study made of what religious and re-
lief work was actually being carried
on there. 1t has already been found

nothing is done for the operatives that

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is a tomahawk plant in Kansas
CITY that turns out thousands of toma-
hawks weekly. These are sent to the In
dian reservations in the west. where they
sell like hot cakes to tourists-especially
to foreign tourists.
One reason for the existence of this
plant is that the Indians are losing their
ability to make tomahawks. Tomahaw<s.
with their dull, fragile edge of stone, are
worthless beside an ak or Ratchet. Hence
the Indians no longer care for them.
OF course a few Indians still make tom

There are hundreds of women in

and my appetite was gone. After TAX
ing several bottles of Vinol | found
my condition greatly improved, and
do not hesitate to recommend Vinol
to anyone similarly affected"
Vinol is not a secret nostrum, but
a delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil, which will create an ap-
petite, tone up the digestive organs,
make pure blood and create strength.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the u n
d%erstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC

There is coming about an adjustment
Of the relations between the railroads
and the public. The latter is begin
ming to understand that the public
service corporations are not getting a
square deal' in many respects. The
public is an accessory to many of the
acts charged to the railroads. Many
an otherwise honest man or woman
who would not think of stealing from
a neighbor, will use an expired rail
road ticket, or evade the payment of
a street car fare. There are no stings
of conscience, and the person guilty of
the fraud does not feel that he is sin
ming against any particular person.
The railroad has been, and is now at
the mercy of the corporation batter and
the political sand-bagger, From time
to time, in practically every state in
the Union, self-seeking politicians in
troduce legislation, either for the pur-
pose of settlement or for the purpose
of forcing the railroads to pay tribute.
There is no doubt about this. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge. ANY
fair-minded person recognizes the in
justice of this condition. The rights
of the railroads are no less than the
rights of any individual. Each is
entitled to exactly the same considera-
ton. In the past it has not been true,
that railroads could expect impartial
enactment and enforcement of laws to
safeguard the interests of their
stockholders.
1t is time for a new deal. The
stockholders, employees and officials of
the railroad company should realize
that their acts as members of the cor
poration are not devoid of personal
responsibility, and that thew them
selves constitute the railroad. On the
other hand, the people are coming to
a clearer conception of the fact that
the term Corporation is a legal
fiction, and who are in truth public
servants, but who, ever as such, nave
rights as inalienable as those of the
public.
