KEEPING AHEAD

It was an American business firm
who some forty-three years ago
showed the world how to perfect the
medicinal properties Of cod liver oil
and make it pleasant to take which
Immediately popularized cod liver oil
throughout the whole world.
Not content with this great success,
however, Scott & Bovine continued to
evolve methods and machinery to
keep Scott's Emulsion finer, purer and
richer than the limitations which pat
termed after their plans, and today
every precaution that human ingenu-
ity can devise is employed to keep
Scott's Emulsion the finest and pur-
est medicinal food in the world.
The refining of raw cod liver oil as
practiced with the crude equipments
available along the Norwegian coast
has never squared with the ideals of
Scott & Bovine and they have just
completed a spacious refining plant
adjoining their laboratories in Bloom
field, N. j., which is refrigerated to
the climate of Norway and equipped
with unusual sanitary devices which
will forever insure a supreme quality
of cod liver oil in every bottle Of
Scott's Emulsion and place it above
and beyond all commercial substitutes
which may contain che usual sus.
picious or adulterated oils.

Why Did Not States
Attorney Burgeson
Tell the Facts :

In last weeks icsue Of this paper
appeared an article marked political
matter in which it was stated that it
was necessary to elect Mr.. Burgeson
in order that a certain case in which
Stark County is interested may be
tried at the next term of court. 1t
makes no difference, in so far as that
case in concerned, who the states at
torney will be. The case YVES started
by Mr.. Burnett, Mr.. Pugh and Mr..
Simpson and they are the attorneys of
record in this case They prepared
the papers, they argued the case in
District and the Supreme Court. The
states attorney, past or present, had
nothing to do with it. The states at
torney to be elected will have nothing
whatsoever to do with said case. He
cannot dismiss it or hinder the trial
thereof in any manner whatsoever.
Why did not the present states attor-
ney tell the truth and not try to color
the facts so they would appear in his
favor? Mr.. Cain must have made a
good record during his term if it can
not be truthfully attackcd.-Pol. Adv.

JUDGES 20 NOT HAVE T0 RUN

' was instituted in order to obtain a Nruling from the supreme court On the Mmeaning of the act consolidating state and national elections.
 N It must be conceded, said the su- preme courts decision, that literal \ Ereading of the statute sustains the #contention that tho judges must run, Mfor the statute provides in so many words that the election shall be "fol' \ judges of the supreme and circuit x #courts when the terms of office of Many judge shall expire before the next x general election" The court held, x However, that the interpretation of Mthe specific wording of the statute @spirit and intention of the act.
 N "There are several reasons why it fsis apparent that the framers of the #statute did not intend what 8 literal of the statute, as 8 whole, Awould imply. In the first place. the %statute provides that senators of the @United States shall be elected as each Mbiennial election. but we know that a@the lawmakers did not intend to ac- Accomplish that result. inasmuch as the Hconstitution of the United States fixes Mthe terms of senators at six years. In ssRssthe next place, the interpretation con- Mtended for by learned counsel for ap- S8pellant would require all of the state #senators. those whose terms begin in
 xhe year 1918, as we'll as those whose 2gferms begin in the present year. to be V&lected at the next election to be held sc sy&ble that that was the intention of tho s&ramers of the statute, for it is cer- ggsSfainly contrary to the policy of the SK3(tate to elect senators so long time SS Before the commencement of theil 4 #ervicas. Besides, it would be in di- S9cct conflict with the express letter |HRf the constitution, which provides
 hat the terms of senators shall begin 4Y)sith the dates of their election.
 "I'he statute would, under that iE 8 82rpretation, also be in conflict with nother statute with reference to the |Sa&ection and qualification of officers Which there is little reason to believe taat the lawmakers meant to change SXRe refer to the statute, which pro x < ades that the state board of election sommissioners shall, within 90 day SSj fter the time allowed to make the re

It becomes clear there was no inten- .ioh on the part of the legislature to uo more than to postpone the date of the state election So as to conform to the date of the national election. In other words, it was manifestly the sole purpose of the legislature to con- solidate elections of the state."
 The court held, as it has in other cases, that the amendatory words of a statute are subject to the same rules ot construction as any other parts of the statute. and that "the literal meaning may be put aside to carry out the obvious intention of the law makers as otherwise indicated"
 The decision quoted the following rule laid down On statutory construc- ton:
 "The plere literal construction of section ln the statute ought not to prevail if it is opposed to iila inten- tion of the legislature apparent by the statutes: and if the words arc sufficiently flexible to admit of some other construction, it is to he adopted to effectuate that intention The in tent prevails over the letter, and the letter will, if possible, be so read as to conform to the spirit of the act"
 "We ought, therefore, to indulge t.,a presumption that tho legislature did not intend to change tEc whole policy of our laws in order merely to bring about the consolidation of elections, for in framing the statute the only change actually made in the language was that of inserting the new date and also mention of other officers (senators and congressmen), to con- form to the requirements of the na- tional election law" said the supreme courts decision.
 ''There are numerous authorities cited on the briefs of counsel which sustain the view we are attempting to express now, to the effect that even in the face of constitutional provisions fixing the duration of terms of office, that unless there is an express provi- sion fixing the beginning of terms, and the power is conferred upon the lawmakers to change the dates of elections, there may be change i'll the beginning of terms as 8 mere in cident to the change in the date of elections

Will Not Run in Primary.

Although Circuit Judge w. B. So1- rells and Attorney s. J. Hunt entered as candidates for the nomination for circuit judge in this district, they made an agreement stipulating neith- CT would be candidate in the prl- mary if the supreme court ruled as 1t did yesterday. The call for the pri- mary was issued before the depth of Judge A. B. Grace, and was made to give Judge Grace opportunity to run if he deemed the action required by the new law. \ It was known that Judge Grace held the opinion the su- preme court voiced today; that the statute provided only for the consoli- dation of the elections. Judge Grace's term would not have expired until November, 1918. Judge Sorrells was appointed by Governor Hays to fill the unexpired term of Judge Grace There is some difference of opinion as to whether the clause providing for the filling of vacancies in the of fec of circuit judge means the ap- pointeee shall serve until the next election" to fill that office, or any gen. eral election. MT. Hunt contends that section of the constitution makes it plain that whenever vacancy oc- CUTS the place must be filled by the people at the next election. Accord ing to this contention, the governor cannot appoint for a period longer than exists between the time of the appointment and the next election
 Judge Sorrells and several other at torneys hold opposite view. They con tend that the governor appoints fol the remainder of tho unexpired term in this instance until November. 1913
