ILLINOIS SHERIFF
BEATEN BY SMALL.
Governor Returns to Springfield;
Refuses to Be Arrested.
READS Def TO THE OFFICER
Declares Himself Above the Courts
Processes and That 1t Is His Duty
Under Constitution to De-
cline to Submit.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-Sherliri
Mester of Sangamon county went to-
the capitol to arrest Gov. Len Smah,i
but left few minutes later empty
handed.
AT 3 10 d. M. the sheriff reachedl
the governors office. At 1913 p. III. hes
departed.
Meeting Cordial.
The meeting between governor ana
sheriff seemingly was cordial. Wlth'
some hesitancy the sheriff explaineds
the purpose of his visit. The governor
replied that, as chief executive OF the
state, he was above the courts pro-
cesses, and read an opinion by his
counsel to that effect.
IF / arrest you, you figure on COM
ing onto meY' queried Sheriff Mester.
Il will do whatever is necessary TO
fulfill my obligation to the people ana
to uphold the constitution of the
state,' tersely replied Governor Small.
''Well,' said the sheriff, that is all
today" and he walked slowly from the
room.
Smail's Statement.
The statement read to the SheriH Dy
the governor follows:
Il am here performing the duties or
governor of the state.
Il have been commissioned by the
people of the state to exercise their ex-
ecutive functions during my term OF
office.
MY legal advisers, ex-Gov. Joseph
w. Fifer, Hon. James M. Graham and
Messrs. Theo Gillespie and Charles Z.
L'Forge, tell me, and have convinced
me, that it is my duty under the con-
stitutiOn and my oath of Office to de-
cline to submit myself to the jurisdic-
ton of the judicial department during
my term as governor; that the public
welfare as well as the constitution
and the law demand that the man who
is the governor of the state shall be-
entirely free from interference withl
his personal liberty while he is COVER
nor.
Above judicial Branch.
''To submit myself to the courts
would mean to make the executive de-
partment of the government subject to
the judicial department, which would
be direct violation of the constitu-
ton. My first duty under my oath OF
office is to uphold the constitution and
1 have no right to permit interference
with that duty, whatever my personals
preference might be.
81 must therefore, in obedience to
my oath of Office, decline to submit
myself to the jurisdiction of the judi
cial branch of the state government
during my term as governor"

Flu Had Left AIsmeyer So Weak
Life Was Miserable and Work
"A Burden.

'The flu left me, in such run
down condition that life was m1ser-
able and work was a burden" said
Henry Alsmeyer, 1904 Dawson Ave,
st. Louis, a mechanic in the water
works department, in statement
regarding Tanlac, recently. Such
has been the experience of thou
sands upon thousands of people
throughout the continent. who, like
Mr.. Alsmeyer, have testified that
il remained for Tanlac to bring
them back to health, strength and
working efficiency following influ-
enza.
MY appetite was Just about gone
and my stomach so weak that
could hardly digest anything. After
eating there was a heavy feeling
like lead in the pit of my stomach
and would feel distressed and mis-
cradle for hours. My nerves were
SO shattered that l could get nc
restful sleep and l lost weight con-
tinually In fact, my whole sys-
tenn seemed to be upset after | had
the flu l just dragged around in
doing my work and, really should
have been in bed.
Nothing helped me until 1 got
Tanlac. My first bottle of this med
icine gave me a good appetite anC
had me well on the road to healtl
and strength. l have only takeI
two bottles, and am going to TAKE
more, but l am so much better
sleep better and work better than
have since before 1 was taken dowI

WELL BRED STRANGERS.

For the past three days several hun
dred young French sailors have been
visiting Pensacola. Every night they
have been given liberty to visit any
part of the city and they have taken
fun advantage of the opportunity.
Every street has been visited and
the red pompomed hats have been
common sights in all sections of the
city.
Perhaps the most interesting and
noticeable feature of the visit of these
strangers has been their universal
good behaviour. Not one of them has
been engaged in ruffianism or rowdy-
ism and not one of them has been
mixed up with the police.
Neither have the visitors chung
out" in disreputable parts of the city.
They have come ashore, intent on see
ing this strange American port, and
have wandered cherrily up and down
the streets looking in at the store
windows, visiting the city hall and
the various parks, and have gone back
TO their ship at night as clean as they
came ashore.
Americans cannot help but respect
these representatives of a foreign
country. Their good behavior has
brought forth many favorable COM
ments and Captain Jolivet and the
French republic are to be congratu-
lated that the men of the Jeanne dare
have made such a splendid impression
on the people of Pensacola.
