THE PUBLIC FORUM
CoNFIScATIoN OR FORFEIT
URE.-The bankers, stock brokers
and other gamblers are highly indig-
nant at the city's action in the au-
tomato telephone matter They
fail to see the difference between a
forfeiture and confiscation of private
property. 1t is just possible that per-
haps some of the judges of the SUI
preme court are of the banks frame
of mind.
We have some doubts of Judge
Carter. Remembering his attitude as
arbitor between the street car men
and the street car companies, he may
be inclined to think the same as the
bankers and stock brokers in case he
should have an opportunity to pass
on the matter. This being the case,
the peoples policy, safety first"
would seem to be pretty good one
to follow.
The only opponent of Judge Car
ter for the supreme court is Frank L.
Wood, Socialist candidate, an old
time practitioner Of Cook county, for
several years asst judge of the pro-
bate court under Judge Cutting. His
ideals and thoughts are not those of
bankers and stock brokers. He does
not think in dollars and cents alone.
1t might be well to have man like
Frank L. Wood sitting on the SUI
preme bench of Illinois when matters
like the automatic telephone deal
and other cases of a public nature are
to be passed on by that body.-John

CONDUCTORS AND PoRTERs.-

CONDUCTORS AND PoRTERS.-
Since the hearing of the Pullman Co,
by the commission on industrial re-
lations there have been many articles
in print in publications throughout
the country. Many of them sought
to be funny, and we're, as they had
ample grounds to be, but | am glad
to say that there were more OF them
that took serious turn in the treat
ment of the matter. They were sur
prised that so little had become public
before as to the conditions under
which the men of one of the richest
corporations in the country were
working.
The porter comes in for most of the
comments and his deplorable condi-
ton has been aired all over the coun-
try, and justly so. He has worked
for the pittance of $27.50 per month.
and begged for the rest he got to live
on. He has had to pay all linen short
ages, etc. These things, when brought
before the officials of the company,
we're met with the statement that
'they accepted conditions as they
found them"
When you have secured accommo-
dations in a Pullman sleeper and
have tucked yourself away in one of
Uncle Georges shelves you have
paid enough for your accommoda-
tons without having to help pay the
salaries of any of the car service

THE ALLIES VIEW.

~ anvil W. DIyCC.
Our pro-German friends are all
agreed II England is justified in her
attempt to blockade and starve to
death 100000 non -combatants of
Germany, then Germany has a per-
feet right to put to death such &C.
casional English non -com batants as
her submarines may send to the bot
tom.
In word. it is: Sauce for the
goose, sauce for the gander," and:
"You starve US, we drown you"
We do not feel it necessary to go
SO far in this direction as to dis
guise regret at the prevalence Of the
feeling that a British starvation
policy justifies the German annihila-
tion of non -combatants on the high
seas.
There is no question that exclus-
ion Of supplies from Germany by
England has the excuse of military
necessity.
Germany cannot fight without
supplies. II her outside sources are
closed up, her stores will be replen-
ished only from within and will
stop fighting il they can be made to
stop eating.

energy and his talent without hamp-
ering restrictions, the better. oh
der such a system the local anairs
sbould be left absolutely to Local
management; those which nave
been confided to the State govern
ments should be left there anu
those which were lodged in the fed-
eral government should be fully eA-
ercised by it. Each in its sphere
should be strong, self-sufficient' ana
proud and able to bear its own Dur
dens and solve it's own problems II
one of such entities is permitted 10
it saps the strength of the latter
produces confusion, and tends u
weaken the whole structure. Our
nation is like one great human pod!
composed of various parts, each OF
which not only performs its own
function but likewise contributes 10
the strength and efficiency OF the
whole. We are thus citizens with
local powers and responsibilities
State powers and responsibilities
and we can an dshould measure up
to our full stature in each respect
II often wonder whether we SUI
ficiently realize the tremendous I'M
portance of this great experiment
now being tried upon this continent
one that has greater potentlallt!
for the-happiness and welfare OF
mankind than any other known TO
history. We are in very truth trus-
tees for the whole human family, IN
a very peculiar and full sense OF
that word. If, by greed, neglect or
perverseness we permit this great
experiment to fail, it will be many
long ages before those who come
after us will be able to embody
like spirit in any form from giving
hope of success. Filled with the
sense of our responsibility, proud OF
the opportunity to contribute our
part, conscious that only by eternal
vigilance can we preserve our prec-
ious heritage and hand it on I'M
harmed, let us go forward to the
end that government of the people,
by the people, and for the people,
shall not prish from the earth but
shall grow stronger and stronger
with the passage of time.

THE GERMAN VIEW
By Hugo Won Kleist.

Those of us who are truly "un-
hyphenated" Americans should re-
member that German is principally
as alien to the United States as it is
to England. Therefore, we must
bear in. mind that Bismarck, too, is
as little understood generally in
America as are all the German
eaders of today.
Many Americans think that, If
Bismarck had been in control last
July, the present war would never
have been. How little they knew
that Bismarck had a relatively much
more difficult job in 1852 than had
Germany in July, 1914. The great
difficulty under which Germany had
suffered, and practically died, after
1913. was the lack Of unity of the
German people. That difficulty was
seen by Bismarck in 1852 and was
overcome by him in 1870. At that
time, too, it had to be done by over
coming outside resistance, but prin-
cipally over-resistance from the in
side. Today the work Of Bismarck.
namely, to unity all Germans, has

FEDERAL NEWSPAPER Law.

Most readers of newspapers and
many publishers are not familiar
with thelaws governing subscrip-
tions. Here are the decisions of the
United States court on the subject.
They are interesting and we are
glad of the opportunity to print
them for the benefit of our subscrib-
ers:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
IF the subscribers order a discon-
tinuance of their publication, the
publisher may continue to send them
until all dues are paid.
IF the subscriber refuses to take
periodicals from the postofice to
which they are directed, he is re-
sponsible until he has settled his
blllsand ordered his paper discon-
tinued.
"M subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher and the papers are sent to the
former address, the subscriber is
held responsible.
THE courts have held that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the
postofice or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of intention to defraud.
IF subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time If they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise the
subscriber is responsible until ex-
press notice with payment of all ar
rearage is sent to the publisher.

John Ashley, a white man, was
sentenced to death at Miami a few
days ago for the murder of a Semi
mole. There was time in Florida
when the legal execution of a white
man for any offence-much less the
murder of one of inferior race
would. have been regarded as a very
remarkable occurrence. Along with
the States advance in other lines,
however, has come better and more
rigid law enforcement, and though
Justice frequently miscarries yet, the
sentiment in favor of its general and
impartial application is as active as
in any part of the country.

An avalanche Of bills, good, bad
and Indifferent, has been launched
by the Florida legislature. 1t is to
be hoped that the best legislation
will not be hopelessly buried, as has
sometimes been the case in the past,
when apparently only the lightest
and most frivolous measures came to
the top and within enacting reach.

ligent estimate of the character of
the legislative body; but it is start
ing off we'll, and we are hoping for
the best.

increase in values and corresponding

commission is ON the job and Is well
worth more than it costs.

SECRETARY GARRISON
DELIVERS ADDRESS
ON DEMOCRACY
Continued from Jage ID

Continued from Jage ID
for translation from one class to an.
other.
But the seed of change had been
sown. Men were beginning to real
ize that something was wrong with
the existing philosophy and conduct
Of life. There seemed to be no rea.
son in the claim that some might
have full play for their talents and
others not; that some should AFRO
gate to themselves the making OF
the laws and the enforcing of them
and that others should have nothing
to do Herewith; that there should
be self-appointed drivers and invol-
unfairly driven.
Great souls evolved these ideas;
great minds pondered them and
gave expression to them; and little
by little, like pollen blown over fer
tile fields, the ideas spread and took
root and flourished.
THUS was born the idea of de-
mocracy-that life and opportunity
and hope were the heritage of each
and all equally; that when men
gathered in human societies and
formed governments, justice must
be the foundation and the corner
stone and the pillars and the roof.
Justice-which means liberty to
each equally; which means no pref
erence or favor for any; no thing
given to one and withheld from the
other; equality of voice in the max
ing of the laws and in their enforce
ment; equality of voice in the nam
ing Of those to administer the laws;
and an equal opportunity, unhamp-
cred by unjust laws, to expand and
develop and obtain just returns for
what talents, strength and skill
each possessed.
This is what democracy with a
little d means. and what Democracy
with a capital d stands for.
"The ESSENTIAL foundation of such
a philosophy is sturdy citizenship;
one which asks no favors and grants
none; wants no special privilege and
gives none; citizenship which be-
lieves that the citizen should sup
port his self-created government.
and not permit the government
created by all the people, to be sub
verified to the personal profit or bene-
fit Of some Of the people. It's two
efficient agents are Representative
and home rule; the for

Of necessity SO occupied with his
own affairs that he must entrust

pose; the latter because only in that
way can democratic government be

|SAGE TEA TURNS !
| GRAY HAIR Dark
It's Gfandmother's recipe to
bring color, luster and thick
ness to hair when faded,
streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of
dark, glossy hair can only be had
by brewing mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Your hair is your
J charm. 1t makes or mars the face.
When it fades, turns gray, streak
ed and looks dry, wispy and
scraggy. just an application OF two
of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the
tonic; you can get from any drug
store a 50-ccnt bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound"
ready to use. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the
natural color, thickness and luster
Of your hair and remove dandruH,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur because it darkens So
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and
after another application it be-
comes beautifully dark and ap-
pears glossy, lustrous and abun-
dant.

Newest Corset Covers.

Corset covers with sleeve caps or
trimmed sleeves about four inches long
arc very dainty. This covering for the
top OF the arm is very sheer. often be-
ing made entirely Of lace or organdy
embroidery and lace combined. Other
styles have ribbon straps over the
shoulders SO that the wider shoulder
strap can be dispensed with when sheer
summer gowns are worn. Fitted under
waists are much worn with the low
bust corsets, trimmed with dainty lace
They are made to wear in place of
loose corset cover, being suited to the
present fashions Of semi fitted dresses,
suggesting a less corseted appearance
Do not expect the corset cover or
brassiere to At trim and neat If the
fault Is in the At of the corset. Have
you ever had corset of the right num-
Der which f1ared like q ruffie at the top
and was unsightly unless pinned? Most
women know exactly what this is. The
next time you encounter this difficulty
look on the inside Of the corset at the
top and you will hnd line of stitching
which looks like beading. If you take
q strong white cord and lace 1t through
this beading. you will be able to draw
up this fullness and get the desired
neatness. If this line Of stitching is
missing, stitch a row of white seam
binding within and run through 1t
stout white wash ribbon.
