There is as much probability of hav
ing a .bad Judge as a bad Governor, and
of che two the bad Judge is more dan
gerous. And if the power to imprison
for contempt the Judge being the sole
judge in the case is "inherent in the
Jnd?e,"Jthen why should appeals be al
lowed from an inferior court Judge to
t2ie Supreme Court? And because the
latter decides that the lower coup; was
"within the law" in its action, why
should this particular class of punish
ments be exempted from lhe provision
of the constitution confering upon the
Chief Executive the pardoning power?
In a contempt case a citizen may be
come the victim of a Jndge'e passion
or his prejudices, or his fancied concep
tion of "popular opinion." The Judge,
in such cases, constitutes court and jury
and det mines the matter for himself.
A Supreme Court, naturally anxious to
sustain the . prerogatives of the judi
ciary, not to eay its independence and
its power to construe laws to suit
.its views rather than to meej the rea
sonable intent of the people's represen-

as to a question of contempt the Judge
must b sole judge. Then of 'course,

"One day last winter a lady came to
my drn.a: store and asked for a brand
of cough medicine thit I did not hrve
in stock," says Mr. C. R. Graudin. the
popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "Sh9
was. disappointed-ana 'wanted to know
what cor.gh preparation I could recotn
mend. Osa'd to her that I could freely
i"ecommend ChamlKJiIaiu's Cough Item-
tdy and that she cou'd tali? a bot.le Of
the remedy and af;er giving it a fail
trial if she -did not find it wjrth the
money to bring back the I ottle and f
would refund the price paid. In th
course of a day or two ihe lady cam
in company with a friend in need of
a congh medicine :nl advised her to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy." Th
remedy owes its great popularity and
extensive sale in a large measure to
the personal recommendations of people
who have been cured by its use. It
is for sale by Henry T. Hicks, Hobbitt
Wynne Drug Co., and Northside Drug
