l scheme of this kind. Here was an at
tempt he thought to slip up on the blind
aide of the natmlff of tne State with a
propoKlilon they had leeu given no op
iwriun'iy io (iim uii mm n iwi m n
themselves upon There was nothing In
tjje bill but m plan to Involve the school
fund In a State railroad construction
project something he was sure the people
Were not readv to approve.
IJvelv thought it wan ell right to Invest
the school fund in a State railroad be-
cause the Statn had given existing rail-
roads many millions of acres of land to
assist in their const met ion.
Smith thought enough time without af-
fecting an body's opinion had Iwen
wasted In discussion of the bill and moved
the previous question on the fox amend-
ment striking out the provision for a P-
mite extension.
The previous ouestion was not aecorded
however and Jenkins took the floor in
support of the bi'l. saving that the repre-
sentatives of anevlal Interests had always
denounced the proponents of measures for
the relief of the people as popullstic and
so 'mi. i in so doing iney mm me pop-
ulist partv an unmerited honor. Kvery
time a measure for the Interest of t h
preat common people was proposed he
tald. some fellow lumped up and de-
nounced !f ns popuhsllc
Kevertlng to himself lie challenged any
one to show that he had advocated any-
thing hut democratic measures and tlo:i
pro. teded to prove Thomas Jefferson an
advocate of government ownership of
transportation facilities arguing Mjn into
that position because of his belief in the
power of tlie government to build high-
ways and promote other internal improve-
ments. Furthermore. the gentleman from
Brow ii asserted that the State was al-
ready In the gov ernment tu nershlp of
railroads business.
"Kmlroads are public highways." said
he. which means that they belong to
ih- Suile."
lie als expressed the opinion that the
:oid t ovjLI. if extended be made to pav.
ht d thought that its bonds would prove
a good in eat men! for the permanent
s. ' o..' fund. He did not think It uncon-
stitutional for the State to lay hands on
the s-hool fund to build railroads with
i or did ho think the indirect method of
-resting a debt in excess of $JQ-.uOO a vio-
lation of that clause of the constitution
prohibiting the creation of such a debt.
SCHEME Ttl'M'GHT JENKINS.
He thought the building of a Slate rail-
road would be a good scheme to forca
t he owners of existing railroads to sell
;it to the State cheap thus enabling the
State o pet Into the ownership business
right at a minimum of cost. In tins way.
'e iho-:gi t. th" State ouid hedge against
the day v hen ;he railroads would become
ton strong to he controlled.
i 'taw; ord said that most of the talk
heard in favor of the bill had not touched
the question at sue. top fides or bot-
tom which was simply a question of ln-
est i rg t he permanent school fund in
an nierpnse in be managed bv the pen
itentiary hoard which was composed of
i ien not .c: cot ed for thir proficiency m
ra .toad management men usually select -
d for their alne as political fence
builders.
Tt e only t' ing th's railroad' had so far
he' ped to hr.ng a bout was a n increased
defi. it at the Husk penitentiary as well
as a t .oslng up of that prison s indus-tr.-1-;
lioing into details he called at-
tention to th fact that the Rusk rail-
road inferior m construction and that
t would have to Ih completely rebuilt
! be of any value as a competitive
proposition.
Furthermore he declared that a first
c'ass road could not he built for $10000
per rnfif. a: had been asserted. The pen-
itentiarv board s reports sliowed that
$;:.'l0it per mpile haJ been spent on so
much of t! e road as has already been
bn't and nothing but a second class
road prod".'-fd at that. Diverting a Ht-
t!. he ased v hy it was that It was
t ot proposed to h did the railroad out of
the genera! i e venue fund enriched w ith
t:ie Wai- rs Fi- i. e oil fine of $1.V"')
fver which s-'ir.e people wer growing so
.'-st. Was it because that if this fine
) ad not been so opportune v cn!Ie-"tM a
$jX. "Ort deficit woi.id hae been disclosed
in the general revenue fund?
What ass r ran. e did the legislature

the !egi-!ature was about to investigate

l:ad earned within a few dollars of its
total expenses of operation and that this
ar It had cleared over t'J"f) already.
T. e j.u:-poe of the extension the gentle-
man from Grayson explained was to
reach ilgrltc a:nl limestone beds to en-
al.ie the industry at Rusk to get these
products needed in the manufacture of
Iron at rasonab! rates and permit of

Distressing Symptoms in Many Cases
of Rheumatism.
They Aro Caused by Poiaon In tha
Blood Which May Be Eliminated
by an Oxygen-Bearing Tonic.
The medical profession does not pretend
to know vei-y much alwut Jheuinatlsm.
Its cause or Its cure. It Is known that
In rheumatism there Is present a poison
In 'the blocHl but the xact nature of il
Is still a mystery. The effect upon tha
blood Itself Is to produce a rapid and
marked Iohm of red coloring matter. This
weak comparatively colorless and poi-
sonous blood Kets up an Inflammation In
the Juinta and niusclea In which It cir-
culates and the distressing pains follow.
About all that the doctors know about
the treatment Is that Improvement In a
majority of cases follows the giving of
certain drugs. Most doetora depend
upon snllcyl compounds and most of
tneir rases recover at least temporarily.
Some ca.es do not yield at all to auch
treatment In which practically no Im-
provement has been made since INT A.
It has been found that the effect of
oxygen on the blood has been to render
the rheumatic poisons harmless and to
restore to the blood Its red color which
means health. Healthy blood will throw
off these poisons. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have the quality of enabling thi
blood to absorb added oxygen and In this
way they have cured hundreds of cases
tmu time iefled other treatment.
The cum of Mrs. Pee Priestly of Edna.
Kansas. shows how thoroughly Pr. Wil-
liams' rink Pills cleanse the blood of all
traces of rheumatism.
"While I whs weak and my blood was
thin from overwork." she says. "I began
to suffer with rheumatism. The Illness
affected mv whole system and I kept los-
ing strength all of the time. The rheuma-
tism was In my limbs and the pains were
sharp and shooting. My hands were
affected und my muscles and joints were
stiff and sore. My back ached continually
and at times the pains would suddenly
shift to my shoulders. I was confined to
bed for a. time and could not rest day
or night.
"The doctor said I was suffering with
general debility and rheumatism. He
helped me for a while hut did not cure
me. 1 was not helped until I began tak-
ing lr Williams l'lnk Pills and this
was after I hud been suffering for years.
1 saw some improvement almost at on -e
and 1 felt so encouraged that I gave 'h
pills a tltorough trial and was restored
to health. I have been well since then
and can recommend Pr. Williams' Pink
Pills very highly."
