APPEALS TO PEOPLE
RAILROAD OFFICIAL ASKS FOR
 FAIRNESS.
Walker D. Hines of Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company Says Unfair Judge Should
 Not Be on Commission.

Walker D. Hines of Louisville. First Vice-President of the Louisville ana Nashville Railroad Company, who spent yesterday in Montgomery issued an ad- dress to the people of Alabama in con- nection with the campaign for President Of the Railroad Commission:
 The address Is as follows:
 February q, 1904. TO THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA:
 Would you think it fair and just if the lawyer who appeared in court and ar- gued case against you in favor of your opponent should be called to sit as the judge in the same case at the next term Of court?
 Last June Mir. B. B. Conner appeared before the Railroad Commission of Ala bama and argued vigorously that all rall- road rates in Alabama should be reduced. As candidate for President of the Rail- road Commission he is now promising to decide all those matters against the raIl- road companies. His various lines of business give him direct and very large interest in a great many of the most im- portant Of these matters. Do you think 1t fair and just to make him one of the Judges to hear and decide the very con troversy in which he has already appear ed as an advocate or attorney. in which he has a large personal interest. and which he has completely prejudged in ad- vance of trial or hearing?
 The people of Alabama would not elect
 
 Commission in that controversy in behalf of the railroads. If they would not elect man representing the railroads, should they in justice elect a man who appear ed against the railroads, and who is 1d- versely interested to them? The law of Alabama declares that judge must not act in a case In which he has been attorney or in which he Is h. terested. Does not the same spirit Of fairness require that man should not | he elected President of the Railroad Com | mission for the express purpose of de- cidlng matters in which he is interested | both personally and as attorney? We do not, of course, deny or question | the right of the State to decide what Is | just and fair as between the shippers and the railroads, and that the Railroad | Commission has ample power to render | such decisions and make them effective. We do feel, however, that we have the | right to ask you to select some faii- minded and disinterested man as Presi- | dent of the Railroad Commission. before | whom the railroads. as we'll as the ship | pers, can appear in the confident belief | that fair and impartial hearing will be | accorded Very respectfully, | Walker w. Hines, | First Vice-President Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company. | MT. Hines returned to Louisville last | night.

 VINOL.
Mrs. Reno's Letter and Advice tc Mothers, Published by Request
 of MT. Fowler.

Mrs. Reno says: Our daughter Marion was troubled with indigestion; she be- came fretful, could not sleep at night. lost flesh. and we feared that We should lose her. We tried different doctors, and many kinds of medicines, with no appa- rent success. until we tried Vinol. Two bottles cured our little daughter; she can eat anything, sleeps wen and has gained flesh. We think 1t is the best medicine In the world for children. I advise every mother who has an ailing child to try Vinol. know nothing equals 1t. and 1t tastes so good there is no trouble in get ting children to take It.
 A reporter of The Advertiser asked Mir. Fowler of this city. who is selling so much Vinol, regarding 1t. MT. Fowler assured the writer that this Is only one of great many such cases that are con- stantly coming to his attention where Vinol has actually saved the lives of children when all else had failed.

You know, of course," said Mir. Fowler. 'Vinol is not a patent medicine, and 1t contains all the medicinal, curative ele- ments of cod liver oil. without the nau- seating oil; 1t is delicious to take. and will make rich, pure, red blood sound flesh. and muscle tissue. and create strength and health more surely and quickly than anything we have ever sold In our store.
 Tn the strongest manner we unhesita:- Ingly indorse and guarantee Vinol to in- crease the appetite, cure stomach troub- bles. give strength and renewed vitality to the aged. build up the run down. tired and debilltated. make the weak strong cure chronic coughs. colds and build up the convalescent. or will return 10 the purchaser every dollar paid for 1t. just wish every mother in Montgomery who has a sick, puny or ailing child would try Vinol on our guarantee" E.
