A PUBLIC SPIRITED,
NEWSPAPER

The Peoria Transcript is waging a
fearless battle against the Sunday sa-
loon in that city. The narrow es-
cape of Mayor Woodruff. the propo-
nent of the Sunday saloon, from de-
feat in the recent election shows
how effective the work of the Tran
script is. The day after the election
the editor made this announcement:
"Thc Transcript will not leave the
trenches until the Sunday saloon in
this town has been abolished"

TWO COUNTIES DRY

Two counties in Pennsylvania from
which the liquor traffic is now barred
by the decree of the license courts
will remain in the dry class for at
least another year.
In Wyoming county Judge Terry
and his associates refused one appli-
cation for license and two other APP
plicants Withdrew. The county has
been dry for two years.
Judge Ray, in Green county, did not
find it necessary to hold license court
this year. The same condition existed
last year and the year previous. There
were no applications

The Decatur, ILL.,, Herald mentions
a fact of great significance when it
says that in recent raid of bootleg
gers in that city all were sent to the
county jail because no professional
bondsmen" appeared to bail them out.
Which shows that the professional
bondsman is another choice product
of the saloon.

DR.. Bernard Fantus, Chicago
I think I can say that the
medicinal uses of alcohol are
definite, but that alcohol is not
indispensable even in therapeu-
tics. believe that if the human
race was robbed of its alcohol
it would lose a consoler-but
would have far less to console.
AS a rule, alcohol has no place
in the welfare of the human
race and while the loss of alco-
hol would lessen the sense of
we'll being of the human race, it
would increase the welfare Of
the human race.

citizens of a town, a man and out
fit hired and started to work on
the condition that the good people
along the route would supplement
the work in their respective com.
munities.
There are four routes by which
this pike could be made-the La
am-Dresden road, the upper or
lower Boydsville road. or the Pal
mersville road-and serve a good
cause to many hundred families in
marketing their products. To
join this pike road, with the one
that is already started in the wes-
tern half and sure to be completed,
would link our county from east
to west and would enable our peo-
pie to make a trip to the Gulf of
Mexico at any time during the
winter, the season in which we
have more time for visiting, for
within less time than a year all
missing links in the pike road
throughout Mississippi will be
built.
Now, good citizens, think about
this matter, talk it over with your
neighbors, call for a pike road, and
have it whether with or without a
special road tax. We more than
pay the expense Of building a road
every year, any way, and have
no roads either. The time to start
is right NOWI Establish the
route, have it surveyed, cut the
trees, remove the stumps, set the
fences back this winter and next
summer build a greater portion OF
the road bed. Let US wake up and
start something.

Why Not Have
A Pike Road?

Editor Enterprise:
The fact that Weakley county
should have a number Of good
highways and pike roads is not
disputed by anyone. There is no
need for a lengthy discussion on
the Importance Of good roads, for
every man outside of the insane
asylum appreciates this fact; but
the time is at hand when we should
stop talking and start to doing
something. The good roads being
built in the western half OF the
county are cetainly credit to the
good people who made them. But
Of all places where a good pike
road is needed, tits from the coun'
ty seat to the northeast corner OF
the county. Why not build one
through this section, which is the
most thickly settled portion OF the
county and populated with thrifty,
industrious and progressive peo-
pie? These people work a greater
number of days during the year
and travel more than the average
farmers in the county. The ques-
ton, can this road be made, now
confronts US. The answer is that
roads are being built every year in
states and counties that cannot be
compared with Weakley county in
wealth and thriftiness. For in
stance, in our neighboring state,
Mississippi, where thousands and
thousands of acres of land can be
bought for SIS and $40 per acre,
there is scarcely county to be
found that is not building pike
roads, and principally by bond is
sue. One county is spending $685.
900 for the building of hard roads,
and this same county spent $780,
600 only eight years ago in making
roads. In this same county the
boil weevil has been raging for the
past seven years. You will, per-
haps, say these people have their
own gravel, but the fact is that
most of the gravel used comes
from Illinois,
The building of pike roads in
Weakley county by bond issue,
which should be done rather than
not have any roads, would bring
about great deal of discussion,
but there is another way to build
good road bed and maintain it
and without taxes. How is it to
be done? By the same method
these industrious people in west
Weakley county used, A sum Of
money could be raised by the good

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautfuI-eet a Is cent bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
Is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life, and if not overcome 1t
produces a feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.

oppose all legislation forcing arbitra-
ton.
House leaders pointed out tonight
that passage of the Adamson bills by
the House would not interfere with the
Senate procedure. The Senate has be-
fore it a bill passed by the House at
the last session to enlarge the Inter-
state Commerce Commission any
tached to it as amendments Action on
the entire bill in conference then
would be prompt it is argued.
Judge William l.. Chambers Of the
Federal Board of Mediation and arbi-
tration; Everett p. Wheeler, represent
ing the reform club of New York and
Amos l.. Hathaway of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, testified today
before the Senate committee.
Judge Chambers without giving his
views of the merits of the proposed
compulsory arbitration bill suggested
that Congress should amend the pres
ent arbitration law to empower federal
courts to enforce awards under it. Ono
of the chief grievances of railroad en-
ployes Is that there is no adequate ma
chiner for award enforcement.
Mr.. Wheeler contended that supreme
court decisions showed the power Of
Congress to legislate forbidding an or
ganized strike interfering with inter-
state commerce. Such legislation he
said would not make a railroad en-
ployee an involuntary servant and would
not affect his right as an individual to
quit work.
Mr.. Hathaway thought the bill to
give the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion power to fix railroad wages would
be more logical solution Of wage prob
lens than arbitration legislation but
doubted its expediency.

The largest premiums have been offered

is a showing of birds that fill every nook
