Unprincipled attempts are made by
competitors who boast of their inten-
ton to obtain possession of the en-
tire baking powder business, and
force the community of housekeepers,
by undertaking DIR. Prices powder,
to use their own inferior compounds,
advertising their own as absolutely
pure, and DR.. Prices of no compare

Baking Powder has been in use for
years, and is known to be superior in

truthfullness of this assertion, let it
be tested in the kitchen in the family

1t is natural that consumers should
look with no little degree Of suspicion
upon commodity that seeks for favor
and sale by misrepresentation of other
competing productions. There are
three classes of persons competent to
speak of the relative merits of baking

pronounce it the best. Eminent chem

THE Philadelphia Record says:
"The people of Illinois are now enter
ing upon the trial of two experiments,
the result of which will be watched
with interest in other states. The
high license experiment, if they sue
coed in Illinois, may be ventured upon
with more confidence elsewhere, for
the reason that the trial is made upon
vicious urban population as well as
upon the people of country towns and
villages. While we think that the
scheme of high license covers the
germ of practical temperance re-
form, we have no confidence at all in
the system of compulsion as applied
to school attendance or to any other
matter which is the sole and single
affair of the family" The STATES
MANS opinions, often expressed, are
about the same as those of the Record.
High license is the only solution of
the liquor question; compulsory edu-
cation is not only a vicious in
fringsment upon private rights, but
it is phase of government danger
ously antagonistic to popular SUI
premacy.

ONLY one year ago the university
of Mississippi was opened to young
women. OF the graduating class.
given diplomas few days ago, in all
twenty-six, twelve were women, and
in scholarship they were quite equal to
men. and two women were
granted diplomas in special de-
partments. Chancellor Stewart
speaks in the highest terms
of their department and scholarship.
He says the experiment has been emil
nently successful, and he hoped to see
hundreds of young women attend the
Institution next session. Mississippi
opened the way to higher education
for women after the provision was
adopted in their favor il Texas by our
constitution makers; but there re-
manned one act-that of the regents
in discriminating against female ma
triculants-which no other state will
follow. The liberality of Lawmakers
is supplanted with the illiberalitv OF
a discriminating regency. But the
people of Texas will repudiate the
act. and as great generosity will be
extended to women as to men. Tht
spirit of our laws does not tolerate
intolerance for women.

In THE LAST DITCH.
Desperation of the Alum Baking Pow
der Men.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company
against all forms of adulteration in
baking powder seems to be having a
mortuary effect upon the alum baking
powder makers and vendors of this
locality. The Royal Company set out
1t was the first to bring to light the
use of alum for this purpose, and to
expose the Infamous tricks and
schemes of the alum concerns, who
were endangering the health and
lives of the public that more profit
might be derived from their powders.
1t called them by name, denounced
them to the public authorities, and
succeeded (by the aid of the press and
an enlightened public sentiment, in
driving them, step by step, from the
east until they are now at bay in the
southwest and on the Pacific slope.
All forms of alum baking powders
are now being foisted upon the market
in this vicinity. Their use has been
universally condemned bp medical
men as absolutely dangerous to
human life. The presence of alum
cannot be detected except by chem
Ccl dId1y anu
aware of its use until it's effects have
shown themselves in a disordered
system.
1t is because of the continued, vigo-
rous and successful pursuit of these
dangerous alum baking powders that
their proprietors and peddlers are now
endeavoring to vent their spite and
revenge their disappointment by cir
culating absurd falsehoods and sham
analyses against the Royal Baking
Powder.
1t won't work. The Royal Baking
Powder has, during the last quarter
of a century, earned a reputation
throughout the world which no such
,lishonorable and tricky adveturers
can pull down or destroy. 1t has
stood the test of long. actual practi
cal use, and has been Endorsed by the
Government chemist, Prof Mott, and
0y all the most eminent chemists OF
the country, as in all respects abso
lutely pure and wholesome, and of the
very highest leavening power. 1t is
aot posi- lie for the new, expert
mental, and suspicious baking pow
ders, no matter with what blandish-
nents or inducements they are ac-
;ompanied. to supplant it in the
public favor. jy4d&w1t.

NO, sir: don't believe newspaper men are

my rule and say that the Tonic is not merely
the best thing but the only thing that breaks
up these attacks. All desk-workers should
make a note of it,"
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be ad-
yertised and sold simply under the name of
Farker's Tonic. As unprncipled dealers are
constantly dereiv'ng their customers by
substituting inferior articles under the
name OF ginger; and as ginger is really an
unimportant ingredient, we drop the mlslead-
ing word.
There is no change, however, in the prepar-
alton itself, and all bottles remaining in the

Celebrated Case.

The state VS.. the Western Union
telegraph company will come on for
trial in the district court this morn
ing. This is somewhat celebrated
case. 1t is the suit wherein the state
sues the telegraph company to recov-
er certain taxes. The state obtained
judgment for $1,000 in the district
court. 1t was appealed to the state
supreme court and the judgment
affirmed. Then it was taken to the
United States supreme court, and re-
versed and remanded to the state
courts for a new trial, and this will
begin to-day. The company claim the
tax is unconstitutional, and the con-
struction of the federal constitution
will be the object of the present trial.
Mr.. Doom is counsel for the state and
Walton & Hill for the defendant COM
pany. The legal arguments will be
very exhaustive and highly interest
ing-a little too solid for the Fo nth
of July perhaps.

THE COURTS.
County Court.
Judge 2. T. Fillmore, presiding; Frank Brown
Clerk.

Clerk.
In the case of g. j. Mccoy and mar
ried daughter, Lou Golding. and
James Mccoy. her brother, and James
Sandford, charged by John w. Nc
Coy with aggravated assault, the ac-
cused were fully acquitted; Trigg and
Darlington, attorneys for the defense.
James Mccoy is also son of Mr.. G.
J. Mccoy, who is man of Is years Of
age. The public are already familiar
with the facts in the case.
This court will be pretty fully
engaged with the docket ending this
week. Through the efficiency of
Acting County Attorney Morris, in
preparing papers, and Deputy Sheriff
Walter Robertson in summoning wit
nesses and serving various processes
of the court, an unusual number of
cases have been gotten ready for trial
this term of the court.
Stephen Mays, colored, was put on
tEjal for assault on Ashton Dixon, also
cclored.
The cases against members of the
legislature and lobbyists, for gaming,
were continued by the state on ac-
count of the absence of several of the
witnesses for the state who werr be-
fore the grand jury. 1t appeared
that one of the witnesses was in Ar
kansas. one gone to- Mexico, one in
West Texas, and the whereabouts of
one was unknown. There was some
talk of using the indicted parties as
witnesses against each other, but this,
under the statute, would necessitate
dismissing the cases against those
who testified to anything tending to
inculpate themselves.

A colony of Norsemen, under Eli
rick the Red, settled in Greenland in
1856. 1t is known that at one time the
colony became populous, possessing
283 towns, cathedral, 10 churches
and monasteries. The settlement
was made on the east coast of Baf-
fms Bay, latitude 60 degrees and 55
minutes. In 1911 it's first bishop was
ordained, the last in 1404. Not
long after this the native col
ony suddenly disappeared, and
nothing has been heard of it since
Their icy towns remain uninhabited
save by white bears and foxes. In
1929 the east coast was thoroughly ex-
plored by Captain Gralh, of the Dan
ish navy but no traces of the ancient
colonists were discovered. The set :
Elements on the west coast are ruins
But implements of iron and wood
have been found, and church bells,
and great stone bearing Runic
characters commemorative of Ascen-
sion day is in existence. The disap-
pearance of these people has remained
u mystery. Some believe the
plague slew all the settlers
in the fourteenth century; others that
pirates destroyed them, others that
the Esquimaux annihilated them
But the colony was in existence halt
a century after the great plague era
and the Morse pirates would hardly
attack such remote and simple colo
MES. At the time the Norsemen set
tied in Greenland the country was de-
serving of its name Its climate was
not so cold, and the glazial period
had not come. When it did CONF
the region on the coast became
'nhabitable, and it has been thought
probable that the colony moved t,
he interior away from the icy coast.
1t has been observed that birds mi
CRATE in vast numbers towards tn,
unknown interior. and it is believed
that there the country is still greer
and productive. A theory has been
advanced that these people are now
living beyond impossible barriers OF
ice, and the Nordenskjold expedition
aas been fitted out to explore Green
land and discover. if possible, theil

pushed explorer and he will spend
fourteen months in the undertaking.

this article to be so composed as to

force consistent with the composition
of pure Cream of Tartar Baking

known rival baking powders, I find
that it is eXcelled by none of these,

According to the Chicago LINES,
Brady, the eX-star-router. is credited
with a little speculative operation by
which, it is said, Bliss, the govern
ment lawyer, has lost considerably
more money than even his enormous
ices in the star route case amount to.
Not long ago Brady went into large
speculation in oil by which he is said
TO have made 81 ,OO0OO0 A portion of
this he put into Rio Grande stock,
which he so skillfully manipulated
that Bliss, whom Brady knew was on
the other side of the deal, was shaken
out" after some heavy losses. The
star reuters were altogether too smart
for the government lawyer in more
ways than one.
