ing the provision of the new railroad
law prohibiting railroad strikes, but
they are not any nearer being salts

no humor to submit to the outrageous
demands continually being made by
these disturbers, who are the best paid
men in the world for the returns they
give. The great common people can

Soldiers and machine gun equipment

ing that impregnable pile for the sake
of the negro tiend Lockett, over wnom
six white men lost their lives at Lex
ington two weeks ago. This is anoth-
er mistake-a needless expense added
to the thousands of dollars cost al

Judgment used in handling this case.
The Eddyville prison is modern
structure, built on hill with walls of
massive stone that no Lexington mob
could scale or penetrate. Furthermore
Eddyville is so inaccessible that the
ranks of any mob moving from central
Kentucky would be so depleted en-
route that "corporal's guard" would
not survive to reach there This is
working the tragedy into farce.

been obviously due In very large

prices which prevailed In the six
month period from July. 1919. to Jan
uary, 1920, which necessarily involved
a great expansion OF funds and clear
ing transactions, IL should be pointed
| out that this enormous increase In
loans may also be accounted for. to a
considerable extent. by the demands

upon their customers In requiring
them TO carry larger deposit balances
as a condition precedent to the grant
ing OF new loans. or the continuance
of existing lines OF discount. II has
