ADVERTISING IN A LABOR
PAPER.

PRINTERS INK, the recognized
authority on advertising, after thor
rough investigation on the subject,
says:
"A labor paper is far better ad-
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper in comparison with circu-
latiOn. A labor paper, for example,
having 1000 subscribers is of more
value to the business man who ad-
vertises in it than an ordinary paper
with 10000"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-03-22

The Leader is the wOrkingman's
paper and is subscribed for and read
by larger percentage of laboring
people than any other paper in New
ark. Advertisers are deserving of
patronage-and get it.

But just how far do our democratic prin-
ciples extend? The oppressed peoples OF
the world hear us talk about self-determin-
alton; and there is little doubt that if they
believed our professions they would, as the
President has said, put themselves under
our leadership But do we really mean
what we say? Do we mean self-determina-
ton for all people, or only for some races
and not for others? Do we mean men and
women, or only men? Some Of these ques
lions we can answer reassuringly; but there
are others that the President told the Senate
he could not answer satisfactorily If the
Suffrage Amendment were to be voted
down. A number Of European nations have
enfranchised women, and nations too that
are still cropping under the benighted rule
of kings What are they to think of us
when the greatest deliberative assembly
on EARTH deliberately refuses to permit one
half Of our own people to have voice in
determining their own afairs9
That is what the President had in mind
when he said the passage of the Suffrage
Amendment was necessary to the winning
of the war. He was not thinking then OF
the Prussian Junkers, but of the Junlzers
in all countres-including our own. He
knows, and all forward-looking men and
women know, that Prussan Junkersm is
only one of the manifestations of privilege,
and that the war will not and can not be
won in the fullest sense without complete
overthrow Of privilege and the universal
establishment Of liberty.
The obstructionist Senators who placed
themselves athwart the path of progress
are men of limited vision. They have yet
to craps the full meaning Of justice and
freedom They want liberty for themselves,

and for few Of their friends, but not for
all. Some of them may see more clearly
when the Suffrage Amendment again comes
before them. The rest will pass into that
kindly oblivion that hides those who were
born too late. Meanwhile the President
will give them no rest.

POLITICAL POT-PIE

On the non-partisan Judicial ticket for
the state supreme court for the six-year
term, six candidates are running and two
Of that number Cayton's Weekly desires to
direct the attention of it's readers to, viz ::
Judge Wallace Mount and Judge John F.
Main, each of whom have been on the
bench for many years and who have given
good accounts of themselves. Three six
year term judges are to be elected. Despite
the fact they are running on non-parti-

the four, however, is E. G. Mills, creature
of organized labor, and now, as in the past,
we advise the colored voter to beware of
any one who comes bearing the ear marks
Of organized labor for he or she is your
mortal enemy. b. G. Mills per Sc may be
just as kindly disposed toward the colored
citizens Of this country as are Wallace
Mount and John F. Main, but being crea-
ture of organized labor, who has always
been the enemy of the colored man, he would
necessarily have to do the bddings Of or
ganized labor or prove traitor to it's mem
bers, which he would hardly do and therefore
the colored person giving e. G. Mills vote
would prove traitor to himself AS to the
ocler three Democratic candidates we may
make choice in our next ISSUE, but at this
writing they all "IOOk alike to me-
In King county the non-partisan judicial
ticket has four candidates seeking two places
two Republicans and two Democrats--all
Of them splendid men and exceedingly meri-
torious We can recommend but two and if
the ticket remains as is, we are going to
recommend to our readers the names of
Crawford b. White and Clay Alen-one
Republican and one Democrat Crawford
White is just as white at heart as his
name would indicate. He was a personal
friend of the late Andrew R. Black and
he often expressed himself to the writer to
the effect, he truly hoped Mr.. White would
be elected one of the superior court judges
Of King county. AS to Clay Allen, for the
same reason, the colored citizens should
vote against b. G. Mills they should vote
for Clay Allen-organized labor is for the
former and against the latter and you will
never make mistake if you vote the direct
opposite to organized labor. Union labor
always seeks to do you and to be wise
wise you will seek to do it first
AS to the Republican ticket of the state
and county three words tell the whole story
vote her straight. The country is thor
oughly sick of Democracy and at every
opportunity it should be slaughtered
From the fuss and furry made by Edwin
j. Brown, Democratic candidate for prose-
cutting attorney, Immediately after the pri-
mary election it looked as if he intended to
have himself elected before election day
came round but he has cooled down and
he has either decided he will not throw
good money after bad money or some one
has given him a friendly tip that the kind
Of rot he started out with would get him
nowhere. Fred Brown will beat Ed Brown
so badly that Ed will join some other po-
liitcal party before he runs for office again.

life long Republicans and further still even
before they went on the bench at divers
times showed strong friendship for the col

For Itching Torture

There Is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcornes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1OO. It will not stain. Is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins

IOWA STUDENT
MAKES FIND
Research Expert at University Has
Way to Produce Phenacetin
at Half It's Present
Cost.

w. A. KonantZ, a research chemist
in the college of pharmacy at the
state university, has discovered a
method by which phenacetin, drug
which became almost unobtainable
with the break with Germany, can be
produced at less than one-half its
present cost. This Is regarded as one
of the most notable scientific achieve
ments in the history of the institu-
don
The discovery will have a great
commercial importance, it is believed,
for this drug has been widely used
by physicians as a headache remedy.
but the consumption has been greatly
diminished by its scarcity and eXces-
sive cost. The government is demand
ing large quantities of it now, because
it constitutes an important part OF the
soldiers medical supplies.
When trade with Germany ceased,
the price rose to $40 a pound, and
even at that price, it was almost i'm
possible to obtain it because of the
limited supply. Domestic production
has lowered this figure considerably,
but American manufacturers have
been unable to make the drug econ
omically heretofore. The price now is
nearly ten times as great as 1t was
before the war.
The university pharmacists meth
cd yields a pure product which meets
all the requirements for medicinal
use. He is experimenting further In
the hopes of reducing the cost of pro
duction still more. His success so far
has cost him ten hours daily in the

MASON CITY, Iowa, Feb. 1.-THE
third Liberty loan campaign in Iowa
Will be in charge Of an 1owan, Charles
H. McNider, president of the First Ma
tional bank, Mason City, and first vice.
president Of the Greater Iowa associa-
ton, having been selected by the fed
eral reserve board as state chairman.
All of the facilities of the Greater
Iowa association will be turned over
to Chairman McNider for the actual
work of organizing the county COM
mittees. Secretary Clum of the Great
er Iowa association will have temper
airy Offices with the federal reserve
board in Chicago and Mr.. McNider will
spend the next two or three weeks in
Chicago getting the state organiza-
ton outlined
In the two previous Liberty loan
campaigns the state craftsmanship was
held by Chicagoan who was not in
touch with local conditions in Iowa and
1t was felt by many active men in
this state that to make the third Lib
erty loan drive even more successful
than the two previous drives, the or
ganization should be turned over to
Iowans.
In the second Liberty loan cam
paign only twelve counties in Iowa
reached their maximum quota and
many counties did not reach their
minimum. A careful analysis of this
condition has shown that the counties
making poor records were not proper
ly organized. The plan for the third
Liberty loan drive contemplates com
plete county organizations.
In the organization plan for this
third Liberty loan campaign all of the
commercial clubs of the state will be
utilized to the fullest extent. Through
the secretarial bureau of the Greater
Iowa association the facilities Of each
community club in Iowa are made
available and each of these clubs has
pledged it's entire effort to this com
|paign.
Mr.. McNider is one of the best
known business men in the state. was
formerly president of the State Bank
ers' association and has been domi
mating factor in every progressive
movement in Iowa in recent years.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The con-
ditiou is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age Is not time for harsh
physics Youth may occasionally
whip the bowels into activity. But a
lash can't be used every day What
the bowels of the old need is a
gentle and natural tonic. One that
can be constantly used without harm.
The only such tonic is Cascarets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box
at any drug store. They work while
you sleep.
