To " ard Off Summer
Com xion lis

To keep the face smooth, white and
beautiful all summer, there's nothing
quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax Oily, freckled or discolored
skin, so common at this season, IS
gently absorbed by the wax and re-
placed by the newer, fresher skin be-
meath. The face exhibits no trace OF
the wax, the latter being applied at
bedtime and washed off mornings.
Creams, powders and rouges, on the
other hand, are apt to appear more
conspicuous than usual these days Of
excessive Precipitation. Just get an
ounce of mercolized wax at any drug
store and use like cold cream. This
will help any skin at once, and in a
week Or so the complexion will look
remarkably youthful and healthy.
Sun. winds and flying dust often
cause squirting and other contortions
which make wrinkles. You can quick
ly get rid of every wrinkle, however
produced, by using harmless face

Loafers and Unemployed.

IT. the prediction OF the secretary of agricul
ture holds good, that within a month there will
be more jobs than men, what shall we say OF
those men who are sure to be found lounging
around their habitual haunts of Incidence? For
II is folly TO say that all now idle will be at
work. We may then get a clearer idea of the
difference between an unemployed man and a
loafer.
Secretary Wilson's view seems to be largely
shared by George NJ Reynolds. the great Chi
cago banker, who says that as soon as the har-
vests begin to come In on a large scale the busi-
ness pulse will quicken, the slack in the rope
win be taken up and the demand for men will
become insistent. Not all, of course, will be
wanted for the harvest fields, but look at the
wheels OF industry waiting the reaper for
their accelerauon The ramificatons are too
nuremous to mention.
No need to argue that ali men out Of work
will willingly work II given the chance. We
have had too many demonstrations to the con-
trary not to know better than that Yet, no one
intends TO reflect the honest seeker after a
job. This much. though, should be made clear
that every time howl OF calamity goes up about
the immense numbers of unemployed such as
went up last winter. a good deal OF the howl
is a false alarm, Many of those men--as the gov
ernor OF New York proved-forming the head
lines in Gotham and elsewhere, were there be-
cause they preferred il to the task OF getting
their bread by the sweat of their brows. So when
the approaching rejuvenstion gets under full
headway, possibly we may have a chance to diff
ferenuate between merely the men out OF work
and the professional loafers.

Proof of the Pudding.

The president has not been in a hurry for
the adjournment OF congress. He has his rea-
sons and some of them are that he desres his
legislative program completed before the fall
elections. Perhaps he is not insensbe, also
70 the fact that his party faces a grave situation
at the polls in November. There II must render
an accounting OF It's stewardship. and the first
thing the people will be insstent on knowing
IS the effect Of the new tariff law on the cost OF
living
What will the answer be? II any demo-
cratic leader in or out OF congress has thus far
SO much attempted TO show that the Wilson
Underwood tariff has afforded any material re-
lief as to high prices It has escaped us Yet
very definite and explicit pledges we're made.
The consumer was assured that under a demo-
cratic tariff he would be freed from oppressive
conditions and excessive prices The consumer
knows whether he has realized on this assur-
anee or not He knows that in many instances
HIS cost OF living, instead Of diminishing, has
increased. The producer on the farm, on the
other hand, knows that he has suffered some
reduction in commodity prices-which he has
had for sale

situation and to obtain Reinforcement at the

Women stun After Lindsey.

DENVER, Colo, June f3-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: Some months ago the
Woman's Protective league called atten-
tion TO the unlawful practice OF the Dem
Yer juvenile court in virtually protect
ing men confessing or convicted of
crimes against girl children.
These statements were supported by
verified transcripts of the official rec
ords Of the juvenile court itself
But so shameful was the state Of af-
fairs disclosed that Denver and the rest
OF the country found II hard TO believe,
especially since Judge Lindsey has long
trained the public to believe in his devo-
tion TO children and that anyone who
criticises the Juvenile court does so from
some selfish or sinister motive.
The disclosures OF the woman's Pro-
tective league however, raised doubts
and set people TO thinking and investi-
gating-something they never did before.
This, together with his recent shock
ingly false statements in the east about
strike conditions in Colorado, have at
last aroused our people to his real char
acter and that OF his Juvenile court.
The Woman's Protective league. there
fore, desires TO call your attention again
to its charges and its efforts to expose
this man begun about a year ago. and
to predict his speedy elimination from
the public life Of Colorado.

Adlai E. Stevenson.

The passing Of Adai K. Stevenson closes a
picturesque career in American politics, a career
that links the old and the new eras When Il is
recalled that his first appeal to the voters was
as candidate for presd dentlal elector in 1854 and
his last as candidate for governor in 1905, and
that between the two he had run twice for vice
president, and been once elected, the unique
place he occupies in our political history is
better understood
At the same time, history will hardly cerdit
him with any high degree Of statesmanship. His
first national prominence came from Jealous
service as the political headsman in the Post
office department under the first Cleveland ad-
ministration. and he tackled to the presi-
dental ticket when Cleveland ran the third time
as a matter Of expediency Personal attachment
to Cleveland did not prevent him from remain
ing with his party when it Organized and his
later nomination for the vice presidency with
Bryan was prompted by the hope that it would
bring back the previously alienated Cleveland
following.
While the impression generally prevails that
politics is the pace that kills, It is gratifying to
observe that "Uncle Adlai" went through all
the storm and stress OF our most strenuous
period to the ripe old age that brought him in
sight of his eghtieth year
