Owensboro, KY, Aug. al. R.
Watkins was arrested at Leitchheld,
Grayson county, to-day on warrant
from the United States authorities
in Louisville charging him with i'm
personating a Government official. 1t
is alleged that Watkins made several
arrests In Grayson, Hardin and other
counties. He did not get the parties
to Jail, but compromised with them
for a small sum OF money and releas
ed them. For many months he acted
as a guide to the United States Mar

and came to the conclusion, so it is
charged, that he would like to be an
officer. He will be taken to Louisville.

Public Opinion.

The most crying, shaming, and at the
same time inspiring lesson of the re-
form movement in Pennsylvania is the
revindication of the power of public
opinion. We all know, academically,
that public opinion rules the world
the whole world-not only the civil
lied. bat the semi civilized and barbar-
Gus world that it rules absolutely free
communities, such as the American, the
British, the French, and also those
where the monarch has greater power
than in Great Britain that it rules
essentially in Russia, India, China,
and Abyssina. or curse its rule is
more free AID evident in free commun-
tiles; but recent events in Russia have
shown that the most absolute monarchs
in the world have to give way when
their people change their opinion about
things in general.
The effect of the tremendous kick re
Gently administered bv public opinion
in Philadelphia to their local system Of
political graft seems to have surprised
the beast that was hit not more than
the great dead-in-earnest, though not
unhumorous, public that administered
the punishment. The event provs 5
that there was storage battery of in
dignant protest right on the spot and
ready to be charged and that it might
have been charged and made to do its
vigorous work at any time these many
years back.
This, however, is not the Time for
blame for what was not Gone, but of
congratulation upon the glorious things
that have been done, and upon the
still more Fundamental reforms that al e

But let every community in the Uni

against corrupt local government take
both warning and encouragement. Let
it realize fully that ii it remains cor

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 8, 1919, COM
ing from good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, anG
during her career as a teacher she be-
came known as woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a daugh-
ter.
In those good old-faShioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
Of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses of the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing of so much suffering
among her sex, after much study and
research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have a COM
mon cause, and she set to work to
find common remedy-not at that
time as a source of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women Of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter-
ests of the Pinkham family as this
class of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.

RUSSIAN RUIN
DRAWING NEARER

London, Dec. 5.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg dated Sunday via
Eydtkuhnen, east Prussia, says that
the Russian capital remains quiet
but extreme extension prevails and
army patrols are in the streets. Espe-
cially the telegraph and postal tle-up
remains complete. Soldiers and en-
ployes of other departments are pc
ing used to deliver portions OF the
vast accumulation of mail. Author-
tiles express confidence that the
strike will be broken in a few days
but the basis of their optimism is not
stated. White is now convinced that
the emperor by acceding to the de-
mand for universal suffrage may still
find common ground on which the
government. the moderates and ex-
IRENE Clements can stand. II this
fails the proclamation of ready
made constitution might be tried as a
last card. Then nothing would re
main except the proclamation of a
dictatorship. Competent judges be-
lieve that a dictatorship, while it
might restrain the rising flood tempo
rarily, would only increase the dimen-
sions of the cataclysm and when the
dam goes will sweep the government
and dynasty away to common ruin.
