Dawn came at last, and with sur
prising suddenness. As the first ray
of light pierced the aperture in the

the monster and harnessed themselves

They were dragging us through the
streets Of Calcutta; but our view ex-

REAL SECRET OF BADNESS
Under Certain Conditions, the Man
Whose Hair Has Gone May as
Well Abandon Hope.

The actual condition of the scalp
and Of the hair has very much less to
do with the health of the latter than
is popularly supposed. The bulbs of
the roots of the hair go down COM
pletely through the skin and into the
fatty layer which lies between it and
the skull, and the thing that to the eX-
pert eye is really significant of the
prospect as to progress or cure In d
particular case OF badness is not the
condition, or color. or cleanliness Of
the scalp, but the thickness or thinness
of this fatty layer which underlies it.
So long as this is present and the
scalp is freely movable over the skull,
there IS hope OF restoring a reasonable
growth of hair: but when this fat has
been absorbed and the shiny scalp
sticks as closely to the skull as the
cover on a baseball, the outlook is
practically hopeless. This. of course.

tions of the scalp from which it suf-

DEADLY FOE OF FEMININISM
Writer'S Bitter Criticism Of Type OF
Women Very Much in the
Minority.

There is one type OF woman. whom
l venture to call old Woman" who
is probably :. bitterer foe to feminin-
ism than any man. and that Is the
super-feminine type, the woman for
whom nothing exists except her sex,
who has no interests except the deck
ing OF her body and the quest OF men.
This woman who once dominated her
own species, still represents the ma
jority OF her sex. 1t is still true that
the majority Of women are concerned
with little save the fashions, novels.
plays and vaudeville turns. Those
women want To have "a good time
and want nothing more; they are
ready 70 prey upon mon by f1atterlng
them; they encourage their own weak
ness, which. they call CHARM, and
generally aim et being pampered
slaves. Iccausc. from their point OF
view, il pays better than being work
ing partners Evidence of this is to
be found in women's shops, in the con-
tinual change in fashions, each OF
which is 4 signal to the male and in
the continual increase in the sums
spent on adornmcnt: il is not uncom-
mon Tor rich woman to spend $500

In the grandstand plays At
torney General Barker is max
ing with railroad suits he IS
merely barking up the tree
where he thinks the 1916 guber-
material nomination of the Dem
ocratic party is lodged. 1t has
not been so many years ago
since the Democratic state Off
cial in old Missouri were owned
body and soul by railroad, bak
ing powder and other corpora
tions and came running at the
whistle of their masters; and
but for a little more noisiness
the breed at present is doubt
less much the same as of yore.
When Herbert S. Hadley was
attorney general we had some
thing real in the way of pursu-
ing the trusts with Missouri law,
through whose activities in that
line the Standard Oil was finally
driven from the state; and after
this happened a Democratic leg
islature passed an act of forgiv-
eness and told the Standard Oil
to come back. The railroads
know there is more bark than
bite in young Mr.. Barker's vo.

The Innocent Purchaser.

Ever since we can remember,
puacks. takers and ScoundrclS
generality nave taken advantage
of that rule of law ty which,
when a note passes out Of the
hands of the original holder for
value, no recovery can be made
because of fraud in connection
with the making of the note.
Thes secure the notes, then sell
them to the lnn0cont purchaser
or the man who can not be prov
ed to have knowledge of the
fraud.
a few years ago, So-called san
itariumS and quack doctors
would agree TO cure patients of
organic diseases such as con
sumption, catarrh, etc. taking
notes and selling them to the
bank at the first opportunity at
a discount. SO with all takers
and quacks-
Times are changing: the world
is getting better. The supreme
court of Minnesota recently de
cided in favor of farmer who
had given a note to a doctor who
agreed to cure his wife of con
sumption. The note was sold to
the bank at 30 per cent discount.
The farmer was a plucky fellow,
however, and carried If to court.
The court decided that a note
tainted with fraud is not collect
ible even in the hands of a So
called innocent purchaser. y
The effect of the decision is that
when customer is doing a frau
dulent business, the bank has no
right to blind itself to the nature
the occu tion. A bank
is not merely an institu-
ton to make profit. It is Or
ganized to furnish credit. In

Where the Fault Lies.

Inequalities in the matter of
assessed valuations for taxation
in this county has had much to
do with the fact that the county
treasury is not receiving revenue
enough to meet the ordinary
public expenditures. Farm lands
which have doubled their selling
value in the past fifteen or TWEEN
ty years. and are held by their
owners at $50 and So per acre.
are assessed no higher than eight
or ten dollars per acre. or about
tue same as when their value
was only half what it is now.
while other farm lands whose
market value is not so great are
assessed much higher proper
tionately. lake property in the
city of Potosi, fo.r instance, the as
sessed valuation, as in the case
Of the premises in which the
Journatis published, is assessed
at about half of it's market value.
We are not complaining of this,
but merely showing the Unequal
tiles of valuation for revenue.
Some rough lands in the county
classed as mineral lands"
which are entirely unproductive
are assessed as high as our most
fertile farm lands. What we
need is a better basis of valua-
ton. If the board of equaliza-
tion were to place a valuation for
taxation upon all property in the
county at one third of it's mark
ct value it would undoubtedly |
bring in more than sufficient rev.
enue. The present method is
largely a hold up of one class of
taxpayers for the benefit of an
other class. The present county |
court did not originate the sys-
TEN, but merely carries it on as
it has been handed down for a
generation. The time has now
come when there must be re-
form to enable the county to
meet it's obligations.

That the law favOrS one class
against another class is too evi
dent to be successfully refuted
A case in point is this: A Mich
egan grand jury, in the copper
mining district, has just iudict
ed Chas II. Moyer, a labor lead
er, for conspiracy" to prevent
the mine owners from operating
their mines: but, while the mine
owners are acting in concert
against the the miners, who are
seeking to improve their condi
ton by the only means they have
available-thes strike indict-
ment or legal weapon of any
kind can be brought to bear
against the owners. Thirty
seven miners are included with
Meyer in the conspiracy charge.
Also, Meyer was recently as
saulted, wounded and deported
from the same town where this
grand jury sat, plainly at the in
stance of the mine owners, Vet
no one has been indicted for this
offenSe against the law of the
state and the liberty and rights
of a citizen. The incubation Of
more than that-the
war of class, labor against cap
ital--is fOstered and nOuriShed
by Just these conditions. Every
act of labor may be brought un-
der the scrutiny of the courts.
at the behest of capital; but to
labor the same weapon is not
available There is beginning TO
appear in the more independent
press protest against this state
of affairs, for they seethat under
such conditions we are driving
forward to the time that will
bring forth either the overt hroW
of capitalism or tho complete
enSlavement of the workers.
