Hundreds More in Alaska in the
 Same Plight

Tired all the time;
 Weary and worn out night and day;
 Back aches; head aches,
 Your kidneys are probably weak ened.
 You should help them at their work.
 Let one who knows tell you how.
 II. R. Hatch, 2516 Cedar St., Everett, Wash, says: Tt is about fifteen years ago that I had kid ney trCuDle. For over a year I was confined to the house and it was in possible for me to get about without help. I had terrible pains through the small of my back and rheum- atic twinges throughout my body. I could not straighten up in the morning without going through all kinds of misery. The kidney secre- tions were sometimes very scanty and then again profrse. l doctored but was not given the leats bit of relief. Every one of them claimed that I had Bright's disease and that I was too far gone to be cured. Just at that time Deans Kidney Pills came to my attention and l gave them Q trial. I began to notc a change in my condition right after taking the first box, Grad ually the symptoms left me. l be- gan to Timber up and I was able to get around after taking ten boxes. l was at last my natural self and free from all trouble. It is now fil- teen years since l was cured, and I can say that have had no trouble since"

THE NEW HAVEN REPORT

The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission upon the New York, New Haven G Hart ford Railroad company is yalu1- bIo chiefly as a permanent and official record which will serve as a store of facts for future refer eucc, iu congress anI elsewhere. It is a document loaded with evidence of criminal folly ia the manage meut of a great railroad which would create an immense sensation II tho essential facts had not been brought to light mCntEs ago.
 It is hardly necessary to say thay the severity of the terms in which inc commission condemns the con- duet of those who came near the complete undoing of a splendid property which they controlled as trustees for its owners, is fully jus .!ued. It is one of the darkest and most shameful chapters in the history of American business and finance, and the country would vel come and applaud any prosecution of the guilty railroad officials which might be deemed practicable. The stockholders and the patrons Of the New Haven system were alike sui ferers from uuscrupulous misuse Of its credit and it's property.
 In facing such a story Of dishoa- CT the chief consolation of honest men lies in the fact that the New Haven warning has been needed as well as heard. l. is quite cer- tain that such methods of "niga finance" belong to the past. The searcbligbt of publicity turned into tho affairs of the great New Eng land railroad has wrought its usual cure. There will be TO repetition of the New Haven story. Public opinion and the precaurton of the state and national gov crumeut will prevent another such chapter of shame and folIy.-Cleye'and Leader

Gov. Brewer Ignores Challenge.

Gov Brewer will ignore the chal-
lenge Of Lieut.-Gov Bilbo, for a joint
debate in Smith Park, this city, for
March %, and does not intend to make
any formal reply to the challenge.
Further than saying that he did not
intend to accord this sort Of recogni-
tion to Bilbo, the governor declined to
discuss the matter, saying that there
was nothing to discuss. Political ad-
visers of the governor, however, dis
cussed the matter very freely, saying
that In view of the fact that he has
publicly denounced the lieutenant
governor as "the most crooked man
who ever held office in Mississippi"
he cannot afford to dignity him by a
meeting in joint debate.
Lieut.-Gov Bilbo's challenge to Gov.
Brewer followed a bitter attack made
in a statement by the governor. Bilbo
specified that the debate be confined
to an accounting of their political rec
ords and that personalities be avoided.

Ex.BANkERS ARE ARRESTED.
Former Cashier and Assistant Charged
With Perjury.

Brookhaven.-County Attorney Full
CHAM made out affidavits in Justice
Buffers court against F. F. Becker,
former cashier of the Commercial Bank
and Trust company, and L. H. Baggett,
former assistant cashier, charging
them with perjury. After their arrest
both men waived preliminary hearing
and gave bond in the sur Of $4,000
each for their appearance before the
grand jury in September. The bank
in question failed here January 5, now
being in the hands of two assignees,
one of these being Baggett and the
other a director, Louis Cohn, and the
affidavit created quite a sensation.
The official document charges Becker
with uttering a false statement on
January IS. 1918, when he swore that
there was NJ Indebtedness due the
bank at that time by its officers,
Becker himself owing at that time
over $4,000. Baggett Is charged With
practically the same offense.

The question Of adjournment of the

eleventh week of the 1914 session. Eff
forts have been made to fix a definite
time, but on some plea or another
these ehave been frustrated, and now
there are none who are wise or we'll
informed enough to venture a predic-
ton The senate a few days ago, by
q narrow margin, adopted a resolu-
ton to adjourn or March 25, but on
reconsideration this has been given a
quietus for the time being by a vote
Of 81 to 10.
Bilbo cmphatically refutes the idea
that the filibuster tactics which have
been pursued In the legislature are
part of a scheme to prolong the legis'
lative session beyond the time for the
converting of the Warren county court,
at which he is expected to appear to
answer the indictment against him
On the contrary, he declares that
whether or not the legislature may
be in session on March 80, the day for
the opening of court at Vicksburg, he
expects to be on hand and ready for
any proceedings that may develop.

Sentence Of Wiley Jackson, Confessed
White SLAYER, Withheld by Judge.
Meridian.-In the case of Wiley ].
Jackson, who pleaded guilty to. a
charge of white slavery, Judge Niles
stated that he would not fix the pen
atty at this term Of court, but would
delay the matter until the next term,
allowing the defendant to go under his
present bond of $1,000 for his appear
nee. Judge Niles stated that the e a
son he was doing this was that there
had been different constructions plac-
ed on the Mann act by different courts
in the country; that some courts had
held that the law applied only to COM
mercialized vice, to procurers and pro-
curesses who transported women for
profit, and that the act had been con-
strued as a whole in connection with
this view; that others had held that
the act applied to individuals and to
individual acts where there was no
commercial feature shown, and that
this construction was based on that
part of the act that said and "for other
immoral purposes" Judge Niles stated
that these features were now before
the supreme court of the United States
and that he preferred to await decis'
ion of that tribunal before passing sen.
tence on Jackson.

Elective judiciary Bill Signed.

The last detail necessary to get the
practical part of the elective judiciary
system written IN to the statute
books was enacted when Gov. Brewer
notified the senate that he had APP
proved the Norwood bill, providing for
the election of judges and %chancellors
this fall. The act carries into effect
the provisions of the much discussed
amendment to the constitution insert
ed in the 1912 session, and the system
of appointment, except to fill vacan-
cies, is relegated to the things and
customs that were. Under the provis-
ions of the act, all circuit judges and
chancellors now holding office in the
state are deemed to be filling vacan-
cies. whether their terms expire in
1914 or 1916. Their successors will
be nominated this summer and for
mally elected in November. 1t was
quite a coincidence that former Gov
Noel, who made elective judiciary his
political hobby, as has been stated for
years, happened to be in the capitol
building when the bill was signed.
