Hair Health
If You Have Scalp or Hair
Trouble, Take Advantage
of this Offer

We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic
and continue to sell it as we do, if
we were not certain that it would
do all we claim it will. Should our
enthusiasm carry us away, and
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic not give
entire satisfaction to the users,
they would lose faith in us and our
statements, and in consequence our
business prestige would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure you
that if your hair is beginning to
unnaturally fall out or if you have
any scalp trouble, Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic will promptly eradicate
dandruff, stimulate hair growth and
prevent premature badness, you
may rest assured that we know
what we are talking about.
Out of one hundred test cases
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic gave entire
satisfaction in ninety-three cases.
1t has been proved that it will grow
hair even on bald heads, when, of
course, the badness had not ex-
listed for SO long a time that the
foiicles, which are the roots of the
hair, had not become absolutely
lifeless.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is vastly
different from other similar prep
arations. We believe that it will
do more than any other human
agency toward restoring hair growth
and hair health. 1t is not greasy
and will not gum the scalp or hair
or cause permanent stain. 1t is as
pleasant to use as pure cold water.
Our faith in Rexall "93" Hair Ton
ic is so strong that we ask you to
try it on our positive guarantee that
your money will be cheerfully re-
funded without question or quibble
if it does not do as we claim. Ger
tainly we can offer no stronger
argument. 1t comes in two sizes,
prices so cents and S1.00. Re-
member you can obtain it only at
The Rexall Store.

Anti-SAloon League, however meddlesome
and militant, win never be strong enough
to enforce them. On the contrary, its
work will continue to stir up strife and
bitterness and bring about anarchistic
conditions wherever the movement is en-
couraged.'
Such an unwise espousal OF the cause
of lawlessness Is calculated to foster and
hasten the movement toward the prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic which has been
one Of the most remarkable manifesto
lions Of public reaction ever experienced
I'm this country. The doctrine that the
people upon whom laws to their disliking
are forced are justified In ignoring or re-
sisting them is surely not likely to ap-
peal strongly to the average citizen or to
increase respect for cause in behalf of
which it is advanced. 1t is, in truth. no
less than anarchistic AS we'll might
every free trade democrat refuse to pay
tariff charges imposed by protection
Congress. AS well might householder
the members of whose family are stricken
with smallpox insist upon escorting them
through the crowded streets because he
had. not subscribed to the quarantine
regulations. AS well might the burglar
whose activities have been checked by
the police denounce government as
tyranny and an invasion of personal lib
critics. If the people of Newark. Ohio.
have been forced to accept a prohibition
law in consequence of state enactment
giving the county voters a right to pass
upon urban conditions, the part OF law
abiding. honest citizenship lies in the ac-
ceptance of immediate conditions and
later effort to secure reconsideration or
change of the basis of electoral decision
The rights of local self-government'
are not subject to exact definition or
precise boundary drawing. Suppose the
city of Newark were given the privilege
of determining for itself apart from the
county vote the question of license or no
license and the decision was cast In favor
of prohibition, while certain wards were
overwhelmingly in opposition. Accord
ing to the doctrine of the Model License
League, which is the doctrine Of individ-
ualism In it's most dangerous form, the
people of those wet wards would be
justified in ignoring the local enactment
and resisting all efforts on the part of
allen officers to enforce it. The law
of the state makes the county the unit
of decision, and as long as that law re-
mains unchanged 1t is incumbent upon
every dweller in the county, whether In
personal agreement with the statute or
not. to do his utmost to give it validity
and to support the efforts Of officials
charged with its enforcement.
The issue raised by the circular letter Of.
the Model License League transcends
the question of prohibition. 1t is the far
more vital issue of respect for the law
as it stands. Reduced to a narrow ap-
plication, it is dangerous proposition
for the very interest in whose behalf it
is advanced. for If the liquor trade is to
be licensed by law its stability and tenure
depend upon the degree in which respect
for the law governs the individual citizen.

Law and License.

For several years an organization STYLED
the National Model License League"
has been in existence, seeking to offset
the activities of the Anti-Saloon League
Its purpose has ostensibly been TO secure
the adoption in all the states of a So
called model license designed to minimize
the evils OF the liquor traffic and at the
same time 10 secure its legalization as a
compromise with absolute prohibition. In
this propaganda voluminous literature
has been sent forth from the headouar-
tiers OF the league at Louisville, the latest
contribution being an extraordinary letter
signed by the president of the league
relative 10 the recent lynching at New
ark, Ohio. asserting that the activity OF
the Anti-Saloon League was directly re-
sponsible for the tragedy. The president
Of the league says:
Prohibition was forced on the city of
Newark by the votes of the people i'm the
county outside of the city, acting at the
behest of the Anti-Saloon League The
city did not want prohibition and gave a
large majority against IL. The result
was that the people of Newark did not
trouble themselves to see to the enforce
ment of a law objectiona BILE to them
selves Oficers of the law are not in
the habit of enforcing unpopular laws.
and IL is quite apparent that the Newark
officers did not violate the general rule.
Thus lawlessness was the direct result of
the forcing of prohibition on city that
did not want II, and the forcing was done
under the county option Law, which was
passed by a legislature under the lash
OF the Anti-Saloon League. - The
very evident need is for the adoption of
laws that will not infringe upon the
rights OF local seIf-government; laws that
will have the hearty support of public
sentiment and will not require outside aid
for enforcement. Unjust and unpopular
laws are creative Of lawuessusss, and the

The State Department is confronted

an effective blockade of the port which
represents Estrada's chief claim Ia
consideration as a Nicaraguan govern
ment. Norway has, possibly at the
suggestion OF the Berlin government,
formally recognized the blockade, a
fact which is rendered serious to the

Handbooks.

When the local police became active a
few years ago in the suppression Of the
handbook evil and numerous arrests were
made with several convictions In the
Police Court, there was no confident be-
lief that this activity would suffice to
break up the practice permanently. 1t
was fully expected that unless extraor-
binary vigilance was exercised the gam
5lers would eventually renew their trade
and lure bettors into their tolls. The mere
fact that there was risk in the game
would serve as stimulus to certain
class, intent upon squeezing around the
corner of the law for the sake of a pos
sible winning of money not earned.
Saturday the police. after some weeks
of careful preparation. conducted a series
of raids which resulted in the arrest OF
eight handbook makers. sufficient num-
Der TO indicate clearly that the practice
has. as expected. been revived despite the
plain prohibition of the statute. Doubtless
these men felt more and more secure
after their first careful ventures into the
old field taking courage from the failure
of the police 10 move upon them perhaps
thinking that as in the old days there was
knowledge at the station houses, but no
disposition to act.
1t is gratifying to find that the police
have moved in this matter with such
vigor and such success without waiting
for some disclosure of lawlessness to
cause the public to demand activity. The
crusade of a few years ago, it will be
remembered. was inaugurated in con-
sequence of the exposure of the fact
that an officer of the police depart
ment had defaulted in trust funds in con-
sequence of free patronage of the hand
books An outraged public instantly de-
manded a thorough housekeeping, and to
the credit of the police organization it is
to be once more recorded that the work
was we'll and thoroughly done. Satur-
days raids prove that the lessons learn
ed IN the course of the previous efforts
to. enforce the law have been we'll ap-
piled.
Handbook gambling is a particularly
vicious form of this evil 1t involves no
complicated mechanism, takes but little
time, Is thrust in the way of the bettor
and calls for comparatively small out
lay. Thus 1t involves those who can i'll
AFFORD to lose. After the cleanup of
few years ago business men throughout
the District reported a striking improve
ment in the matter of the collection Of
their debts. Corner grocerymen par
ticularly found that they were able to
collect their bills more readily. The-truth
was that domestic funds were being turn
ed back into legitimate channels, whereas
formerly they had flowed in great meas
ure into the hands of the handbook men
and their principals higher up For in
this game, as in practically all other pro-
fessional gambling systems, the Individual
oettor loses more than he wins. Apart
from the absolute evil of the effort to
get something for nothing, to win the
money OF others upon a shrewd guess or
lucky chance, the economic penalty
paid by any community that tolerates this
or any other form of gambling is severe.

Mr.. La Toilette is an insurgent all
right. and aggressive on that line. Some
persons have figured him as headed
straight for either democracy or socialism,
and likely to arrive soon.
But the Judgment was hasty. It stands
condemned by the latest announcement
from the senator's headquarters at home.
He is still republican. and of dispo-
sition to bow to the party's will
The senator's term expires In March
next, and he is candidate for re-eIec-
ton. A primary will be held early in
September. If he is defeated then, he
will not carry his aspirations farther.
If he wins: if the voters indorse him at
this primary. he will expect the legisla-
ture IL republican to obey the instructions
thus given.
This is fair and square. Mr. La Toilette
is running as a republican. The voters
know his record. as to both national and
local issues He has been bold and above
board in making it, at home and here
You can put your finger on him. He in
sists that he has all along been repub-
lican: that never for day has he been
off the reservation. If, therefore, he car
ries the poll in September he will be en-
titled to another senatorial commission
as a republican.
If he loses he says he will not press his
case longer And this should. and prob
ably does, mean that he will support with
his influence the man who wins.
There are many persons. republicans
and democrats, who believe that If Mr.
La Toilette is not returned to the SEN
ate he will be found in the democratic
camp in 1919 If Mr.. Bryan maintains his
hold on that party. They consider him
in close agreement with Mr.. Bryan on
all the issues growing out Of capital in
politics-trusts, railroads and all that
But what II Mr.. Bryan is displaced as
the democratic leader? What If Gov
Harmon--now very much fancied by Wall
street-sl1ould be the democratic nominee
for President? Or some other man popu-
lar in capitalistic circles Is chosen?
Would the democratic party in those cir
cumstancee he a comfortable refuge for
Mr.. La Toilette? His complaint against
his own party is that capital is too influ-
entail in its affairs. What. then, II capital
should GUST Mr.. Bryan and take charge
Of the democracy?
This. of course. is dipping into the fu-
ture. The problem Of most interest is
Of today. What are the republicans
of Wisconsin going to do with Mr.. La
Toilette in September? What do they
think Of his record on the tariff question.
and on the questions dealt with at the
regular session OF Congress recently
closed?
