The sight of this baby girl was
saved because of the campaign for
the education of mothers, which has
been started and encouraged by
doctors and nurses, and which is
rapidly spreading all over the
country. A few days after this
Cleveland baby was born the moth
err noticed the little ones eyes were
inflamed. The mother had read in
a newspaper of the effort to save
the eyesight of babies threatened,
and she Immediately insisted that
the midwife attending her report
the case to the health officers. They
investigated and began treating the
infants eyes. 1t was a hard fight,
but now, after two months, the
baby's eyes are we'll. The disease is
known as opthalmia neonatorum.
1t is easily cured if taken in time,
but means blindness if allowed to
continue a few days. Mothers
are urged to Immediately report all
cases of sore eyes in their babies
to a reliable physician at once.

RAILROADS ARE INCREASING
FREIGHT RATES EVERYWHERE
nv United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 30,-Every
mail is bringing to the interstate
commerce commission notices of
large increases in rates by the rail
roads. 1t is expected that these in
creases will excite protest from
shippers and that the effect will be
to make congress more inclined
toward enacting a stringent railroad
measure.
Notices are coming in covering
much of the s-MisSOuri ter i
tory and the territory tributary to
Chicago. The proposed increases
affect a wide range of commodities.
While no accurate figures have
yet been worried out, as to the aver
age of increases, they approximate
IS per cent.
Experts of the interstate com
merce commission are at work an
alyzing the figures sent in to find
how the increase compares with
the raises in wages. When these
computations have been made the
commission will consider the rem
edy to be applied in case these new
rates are found to be excessive.

BOARD ACCEPTS
RESIGNATION
Of CHURCH
(By United Press Leased Wire)

Wy St''kCi coo [SdoCo
BOISE, April 30.-After a stormy
session, lasting the greater part of
the day, during which evidence adj
duced at private hearing which
has been seconded during the past
three days, considered and re-
viewed at length, the state board of
land commissioners unanimously
voted to accept the resignation of
Register NJ. !. Church, rendered to
Governor Brady one week ago, but
subsequently withheld at the re-
quest of Church, in order that he
might answer and explain any
charges that might be preferred
against him as the result of disclos-
ures of the existence of a contract
for payment of $4,000 in promoting
an irrigation project in Lemhi
county.
AS Church failed to make the
threatened charges to the effect
that members of the board had prof
tied by the Carey act transactions,
the action of the board in accepting
Churchs resignation probably ends
the Investigation until the meeting
of the legislature in January.

themselves into the good graces of
the oath of these old folks is to be
ignored by loyal and patriotic
people. 4
Now, to be fair, why justify your
selves before an investigation has
been had? But you say that an
investigation was had by enc com
mittee, and what was the result?
If the investigation committee
found the results they did from the
evidence only of the justifiers, what
would have been the result il both
sides had been heard? We are not
asking anything but fair and i'm
partial investigation, and this no
honest man should fear If there
is nothing to it and it is all a lie and
there is no foundation for the
charges, then no man should be
afraid of the results.
LET JUSTICE PREVAIL.
God hates a coward. 1t does not
always follow that because man
happens to be in position where
bravery and principle should be
the highest aim of man that we al
ways find it so. But you say that
old man Elliott has been Dcused
of wrong and criminally charged,
by whom? If this be the case, and
any man charged with the enforce
ment of the law failed to invoke 1t
against the old man, then such man
has committed another offense in
not furnishing the old man for the
crime. Instead, he railroaded him
in order to punish him because he
was trying to prevent crime being
committed upon his family.

States and l am loyal to my God

for an unprincipled evil-doer. | do
not attemp, neither have | attempt

Army cOuntenance for moment,
the unfolding of Elliott or any
other member in any unprincipled
acts, but we will defend him or any
other member and his family
against indecent and unprincipled
attacks or debauching. We want
only the right to prevail and this
we demand in the name of good
citizenship.
Give this old man and woman a
chance to go before an impartial
committee. If there is nothing in
the charges then we are in favor of
having them both punished for
bringing the charges without cause.
We want to thank this band of
noble, high minded and good prin-
cipled women of the Woman's club
for the part they are taking in
