General Dem and

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufact by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

IS EDMUNDS
ACT IN FORCE I?
The Blanche Martin Case to
Be Decided This
Morning.

1t is probable that decision in the
Blanche Martin case will be handed
down by the Supreme Court this morn,
ing. The case is a very important one.
and has attracted considerable atten,
tion.
The woman who gives her name to
the case was fined in the police court
under the Territorial statute against
adultery. Her appeal goes to the Su-
preme court on the ground that the act
of Congress known as the Edmunds Act,
covering the same subject as the Terri.
torial act, is exclusive in its operation,
and that therefore the Territorial act
is imperative and void.
The Attorney-General' department
takes the position that the Edmunds
Act is not in force here, but was pass
ed to meet particular state of affairs
in the Territory of Utah.
The County Attorneys department
takes the ground that both laws are in
force here, and that the law under
which jurisdiction is first taken or un-
der which judgment is first secured,
controls in the individual case.
The Captain Carter case, which in
volved question of Territorial VS.
Federal jurisdiction, was thought by
many to touch on the same grounds, and
the decision in that case was read with
much interest by lawyers to see if in
that case the court had said anything
to indicate what its decision might be
in the Blanche Martin case. So far as
anyone could discern, however, there
was not anything in that decision, the
court very carefully keeping away from
anything that might appear like com
mon principle in the two things.

d. J. Campau has taken the defeat

thrust somewhat into the background

him by Judge Connolly and other lead
ers OF the local Democracy. This
fight undoubtedly reacted TO d certain
extent upon Mayor Thompson, Cam
pau having hundreds OF friends who
resented his treatment.
IL think that The Times summed uD
the national situation concisely and

fess any false sorrow, however.

comment.

To the end Of reducing the great

this Il will have the backing of the
