three works of art i'll one Scenes typical OF
three seasons of the year Winter, Summer and
Autumn, are shown. The first picture repre-
sents a mother and son pausing in their walk in
snowy field, across which a rabbit is running,

The artist in the summer scene has pictured
three children rowing down winding river;
and were it not for the apples Which fill the pan

the graceful girl in the third picture was typical

Why?

Five years ago fewpersons in America
had heard of RamOn's Tonic
Liver Pills and RamOn'S
Tonic Pellets. To-day they
are used in thousands of households.
What has worked this change?
Four different things.
I. This is not simply liver pill
but an entire treatment. 1t
is complete substitute for physi-
clan in liver troubles.
2. 1t costs only 25c., when the
same medicines if purchased separately
would cost so to 75c.
3. The remedy works gently and
not violently. 1t does not arouse a
feeling of weakness but makes you
feel steadily better from the first day.
4. 1t is absolutely harmless. Sick or
we'll, it can not be bad thing to
take, as it purifes the blood and
tones up the whole system.
Why not try it for those occasional
headaches? 1t will stop them.

In a recent issue we intimated
that our own E, Dudley~Duncan
had fallen into innocuous desuetude
since he arrived in Nashville, but
we now hasten to correct that i'm
preston. The Nashville American
published picture of a man in its
Sunday issue and said it was E.
Dudley Duncan who was one of
the Republican champions of de-
bate. In its issue Of Tuesday, the
American published Duncan's
speech in full. This is what he
said:
Mr.. Speaker AMI Fellow Members
OF the House II wish to address
myself to the pending resolution in a
brief talk. shall speak but four min
utes, and shall discuss the subject
matter at issue under its following
subdivisions, which | think virtually
cover the ground.
First, the Main Resolution-The res.
olution under consideration virtually
indefinitely postpones the joint meet
ing of the assembly. At least, the
precedent already clearly established
OF an early count Casually the sixth or
seventh day Of this SESSION. is totally
disregarded by this resolution. Is a
position thus assumed by gentlemen a
wise one? Is precedent thus to be
disregarded by gentlemen who cite &C
much precedent for their constitutions
construction? | shall dismiss thii
part of my subject here as ] haYe
already, last Friday, taken occasion tt
argue the very same position on thi
resolution. However, l call gentle
mans attention to the fact that thu
Governors term expires on the 10th
day OF this month.
Second, the question of constitu
tional construction-This resolution
is formed to give time to pass the pend
ing Senate bills, and hereunder, gen
tlemen, permit me to say, the word
of the constitution are plain; they c.
not be changed by bill; they are
ambiguous; they say but one thin.
Precedent Of other commonwealth
might be cited they could not chang
the meaning or the wording OF til
Constitution OF Tennessee. | hold tn
common sense view OF the situation i
to read the following clause of OF
Constitution in the exact light of ju
what it says;
"Tne returns of every election fC
Governor shall be sealed up and tran
mitted to the seat of government /
the returning officers, directed to i
Speaker OF the Senate, who shall op,
and publish them in the presence OF
majority of the members of eat
house of the General Assembly,"
This says but one thing. He wi
has the highest number of votes,
adding these returns. ia Governo
The legal aspect following them b
been aud will be ably discussed
