THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.


Though it was not mentioned in
the debate, the discovery of the
fact that President Roosevelt bar
ber is carried on the rolls of the
Navy Department at $1,000 year,
and that Mrs. Roosevelt's private
messenger was on the rolls of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
at 5000 a year, probably had
good deal to do with the fact that
The proposition to increase the
"2sident's salary from $50, 900 to
1000 year was held up in the
nate last Friday. Not only this,
the amendments increasing the
.ries of the Speaker AID Vice
:,ident and giving them car
s-g S, and increasing the salaries
og the whole Federal judiciary
vere all held up. The Senate has
decided that these things need
hooking into.
Tie information about the Presi-
dents barber and Mrs. Roosevelt S
messenger got over to the Senate
through the medium of cloak room
gossip. After the House had COM
pleted the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial appropriation bill and
sent it over TO the Senate, several
members of the House Appropria-
tions Committee complained that

Presidents barber too late for them

1t was not too late for the Senate
to act, however, and though it had

rect reference to the barber and the
messenger, it has begun work fol-

SALARIES INCREASED.

The United States Senate on
Tuesday voted to increase the
Presidents salary from $50, 900 to
$Ioo, 900. President Roosevelt re-
ceives $25 900 year for travelling
expenses and this is omitted from
the present bill.
The salaries OF the Speaker of
the House, and the Vice President
are raised to $4,000 each, and
that of the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court to $4,000 and the
Associates $I4, 900.
The bill must yet go through
the House, and there is some op-

THE CIVIC FORUM LECTURES.

Believing that the thinking peo-
pie of this and surrounding COM
iuunities will welcome and support
a movement having for its puJpos
the moulding and proper direct, n
of public opinion concerning social,
economic and educational questions
OF interest especially to the leaders
in the various professions in society
and in social and literary organiza-
tons. it is proposed to establish a
Civic Forum and Lecture Course.
THE LEADER.
Earl Barnes is one of the best
known lecturers Oh public affairs
now working in America. During
the last ten years he has been Civ
ing all his time and attention to
public lecturing. Dealing with
the development of human nature
as seen in history and the study of
children, he has created new field
of public interest. During recent
years lie has worked much abroad
delivering more than five hundred
lectures in England and Scotland.
In presenting his subjects Mr..
Barnes avoids all the tricks of de-
clamation aud appeals directly to
the intelligence Of his audience.
His message is direct, trenchant
aud practical SO that young and old,
men and women, the learned and
the common people all find some
thing i'll his addresses bearing on
the problem of their daily lie.
In speaking of his work three
weeks ago in Savannah, the News
Of that cily said: There is moth
ing of the dogmatist in Mr.. Barnes
work. One feels the man to be
first aud fundamentally a truth
seeker, with the fine humility and
openness of mind which that i'm
plies. This gives to all his work a
suggestive qnality that cannot be
overstated in It's Importance as an
! III llcl!eCludl stimulus.
I We are especially fortunate in Sc
curing his only open dates until
spring at very moderate expense.

SYMPTOMS OF CIVIC DISEASE
Failure to Pay Poll Tax Robs White
Men of Riqht to Vote.


Jerome B. Wilmer of New Orleans
thinks that big price has been paid
for the disfranchisement of the Ne
groes in the south. He bases it upon
the fact that 1t makes political condi-
tons entirely one sided. and he cites
Alabama, where. he says, 100000 white
men are unable to vote because they
do not pay the poll tax which is re-
quired and which is levied for the pur-
pose of disfranchising the Negroes.
They ask themselves" said Mr.. VIII
mer, "'What is the use? when they
know that the Democrats are going to
win anyhow and their ballots are not
needed. 1t certainly is symptom Of
civic disease when 100000 men of
the Anglo-Saxon race deliberately rob
themselves Of the right Of suffrage"

Minister Lyon
Back In America
United States Representative to the LlttIe
Republic Across the Sea. Home on Two
Months furIoueh. Decorated by
uberian Government With Or.
der Of African Redemption.

Rev. DR.. Ernest Lyon. United States
minister to Liberia, is In America On
two months furlough. This is the
first vacation he has had since 1904.
While here he will probably be called
upon by the state department to dis
cuss the report Of the American COM
mission which recently visited Liberia
to make study Of conditions in that
part of West Africa.
In speaking Of conditions in Liberia
few days ago Dr. Lyon said:
Liberia offers an excellent oppol.
tunity for the investment Of American
capital. The leading citizens of the
republic believe that America can aid
in its economic development. The
trade now is controlled by the English
and German peoples.
''The visit Of the three ENJOYS from
the United States was especially pleas
ing to the ruling classes there. and
they think it indicates new day for
Liberia. The commission was received
enthusiastically and given every oppor-
tunity for learning conditions at first
hand. The official report of the spe-
cial commission Is awaited with pro-
found interest by leading citizens of
the republic. who are hopeful that
many matters favorable to the ma
terial well being of Liberia may be
presented.
The debt of Liberia is not very
large. and conservative business men
Of that country believe that $3,0O0.OOO
will place the republic on Its feet and
make the way possible for an unpar-
alleled commercial Development. The
national debt Is about $l.25O.OO0. The
remainder Of the $300O.0OO could be
used in building railroads and other
conveniences necessary to improve con-
ditions.
Should railroads be built the culti-
walton Of coffee. cocoa, ginger and
other products would give a new in
dustrial meaning to the Inhabitants.
Fruit can be grown on an extensive
scale: also cane growing can be made
profitable.
''Liberians are making commendable
progress along educational lines. The
Methodist Episcopal. African Metho
dist Episcopal and Baptist churches
have established schools. which are
rendering praiseworthy service.
"In word. l believe Liberia offers
opportunities for development far be-
yond the ideas Of the average Ameri-
can"
DR.. Lyon has been minister to L.
IBERIA since 1903. His services have
been eminentiy satisfactory to the
government he represents and that to
which he has been sent, and he has
been decorated by Liberia with the
Order of African Redemption for bis
disinterested services for the uplift Of
Liberians. This decoration Is the
highest honor that the government
awards and is given only to those
who render great services for the
good Of Africa.
Since his arrival in the United States
g DR.. Lyon has been besleged with in
vitations to speak at public functions

Rural Delivery.

Rural delivery of mails was started twelve eyars ago, and now there are in the United States 40,919, mail routes, serv- ing 20,000,000 people.
 At first it was believed that rural free delievery would be a failure.
 Many believed that the ex- pense of the system would bank rupt the postal.
 But look what a harbinger of good things mail delivery has been to the country.
 It has been one of the strong est arguments for good roads, be cause at the very outset the government refused to establish a route if any part of the road on the route was bad.
 When the fact became known in the country the people became more determined to have good roads.
 Before the rural delivery sys- tenn men who now receive their mail once or twice every day re- ceived their mail once or twice week and not that often in very bad weather or in very busy sea son of the year.
 Rural mail delivery has put S00,000 or more country post masters out of 2 job that paid from Sl00 to S400 per year, and giving employment to 50.000 mail carriers at a salary ofS900 to S12,00 per year.
 Surely the mail delivery ser- vice has been great boon to this country.

Germany, and Dr. Sabournd, the leading French dermatologist, discovered that a microbe cauS- es badness. Their theory has time and again been amply veri fled through research expert ments carried on under the ob- servation of eminent scientists. This mlcrobe lodges in the Se bun which is in the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flour ish it destroys the hair follicles and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived.
 Dandruff is a contagious dis ease, which is largely due to a destructive microbe, which when left to pursue it's course causes itching scalp, falling hair and badness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe affecting the glands which produce the seba- ceous matter, which latter then unnaturally dries up and scales off
 We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dan druff, exterminate the microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitallze the hair roots and overcome badness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots.
 We back up this statement with our own personal guarantee that this remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we state.
 It will frequently restore gray and faded hair to it's original col or, providing loss of color has been caused by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye Rexall "93 ]" Hair Tonic accompliShes these results by making every hair root, follicle and pigment gland strong and active, and py stimu lating a naturl flow of coloring pigment throughout the hair cells.
 Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic is entire ly free from grease or sediment, is exceedingly pleasant to use and will not gum the hair or per manently soil the clothing or pill lows,
 We exact no obligations or promises-we simply ask you to give it thorough trial and if not satisfied tell us and we will re- fund the money you paid us for it. Two sizes, prices 50 cents and 5. 100. Remember you can obtain it in Carlisle only at our store,-The Rexall Store. c. $. Ayres Drug Store.
