STOCK ORDINANCE
 STILL IN FORCE

Mayor w. H. Duncan requests the Log Cabin Democrat to state that the ordinance prohibiting stock from run ming at large is still in effect and that. on account of frequent complaints of its voalat.on, severe penalties will be assessed against the owners of stock running at large, unless the practice is stopped at once. "The report that the stock law will be repealed by the council is incorrect" said Mayor Duncan. and you can say positively that this ordinance will not be re- pealed by the present council
 Mayor Duncan also said there were numerous complaints of using roller skates and riding bicycles on side- walks, and the ordinance prohibiting this will be vigorously enforced. Tn fact, said the mayor, "all of the or dinances of the city will hereafter be mpartially and strictly enforced. and l hope that all citizens will cooperate with the city officers in doing this"

FAY0RS EXTRA THREE
 MILL SCHOOL TAX
R. L. BRAWNER SHOWS IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN
 PAYING TUITION.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I noticed an article some days ago discussing the financial condition of our school district and the remedy for the shortage of funds. In the first place, the statement was made that something had to be done; that the district cannot be run with the pres ent available funds. Three remedies were mentioned: First, that we do rot have school for a year; second, that an additional three-mill tax be voted at the coming school election third, that we pay tuition for a year.
 In the first place, We can i'll afford to keep our children out of school a year. So let us not consider the first proposition. Of the other two reme- dies, the three-mil tax is decidedly the better q mean cheaper) for the masses. For instance, suppose your property is assessed at 1,000 On an assessment of three mills you would pay $3 additional tax. On the other hand, if you take the tuition plan, and supposing you have three chil- dren in school, which is about an av- craze, you would pay $50 per month for each pupil, or $4.50 per month for the three, which totals up $36 tuition for the year.
 Now, I understood the moneyed men of the town are very willing to pay the tax. Others cannot afford, from a financial standpoint, to vote against the extra assessment of there mills at the coming school election.

SHALL LID BE PUT
 ON SUNDAY PAPERS?
S. E. ANDERSON DISCUSSES QUESTION FROM STAND
 POIN OF NEWS DEALER.

-r'TA.s. t-s.s 1se-,-.r- Hls. Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Because of the efforts by our preachers and church people to create sentiment for the observance of the Sabbath day and the stand recently taken by our city officers, I feel that at this time 1 owe it to my friends at least to explain myself with refer ence to the handling of Sunday pa pers, which is being used by some as an excuse why other things should be thrown open.
 My closest friends know that for a long time this is a matter which has given me considerable concern, as I am and have always been anxious to be relieved of this Sunday work. 1 cannot hold the daily paper business and give up the Sunday, and I feel like 1 cannot afford to give up the daily business with the big expense that is on me. Again, if should sell the agency, which 1 have very se- riously considered, it would not change the condition, except to shift the work on someone else.
 l have either attended to this work personally or employed someone who would not or ulQ not care to attend Sunday school. 1 do not mention this as justification of the Sunday work, and if any of my friends will tell me that they know this matter is really in the way of anyone who wants to do the right, then I will gladly give up the agency.
 l asked the city officers last week if they wouldn't enforce the Sunday law by seeing that no papers were sold by anyone, including the news boys on trains stopping here, but they thought it was not wise to be so radical as this.
 If anyone will assist me to work this matter out as it should be done, 1 will greatly appreciate it.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
BALDNESS IS TOO GENERALLY CONSIDERED A SIGN OF ADVANCED AGE.

A bald-headed person does not have an equal chance with one blessed with a healthy head of hair, because bald ness is too generally accepted as an indication of age. Many large corpo- rations have established an age limit, and refuse to take men over 35 years of age as new employees.
 Probably 65 per cent of bald-head- ed people may regain a good head of healthy hair if they will follow our advice and accept our offer We have remedy that we positively guaran- tee to grow hair on any head, unless the roots of the hair are entirely dead, their follicles closed, and the scalp has become glazed and shiny We want people to try this remedy at our risk. with the distinct under

Rome. January s0.-(SpeeiaD There is more uneasiness in the Vatican than the outside world knows, and it has mani fested itself in two significant ways, to which, l believe, no attention has been called hitherto. .v
 In the first place, quiet preparations are afoot to make the Hoiy See more se- cure by strengthening of it's defenses. In the second place, inquiries are being made as to the future abiding place of the popes if they should have to fly from Rome as they did when the Watt can was moved to Avignon. in the South of France, in 1909 by Clement "
 The rising tide of social democracy and anti-clericalsm in Italy, and the dan ger of revolutionary outbreak here in case the war with Turkey should be so prolonged by the Arabs in the hinterland of Tripol as to become unpopular in Italy, are the reasons for this remarkable state of affairs in the Vatican. Though remote, the danger is near enough to have brought forth a good many plans from the Pope's principal advisers, and several offers from foreign lands, wish full of the honor of housing the successor of Peter, have actually been received

 By force of an existing convention with the Italian government the Pope has been granted the use of the Italian mint for the purpose of striking certain religious medals The Vatican engineers are, there fore, allowed 10 work jointly with the Italian workmen whenever a fresh sup ply Of medals is wanted by the Pope
 Notwithstanding this agreement. the fact that the officials of the Italian goy- ernment were thus empowered at any moment, not only to watch the move ments of the Papal court, but even to listen to the gossip of the cardinals and monsisnori when they stroled in the orange scented gardens, was complained of several times by Leo XIII. but uns,ic- cessfully. He once threatened-tholpb this story was subsequently, denied-to have an enormous wall erected against the Ital- ian possession if the mint was moi re- moved from the Vatican.
 Whatever the truth of this statement there were certainly a good many com plaints directed by the holy prisoner to the Italian government for noise and dis turbances caused by his undesirable neigh . bors. Certainly the Minus old buIldiap proved itself an immense advantage to us journalists, when we were watching iron, some of it's windows either movement which might have proved the long waited death of Leo XIII or sign of thar ''fumata" which would have announced to the world that his successor had been elected by the conclave.
 The Mint has been until now the only outpost which the Italian government has had in the papal territory; it has been the only place in the vatican where the armes of both the kingdoms. the papal and th, Italian, were continually patrolling, as friendly sentinels of adjoining states; all the rest of the vatican is encircled by wall. 30 feet high.
 The Pope has now succeeded in buying from the Italian government this eagerly wished part of foreign territory and the vatican will thus be enlarged by a good square mile of land, as it Is understood that some old houses adjoining the Mint have also been taken up.

 The most interesting of these have come --so I have it on good authority-from the Argentine republic and from Brazil, from both of which the vatican has received offers not only of sanctuary, but of con siderable tracts of territory in which the pontiff would nave full temporal power as the governor of an affiliated free state. Proposals for liberal grants of money ac- companied these offers, especially that from the rich Argentine. and as there is practically no disaffection there, the sus- gestion has been considered more seri- ously than the public or the Italian gov ernment has dreamed of. These South American proposals are, understand, onen indefinitely and if sudden danger should come to the vatican, in these days of sudden dangers, there are facts and figures all ready for reference and plans so complete that the vatican and all its treasures could be shipped for South America before the world had fairly awakened from it's astonishment.
 In case of any such great flight now ever, the present ptdh ID thot tf'N . SDN should first make tour of the prin- cipal Roman Catholic countries of Eu- rope.
 Another plan that has been under |consideration has been removal 10 the great hermitage of Einsielden, Tn Switzerland. where Cardinal Rampolla usually spends his summer holidays This would offer a splendid abode to a Pope in retreat, especially as II is in a neutral state.
