in the case of Edward Batson, charged
with the murder of the Earl family, has
returned verdict of murder in the first

send Batson to the penitentiary for life,

Methods of election are as various as

a councilman from each ward. would
find the most favor among people In

suggest three or five and elect them at
large.
Whether the proposed plan would be
economical. safe and practical only
trial will determine. One thing Is
sure. Most veteran councilmen are
outspoken ir favor of the plan. They
declare that the change would benefit
everybody and facilitate general busi-
ness. The extra salary fees would be
more than saved by clear cut ad-
ministration.
Opponents Of the scheme declare that
II Is undemocratic and a blow at gov

that IL Is the duty of the citizen to

pend in public office and the council

brushes are detestable and only mako
matters worse by irritation. A skilled
masseur can finger the scalp in a way
to revive the blood vessels and accele-
rate circulation, but even this service
would scarce be needed II man could
bring himself to believe that he doesn't
need his hat. What's it good for any
way? A good head of hair will keep
OF the heat In the summer time and
prison 1t in cold weather. In its
healthful state 1t Is almost oily enough
to turn water. Why not let II serve In
its natural capacity?
People often wonder why badness
generally sweeps out such a neat, even
space from the top Of a mans noggin.
These are the cases invariably due to
hat pressure. The most remote spot
becomes bare first-that Is, the most
remote from the arteries. The hair Is
gradually starved to death and falls
away from the top, the blank space
drawing nearer and nearer to the rim
of the hat. The blood Is never en-
tirely cut off but its current turns very
sluggish as ii proceeds above the press
ing band. Thus under the rim the hair
may be fiourishing while above 1t suf-
fers from drouth and barrenness. As
for the inheritance of badness it may
be that the defects Of the scalp some
times travel to the offspring as moral
and mental peculiarities occasionally
do. Generally, however, the inheritors

CHE City Council

Why have fourteen members in the
city council?
Many people ask this question over
and over again. Instead Of proceeding
with an answer they suggest a body
Of men composed Of three, five or sew
en- members to transact the business
of the city at a sufficient salary to
make the whole deal a matter Of finan-
cial gain and not patriotism. The
arguments they advance are varied.
Fourteen men are unwieldy. This Is
the first argument. Then the reasoner
proceeds to show that the affairs of
the city must be farmed out to COM
mittees and in this manner delayed.
1t is argued that a small number Of
men holding frequent sessions and
having regular Office hours could do
far more than a large body holding
desultory meetings.
A salary of $25 monthly is not sufii-
cient to secure the best talent, declare
many citizens. The municipal SER
wants should furnish substantial bonds
and receive munificent salaries. This
would make them responsible and at
