April 16-As Chas. s. Bell was GO
ing to Carbondale on Wednesday last,
driving a mare hitched to a buggy,
and while talking to Henry White,
Amos Ball, frank Vanderpool and
Mr. Weybright. he heard rumbling
obuckine sound down the road.
Divining the cause he sprang out Of
his buggy, for he knew it was an auto
mobile. It was not long in coming
to view. Ii was a red motar. driven

millionaire of Costumes. AS 1t APP
reached Charles, knowing the disposi-
tion of the mare, signaled Dalton to
stop, but from some cause he kept
coming. MIR WeybriRht seeing the
mare was going to make an effort
TO get away took hold of her too, but
In spite of the effort of both men, the
mare reared and plunged tearing
herself from the buggy, and breaking
the harness all to pieces. After tear
ing herself loose from the rig she was
ed. If a woman and children had
been in the buggy alone, there would
have been a bloody tale to have told.
The automobile is luxury for
the rich man, it is the terror of the
road for Transfers and especially
women or children caught on the
road Unexpectedly. There ought to
be a law taxing automobiles to such
an extent as to furnish special fund
for the education of horses driven IN
light rigs until they become &C
customed to it or be forced to pro-
vide themselves special roads. For,
as it is, it means bloodshed some

mobile which frightened her horse
greatly, but she pluckly kept her
seat and finally got passed. The
Chauffeur asked her why she did not
run through a gate in the field close
by. She replied, 1--WE pay taxes to
keep our roads up, you men come up
here without paying taxes and en-
danger our lives. Why did mt you go
out to one side and stopY" He made
no reply. There is speciality in
the business somewhere either light
rigs have to leave the road or face
the situation aud enD anger them

speciality, the autom obiles that pay
no taxes over the roads on which
they run or the people of a COM

Atkinson said it was all he could dc
to keep his four horses and mules

there ought to be large tax upon

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

This is very unsatisfactory, but
is only exceeded when the legis-
lature adds to this uncertainty
the interference of some courts
idea determining agency in fix
ing the crime, so that the citizen
must not only know the law or
what the legislature intended by
the law or what the courts shall
say that the legislature intended
but must also know at their
peril what the courts shall say
that the legislature intended for
certain outside organizations to
do before the definition of the
crime shall be definitely fixed.
This was the situation con-
fronting the Supreme Court of
Montana in the recent case of
State V. Holland, 90 Pac. Rep.
TO, which involved the construc-
ton of a statute which provided
that any person who shall wear
or use the insignia or ceremonials
of any society, order or organi-
zation of ten years standing in
the state, unless entitled to use
or wear the same under the con-
stitution or regulations of such
organization, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor. Appellant con-
tended that this law was uncon-
stitutional as it enabled the or
ganization to fix the offense,
thus delegating to it the exercise
of powers rightfully belonging
to the legislature. Thus a citi-
zen was unable to ascertain from
the statute what he was prohib-
ed to do, but had to gain such
information from the regulations
of a secret society which were
closed to him. Toavoid the pen
atty of the statute he had to
keep himself posted as to the
changes in such societies. The
Supreme Court of Montana held
that as the legislature declared
the prohibition and provided the
penalty for it's violation, but left
it to the societies to supply the
description of the violated ritual,
the statute was unconstitutional.

ognized by most Of the courts
that have passed on the ques-
ton.
Efforts have been made to
show that such statutes were in
valid because they did not apply
to other vehicles. But an auto
mobile is different from the u.s.
ual vehicles found ordinarily
upon highways, and its opera
tian occasions dangers peculiar
to itself and makes it a proper
subject for consideration by the
legislature under the police
power of the state.
The cases of Bellingham V.
Cisna, Al Wash, 1877; State V.
Smith, Rhode Island case and
State V. Swaggerty, a Missouri
case, all deal in an interesting
manner with this question.
The necessity for such regula-
tions is deeply impressed by the
number of accidents occasioned
by the machines.

u. S. District Attorney Joseph

resiCned his office rather than
assist in an attempt by the gov
erment to remove the case of
criminal libel against the Indian
oplis News, from Indiana to
Washington City for trial. Keat-
ing contended that defendants
had a right to a trial at home.
It will be remembered that
this was one Of the contentious
made by our forefathers when
Great Britain was in the habit of
carrying them across the ocean
to be tried upon criminal COM
plants. Mr.. Heating is evident
ly one of those prosecutors who
thinks it more important to have
Justice dealt out fairly than to
lose a case d prosecutor who re-
members that a defendant has
some rights and is entitled to
some. consideration even though
the prosecutor might get more
yellow journalism advertising by
conducting himself as persecu-
tor instead Of a legitimate prose-
cutor as contemplated by law.
Regardless Of the merits of the
case, the average American citi-
zen will respect the prosecuting
attorney who had the courage to
resign his office rather than be a
party to depriving a fellow hui
man being of rights which he be-
lieved him to possess II even
though temporarily under the
cloud of criminal charge.

Elections = Illegal solicitation
of campaign funds. 1t is sur
prising how much money the
people are urged to contribute
to each of the two great polltl-
cal parties in order to prevent
the other from securing most OF
their votes with which to ride IN
to power and to crush under the
iron heel of oppression the
rights of the common people.
Our last clause is the usual per-
Grafton of the Democratic and
Republican orators which we
have now come to accept with
patient resignation. But patti
ence ceases to be virtue with
us when year after year we are
assessed for contributions to con-
vince the other fellow while at
the same time the other fellow
is likewise importuned for funds
to convince us. When we and
the other fellow, especially II we
be office holders, get together,
this little one-sided game OF
chance is declared off and a law
is passed prohibiting the solicita-
ton Of campaign funds among
certain employees of the govern
ment.
All such laws are in the inter-
est of a sound public policy and
should be literally construed IN
favor of the fellow who has
spent all of his money in obtain
ing an office and then is asked to
mortgage his debts in order to
keep it. We commend therefore,
the decision of the United States
District Court in the recent case
of United States v. Smith, l63
Fed. 926.
In this case defendant was IN
dicted under the federal statute
for soliciting in the postotfice at
Clanton, Ala, contribution OF
money for a political purpose
from the postmaster. 1t appear
ed that defendant was the Re
publican committee chairman OF
the county, and that he was con-
Quoting a political campaign
there. He wrote letters in his

Guiding the postmaster, soliciting
campaign contributions, and af-
ter putting them in envelopes,
and sealing and addressing them,

ING the letters in the postoffice,
the postmaster came into the
room and spoke to him. De-
PENDANT thereupon handed him
the letter addressed to him, say
ing. This will save stamp. "
He took the letter, and defend
ant, without advising him as to
it's contents, Immediately left
the postoffice, not having in any
way solicited any contribution
except by the sealed letter. The
court held that a verbal solicita-
ton was not necessary to consti-
tute the offense on the ground
that the statute forbids the So
licitation in any manner what
ever, and, therefore, the solicita-
ton was complete and the stat
ute was violated when the letter
was handed to the postmaster.
