Judge Alton B. Parker, in his ad- dress of acceptance, said: Ut becomes desirable to call attention to the fact that the people, in whom all power re- sides, have seen fit, through the medi- um of the constitution, to limit the governmental power conferred and to say to departments created by it: Thus far shalt thou go and no far ther.' To secure the ends sought the people have by the constitution sep arated and distributed among the three departments of government-the ex- ecutive, legislative and judhcial-cer- tain powers, and it is the duty of those administering each department so to act as to preserve, rather than to destroy, the potency of the CO., ordinate branches of the government, and thus secure the exercise of all the powers conferred by the people. Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Will liam c. Jarvis, touching the perpetuity of OUT institutions. written many years after he had retired to private life. said: If the three powers of our gov eTnment maintain their mutual inde- pendence of each other, 1t may last long, but not so if either can assume the authority of the other.' It must be confessed that in the course of our history executives have employed DOW. CTS not belonging to them; statutes have been passed that were expressly forbidden by the constitution, and stat utes have been set aside as unconstitu, tfonal when it was difficult to point out the provisions said to be offended against ill their enactment; all this has been done with good purpose, no doubt, but in disregard, nevertheless, of the fact that ours is a government of laws, not of men, deriving it's Just powers from the consent of the gov erned.' If we would have our govern- ment continue during the ages to come, for the benefit of those who shall succeed us, we must ever be on our guard against the danger of usurpation of that authority which re- sides in the whole people"

E'This,'' he said calmly, as he produced his handkerchief and wiped his face, 'is a striking evidence of what I have always maintained that pro-slayery arguments are un- sound.
 The growing boy should be taught that tobacco is hurtful to him physi- cally and mentally, and should be properly trained by his parents to be lieve that what they tell him is true and for his ultimate welfare This places the responsibility of initiating all such reforms where it properly be- longs.

 The officials of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad may not safely be accredited with all the virtues to which man is heir, but 1t is just as we'll in the long run to treat them fairly. An instance of the press not doing so was that of charg- ing that the order had been given not to await the loading of luggage if leaving time had arrived. What the order did say was that express pack ages should be delivered on time i'll order that the public should not be discommoded.-New Haven Register. New York state is full of cities and towns of classic nomeclature.

Hill announces in way which will compel the acceptance of | his words as candid and fully intend ed, that after the end of the present l political campaign, his activity as a political leader will cease. He has been necessarily "in politics" for more than thirty years, and has wielded great power in his state, and as a senator at Washington, where all his | opponents willingly acknowledged his remarkabel intellectual ability. His present announcement is an asslir- ance that in the event of Judge Par ker's election MT Hill will not be a member of his cabinet. It will do away with good deal of political ''rag- g-chewing'' on the part of the re- publicans and also on the part of those newspaper proprietors, each of whom is displaying a feverish desire to run Judge Parker's campaign, and | to take to himself the chief credit for success in the event that the demo- cratic candidate shall be elected.- | Hartford Times.

COIN STOPPED WEDDING.
Took Good Money to Satisfy the
 License Clerk

Took Good Money to Satisfy the
 License Clerk.
 He was from Benjestown. He tied his mule in front of the court house and dismounted with an effort 1t required no one deeply verseu Ill the ways of life to recognize that most of his life had been spent in the cotton fields. After leaving hIs anl- nal tied to a post he looked slIspicl- ously about and inquired of a uy- stander where he could secure mar riage license. He hobbled into tne room. His head was covered with the snows of perhaps eighty winters. An old antebel1um negro of type that is fast disappearing-so the keen eyed clerk sized him up.
 With the instinct of long experience George Weatherford, county license inspector, knew his business.
 ''Dan Shurley, suh." was the name, and Susan Washington, suh," was the bride. Dan said he didn't know his age, but declared that his master told him that he was "foAhty yeahs old de year after de s'render, in Christmas monf." 1.-Two and half is the fec ; said the official. Dan turned about smiling. He had the money as ne GIOuSlIl I1c HUI uIStIC LWO into the matrimonial lottery and this was the third. In reply to a question he answered that his bride was Of age.
 ! From a crevice deep in his oyerails pocket he pulled out the money and placed it on the desk, at the same time taking hold of the license. ."One of these dollars is counterfeit" he was informed. It was plainly so, and required no government inspector to verify that fact. Dan was cha grined. He realized that no license could be secured without the fee. It was all of his money. His lip fell, tears bedimmed his old and weak eyes and a look of sorrow crossed his face. He gave a plaintive sigh, looked appealingly at the clerk, but he saw that he must have a s'good" dollar to get the license. Not a word did he say, but, turning around more stopped than before, he hobbled out, the picture of bitter disappointment
 ''I'ze goin' to Benjes' to git anoder dollah,'' was his reply to the question of an inquisitive reporter. And Dan mounted his mule to go back and tell Susan of his hard luck.-Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

Relief for Pain.

Mir Henry Honegger, who lives at 8\Winchester avenue, city, makes statement that is worthy of belief. He says: 'I am glad the X-Ray Doctors have helped me so soon after begin ming treatment, for it gives me great confidence in them and their methods. My trouble was rheumatism and neu- ralgia in the left arm, mostly in the elbow. It had pained me very much for over five weeks. and I could get no cure from the medicine and salve 1 was using. I read of some cures made by the Radio-Chemfc Physicians, and went to them for an X-Ray examina

Chest Pains Cured.

Mir Harry Bauwens, who is a we'll known young man, being lamp inspec- tor for the Conn Railway and Light ing Go, resides at 365 Walnut street, city. He knows from experience that the X-Ray Doctors are reliable, for they have relieved him of troublesome symptoms. He says: "Some eight months ago I was taken with severe pains in my chest, which, as they grew, no better from the medicine took, gave me considerable anxiety. A dry cough soon fixed itself on me, and lost my appetite. CataTrh of the nose and throat, which was the cause of my distress, was another thing with which l suffered. Liver trouble made me tired in the morning on arising. In this condition I went to the Radio

Miss Gladys Burke.

This bright little girl, residing at 16 East Main street, city, who is tEe daughter of the attractive and clever actress known to the stage as Miss Myrtle Edwards, was greatly afflicted with catarrh of the head and throat. The Radio -Chemic Physicians have cured her. She says: ''I was troubled with catarrh for a long time, and could not breathe through my nose at all. It was in my throat, also, and I was very nervous. I heard about the K Ray Doctors, and how many people they had cured. So I went and took their treatment, and have been cured by them (the Radio Chemic Physi- cians). They did not hurt me and was not afraid.'

BOSTON TIP FOR THIRSTY.

The gentleman with the reddish nose and Philistine aspect should not be of tended if on his arriving at Boston a booklet with aN title page something like this should be handed to him:
 The
 Rhetoric |
 of Holiday Booze
 for the use of
 Strangers
 in Boston
 by
 Judge Lemons
 The gift is kindly meant by the wine and spirit people.
 It comes about in this way: On Sundays and certain holidays certain liquor may not be sold to thirsty folk in Boston unless they are guests of a hotel.
 The domiciliaTy process is similar to that of New York. The same ele- ments enter-a chair, table, a sand 'wioh and stein. But the order is Il thing of wondro1ls exactness. Fail ure to comprehend 1t has been the cause of cruel suffering to the bibu- lous stranger.
 On the last no-liquor holiday a New York man entered hotel there, seat ed himself in a room where a hundred people were eating and drinking and called for "a glass of beer and sand wich." He had heard that this con stitlted a legal meal
 The waiter looked at him sharply and said:
 You didn't ask for 1t right. Can't serve you"
 The New Yorker sllrmised that his error was in asking for the beer first and hastened to transpose the fornl- ula.
 "It's too late,'' replied the waiter. s'You didn't ask for it right the first time. and you can't be served here. Emmons'd have OUT license quick. Uu- derstand that this is the particularest town in the country"
 The thirsty man argued, but only to be ordered to leave by the head waiter who, however, unbent enough to say: "When you go into place in this burg on such day ask for your sand wich first or you'll go thirsty" It is even so to-day. But Boston is altruistic as we'll as rhetorical. The thirsty stranger is ted-by some-and hence the information booklet '"The Rhetoric of Holiday Booze"

ACCOMPLISHMENTS LIVE LONG.
Longevity the Rule with Them Here tofore.

Longevity the Rule with Them Here
 tofore.
 The office of vice president may not be the most important under the American form of government, but il. one particular, at least, it has a great advantage for. inc1lmbents. They live long afterwa14d.
 There is only one surviving presi- dent of the United States-Grover Cleveland, who was born in 1887. There are two surviving yice-presi- dents, AdIai D. Stevenson, born in 1885, and Levi P. Morton, born in 1924.
 Abraham Lincoln was 56 when he died. but Hannibal Hamlin, elected on the same ticket with him as vice president, died in 1891 at the age of 82. MT Lincoln and Mir Hamlin were born in the same year 1909.
 Willard Fillmore when he died was A; George NJ. Dallas was 72, John Tyler was T, Martin VanBuren was 80, Elbridge Gerry 80, George Clinton, who came from Ulster county, where Judge Parker resides, Was 72. Aaron Burr was S0, Thomas Jefferson was S3. John Adams was 90.
 These vice-presidents of the United States are examples of the longevity of those who have had that office, though of course, there have been q few vice-presidents who did not at tain old age. One of these vice-presi- dents was John c. Breckenridge of Kentucky, who afterward ran for president and was defeated.
 The duties of the vice-president are neither onerous nor vexatfous He has practically no responsibility, eX- cept in the case where a vacancy arises in the office of president. Un- like the lieutenant-governor of state, he is never called upon or auth orized to act in the absence of his chief, even in routine official affairs.
 The youngest president at ln- auguration was 30; the oldest was 69.
