CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Portland Citizen Knows
 How Sure They Are

Nothing uncertain about the work of Deans Kidney Pills. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testi- mony. Such evidence should convince the most s6eptiral doubter. Read the following statement:
 D. D. CoTey, whose place of residence is at 4SS East Thirteenth street, Port land, Orego-, says: q have been a great sufferer from carbuncles or tumors for years. Every once in a while they appeared, not only one at a time, but broke out in different places, mostly on my arms or about my neck. Three years ago l suffered from a num- Der of them, which broke out almost at the same time. l was treated by a physician and he stated that l would never get entirely rid of them unless ] had them lanced and the core taken out. He operated on them and I was not bothered with any more until last fall. when one made its appearai ce. l came to the conclusion that my blood was out of order, and that the kidneys were not performing their functions right, and got a box of Doan'S Kidney Pills, taking them as directed, and they did all that was claimed for them. On previous occasions when one appeared 1t was followed by others, but DOan's Kidney Pills checked them. About two weeks ago one broke out on my arm and I again resorted to DOan's Kidney Pills, and they prevented others from appearing. l can cheerfully recom- mend DOau's Kidney Pills, for l also know others who have used them with very satisfactory results"

The papers state that there is scarce ly any betting being done at the pre- ent time on the outcome of the national election which will take place in No vember. Just after the St. Louis con- vention had completed its work, money was offered ID several of the large east ern cities at the rate of two to one with the odds on republican success. That odds was soon dissipated, how ever, by the subsequent turn taken by political events, and the betting money has now nearly all gone into hiding. However, it is probably that any Park

UNJUST CRITICISM

The Seattle Post-Iutelligencer critl- cises adversely Judge Parker for, as chief judge of the New York court of appeals, writing the majority opinion ofbis court wherein he held that, in the absence of legislative enactment, the law gave no relief to beautiful young woman, who sought to procure an injunction restraining a manutactur- ing firm from the use of her portrait for advertising purposes The Seattle paper thinks the decision was that of conservative, narrow cease lawyer, and not one of an eminent jurtst. It holds that if there were no law for the woman's relief, a court of breadth would have written a law making decis- ion.
 One of the dangers that threaten the country is the tendency of some of our courts to do the very thing which the Post-Intelligencer con Iemns the New York iurists for not doing. Under the scheme of government that obtains in the United States and iu the separate states the congress and the state legis- latures are given the authority to make laws. The duties of the courts are to construe these laws. It was never in- tended that the courts should usurp the powers of the legislatures. The decision of the New York court of ap- peals resulted in the passage of a law by the legislature of that state prOvid- ing the remedy that the woman who desired to suppress the use of her pho tograph attempted to secure from a cour and there is the proper place for laws concerning public policy as well as all other laws to originate.
 The disposition of some of the courts in the land and some of our eXecgtiyes to assume the powers that of right be- long to the legislative branch of gov ernment is a menace to the liberties of the people. If we permit the courts 10 usurp the power of writing laws into their decisions, or if we permit presi- dents and governors to legislate by ez- ecutive order or proclamation, We de- prive the people of the right to decide upon the laws under which they will live to the extent of the usurpatiOn.
 This is a question that concerns Alaska a great deal The people of this district are living under conditions where the lines distinguishing the du- ties of the the law making, the execu- tive and the judicial branches of the government are not clearly defined, and the result has been anything but satisfactory.
 There may be good rea'ons why Judge Parker should not be elected president of the United States, but his refusal as a court judge to assume pow CTS that the constitution of his state iu- tended to be exercised by the legislature is not among them.

der the prctense of intending to purchaser
would be given d number Of rides about

OF one OF the best known automobile.
misunderstanding companies, succeeded, nc
cordipg to the story, In inducing the doc
tor to 70 on d ride With them and When
they had reached u remote country road.
some distance from Washington they
rot him out of tho vehicle under some
prcteat,a and then rode away az high
speed. leaving him standing In tho road
with the shades of night falling about
him. They came to Washingt ton and guye

story, which the doctor says was untrue
} In many particulars, and which was
printed. another name being used instead
