Among the state officers to be chos-
en- at this years election is that OF
Judge of the supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the expiration of
the term Of Chief Justice d. Newlin
Fell. The Office of judge of the su-
preme court Is in some respects the
most important in the state. The term
is twenty-one years, more than five
times that of any other state official.
The supreme court has greater power
and authority than any other part Of
the state government. AS its name in
dicates, 1t is supreme" On constitu-
tional grounds It can set aside the acts
of the legislative and executive
branches of the government and on an
appeal reverse the decision of any 9th
er court in the state. 1t is the final ar
bitter of all disputes, whether 1t is a
question of the power of the legisla-
ture or the governor or of any OF the
great questions of trade, commerce
and industry which become the sub
ject of litigation.

The Reason Fewer People Take "Salts."

We find that salts and other
harsh physics Is becoming less
every year because more and
more people are using Rexall Or
derlies, which we and they firm
ly believe to be the best bowel
remedy ever made. They taste
so much like candy that even the
children like them. AT the same
time they act so easily and natur-
ally that there Is no purging,
grlplng or pain. They promptly
remove the constipation and, by
soothing and strengthening the
bowels, make 1t less liable to oc-
cur again. We have the utmost
faith in them. We know what
they are made of and the pleas
ant, beneficial results that alw ays
follow their use.
You needn't take our word for
1t. If Rexall 0rderlles don't help
you-if they don't entirely re-
heve all your bowel troubles
come back and tell US and we'll
give back your money. In vest
pocket boxes; 10c, 25c, SOC.
You can buy Rexall Ord erhes
only at the Rexall Stores, and in
this town only of us.

sheer benevolence, and has been do.

the parents of the children serve to
exc out his pension.

Bill of Riuhts.

The bill of rights is declaration
Of fundamental principles deemed ba'
sic to the Constitution itself and bor
rowed from the English bill of rights
of 1859. When the Constitution of the
United States was framed and sub.
mitted to the people It did not have
a bill of rights and it was 80 harshly
criticized on this account that its
friends promised to incorporate or add
such a declaration, and the first ten
amendments to the Constitution,
made after the main instrument was
adopted. were in fulflllment OF this
promise. All the State Constitutions
now have bills of rights, practically
Identical with one another.

Books OF High Authority.

Few men of his generation have go
enriched the literature OF the 'aw,
either In the quantity or quality OF
their contributions. All OF his books
are considered OF high authority AMI
are quoted in all the courts through
out the country, while his work on the
Interpretation Of Statutes" is OF In
iernational authority aud is cited in
the courts Of all English speaking
countries. His books are found IN
every public law library and In thou
sands of the collections of private
practitioners in Pennsylvania and 9TH
er states. Judge Endlich Is, therefore,
constant guide and counselor in the
practice and Interpretation of the law
in many courts, covering wide ex'
tent Of territory.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1912-04-02
Has Tried 5000 Cases.

Judge Endlich was first elected to
the bench in 1889 and has been twice
reelected, having a service to his
credit of twenty-four years, and has
established in that time a record of
industry and of sound authoritative
Interpretation of the law that have
supplemented and enhanced the high
reputation gained by his legal author
ship. In this time he has tried up
wards of 5000 cases, has heard nearly
5000 cases in the argument courts and
written and filed nearly 1900 opinions,
record of judicial diligence surpass-
ed by few, if any, courts anywhere.
These opinions aggregate nearly 1000
pages of exposition of every phase OF
the law, and added to the upwards Of
1000 pages embraced in his various
books and writings make total of
about 1000 pages or approximately
100000 words as his total contribu-
tion to the fixed and current litera-
ture of the law.

A New Way Of Choosing.

In the early history of the state the
judges of the supreme court were ap-
pointed by the governor. Later the Of
flee was made elective and they were
chosen by the people from the nomi-
nees of political parties, made at state
conventions.
This year, for the first time, the ex-
pertinent is to be made of nominating
and electing a judge of this court di-
rectly by the people and by nom
partisan vote. The nomination will be
made at the primary on May l9. The
names of those who have presented
petitions qualifying them to be en-
rolled as candidates will be printed
upon a separate ballot, without any
partisan designation, and every quail.
fled Voter, of whatever party, regard
less of his previous party record or
affiliations, will be entitled to vote for
one Of the candidates upon the ballot,
and the two receiving the highest
number of votes will be the candidates
to be voted for at the general election;
or If one of the candidates at the pri-
mary receives more than half of all
the votes cast such candidate will be
the sole nominee and will be really
elected at the primary.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
THE TRAGIC FATE OF AD-
MlRAL BYNG.
BY A. w. MACY.

Admiral John Byng Of the
British navy, bungled a battle
and was shot for II. In 1856 he
was sent with his squadron to
protect a British station on tho
island Of Minorca, In the Med
lterranean. He came TO an on
gagement with the French fleet,
but managed his vessels very
poorly, and tho French were VIC
torlous. When news Of the de-
feat reached England there was
a great outcry. Tho admiral was
brought homo and tried by court
martial. Tho court found him
guilty Of not having done his ut
most to win the battle, but ac-
quilted him Of cowardlce and
disaffectlon and recommend
ed him TO mercy on that
account. But there was a
stringent law at that time which
prescribed death for negligence
on tho part Of an admiral, and
tho king decided not to Inter
fero with tho verdict. Byng,
however, was not without friends
and defenders. Many people
believed the government itself
was at fault In not furnishing
him with an adequate equip
ment Of men and ships, and
made him a scape-goat for It's
own shortcomings. His trial and
execution made a deep impress
sion on the public mind, and
doubtless led to a modification
Of the law. The admiral met his
death bravely, but II was need
less cruelty to shoot him on a
ship no had formerly COM
manded.

Character Told by tho Chin.

The shape Of the chin is Of consid'
cradle importance In reading charao'
ter. A chin smooth and round de-
notes childlike disposition and a
yielding will. The oval chin is an
indication of an artistic, sensitive ma
ture, with some talent along those
lines, while the angular chin denotes
the scientific, practical nature. The
protruding chin always means com.
bativeness, determination and power,
and the receding chin denotes the
weak will, and the straight chin also
denotes weakness.

Quantity and Quality.

In quantity his books and opinions
attest great and unremitting indus
try, but it is their quality that has
built and maintained his reputation.
AS a distinguished attorney of the
Pennsylvania bar has said, "for depth
of research, power of ANALYSIS and
clearness of expression, most of his
opinions leave nothing to be desired
by the attorneys on one side, nothing
to be hoped for by the attorneys on
the other, and nothing to be added to
by the appellate court. Indeed, some
of his opinions read like treatises
upon the law involved" AS another
said. "his written opinions are com
plete repositories of the law upon the
subjects treated. His constant pen has
enriched our legal literature and her
aided his name as an accomplished
and accredited author and standard
authority throughout the Union"
One of the greatest tributes to the
soundness of his judicial decisions is
the frequency with which, for years,
they have been affirmed by the su.
preme court upon the opinion of the
learned court below" phrase which
indicates that the court of last resort
find his exposition and Interpretation
of the law in the case so complete and
satisfactory that II is not necessary to
add to it. His opinions are of the
highest authority in the courts of the
state and adjoining states, and within
a few weeks one of his decisions, on
a question of trade names, was quot
ed, with approval, in one of the great
trade journals of England, while his
doctrine in "The Interpretation Of
Statutes" has been cited in debate in
the parliament of Great Britain.
