THREE GREAT JUDGMENTS

Oh the many important decisions just rendered. says the New
York World, by the Supreme court OF the United States the most
notable is that relating to the lnermountain railroad rat cases The
issue involved is that OF the long and short haul 1t has been in Htga-
action OF the Commerce court nw abolished, which interfered rather
arbitrarily with the Interstate Commerce commission For present puc-
poses it is necessary to say NJ" more than that the Supreme court finally
establishes the commission in the power under the Interstate act TO
administer the long-and- short haul section so that, as in this Ease, rail
roads cannot make a higher charge to Denver or Salt Lake from
eastern point, than they maintain with relation to San Francisco, Los
Angeles or Portland.
The absolute justice OF tb. Judgment is 40 more illuminating than
the decision in regard o mineral lands granted to railroads in the days
when IL priceless public domain vas wasted in jobbery and scandal
1t vas n OF then the intention to give railroads mineral lands, but oil
had not been discovered in the far west and at that time it had OF
been judiGany settled that oil is a mineral. The suts o adjudcaed
we're brought against the Southern Pacific Railroad company by set
tiers and specuators in oil lands who have become wise after the fact
properly protect the interests OF the United States in making the grants
and that, in view OF the time that has elapsed, no action o lies
against the railroad except upon the possible ground of fraud.
Another decision in which the ilstarred Commerce court is again
reversed is that which holds oiLpipe to be common carriers and sub
ject % all the regulations which the federal law applies to such agen-
ces. BY this judgment a transportation monopoly of unique character
is forever doomed. Whether by pipe or by water, interstate mme
is not to be monopoized or impeded.
Three great judgments, indeed, and on the less great because n
of them clearly shows how executive folly and favor if nothing worse,
permitted the railroads a generation ago o gain a thousand millions III
land values to which they we're not entitled.

The Cost of Warfare.

The financial cost of modern war
fare is we'll illustrated in the follow
ing figures compiled by the Tribuna
Of Rome. They take no account OF
the expense for pensions:
The war with the Beers in South
Africa cost England s1,250, 100000.
Our war with Spain cost the two
belligerents together 1926, 100000.
The war with Turkey cost Italy up
to December 81, 1913, 1929, 100000.
After deducting the money spent
On permanent improvements, such as
new and unspoiled warships, artillery
docks, telegraph lines, Notifications,
railroads, ETC., it cost Italy $2.12 for
every soldier for every day Of the
war This cost in the Franco-Prus-
sian war was $3.50 for the German
army and $1.60 for the French. 1t
was SIS a day for each British soldier
engaged in the Boer war. According
to the Austrian Ministry of National
Defense a European war would cost
Austria $3.50 day for every soldier,
in addition to the expense for
pensions, new arms, munitions and
other war material destroyed and
indemnities to private Individuals

The Results of Advertising.

The editor Of certain Texas
newspaper called on one of the mer-
chants of his city for the purpose of
selling him advertising space. The
merchant refused and said that ad-
vertising was all right for some peo-
pie, but it was not adapted to his
business. He furthered his argu-
ment by saying that either himself
or his clerks knew every one in the
city and that his store did it's adver-
The editor inquired If every one
in town traded at his store. The
merchant answered in the negative
and the conversation soon ended.
The editor had won his point and Sc
cured a small contract. The mer'
chant soon learned that a little news
paper advertising was all right and
that more of it was still better. His
newspaper ads now reach thousands
of listeners where his conversation
publicity formerly had an audience OF
one or two. Ten customers buy
where only one talked before, and
this merchant is convinced that pub
licity is the thing.-W. Holt Harris.

WHEN OUT Of SORTS START
YOUR LIVER WORKING.
No Matter What Ais You, Dodson's
Liver Tone is Usually Big Help
in Getting WelI-Avoid Calomei.

Nine times out Of ten, when you
are i'll or out Of sorts, your liver is
out of order, and getting it in Or
der again will make you feel better.
When your liver is sluggish and tor
pid and you are constipated and bill
ious, it is impossible to feel we'll
There was time when great
number of people took calomel when
so troubled But this is not true to-
day. It has become widely known
that calomel often has bad after-ef-
fects and is even dangerous to many.
The use of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead of calomeI has spread wonder
fully because it has proved so Dene-
ficial in so many households.
The X-Ray Pharmacy recommends
and guarantees Dodson's Liver Tone
instead of calomeI, and guarantees to
refund purchase price (5Oc.) to you
Instantly without question if you
are not perfectly pleased with the
way in which it relieves you from
cons patton, sick headache, bilious
ness, etc. Il ''livens the liver and
is a pleasant-tasting, vegetable liquid,
easy to take and causes no pain, no
grip no bad results, no change from
your regular duties and habits.
To test Dodson's Liver Tone is a
sensible matter, because you get
your money back if you are not sat

A woman customer said to us the
other day, Say, you ought to tell
everyone in town about Rexan Dys-
pepsia Tablets. I would myself If l
could" That set us to thinking.
So many people have used them and
have so enthusiastically sounded
their praises both to us and their
friends, that we had an idea you
all knew about them. But, in the
chance that some Of you who suffer
from indigestion, heartburn, dyspep-
sia, or some other stomach complaint
don't know about them-We are writ
ing this.
They contain bismuth and pepsin,
two of the greatest digestive aids
known to medical science. They
soothe and comfort the stomach.
promote the secretion OF gastric
juice, help to quickly digest the food
and convert it into rich, red blood,
and improve the action of the bowels.
We believe them to be the best
remedy made for indigestion and
dyspepsia. We certainly wouldn't
offer them to you entirely at our
risk unless We felt sure they would
do you a lot of good. If Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets do not relieve your
indigestion, check the heartburn,

1t was ext =cted that before the
vote an effort would be made to
amend the provision permitting the
president to lease the railway when

results, could be obtained by pri-

was to go into railway building it
should also operate the line SO that

Found Guilty of Murder

saddle. whicn had been burned, and
later. the body OF the murdered
man. \ posse was formed and the
murderer trailed to Austin Nevada,
and there arrested, He was taken
back to IIiko, where the Justice OF
the peace selected twelve good men
and true, for a jury and announced
that the accused would have a fair
and impartial trial
"The trial began at 10 O'clock i'll
the morning and at ; o'clock the
jury brought in a verdict OF guilty
of murder in the first degree. The
defendant entered a motion for a
new trial, which was promptly over
ruled on the ground that the con-
dtmned man had already had a fair
trial. ThereupOn the jury took him
to the largest tree in camp and hung
him at i o'clock, The only hitch III
the whole proceeding was the fact
that the grave in which the eNecut
ed criminal was buried was unduly
shallow, the coyotes dislnterring
the body the same night. However
this was remedied the next day by
reburial in a deeper grave.
The grand jury and the district
court. after having been established
in Lincoln county, took upon them
selves an investigation OF the al
fair. 1t was decided that, since the
justice court was the only regularly
constituted court. the sentence and
execution were legal acts thereby
establishing this as the only known
case where a Justice of the peace
tried man for murder and impos-
ed a legal sentence OF death.
"Mr. Stern, in telling OF the al
fair. always asserted that although
the noise Of mailing the boards to-
gether to make coffin for the
criminal did at times dturb the
peaceful progress of the proceed
ings, the trial was fair. and the
