YOUR HAT
May Bc a Stylish One, But II Makes
Trouble.

A man usually buys a hat that's
Gin style" but the modern hat for
men has lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more num-
erous every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of
the hair.
When your hair begins TO fall out
and your scalp Is full Of Dandruff II
Is sure sign that these countless
germs are busly at work.
There is but one way to overcome
the trouble and kill the gorms-that
way Is to apply Newbro's Herpicide to
the scalp-it will kill the germs and
healthy hair is sure to result.

THE POWER or ,ryuNcrIoN.

People are asking Mr.. Gompers why
he does not carry his labor vote-mucf
or little as he can deliver-ovsr to the
Independence League, which[has giver
| him an anti-injunction plank which
really means something. This reads:
1--WE assert that in all actions grow.
ing out of dispute between employer:
and employees concerning terms or con-
ditions of employment no injunction
should issue until after a trial upon thu
merits, that such trial should be ha6
| before a jury, and that in no case OF
alleged contempt should any person BIT
deprived of liberty without a trial b!
jury
This is something tangible. which car
not be said of the planks of the Other
ises no departure from the present. prac-
tice further than a general expression
that care and consideration should pre-
cede the issuance of such writs. Every
one believes in that-none more than
the Judges, who issue the writs. and feel
to fullness the grave responsibility. The
Democratic plank seems to promise
much more than this, but it follows the
old Democratic practice of artful con-
struction, so as to be explainable in
different localities according to the pc
culiar taste of that particular locality.
1t is like the man who wanted an ap-
pointment to teach school, and when
asked whether the earth was round or
fiat, said that depended on the majority
of the trustees. If they wanted it taught
that the earth was fiat, he would teach
that way. If they wanted it round. then
round it should be.
The Independence plank, however,
leaves no doubt whatever. Injunctions
shall not issue until after a trial by
jury. If strikers propose to stop the
running of trains, burn doVn ware
houses, blow up bridges. flood mines, or
do anything of that kind, the court
cannot interfere with them until after
jury of IL good and true men have
sat on" the question and decided af-
Tentatively.
This would strike down an indispens-
able guard to life and property. In
functions restrain men who are bent
on harming some one else. If they mean
and threaten no harm, no Injunction can
issue. To be of value an injunction
must instantly issue when the danger
is imminent. II it is wrongfully OBJ
tanned. the men who may be injured
have a full legal remedy against those
who obtain it. Only men plotting in
jury to some one else are opposed to
the power of injunction.

GAS pRoDucER ENGINE FOR WAR.

Il
! AS The National Tribune has been
teaching for years, the gas producer
engine is the motive power of the fu-
ture, and will in time supplant all other
methods of producing power except the
/ fall of water. The gas producer engine
is scientific and logical. since it reduces
to the last degree the Intervention be-
tween the development of heat in the
furnaces and the application of power
to the crank. Therefore, a pound of
| coal will do twice as much work in
the gas producer engine as 1t does in
steam engine. Very much less of it
is wasted in the transmission of power.
The gas producer engine resembles a
base-burner stove; in the place of the
| magazine in a base-burner stove is a
vessel containing water, while the coal
is packed around it. When the fire is
started the lower part of the coal be-
gins to burn, and the upper part of the
machine gives off gas mixed with steam
from the water. This is drawn down
thru the fire, thence thru a washer
to clean it of tar and other impurities,
and then is exploded in a cylinder like
an ordinary gas or gasoline engine. A
large number of gas producer engines
are already in operation in this country
and in Europe, and the number is daily
increasing. The British Admiralty is
contemplating building warships with
gas producer engines. These, if they
fulfill their promise, will have a great
advantage over any other engine espe-
cially steam. In the first place, they
will produce twice as much power from
given amount of COAL which is highly
important in these days when the life
of war vessel is coal, and the length
of her run is determined by the guam
tity that she can carry. The gas pro-
Queer engine occupies about one-third
the space of a steam engine and weighs
only about one-fourth. This would
enable heavier guns and thicker armor
to be carried. A gas producer engine
does not require anything like the
attendance that steam engine
does. With the coal and water cham
bers filed, the engine will run for a
long time without further attendance,
instead of having great army of stok-
ers constantly at work, as in the case
of the steam engine. There would be
no great smokestacks on a gas pro-
Queer war vessel for the enemy to fire
at and to make her visible for a long
distance. Finally. the gas engine, with
its many cylinders, would be less liable
to complete disablement, as any one of
the cylinders<could be put out of COM
mission without more than reducing
the power of the vessel. These are the
advantages that are claimed, but there
are disadvantages, and these are being
carefully considered before it is decided
to build a ship on the new plan I'll

The Supreme Court of Virginia
has handed down a far-reaching opinion
on liquor selling. The first strong
clause of this is that the mere possess
sion by any person of a license from
the United States Government for SELL
ing liquor is prime facia evidence of
the violation of State liquor laws. This,
of course, does not apply where the
seller has also received a State license.
The singular thing about this is the
assumption that the United States
officers are 50 much better in en-
forcing the laws than the local officers
that is, man runs more risk
in selling liquor without a United
States license than he does in violating
the State restrictive laws. 1t was
also decided that express companies
could and must carry consignments of
liquors into dry Counties when they are
regularly shipped by their patrons.

An excursion which seems commend
able is that to be made by professors
and students of Washington and Jeffer-
son College. They will go to Cumber-
land, Md, and travel on foot over the
route to Pittsburg traversed by WASH
ington in 1853, and later by Braddock
in his disastrous expedition against Fort
du Quesne. This is a good example for
others to follow in their Summer out
ings. 1t is am admirable way to learn
history and cultivate patriotism. Our
country is becoming very rich in his
torical points, and our people will get a
better comprehension of what the past
has meant and what the country is by
making their outings excursions to
points of much interest in our history
and familiariZing themselves with the
events and what led up to them.

At will be surprise to learn that
the riding contest. This. however, will
not bring any severe damage to the
General, since his rank takes him out
of the class who are summary retired
upon the discovery of their inability to
cover 80 miles on horseback in three
days. All officers of lower rank are
examined by the Surgeons after their
ride. and if found in any degree dis
abled must be at once retired. This
does not apply to general officers. how
ever. 1t seems singular. tho, that the
son of such thoro horseman as U. S.
Grant should at the comparatively early
age of Gen. Fred Grant be deficient
in horsemanship. Gen. u. S. Grant
remained an enthusiastic horseman I'M
til he was stricken with his last illness.
and 1t was supposed that Gen. Fred
was the same. The trouble with Gen.
Fred is that he was born with a golden
spoon in his mouth, and in his youth
did not have to rough it as other young
Lieutenants did. AS soon as he grad
uated Gen. Sherman went to his moth
er. and congratulated her upon the fact
that Fred would be currying his own
horse inside of month" This did not
please his mother. and she appealed
successfully to Gen. Sheridan to take
him upon his staff. 1t was ill-advised
motherly tenderness which is now bear
ing fruit.

END OF THE NIGHT RIDERS.

We may now look with some conf
dence to termination of that disgrace
to Kentucky, the night riders. The de-
cent people of the State are becoming
aroused to the injury that these ex-
cesses are causing, and are organizing
against the midnight depredators A
cavalry troop of young business men
has been organized at Lexington to
fight the night riders. and this indi-
Gates that public sentiment is being
strongly directed against the criminals
The work of the night riders show
how the Southern States were dra-
gooned into secession against the will
of the majority of the people. In ev-
cry State. except South Carolina, the
people were, more or less. opposed
to Secession, but the Secessionists Or
ganiZed small bands like the night rid
ers and terrOriZed the Union people.
No matter how brave and determined
a Union man might be, he could not
stand having bands of men visiting his
house at night, threatening or inflict-
ing personal violence upon him. killing
his stock, and burning his barns and
crops. The great mistake that the
Union men of the South made was not
in doing as the Kentuckians have at
last done, organizing and Furnishing

as the Daughters of the Confederacy
have done to Georgia. Nobody wants
to go into State. nobody wants to in
vest money in a State, nobody wants to
live in a State where the laws are de-
fed and Terrorism reigns-where mid
night burnings, whippings and murders
go on unchecked.
In the same way no one wants to go
to Georgia, or invest money where the
women are industriously tanning into
flame the most cruel embers of the
war feeling.

1t is worth While considering in con-
nection with the Panama Canal that
the great increase in business by the
Suez Canal has compelled it's enlarge
ment, which is now going on at great
expense. When opened in 1869 the
canal was from $50 feet to 800 feet
wide at the water level, ~ feet wide al
the bottom and rs feet deep. The work
which is now going on will widen the
bottom of the canal so feet and deepen
it to BAH feet. This will be accom-
plished within the next five years. What
complicates the work is the constan,
sitting up by the great sand storms o.
the Arabian Desert. So profitable is
the Suez Canal that the net dividend
has risen since 1906 from 1921 to
$3.50 per share. While the work OF
deepening and widening is going or
there will be other great improvements
such as building new docks and piers

book. which is now in press. is mainly
devoted to disappearing the current
stories. The commonly received story
is that during the War of 1912 Samuel

used generally until 1912. and that the
obituary notices of Samuel Wilson dc

like "Old Glory" the thing naturally
grew without anybody being directly
responsible for IT.

CASTRO AND THE DUTCH.

Castro's dispute with Holland has
reached a much more inhammatory
stage than that with us. The Datch
Minister has been telling lot of truth
about Castro and Venezuela, and, fur
thermore. what he said has been pub
lished, and. worst of all. he intended ii
to be published when he wrote it. In
association in Holland. which has for
an object the securing of places for
young Dutchmen in foreign countries,
advising them to send no one to Vene-
zuela owing to the misgovernment of
the country. the character of its ruler
and the wretched commercial condi-
tons which had resulted. There is no
doubt of the truth of what the Minister
said. and Castro takes the old legal view
of the greater the truth the greater the
libel. He claims that the Minister'S of
Tense was very much greater than those
for which ne demanded the recall OF
Lord Sackvilie West and Dupuy de
LONE. This is doubtless true, but Cas-
tro was an infinitely greater provoca-
ton than those diplomats had. Castro
refuses to allow any communication
whatever with the Dutch, even to per-
NIT letters to be sent to the German
Minister, who is in charge of the Dutch
interests at Caracas. We are decidedly
interested in this incident, since the
Dutch have had long experience with
such recalcitrants as Castro, and have
always found a way to successfully deal
with them. BY the time Senior Castro
gets thru with the Dutch he will prob
ably know more, tho he may not be so
picturesque as at present.

The elimination of the Bible from
the public schools has already brought
sad consequences which educators have
been compelled to notice. At the re-
cent meeting of the National Educa-
ton Association, at Cleveland, the
question of how far morals should be
taught in the schools was the principal
topic for discussion, and the general
consensus of opinion was that the next
step in education must be to put con-
science training beyond mental train
ing. AS we have frequently said, in The
National Tribune, there can be no other
such a good textbook of morality and
conscience as the New Testament, and
it has also the immense advantage of
being the best model of pure English
in our literature. The scholars who
come from our schools to-day are not
only slack-twisted as to morals, but are
not able to express themselves orally or
in writing with-the force and precision
of their fathers and mothers They would
have gained very much in both direc-
tons if the New Testament had been
retained as one of the textbooks
which they were compelled to study
daily.
