Remove Roots as Well
AS Surface Hairs
(Something New and Differently

The chemist who discovered the re-
markable hair-destroying properties of
phelactine has conferred a genuine
blessing upon a multitude OF women.
This peculiar substance seems to par
alyze and shrink up the hairs to which
it is applied, right down to their roots
and these hairs come out very easily
and quickly, roots and all, before ones
very eyes!
Phelactine is perfectly odorless, non
irritating, non-poisOnOus-a child could
eat it without the least harm. Not to
be compared at all with depilatOries
or electrolysis. 1t leaves the skin so
soft, smooth and hairless. no one
would guess yo1 ever had moustache
or other hairy growth. If you will OBJ
tain a stick of phelactine from your
druggist and follow the simple instruc-
tions, you will certainly be more than
pleased. d."-Advertisement.

THE PRICE ToBoGGAN

Tn RECENT years able economists
L everywhere have been fascinated by
study of the potential power of the
banker in the field of general ethics and
even in the realm of public morals.
lhus, in some important estimates, final
blame for the recent war is carried be-
yond the German militarist clioucs and
their leaders and laid fatty on the big
hnaRcial groups which provided the
moral and material support without
which German plans of aggression could
never have been carried out. Sim
ilarly it Is often contended that when
banking groups refuse to support mill.
taristic and imperialiStic doctrines be-
cause of the conviction that modern war
is not only intolcrably cruel but. in the
end. Improbable. international strife
will end forever.
New interest is lent TO this broader
view of finance by the suddenppss with
which the banks and banking systems Of
the country made theiF influence felt
when 1t became apparent that an end
OF high prices was desirable for the
good of the country and even in tho in
tcrcst of legitimate business. Gentle
but steady pressure from the banks.

their borrowing power to continue

public. Though he is not disposed to
view the break in nrircS aS a sonSc.
qucnce of banking influence. it is i'm
possible to disregard the Signiticantc of
the request sent by the Federal Reserve
Board to financial institutions every =
where in the country asking them care
fully to restrict loans sought for Spec,l =
lative purposes.
Will n slump in food prices occur as
matter of course? Mr. Norris is
that tho costs Of food essentials will re
main high until production and ship
ping are Quickcned in Europe and the
United States and until great grain
areas in Russia and elsewhere are free
of the paralyzing effects Of war and
blockade. This prospect does not in any
way lessen the Importance of a down
ward price movement in other fields. II
the people must continue to pay heavily
for food. it is all the more important
that they be relieved of the necessity to
pay eXorbitant prices for other indis =
pcnsablc commodities.

THE JAZZ IN POLITICS

THOUGHTFUL folk who begin each
L day with a tear for the irrationality
of political thinking in the United
States as it is revealed in existing lines
of party division suggest. with some
reason, that there could b. no room
among either Republicans or Democrats
for men lik, Bryan and la Toilette,

the dangerous and the undesirable Of
the two dominant political groups.
Such a party could not exist. II
would be like n country in which every
man wanted to be king and was willing
TO fight for his belief. You cannot or
ganize a group of men who insist on
flying off every morning in different
directions. The Bryans and the La
Follettes. the Borahs and the John
sons wouldn't go it alone Why? Be-
cause they ar" n particularly chccrlcss
and uninspiring crowd.
They are radicals and domagogucs
who haven't the courage to move out
into the open from the shelter Of a CON
seryative party name.

AS TO PITCH

THE address of retiring Moderator
l. John Willis Baer. advocating the
active participation of the church in
politics. indicates the awakening of tho
churches to the necessity of taking a
more active part in the things of gov
rrnmcnt. 1t is good advice. and il
followed will be "short cut to the
political regeneration of tho country.
Gang politics exists only because the
best citizens Of city or state choose
to let il exist The churches should be
the most formidable enemy of the po =
litical gangstcr, but the political inter-
est of the church heretofore has been
sporadic and has been confined to single
issues rather than with the general
evils which lie at the root of our un
satisfactory political situation.
The policy Of the church in the past
has been too much that one cannot
touch pitch without being defled. This
may be true, but it should also be re
mcmbered that pitch cannot be removed
without touching it.

for the organization of common pleas
courts would be so strong throughout
the state that you would probably have
to give some recognition to the common

1t is still an open question as to whether
the division of our appellate court as

sirable thing. 1t may be desirable to
create one appellate court in two divi-
siOns. it may be desirable to maintain
the existing situation, but let us find
that out, and if it is desirable to change
the existing situation and have one
appellate court of two divisions let us
do it. You have created supreme

much better than you have done. You

which the platform drafttrs profess to
favor? The only answer that can be
found is that the league must be op-
posed because President Wilson favors 1t.
This sort of subterfuge may commend
itself to lot Of politicians seeking to
put the other party in hole, but 1t
cannot fool the thinking people of the
United States.
The men indorsing IL would do well
TO remember that the man who digged
a pit for his enemy fell into 1t himself.
1t is evident that the Republican
leaders do not dare oppose the general
plan underneath the League Of Nations
covenant because they know that it has
the support of the conscience of the
nation. They desire to hold the sup
port of the broad minded Republicans
and keep in line the Republicans with
parochial intcllects in the hope that
they can keep the party ranks solid.
But it is n policy of stupidity and
blindness, without faith in the clcarness
of vision Of the average man and actu-
atcd by the narrwest partisan prciu-
dice.
What is needed just now in the Re-
publican councils is courage and intel
lectual honesty; the courage to indorsc
with such notifications as seem cx-
pcdient the League of Nations plan
originating with Democratic Prcsi-
dent. and the intellectual honesty which
will refrain from every attempt to be-
fuddlc and mislcad by denouncing one
minute what it indorscs in another form
the next.
The Republican leadership is on trial.
1t can wreck the hopes of millions of
voters who have confidence in the ability
of their party to rise to it's great op-
portunity.
Or it can lead these voters in the
crusade for better things not only in
the United States but in the whole
world.
