HONEST PHYSICIAN.
Works With Himself First.


1t is a mistake to believe that ply
sicians are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use
of correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf. to tell how he made
a well man of himself with Natures

War Talk Absurd.
Stockholm, Sept. 16. - Prominent
political leaders and military authori-
ties assert that talk of war with Nor
way is absurd so far as Sweden is con.
cerned. Count Wachtmeister, the for.
eign minister, says that the suspension
OF the Karlstad negotiations for q
week in no way denoted that the stu
alton had become more aggravated. 1t
was decided at the first meeting of the
delegates, he says, that the conference
should consist of two sessions. The
second of these sessions is now taking
it's regular course.
Count Wachtmeister added that
there was no reason to doubt that the
peaceful and conciliatory spirit which
characterized the first session would
continue until the end.
Forts the Issue.
London, Sept. 16.-Dr Nansen, the

demand that the new portions of the

leaving nothing but historic ruins.
With the exception of Fredricksteen,
Norway is willing to yield the outer
line of forts.
DR.. Nansen added that it was quite
untrue that Norway had been prepar-
ing for war.
Sweden Wants Peace.
Capt. Wallenberg said:
"The only desire Of Sweden is for a
peaceful settlement. There is no rea-
son for war. The question of the de-
molition of the forts is the only one
which could possibly occasion a rup-

THURSDAY, DECEMBER ss, 1905.
A MATTER OF INTEREST.

There seems to be quite a difference of opinion among statesmen in Wash ineton as t6Hhe effect that the convic- ton of sehator will have on his right to retain his office. There are those who hold that If a Senator is convicted of q crime under which he could be sent to the penitentiary his seat is thereby vacated and he is disqualified from ever again holding an office of trust. honor or profit under the United States. The discussion comes up in connection with Senator Burton. who has been convicted, but has appealed to the Supreme Court. Many hold that If the verdict of the lower Tt is up- held the Senator's seat will be vacated without without further action.
 On the other hand there are others, among them Senators Spooner and Bailey. who take a different view. They hold that the statute ich bars a fell on from holding office cannot apply in case like this one, because the Con stitdtion of the United States has made each House the sole judge of the cleo tion, qualifications and and return of its own members; consequently. even if the higher court sustains the lower one, and Burton is sentenced to the peni- tentiary, he will continue to be Sena- tor until the end of the term for which he was elected, unless he dies or re- signs. These Senators insist that the Senate cannot afford to surrender to any other tribunal the right or power Izs ofice.
 While this may be merely polemical at present it is easy to see that 1t may also become an important question. Let us suppose that Burton's sentence is confirmed and that he goes to the penitentiary. Then let us suppose that the State of Kansas insists that his scat is vacant, and appoints or elects a man to fill the vacancy: then the ques- tion becomes live one, and it will be directly up to the Senate to face and dispose of it. Of course that body might end it by declaring the seat va cant and admitting the new Senator, but there would doubtless be some among them who would agree with Kansas that the crime and conviction vacated the place. while others would hold that the seat could not be vacant unless the Senate officially declares it SO
 But there is another point which may be of interest. If such discussion as we have suggested should come up there are certain to be some Senators who will argue that a Senator should resign whenever grave charges have been preferred against him, without waiting for a trial and conviction. and they are likely to go further and ar que that if a member should refuse to resign under such circumstances he should be expelled. This kind of argu- ment will bear pretty hard on some Senators who have heretofore stood high in that body. and who would feel themselves hinted at, to say the least of it Several interesting points may come from the Burton ease.

Not R Good Way.

New 1ork Times.
 It is the Presidents habit to have 1 his way, even when Congress resists. l When Mir. Roosevelyt was in Chicago last May he made q speech in which he said a good deal about the Canal Com mission. From an editorial article of The Chicago Tribune of May II we transcribe an interesting account of the manner in which one passage of that speech was spoken:
 The President said: I wanted Con- gress to give me powor to remodel the Commission. It did not do it. Then he paused, and with an indescribable expression of amusement, which proved to be infectious throughout his audi ence. added: I remodeled 1t anyhow. . He paused again, and turning to MT. addressing this part of his remarks, he said in stage whisper-'purely in the exercise of my executive functions.'
 Only those who heard the Presidents S speech could appreciate the full signi- ncancer of his phrase, I remodeled it anyhow There was everything in the expression and comparatively little in the words, as they were modified by the subsequent and qualifying phrase, purely in the ,Nerciso of my executive functions.

GETTING AWAY FROM IT.

It has been but a short while since the newspa pers of the country were warm with arguments. pro and con, on brought out by the case of Mrs. Rogers, in Vermont. Many strong editorials were written in condemnation of the proposed act. It was argued by many | who favor capital punishment on gen. eral principles that exception should be made in the case of a woman. On the other hand. it was argued with equal force that the law in order to be just must be impartial, and that courts can not afford to discriminate in favor of criminal on account of sex Two women in New Jersey have recently been sentenced to death and the whole matter will he threshed over.
 One effect of this discussion has been to bring out strong sentiment against capital punishment. and some of the soundest reasoners am best writers of the country are decidedly in favor of it's total abolition. There is much to be said on this side of the question. Almost 5000 years ago the doctrine of lex talionis" was handed down to the Jews as part of the law by which they should be governed. Life for life, tooth for tooth. eye for eye" etc, was the severe code under which they were commanded to live, and that law pre- vailed.
 In many ways mankind has modified and softened this severe code. but in the one item of life for life it Is kept up. If one person should destroy the eye or the tooth of another no court would sentence the offender to lose an eye or tooth as a punishment for the offence. It Is only in the legal taking of life that the law given to the Israeli ites is maintained. For all minor of fences than murder different punish nients are substituted. but we still take the life >ve cannot give back.
 For centuries the trend of human thought and human civilization has been away from the theory and prac- | tice of legalized life taking. even for murder. Tn the older nations of earth there were quite a number of offences for which the death sentence was im- 
 crimes have been removed from the capital list until now death Is rarely imposed for anything but wilful mur- der and it Is gravely questioned whether this crime should form an ex- ception. Humanity and Christian civ- 1 ilization are gradually leading us away from the lex talionis theory of punish ment, and there is little doubt that this l also will be abandoned.
 The conviction is growing upon the world that society can protect itself and punish crime without taking life, and that conviction is likely to domi- nate all civilized people. Even where there Is no doubt of guilt the taking of the criminals life seems inhuman, but that is not all We have all of us known or read of cases where a man has been executed and afterwards it was established beyond possibility of doubt that he vas innocent. The man was murdered by the law and no hu- man power can make amends for such mistake. We have also heard or
