too Powerful G

In the days when calomel was
the only liver remedy, a torpid
liver, or a spell of biliousness was
a serious thing. Calomel is n
powerful mineral substance that
compels the liver, no matter how
weak it Is, to do its work, but does
nothing to strengthen the liver
and large dose--sometimes the
usual dose-may cause saliva
ton. Dodson's Liver-Tone is a
builder that strengthens the liver
while making it do its work. It
is entirely vegetables, pleasant to
take, has no bad after-effect and
is perfectly suited for children as
well as grown people You don t
have to be careful what YOU eat.

some creditable advance in the di-

that he hasn't travelled very
long way in that direction, but
for one of his years and limited
experience he has done well-far
better, indeed, than MANY hoary

The story is an interesting one
and Bentley tells it well-how he
was induced by Mr.. Balls to be-

which he fed and cared for it,

IS THIS so, GIRLS!

A citizen who has seen the
young women Of the city grow
up from babyhood, asked us the
other day why they pass old
men on the streets, whom they
have known all their lives without
a word, a nod, or a look in their
direction. Our inquiring friend
must remember that this is q
strenuous age, and that competi-
ton is sharp IN all lines. Every
body now, the young women in
clnded, realizes the value of time.

any time in being courteous to

WILSON ON THE TARIFF.

Governor Wilson s pos tion on
the tariff is 50 clear and well de-
fined that it merits the closest
study of every earnest citizen.
f, For example he said in his speech
of acceptance.
"The revision should begin with
the schedule which have been
most obviously used to XII com
petition and to raise prices in tie
| United States, arbitrarily and
without regard to the prices per-
tanning elsewhere in the markets
of the world and it should be
|, extended to every ITEM in every
schedule which affords any op-
portunity for monopoly. for spc-
cial advantage to limited groups
of benefciaries, or for subsidized
control of any kind in the mar
kets Or the enterprises of the
country; until special t0vos of
every sort shall have been abso-
lutely withdrawn and every part
Of our laws of taxation shall have
been transformed from system
Of governmental patronage into a
system of just and reasonable
charges which shall fall where
they will create the least burden.
When we shall have done that,
we can fix questions Of revenue
and of business adjustment in a
new spirit and with clear minds.
We shall then be partners with
all the business men of the coun-
try, and a day of freer, more sta
BILE prosperity shall hay
dawned. /"
Nothing can be clearer than
that Governor Wilson has given
the subject of tariff revision close
and intelligent study. He has
avoided the reactionary attitude
of the Taft republicans, and has
put to shame the disingenuous
quibbling of the third-term cand :
date in the discussion of this i'm
portant issue of the campaign.
He has left nothing to inference
but has clearly and honestly stat
ed his position. The American
people who have so long been the
victims of republican, repudia
tions of platform pledges regard
ing the revisions of the tariff, will
find Governor Wilson's frank and
clean out statement refreshing and
inspiring. His speech of accept
ance holds ort the Prospect for
the first time IN manys years that
! the tariff will be actually revised
downward and revised with ref
erence to the good Of all the peo-
pie rather than for the special in
terests which heretofore have been
: able to prevent the republican par
ty complying with it's solemn plat
form pledges.-Beaumont Enter

Washington, Sept. 16.-Post-
master General Hitchcock today
issued instructions for carrying
into effect the new newspaper and
periodical law, first returns un-
der which must be made by Oct.
1st. ..tF - Y,
The law requires that publish
ers shall file on the first days of
April and October Of each year,
both with the postmaster general
and with the local postmaste., un-
der penalty of denial of the use
of THE mails, a sworn statement of
the names and addresses of the
owner, publisher, editor, manag-
ing editor and business manager
of their newspapers and periodi-
Gals.
Religious, fraternal, temperance
and scientific publ cations, are
excepted. For corporation, the
. names of the holders Of more
than | per cent Of the stocks,
bonds or other securities must be
given. and, in the case of daily
ewspapers, a statement of the
average paid circulation for the
preceding six months is required.
All editorial or other reading
matter appearing in a newspaper
or magazine for the publication of
which pay is accepted or promised
must be marked advertisement"
under penalty of fine of not less
than $50 or more than $500.
Although this law was not
favored by the Postoffice Depart
ment," said Postmaster General
Hitchcock today, "it will be ad-
m:nistered faithfully and i'm
partially. In framing the act
Congress doubtless had in mind
the leading daily newspapers, brt
il will affect also nearly $4,000
weeklies. Many of these publica-
tons are having hard struggle
for ex;tence, and will find the
making of returns considerable
burden.
In my judgment-and so ex-
pressed it to Congress-the pro-
vision will be harmful, as it will
require the continuous use Of val
liable space in the publication,
and, at the same time, be resented
as censorship Of the press.
lone of the greatest difficulties,
now encountered in the enforce
ment of the law relating to the
second-class mail privilege is that
the Postoffice Department is COM
pelled by law to make inquiry into
70 many aspects Of THE private
business Of publishers.
"This gives rise to the CON-
plant -ill-founded, in my opinion
that the government interferes
needlessly with privileges Of the
press. Ny Judgment is that it
should be the constant aim, not
only Of the Congress, but Of the
Postoffice Department, to lessen
the necessity for supervision OF
the public press in the enactment
snd administration Of postal
laws."
On July l, 1912, there were 2s,-
IA newspapers and periodicals.
lnjOying second-class mail priv
ileges. There were 2,514 dailies,
1917 weeklies, 5,277 monthlies,
1851 quarterlies and l,7S5 having
other periods of issue. OF these,
N except about 1900 exempted
ablications will be affected by

WE STILL JAIL FOR DEBT.

III IL lOfelSnef, ignorant OF our
laws and customs. We're to ask any
American whether persons were
ever sent to jail for debt in the
United States, nine people out of
ten would tell him that we abol-
ished debtors prisons years ago
and that we no longer imprison
people for debt.
But this would not be true.
Every jail in the United States
is a debtors prison. Most of the
men and women in our jails are
locked up for debt, and would
meyer have been locked up if they
had had money.
This is the cold, literal truth, but
we are not accustomed to look at
this in its true light.
Officials and men who deal in the
law professionally are even more
blind to this than the rest of US;
but there is at least one official in
the country who recognizes the
truth.
In the state Of Massachusetts
last year $1,000 persons went to
Jail because they could not pay
their fines. Gov. Foss declared
every one of these persons were
imprisoned for debt.
We all know that most petty and
some serious criminal offenses carry
alternative penalties. That is to
say, the person convicted is given
his choice of paying his fine or
going to jail for a certain term of
days, weeks or months.
If he has money, he pays his fine
and goes about his business. If he
has no money, he goes to jail. In
other words, he goes to Jail to work
off debt to the state. By no
stretch of imagination could this
be called justice.
1t is only a license given to peo-
pie with money to commit certain
offenses and go practically unpun.
ished.
You can understand why speed
maniacs drive automobiles reck-
lessly. Society does not criticlsu
the speed devil, even if he runs
over child The law does not
punish him. A fine is no punish
ment to man who can afford to
own an automobile. He is willing
to pay small amount of money
for the pleasure Of breaking the
law.
If a gentleman happens to
forget himself" in a frolic with
kindred spirits and is gathered in
by the police, he can square a
rough house" and any minor dam
ages he may have done to person or
property by simply paying fine.
If he had no money, he would, of
course, go to Jail
You can easily see that the fine
system makes men and women 1lu
equal in the eyes of the law.
1t gives privileges to some and
denies them to others. 1t is no
punishment at all, except to the
poor.
If we look at it without blinking
the privilege of paying a fine.
instead OF going to Jail, is nothing
In the world but a survival of one
of the ancient privileges which the
man of wealth and high birth held
over the common herd 1t is
special privilege of the worst kind.
1t is also pure hypocrisy in the law.
People who break the law ought to
be punished alike, if anybody is
punished. To punish one man be-
cause he has no money, and to let
another, who may have committed
the same offense to go free, simply
because he has emo Ugh money to
buy his immunity, is simply the
same thing as selling indulgence
to privileged persons.
AS long as it is tolerated, there
will be no genuine respect for Grim
inal law or criminal justice. .-Ex
