OF THE INJUNCTION DATES
BACK TWO HUNDRED
Years Before.the Chistian Era was
Bestowed Upon Roman Tribute
and has been Used Since that
Time to Suppress the Workers.

1t is the power that some two
hundred years before Christian era
was bestowed upon the Roman
tribune. His Office was really to
protect the weak against the
strong. He was elected for one
year, and his person was sacred.
This Office was in force for more
than two hundred years, and final
~ degenerateu into irresponsible
absolutism.
AS long as the tribune was in
Office he could prevent Il case from
being tried or a law from being
executed.
After some years C:rSar became
tribune for life and then the law
went to pieces.
1t war resurrectcd in tile time of
Charles l., who ut that time had
the power TO Judge, the power to
execute. This power descended
from King to king, and when some
thing happened or was about to
happen, and there was no law to
prevent, they made an appeal to
the king toB use his sovcreing
power to aid them, and he did SO
at first, and later on he allowed
his chancellor!to do it.
The court of chancery was Il
court of conscience-it was purely
and simply Irresponsible personal
government as distinct from the
American form of government,
which is government by law, and
the only distinction between law
and equity in England, so they
called it chancery.
1T was a peculiar law. In
England wher two men are fight
ing, and one has the others head
under his arm, jnst punching him,
he is said to have his head Sin
chancery.'
The man who went to chancery
court had about rs little chance Of
Justice as the man who goes to in
junction judges now. The judge
first determines what is wrong; and
then he determines what is evil
dcnce; then he constitutes himself
jury and determines how much
penalty shall be applied.
The right or wrong of the mat
ter is wholly determined by the
whims and prejudiccs of the Judge
or chancellor

Common Sense
And a Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia,
Stomach Trouble and Make
Meals A Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a
trike and mass meetings of indig.
alton are he'd all over your body.
then it is that you should sit up
and take notice.
1t is clearly and only a question
of common sense-is this thing
called Dyspepsia. Take away, by
abuse, over eating, excesses and
high living, the things which the
stomach needs and you have dys-
pepsia and Indigestion; then other
maladies follow these-this is COM
mon sense
The stomach is willing enough
but you won't let II do lbs work.
You take away the materials which
are so necessary for II to use.
Give back these materials and
dyspepsia and indigestion fee ana
the whole machinery Of man begins
slowly to move and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
orce, fluids for its digestive glands
punishment and power. All these
necessities 1t takes from the blood
dyspepsia gives nothing to the
lood, the blood gives nothing To
he stomach.
This is common sense also, pure
simple and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
ommon sense pressed by high pow
into tablets. In these tablets
re powerful essences which go in
o the stomach digest food, stop
