PURI1C OPINION RULES.
Justice Johnston Declares 1t Above
Juries, Courts and Legislatures.

w A Johnston, chief justice of the
Kansas supreme court, addressed the
members of the Y. NJ. G. A. in Gem
NELL Hall last night on the subject.
government by Public Opinion His
address was an interesting one and
showed how in many respects the in
depreciation of written law is based on
popular opinion.
one of the leading factors in moulding
public opinion. He commended the
lawyers in the Thaw case on their
success in influencing public opinion
in favor of their client.
The speaker told of instances or
how one man could reach such a stage
in the respect of his fellow men that
his opinion would be accepted as the
popular opinion of the people This,
he asserted, was the position of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the Industrial and
political life of the country. when
President Roosevelt declared his posi-
ton on the control of corporations on
trusts, on meat inspection, on pure
foods and other subjects. the whole
country, and even the senate, con-
Cured in the will of the president"
Another phase of recent legislation
on which Mr. Johnston dwelt at length
was the Kansas legislature. Mr.. john
ston spoke favorably of the legislature
for their action in this regard. How
ever, the speaker did not find anything
else upon which to express favorable
opinion of the legislature
The voice of the people in public
affairs was treated at length Mr..
Johnston told how the movement to
elect senators by direct vote was be-
coming more prominent every year
and how the electoral system had be-
come subservient to the popular vote.
Legislatures, however, can never be
successful where 1t is carried beyond
public opinion, and when it is an
tagonistic of public opinion it is al
ways attended by bad results. The
lack of popular support of a law,
however. is no excuse for failure of
the officer to do that which the law
enjoins. The constitution and the law

GIRL BABY'S
AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse In Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED

tOur little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right: But she still grew worse: Doc
tor No. said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try. it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one OF her
eyes. Of course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. / saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, SO went and
purchased a set of Cutlcura Remedies,
which cost me 81, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. OF course 1t could not re-
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time I am confident that
it would have saved the eye: We think
there is no remedy SO good for any skin
