The big hats of the women were bad
enough. in fact are still bad enough, to
account for if not justify masculine pro-
family. But the vexation of the male
mind and much physical discomfort to
the obviously weaker and lesser sex, is
caused by one of the prevailing modes of
d sarranging and destroying the beauty of
womans hair Some women have always
known how 10 obstruct the view of the
stage or platform of persons sitting be-
mind them without wearing hats. Plumes
and a1grettes serve this purpose admira-
bly,. But lately an equivalent of the tow
ering coiffures of the early Georgian
epoch has appeared. A high and broad
, frame or box is placed on the offender S
head, and over this is drawn much of her
own hair and more of some other person
deliberately puffed and otherwise aggra-
waited, decked with pins and combs and

where the problem is most acute tends
to make possible the presentation of a
reasonable solution. Ever since enamel
patton the ignorant have been imposed
upon and their untutored minds inf1u-
enced by the myth of social equality. a
thing that exists only as to the dead.
There is no such thing as social equality
among the white people How can the
negro attain to it?
No sane person expects entirely to elm
mate friction between diverse races of
people. But every Christian is neces-
sarily anxious to aid In securing peace
and a just basis for settling differences.
A proper and satisfactory solution will
be at hand when general intelligence has
reached the point that majority of the
people know that their dignity and social
standing cannot be impaired by treating
their fellOW-man in an humble station
with. courtesy and consideration. Educa-
tionsup to this point is not sufficiently
dinused throughout the country. Some
very hopeful words were uttered by DR..
James billiard recently at a conference in
Washington over which Mr.. Thomas Nell
son Page presided. But such conferences
lack the power to make much Roadway.
No man of color was present. No extrem-
ist like ex-Gov. Vardaman took part. The
solving of the problem consists in bring
ing those diverse elements together under
harmonious conditions. And to that end
it must at last come. Conferences not
made up of the diverse elements will end
where they begun.

when some question was raised as to
whether Dickens was now read, his au-
thorized London publishers issued
statement that they were selling 200, 600
copies of his books yearly. Only two or
three Of his novels were then subject to
copyright and rival publishers were is
suing the others in all kinds of editions
There has never been copyright on any
of the works of Dickens in this country
and they have been issued in many
styles by many publishers. Forty years
after his death a million copies Of his
books are doubtless sold in year in the
United States, Great Britain and the col
onies. while many a novel comes out
nowadays, receives it's praise, has a sale
of 1900 copies and is out of print three
years after publication.
Dickens has two great qualities, humor
and what is now called heart interest"
and he was a blessing to a weary world
which has troubles enough of its own
without looking for new ones in the
pages of fiction.

Poe himself believed in demons. He was
afraid of going out in the dark for fear
of invisible and malevolent presences.
Like Swinburne's heroes, marked cross
from the womb and perverse," his life
was one long reiteration of failure. He
was thwarted in everything he attempted
Whenever he scared heavenward he fell.
An inexpIicable gloom oppressed his life
like a nightmare. In the Olden days peo-
pie would have said that he was pos
sessed by the devil. And it is more
than coincidence that the archpriest OF
literary diabolism, Charles Baudelaire.
author of 1.-The Flowers of Evil, was his
first disciple and prophet in Europe.

English Electioneering Ways.
the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
In the good old days alleged the elect
or could not only obtain wonderful bar
gains at election time, but he was also
afforded an opportunity of showing his
honesty at a remunerative figure. There
is, for instance, the story Of the candi-
date who won his election by means Of ar
umbrella. Sheer absence of mind caused
him to leave the CAMP behind at every
house at which he called to. canvass, and
OF course, when 1t was returned by the
voter, a sovereign was only suitable re-
ward for honesty.
The worst of election expenses is that
the candidate can never be sure what sort
of pig in poke he is buying. The parlia-
ment may run its full term. or it may
come to an end after few months Ever
If 1t lasts. the game may be decidedly not
worth the candle. Sir Mountstuart Grant
Dun gives q poignant little incident Of the
wearisome struggle over the coercion bill
in 1881 when things were at their dull
est and deadliest Stuart Rendel heard a
man. as he rolled off his seat in the ex-
tremity OF WEAKNESS, say: And to think
that I should have paid f7,00O for this! .

High-Speed Planning.
From Casters Magazine.

In the nineteenth century twenty feet
a minute was regarded as a good STAN
dard rate Of cutting for planning ma
chine. Today forty feet minute may
be considered the standard. II planning
machines cut on. both strokes, doubling
the speed of cut would double the work
done in given time. but il the machine
has an idle return stroke. it is necessary
to double the speed Of the return stroke
as we'll as that OF the cutting stroke. In
order to get a two-to-one improvement.
A three-to-one ratio of quick return was
considered good when the cutting stroke
was at twenty feet. and this gave a re-
turn speed Of sixty feet. To make a
two-to-one improvement one must not
only double the cutting speed. but must
preserve the ratio of three to one, which
doubles also the idle return speed and
brings 1t up to 40 feet per minute. With
a sufficiently powerful drive there is no
difficulty in accomplishing this. and it is
greatly facilitated when electric motors
are employed.

The Dickens Revival. "

From the New York World.
An English actor and an English lee

Britain and America. 1t is like sud-

Compromise of 1857.

The right of the former slaves TO rep
resentation in the Congress and the cleo
toral college does not rest on the four
tenth nor fifteenth amendments, but on
one of the compromises of 1877. 1t vas
then agreed that slaves should be count
ed in the citizenship entitled to repre-
sentation. at the ratio of three votes for
every five slaves. And from 1883 to 1861
the masters exercised the suffrage ac-
corded the slaves under this provision.
In 1865 the thirteenth amendment to the
Constitution was adopted, thus a'bolishing
slavery and thereby denying to the for
mer master the representation he had
through his former slaves. This left the
former slaves entitled to representation,
but divorced from those who in their
name had previously exercised 1t. At
this point Congress proposed, through the
fourteenth amendment, that the former
slaves should themselves exercise the
right of representation. The country rat

Can the moral sense of the American
people be so blunted by sophistry as to
listen to such an infamous proposition?
Such a law would be a distinctive step
backward in the twentieth century civili-

The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-10-20

This is the famous public square case
which has now been in court for sever
al years, and, it is hoped, is nearing
an end
Many people now residents of Hay
ii, and some of them owning property,
do not know of this suit, so we will
briefly tell about it.
When DR.. Granville M. Hayes plat
ted Hayti, the public square was deed
ed and dedicated to Pemiscot county
for court house purposes. 1t was DR..
Hayes intention that the square
should forever remain public property
and the deed SO states, and the busi-
ness lots around the square were sold
at an enhanced value on this account
After the death of DR.. Hayes, some
of his heirs petitioned the county court
return the square to the Hayes estate,
which it did, Judge Brasher dissent
ing.
The square being returned to them,
the Hayes heirs sold it to Caruthers-
willie company.
Next, the citizens of Hayti brought
suit in the circuit court tC. recover the
square to Pemiscot county, and Judge
Riley decided in our favor.
The Charlottesville company APP
pealed to the supreme court.
To show the faith of the people of
Hayti that this square must forever
remain public property, a beautiful
$40, 000. 90 courthouse has been placed
upon the ground.
1t hardly seems possible that the de-
cision OF the supreme court, which is
soon to be handed down, can be ad-
verse to Hayti.
