SHIELDS SEES
SCHEMING TO
faint JUSTICE
Charges Anti-SalOOn League
Back of Plan to Increase
Federal Judges.
HOT ATTACK ON BILL

WASHINGTON, March 31-The Anti
Saloon League proposes to Invade the
sacred precincts Of the courts and pOlute
the administration of justice" by means
of the bill increasing the number OF Fed
eral judges and providing for the trans
fer of judges TO districts where dockcts
are clogged, Senator Shields (DemD
Tennessee, charged in the Senate today.
There are now, before this bill be
comes a law" said Shields, "selti n in
terests that are contriving and coGspir-
ing to take advantage Of it to control
the courts and judicial decisions by Sc
curing the designation of judges in sym
pathy with them and who have fixed con
yictiOns upon the law and the facts. to
try their cases. l am reliably informed
that the Anti Saloon League, thrnugh its
paid lobbyists, is attempting to ihhncnce
Senators to vote for the provisions Of
this bill. giving the Chief Justice the
power to assign judges in his discretion
to courts, and, Of course. TO try certain
cases pending in those courts.
CHARGES EFFORT
TO INVADE COURTS.
This interest has not hesitated 10 ad
vocate laws violating the constitutional
guarantees Of the rights of personal lib
ETY. and private property and now they
propose to invade the sacred precincts Of
the courts and pollute the adminintra-
tion Of Justice by placing judges upoE
the bench who have at least 10 some ex-
tent pre- Judged the cases they are to try"
The bill which Shields attacked would
allow the chief justice Of the supreme
Court to shift and assign judges TO dis
tricts not their own, where cougested
dockets or other conditions seemed to
make additional judges or different
judges desirable. This, Shields de-
clared is step in the direction Of 'Ju-
dicial autocracy' and menaces the indie
pendence or the courts
Shields said his statement concerning
the Anti Saloon League "only illustrates
the horrible consequences Of vesung this
new and great power over the trial
courts In the chief justice Of the United
States. It's bllghting effects will fall
upon both the high office of chief justice
and the district courts. The action Of
the Anti Saloon League in favorng this
bin simply forecasts that 1t will try to
influence the chief Justice TO assign
judges selected b ythem solely for the
purpose Of trying prohibition cases ana
without regard to the interest Of other
litigants.

POISONED GLUE FOR BIBLES
Particular Protection Necessary for
Books Intended FOR Circulation In
the Gilbert Islands.

Not only must Bibles be a~ttractively
bound and we'll printed, but some Of
them must be .perfumed, peTpered and
poisoned as well. Bibles going to the
Gilbert islands contain in the binding
glue and the paste which fGstens the
cover a mixture &c oil of cloves, cay
enne pepper and corrosive sublimate.
This is to ward off a certain worm,
peculiar to these islands, which de-
stroys the bindings of books. Twelve
hundred such Bibles have been sent
recently by the United States Bible So
ciety on their 15,C00-mile journey TO
Ocean island by way of Sydney, Aus
tralia. Rev. d. Hiram Bingham, the
famous missionary translator, gave his
life to the preparation Of the Bible in
the Gilbertese language.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp'
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm.
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.

The home is the chief factor. All
early acquaintance with life, all ele-
mentary habits and tendencies are
first determined by the environment
and the character of the home. The
beauty, nobility, strength, tone, and
loveliness that surround some chill
dren in their play days or, on the
contrary, the dull, gray, ugly, tone
less, commonplaceness and even
squalor that surround other children
frequently prepare two totally diff
ferent groups of six-yearold children
for the same elementary schoolroom.
A godly nation is nation of godly
homes in which children are being
reared.
Beside the home, the school. The
training of our modern children is
very largely turned over to our pub
lie schools. Such schools as we some
times provide are in school houses
poorly located on grounds too con-
fined for play, cheaply constructed,
ill lighted, over-crowded, too often in
charge of immature and unframed
teachers. No nation is secure, no
up to standard when the
schools are unattractive and ineffi-
cient. In schooling, the best is none
too good for the humblest children of
the nation.
Beside the public school, the church
school. From the viewpoint of the
nation, the function of the church is
religious education which function is
not performed in our country, by any
tax supported institution. The Con-
stitution, wisely divorcing the church
from the State, does not, however, i'm
ply that religious education is unim-
portant or that religion is not the
anxious concern of a righteous nation.
On the contrary, the religious senti-
ments of the community, the moral
and spiritual ideals which are the pc
culiar character of the church, COM
pose no inconsiderable part of tie
education of a citizen. The church
does not fulfill her civic function as
an organized religious institution un-
til she has provided the buildings, the
equipment, materials of instruction,
the methods and the trained instruc-
tors that will give to the children of
the nation the religious instruction
they need.
There are anxious calls for the
more efficient operation of all three
agencies in the education of our
youth--better homes and more de-
voted home makers, better schools,
Fairgrounds, and more well-trained
instructors in the schools, more effec-
tive methods of religious instruction
in every church that they may, to-
gether, enrich the community life of
our people for the better upbringing
of the coming generation.-The Even
ing Journal.
