The liquor houses of the country
are, in measure, responsible for the
scarcity of paper. They send out tons
upon tons of circulars to prospective
customers in the dry districts. As
nine letters out of every ten are inn
mediately thrown into the postofice
waste receptacles, nine-tenths of the
paper used for circulars is wasted,
and the remaining one-tenth is worse

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR AL


About a century and a half ago Prot
estants and Catholics raIlying be-
meath the same standards fought and
died that we Of today might enjoy the
full rights of American citizens. In
those days the cry went forth, mo
taxation without representation.
Today in our great HbeTty-lOving
country are found some denying to
others this very right of representa-
ton. The man who does not use our
public schools must have no voice in
the control Of same, says G. A. Dew
ey in the issue of the 10th.
Because a man rents a house it
does not necessarily follow that he
must live in it. The privilege of thus
spending his money and leaving the
house UnOcCUpied is his. Neverthe-
less, he reserves the right to have a
voice in the control and management
Of the same. Just so with the Cath
O5iC. He shares equally with his fell
low citizens in the upkeep of the pub
lie schools. Has she not therefore a
constitutional right to have 4 voice
in the control of them? He prefers
to again pay to educate his children
in private schools. AS a free citi-
zen can he not do this without for
feiting his right of representation in
the public system? AS a public tax
payer his right to share in control of
public school matters must be safe
guarded for him. Apparently to G..
A. Dewey the words Public and Prot
estant are one and the same. It must
be understood, however, that the for
mer embraces all classes regardless
Of creed. Funds used to maintain
the public schools are the funds
from all the people. Therefore all
the people have equal right to share
in them. Why then any distinction
between teachers as regards posi-
lions in the public schools? Be ed

WILSON HEARS
SOUTH WANTS
TAFT FOR JUDGE
Many Democrats Would Give Him La
mars Place on Supreme Court
Bench.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-The strongest
kind of pressure from Democratic sources
is being brought to bear on President
Wilson to nominate ex-President Taft to
the vacancy in the supreme court of the
United States caused by the death of
Associate Justice Lamar. What has
been particularly surprising to the pres
ident il the fact that much of this pres
sure has come from southern Democrats.
Yesterday, for example, j. c. Milford
Of Honeapath, S. c., one of the leading
Democrats of the state, told the presI-
dent that from expressions he had heard
on business trips through both the Caro-
hnas and Georgia there was an over
whelming sentiment in favor of the Sc
lection of the former Republican presi-
dent.
The president is said to have displayed
more than ordinary interest in the state
ments of the South Carolinan and to-
have expressed a desire to hear more
about the Taft sentiment in the South.

We should drink, before breakfast. a

full of limestone phosphate in it to flush

yards of bowels the previous days indi-
gestible waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing sweetening and
purifying the entire ailmentary tract

The action of limestone phosphate and

the sour lamentations, gases, waste and
seidity and gives one a splendid appetite
for breakfast and il is said TO be but a
little while until the roses begin to APP

Washington, d. O., Jan. 2l.-Pressur'
is beginning to come from abroad for {

United States for the protection of for

demands for action are being made, the

are almost daily inquiring at the state

Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British am
bassador, who has been particularly in
quisitive in this respect, had another
long conference yesterday with Secre-

mitted that Mexico was discussed, nei-

Ambassador Bakmeteff of Russia saw

the arrest of Russian citizen by Car

result of representations the man has

the secretary the ambassador inquired
generally about the Mexican situation.
On behalf of Holmes, the only sur
vivor of the Santa Ysabcl massacre, Col
laetor Cobb, at III Paso, wired to the
state department yesterday denying
statements accredited to Holmes that
the latter knew of no passports issued

British blockade with shipments pre-.
tyious to the war.
The conclusion drawn by the London
press was that the goods formerly sent
to Germany dipeet from the United
States are now being shipped via Hol-
land and Scandinavian ports, and that
the so-called British blockade is entire
ly ineffective.
The promptness with which the gov
eminent discredited this article was
taken in some quarters as an indica-
ton that no drastic step is contemplated
by the cabinet. 1t was accepted in some
quarters as an indication that If the
government decides upon blockade pol
icy important concessions will be made
to neutrals to avoid arousing feelings of
hostility, particularly in the United
States.
Reports were circulated here after the
departure OF French Premier Aristide
BRAND and his colleagues, who attended
the war council of the allies, that France
has not yet agreed to the British plan
for substituting an actual blockade for
the present orders in council.
1t is said that the French officials have
withheld their full Endorsement because
of a fear that blockade would have
