THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
In England 1t Is Withheld From
Many Full Pledged Citizens.


There are many full fedged English
citizens who are disqualified from
membership in parliament and from
taking any part in parliamentary cleo
TONS Thus all peers of the realm, ex-
cept those Irish peers who do not hap
pen to have been elected for life to
represent their order in the house Of
lords are barred from the exercise Of
franchise. So, too, are police officials,
high and low. They neither have a
vote nor are they eligible.
Inellgibility to parliament extends to
the Anglican clergy, to Scottish Pres
byterian ministers and to the Roman
Catholic priesthood. Undischarged
bankrupts and those convicted of fell
ony and who have not completed their
sentences and are merely freed on
tickets of leave are likewise disquali-
fled from election to parliament. So,
too are young men under the age of
twenty-one and persons who, having
been judicially declared insane, have
not been legally restored to their civic
rights and privileges.
Insanity, however, does not consti-
tute any disqualification in the case of
the upper house of parliament. Luna
tics are permitted to take part in the
divisions in the gilded chamber, and at
the time when the Irish home rule bill.

defeated by the house of lords no less
than three crazy peers were brought
down to Westminster by their keepers
from the insane asylums in which they
were held under restraint and voted as
hereditary Legislators against home
rule being granted to Erin.

Never thought of such a

Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear cut
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not well made-and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
SCOTS Emulsion fixes all
kinds. 1t does the work both
inside and out. 1t makes soft
bones hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow

terials are used in the patching

that votes are bought and sold,
there is much talk about that evil,

that the individual who sells his vote
is unworthy of the blessings of the
