Might Have Been Worse.

A clerk in Washington street hotel says the Boston Traveller, tells this story: My first hotel job was in a Texas city. One morning guest who had been celebrating unwisely the night before swayed up to the desk and asked for some information. His name was Colonel Hawkins. and he was the soul of politeness under all circumstances. And this morning he was looking worried. Frank, he whis- pered, my memory of last night, l re gret to say. suh, is pretty hazy. Con hdentially, now-what did do? Colonel said l. you got drunk and shot a man Anything else?' Gee isn't that about enough?' It's unfor. tunate, yes. suh But was afraid l had insulted somebody"

 One day. d Ladies' Birthday AL manac fell into my hands. I read it and told my husband that | would try Cardui. for l believed in what the book said that this medicine would do.
 I bought q bottle, took the med icine. and began tO get better right away. l could feel how it was doing me good After had taken five bottles. the pain and hurting was all gone: and I felt so well and happy.
 During the time 1 was sick. couldn't do anything. no sweeping. no Eouse-work of any kind. and some times my head would hurt from sun up to sum- down.
 Now all this has changed. and have to thank Cardui for it.

RED CROSS APPEAL.

The following appeal for aid for the famine stricken people of China mas been sent out by the American Red Cross society and is published at the request os that society.
 Three millions of people in Central China are on the verge of starvation. Last summer the worst floods in for ty years destroyed the crops in an area of 5O.O0O Scuare miles. Many have already died of hunger and un- less prompt relief is given. multtudes Of men. women. and children must perish.
 During the last few weeks the po- litical and military news from China has absorbed the attention and inter est of the world to the exclusion of the needs of the hungry millions. No harvest can be expected until May. Until then the famine will be grow ing daily more acute. The people 10 be relieved are chiefly hard-working and honest farmers.
 There is strong famine relief committee in Shanghai composed of both foreigners and Chinese of all faiths. Bishop Graves. of the Epis- copal church. is chairman; Dr. Wu Ting Fang, former minister to the United Stated. vice-chairman: Rev F. C. Lobenstine. of the Presbyterian church. secretary. and MT. 1T. C. Gull land. manager International Baking Corporation. treasurer. This commit tee will employ as many as possible of those able to labor in building dikes and in such other work as will help to prevent the recurrence of flood and famine. This work is in line with the recommendations of Mir. C. D. Jameson, an engineer sent to China by the American Red Cross.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness is Too Generally Considered
a Sign Of Advanced Age.

A baEdIheaded person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication OF age. Many large corpo-
rat,ons have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over IS years
Of age as new employees.
Probably S. per cent Of bald1headed
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 roofs of the hair are entirely dead
their folljcleS closed, and the scalp
has become glazed and shiny. We
want people to try this remedy at
our risk, with the distinct understand
ing that unless it does exactly what
we claim it viii, and gives sabisfac-
ton I'm every respect, We shall make
no charge for the remedy used dur
ing the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back
of our statements no one should scott,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone i'm Great Bend
who lis suffering from any scalp or
hair trouble, dandruff, falling hair or
badness to try OUT Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We want them to use it regu-
Iarly-say until three bottles have
been used-and if it does not eradi-
cate dandruff, cleanse and refresh the
scalp, tighten the hair in its roots
and grow new hair, We will return
every cent paid us for the remedy for
the mere asking. There is no formal
lty expected, and we exact no ObEga-
ton from the user whatever.
We are established right here in
Gnaet Bend and make this offer with
a full understanding that our bust
ness success entirely depends upon
the sort of treatment we accord our
customers, and we would not dare
make the above offer unless We were
positively certain that we could sub
stantiate it in every particular. Re

Throws AWAY $3e,160.

Misers have great resourcefulness
IN selecting hiding places for their
treasures, but they rarely adopt the
methods employed by a traveller on the
railway line between Lescar and Pau,
In France. This individual, who owned
an estate worth about $4S,7OO, sold all
his property and insisted upon being
paid the full purchase price in nego-
liable bearer shares and In coupons
payable to the Bank Of France.
He disposed Of some Of his money,
and then during brief halt Of the
train approaching Pau threw his peck
atbook containing the remainder, sp-
proximately $3s,1sO, into q hedge Dor
dering the line.

hedge clipper, who deposited his ind
at the nearest police station. By the
laws Of France It win become his
property at the end Of twelve months
unless the original owner claims It

TAFT OPENLY OPPOSES PoPU-
LAR RULE.

Poor President Taft is inconsohble.
The spread OF progressive ideas is
causing him much grief and pain with
no comtor< jan sight. State after state
Is adopting the Initiative and Refer
endm- Advocates Of these and other
democratic measures are making
things very uncomfortable for reac-
tionarieS in Congress. California
adopted the Recall, including the re
call Of the Judiciary, ON the heels Of
his protest against such action, and
Arizona, now safely in the Union Is
preparing to adopt the same. To cap
the climax, Ohio, the Presidents own
state, has a constitutional convention
N session dominated by progressives
and one of them has actually introduc
ed a measure providing for the judi
cial recall. It is mo wonder that he
feels indignant and has given vent to
his feelings i'm a talk at New York
on January q.
In this speech he repeats the falla-
cies and half truths contained in his
infamous veto message of the Ar
iona Statehood bill. He proves HIM
self to be a true Bourbon in that he
has learned nothing. He has become
hitter, the natural consequence Of not
ing the disregard of his protests. This
bitterness has led him to oppose not
only the judicial recall but also the
proposition recently endorsed by The
oiore Roosevelt, to authorize the ap-
plication of the Initiatdveand Refer.
endum TO decisions of supreme courts
declaring legislative acts unconstitu-
tionai. He has thus squarely commit
ted himself against the right Of the
people TO make constitutional changes
Of any kind which the court thinks
ought not to be made. Possibly he die
not intend TO be so frank, but nc
other construction can possibly be pu'
on the quotation which follows
Another form proposed is 10 sub
nit the judgment of the highesi
courts with reference to the conStitu
tionali.y of laws 10 a majority of tn;
people to determine whether the de
cisiOn of the court was right, anC
this Within six months from the date
of the rendition Of the decision
say this substitutes for a decision
according TO law and equity and
righteousness that governs swoT
Judges and keeps them independent
between the people and individuals
the majority popular opinion as t
what the law ought to be in such
cases."
In other words, the people may
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-02-09

want certain law and the iegisla-
tune may enact It. Then some one
may take the matter into court and
the Supreme Court finally decide the
law UNCONSTITUTIONAL In such a case
Mr.. Taft holds the people have no
right 70 make this measure oonsttu-
tional Submitting the decision 10 a
popular vote for confirmation would
not necessarily be amy reflection on
The court or imply any doubt Of the
legal sOuDdDess Of its decision. II the
people vote against sustaining the
decision they would but be saying in
effect:
Very well Judge, If the Constitu-
ton forb,ds a law Of that kind then
We hereby change the Constitution
so that 1t no longer forbids it."
But Mr.. Taft IS as bitterly opposed
to such procedure as he is 70 the
recall He clearly holds that the peo-
pie should not be permitted to frame
constitutions to suit themselves, but
should meekly accept whatever kind
Of constitution the judges Of the SUI
pneme Court think they ought to have
Tories have heretofore declared that
if a Judicial decision did not please
the people they ought not to blame
the judge, for he did not make the
law, he only expounded it as was his
duty" The only remedy for such a
case they said, is 70 change the law
Or the constitution as the case may
be. In the days when the lawImakng
power was as firmly controlled by
the same interests which stll control
courts, such advice could be safely
given, the people being practically as
powerbeSs TO change the law as 70
prevent the exercise of improper CON
troll over a court. But things are
changing now. The people are get
ting the power of direct Legislation
so that in a constantly increasing
number Of states it is no longer the
mockery il once was TO suggest thai
If the people don't like the law they
should change il. 1t is no longer safe
for Tories to pretend adherence L
the doctrine of popular sovereignty
So President Taft speaks out plaiI
and says that a constitution mus no
be made 70 mean anything else than
what judges say it means, whether
the people favor such a constitution
or not.
In taking this stand he is unoon
sciously confirming the words o.
progressive Republican Governor job,
son of California, who declaned the II
call of the Judiciary to be question
of paramount importance because 9TH
legislature may pass laws and the pc
pie may even amend the constitution
