Looking Backward
(From page one)

AT an early hour every road
leading into town was alive with
people, and by 10 o'clock there
were from 5000 to 1000 in the
neighborhood Of the Jail. Pickets
on the road disarmed every man
who carried a Winchester or
pistol. There was some lively
kicking, but all were compelled
to submit alike. Between and s
o'clock Father Lynch, of Lynch
burg, went into the prisoners
cell and remained with him ex-
cept for short intervals until he
was taken to the galloWs. He ad-
ministered the rites of absolution
and the last sacrament. Mrs.
Bates remained at the Jail until
the last minute. In company
with her was Mrs. Houk, widow
OF one of Halls victims.
"a. II:oU ram Hall was brought
from his cell to the front VIM
doW OF the court house for the
purpose OF addressing the peo-
pie. lie had asked Tor this priv
uege two weeks ago and had
promised to roast his enemies in
great style. When he appeared
at the window there was a ire
mendouS crush on the outside OF
the cour thouse lot. He surveyed
the great crowd much as cam
paign orator does when he steps
upon a platform, and every ear
in the vast throng was strained
to catch his every word. For 10
minutes he stood at the window
looking over the crowd toward
the far away Kentucky noun
oalns where his dead body was
soon to be taken. He did not ut
ter a word. There was a look of
anguish, Of utter despair, that
fairly chilled the spectators.
Twenty reporters stood beneath
the windows with open note
books, and the crowd outside the
enclosure surged against the
fence. 1t was scene worthy of
the greatest painter.
Finally, either from stage
fright or utter exhaustion, he
fell back into a chair and was
led away by Hon. Charles Rich
mond, one of his attorneys. After
a stout sWig of whiskey, he said
he would speak anyway and
again the pale and distorted face
appeared at the window An up
turned face just beneath h e
window attracted his attention.
He waved his hand and asked,
What might your name be?"
The person addressed told him.
That's all right he replied,
and then voluntarily turned from
the window. He was conducted
to his cell, where he dressed for
the leap into the unknown.
In the meantime 20 special
guards, several reporters, two
physicians and a number of
friends whom he had selected to
witness his execution were con-
Quoted to the small enclosure
where the hideous gallows had
been erected, entirely hidden
from the view of the public. A
few minutes later, at exactly
1918 p. M, the doomed man en-
tered the enclosure between
Sheriff Holbrook and Father
Lynch. He lookd around h c
crowd and recognized several az

For safety" they say. But is it?
Government figures show definitely
that long trains mean greater safety to
railroad employees and public alike.
Then, If safety is not the real reason
what Is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed-to get more pay! This made
work" would be sheer waste. Think of big,
modern locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you-the public-would
have to pay. Higher costs mean lower
standard of living for everybody. No
body wants that!

Big locomotives are built to do big job
in thu big country which is America-a
big job In peacetims a. in wartime They
arc built to pull long trains.
Long freight trains can handle more
goods at Len cost-to you-than short
trains.
Long trains mean fewer trains-fewer
chances for accidents-fewer Interrupt

But . few railroad union leaders op-
pose long trains their current ~
