NOW THE SWEDISH SHAMPOO"
Massage That Is Said to Aid the Scalp
Wonderfully.

The up-to-date girl "currycombs"
her hair now! She calls it the Swedish
shampoo, because the method is said
to have originated there.
With the Swedish system there are
no wet tresses, no danger of taking
lcold; but there is such thorough
and massage of the scalp
THAT the circulation is wonderfully
stimulated. The first part of the treat
ment is a vigorous combing. This is
done with kind of currycomb, con-
sisting of a piece of leather, studded
with short. flexible metal teeth, slant
ing sufficiently to prevent them from
scratching the scalp. This comb is
brought firmly through the hair again
and again, removing all dust and
dandruff from the scalp.
Next the hair is parted, and an alb
sorbent powder shaken in, whose mis-
sion is to cleanse the hair and keep it
dry and fluffy. Then comes the brush

brushed glossy and clean. A Russian

is used. Sometimes a tonic is rubbed
in. But the main thing is the manipu-

cleansing powder, which is said to
take the place of soap and water.

Censorship of the Press,

The Democrats of the senate and
house will do well to watch the bill
introduced by Senator Penrose on the
9th of December 1t amends section
1898 of the revised statutes and pur.
ports to be measure for the enforce.
ment of the law against obscene liter:
allure, but reading of the bill arouses
the suspicion that 1t has another pur-
pose The amendment is so broad that
it is question if i does not establish
a censorship Of the press and vest in
the postof1ce department the right to
arbitrarily exclude papers from the
second class mailing privileges.
The bill should be SO amended as to
make it impossible for the postoffice
department to exercise a censorship
over political papers. We can not af-
ford to subject political arguments to
censorship.
The dangers involved in such a law
far outweigh any good that could
come from it. Freedom of press is es-
sential to free government, and in ex-
Guiding obscene matter care must be
taken not to lodge in the postoffice de-
partment discretion which will cover
other matters.

ach or complexion. This she consid-
ers is done by glass of aperient wa
ter. Many persons prefer this dose
in the morning, but under the particu-
lar conditions night always seems to
me the best time for it.
If one Is so fortunate as to have
bath tub with hot water always on
tap it is the greatest possible refresh
ment, after a long evening, to take a
tub before getting into bed. The
water should be drawn as hot as can
be endured without discomfort. There
will be no danger of taking cold, for
one should get into bed Immediately
afterward. Not more than five min
utes extra will be consumed in taking
this most refreshing bath, for the tub
can be filling while one is undressing,
and the soothing effect of immersion
in hot water more than repays any
trouble. There should be an eve
lotion and some soft old muslin near
the bed, where it can be readily ap.
piled. No simple eye tonic is better
than a five per cent. solution of boracic
acid in which a few drops of camphor
water have been added, if desired.
Two little pads of muslin should be
soaked in this, and when quite wet
laid over both eyes. The moisture
causes them to adhere, and they will
remain on for an hour or more. When
dryness causes them to drop of it is
very wise precaution if one awakes
to wet them again, for by this means
there will be no heaviness of the lids
the next day, and the eyes will feel no
fatigue.
If, instead of having been to a din
ner, one is going late to bed after a
fast of some hours, it is the greatest
possible mistake not to take some
kind of nourishment first. To sleep
when the stomach is entirely empty
is quite impossible, and something
easy of digestion should be taken.
Warm milk, slightly sailed, is most
beneficial. but if one is so situated
that anything hot is impossible to get,
some substitute must be taken. Cold
milk should be avoided, as at low
temperature it is difficult of digestion.
Malt extract for those with whom it
agrees is good; also fruit, biscuits or
anything light.

Who Is Copyina?

The Washington Post may not re-
gard it as a serious mistake, but in
recent editorial it says that the
Nebraska platform repeats many of
the paragraphs of the Taft platform
adopted at Columbus-not word for
word, of course, but meaning for mean
Ing" and then it proceeds to specify.
1t quotes the Republican platform as
favoring protection of illegal trusts,
monopolists and all evil doors, both In
the public service and in the CONNER
cial world, together with the enforce
ment Of all wholesome measures
which have made safer the guarantee
of life, liberty and property" The
Nebraska platform is quoted by the
Post as follows: I'VE favor the vigor-
our enforcement of the criminal law
against trusts and trust magnates, and
demand the enactment of such addi-
tional legislation as may be necessary
to make it Impossible for a private
monopoly to exist in the United
States" This, the Post alleges, "is
tweedledee and tweedledum drawn to
fine point"
In the first place, the language
quoted from the Democratic platform
of March was copied verbatim from
the Nebraska Democratic platform of
last September, so that if anybody
copied the Taft managers have cop
led the Democratic platform.
Will the Post make the correction
and admit that the Nebraska Demo
Gratis were in the field first, or will it
allow the mistake to stand?
But, as a matter of fact, the two
paragraphs are not at all alike. The
Republican platform asks for the pros
ecution of illegal trusts and monopo-
lies. 1t does not AK for the en-
forcement of the criminal law against
trusts and magnates," neither does
the Republican platform demand "the
enactment of such additional Iegisla-
ton as may be necessary to make it
Impossible for a private monopoly to
exist in the United States" There
is no suggestion in the Republican
plank, quoted by the Post, of addition
al legislation, while the Nebraska plat
form demands additional legislation.
1t not only demands additional legisla-
ton, but 1t specifies certain legisla-
ton which is demanded, as follows:

Plutocracy's Defenders.

Leslies Weekly is one of the papers
that habitually seek to deceive and
mislead the public. 1t recently pub
lished an article entitled Then Panic
Stood at the Threshold" and the ar
ticle has been published in the Official
Time Table (No. 212) of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad (Which went into effect
in February.
Leslie's Weekly condemns the Sher-
man antitrust law and declares 1t
failure; it finds fault with the passage
of that law and claims that it was
enacted under pressure of public
clamor" 1t complains of the "denun-
citation of the wealthy" and declares
that the railroads want to be sure
that for some simple and perhaps in
nocent infraction of complicated law
they can not be mulcted for millions"
1t attacks the courts and the Judge
who imposed the $29, 100000 fine for
"a technical violation Of the law" 1t
calls these and other decisions "out-
rageous" and says they were formed
by socialistic public sentiment and
carried out in the name Of law, etc.,
ETC."
Was the editorial written for the
Pennsylvania railroad or did the
Pennsylvania railroad just happen to
stumble on to the editorial? Who
owns Leslie's Weekly? Is it not worth
while for the reader to find out who
stands behind these magazines that
assault the government, the congress
and the legislature? Whose knife is it
that is stabbing out of the dark? What
conscience, what character, what repu-
tation stands back of the editorial in
Leslies Weekly? If we knew the con-
trolling force we could better weigh
the words, and the above is only a
sample of what is now going on in this
country.
The press that ought to be the ave-
nue. through which information reaches
the public has in many cases become
the vehicle for the spread of misin-
formation and for yelled attacks upon
those who would enact legislation just
to the masses.

Under the Guarantee system.

A reader of the Commoner sends in
an item in regard to an Iowa bank
which failed. The amount on deposit
was about 100000, of which $1,000
belonged to the county. The county
had security and as soon as the failure
was known the county compelled the
bondsmen to make good the deposit,
but the individual depositors, not hav-
ing any protection, lost considerable
part of their deposits.
Under the guarantee system all of
the depositors would have been paid
in full and the community would not
have suffered from embarrassment.

COMMONER
COMMENTS
WARMING TO DEMOCRATS
MoNOPoLlSTfc INFLUENCES SEEK
CONTROL OF CONVENTION.
Watchfulness Needed to Prevent Dupii-
cation of Underhand Work of Four
Years Ago Nebraska and
Taft Platforms Compared.
IFrom the Commoner.l

Just after the election of 1904 a
man who was prominent among the
advocates of Mr. Parker's nomination
at ST. Louis remarked that a great
many people who were advocating MIR.
Parker'S nomination showed very little
interest in the campaign after the
nomination. 1t is true. There are
certain financial interests which are
always active before the convention;
they want to dominate both parties
and nominate both candidates. After
the convention adjourns, they pick out
their candidate and proceed to help
elect him, ignoring entirely the other
candidate. even if they helped to
force him upon the convention. That
is just the situation at this time.
There are certain monopoliStic inf1u-
ences that are demanding that the
Democrats nominate man friendly TO
predatory wealth. These men have
their representatives in the various
states, and they are working under
hand When they talk to man they
say: COT course, we cannot prevent
instructions, but we can get the right
kind of men on the delegation, and
then watch our opportunity" These
men are speaking in whispers; they
are working underground. If they can
control the Democratic convention
and nominate some one in whom the
predatory interests have confidence,
they will then feel sure that the DEM
ocratic party has no chance, and pro-
coed to help the Republican candi-
date
Can they fool the voters? Not this
time. The experience of four years
ago has not been forgotten and with
that experience fresh in memory the
Democrats will put none but the trust
worthy on guard. If the Democratic
voter wants to understand the real
purpose of the trust papers. let him
compare the eulogies of Judge Parker
which appeared before the convention
with the denunciations of him that fol
lowed. These papers that told what
splendid man he was and how
strong the party would be under his
leadership turned against him as soon
as the campaign opened. The New
York World, one of his loudest cham
pions, received money from the Re
| publican campaign committee for an
| advertisement (unless the World pub
| lished it gratuitously) for space for 2
scurrilous cartoon the Sunday before

The interest of predatory wealth in
the Democratic party is only tempo
| rary 1t is manifested just before the
| convention, because it would cost less
to defeat the Democratic party in the
| convention than to defeat it at the
| polls, and the defeat of the Democrat
ic party is the only thing which II
desires.

suit in the Breckenridge Circuit
Court against the City of Cloverport
for $1,000 and interest from July II,

This suit grows out of the Local OPP

by reason of a License issued to them
for the sale of liquor in this city,
which they claim was wholly without
consideration and that the city had
no legal authority to issue same, that
the said license was void under the
law and was no protection to them in
their business. They further say that
by reason Of said license being void
they were compelled to close up their
business from the expiration of the
period for which said license was
granted at great loss and expense to
them.
They further say they have de-
manded of the plaintiff to repay the
said sum of 81, 200, but they have re-
