THAT EXECUTIVE 5zssloN
Senator Fairchild Says Upper House
Acted on Best Judgment.

Senator w. II. Fairchild from
Franklin county, president protein of
the upper house of the recent legisla-
ture, has written the following TO the
st. Adams Messenger relative to the
executive session at which Judge
Taylor spoke in relation to certain
court reform measures:
My attention has been called to
some recent newspaper criticisms of
the justices Of the supreme curt in
that enc of the justices accepted an
invitation TO address the senate as a
committee of the whole in executive
session In view OF the fact that
some of the justices have taken occas
ion to reply TO criticisms. and from
the further fact that my name is men
toned as the senator who suggested
to the senate that such executive SEES
sion be held for the purpose named.
it seems appropriate that / should Of
fer a few comments upon the subject
matter. ! refrain from the use Of the
word explanation in this connection
for in my judgment no explanation or
apology is called for. The plain duty
rested upon the senate to secure the
best obtainable information upon all
subject matters pertaining to public
legislation Whether this informa.
ton could best be had through sub
committees working in public or pri-
vate sessions; or the committee OF the
whole in executive session or in open
session, was a matter wholly in the
discretion OF the senate acting in its
best judgment and conscience, and,
parentheically. ! may say that
have not yet heard of any Of the sen
ators going into a decline through the
workings of a troubled conscience.
The plain duty also rested upon any
justice or judge of our courts to APP
pear before any committee OF the
senate or house and give any informa-
ton particularly within their know
ledge relating to any subject matter
of general public importance
Whether any of the justices of the
supreme court requested, or even adj
yised, that Mr.. Justice Taylor should
be received by the senate in executive
session as a committee of the whole |

themselves. Sometime during the af-

executive session one or more Of the
senators said to me 1t was probable
that the supreme court would accept

such a session. | declined to inter

subject, but at the request of the SEN

thus does the modern mentality elude
and out-reach me- Executive SEES

present, therefore no undue advant
age can be had or taken by either
side; everything is informal and no
final action taken. except in the con
frmation Of appointees. The eXecu
tive session is dissolved and the final
action of the senate, the speech-mak
ing and the voting on any given meas
ure is in the open, In public, and is o

new YORK REGIMENT OUT Strong
AGAINST PRESENT GUARD SYSTEM

Foicing the opinion OF one OF the
most prominent National Guard or
ganizations-the 7th Regiment of New
Ycrk-the Seventh Regiment Gazette
in recent issue comes out In a
striking manner against the National
Guard system as IL stands today. The
regiment recently returned from the
border.
There Is no question" says the Ga
zette, but that If the present legisla-
ton stands as II Is today, 1t will take
four years before the National Guard
will be so reduced in numbers that it
will be disDanded. This is broad
and sweeping statement, but the only
conclusion that can be drawn from
the facts.
Almost without exception con-
tinues the Gazette. every man in the
Guard today, when his period of en-
listment is up, is through for all time.
This is true In all classes Of organiza-
lions and in all states. Unless some
provision is made to the effect that
the National Guard cannot be called
out by the President into the active
service of the United States for a pc
Rod longer than so days unless a state
of war exists. which will act as a
guarantee to the men who take their
oaths Of enlistment in good faith. with
the understanding that they would
only be used In such service in case
Of a real national emergency, the Ma.
tional Guard is doomed. Il
Under the Hay bill the organized
militia may now be modified whether
there is national emergency or not,
and the mems patriotism taken adj

business careers, simply to perform

men similar to the Canadian North
west Mounted Police. Whether ii is
strictly military or not, the fact re.
mains that the foundation of the Ma
tionaI Guard is built upon social and
good-fellowship ideas, which lead men
to join and to ask their friends to
join. At the present time, when the
Guard is mustered out, its members
will not only not ask their friends to
join. to meet the ever-present neces-
stty Of recruiting, but they will per

ACID SToMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
Common Sense Advice BY q Distln
suished Specialist.

Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining Of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases Of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and me-
dicinal treatments are useless in such
cases. for they leave the source Of
the trouble, the acid in the stomach,
as dangerous as ever. The acid must
be neutralized and its formation pre-
vented. and the best thing for this
purpose is teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia. simple antacid, taken in q
little warm or cold water after eating.
which not only neutralizes the acid,
but also prevents the fermentation
from which acidity is developed.
Foods which ordinarily cause dis.
tress may be eaten with impunity

bisurated magnesia. which can be OBJ
tanned from any druggist and should
always be kept handy. For sale by
