' Seasonable Thoughts About Boys’ Needs.
We are well aware of the exacting requirements /
which constitute correct dress for Boys, and our
exhibit of practical styles as well as the most
extreme novelties in designs are the creations of
the foremost talent in boys’ tailoring, the show
ing of Spring Fashions are authentic, original
and attractive; the effects so winning they irre
sistibly appeal to a sense of the beautiful.
There is a wide difference in Boys’ clothes; but
here you do not speculate ; the fabrics are the
newest, the workmanship is the finest money
can obtain—there is an absolute insurance of
satisfaction here now, and always.

That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
nervous system.
People can’t help feeling lazy and worn
out if impure blood flowing through all
the organs is poisoning them and para
lyzing their activity.
Spring is the season of blood impurity.
Nine people out of ten would feel better
through use of
SELLS’ SARSAPARILLA.
This is a blood purifier that really puri
fies. Pure rich blood means buoyant
health. Be your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

VETO VOID SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Inconsistent Governor Receives Shar}
Criticism From Murphy—His Ob
jections Legally False And Re
jected Bills Become Laws.
In answer to a request, Attorney
j General George W. Murphy has de
livered the following opinion:
“All the bills returned by the gov
ernor to the secretary of state on las
Saturday are valid laws, those he un
dertook to veto as well as those heap
proved. Aside from being a whole
sale sort of document, his so-callet
veto assigns no objection whatever t<
any bill or measure, but states as it
| sole reason that the bills were no
! presented to him in time, and that
I consequently, he had no authorit.
I either to approve or disapprove them
“The presentation having occurre<
I in twenty legal days after the adjourn
| ment of the legislature—that is, with
| in twenty days in which work migb
| lawfully be performed—his allege
j reason for vetoing is no reason at al
| iu a legal sense. This principle i
J recognized by the supreme court c
our state, and is not the subject c
even plausible controversy. The in
consistency of the action of the gov
ernor in approving some of the bill
and vetoing others, all presented a
the same time, is manifest. He ha'
! W/-. n nntiAXTQ n nioea 11 q Ir u rl I'll

right to veto; if he vetoed a part o
them because he had honestly re
garded them as not presented in tim
he should have vetoed all. If he ap
proved some because he favored ther
and vetoed others because he did no
favor them he should, had it bee
possible, have been candid enough t
say so, and have stated his objectio
to those he disapproved. If he ha
the right to approve any of them h
had the right to approve all. He di
ha^e the right, and his reason for dis
approval or veto being legally false
the bills falling under his displeasur
become laws to the same extent an
with the same effect as if he ha
formally approved them. If ealle
on by the secretary of state I, sha
advise him to have all the acts thu
returned to him printed as valid laws
and shall also advise him to have th
proposed constitutional amendmen
as the constitution requires, submitte
for ratification or rejection to th
electors at the next general electioi
This he had no authority to veto i
any time or under any circumstance
A proposition for an amendment re
quires the support of a majority of a
the members elected to each branc
of the general assembly, andinasmuc
as a majority of all the mernbei
elected to each house is sufficient t
pass any measure over his veto it
worse than senseless to suppose thi
he had the authority to veto such a
amendment.”

Newport, Ark., May 2(5, 1903.
The Bracy Confectionery Co.,
’ Newport, Ark.
Gentlemen:—In reply to your com
munication asking whether or not a
clay electric service would be put in
and when, we beg to say that we have
not been able to interest tne citizens
r of Newport sufficiently in the day ser
vice to make it possible for us to furn
ish one.
Our solicitor has been trying for a
month or more to work up a list of
' subscribers for the day current but he
has not been able to secure more than
- thirty-five names, and in no instance
1 would any subscriber sign a contract
3 for the season beginning May 1 and
3 ending September 1.
t It will be necessary for us to have at
i least fifty subscribers who will sign a
contract to use the day current for
• three months—that is, from June 1 to
1 September 1—before we can start a
' day current. Even with this number
' we will have to operate the plant at a
fc loss of over 600 per month, but we fig- j
1 ure that when we have installed this
i number of fans we will have no trou
8 bie in getting a sufficient number of
f subscribers to secure us against loss.
f We will send our solicitor out again
before the first‘of June, and if he can
secure the fifty subscribers to the day
8 current who will contract to use it un
1 til September 1, we will start the ser
* vice June 1.
3 The price will be 63.50 per mofith
1 for a twelve inch desk fa i and 64.50
per month for a ceiling fan.
Very truly yours,
Pond-Drcker Electric Lioht Co.
