Is Life Worth Living?

II there is an individual on earth who is
excusabie for thus interrogating himself,
it is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria In some one of its diabolical forms
This is no difficult conumdrum, however.
Life is worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and is not har-
raised by .reproachful conscience. The
malarial scoprge, heavily laid on, is ter
rible one for the sufferer to endure. A
series OF freezings, screenings and sweats
the last leaving one as limp and as
strengthless as dishrag, are hard indeed,
recurring as they do with fiendish regular
ity. Hostetter's STOMACH Bitters is the
worldwide known preventive and cura-
tive of this class OF maladies, either in the
form of ague and fever, bilious remittent,
dumb ague and ague cake. Used with
persistence they will, rely upon it, eradi-
cate diseare from the system. They also
eradicate disease from the system. They
also conquer rheumatism, kidney and blad-
der complaints, nervousness, dyspepsia.
liver complaint and constipation, and re-
new falling strength.

A MEDICAL paper says that lockjaw

EDITOR ADVOCATED have been
much interested in the arrangements
being made for great National expo
sition IN our State of Nebraska. The
association has almost a million dollars
at its disposal, and the success of the
enterprise is assured. Special effort
will be made to properly direct stten-
tion to the live stock and agricultural
interests Of the West. Irrigation plants
in operation will give an idea Of what
has been and can be accomplished In
that direction. Details In reference to
the live stock exhibits will soon be
given out In order that breeders may
have ample time to prepare animals
for exhibition. Premiums amounting
to at least $3.50, 900 and probably twice
as much will be offered for stock. Sta
tistics show the country west of the
Mississippi has S,458,809 horses and
mules, valued at S462, 2,6S9, ,62l; 30,970,-
GIG cattle, valued at $461 ,O9S,268; and
5O,8l1, 500 sheep and hogs, valued at
S168, 1855, ,O75. It seems that out Of this
vast number, representing so much
capital invested, the live stock exhibit
should surpsss all others,

Progress Of the Referendum.

EDITOR ADvOCATE-In my judg-
ment, the people must expect relief in
legislative affairs through the referen-
dunn. Several State Legislatures have
this year passed measures which, If,
through the operation of the referen-
dunn, they had been submitted to the
people, would have been overWhelm-
inRly defeated. Many bills have been
defeated In Legislatures which would
have been approved by popular vote.
Among notable instances which might
be cited are the maximum freight bill
in Kansas and the graduated inherit
ance tax bill In New York. The re-
suit Of legislative work is, as a rule,
anything but satisfactory to the people.
If all general legislation were submitted
to direct vote Of the people this dis
satisfaction would be removed, Sew
eral Legislatures have inserted refer
endum clauses in important measures.
Relative to the action Of the Illinois
Legislature in this line, the Chicago
Daily Record said recently:
"The thirty. ninth General Assembly
passed at least two important laws
containing referendum Clauses-the
Torrens law and the civil service law.
The fortieth General Assembly passed
as many laws containing the referen-
dunn clause. The Lake Front Park
law and the amended Torrens law were
both to be submitted to the people.
Attempts were made to place refer
endum clause In the bills whose pas
sage was desired by Yerkes, and In
order to facilitate the passage Of the
Allen bill [the Yerkes Chicago street
car measured through the House In the
iEDt INSTANCE 4 referendum clause wac
The advocate., 1897-06-23

actually inserted by its supporters,
which was 90 acknowledgment Of the
wisdom of such a provision. But, ss
the world knows, this referendum
clause was stricken out by the Senate.
The time will come when no legislative
body will dare to pass measures against
which there is such a public protest as
there was against the street railway
bills at Springfield unless referendum
clause is attached. When that be-
comes the rule the property of the
people will not be voted away to cor
pOratiOns without adequate compensa-
tlon, as at present.
"The growing demand for the refer
endum will suffice TO induce Legisla'
lures to grant it more and more on
important questions. But when a con-
stitutionsl convention shall be held In
Illinois again the organic law should
be changed 80 as to compel the use OF
the referendum in certain contlngen-
cies, and not leave the matter to the
wbim of legislators. In particular
should provision be made for the
greater use of the referendum for ques-
tiOns affecting municipalities and the
rights of the people therein"

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-If some future
poet plalntively sing of Liberty Lost,
and. like Milton, tell


BY which came sin into the world
And, by sin, death and all our woe,"
he will doubtless select the Dartmouth
College case as the gateway by which
the Satan of corporate power found
entrance into the Eden of political In
dependence and individual equality.
In that decision, Chief Justice Mar
shall in the Supreme Court Of the
United States perhaps because Web.
ster's "tOngue dropped mama and
made the worse appear the better Tea-
son"-declsred that a corporation, an
artificial person, an entity existing
solely by virtue of law, might have
perpetual and inslienable rights; that
a State, body polite, a sovereign
people, might surrender up part of
their powers, rights and privileges for
all time by granting charter to a COT
porstlon; that the rights of the unborn
children for infinite cycles of years to
come might be granted, bsrtered or
sold away by King, a Legislature, a
Congress or a Council to body of men
organized into and styled a corpora
tion; that the creature is grester than
the creator; that men might change
rulers and constitutions and Leglsls-
lures, but a perpetual charter having
once been granted, 1t was unssSailsble
to the end of time.
When thoughtful men discovered
the PaDdors's box Of ills which the
Supreme Court had opened, little won
der that they hastened to change State
constitutions to limit the life Of COrpo'
rations and that others vowed eternal
enmlty to the corporation and opposed
granting charters to any business cor
porstiOn.
But the Federal Courts have gone or
step by step in recognizing corpora
tlons as being in almost every way like
persons Of flesh and blood.
The Legislatures of Kansas snd
other States In some instances sought
to give an advantage, before thu
courts, to individuals, that they might
have equal opportunities with mighty
corporations, but all these laws srC
swept aside by the Supreme Court o.
the Nation, on the ground that the!
are in conflict with the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States and that they deny tC
persons the equal protection of the law
One of the latest victories for tht
corporations was the decision on Jan
usry 18, 1897, by the Supreme Court O
the United States, In the case Of G., s
+. & G. Ry. VS.. Ellis. The Texas Leg
lslature, like ours, had passed q Lev
making railways pay an attorneys fe'
Tin Texas not over $lU In damage case
of various kinds when the railway
should be beaten In q suit. This wa
declared unconstitutional because onl!
railways were subjected to an attoE
ney's fee when beaten. ANY tarme
in hitching up a light, young colt witt
a mature, powerful horse will give tn
colt the long end of the double-tree
but our Supreme Court insists on plaC
ing the individual on an equality (GOt
save the markD with the railway cor
porstion. OF course, this ends all suit
