Se a ee peceenn CORSETS Some things about this figure that are extremely nice. Particularly pleasing is the back, which, re- gardiless of the stylish high belt line, is long and very straight, which is entirely due to the corset- ting. The absence of hips is noticeable and is the direct result of the corset shape--hardly nec- essary to say the Redfern, with the excellent Security Rubber Button Hose Supporters, is the model, since it is the best corset we carry and natu- rally the best we know. We invite you to meet Mrs. L. P. Gray, Expert Corset fitter, Who will give free fit- tings at our store for the week ending May Third: Walker-McKibbens The Butler Weekly Times Wha lebone (,0tdelo~ Court of Appeals. | There were lively times about the Th 5 ’ Printed on Thuraday ofeach week. _ county clerk's office on Monday, d.

The court gave arespect state of Missourl not financially in- terested in railroads, or deriving their living trom them, but would itke tohave a low passenger and freizht rate. Just how low a rate ean be maintained and pay areason- able dividend, after all expenses of {mprovement and maintainance are deducted, but few men in the Statc aze able to say, und they are expert accountants with experience in that line. No good citizen belives in con- tiscatory measures, and to compel a rail road to run at & losing rate ts nothing less than confiscatory. Judge Smith McPherson, of the Federal circuit court, after hearing evidence pro and con for months, and the ablest lawyers that the state! eS and the corporations could employ, decided that @ two cent rate would be confiscatory and enjoined the state from enforcing the two cent rate law enacted by & previous Mis- sourt legislature. The Attorney Gen- eral of the state appealed the case to the United States Supreme Court, where it {s now pending. There has been much sald {n the past few years about law enforce ment and respect for the laws. This has been a shibboleth which tomany conservative people, appears to have been a little bit over done. The pres- ent Governor Herbert S. Hadley has done considerable whooping {¢ up along those lines. A respect for the law can not be matntalned by peo- pie without a respect for the courte that Interpret and enforce them .
