Mr.. Taft on the Recall
Chicago Evening POST

The arguments against the
principle underlying the recall OF
Judges and the "recall of deci-
sions" as presented by President
Taft make up a table something
like this:
1t lays the ak at the foot of the
tree of we'll ordered freedom.
1t subjects the guarantees of
life, liberty and property, with
out remedy, to the fitful impulse
of temporary majority of an
electorate.
1t is complete misunder-
standing of our form of govern
ment. "
1t destroys all probability of
consistency in constitutional in
depreciation.
1t will amount to temporary
suspension of the Constitution to
enable a majority of the electo-
rate to enforce popular but in
valid act.
1t ls a reactionary instead of a
progressive proposal.
1t is not in the interest of all
the people or of the stability of
popular government.
1t will SOW the seeds of con
fusion and TYRANNY.
Finally there is no necessity
for such a crude, fitful, revolu-
tionary and unstable way of re-
versing judicial construction of
the Constitution.

A BALD.HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown Of Beauty. Loses in
Love and Marriage

Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman. Who could love and
marry bald headed woman? What
charms could one array to offset
such disfigurement.
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her crownIng glory
is her hair. The loss Of her hair
mars her beauty, happiness and
success. Yet right here in Earling-
ton, there are thousands of women
who are neglectlng or injuring their
hair to such an extent that it lie
only matter of time when 1t will be
utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtless-
ness or ignorance of certain facts.
They use curling irons overheated,
or to excess, which destroys the
natural oil of the hair, causing 1t to
split, break and come out. They
do not shampoo their hair often
enough, or too often. They use
soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful
to the scalp and hair.
AS result of such treatment,
dandruff is created, the hair loosens
loses color. falls out, and badness
commences, unless proper and
prompt precautions are taken in
time. Then again, microbes and
certain diseases bring about un-
healthy scalp and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her.

and hair IL she will but use the
right remedy. We have that remedy
and we will positively guarantee
that it will either cure dandruff and
badness or it will not cost the user

unless all life In the hair roots has
been extinguished, the follicies

WOMEN IRE EQUAL
Law Governing Suffrage RightS-TwO
Electors Constitute Quorum

L. L. Wright, Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Hundreds OF illegal voters parti-
cipate annually in the school district
meetings as many do not understand
the qualifications of voters. There is
absolutely no sex distinction, a wo-
man having exactly the same privi-
leges as man if she is otherwise
qualified. No person has a right to
vote unless he or she is the parent or
guardian of children whose names
are on the school census or has pro-
perty assessed for school taxes. In
the United states, 81 years OF age and
residents OF the district at least three
months preceding the election. Only
electors having property assessed for
school taxes may vote taxes. If
property so assessed is owned joint
ly by husband and wife, both are
qualified. Purchasers of land on con-
tracts may vote if they pay taxes on
the land and live thereon. \ dog tax
does not qualify and soldier, ex-
empt from paying taxes, cannot vote
at all unless otherwise qualified.
The law excludes all men and wo-
men. who are not parents or guard
ians of children on the census list or
who do not pay school taxes, regard
less OF their other qualifications. OBJ
servance OF this will disenfranchise
hundreds who have previously voted
Only taX-paying school electors whose
names appear on the assessment roll,
may hold office, the only exception
being that both husband and wife,
owning property jointly may hold
office, whether or not the name ap-
pears on the assessment roll.
Any two electors of a district,
whether they are officers or not, cor
stitute a legal quorum. Members of
the school board must be elected by
written ballots, and there is no such
thing as an informal or nominating
ballot. Even with only one nomina-
ton, the written ballots are neces-
sary.

Value Of ElectrIfylns Tobacco.

An interesting experiment has been
made by a German scientist In connec-
ton with the discovery of the value of
electrifying tobacco as a means of
insuring Its flavor and keeping quail
ties. The flavor of tobacco Is said to
be largely due to the peculiar fungus
or bacterial fora with which each
variety is associated, and electricity
kills the fungus, but preserves the
flavor. This German scientist has
taken the peculiar mold, or fungus, of
the best Havana tobacco and trans
ferred 1t to the more coarsely favored
Bavarian tobacco, and ii is claimed
that good judges COULD not distinguish
the Havana from the Bavarian.
Whether the effect is quite so thor
ough may be doubted, but much is be-
ing learned of the mysterious proper
ties of molds.

$4,000 which he wants to put into a
house can now have cottage which
will, in design and plan, express his
individuality And 1t is true that the
house should reflect the taste of it's
owner or occupant
Home builders have come to real
lie that house should possess in
dividuality without being freakish.
The hammer and saw square box of
house, or the frightful creation with
caves extending out barely six inches

are putting forth their best efforts In
the line OF designing houses that will
be artistic and beautiful to look upon.
The architect realizes that first of all
the plan must be arranged to meet
the needs OF the family
The court of last resort in the plan
ming of a house should not be the
architect, should not be the man OF
the house. The final dictum must be
given and is given In most cases by
the wife and mother And provided
what she wants is within the bounds
of architectural limits let her have 1t.

number OF five minute speeches
given by prominent business men Of
the town. The subject of the lesson
was "Truthfulness, and after going
over the lesson in rather a general
way so as to get a broad view point
from which to look at the subject as
a whole, special phases were taken
up by business men, showing how
necessary truthfulness is in daily
life, especially in the professions
which they represented Mr.. Ezra
Smith spoke first, showing the value
of truthfulness to the shopkeeper. He
stated that most travelling men come
to know intimately the condition and
business methods used by the men
with whom they deal, and that in his
experience the men who were never
known to prevaricate were the men
who were most successful altho it
might appear at first as if the truth
would be more harmful than lie
Dr. Gardner spoke next on truth
fulness from a physicians standpoint,
and he pointed out that altho it used
to be thot necessary for a doctor to
lie, yet it was really great mistake
for him to do So He said that it
was very seldom that a patient was
harmed by being told the truth about
his condition and that nothing was
more sad than an uOpxDeCted death
