Must Vote to Increase School Levy.

The state tax commission has de-
cided that it is necessary this year to
have a vote of all the electors of. a
school district in order to increase the
tax levy for school purposes. In order
to legally increase the school taxes it
will be necessary for the district to call
a meeting of all its electors and hold
a special session for the purpose of
voting the levy. The amount of the
tax that can be raised this year is 2
per cent more than that allowed last
year.

Certain Ingredients That Really Grow
Hair " non properly Combined
Resorcin is one OF the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and IN connection with Beta
Napthol, which il both germicidal
and antiseptic, combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its natural nour-
ishment, and also creates a clean,
hea lthy condition of the scalp, which
prevents the development of new
germs.
Pilocarpin, although not coloriug
matter OF dye, is well-known in
gredient for restoring the hair to its
natural color, when the loss of hair
has been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper com BIZ
nation, with alcohol added as a stlm-
ulant and for its well defined nourish-
ing properties, perfect the most
effective remedy that is known for
scalp and hair troubles.

BoUTELL ON BRYAN.
Il His "Shall tho People Ruler"
Simply 80 Local Issuef"

Il His "shall tho People Rule"
Simply 90 Local Issue~
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell Of Chicago. commenting On MI
Bryan's speech In Iowa, says:
Mr. Bryan's question "Shall the peo-
pie rule" implies that somewhere In
this country the people do not rule,
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex,
pected to give Overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question u
purely "a local ISSUE II be Is dn-
cere, challenge him to make a speech
In vicksburg. Mis-. on Government
by the People" Let him repeat one Of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitute
Ing mississippi" for philippines" and
BLACK brothers" for brown brothers"
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man Of his meeting John Sharp Will
liams, leader Of the Democrats In Con
gress, and as vice-chairmsn the other
members Of the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi
And after he has made his speech
In vicksburg, II he shall have escaped
the rule of the people In that COM
munity, dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government In
Charleston. S. c., with Senator TIL
man as chairman OF his meeting. Ar.
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. OF this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed tariff sched-
ule should be repealed. and every time
trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
IL on March next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de
llvered by him In his speech OF last
Friday, II would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on Industrial
chaos. II he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar TO punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing S60,0OO0OO year
In revenues. and would stir UP a revo-
luton In Louisiana, Utah. Colorado
and Michigan. Then. II he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas we're dump
Ing goods In China In rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further Industrial ruin.
But, Of course, Mr.. Bryan would DO
none Of these things. any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum

defence Of the Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall the People Rule p
