healthy sign when some or
the Republican papers of Influence
turn the lime light on that mare s
nest of the government—the pension
department.
The Kansas City Journal is just
now engaged in showing up some of
the most glaring Instances of private
pension fraud lately exposed. It takes
the following special pension bill, now
in the hands of the senate committee
on pensions, with every prospect, it is
said, that It will be reported favorably,
as an example of the frau 1 that honey-
combs the country's pension system:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assembl-
That the secretary of the interior
and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to place on the pension roll
subject to the provisions and limita-
tions of the pension laws, the name of
Martin O'Connor, late of Troop H.
Second United States cavalry, and
sergeant, general service, I'nited
States army, and pay him a pension
at the rate of $72 per month, in lien
of that he is now receiving.
This bill Is not unlike thousands of
others that go through the congres-
sional pension hopper simply because
they bear the committee's pertunctory
"O. K." It happened that an old un-
ion soldier who read of the introduc-
tion of the bill knew the beneficiary
thereof, and knowing him to be un-
worthy, wrote to one of the bureaus
of the interior department as follows:
This applicant for congressional
pension is a clerk in the treasury de-
partment at a salary of $1,200 a year
In the first session of the present con-
gress 1. ■ was given a pension of $50
a rponth. He found it so easy that he
now asks $72 a month for blindness.
This blind clerk has eyesight enough'
to fill a clerical position under the gov-
ernment. Congres it is that is blind
—blind as a bat—and the fraud is not
O'Conn- r's. but the senators' and rep-
resentatives' who enact such thieving
legislation.
And so it proved. Martin O'Connor
was holding a $1,200 clerkship in ti
treasury department. His eyesight
was either good enough to enable him
to perform the duties of a clerical
place, or he was being kept upon the
payroll of the treasury department tot-
as corrupt a reason as he was drawing
a pension and asking for more. "Tru-
ly", says the Republican paper quoted
in the foregoing, "it would be hard to
imagine a more conscienceless outrage
upon the principle which underlies the
pension system of our country."
The special pension system harbors

such frauds ar this, and we are pleas-

Lawton, Okla., March 2:1.—At a
meeting of representatives of the
Democratic party Wednesday evening
a plan of campaign was agreed upon
and the policy of tho party outlined in
a platform. The principle features in
the platform are these:
That the salaries of police judge and
city attorney be reduced from $70 to
$50 per month and that the salaries
of council men be reduced from $:! per
night to $50 per year. That the police
force shall consist of a chief, assist-
ant ch|ef, two regular day and three
regular night policemen, all of whom
shall furnish their own uniforms. That
the practice of remitting and sus-
pending fines be condemned and abol-
ished, except by a vote of mayor and
council. That no warrant be issued
on any fund unless there be money in
said fund sufficient to pay the same.
That if our candidates for mayor and
council shall be elected, they shall ad-
here to the strictest economy in the
administration of the city's financial
affairs to the end and purpose that
taxation shall be reduced to the low-
est possible basis commensurate with
the actual needs of the public de-
mands and the necessities of our pro-
gressive city.
That we favor the immediate ac-
quisition of water works and a sew-
erage system, the same to be paid for
out of the lot sale fund, and in the
event that that fund is not immediate-
ly available, we are In favor of the
city beginning active work on such
systems, with the express understand-
ing and provision that the said sys-
tems are to be bought or paid for as
soon as the department shall see fit
to deliver to us the funds appropriated
by an act of congress.
Mr. Editor. Dear Sir: Please make it
known through the columns of your valu-
able paper, that I called at the office of Dr.
Gunn, on August 17th, 1902. This was for
the purpose of consulting him in regards to
a large growth in my breast that had been
pronounced a Cancer. Dr. Gunn said it was
a stone Cancer. Having had confidence in
all he said, I began treatment with him,
and he cured me in less than two months,
by giving me small doses of medicine that
was not bad to take and the rubbing in of a

CIRCUIT ATTORNEY
FOLK'S UTTERANCES.
The following is a statement of Cir-
cuit Attorney Folk who has redeemed
St. Louis:
"No city can be injured by getting
rid of physical or i.nral filth. Corrup-
tion can not be c'ireil by biding it.
There is no secret remedy known for
it. The only effective medicine is a
good dose of enforcement of law, fol-
lowed by civic awakening and quick-
ening of the public conscience to pre-
vent a relapse. It is more honorable
to correct evils than to bear them in
ignoble silence. It is neither honest
nor patriotic not to enforce the law
for fear of the finger of scorn. It is,
of course, humiliating to know that rot-
tenness has existed so long unmolest-
ed. but it is far better to apply the
surgeon's knife to the cancerous
growth than by tolerance to allow it
to eat into and destroy civic life."
