The great God Now, not yesterday, po I salute and homage pay -We must no longer be governed by ths vu.u'iuni inn Mw- ages and doctrines of the past. Adhering to old methods, governed by worn-out dog mas, is respon sible for most of our ills and mis fortunes. For' thousands -of years people have been led to expect sick res, decrepitude and death. " The teaching of the pulpit has been, "Prepare to die," instead of, "Prepare to livi.i' . . - The public, as well as physicians, have taken it for granted that a man after fefel ij It he gets to be seven ty, eighty or ninety years of age, is useless member of society . These fv lacious doctrines must be eliminated from our thoughts. People generally get what they expect. I would have the public schools incul cate into the minds nf all scholars, that men should live almost indefinitely. That they are Gods of their own destiny. My theory that the lower bowel is re sponsible for most ills, sorrows and fail ures, as well as premature death, baa wakened a general A the f interest. Liberal physicians and scientists are com mending me for this bold stand, for they recotrnire that if bowels are clogged, Indl jtesUon, liver troublea heart affections and kin dred ailments are sure to follow. Munyon's Paw Paw Laxative Pills flush the bowels without irntat. tag. They build up tae system instead; of weakening it. They digest everything that is put into the stomach. They habituate the bowels to act regulsrly without any foreign assistance, and I don't believe there was ever a better blood purifier than these pills. I want every perron wh suffers with indi gestion, every per son who is consti pated, every person who has any liver ailments, every per son who has pim ples or any skin eruption, every per son who is nervous and debilitated, to get a package of Munyon's Paw Paw Laxative liHs.

MUXYON. i -J Duncan Fletcher not to respond tomorrow to the order Issued by Justice Wright of the supreme court of the District of Co lumbia directing them to appear oefore him The proceeding grew out of a suit Insti tuted by the Valley Paper company of Holyoke, Mass., as the result of the com mittee's award of a contract for furnishing paper for the government printing office. The refusal of the senate was basd on the plea of the constitutional prerogatives of members of congress. The senate took the position that as It was a co-ordinate branch of the govern ment the court had no right to Interfere with Its business affairs. Incidentally, the question was raised as to whether Justlve Wright was In contempt of the senate or the senate In contempt of Justice Wright. ' In Contempt of Senate T Senator Nelson sought to have the reso lution adopted by the senate as to per mit the senators to appear only for the purpose Of testing ths court's jurisdiction and in doing so said that If the'r CDm mend&tleri of the Judloiary committee was correct Justice Wright might be called before the senate for contempt. Mr. Net- son did not defend the court's. Jurisdiction, buff said that as the printing committee had acted under, a-atatute and not as the ordinary lnsrimerit of congress there was ground for doubt.' Senator Root tcok the position that the v court's action wa an intronehment on the independence of the senate. Sustaining the action of the court on the ground that the printing award was administrative rather than a legislative i act. .Mr. Sutherland, advised' the commit t.e members to appear , In court and plead their privilege. v ! Senator Bacon declared that the exer i else by. the court of such power as claimed would result In the overthrow of the powers of the leglilatlve department The Nelson amendment was voted down, 14 to 45, the original committee re'olut on being adopted without divlBltn, as was an other resolution directing the secretary of the senate to communicate the views of the senate to the court. Hunae Memnere Will Appear " In the house there was gj e'lter division of opinion- as to whether in th's particular case the court was author Ik. u to summon Its members. The Judlcla;v committee brought In two reports. The majority re port recommended a compliance with the summons of the court on the ground that the committee was not summoned as mem bers of congress, but while acting under the authority of a statute enacted by con gress. The majority therefore recommended that Messrs. Cooper of Pennsylvania, Stur gets of West Virginia and Finley of South Carolina be instructed to appear in oourt The minority report. In which Chairman Parker Jalned, Clayton of Alabama and Mr. Henry of Texas, took the opposite view, claiming that the joint committee on printing was acting In a legislative ca pacity. They recommended either that the committee be Instructed not to respond to the summons or that the resolutions rec ommended by the majority be amended so as to InHtruct the members of the printing committee "if necessary, to prosecute an appeal or writ of error from i therein." In addition to Joining In the minority re port, representative Clayton of Alabama, offered a resolution declaring that the dis trict supreme court had unlawfully, in vaded the constitutional privileges of the, house., That it was without jurisdiction to hale Into court, ' members of the house and Instructing such members to ignore the summons of the oourt. , Debate is Extended. An extended debate of these reports fol lowed -their presentation to the house, and t 6:10 o'clock a recess was taken jntll 1 o'clock. In order that final action might be had before adjournment. The house late tonight adopted the ma jority report of the Judiciary committee, recommending that the house members of tho Joint committee on printing obey the summons of the district supreme court to appear before it in mandamus proceedings tomorrow. Deb&'to on th question continued at the night , session of the house until 11:46 o'clock, when Representative Brantley oi Oecrgia moved the previous question. Mr. Clayton then demanded the ayes and lets on Ms resolution, which was granted, and the call of the house, was begun. The minority resolution was voted down by a aye and nay vote, flfty-slx voting for and 174 against It. with thirteen voting "present." The original Brsntley resolu tion was then carried by a viva voce vote and fifteen minutes before midnight the house adjourned until tomorrow.

Mr. Carter contended that the matter was one over which the Irrigation com mittee had complete Jurisdiction and that It would lead to confusion In dividing the work.

Industrial and political, nanging on the decisions of the supreme court of the United States in the pending cases or tho American Tobacco company and the Standaid Oil company. Tha Immediate subject of last night's conference between the president and Mr. Aldiich was the administration's proposed amendments to the 'Intorstate oemmerce law, but the effes of the court's decisions In the tobacco and oil oeses were discussed and will be further cc lered Monday.

He makes It plain to all Inquirers that he has In no wise changed his view of what in his message to con gress he described as his duty and his purpose to Investigate' the-conduct of all trusts and will nt be swerved therefrom by rumors or flurries or other manifesta tions in Wall street. The general Impres Bion here Is that the proposed federal in corporation law will-ndr'bs pissed at the present session of congrtss, all the talk is unfavorable to its subfctsrttui progress ana Mr. Taft recently disclaimed any Intention of attempting to lorco us passage, uui even If It wers enacted in lis present form, it offers, in the opinion of astute members of congiets and of representative corpora tion men, no muterlal relief In the condi tion which hangs upon the decision in the anti-trust cases. No Shelter for Lawlessness. The bill provides thst It shall not he con strued to create a shelter or immunity tor any corporation which has offended the prohibitions of the Bherman law. Nobody here shares what appears to have been the popular impression that the-proposed fed eral Incu; poratlon act would afford relief to corporations directly or indirectly threat ened under a possible adverse, decision .of the court of last resort.' ' ' ' ' Nor is other legislation contemplated which niltbt be expected to relieve the tension. Senator Aldi ich said today, before his departure for New York: . "I can" cdncelve of no legislation within the power of congress which cao meet this situation; either in anticipation to the su preme court's decision, or subsequent to It." "Unless, perhaps, the repeal at the Bher. man lawT" the questioner suggested. The senator smiled grimly. It was evi dent that he regarded that as outside the domain la possibility. . , Seope of Antl-Trsst Cases. As for tha scope of the anti-trust oases before the supreme court here is what Attoruey General Wickersham said In con nection with his motion to advance the Standard Oil case to Immediate hearing: . "The tobacco case, Just argued and sub mitted to the court, and the Standard Oil case present to the court practically the entire range of modern industrial organisa tions in this ' country and Substantially every feature of tho so-called 'trust prob lem" insofar as it Is affected by the" Sher man act. It has been the polleyof the government to select a few extreme Instances of great combinations apparently controlling the greater part of trade and commerce In a particular line of industry, and4emake them teats of the full meaning and application of the statute. The Stand ard Oil case is the most Important of all these casos, affecting as it does, the widest range of combinations and Contracts which may he claimed to offend against the act of congress, Under thote ilrcumjtaneea and as this act. In its general scope affocts an enormous number of business and industrial organizations throughout the country. It is of momentous public importance that this court shall define and apply the act in reference to this character of organiza tion." Elf feet on Market. The proverbially, delicate relation which the market. "Wall street"--and the finan cial world generally bear lo the news and gossip of the three great bianches of Ins government make It superfluous t,o point out the effect which the decisions of the supremo court, one way or the other, In these great cees will certainly have In tho field of finance. Almost pathetlo is the eagerness with which those here who are in communication a 1th "the market' dutch at every crumb , of news or gossip tin this subject. 'Industrially, as Mr. Wickersham said to the court, practically the , whole scope of modern corporate organisation . is .

Political Jeaders here closely reflecting the minds of leaders of industry express the mcrj or less vague here that the court, should its Judgment sustain the gov.rnmcnt and be hosttlo to the defendant corporations, will In handing down its d olrlnn paint out some measure of that .rel'ef which f rum any point of view appears outside the possible range of legislation.
