city council of Buckley concluded
that the induitries of the city

they had good streets plowed UP
and paved them with concrete
and taxed the cost to the prop
erty owners.

is $412, which with. the tax bill
from Mr.. Carr put me in the holt
$533.83.

have a member of Commercial

how to make ends meet.
The fault of this high taxation
lies a good deal with the people
They are continually after tn
county commissioners for publ
improvements, not considerin
the expense. They spent tho,
sands of dollars on the Whit
river hill here, which was abst
lutely unnecessary. A good des
of fault lies with the public pres

THE MAN, NOT WEALTH.

Some undemOcratic politicians in
Wisconsin are looking to the possession
of much property as a qualification
for lawmakers. But their faith is not
well founded. Even in the south large
estates are no longer a sure founda-
ton for craftsmanship. The election
of Private John Allen to congress
from Mississippi some years ago is
case in point. His opponent was a
confederate general who had long
represented the district; and was a
man of wealth and distinction. In a
speech, while canvassing for reelection,
he expressed confidence that people
would not go back on "the general
who slept in tent on yonder hill
side" When it came Aliens turn.
he replied that it was up to the
people to choose between the general
and the private soldier who. stood
guard while the general slept. They
chose the private soldier; and they
were represented for a good many
years by man with very clear head
and sharp tongue.

FOR A TOWN MEETING.

Now that Mineral Point has an audi
forum so large that all Of her voters can
assem- BILE and meet together face to
face, The Democrat would suggest that
a town meeting be called to consult
upon the common good. 1t was large
ly through the town meetings of
colonial times our wonderful system of
representative government was worked
out. The best thing about the town
meeting was the constant training in
politics that it gave to the mass of the
people FIFTY it has been called the
best school Of political liberty the
world ever saw"
The women of Mineral Point are
rightly taking a part in civic affairs.
But for some time to come, at least,
the election Of public officers in Wis
consin will be a mans job. 1t is
therefore up to the men Of Mineral
Point to look we'll to the choice of
public servants, and to the measures
which their public servants will give
force and effect.
Let town meeting be called and
let the aft airs of the city be discussed in
a spirit of mutual helpfulness.

She walked from Warsaw to Lem
berg, passing over places where there
had been hard fighting and gathering
mementos. From Lemberg she went
to the outskirts of Cracow. She says
she became obsessed with the idea that

She called her experience a might

Favorite Recipe of.
Sage Tea and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage,
Tea and Sulphur, properlycompounded
brings back the natural color and lus-
ire to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is .mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle Of this famous old recipe
for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it. No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy.-Adv.
