of the state legislature have invited
him to appear before a Joint session
and explain his proposed act
The sole jurisdiction of the fed
eyal courts is statutory and the law
making power being vested in the peo-
pie, the people can determine whether
they shall be governed by themselves,
or by judges appointed for life whom
they cannot control reads a message
sent by Owen to his constituents.

against the eighthour law. when
the people understand the gravity of
this case | believe they will support
me, but in any event, will represent
their wishes when ascertained,'
The senator's resolution, already in
troduced, reads:
Whereas, the constitution of the
United States gives no authority to
any judicial officer to declare uncon
stimtional an act which has been de
clared constitutional by majority OF
the members of TIE United States sen

and by the president of the UniteC
States, who, on their several oaths
have declared the opinion in the pas
sage of such act that it is constitu
tional; and
Whereas, in the constitutional con
vention, in which the constitution o
the United States was framed, thu
motion was three times made to giv'
to the supreme court in some milC
form the right to express an opinion
upon the constitutionality Of acts o
congress and was three times over
whelmingly rejected; and
Whereas, such assumption of pow

with the reasonable exercise of TIT

hands of the representatives Of tn
people in congress assembled to
tribunal appointed for life and sui
iect to no review and to no contrC

and is therefore against a wise publ
policy; and

ability and has frequently addressed
congress upon the urgent importance
of prohibiting the liquor traffic nation

spoken from almost every noted

his published temperance addresses
have been scattered over the nation

MADISON
Town Is to Have Municipal Coal
and Wood Yard After Five
Years Agitation = Favorable
Action Taken at Special Town
Meeting

After an agitation covering oVer five
years. Madison is to have a munich
pal coal and wood yard. A special
town meeting was held Saturday after
noon in Union hall with 100 representa-
tive citizens present. The meeting was
called to order by Town Clerk Weston,
and Judge Charles O.. Small a elect
ed moderator. Messrs. Clyde Smith
and Judson Packard Of the Skowhegan
board OF selectmen We're present by in
vitation.
Judge Small first called on Mr.. Smith
for information in regard to the
SkoWhcgan municipal yard, Mr.. Smith
told briefly Of the methods used in get
ting in touc hwith a coal supply and
said that the town had already deliv-
cred 1900 tons and had ordered a like
amount which was expected soon. He
said the coal was sold at $3.50 per ton
on the car or from 50 to 1925 delivered
in the bin. He said il took about eight
DAYS to get the coal from the mines
and that by actual tests it was about
- per cent better in quality than the
coal supplied by the average dealer. He
also said that coal dealers in other
parts of the State had made attempts
to put the town out of business but
had not succeeded. He said the town
had a wood lot two and a half miles
from the village and that they had but
little difficulty in securing plenty of
help to cut it. Mr.. Packard made a
short speech in which he gave some
details omitted by Mr.. Smith.
49,. J--.
imOusly voted hat the town establish
a municipal coal and wood yard for
the purpose of selling to citizens at
cost and that the selectmen be author
lied TO hire $40. 900 if necessary for the
purpose of buying coal, wood, either
toy or cord. and for the purchase Of
~stumnage. 1t was also further voted
that the business must be on a cash
basis, and that not more than five
cords Of wood or five tons of coal be
delivered to amy one customer at one
time. Action will be taken at once ~
the selectmen to carry out the vote and
il is hoped to have a supply of coal
before extreme cold weather strikes. A
suggestion by Mr.. Smith that Skowhe-
gan and Madison cooperate in buying
their coal supply was Very favorably
received and will probably be brought
about later.

1oDAY's BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently If it Is
entirely and properly cleansed each
time bys the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to u readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea
spoonful Of canthrox. which can be
obtained from any druggist, in a cup
of hot water. This make a full cup
of shampoo liquid. enough so it is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead of
Just the top of the head. This when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand of hair. chemically dissolves all
impurities. 1t is very soothing and
cooling in its action, as we'll as bene-
fetal to both scalp and hair. After
rinsing out the lather so created, you
will find the scalp is fresh, clean and
free from %dandruff, while the hair
dries quickly and evenly. developing
a bright luster and a soft iufiness that
makes 1t seem very heay-Adv. -
