been melted out to the men and wo-
men members of the youthful band
that for eighteen months during 1907
and 1908 committed a series of muir
ders and robberies which kept the
residents of a considerable territory
in a state of terror.
Twenty-Five men, ranging in age
from is to 25 years, were sentenced
to death. Eight women were SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life A
15-year-old boy, who was shown to
have been an outlaw. was sent to the
colony for juvenile offenders.
The most sensational feat of this
band was accomplished on August %,
1907, when they held up train on the
coast railroad and robbed the cashier
of the Sestraretska imperial arms
factory of S6,500 Col. Sudeikin, who
sat near the cashier, was shot fatally.
Many factories and wineshops were
looted and among those who suffered
death at the hands of the desperadoes
We're a student. a woman and several
policemen. The condemned showed
great brayado during their trial and
TESTED as their sentences were pro
nounced. Several of the accused had
been tried earlier and convicted OF
individual offenses. One u the num-
Der committed suicide while in jail
awaiting trial.

ROOSEVELT SCORES
BRITISH NATION
TELLS seEFEATERs THEY MUST
GIVE EGYPT JUST GOV
EMINENT.
;, s. NATIONALIST PARTY is
NOT CAPABLE or eUARAN-
TEEINe JUSTICE.

London, June Quite unexpected
ly yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt delivered
what is considered by Englishmen as
a severe arraignment of the nation in
it's attitude towards Egypt.
With a frankness that caused a
stir among those gathered in the an
cient Guild hall to witness the cere.
mony OF comforting upon him the
freedom of the city of London, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that while Eng
land had given Egypt the best govern
ment in 1000 years, yet recent
events, folio wing the assassination of
Premier BoItros Pasha, had shown
that in certain vital points the British
government had erred and that Eng
last must repair this error, if she
wished to do ner full duty
He called attention to the fact that
England's primary object in takinA
hold of Egypt was the establishment
of order.
Either you have or you have not
the right to remain in Egypt and es-
tablish and keep order. If you have
not the right and have not a desire
to keep order, then, by all means, get
out But if, as hope, you feel that
your duty TO civilized mankind and
your fealty to your own great tradi-
tions bid you stay, then make the
fact and name agree and show that
you are ready to meet in very deed
the responsibility which is yours.
when a people treats assassina-
ton as a cornerstone of self govern
ment it forIeits all rights to be treat
ed as worthy of self-government.
Some nation must govern Egypt and
nope and believe that the English
nation will decide that duty is
theirs"
Mr.. Roosevelt dwelt upon the bale
full influence of the nationalist party
in Egypt, which had shown in cos
nection with the murder of the pre-
mier, that it was neither DESTROYS nor
capable of guaranteeing justice. Nor
had England shown enough of its
strength. You have tried to do
much" he said, 'in the interests Oh
Egyptians themselves. Those who
have to do with uncivilized peoples,
especially fanatical peoples, must re
member that in such situation as
that which faces you in Egypt, weak
ness, timidity and sentimentality may
cause infinitely more harm than vio-
lence and injustice. Sentimentality is
is the most broken road on which
righteousness can lean
With reference to the Soudan. Mr.
Roosevelt said he felt as he did about
the Panama canal. Although it might
not pay, it was Britain's duty to stay
t,aere.

Theodore Roosevelt's speech without

Unhappy is the man or woman with
bad back. No rest, no sleep, no peace
at all. 1t begins in the morning, when
you get up from bed so lame, sore and
stiff that it is hard to bend over to put
your shoes on.
All day there is heavy, dull throb-
bling pain In the small of the back.
just over the kidneys. 1t hurts to bend
over, to lift anything or even to get up
from a chair. Any sudden, awkward
movement sends a sharp, darting
twinge through the sore spot
When night comes the sufferer re-
tires to ftful sleep. can't lie comfort
ably in any position, or turn over
without painful effort.
Don't look at backache as merely a
muscular pain, that will pass away
with rest. There is a deeper trouble.
Nine times out Of ten it is the kidneys
that throb and ache, and there can be
no relief until the kidneys are given
help.
The kidneys have a big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidney filters constantly,
to be freed of uric poisons. 1t is q
heavy enough task when the kidneys
are we'll, but a cold chill, fever, or
some thoughtless exposure, or overin-
diligence in liquor, tea, beer or coffee,
is likely at any time to irritate, in
fame and congest the kidneys, and in
terrupt the purifying work.
