PLEADS FOR FAIR SHOW
FOR THE RAILROADS

In two Kentucky counties recent
ly railroad companies were indicted
by grand juries. In one instance
company was indicted for the fail
ure of its employees to blow the en-
CINE whistle. In the other case
the indictment was for excessive
blowing of whistles. This leads
Central Kentucky paper to remark
that no corporation in the world
suffers as much from adverse leg
islation and general knocking" as
does a railroad.
There is good deal of truth in
the assertion. AS a matter of fact
those who are in the business of OPP
Grating railroads must find it hard
to run the roads TO suit the public.
One class of patrons inveighs
against slow trains while another
class protests against trains that
are fest oae municipality objects
to whistle blowing and drafts an or
dinance accordingly. Another in
sists on well-nigh continuous blow
ing. The railroad companies areJ
harrassed by indictments on trivial
grounds and they are constantly as
sailed by damage suits, some of
which are utterly without merit.
They are looked upon by petty pol
iticians as legitimate prey and they
are the target for all sorts of leg
islation, some of it wise and much
of it foolish.
Communities that are without
railroads always rejoice at a pros
pect of getting them. A town
without a railroad is inevitably
town behind the times. A county
without railroad is virtually "out
of the world" All such counties
want railroads and some of them
give subsidies and make stock sub
scriptions to secure them-a sensi-
BILE thing to do, provided the
amounts required are not unreason-
able. But once a county gets a
railroad, the ''hammering' begins,
and is continuous.
The railroads should be given a
fair show. The county could not
very well get along without them.
In essential particulars they are,
and should be, regulated by law. If
held to proper accountability in i'm
portant things, the public should be
satisfied and should give small en-
couragement to legislative hold-ups
and petty persecutions.-[Lo Louis

my, comets are now chiefly interest

strating the immensely of space and
the greatness OF the power that

was a time when comets were al

Mrs. Emmeline Pank-

TO 3 YEARS PENAL SERv|TUDE
Declares She viii Leave the
Prison Soon, Either
Dead or Alive.
PLANS TO REFUSE ALL FOOD

London, April Airs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, the leader of the
militant suffragettes, was to-day
found guilty and sentenced to three
years penal servitude at the Old
Bailey sessions on the charge of
melting persons to commit damage.
The trial lasted two days. The
jury added to it's verdict of guilty
strong recommendation for mercy,
and when the Judge pronounced
the heavy sentence OF three years,
the crowd of women in the court
room rose in angry protest.
AS Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in
the prisoners Enclosure, her sympa-
thizers cheered wildly, and then
filed out of court singing March
On! March On!" to the tune of the
"Marseillaise."
Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address
to the jury lasted fifty minutes.
She informed the court that she
did not wish to call any witnesses.
In her address she frequently wan
dered so far from the matter before
the court that the Judge censured
her. % 90 - ~ ~ p - zee
Mrs. Pankhurst denied any mali
cious Indictment. Neither l nor
the other militant suffragettes are
wicked or malicious" she said.
Women are not tried by their
peers, and these trials are an exam
pie of what women are suffering in
order to obtain their rights. Per-
sonally, have had to surrender a
large part of my income in order to
be free to participate in the suf-
frage movement"
Speaking with much feeling, Mrs.
Pankhurst fiercely criticised man
made laws, and said that the di-
vorce law alone was sufficient to
justify revolution by the women.
In impassioned tones she declared
Whatever may be my sentence,
will not submit. From the very
moment | leave the court | will re-
fuse to eat. | will come out OF
prison dead or alive at the earliest
possible moment"
She then repeated her determine
ton to end her sentence as soon as
possible, saying:
81 don't want to commit suicide.
Life is very dear to all of us. But
| want to see the women of this
country enfranchised. l want to
live until that has been done. /

keep it up as long as have an
ounce of strength.
This movement will go on
whether l live or die. These wo-
men will go on until women have
obtained the common rights of cit
izenship throughout the civilized
world"
Justice Lush said:
II must pass a severe sentence
on you. If you would only realize
the wrong you are doing, and use
your influence in the right direc-
ton, | would be the first to use my
best endeavors to secure a mitiga-
ton of your sentence. / cannot and

trivial. II is a most serious one."

MAKES YOUR bACKACHE
QU|CM DISAPPEARED
A Few Doses Relieves All Such Mis-
cries, Bladder Weakness, Kid
ney Trouble and rheumatism
Promptly Vanish.

1t is no longer necessary for any
ere to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma
tism, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discoy-
cry, Croxone, quickly and surely re
i.eves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
reemdy yet devised for ridding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities whict
cause such troubles. 1t is ent:
dif.eIent from all other remed'0s. II
il not like anything else ever used
fol- the purpose. 1t acts on the prin
ciple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
II soaks right in through the walls
membranes and Innings, like water in
sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong. healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
yon have used, the very principle OF
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
Icihing else on earth like it. 1t
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back, and sides, or have any signs OF
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma
'ism, such as puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the feet and ankles,
if YOU are nervous, tired, and run
down or bothered with urinary dis
orders, Croxone will quickly relieve
YOU of your misery. You can secure
an original package of CroXone at
trifling cost from any first-class
druggist. All druggists are authoriz-
ed to personally return the purchase
rrice if it fails in single case.
