kept as nearly normal possible through the exercise
Of sound common-sense by official producing and

and il ageearners to receive pay which will enable

We believe this country is entirely too big and its
varied resources too enormous TO permit Itself to be
thrown into state of panic by the unwise acts OF on

ton; but If you do have to give him
some information be sure 1t is wrong
or half wrong so his time VIII be
wasted.
7. Gossip all you can, as that mol
only kills your own but another;
time.

TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK

You can enjoy a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a. very
trifling cost. if you get from your drug
gist a package Of canthrox and dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup Of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it
to all the hair instead OF just the top Of
the head. Your shampoo is now ready
Just pour a little at time on the scalp
and hair until both are entirely covered
by the dalntlly perfumed preparation
that thoroughly dlssolves and removes
every bit Of dandruff, excess. oil and
dirt. After rinsing. the hair dries
auickly. with a fuflness that makes it
seem heavier than It Is. and takes on a
rich lustre and a softness that makes
arranging 1t a pleasure.

amcursp AS la TOILETTE SEES THEM.

=, ENATOR ROBERT NJ LA TOILETTE, on his record
y is in favor Of maintaining every alleged right
AGAINST the American government and OF surrenderng
every American right to the Kaser's government.
The right Of Americans to life property should not
be upheld it is "technicality' says La Toilette
The victims Of the Lusana had only technical right
not to be murdered American sailormen and ship own
ers had only technical right to sail the Atlantic
ocean That ocean technically" is free TO all nations
but should be given the Kaiser for his exclusive use
if he demanus It.
such is La Foletes position attested by his words
and his votes.
But the right Of some irresponsible or German paid
publisher to print bes the American nation to de-
fame the President urge boys to get into the
penentary by resisting the law Is sacred according
to La Toilette.
No technicaty about that. "Free speech" according
Ia La Toilette has no limitations. Although the law
and constitution never have recognized free speech
against private citizen without attendant criminal and
civil responsibility La Toilette insists that the govern
ment the army the navy and the decent Americans who
are uphodng ag should have protection against
German paid lies
Indeed according to La Toilette the government must
be compelled to transport through It's postal system any
kind OF defamation printed the interest Of the public
enemy and give circulation TO matter printed and pub
lshed for the express purpose Of barmns America and
helping the Kaiser
La Toilette is indignant because the rights" OF the l.
W. w have been violated" Destruction OF wheat
blowing up Of factories and sabotage generally would
seem to be inalienable rights, to follow La Folletes
contentious to their logical conclusion.
Even the denunciaton OF La Toilette as traitor,
against which nc complains so feelingly, is right
which must be protected the uttermost If La Toilette
is correcahough in this instance he threatens to shut
up free speech" by filing libel suits.
Stripped Of pretense La Foette's record shows that
he believes that Americans have rights worth respect
ing as against Wilhelm H. and that the American gov
ernment and people have no rights at all as against
traitors, potters and slanderers.
Most Americans will be inclined to believe that Abra-
! ham Lincoln good American and as thorough
democrat as Robert NJ. La Toilette. In war time Lin
coin handled the question Of free speech even more
drascally than being handled today When defam-
ers passed the point of criticism and actually began to
aid the enemy by lying they felt the strong hand OF
martial law.
Today the has not beyond declining to
transport traitor pamphlets and papers, and 1t is carry
ing free Of charge the doyal speeches OF La Toilette
The Senator Is avang himself Of the franking priv
ege to scatter throughout the country speeches which
the German Kaiser would read with profound gratitude

There is no doubt that In future the

there were twice as many and thal

that the raiding force had been utter

an amazing achievement, yet In pom

It was inevitable that in the prac-
