HEADING OFF SOME LEGAL DELAYS
Dill to Close the Gap Between De-
cisiOn and Execuiion.


cisiOn and Execution.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Per-
kins (dem.) of California today introduced
bill to amend that paragraph of the re-
vised statutes relating to the appeal on
habeas corpus OF criminal case to the su-
preme court OF the United States. The OBJ
ject is to do away with numerous appeals
by attorneys of prisoners. made with the
sole view of gaining time Senator Perkins
cited the Durrant case as a particularly
strong example of this sort. In this connec-
tion he said that when a prisoner had the
advantage OF jury trial, retrial II de-
sired, and an appeal to the governor OF the
state, 1t was manifestly unjust to allow ap-
peals to the supreme court without the GER
tificates of the state supreme court or tine
circuit court before which the case was
tried. The measure, IL passed, will not al
feet the Durrant case in any way, but will
considerably shorten the legal process in all
such cases in the future.

Letter Carrier Bonds

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-Postmaster Gen.
eral Gary has amended the regulations to re-
quire that after April next the bond sup
piled by letter carriers for the faithful per
formonce of their duties shall be that sup
piled by surety companies. At the present
time about half the carriers have surety COM
rany bends, and the other holf private in
dividual bonds. By the death of bondsmen
and for other reasons, the individual bonds
are often found to be worthless, and the new
system is believed to be in accordance with
pra ctical business methods.

Important swamp Land Case Decided

WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.-Justice Brewer
today handed down IN opinion in the United
StatoG supreme court in the case OF the
Michigan Land and Lumber company, plain
tln iu error, against Charles A. Rust. The
case involved the question Of the power OF

tion Of lands passing to the state under the

his action in approving 10 the governor OF

peals from the Sixth circuit. The decision

tion. 1t was held in brief that the governor

gan after a lormer list had been furnished
and found to be in error, had perfected
tho right to claim under the first list and
that amendment to the swamp lands act OF
1857 did not alter the situation.

Campaign News.

The State and local campaigns this
fall give promise of interest hardly
secondary to that of the Presidential
contest of year ago. By their re-
suits will be determined the first ex-
preston of the people of their feeling
regarding the new national administra-
ton and the changes that it has
wrought in the country. All parties
feel the Importance of hard work, and
will put forth strenuous exertion to
gain ballots. The battle of silver and
gold will be continued, involving the
future of the Democratic party. Local
contests there are in abundance, too,
the effects of which may not be very
far.reaching, but yet possessing Pc
culiar and strong interest.
1t is question of importance to
every wide-awake person where may
be had the best report of political
events and the progress of the cam
paign. 1t is question, however, that
is easily settled, for the Boston
Journal meets all requirements, how
ever exacting. This is one of the de-
partments of newspaper in which the
Journal has always excelled, and this
year it is to be stronger than ever be-
fore. The work of one of the best car
toon artists in the country will daily
add brightness to the news. The news
reports will be impartial, fair, reliable
and comprehensive, and no one,
whether Republican, silver Democrat
or gold Democrat can afford to be
without the Journal this fall.

KIDNEY TROUBLE CURED.
An Ohio Chemist Discovers "a Remedy That
Promises to End Terror of Brlghts
Disease.

Since DR.. Richard Bright first described
Bright's disease i'll 1927, the medical world has
given more and more attention to the study of
the kidneys as a source of dis Ease and ave
demonstrated beyond doubt that they the
direct cause of many of the ills of mankind
Nineteenth century methods of living are
well calculated to change the functions of these
delicate organs and few men to-day can be alb
solutely certain that their kidneys are in per-
fectly normal condition. tinge of pain in
the back is classed under that broad title of
"cold" while the dull ache that creeps through
the bones is blamed on the weather or allowed
to pass unheeded. This in reality, is natures
way of sounding the first warning that some-
thing is going wrong with the internal mechan-
ism and wise indeed is the man who heeds it.
Physicians have long been in dispute as to
the best means of treating disease of the kid
neys. The best theories being so often upset
by dire failure that it seemed almost as though
an infallible remedy would never be discovered.
Among the most earnest workers in this
field has been j Ohm Morrow, an eminent chem
list, of Springfield, Ohio, whose experience of
nineteen years gave him ample opportunity for
studying kidney trouble in all its phases. The
result of his research is a new combination of
remedies which he has prepared in yellow tab
let form, under the name of Kidneoids While
almost entirely new to the medical world Nor
rows Kidneoids have produced such marvellous
results that there seems little reason for doubt
ing that ne mas discovered tne remedy so long
sought for by eminent physicians and that time
worn ideas as to the most efficient method of
treating the kidneys will soon be obsolete.
In our last issue we announced that one of
the largest drug concerns in the United States
was negotiating for the control of Morrow's
Kidneoids. We are now informed by the dis
coverer of this most peculiar remedy that the
Herb Medicine Co., Of Springfield, Ohio, was
the fortunate competitor of the many firms
| who were endeavoring to secure the sole right
to manufacture and sell Morrow's Kidneoids
in the United States. They are now ON sale,
generally.
If not to be had of your dealer they will be
| sent postpaid 30 cents per box, six boxes for
| $3.50, by addressing above Company.
