To weak and ailing women. there Is at least ono

must be combined. One Is local. one Is constitu-

work while you sleep. IL soothes sore and inflam-

attention has been giventhus far. We have over 1900 population
and yet have no high schools, We stand at the threshold OF pro-
gress, without having thus far fairly entered within its lines and we
shall heartily join with the editor Of the Protector in every legitimate
effort made to secure the betterment OF our levees, OF our roads ana
of our schools. How the editor of the Protector proposes tod this
by the reduction Of the meagre tax already levied we fail to
see.
Years ago we were in Kansas City, not then half the city that
it is now, and yet one of the most progressive cities in the West:
We asked what the taxation was in Kansas City and were told
a merchant there that it was about six per cent. This seemed
such an enormous tax and it was stated that itwaso on comparative
~ high taxable values, that it seemed impossible: Still Kansas
City has gone ahead, ~perfecting itself in every detail Of city lite
in the directions of streets schools, water and light supplies and
public buildings. These things are not to be secured without
taxation, and taxation so expended rebounds to the common good.
This is common experience everywhere. Let Us have better
roads. Let US have the railroad on the east bank extended down
to the Court House. Perhaps the editor of the Protector forgets
that his journal was started for the purpose Of opposing the build
ing Of that railroad, a degree Of c9pservatism that we should hard
y think the editor now capable Of, and yet a conservatism thor
oughly consistent with the average tax resisters ideas of political
economy,
Again we say that we shall heartily join hands with the edl-
tor of the Protector in any SINCERE efforts for the common good:

Minus:


In the last issue Or the P%laqqemines Protector there was a
communication to the editor signed "MinesI" The writer was so
palpaby minus in his statement of the facts that it occurred to
us that the signature was an eminently proper one. Rereading
the article we noted that the signature wasMinos and not being fam
iiar with that evidently classical individual, turned to the Century
Dictionary and %therefrom learned that Minos in Greek legend was
the king of Crete and law giyer of that island and after his death
a judge in the lower world.' This was a very striking case and
we wondered if it could be possible that a Judge had come up from
He'll itself to criicise that section of our levee system that had
been so we'll guarded under the careful inspection eff Hon. Simon
Leopold. This Judge, fresh from the lower regions, perhaps with
a %sulphurous oder still about him lin lieu of the other odor COM
mon to the spirits now rendered difficult by the high license law
is seemingly unaware that every piece Of levee work going
on in MI. Leopold's district is going on under contract, in which
the specifications Of the work are carefully defined and the work
is carefully inspected in each and every instance before being re-
ceived, and apart from that, is carefully inspected over, the en-
tire line at least once a week where any work is going on. When
Minus Minos returns to the lower regions and resumes his jpdca!
duties there, he should take his tale along with him as it is LIBEL
Gus and may get him into trouble.
