These, and many more like them,
made up what were called the blue
laws not only of Pennsylvania, but
also of several of the other states. A
man named Field. who does not be-
lieve in these old laws, but thinks they
should be enforced or repealed, APP
peared before one of the magistrates
of Philadelphia the other day and
made complaint against a man who
had kissed his wife on the previous
Sunday. His purpose was to make a
test case. 1t is said that his next move
will be against the hired organists and
choir leaders in the ultra high churches
on Easter Sunday. If that does not
bring the annulment of these laws then
all sorts of persons who violate
them will be called before mag
istrates. Philadelphia is promised
something that will cause a stir
throughout that city.

Uncle Jimmie Roberts was an
'old timer" His oldest son was

David once asked Uncle Jimmie

OR OF MESSAGE

EDITOR OF MESSAGE:
In your last issue you insert
what purpOrts to be an editorial
of an Illinois paper.
In the desperation of their cause
the attorneys with their principal,
not one attorney as usual in
taking dispositions, bnt all went to
Roodhouse, Illinois, under pre-
tense of impeaching one Of the
States witnesses, a witness who
was not even endorsed on the in
dictment as an important witness
for the State. In reporting the
trumpery of ex parte testimony as
to this witness drinking habits,
and there vas little to impeach
his reputation for veracity, why
did not this Illinois Reporter"
mention the fact testified to by one
of their witnesses. That the gang
appeared at a saloon about 5 o.
clock one morning and, coming
across Duffy, the states witness,
their principal invited him to the
bar to take a drink, no doubt in
tending to way lay him with Ii
quor and entrap him into some
statement to his discredit. Or was
there another design in this greeting
to a man they came to impeach2
Your supplemental note of an
interview with DR.. Crawford ex-
poses the character of the whole
statement.
They exhausted every means to
evade a trial. They failed on q
motion in court to exclude the
States attorney from the case. Al
last they were forced to face a
prosecution and trial. Other tao
ties had to be resOrted to.
This transaction under the mask
of an Illinois editor" is on a pan
with the Texas Scheme to blacken
the character of another witness
as a penalty for testifying in the
case. In fact, it is but a part of a
desperate game of last resort the
attorneys and detectives are paid
to play with no restraint OF
principle or honor or any Other
consideration than a criminals
necessity.

AN OUTSIDERS VIEW.
Estimate of Fearless Mis-.
souri, Official.

The following is taken from the
Philad elphia Ledger:
IfJOseph w. Folk, circuit attOr-
ney of st. Louis, has political am
billions, he will probably have lit
tie difficulty in realizing them. A
section of his party is urging his
nomination for governor of Mis-
souri,, and, tho the Democratic or
ganizatiOn of the state esteems him
as Il practical politician filter for
the lunatic asylum than the state
house, it probably would not dare
oppose the demand for Mr.. Folks
reward. 1t would not be a bad
piece of policy on the part of SEN
ator Stone, who did not escape be-
ing smircbed in the bribery cases,
to proclaim himself the special
friend and admirer OF the leader
of the fight on bribery. Should
the Democrats give MIR. Folk the
nomination, the republican leader
of Missouri declares that his party
would endorse him. In any case
the informed have little doubt
that the people of Missouri will
elect Mr.. Folk governor at the
next election if he will allow them
to do so.
Mr.. Folks rise is one of the
most interesting of recent political
phenomena. 1t is the effect solely
of successful prosecution of boo
dlers iu the st. Louis city council
and the Missouri legislature. In
the course of eighteen months
Mr.. Folk has succeeded in placing
under indictment some eighteen
councilmen, delegates and sena-
! tors.
In securing the resignation of the
lieutenant governor and in break
ing up a long established aud sue
eessful system of graft in the state
house and the city hall. The pre-
vailing venality has long been as
well known to exist as it is in GER
tain states in the East, but the
revelations made in the course of
the investigation were surprising
to the most accomplished grafters
of the country. The leader Of the
prosecution was threatened, and
it was commonly expected, would
be assassinated. He pushed the
work with nerve and irresistible
energy, nevertheless. The people
of st. Louis, in gratitude, offered
him a honse. He refused it, pro-
Tossing to have done only his duty.
In fact, Mr.. Folk has done moth
ing more than his duty but the
enthusiastic appreciation which
his efforts have received shows the
general conviction that few duties
are more important than Che
breaking up Of corrupt official rings
wherever they can be reached, and
his success shows that they can be
reached with astonishing effect by
a determined, incompatible prose
cutor.
Mr.. Folk is epigramatic, and be
has lately, in an interview, put the
case against official corruption Id
extremely vigorous languages
The greatest enemies Of the
republic to day are th e giyers and

Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?
n

The literature of medicine goes to
prove cOnclusively that duration of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which II entails.
Any factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the vie W
that Eye-strain is frequent cause of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct one beyond tho poss-
bility of doubtor cavil, it is not diff
cult to see that hope of marked relief
or of ultimate recovery is practically eX-
tended to many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have eXerted little or no
benefit
A few OF the troubles which result
directly from neglect in this particular
are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia,
Insanity and Nervous Prostitution. If
yon have any of the above troubles

Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of collie or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or physician summoned. A re- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon.
