Because of the war, English manu-
facturers and consumers of wood pulp
have been caused considerable uneasi-
ness. Production is at a standstill in
the countries at war, and in Norway
and Sweden, principal sources of
supply, mills have been greatly
hampered because of lack of coal and
Of chemicals. England has practically

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by loca, applications, as they cannot
reach the disased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous SUR
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (eaused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured : by

buC now come the lawyers 10 con-
vince the company that it doesn't
have to serve 10000 bona fide sub
scribers, but only has to have a sys-
tenn ready to serve the 10000 if the
10000 walk up to the captains Office
and ask for service.
About s pages of the opinion were
devoted to explaining what the word
"also" means in the ordinance, and
the learned lawyers quote from the
poet Milton to prove that service
doesn't mean service, but readiness
and willingness to serve.
The conclusion Lawyer Schuyler
drew after he had given the word
also" the once over and had sat
down on all the dictionaries to alb
sorb information on words, was that
"also" meant that the telephone sys-
TEN could only be forfeited in case
there was "also" a forfeiture of the
transportation system and the tun=
nels constructed therefor; and that
the telephone forfeiture clause only
requires the continued operation of a
telephone system sufficient for the
service Of 10000 subscribers.
That means that when council
passed that ordinance all it intended |
was that the company install a sys-
tenn that would take care of 10000 |
subscribers, and it didn't make any
difference whether the company &C
tually served 10000 subscribers or
none at all.
Ipresume that none of these learn |
ed lawyers was hired to give an opin- |
ion that the city could declare the |
phone system forfeited, but that all |
were hired to give opinions that |
would pave the way for some Judge to |
decide that the ordinance didn't mean
what it said, and that council was
only kidding itself when it attempted |
to require 10000 bona fide subscrib-
ers.

them they find law to fit his case; and
if the defendant hires them, they
merely look up other authorities.
In the matter of looking up authori-
ties, superstititons, precedepts, opin-
ions, etc., a lawyer probably has the
advantage of me, because they have
the books handy, but if law is actual
ly based on common sense, then am
a better lawyer than the average law
yer, because haven't studied law and
got tangled up in its traditions and
approximations.
| And if l were a judge wouldn't
pay any attention to such bunk as
find in these learned opinions, but
would decide that question on what
l thought the average man with aver
age horse sense would think that
clause meant,
Incidentally, none Of the lawyers
gave an opinion on that part of the
franchise ordinance which clearly
provides that the phone system shall
he forfeited to the city if the company
sells out to another company, or en-
tiers into any agreement to sell out.
It looks to me as if the phone trust
were trying to gobble the automatic
phone system, junk the plant and
have an absolute phone monopoly in
Chicago; that council is being ribbed
up to betray the people. by sacrificing
their rights under that ordinance, and
that the trust newspapers are shut
ting their eyes while the phone trust
picks the public pocket.

Mr.. yardaman quotes from Mr.. Lin
coins speech at Charleston, Ill. in
1883. Lincoln, being a wise man, DID
change later on as the records show,
but the fool, Vardaman,~ is ignorant.
He is welded to his idol-Negro in
feriority-and Is therefore inseperable
and Interchangeable. But there are
many white men, who believe in the
survival Of the fittest-who have faith
in the ability of their race to progress,
side by side with the Negro. These
fairminded men do not fear the social
or political equality of the race, or
Negro domination. They intend to
give him square deal as man.

POLITICAL ADvERTIsEMENT

WHERE THE BLUNDER IS.

Most people will condemn Sen
Borah's putting of woman's suffrage
in the same class with Negro suffrage,
and disagree with him in his denuncia-
ton of the 18th amendment as a
'blunder."'
Say what you may, Negro suffrage
has been and is racial question,
whereas woman's suffrage is not.
The "blunder" as to the 18th amend
ment is not as to its enactment but
as to its enforcement Under the
proposition of states rights, the Ne
gro has been disfranchised in . large
part of the nation, in defiance of the
constitution.
When privilege has been driven to
the last ditch, when injustice has
found itself on its last legs, when any
movement for the general good has
seemed probable of accomplishment,
this States rights" obsession has al
ways bobbed up as barrier to pro-
gress. So long as human slavery was
considered a question of states rights,
there was human slavery in these
United States, and, after 90 years of
such foolish obsession, it took bloody
war to determine that we could not
live as a nation with men, their wives
and children chattel property in Ken
tucky and human beings in Ohio.
A republic must be a political entity.
The foundation of a republic is the
consent of the governed, nothing
else. Anything else is monarchy or
anarchy.
Disfranchisement of the Negro,
such as we practically have in several
states, is rebellion. 1t is based on
racial prejudice and is, finally, wholly
unjustifiable. The opposition to
women's suffrage is based on sex
prejudice. Taken as whole, our best
citizens and best patriots are the
women. The question as to whether
women shall be free, politically, is not
a question between Uncle Sam and
Alabama, but between God and man,
just as was that question settled in
blood some 50 years ago.-St. Paul

much subtle and somewhat indefinite
advice is given as to indulGing In
modern dancing. notably the tango.
Some of the letters are practically
paraphrases OF certain portions OF

at a sort of psychological analysis OF

the love OF sweetheart and husband.
