LE6lSLAllkE SHOILD All.
From the Smyrna Times.
The Board OF Managers of the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls Is
making through its president, Mrs.
Charles NJ Curtis, an appeal to the
Legislature for an appropriation. This
worthy institution, as well as the Fer
ris Industrial School, we sometimes
think are too little appreciated among
the good people of our State and il is
both timely and important that State
aid should come to them. Mrs. Curtis,
the president, In her letter to each
member OF the Legislature sets forth
some facts concerning the Delaware
Industrial School for Girls that should
be studied with care by the peoples
representatives. In its twenty-five
years of existence, the school has gone
about its work so quietly and so eff
ciently that the general public has
known little about II.
Few have ever seen the admirably
located present site Of the school in
Brandywine hundred. And not many
realize the large sum which its build
ings. ground and equipment represent
During its existence 32S girls, from all
care and at present time II girls are
in the institution, of whom ten are
from Kent county. and seven from Sus-
sex. Girls are admitted only on COM
mitemnts, after hearing, by courts or
justices Of the peace, ON charges show
ing that they need moral training, as
the school is well fitted to give. For
maintenance. as distinct from the prop
erty equipment the State appropriates
annually $4,000, and the Levy Courts
of each county pay sum per diem for
each girl. In view Of the increased
cost of living and Of other require
ments, the Legislature is asked to in
crease the annual appropriation TO
$4,000.
With the information given by Mrs.
Curtis.- the Legislature should have
ample knowledge on which TO act. and
II should do what Is needed 10 lift from

Ieiis How to Make Hair Grow Thick
ON LustrOus on Bald and
Thin Spots.

Thousands Of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
a pity, says hair specialist. who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness. and that anyone
who gives the hair Just a little atten-
ton should always have an abundance
OF good, healthy hair. Dandruff and
dirt cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp and giving the dam
druff germs fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment is very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampooing at least
once in ten days and destroy the dan
druff germs by frequently applying a
little OF the real Partisan Sage. a
most efficient preparation that the

and safest treatments TO surely stop

A PEOPLE WITHOUT A RIGHT.


Senator Lodge and Senator Weeks
are absolutely right in voting against
liquor prohibition in the District Of
Columbia without a reference Of the
question first to the opinion OF the
people Of the District. They could
not have voted otherwise if guided by
the principles which have always pre-
vailed and still prevail in Massachu-
sets. In this State, we do not put
prohibition upon any community with
out its consent, and even If sometime
Statewide prohibition were decreed
here, it could not be decreed without
the consent of the people of the whole
State. The right so TO decide is in
herent in any community-even in
that Of the District of Columbia, the
natural rights Of whose people can not
wholly be taken away from them even
under the authority Of the system
which has resulted in the deprivation
Of the inhabitants Of the District, not
citizens of and voters in the various
States, Of the suffrage. Under such a
vote as that of the Senate yesterday
tie vote, by the way, revealing the
weakness Of the plea under which it
was taken-the people Of the District,
in so far as they are not voters else
Where, are relegated to the position OF
the merest political serfs. They are
condemned by it to a condition in
which they have fewer rights than
even the Russian peasant, who in his
village assembly possesses a kind of
town-meeting control over his imme-
diate affairs. The Washington people
have not a shred of such control left,
if this denial of the right of referen-
dun in a matter so local and so vital
is sustained by the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
A dry Washington, for that matter,
is always a hypocritical Washington.
The prohibition of the sale of liquor
simply results in the serving of
whisSey in tea cups and a resort to
other devices Of trickery, and the gov
ernment of the nation sets an example
of fragrant humbuggery to the people.
AS everybody finds his way to Wash
ington, firm impression is conveyed
to all that the United States is the
home and headquarters of government
tai pretence and fraud Senator Lodge
and others who have been through it
all are thoroughly justified in refusing
to sanction another attempt at a dry
Capital, at all events without the ap-
proval Of the people Of the District.

LEAVE 1T TO THE PEOPLE.
fWocbfporto,, Doet 4

The instructive impulse Of Ameri-
cans is to submit such (prohibition)
questions as this to the people and to
abide by the decision of the majority.
There is no other way of satisfying
the people. All of them are per-
fectly willing to accept the verdict
rendered by most of them. They are
habituated TO this method of settling
public affairs.
The Senate and House will not go
wrong if they refer to the people the
question of prohibition in this District.
No one knows what the decision would
be, and it does not matter-it would
be a righteous decision, binding upon
the people who made it. A decision
by Congress might be right or wrong,
but a decision by the people could not
be wrong.

Others That Prohibition
Without Their Consent,

COmmonwealths. Approval by the
House and the President of the SEN
ate measure will be a denial even Of
local option to a population of more
than 100000 at the National Capital.
Legislation of this kind is arbitrary
because it commits the nation at its
political center to a policy never au-
thorized by the people. The fact that
the action Of the Senate is said not
to represent the honest views Of a
majority Of it's members but TO have
been taken in response to the most
persistent lobbying ever known in
Washington does not help the situa-
tion. When such precedents are set in
federal affairs, there should be some
thing more than well-organized
clique behind them.
Two provisions of the bill as it now
stands deserve particular attention.
One prescribes the method by which
liquor may be introduced into the Dis
trict for personal use"-a considera-
tion which may have weight with
statesmen far from home. The sec
ond relieves the diplomatic represent
atives of foreign nations from its
penalties. In all other respects the
sale or the gift of intoxicants, except
for scientific, medical, manufacturing
or sacramental purposes, is forbidden,
and physicians are to be held TO a
strict account for their prescriptions.
A law enabling the Minister from
Costa Rica to serve wine at dinner but
denying that privilege to the Presi-
dent of the United States can be re-
garded only as an expression Of
bigotry reinforced by stupidity. When
may we expect an act Of Congress

A MATTER OF JUSTICE.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.)
The statement, editorially made in
these columns several days ago, that
the citizens of the District OF Column
bia should be given an opportunity to
decide for themselves the question of
the liquor traffic within their district,
is worth repeating at this time.
It remains for Congress to solve the
situation in a manner agreeable to
both the vets and the drys.
The Senate of the United States
by substantial majority, has adopted
the Sheppard bill abolishing saloons in
the National Capital after the first Of
next November.
If the lower house approves the
action of the upper branch by giving
its approval TO the cause of prohibi-
tion, enforced by legislation without a
determining vote of the people, the
cause Of the prohibitionists will not
be strengthened by that act.
On the contrary every citizen Of the
United States who believes in the peo-
pie determining for themselves ques-
tlOns Of this character, will undoubt-
edly feel the necessity Of voting with
the vets, no matter what his personal
opinion of the righteousness Of the
AAd~oA HuSs1loh Lhay De'
The matter Of passing and enforcing
sumptuary legislation is one Of the
most delicate problems concerning our
country today. Our future as a ma
ton, within the boundaries Of which
every citizen of legal age is guaran-
teed voice in the affairs of his coun-
try, depends upon giving the people
the right to determine matters of that
character for themselves.
The ballot box is the medium
through which the will of the people
is expressed. The result of a popular
vote is legally a proclamation of the
entire people, even though the ma
jority developed may be small.
The public will not be satisfied with
laws of that character created by
Legislative function, without the peO-
pie themselves being granted an op-
portunity to express their opinion con-
corning the measure at hand.
The people Of the District of Colum-
bia are entitled TO the same considera-
tion that is granted to the people of
the various States concerning laws on
subjects so closely related to their
daily affairs as the question of pro-
hibition, for or against.
If both houses of Congress stand
for prohibition in the District Of Co
lumbia, without consulting the people,
the members will have reason TO know
that the very purpose of the law
which they have enacted will be de-
feated.
