Don't be deceived by the wine prep

You cannot get the active principles un-

Cod Liver Oil is not offensive wher
properly emulsifed. The disagreeabls
features are due to the use Of cheap fish
oil or the lower grades of cod liver oil
which have not passed through the sew
eral stages Of refinement. Magee's Emul
sion is most palatable because it contains
pure oil from fresh cod hvers and alss
because the malt disguieses what httl'

Times is right in its contention, for
the present method of making laws
is a little less than scandalous. We
are inclined to doubt the correctness
of, the Times position, however, and
must hold to the latter theory until
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-08-22

legislative bills long after the legis-
lature has adjourned seems to be a
good one and the wonder is that il
was not brought up before. 1t is a
fine point for the courts to settle.
The constitution in Article 5, par
agraph z, says: IF any bill shall not
be returned by the governor, within
five days Sunday excepted) after it
shall have been presented to him,
the same rhall be a law in like man
ner as if Le had signed it, unless the
legislature by their adjournment
prevent it's return, in which case it
shall not be a law"
There are two ways of taking this.
The Trenton Times and some others
hold that this refers to all bills,
whether the governor eventually
signs them or does not sign them. If
the legislature is still in session and
a bill is kept by the governor five
days without him signing it, it is
claimed that it becomes a law, but
if the legislature has adjourned and
thus makes it impossible to returl
the measure, whether SIGNED or
UNSIGNED, it cannot become a law.
AS the governor has just disposed
of his three last bills dumped upon
his desk by the legislature, which
adjourned five or six months ago,
according to II Interpretation of the
constitution, the bills CANNOT be
ONE laws even if he has SIGNED
them for the constitution says that
if the legislature by it's adjournment
prevents their return they shall not
become laws.
In considering this question the
Times has evidently lost sigt Of the
fact that the constitution in this par
ticular, has reference to bills NOT
signed by the governor. II the leGis-
lature is in session, the fact that the
governor keeps the bill five days
without signing it, 1.-The same shall
become a law in like as If he
had signed it," But if the Legislature
has adjourned before the five day!
have expired, then the bill, which
he does NOT sign, shall not be ;
law" In all this, however, only bill
which the governor does NOT sign
are referred to. If the legislature il
in session, an UNSIGNED bill be
comes a law within five days aftel
the governor receives it. If the legis
lature is not in session an unsigned
bill does NOT become a law at thu
expiration of five days. This, how
ever, does not say that bills which
the governor SIGNS shall not be
come laws.
In other words If a bill reaches
the governors desk and the legis.
lature is still in session, he has but
five days in which to consider it OF
else it becomes a law anyway, but
If it reaches his desk and the legis-
lature adjourns at once, the govern
or can have as much time as he de-
sires to consider it, for the measur
then does not become a law within
five days.
Which one of these interpretations
is right is for the coutr to deter
mine. In the interest of all con-
cerned it is to be hoped the Trenton
