IS THE WORLD GROWING
 WORSE.

Quite a great deal has been said of late the upper classes and we are given to understand that virtue and decency have taken flight from the homes of the best people of our large cities. We are as- sured that the world is growing worse that is, the upper ten portion of 1t. and 1t is pretty continually intimated. if not openly asserted, that there are no good people, men or women, among the wealthy classes of the cities.
 These gloomy pessimists reason from an imperfect knowledge of facts and of history. We have but to hark back three or four centuries to find such conditions existing among the highest classes in England and France as we can hardly have any conception of. Every form of debauchery possible for human beings to indulge in was the rule, and the nobles, men and women, hardly cared to be even decent in their excesses. If we had no other proof of the immortality which seemed to be the rule, we have but to read the literature of that day to be con- vinced. The songs, poems and stories which were popular would not be allowed to go through the mails in this country.
 And yet there Is thread of truth running through the charge that there Is more wickedness in high life now than formerly. We have gotten away from the Puritanism and asceticism of early America, and perhaps the pendulum swings too lar the other way. There is shadow of excuse for it. The very rich have much idle time on their hands and how to pass t off is something of q problem. Not being required to work for living, they must kill time some other way, and 1t is not perhaps sur- prising that they do t ,n ways that shock good people. We may regret the meth- ods adopted to ward off ennui, but have little cause to wonder.
 These Of us who lead busy lives and have little time or money for idle pleas ures, can have little conception of the temptations in the way of those who have nothing to do and to whom money is no object. If they fall into excesses and go beyond the limits of strict moral ity and sobriety, we may ridicule and condemn them, but possibly little pity would not be out of place.
 And the newspapers are largely respon- sibe for the prevailing belief in the rot tenness of society. When a scandal oc- CUTS in high life tine papers arc full of it. in all its details. The matter that has been printed about the Burdick case would fill library, and it is so in every case where the parties are prominent in social circles. Such escapades among the poor might get a few lines in the local paper or in the police reports, and that would be all. Possibly we expect better things from the bstter off classes than we do from others, and possibly. also, we form an unjrst opinion of them because so much prominence and publicity is given to their lapses from the fine code of morals which should govern Ameri- can citizens. But high society is not all bad and the evil example set by some Sodoms and Gomorrahs of our cities and towns. There arc good men and pure women to uphold the credit of our civil ization, and they will do it. If some are bad, there are more who are not, and they will save society.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS
Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause It
 to Fall Out

Many hair preparations are fake be- cause they arc merely scalp irritants. They often cause a dryness, making the hair brittle. and, finally. lifeless. Dan druff Is the cause of all trouble with hair. It is a germ disease. The germ makes cuticle scales as it digs to the root 0f the hair, where 1t destroys the hairs vitality. causing the hair to fall out To cure dandruff, the germ must be he killed. Destroy the .cause. you re- move the effect" Newbro's Herpicide is the only hair preparation that kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair to grow luxuriantly. Sold by lead ing druggists.

Two women who indulged in a some- what promiscuous interchange of cuss words in New York were sentenced to ten months Imprisonment, but we are told that mere men can swear without moles- tation. Wry this partiality in the en- forcement of the law? For merely senti- mental reasons, 1t Is naturally more shocking to hear profanity from a wo. man than from man. but the law has no right to be controlled by sentiment and punishing woman for violating a law which men violate with impunity Is both morally and legally wrong. Punish all alike, or let all swear till the stars fall.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun has it down about right when 1t declares that these attempts of Republican papers to ridicule the idea of Cleveland's nomina. ton are made through fear of him. and not through desire to keep the Demo cratic party from making a mistake. '' The Republicans are not all fools. nor have they forgotten political history. They remember what Cleveland did to them in 1892 and they fear he may repeat the lesson. Republican solicltude is based on apprehension.
