IN the February issue of Every-
body's Magazine is the initial article
OF series relating to the alleged
corruption of State and Federal
Judiciary by corporate interests.
In his prelude, the author, Mr.. @.
P. Connolly, says:
81 shall show that courts have
been packed in order to render de-
cisions favorable to certain cor
porations not once. but so often
that the resulting danger has be-
come too great to ignore. Indeed,
the things that are oppressive in
the tariff, in freight rates, in finan-
cial trusts and industrial monopo-
lies, in the private exploitation Of
public service, and In the siezure
Of privilege, are in large measure
due to the courts obedience to the
will of powerful interests.
/ shall prove that judicial opin-
ions of our highest courts have
been written in the offices Of legal
departments ofrailroads and other
corporations.
shall show federal judges so
corrupt that long since their i'm :
parchment should have been
called for--if that were not an i'm :
potent and hopeless remedy, ]
shall show them using the power
OF their great office to loot pros
porous concerns to the financial
advantage of judicial rings.
shall show them constantly hear
ing the cases Of corporations ir
which their sons and nephews
hold salaried Positions"
He promises to make good these
assertions, in these words:
sIf / do not prove all that I have
promised to prove, shall lay
myself open to the severest CEN
sure Of every fairminded man
and shall grossly violate the oatf
Itook as alawyer. ! do not ex-

Capt. King, of the Globe Democrat,
President of the Association for

that? I pause for reply from
Bro. Deggendorf of the Potosi

partisan tie that binds and speaks
out in meetin'. But I know of no

comparatively broken down by old age.
What would you advise me TO dor
My Dear Sir; / do not teach any
system Of physical culture. The only
physical culture | believe in is TO have
something to do every day that calls
into play both the mental and physical
powers. Something that you are inter-
ested in. Something you believe in.
Eat frugally. At your age use meat
sparingly. Make no use of narcotics
OF any sort Drink cold water freely,
and if you wish to do exactly az | do,
keep bottle of Peruna in the house all
the time. At the slightest appearance
OF cold or sneezing, or cough, chill, or

morning, described in the Ills of Life,

FROM A DOCTOR:--A doctor writes
me as to the remedy Katarno:

Is Beaten in a Snap Vote on
Home Rule.
RESULT OF OPPOSITION
To Financial Provisions-The Ministry
However, Not to Resign-No Proof
Yet That the Measure Will
Be Defeated.

London, Nov. 1.-THE administration
was defeated in the House of Commons
/ yesterday by vote of 22S to 206 on tho
| financial clause of the Irish home rule
bill.
If the usual course is followed the ad.
ministration will resign and an election
/ will follow. Unless it results in a
victory for the Liberals, who are now in
power, home rule will be lost In any
event, if the administration resigns an
entirely fresh start will have to be made
on the measure in the new parliament.
The commons adjourned in wild excite
ment.
The question on which to-day's vote
was taken was an amendment to the
home rule bill, offered by Sir Frederick
Banbery, conservative, providing that,
in case Ireland proved unable to support
itself by local taxation and had to call
on the imperial government for assist
anee, the amount be limited to 81 ,500,-
600. Premier Asquith said this was too
little-that S30000,000 might be needed
The Conservatives leaped to their
benches when the result of the vote was
announced, screaming, Resign! Re-
sign!"
A cabinet meeting was hurriedly called
to consider the situation. Intrinsically
the amendment was not considered inn
portant, but from the governments
standpoint it was vital
The general impression was that the
cabinet will resign as soon as the Bal
kan crisis has passed which will mean
the death Of home rule unless the Lib
erals win again at the polls
Even Liberals said they consider such
a victory doubtful.
