Ace of Girls.


st. Paul.-Whether the laws of the
state, which now fix eighteen years
as the age at which girls attain their
majority, should be changed so as to
make the age twenty-one years, was
one of the principal subjects under
consideration yesterday at meeting
of the Minnesota Society for the Pro-
motion of the Interests of Children of
Public Concern at the capitol.
At present the law fixes eighteen
as the age at which girls pass from
the period designated by the lawyers
as infancy. But for many purposes a
girl is not considered woman until
she reaches the age of twentyone
years. She cannot exercise her linn
tied franchise until she is twenty-one
and she is counted child by the law
in reckoning the school appropriation
fund of the state until she reaches
that age.

MUST INSPECT THE BOOKS, NOW.

Members of the Paducah general council,
some of whom in an effort, we fear, to so com
plicate the proposition of employing an expert
accountant ON the city's books as to defeat 1t,
have made it almost imperative, now, to inspect
the books. At the time the proposition was
sprung, as we understand it, there was no init
nation that anybody's books were not right,
and it was suggested that, since the books have
not been examined in many years, 1T would be
satisfactory TO all the present officials, including
members of the general council, who pass upon
and accept monthly reports, to have the books
examined and found correct to date.
But when the proposition, which passed the
aldermen reached the board of councilmen, 1T
was urged that an QUITO flown expert should be
employed because a local man might be sub
iect to influence and favoritism and thus IN
duced to cover up any discrepancies. The board
of coupcilmen took this view of it, and amended
the resolution An alderman also insisted ON
that amendment when the resolution was
returned by the councilmen.
These councilmen have set tongues to wag-
ging. and aspersed the characters of some of
the city officials, we know not whom, except
that it could not be in the treasurer's and aud
TORS departments, where the books are fire.

of the officials, by having the books inspected

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Discovery Has Rcvolutionized
the Treatment of Skin Diseases.

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success OF
the marvellous skin remedy known as
poslam, which, it is safe to say, has
cured more cases of eczema and skin
diseases than any remedy ever offered
for these Ills.
The success of pos,am is not at all
surprising when II Is considered that
even very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately

well as acne, herpes. letter, piles, salt

Every druggist keeps both the so

WHEN ROOSEVELT RETURNS.

The great white light that beats about a
throne throws some funny shadows also. Moth
ing in the way of gossip concerning the great
ones that has reached the public ear, is more
Interesting than the dispute as to whether II
coterie is trying TO create difference between
President Taft and former President Roosevelt,
or whether coterie is trying TO discredt Pres-
dent Taft and bring Roosevelt back into power.
Politicians are opportunists, and IL those,
who mistook President Roosevelt thought that
by bringing him back to the chair in 1912 they
could better themselves, they undoubtedly
would set about undoing Mr.. Taft If those,
who oppose the reform policies of President
Roosevelt, thought they saw in the efforts of
the Pro-Rooseveltites an opportunity to create
a breach between the president and the former
president, they would lose no time in doing it.
President Roosevelt is "A tactful statesman
and he foresaw just this contingency. So he
HE'D himself away into the Jungle of darkest
Africa to spend the first year of Taft admin
stration; so that no one could say he was die
tating to Mr.. Taft or being sighted by Taft
President Taft has a lot of commonsense, and
concerning those who think him lukewarm on
the Roosevelt policies, he says 'they out-Roose-
welt Roosevelt"
Here we have the not unusual spectacle of
antagonstic extremes uniting in an effort to
tear Taft and Roosevelt apart, and all because
Taft and Roosevelt are men of different tenn
geraments and training. The fury of the con
troversy will beat about the complalsant figure
of the president like white caps about the rock
Of Gibraltar: but when Teddy comes back some

be remembered that young men who JOIN the
army, are all of one temperament, unless there
is some special cause, which drives them to
enlistment. a spirit of adventure, the uniform,
the romance of military career, all appeal to
the susceptible temperament.
But garrison life is monotonous, and discip-
line is calling to the very temperament that is
attracted by it. Some of the men find military
life Just suited to them; others become resigned,
and others manage to make the best of the stu
alton. But some can not withstand some sud
den, unexpected and appealing temptation to
run away. Once out, they are afraid to go back,
and are branded as deserters from the army. n
better class of men is being secured for the reg
ular army every year. AS the standard OF
honor is raised assertions will be fewer; but
some will run in spite of everything.

NO MAN KNOWETH THE DAY NOR THE
IOTTR

Taken literally at its face value, the clock on
the First Baptist church does not stand well In
this community. Its reputation for truth and
veracity can be impeached upon the highest
testimony. 1t is fickle arrogant, two-faced IN
its dealings with the people of its own neigh
borhood, and worse-a practical joker. Many
a man has hurried brcathess from North Sixth
street to Fifth street and Broadway only to be
told in the most solemn manner by that bold
clock, that he had lost fifteen minutes going
around corner.
To the literal, unimaginative folk, who at
tempt to set their watches and clocks by that
monstrous jester, the situation is aggravating.
But we prefer to regard the clock in its sym
bolical significance. 1t represents time and
temporal affairs; inconstant, ironical, uncer-
tain dissatsfying, confusing, and yet, running
on, it seems, endlessy the remorseless toll of
its great bell marking off periods as they pass
away forever.
And there stands the church, founded upon
the hope of eternity, its spire pointing toward
the heavens, holding time up to derision and
scorn.
