The Dallas News, one day this

tention to the character OF campaign
which is being conducted IN this
city at this time by those who OPP
pose the reelection Of Mayor Law
Their and his administration. We have
fallen upon evil times; when the is
sues In campaign are deliberately
and determinedly set aside and the
men whose names are before the
people as candidates are merely
abused as substitute for argument.
Dallas will be q great city some day.

fact should be kept steadily In view

Of the municipality.
The Dallas Express has faith In

years II has watched its growth. II
petty bigotry Of Durile Office seekers
and studied meanness OF their adj
vocates can be kept within proper
4 limits, Dallas will grow and her in
dustries and institutions will Giour-

To-day we have city government
which while 1t has not done all the
things perhaps which The people
wanted. yet 1t can be said In truth
/ that progress has been made and

THE WORLDS FAMOUS HAIR CUL.
TURIST PUTS NEW TOILET AR.
TICLES ON THE MARKET.

Madam C. ]. Walker, the well
known business woman, adds five
additional toilet articles to her pop
ular line of goods for women. These
additions are as follows: Madam
Walkers Cold Cream, Cleansing
Cream, Vanishing Cream and super
fine Face Powders, ald Witch Hazel
Jelly. These articles will be sold
to agents at the regular agents terms
and retail at 80 cents per box with
the exception OF the Witch Hazel
Jelly which will retail at 35 cents
per Jar. The Madam C. J. Walker.
hair preparations have become so
universally popular until the Walker
years insisting that Madam Walker
put cold cream, face powder and
other toilet articles on the market
For the last two years Madam. Walker
has devoted her time and energies
to these new toilet articles, deter
mined as she puts It, to not flood the
market with a cheap substitute for
the genuine article, saying to one of
her agents, "I have always made it
rule 10 never offer the public any
thing unless / thought that was in
position to give value received" At
last with the aid Of one Of the best
chemists that this country affords,
Madam Walker has from high quality
material without regard to cost COM
pounded three preparations of unsur-
passed merit. Speaking of these pre-
parations Madam Walker said, Il
make no superlative claim for my
new toilet articles, while / naturally
think they are the best and know
there is none better ON the market.
1 shall let my goods make their
own reputation. All / ask that they
be given fair trial.
The introduction of this new line
brings to the front Of the public
mind the history of this remarkable
woman and her popular hair pre-
parations that are not only sold in
every village, hamlet, and city in
this country, but enjoys large for
eignl sale and grows more popular
as the years roll by. Madam Walker
has been regarded as a business
genius, which after all, is nothing
more than the capacity for hard and
sustained effort along business lines,
combined with rare foresight, tact
and skill and we might add what to
our minds is more important still,
honesty in dealing with her custo-
mers and agents. One Of Madam
walkers business slogans is, "Once
user Of Madam Walkers prepare
ticns, always user" and this slo-
gan is literally true as Madam Walk
er's books will show that among her
best customers today are to be found
those who purchased the first dozen
boxes Of preparation that she placed
on the market. In speaking Of this
remarkable fact, Madam Walker has
had this to cay, SAl1 / desire e that
the public know the truth about my
goods. want everybody to know
that for years / had practically no

and stubby. I want them 70 know

Excess Baggage.
When Emily went out to shop
A year or so ago,
A tiny little leather purse
She dangled to and fro
She wore hat so wide of brim
1t hid her pretty face,
And in her skirt a dozen yards \
were pleated into place.
But, 10! a brimless bonnet now
Adorns her golden hair,
And skirts but half yard around
Dame Fashion bids her wear;
For all the stuff that made her hat
And dresses once so wide
Has gone into the fancy bag
She carries at her side.
