Don't lose 1t. Don't let it get away
from you; il you do you're a goner. The
procession will pass you by and all you
can do, IL you have no ambition, is to sit
on the figurative fence and let it pass by.
Ambition means that you will strive to

the fire that burns beneath the boiler
and makes the steam, the push, the goa

SCOTS Emulsion

Scott S Emulsion
is not a secret remedy. 1t is
simply the purest Norway Cod
liver Oil, the finest Hypophos-
phites, and chemically pure Glyc-
crime, all combined into perfect
Emulsion SO that it will never
change or lose its integrity.
This is the secret of SCOTS
Emulsion's great success.
1t is the happy combination of
these most valuable ingredients,
materially increasing their po-
tency; hence the great value of
Scott's Emulsion in wasting dis
eases. We think people should

In both cases, Notwithstanding greater
difficulties and cost of transportation
than now exist, the coins whose in
trinsic worth was undervalued in the
ratio. gradually and surely disappeared
from our circulation and went to other
countries, where their real value was
better recognized. Acts of Congress
were impotent to create equality where
natural causes decreed even a slight
inequality. Twice in our recent his
tory we have signslly failed to raise
by legislation the value of silver
Under an act Of Congress passed in
1878 the Government was required for
more than twelve years to expend an
pually at least $24, 900. 900 in the pur-
chase of silver bullion for coinage.
The act of July IA. 1894, in a still
holder effort increased the amount of
silver the Government was compelled
to purchase aud forced it to become
the buyer annually of $4,000, 900
ounces, or practically the entire pro-
duct of our mines. Under both laws
silver rapidly and steadily declined in
value. The prophecy and the expressed
hope and expectation of those in Con-

between the two metals is still fresh
in our memory. In the light Of those
experiences which accord with the ex-
periences of other nations, there is GER
tainly no secure ground for the belief
that an act Of Congress could now
bridge an inequality of 80 per cent
between gold and silver at our present
ratio. nor is there the least possibility
that our country, which has less than
one-seventh of the silver money in the
world, could by its action alone raise
not only our own but all silver to its
lost ratio with gold. lss+ nst

Is Hanging Legal In Kansas?

Topeka, Nov. 23.-Great interest
has been taken over the state in the
discussion Of whether or not there is
legal way to hang convicted muir
derers without the warrant Of the
governor. A number Of prominent
lawyers have held that the law does
not provide such a way, while on the
other hand the prepOnderance Of Opin-
ion among the profession appears to
be against such conclusion.
AS is well known this discussion
originated over therequest Of Judge S.
W. Vandiyert and 100 other citizens
Of Edwards county to Governor Nor
rill for the issuance Of the warrant
which would launch Arnold and Har-
vey, the murderers Of Mayor Marsh of
Kinsley, into eternity. 1t was CON-
monty believed that if any district
Judge in Kansas had the nerve to
hang a convicted murderer, il was
Judge S. W. Vandiyert, and upon the
decision Of Governor Morrill, not to
issue the necessary warrant, it was
predicted that the Judge would at
once take steps to carry his own SEN
tence into effect.
That the prediction was well found
ed is now made evident for Judge
Vandivert has instructed the county
attorney of Edwards county to bring
the matter before the supreme court
as test case. While of the opinion
that no one outside Of the governor
can have the right to cause the execu-
tion for murder, Judge Vandiyert be.
lieves that there is enough doubt
about the matter to ask for ruling
by the higher court.

The DoubIedau Law.

There was so much controversy
last fall about the fee and salary law
that the VOICE does not feel like
dropping the subject now, as Repub-
lican papers seem inclined, without
calling attention to few facts. II
will be remembered that Ivan Rogers
and the VOICE were pretty severely
stigmatized for characterizing those
officials who refused to be governed
by it as fee grabbers and defaulters.
It was claimed that the law was I'm.
constitutional and that therefore our
charges were ground!esS, and were
being made for political effect. The
profound legal acumen Of Andy
Richards, John HaugheY and others
was invoked to quiet the nerves OF
the skeptics and later when his
Accidency, the learned judge Of the
district court, pronounced it uncon-
stitutional the derisive finger Of scorn
was leveled at US with the haunting
remark ave told you So"
Many Of our readers will remem-
Der the exhaustive opinion of Judge
Brunette on the subject which was
published in the VOICE. 1t filled
more than a page Of our space.
Numerous citations were employed
to show that the law could not pos
sibly come within the provisions Of
the constitution. Notwithstanding,
the supreme court upset it all with
an opinion that will fill less than a
column, written by Justice Allen and
concurred in by all the justices.
There is such a striking similarity
in the points made by the supreme
court to those maintained by the
VOICE that We reproduce below the
opinion Of the court side by side
with an editorial printed in the VOICE

A true copy. Attest:
G. J. BROWN, Clerk Supreme Court.
If is but fair to say that the points
for this editorial were furnished by
Ivan Rogers. The editor Of the
VOICE does not pretend to be a
lawyer but the points raised by Mr..
Rogers appeared so plausible to US
that We reproduced them and put
ourselves on record by them. The
result has shown how well Mr..
Rogers ideas were grounded in law.
Now, to conclude, the Voice
would renew the observations made
during the campaign, that these men
ought to have been willing to have
obeyed the will Of the people as ex-
pressed in the Doubleday law, in
stead Of trying to evade it upon
technically. Now that their tech
nicality is gone they are compelled
to obey it, anyway.
