lone Touch of Nature Makes the
 Whole World Kin"

When rooster finds big fat worm he calls all tbe hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something ex- ceptionally good he wants all his friends and neighbors to share tbe benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain Cough Remedy writes letters to the manufacturers for publication, thai others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain relief Behind every one of these letters is a warn hearted wish of the writer to be of use to some one else.

IS ADVERSE
TO MOVER
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
HE CANNOT SECURE DAM
AGES FROM PEABODY.

Washington, Jan. 18.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided against former President Meyer
of the Western Federation Of Miners
in the damage suit brought by him
against former Governor Peabody Of
Colorado, on account Of Meyers i'm
prisonment on the governors orders
because of his alleged connection with
riots at Telluride, Colo. In 1904.
In the course of his decision Justice
Holmes said:
I'VE must assume that the governor
had a right under the state constitu-
ton and laws to call out troops as was
held by the supreme court Of the
state. The constitution Is supple
mented by an act providing that when
an invasion of, or Instruction in the
state is made or threatened, the gov
ernor shall order the national guard
to repel or suppress the same.
THAT means that he will make the
ordinary use of the soldiers to that
end; that he may kill persons who re-
sist and. of course. that he may use
the milder methods of Selling bodies
of those whom he considers to stand
in the way Of restoration Of peace.
Such arrests are not necessarily for
punishment, but are by way of precau-
tion to prevent the exercise of hostile
power. SO long as such arrests are
made in good faith and In the honest
belief that they are needed in order to
head the instructor off, the governor
is the final judge and cannot be sub
jected to an action after he Is out of
office or the ground that he had no
reasonable ground for his belief
when It comes to decision by the
head of the state upon a matter in
volving its life, the ordinary rights of
individuals must yield to what he
deems the necessities Of the moment
Public danger warrants the substitu-
tion Of executive process for judicial

was the plea set up in the case of Toy
Toy, Umatilla Indian. who resided
in the state of washington and who is
now held in prison at McNeirs island,

the charge of murder. The case was
decided against him. He contended
that he holds lands as an allottee I'M
der the government system, he is a
citizen of the United States and of
the state of Oregon, and that, there
fore. his trial should have been con-
Quoted in the state courts and not in
the United States circuit court, by
which he was convicted. He accord
ingly asked the United States cir
cult court to release him on n writ of
habeas corpus, and when that petit
ton was refused, appealed the case
to the supreme court. An opinion by
Justice Harlan affirmed the lower

the grand jury in this city tomorrow in
connection with the Panama canal IL

Washington from Augusta where he
has been visiting with his brother and
at once called on President Roosevelt
for short conference. He said that
he did not discuss the details of the
matter with the president and did not
know the inside of the case. Mr.. Taft
said he had received a request from
the district attorney to appear here to-
morrow afternoon and that he had not
been formally subpoenaed He did not
know, he said, whether Douglas Rob-

also had been requested to appear be-

Attorney General Bonaparte re-

nothing to say regarding the sub

he expected to make a statement on
the subject within few days and
pending that statement he declined TO
discuss the case. The same reticence
was observed at the office of United
States District Attorney Baker.
