BRANDEls FOR PRESIDENT

0s<AlNOc4S TUX FNESlOkN !
Brandeis OF Boston is one ofthose
who would make good president.
could come into some future Demo-
cratic convention with the dele
gates OF Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire as a starter anyway,
probably Of other New England
states, though he isn't = Yankee,
but was born Of German-Jewish
parents in Kentucky in 1858. He
has not been in public life 4 long
time and in politics scarcely at all.
It is difficult for some people to
understand how a man can be in
public life and not be in politics.
But Brandeis' use of politics has
been merely as a means to the end
of pushing social movements.
Brandeis gives his legal service
hVC " Souoco, ISi oVuo oho COui-
munities. Just now he is helping
the insurgent state government OF
New Hampshire straighten out rail-
road matters. The legislature in
vited him to come and he has re-
fused all pay except his board. He
furnishes his own clothes.
When he fought the Oregon laun-
dry case, which has been such a
precedent from oppressed woman
hood, he took no fee. It was q diff
ficult thing to persuade the court
that a sacred principle Of liberty
was not being violated in a law
that forbade women to be worked
over ten hours.
When he first started his fight
against the merger of the New Ha-
ven and the Boston & Maine rail-
roads he was working without pos
sibility Of pecuniary reward. The
Boston 4 Maine il the thirteenth
largest system in the country and
The New Haven, while not large, 10
very rich. United they would
have control Of nearly all of New
England. Shippers were alarmed
and many citizens who would not
be directly affected believed the
merger would be inimical to popu-
lar liberties. The movement gath
cred around Brandeis.
He had able men around him and
that 10 one Of his strong points
his faculty Of joining other able
and good men with him, his will
lingness to share credit.
The merger was blocked for
time. Seeing they might be de-
feated in Boston, they sought re-
lief In Washington and failed to get
it, and the last Republican admin
istration in Massachusetts let the
merger go through. Brandeis and
his friends had opposed the great
est aggregation Of capital in Amer
lea, and, though beaten, lhe battle
had been = long one. In the legis-
latures Of other states besides Mas
sachusetts there had been move
ments to try to help Brandeis In the
fight, and his influence and popu-
larity were increased despite de-
feat.
Until his late appearance before
the interstate commerce commits
sion In the discussion relative to
raising railroad rates. Bra,deis vas
best known to the nation In gener-
al through the fact that he was
counsel for CLAWS in the BallinRer
investig alton. Brandeis was Of.
ficially counsel for CLAWS but he
felt himself even more counsel for
the nation. and It was his en-
deavor to show that things were
not - they should be. II 10 his

Two Bills Are Passed.

Charges that reform administra-

GRAFTON of the Stamburgh bill pro-
ividing for woman superintendent

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED

'T am more than gratified by the
successful results l obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head My
profession being that of barber, I
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was also in q
position to try many lotions, ETC., for
the scalp. These had little or no eff
feet. / had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. l shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, l
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. l was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
have now got thick growth of haiI

Asks Aid in Gas Controversy.

If bill introduced in the house by
Jones had been in force last year,
Cleveland would have had the legal
right to examine the books of the East
Ohio Gas Co. in the big gas fight.

Columbus, where the city has gas
controversy on its hands. 1t applies
to electric light, gas and water COM
panies and is planned by Mayor
George S. Marshall to give city coun-
ellis the right to examine the books
of these corporations so that informa-
tion may be obtained that can be used
in deciding what is a reasonable rate
to be put in a franchise. The bill
provides that any time within year
of the expiration of franchise the
council may have the right to exam
inc the books. 1t can compel the pro-
duction o. books and papers before
committees. The council is empower
ed to require the company to submit
a statement showing detailed facts
on which to base a rate price; the
cost of all construction work, the
amount expended in permanent i'm
provements, the present value of the
plant, exclusive of franchise or good
will; the present as compared with
the original cost of construction; the
par value and market value of bonds
and stocks; the yearly current ex-
penses, of supplying it's products; the
cost of gas or 'ther product bought

To Prevent WIN Contests.

If the house acts favorably on Sen
ator Dores bill, passed by the senate,
there will be no contested wills In
Ohio The measure provides for proof
of testaments in the lifetime of the
testator. This is to be done by giving
notice to heirs-at-law that the testator
has filed his will in probate court. No
one is to see what is in it, but If any
body thinks that the maker of the
will is under undue influence or isn't
competent to write will, he must
object within time fixed. Dore fig
ures that no one will make a protest
when it's possible he is getting the
bulk of the property. The question is
not to be raised after the death OF
the testator.

Liability Measure Delayed.

AS Attorney General Hogan has de-
