IN PREPAREDNESS THE Ap-
MINisTRATioN HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and a half ago we
were told that the question OF
preparedness was not a pressing
one; that the country had been
misinformed. Later, under the
pressure Of other leadership, this
attitude was changed. The ad-
ministration. it was said. had
learned something" and it made
a belated demand for an in
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con.
sistently and the pressure ex.
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
vealed by the present mohiliza.
ton are due to the system. But
1t was precisely such plain de.
fects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years. with
the whole world intent on mil.
tary concerns. should have been
studied and rectifed The ad
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. An
parently it is now seeking 10

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
ARE Growing BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every day and don't know the reason
why. Many Of them never expect TO
save even what hair is left.
This is indeed a pity, says a hair
specialist, who claims that badness
usually comes from carelessness, and
that anyone who gives the hair just a
little occasional attention should al
ways have an abupdance OF good
healthy hair. Dust and dirt help TO
cause badness by clogging the pores
in the scalp and giving the germs OF
dandruf fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment is very simple; wash
out the dust and dirt with any pure
soap at least once in ten days and de-
stroy the dandruff germs by applying
every other night Partisan Sage, a
delightfully."- efficient preparation that
hundreds OF druggists recommend as
the surest treatment TO stop hair
from falling. to remove dandruff and
TO refresh and inyigorate the hair
roots.

is very little. and 70 supply the steady
demand our leading druggists always

ty he ought to know is unimpeach-
able. For example, he has this in
his last issue:
Editor Jordan says the soci-
alists voted for Cats, but they
took the precaution to register as
democrats. Wonder how he Sc
cured the privilege Of examining
the supposedly secret ballots of
socialists or anyone else? Some
how Knott and his supporters pro-
feSS an undue familiarity with
the contents of ballot boxes and
how tickets were marked"
1t is enough to say that Editor
Jordan secured his information
from the socialists themselves.
Now will suspicious Hugh please
tell us how any ballot-box rob-
Der can distinguish between the
ballot cast by a socialist and that
voted by a Democrat? Perhaps
Hugh may have had some exper-
fence in examining secret ballots
and ascertaining the political l.
IDENTIFY of those who cast them,
but The Herald editor has never
had any such experience nor has
he ever participated in any polit-
ical fraud or been even suspected
of so doing.
He has never tried, as Hugh
Sparkman is doing, to foist upon
the people of Florida a political
from abroad who is
virtual stranger in the state and
a social firebrand amongst our
peaceful people.
One result of this policy is the
openly expressed contempt of the
courts for doing their duty-the
courts which the people establish
eel for the express purpose of set
thing disputes between themselves
This is anarchy pure and simple,
and it follows that Cats and his
supporters are fostering anar-
chism.
