FAIR NOW.

Having been amended so as to re-
lieve it of the last possible objection
the opposition could honestly make,
the fair trial" bill as it left the SEN
ate seems to be about as nearly per-
feet as it is given to any measure OF
human origin to be. Before permit
ting it to go to the house, the senate
attached an amendment limiting the
aggrieved party to pending litigation
to only one time in which to make
and prove the charge of prejudice and
bias. This provision was inserted at
the instance of those who oppose the
bill and who claim that without some
thing of this kind NJ bar would exist
to prevent abuse of the law for the
of h%indering and delaying litl-
CATION. In acting on The suggestion.
the majority probably recognized that
the exception was we'll taken. but did
so without in any way affecting the
principle of the bill, that all htigants
shall have the opportunity of having
their cases tried before fair and I'M
partial judges, men who have not
made up their minds in advance as to
how they will decide or rule on GER
tain questions and motions. In re-
curing that the entire supreme court
shall pass upon the charge OF unfair
ness the bill makes wise provision
to save the reputation of the lower
judiciary, as the charges that may be
made against individual judges may
be of so serious and grave a nature
that it is but just that the full SUI
preme bench shall declare that the
charge has been we'll made. AS the
bill is now framed no reasonable or
honest objection should be made
against it and if the house complies
with the wishes of the majority OF the
people whom it represents it will not
permit the employment of such tactics
as were brought into play in thes SEN
ate to delay action upon it.

WHERE THE POWER BELONGS.

After all has been said against the
to offer, the fact still remains that
the pending measure to limit to the
supreme court the power to disbar
lawyers is a just and good one. The
power to create should also carry
with it the right to undo, at least in
the instance under consideration.
Only the supreme court is vested with
the authority to say who shall and
who shall not be admitted to practice
in the courts of the state. Therefore
it is but reasonable to hold that it al
so should have the sole right to dis
bar those whom it has admitted to
practice, should the occasion ever
arise when it is deemed necessary for
the reputation of the bar and the pro-
lection of the public to revoke the
license granted to one who has proved
himself unworthy of it. Having receix-
ed the endorsement of the bar of the
state, the body presumably the most
interested in the matter, directly, it
seems strange that any n not a
member of the profession should care
to defeat the bill; yet there are those
who are working to that end. There
for which the commission has
make disbarment impossible where il
is shown that something has beer
done by a lawyer making that extreme
justifiable, while at the same
time it bestows a power where in al
sense and reason it should rest.

PERILS OF SPECULATION.

Kansas City Journal: Our present
prosperity is builaged on a firm founda-
ton. But that foundation can not
permanently stand against rash spec
ulation. Whether the present condi-
tons shall continue depends much
more largely on the people than on
the government. If they persist in
going into "get-rich-quick" schemes
instead of investing their savings con-
servatively they are certain to lose
their savings; and if the tendency to
over-speculation continues to grow, it
is only a matter of time until we shall
run upon breakers.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-02-27

Undoubtedly the gentlemen compos-
ing that body have been reading the
many admonitions the legislature has
been receiving during the last week
or so relative to the necessity for x
IRENE expedition in disposing of the
matters still in hand. With senseless
and annoying f1libustering made i'm
possible in the senate and by the X
pressions of determination to brook
no needless interference given by the
house, there is every reason for be-
lieving that the remaining days of
the eighth legislative session will be
busy and fruitful ones and that no
really m%eritorious and important
measures will fail of enactment. But
it will be necessary to make impossi-
BILE such proceedings as were enacted
in the senate last week.

THE BILL is PASSED

BY the very decisive vote OF forty
nine to twenty-one the house passed
the fair trial" bill last Wednesday
afternoon and the end came to what
has been one of the most stubbornly
contested battles ever waged in the
history of legislation in the state. by
every device known to men snre"o
in debate and we'll versed in parlla-
mentary laws and usages was IL
sought to defeat the bill, first by the
enlistment of sufficient votes IN the
| chamber in which it originated, anu
subsequently by attempting to delay
action upon it until too late to permit
it to take the regular course n reach
the executive in time to obtain ms
| signature or to be returned as dlsap-
proved. Only by a revision OF the
rules of the senate was THIS schehe
defeated and at last the bill appeared
in the house. Care had been X III
that chamber that none OF the thlhss
that occurred in the senate should oc-
cur there and before those VINO were
opposed to it could realize what had
happened the bill was submitted 1or
a final vote. What t%ranspired next
has become history.

At last a supreme court commits

far as a law creating such an institu-

been taken to prevent the commits

law specifies that whenever the work
for which the commission shall have
been created shall have been conclud-
ed the supreme court shall have the
power to discharge it's members. This
provision is a, wise one, as it reduces
the attendant expense by the creation
of an adjunct to the supreme court to
a minimum. There is much work for
such a body and the wisdom of the
new law will undoubtedly be speedily
proved, as it will clear the docket and
make possible termination of a great
deal OF long pending litigation now
encumbering the files of the court.

INcoRRIeIBLE INVESTORS.

Chicago Tribune:. Judge Grosscup
said some time ago that we ought to
"peopleize" the great industrial cor
porations of this country. BY which
he meant this: Keep a governmental
eye on them; give all their operations
the widest possible publicity; then all
will know exactly what is doing; will
have confidence in their securities and
invest their savings in them, instead
of putting their savings in banks.
The two pillars of this idea, it will
be seen, are publicity and confidence.
But is not a searching light thrown
on the publicity and confidence idea
by the recent history of "get-rich-
quick" oncern in Chicago? People
are SO anxious to invest that no
amount of lack of information deters
them. They seem to regard business
as a kind of great magic" an al
chemists crucible, an Aladdin's lamp,
a department of the occult. They
want to put money in a slot and by
some bewildering and awesome pro-
cess see dividends handed out to them
on a tray. Hence the curious fact
that to SO many of them the differ
ence between the firm that offers 4
per cent a year and the firm that Of
fers 4 per cent a month seems to be
in favor of the latter.
Nor does a burned public dread the
fire. Three years ago Chicago was
the scene of revelations similar to
those which are now taking place.
The newspapers said then: "The
game is exposed: the public is here
after safe; in vain is the net spread
in the sight of any bird" But here
came in the difference between bird
and human intelligence. The net was
again spread and investors walked
into it with as much equanimity as on
al former similar occasions. Which
drives the observer to the depressing
conclusion that the fact that people
do not invest in industrial securities
is not due to any lack of information
or lack of confidence with regard to
them, but because no industrial cor.
poration promises to pay such divi-
dends as the "get-rich-quick" con
Germs, which pretend to operate on
stock boards or race tracks say they
will pay. There are men and women
whose money can always be had by
the sharper who will offer 4 per cent
a month.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT 1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. d., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
TO suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his i%ncompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city Of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled,
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as we'll as with the masses.
MIR. Brown says:-
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that l have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years. standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. l was also treated by several of
the best doctors OF this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told I was
incurable. l was indeed in a critical condi.
ton. l could not 60 from the house alone,
as l was liable to sudden collapse. 1 tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular Use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, I am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God I am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"
