Find a man who is now en-
gagged in assailing the right of
the toilers, or denying that he
has any rights at all, and you
will almost certainly at the
same time, find a man who
either now holds high office or
will do so before very long"
And in this connection it calls
attention to the fact that Judge

BETRAYED BY HIS OWN WRATH.

The Civic Temperance CO.
operation has played its hand
and triumphantly demon
strated what everybody else al
ready knew-the prevalence of
gambling in the city despite
the administrations protests to
the contrary. The course of
events has been quite dramatic
and Duluth has witnessed the
peculiar spectacle of the mayor
and his chief of police, with their
own official personages, block
ing the path of the laws en-
forcement. Whatever one may
think of the propriety of the
laws against gambling and
kindred vices, no good citizen
will deny that the only policy
to be pursued is their strict en-
forcement. IF the law is wanted
public sentiment will approve
it's execution; if not desired
that same sentiment will com
pei it's repeal. The city execu-
tive has taken an oath to en-
force these laws irrespective of
his own convictions. When he
fails to use due diligence he
violates that oath and stands
before the public perjured
man. ...
But perjury is not the only
fault of which the head of the
administration is guilty. Hy-
pocrisy, though not a statute:
offense, is equally reprehensi-
bic. Truelsen denied the ex-
istence of gambling and de-

The law prohibits the city of
Duluth from paying more than
Z per cent interest on city or
ders. The city officials have
been in the habit of violating
this provision by paying a COM
mission in addition to the in
terest. To the man with lit
tie common sense it would
seem that there is no reason
for this law. It does not in
anyway lessen the greed of the
capitalist and experience proves
that it does not enable the city
to get money at reasonable
rate of interest. Why not quit
fooling ourselves with such
nonsense? Interest is the price
we pay for private control of
the volume of money. We are
dead stuck on private control
and, although the way to get
rid of it is as easy and infinitely
less dangerous than falling off
a log, we wouldn't rid ourselves
of it under any circumstances.
If the capitalist is entitled to
any interest at all he is entitled
to all he can get, and the char
ter limitation in question has
no better basis in common
sense and justice than would
be possessed by a law fixing
the price of potatoes and sauer
kraut.

A Bare Faced Fad.

The fashion of the smooth face con-
tinues to increase in popularity, and
mustaches are daily sacrificed to fad
which is not so we'll adapted to every
man as great many men evidently
think. The style came from England.
1t became SO much the proper thing in
England for men to appear without hair
on their faces that it was finally found
necessary to forbid the practice in the
army, as the loss of whiskers was
spreading so rapidly that there prom
ised to be beardless army in short
while. Unbecoming styles Of dress are
unquestionably accepted when they are
the mode. But it was usually thought
that the selection Of mustache or a
smooth face was founded on a deeper
consideration of what made man look
we'll or the reverse. But that discrimi-
nation has been swept away now by the
enthusiasm with which the unshaved
lip has been acclaimed as the right
style.-San Francisco Argonaut

Mark Twain and Lincoln.

Perhaps it were as we'll, says Charles
Miner Thompson in The Atlantic, to
attribute the popularity of Abraham
Lincoln to his jokes as the vogue of
Mark Twain to his extravaganza foolery.
In the conventional sense, Mark Twain
is no more literary artist than, in the
conventional sense, Lincoln was gen
tleman. But, in spite of lack Of polish,
Lincoln was great. May not Mark
Twain, the writer, in spite of his crude
literary manners, be great also? The
mere possibility ought to be enough in
itself to secure him sympathetic and
serious consideration.

The Shirt Waist Collar.

It would be interesting to trace many
Of the SO called caprices of fashion to
their real source. Many, as is well
known, are of historic origin and re.
ceived their inspiration in the whim of
some royal or other distinguished per-
sonage. The introduction of the sepa-
rate collar shirt waist, which has and is
enjoying a great vogue, was, it is said,
due in the first place to the laziness of
a cutter in one of the fashionable tailor
shops where ladies' waists are made.
He suggested and advocated the style to
save work, it was discreetly talked up
by the head saleswomen, who received
the customers, and the thing was done
we'll done, too, most women will testify.

ARBITRATION AND WAR.

BRIEF out Not Untnteresting Discourse by
the Old Soldier.
"You know can'tget over the fact, "
said the old soldier, THAT there's
heap more heroes in the world than
there was, all due to the civil war. And
you can't tell where you're going to
meet 'em. The man you buy a lead pen
Gil of in the stationery store may have
served, and so may the man you buy
your clothes Of in the clothing store.
just as likely as not the man that
brings your milk in the morning, COM
ing along early through the quiet streets,
may have been at Gettysburg, and the
man that twists the grip wheel of the
cable car you ride down Broadway in
may have marched over narrow cordu-
roy roads, through lofty forests with
gun over his shoulder and a knapsack
on his back.
You see, you can't tell. The man in
the pulpit may have been in it, and SO
may the man that sweeps the streets.
You can't tell about it. The fellers
don't stand round and boiler about it,
but they're heroes just the same-the
salt of the earth on this continent-and
the world is better for 'em, a heap.
They are self reliant and self respecting
citizens, who help to keep the country
sweet. And their children are proud of
them. How proud! And they grow up
all the stronger and better citizens for
this inheritance.
"Still, believe in arbitration
principle-and feel bound to say that I
believe in it in practice too. War is a
frightful waste Of human life and of
material. I can't now and I never
could see the sense Of destroying things,
and think the most tremendously fool
ish thing going is taxing people out of
house and home to keep up great armies
standing that are finally to be destroyed.
And still can't keep thinking that
war like ours, about real principle,
is not without its compensations. It
sort of clears the atmosphere, distrib-
utes backbone around among survivors
and tends to the perpetuation and en-
largement of freedom and the benefit
Of the human race. New York Sun.

Against my breast SO sharp sword.
Would God, instead of belted lord,
That had loved some meaner clay,
Who loved me on to Judgment day.

And set a country heart aflame,
Then left it lone to Quench or burn
Because queen must serve his turn.
Nay, but what boots me my disdain?
Would God my love would come again.

Old Cannon.

If the various Grand Army posts Of
the country were disposed to take ad-
vantage of an offer made at the last ses-
sion Of congress, they might materially
increase the warlike spirit supposed to
pervade every patriotic family, says the
Washington Post. The offer was to sup
ply warlike implements, which, if they
have outlived their usefulness, will
serve as ornaments for post headquar-
ters and might inspire the rising gener-
alton with much patriotic fervor. This
could be accomplished by accepting the
tender of several hundred abandoned
cannon and shot and shell which con-
gress has decided to give to any Grand
Army post that may apply for them
and which are now lying useless and
neglected at the navy yards
These cannon are mostly old style
models OF engines Of war, which might
have been considered just the proper
thing 80 years or more ago, but which,
with the march Of progress and the ad-
vance of invention, have been placed
upon the retired list. Their places have
been filled by guns and munitions of
war of more improved type, and as the
abandoned articles are valuable only as
old metal the government decided that
it could put them to no better purpose
than to give them to the veterans of the
late war, who fought on the Union side
with these same guns
But it is surprising to count up just
how few posts of the immense Grand
Army have taken advantage of this Of
fer. Since the passage of the joint reso-
luton last winter the records in the Of
flee of the secretary Of the navy, where
such applications have to be filed, show
less than 100 from the entire country.
There are still guns on hand for about
700 more posts, yet, strangely enough,
the Grand Army has made no effort to
provide itself with an armament
which, although it would be of little
service in time Of war, is valuable from
an artistic standpoint in time Of peace.

LEE MAJESTY.

How Subject 4of the King of Belgium
Played It.
It is a curious reflection that men
who will face death with impunity are
yet absolutely aghast with fear when
brought into the presence % the great
ones of the earth. Such great divinity
doth hedge king that few men would
venture to assert their Independence or
the right of their manhood if soVer-
eign's view were opposed to theirs.
This is, no doubt, an Inheritance
from the days Of feudalism, when the
monarch was indeed the liege lord Of
all the people. Among the few, how
ever, whose names have come down to
an admiring posterity because they had
the stamina to rely on their own rights
and assert their own desires must be
mentioned the name of NJ. Vanden-
driesche, subject of the king of Bel
GUM. = .... =
Some time ago he saw piece of
ground at Ostend the position Of which
pleased him. As luck had it, it CHANGED
to be directly in front of the kings vii
la. This fact, we may be sure, did not
make it less desirable in thegentleman's
eyes. He called in the aid of architects
and builders and proceeded to erect a
house on it after his own heart Unfor-
tunately, however, his majesty looked
out Of the windows Of his villa one day
and found that his subjects home. if it
had not emulated Aladdin's and sprung
up in night, at all events interfered
with his view, as did that miraculous
structure with the view of the other
sovereign.
The king naturally demonstrated at
this want Of consideration in a subject.
and, no doubt, expected that the remon-
STRANGE would have good effect. So, in
deed, it seemed, for M. Vandendriesche
engaged a number of worlmen, who
proceeded to pull down the edifce, which
had only recently been finished
Alas for the credulity Of the human
mind, even when that mind belongs to
a potentate of the earth! AS soon as the
foundations of the building had been
RACED to the ground, and the king, no
doubt, congratulated himself on that
uninterrupted view Of the country which
he had had before, he was startled to
find that an increased army of builders
arrived to augment the number of those
who had been employed.
Oddly enough also. a huge quantity
OF bricks and mortar appeared on the
scene. These bricks the masons began
to use in the most unaccountable man
ner possible, piling them one on top of
the other with mortar between. It look
ed as if they were building wall.
They were. Slowly, as is the manner Of
masons in every country of the world,
the wall grew by inches. Instead of
villa 10 story fireproof building was
erected, which effectually prevented his
majesty from seeing the country which
lies on the other side of the property of
his recalcitrant subject. -San Francisco
Chronicle.

MUSIC AND THE HAIR.

The Effect of Vibrations Upon the Cover
ing of the Head.
In a recent scientific assemblage
discussion took place upon the influ-
ence of sleep in skin diseases. One Of
the gentlemen who took part stated in
his criticism Of the paper which had
been read that one might as we'll talk
of the influence of music upon the
growth of the hair It would seem that
the suggestion of possible connection
thus thrown out in a testing way has
been taken seriously. At least a CORE
spondent Of LIE Temps has made the
discovery that music Of certain kinds
does in reality prevent the hair from
falling, while that produced by certain
instruments has the most disastrous ef-
fects in causing rapid development of
badness. He finds that while composers
are as prone as others to lose their hair
at all early age those who play their
compositions upon the piano preserve,
if they do not acquire, luxuriant
growth of hair. On the other hand,
wind instruments, and especially the
cornet and trombone, are fatal to hir-
suite adornment. The violoncello and
the harp keep the hair in pretty we'll, but
the flute cannot be depended upon to
preserve strong growth after the fifth
eth year Of age.
A number Of pianists, including Pa
derewski, are cited in confirmation of the
pronounced influence of piano music It
has been admitted for some time that
music has a certain therapeutic worth,
and it will be recalled that DIR. Ferrand
presented report to the French acad-
envy on the physiological influence Of
music, pointing out in what ways it
could be employed with therapeutic
aims. Subsequently DIR. Betzchinsky re-
ported an instance Of night terrors in a
child of years, who was cured by hav-
ing played to it each night music Of a
calming nature written in minor key.
A test was made after a few nights by
emitting the music, and that night
alone the child had an attack.
It has not as yet been determined just
what key is most favorable to the pre-
vention of an early bald state. Prob
ably reasonable way of settling the
disputed point would be to make few
experiments on dogs, thus proving
tolerance for different strains and avoid
ing the horripilation to which some pa
tients of refined tastes might be sub
jected. Wind instruments are always
dangerous if the hair has not good
hold, while stiff haired people can
stand anything. Possibly good rule
for any musician would be as soon as
he finds his hair falling that he should
cease playing for Others -Medical Rec
ord.
