MILEsToNEs OF VICTORY
Election Results Foreshadow Downfall
Of Standpatters

How crestfallen the standpatters
must feel under the startling series Of
defeats they have sustained since the
new tariff was passed! They have
had nothing but kicks this year SO far.
The first chastisement was admins
tered by the Sixth Missouri, district,
which on Feb. 1 showed the temper
Of the constituency by re-electing
Democrat with an enormous majority.
Several weeks afterward came the
Fourteenth Massachusetts district cleo
ton, which converted a Republican
plurality of 1900 into a Democratic
plurality Of nearly 5000. A month
afterward we had the Rochester cleo
ton, which wiped out a Republican
plurality of 10000 and gave the Dem
ocrats a plurality of 5000. Vermont
and Maine have since spoken, and
their verdict has sent a shudder
through the broken and lettering
ranks Of the once proud and defiant
party Of log rollers and privilege sell
ers.
Again, there is the splendid success
of Senator La Toilette in the Wiscon-
sin primaries and the success Of the
insurgents everywhere. Who can
doubt what it all means? 1t means
the return to power at an early date
of a majority Of representatives pledg-
ed to undo the dishonest work which
the stand pat element perpetrated last
session. The responsible leaders know
this and feel it keenly. They know,
despite the feeble sophistry of their
apologists in the press, that this is no
local revolt 1t is the uprising Of an
awakened people against their dis
credited rulers.

MAKE THIS TEST
How to Tell if Your Hair is
Diseased.

Even if you have a luxuriant head of
hair you may want to know whether it
is in healthy condition or not. SO per
cent of the people need hair tonic.
Pull hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end of the root is white and
shrunken, it proves that the hair is
diseased, and requires prompt treat
ment if it's loss would be avoided. If
the bulb is pink and full, the hair is
healthy.
We want every one whose hair re-
quires treatment to try Rexall 1913
Hair Tonic. We promise that it shall
not cost anything if it does not give
satisfactory results. 1t is designed to
overcome dandruff, relieve scalp irrita-
ton, to stimulate the hair roots, tighten
the hair already in the head, grow hair
and cure badness.
1t is because of what Rexall ''93''
Hair Tonic has done and our sincere
faith in it's goodness that we want you
to try it at our risk. Two sizes, soc.

an adequate campaign fund. Of
course, it would be impossible to collect
such sum in that way, but there
should be, and there are, a great many
Democrats who would be willing and
able to send the state organization a
postoffice order or check for $1.00 or
more, as their means will permit.
There should be a large number of
Democrats who could send $1,000 and
still more who could send $4,000 to
$4,000 The Democratic Party has no
sources Of revenue except such as we
are now appealing to. We are waging
poor mans campaign, and must ex-
pect our financial support from the
frank and file
We have splendid platform, with
candidates whom we can present to the
suffrage of this state with much pride
The outlook is more encouraging for
Democratic success this year than it
has been since 1890. Certainly this is
true in the country at large, and it is
true of the situation in this state. We
ask for your support. We ask that you
send the State Central Committee as
much as you can afford. Every dollar
will be deposited to the credit of the
State Democratic Trust Fund, and
every dollar will be carefully expended
and accounted for. You can help us
materially and we rely upon your
loyalty to do so.
Now if upon reading this open letter
you feel inclined and are able to help
us, please do so, and do so Immediately
Write your check or get your postoffice
money order NOW, put it in an enve-
lope NOW, and send it to us RIGHT
NOW. Yours very truly,

DISTRICT
CONVENTION
OF the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows.
AT MONTFORT, OCT. 20
Regular misunderstanding of
Observation-Disclosures.

Regular ss.-COnferring of
Entertainment.
On Thursday, Oct. 20, District No. 80
held its third meeting, at Montfort.
The district comprise the lodges located
at Mineral Point, Barneveld, Linden,
Montfort, Miffiin, Dodgeville, Darling
ton, Woodford, Blanchardville and
Livingston. All but four were well
represented.
The President, G.. G. Hubenthal,
called the meeting to order at o'clock,
and the regular business of the conven-
ton was transacted, which proved
very interesting as we'll as instructive.
At six p. m. supper was announced
by the Sister Rebekahs and such a
feast of good things as they had pre-
pared one rarely ever has the good
fortune to partake of. The splendid
hospitality shown by the Sisters and
Brothers of Montfort is evidence that
they are imbued with the true spirit of
fraternity and good will.
During the>intermission for supper a
splendid four piece orchestra enlivened
the occasion with delightful strains of
music.
The next order of business was the
confering of the first degree by the
staff of Iowa Lodge, and this was so
well done that it brought forth words
of praise from all in attendance.
The Grand Lodge was represented by
the Grand Warden, Glen. w. Crumb,
of Milton and David Schriener of
Lancaster, Grand Guardian.
The next meeting will be held at
Barneveld in February. Had not the
inclement weather set in early in the
evening many would have been with
us from Lancaster and Plat teville.
Near the midnight hour the meeting
broke up and most of the visitors de-
parted for their several homes loud in
their praise for the kind reception
rendered them by the Sisters and
Brothers of Montfort.

Control of Water Powers
Discussed by Van HiSe.

Control of water powers by the state
and the United States but private de-
yelopment, through a system of leasing,
is the position taken by President
Charles r. Van Hise of the University
of Wisconsin, in his new volume on
THE Conservation of Natural Resour-
ees in the United States
Since the entire people should receive
the advantage of natural resource,
President Van Hise holds the general
principle is sound that tax should be
imposed when franchise is granted to
develop water power. But since the
principles of conservation require the
rapid development of the water powers,
the terms under which franchises are
granted must be so fair that capitalists
will be encouraged to invest money in
their development.
While there may not be danger of
monopoly for the water powers of the
United States as a whole, President
Van Hise shows that there is now
monopoly in individual districts in var
ious localities of this country.
This local monopoly is due to the fact
that power cannot now be economically
transmitted more than two hundred
miles: hence if given company con-
trolls all the good water power within a
certain radius, power from other waters
cannot compete because of the loss IN

LETTERS.

There's a dear, pathetic ballad that was
popular of yore
They played it until twelve O'Clock at
night.
The tenors and sopranos and the bari
tones would roar
Its melody, so soulful, yet polite.
1t was just a simple ditty of a style that
was the rage
Until the ragtime MARBLE blocked it's
game.
All, well do 1 recall the words upon the
title page
1.-THE Letter That He Longed For Never
Gamer
How often has my sympathy gone forth
unto that lay
Until l thought about the discomfort
OF many a careless person who is mourn
ing to this day
Ger the letter that he wished he hadn't
sent.
That missive undelivered, though a mat
ter for regret
Unto the one of whom the poet wrote,
II 1t had been received, perchance, would
make it's writer fret
When lawyers came selected bits to
quote.
IT'S safer In the office where dead letters
have to go
If 1t was something penned with heart
af1ame.
And now to some one it may be a great
relief to know
That the letter which was longed for
never came.
The epithets endearing and the choice but
ardent rhyme,
Though most delightful when sincerely
meant
May undergo strange transformations in
the course Of time
And be letters that you wish you hadn't
sent.

The State Central Committee takes
this means of addressing the Democ-
racy of this state. The facts that we
wish to present to you are briefly these
The state organization has been serious
handicapped in this campaign by the
so-called Twenty Per Cent Law. AS
never before, it required an expendi
ture of approximately $4,000 by the
State Central Committee to place its
state ticket in nomination. It was the
first bridge that had to be crossed, and
it was of vital Importance that the
state ticket should get the requisite
twenty per cent vote. It necessitated
the expenditure of that amount of
money by the State Central Committee
to insure the nomination of a state
ticket.
By reason of these unusual expendi
lures, our financial resources are low
In spite of contributions from county
OIS d1llZdUlOLS anu UuOS0 received from
many men of moderate means, we are
in need of funds to run our campaign.
There are certain necessary expenses
connected with party organization and
campaign. The printing bills, the
clerical hire, and other expenses Incl
dental to the campaign, make it abso-
lutely necessary to have a moderate
amount of money to work with. A
great many prominent Democrats have
volunteered to give their services as
speakers in this campaign and to pay
all their own expenses. There are
evidences of loyalty and enthusiasm,
and we have received individual con
tributions from loyal Democrats rang
ing from S. to 800.
There are 10000 Democrats in this
state. If every Democrat would con
tribute but five cents, we would have

defense introduced a new sensation
in the trial of Hattie Leblanc for
the murder of Clarence Glover to-
day.
The junior counsel for the defense
declared that he would show that
someone besides the prisoner had
the motive and ability to commit
the crime Then Melvin Johnson, Sc
nior counsel for the defense, called
as the first witness for the defense,
District Attorney Higgins, leader of
the prosecution. The court room
gasped in astonishment.
Johnson declared that he would
show great bias and that the prose,
cution had done everything possible
to block the defense in preparing
its case.

AN APPEAL FOR Ex-coNVIcTS.
Pinkerton Would Have Law Like
Englands.

The public and the police of
most cities should be educated to
understand and respect the fact that
the man who has served his term
in the penitentiary has paid the
penalty required and that he is as
much entitled to the protection
of society as any other man"
This was one Of the statements
made recently in an interview by
William \. Pinkerton, head of the
detective agency which bears his
name.
His experience with criminals has
made Mr.. Pinkerton a very positive
optimist with respect to ex-con.
victs.
There Is too much exposing OF
men who have served their terms
for crime" he continued. "The very
common fate of the man who leaves
the prison behind him is to be ex-
posed by the police in the first
city where he happens to be recog
ni2ed. He goes out to face the world
with a cheap suit of clothes, made in
prison, a prison made pair of shoes
and with the smell and pallor of
the penitentiary on him.
Many an eX-convict who comes
NJ ,ttith L..
on the square is recognized by some
detective, is arrested on suspicion,
and the newspapers chronicle the
fact that an important capture has
been made, not omitting to dwell
upon the mans history.
Although l am in the business of
catching criminals, of pursuing
them relentlessly, | have always
found that it paid from a business
standpoint, as well as being human.
itarian and right, to give the ex.
convict chance to forget that he
ever committed a crime.
II would like TO see law in
force in the forty-six states which
would bring about the excellent re-
suits achieved in England. There
the man who has served his term
is given a ticket of leave. It is
thereafter a crime for any person
to make public the fact that he is
an ex-convict, and any officer who
does this is subject to dismissal. -

FAULTY INDICTMENTS.
Results in 200 Liquor Gases Being
Thrown Out.

Nowata, Okla, Dec. with the
quashing of an Indictment against L.
a. Deer here Wednesday by Judge
Bert Van Leuven, in the district
court, it is believed that about 200
similar cases, arising from indict-
ments returned byl a recent grand
jury, will fall flat.
The grand jury was conducted by
Fred S. Caldwell, state enforcement
attorney, and the indictment was
quashed on the ground of flaws in
the Indictment and in the manner
in which the cases were transferred
from the court to another. Attor-
neys for the defense claimed, also,
that indictments had been secured
on evidence secured from Nowata
county citizens who were told they
might be indicted and threatened
with indictment unless they con
fessed.
The grand jury was great drain
on the resources of the county, the
cost probably running up TO some
thing like $4,000.

THE CALHOUN LANDS.
Descendants Unable to Secure Pos
session of Historic Ground.

Washington, D. c., Dec. DE
scendants of the Calhouns, former
owners of the Calhoun lands in
Greenwood county, South Carolina,
today lost the chance of coming in
to possession of the old plantation
when the supreme court of the Unit
ed States declared it was without
jurisdiction to review a decision of
the South Carolina courts, adverse
to them.
When Downs Calhoun died in
1850 he left a will which provided
that the land should go to his two
sons, Willis Boyd and William
Downs Calhoun, and after their
death to their legitimate children.
After the sons died their heirs
brought action to get possession OF
the lands but the lower court held
that under the then existing laws
of South Carolina, the lands had
been sold by equity court just af-
ter the death of Downs Calhoun
in 1850 to satisfy his debts and
that the land had not passed under
the will
