PembertOn Bill

Lawyers all over the state
declare the Pemberton bill is
not worth the paper that it is
written on, and aver that the
courts wilt be compelled to de-
clare it unconstitutional. This
is d trick which legislators re-
sort TO dispose OF troublesome
men aud uuwise measures, but
the too frequent use to which
the practice is being out reflects
ON the courage and sincerity of
the men elected 10 our legisla-
tive bodies The courts were
not esta blished to do our legis.
lating for us, aud the practice
is not alone unfair to them, but
is responsible for much of the
sO-called encroachmeuts on the
part of our judiciary. 1t may
be questioned if a public servant
does not violate the spirit of
his obligation when, to avoid
possible friction, he votes for a
measures which he believes to
be unconstitutional. The game
of politics is permissible until it
is played at the expense of the
fundamental principles of free
government. The principle be-
meath the Pemberton bill, aside
from any interest it may affect
is dangerous ~and subversive,
however righteous its intent.
The defeated excise bill was
worse Gully because the scope of
it's operations was larger

The Newspaper Business

Many men who never tried
the experiment. observes the
Springfield, Qll.,) Register
think they know better how to
run a newspaper than a trained
journalist, who has earned his
diploma by years of application
and study. II is wonderful how
many people think it is dead
easy" to edit and manage a
newspaper, But when some
men who have had no expert
ence try it, they find out their
mistake
For instance, there is John
II. Walsh. of Chicago, who it
was fuuno, when mis- accounts
were examined into. had put
$3.50, 600 in the Chronicle in eight
mouths. The Chronicle, when
these figures were published by
the Inter-Ocean, retorted that
the Inter-Ocean had just put
BLANKET mortgage on it's entire
holdings for 100000, this
amount going to the estate of
the late Charles T. Yerkes.
This leads the Joliet News to
remark that every man who is
seized with an itch for scrib
bling is not calculated to make
money in the newspaper bpsi-
ness.
H. Il. Kohlsaat was a born
banker. He was also a good
politician and manager. He
conceived the idea that the Lord
also intended him for a journal,
fist. So he bought an interest
in the Inter-Ocean. quarreled
with William Penn Nixon, sold
out bought the Herald and be
gan to he Napoleon, After Z
few years he went out, owing
$4,000, 900.

Get Rid Of Indigestion aad Things VIII
Look Bright and Joyous.
Everything looks gloomy and
dark to the person suffering
with indigestion.
Until the pre- scription known
as Mi'o-na stomach tablets was
put up in popular torn as a
safe aud effective cure for sick
headache, indigestion and stom-
ach troubles, the "blue devils"
made everything look dark,
gloomy and depressing.
After a few days use of Mi-o-
ia the sick headache, dizzy feel
ing, drowsiness, bad taste in
the mouth, distress after eating
all these symptoms of a weak
stomach-will disappear and
with perfect digestion there
will be a joyous and beautiful
outlook.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are
sold only in a neat metal box
convenient for the vest pocket
and cost so cents. L. M. Wood
has seen so many cures made
by Mi-o-na stomach tablets that
he give a guarantee with every
box that the money will be re-
funded if the remedy fails to
give satisfaction.

A. r. Johnson, who was buried in a
cave-in of the No. 2 sewer at Eleventh

as told exclusively in The Argus, suf-
fered from no serious injuries as q re-
suit of the accident He was taken 10
his home, 52S Twentieth street, in tho
ambulance Immediately after he was
removed from the ditch, and a physi-
clan summoned to attend him. His
injuries consist merely of bruises and
cuts from the pressure of the pieces
of boards and the dirt which pinioned
him in the trench 1t was nearly two
hours after Johnson was caught in the
dirt before he was released. The dirt
was partly dug away. and rope fas
tened under the mans arms, when he
was forcibly pulled from the hole. The
dirt and boards covered Johnson VI
to his neck, and his rescuers feared
that second cave-in might be starte
and completely bury the workman
His escape from being entirely burie
alive was a very narrow one.
