SOME newspapers, as well as some
politicians, abuse the railroads, at the
same time expect all the courtesles
they can secure from them. 1t makes
no difference whether a measure is
right or not. If it is against the rail-
roads it is thought to be popular to
push it. Railroads are just as neces-
sary to the development OF country
as any other enterprise, and much
more so, as a general thing. The idea
that anything to cripple railroad is
popular" will be found erroneous il
you will consult people of ordinary
common sense. Simply because rail-
road is owned by a corporation is no
reason why it should not have its
rights protected just the same as an
individual business man. A great
deal of legislation against railroads is
in troduced with never an idea of
passing it. 1t is purely case Of try
ing to sand bag" or "hold up" some

wish to state the facts in regard to
the sickness and death OF Charles G.
Smith little more fully than was given
in the last weeks issue of the Index.
1t is true that Mr.. Smith was sick a
long time and at the time of his death
was being treated with Christian Science
treatment To use Bible language. he
had suffered many things of many doc
tors and was nothing better. but rather
grew worse
He had been under the Surgeon knife
twice within the last sis months, and WAS
finally told by the leading physicians Of
Boise City, that they could do no more
for him. They told his friends il was on
~ a matter of Il few days when he would
pass away; at hat time he asked for, and
received, Christian Science treatment
after one weeks treatment he was so
much better, that he asked his brother,
Mr.. L. G.. Smith of this place, to bring
him home with him and he did SO, at
whose home he received the most kind
aud tender care Everything that loving
hearts could suggest or willing hands pre-
form, having been done for him. llc
seemed TO be improving unt.l within al
hour or two Of his passing away, atwhicl
time he seemed to pass into peaceful
slumber; and SO passed on.
We feel that he was much benefited,
by that truth that makes free; Jesus says;
eve shall know the truth and the truth
shall make yon free. -
