AN EARLY DECISION
SUPREME COURT WILL SHORTLY
SETTLE APPoRTIoNMENT CASE
Attorney-GeneraTs Comments-Deputy
Constable McClintock Sent to the
~ Grand Jury.

The opinion Is very general among Indian
apolis attorneys that the Supreme Court is
likely to dispose of the apportionment case
now before it within a comparatively short
ime The unusual promptness with which
the court has taken up and considered all
motions and papers filed in connection with
the case. the short time 1t gave for the
preparation Of oral argument. all these
things have shown the disposition to expe-
dite the case. The Democratic leaders are
not nearly so confident as they were that a
decision would be postponed until after the
election. aAt
The Attorney-general said yesterday that
in his mind there was no doubt as to what
decision the court would reach. Were the
court to write its opinion on the line in
sisted upon by Messrs. Kern and Smith, II 1t
decides their way" said he yesterday. "its
opinion, If it uphoids the act. must place 1t
in a peculiar position. There was no at
tempt upon their part, directly or Indirectly,
In any shape or form, to defend the consti-
tutionality of the act of 1SS5-no shadow of
such defense. It was admitted upon both
sides that the constitutional amendments,
the federal amendment known as the four
teenth, and the State amendment of 1881 had
wiped out all apportionments prior to 1885.
and that the decisions of the court had over
thrown all enactments since that one. so
that this was the only apportionment act on
the statute books not formally declared void.
Such being h eacase they proceeded to argue
that anarchy and public danger would be the
result. of overthrowing this act. Now, should
the court decide with them along the line or
their argument, Ii would have to plainly say
that one coordinate branch of the govern
ment must fail to do its plain duty in for
mally declaring void and unconstitutional an
act because it believes that one or the other
of the two other coordinate branches Will
refuse to do its duty. That Is all that can
be made out of the argument that If this act
is wiped out, either the Governor VIII fail
TO do his duty byAcalling the Legislature to-
gether or the Legislators, when SO convened,
will fail to do its duty by either refusing to
pass an a-pportionment law or by. passing
one that will prove unconstitutional"

Get Well and Stay Well
Get Rid of What Makes You Sick
and Stay Rid of 1t.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that. they could prevent 1t.
and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, 50 long as we donrt
take more care of our health we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indiges-
ton. Cure 1t with Shaker Digestive Cordial
A stomach full of undigested. fermented,
putrid food is the unhealthiest thing you
can think OF.
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the poisons of undigested food. More thar
half OF them could be cured with Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
More than half. because often when we
think we are sick We are only weak, and a
course OF nourishing food digestei without
effort by the stomach with the aid OF
Shaker Digestive CordiaD would reInvigorat,
the whole system and make us well.
A 1o-eent trial bottle will prove It. A
