WHITE SLAVE LAW
 UPHELD BY COURT
PROSECUTIONS FOR TRANSPOR. ING WOMEN ARE NOT LIMITED
 TO COMMERCiALIzED VICE.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Following Interpretation of the Mann Act Court Affirmed Convictions of
 l.. T. Hays, of Ava, Okla, and
 M. l. Biggs of Sacramento, Cal.

Washington. Interpreting the Mann white slave law, the Supreme Court decided that prosecutions under he law for transporting women in in terstate commerce are not limited to commercialized vice, and includes ton of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury Diggs of Sacramento, was affirmed.
 Following interpretation of the Mann act, the court also affirmed con- viction of L. T. Hays of Ava, Okla.
 The court was divided. The major ity opinion was given by Justice Day. Chief Justice White and Justices Mo. Kenna and Clarke dissented. Justice McReynolds took no part in consider ation of the cases
 ''The plain terms of the act must take precedence over the designation and the report that accompanied it to Congress" said Justice Day. "It is said it will open the door to black mail, but that it is to be considered by Congress. We think the power of Congress to regulate transportation of passengers affords ample basis to ex- ercise authority in the csc of this statute"
 Justice McKenna announced the dis. sent, but did not deliver any opinion.
 Justice Bays minority opinion said:
 'In none of the cases was it charg- ed or proved that the transportation (of the women involved) was for gain or for the purpose of furnishing wo. men for prostitution for hire.
 There is no ambiguity in the terms of this act. It is elementary that the meaning of statute must in the first instance be sought in the language of the act as framed and if that is plain the sole function of the courts is to enforce it according to it's terms.
 ITO cause woman to be transport ed for debauchery or for an immoral purpose. for which Diggs and Cami. netti were convicted would seem by the very statement of the facts to embrace transportation for purposes denounced by the act While such i'm moral purpose would be culpabe in morals, if accompanied with expecta- tion of gain, such considerations do not prevent the lesser offense against morals from the execution of purposes within the meaning of the law. To say to the contrary would shock the common understanding of what con. stitutes an immoral purpose"

BILIOUS, HEADAcHY, SICK ''CASCARETS' Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while
 you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness, coated tongue. foul taste and foul breath--always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

GOVERNOR BROUGH'S ATTITUDE SET FORTH IN SPECIAL MES
 SAGE TO LEGISLATURE.
ASK LEGISLATORS TO ASSIST
Requests Strict Compliance With Con- stitutionaI Compliance Regarding 30 Days Publication in Territory
 Affected By Local Bills.
Little Rock.

L1ttIe ROCK
 Governor Brough's attitude toward local and special legislation wes set forth in a special message which he sent to the legislature. He declares that he does not wish to be arbitrary, but insists that the legislators assist him in the establishment of prece- dent for a strict compliance with the constitutional provision requiring 30 days publication in the territory to be affected by any local bill. His mes sage follows:
 "There seems to be prevalent un- terstanding concerning my view upon local bills. In justice to myself and in a spirit of fairness to the member ship of the legislature 1 take this method of declaring my feeling upon the subject of local legislation. Since the members of the legislature did not know until a few days ago my desire to have the law strictly con- piled with relative to the statutory publication required of local measures,
  the bills published for 30 days before their introduction in either branch of the legislature, with reasonable cer- tainty of securing their passage, l hereby announce that I will consider upon their merits the bills of local interest that have heretofore passed this body, or that will be passed dur ing this week.
 "Thereafter, however, l do earnest ly urge upon every man of this Gen eral Assembly that all local bills be given publication before presented to me for my signature. This is ma,- ter of utmost importance, and l am transmitting this message in an at tempt at fair dealing and in an CT fort to best conserve the public inter- est. 1 feel sure that this legislature has no desire to disregard the plain inhibtions of the statutes, nor have l any disposition to encroach upon a coordinate branch of the government.
 Therefore earnestly appeal 10 this body to assist me in establishing the precedent of a strict adherence to the statutes controlling this class of legislation. I earnestly urge every member who champions a measure solely of local concern to see that said measure has been given fair pub iication, and that the people of the To- calitv affected have been given req
