The Way This Ne.o Supply
of Enelish Beauty Clay
Will Be Distributed

Even this huge shipment of
Forty Minute Beauty Clay would
soon melt away if placed on sale
in the usual manner. Those who
have used it would Law in a sup
ply; beauty parlors would stock
up with il; distributors would
soon have the rest. So the lab
oratory where the imported clay
is refined and compounded is por-
tioning it out in individual jars
direct to those who are anxious
to use it. Each jar contains
enough for transforming any
skin; enough to remove the most
stubborn blemishcs and smooth
out the coarsest texture.
Full jars are sent for trial,
although but one application
brings the astonishing changes
you have read about and heard
about in connection with this i'm
ported clay of almost uncanny
powers. The benefits are lasting,
yet most women like to CLAW at
least once weekly. By so doing,
they ward off even a suggestion
of returning blackheads or other
impurities. And the skin clayed
once a week glows with a new
cleanliness and new color and
freshness that seem to take about
ten years off the face.
If you have not yet clayed, a
new Joy awaits you. just one ap-
plication of this imported clay
will bring surprising improvement
for which you would gladly pay
the established FIVE dollar price.
But another surprise is revealed
in the laboratory's generous trial

A NeuD Natural Wonder

Amazing as are the results
everyone gets from the new clay
ing process, they are simply cx-
planned to one who understands
the science of dermatology. For
long time there have been do
mestic clays that some women
have found helpful. These clays
of commerce can impart to some
tvoes of skin a perceptiblv height
ened color for several hours.
But this unique English clay is a
permeant; so its effects are last
ing. They go deep down and
unseat the causes of unlovely
skin texture.

Ryerson-whoSe discovery made
claying possible to women of this
country-and he makes this an
nouncement:
The new shipment of English

Of their wish to try it. Results

Fl O IS THE BARREL

The Fargo Courier News is controlled directiv
by the three men who constitute the majority Of
The state committee of the North Dakota Nopparti-
saiAleague. That paper says that Mr.. Townley has
Offered that if his present political plans are followed
he will see to it that all the obligations of the league
are paid, and that all the accommodation paper now
outstanding will be taken care Of. 1t is also stated
that IT collection on this paper is forced many North
Dakota farmers who have signed it will be ruined.
This last statement is, of course, a matter of COM
mon knowledge. e ~.
The Courier-News wants to know where all
this money is coming from with which to bride the
farmers OF North Dakota to support a political poll
cy which is declared to have as its object the return
of Senator McCumber to his present position.
The Nonpartlsan league is bankrupt. Its mem
bers have ample reason to be aware of this. fact.
They have paid dues and assessments without end.
Still comes the demand for money, and more money.
Immense sums have been received, but still the
treasury is empty. The debts owed directly by the
signed by its individual members aggregate i'm
nense sums The members may be pardoned for
some curiosity as to how Mr.. Townley proposes.
not only to keep the operating expenses of the
league paid, but to pay the hundreds OF thousands
of dollars of Indebtedness which has been accurnu-
lated.
The conclusion of the league paper is that the
money which MIR. Townley promises is to be paid
by persons who are determined at any cost to keep
Mr. McCu1nber i'll the senate and at the head Of the
powerful finance committee, and that they have en-
tered into a contract with Mr.. Townley to this ef-
feet
What are the facts? The charge is made d.
reetly by the principal league paper under the au-
ihorlty Of the majority of the state league commit
tee, and against Mr.. Townley, the head Of the ma.
tlonal league organization and q number of his po-
l1t1cal associates IN this state. 1t is strictly a fam.
NY affair, but.we imagine that a good many Of the
members Of the family will be interested in learning
what this situation is.

about as little reason to fear that he would neglect
his judicial work because Of the time which it was
Necessary to devote to baseball.
The real trouble lay in the fact that his course
tended inevitably to lower the judicial office in the
estimation of the public. 1t is a fact that federal
judges are not highly paid. It may be that they
should receive greater compensation. In consider
ing what compensation should be paid there must
be regard for the fact that the position is for life,
and 1T is quite certain that the position should not
be made SO attractive from a pecuniary standpoint
that it will be sought eagerly merely on account Of
the salary which it carries. The. man who is not
wiling to torego some commercial advantages for
the. honor of serving his country in one of its most
important fields of'endeayor has no business on the
bench
If Judge Lands had resigned his position to ae-
eePt the baseball con1mlssionershlp, there would
have been q feeling that the judiciary had lost, and
a great pastime had gained the services OF a strong
man There would have been !1ttle criticism of him.
But there would still have been regret that
a private business should have been able to draw
from the bench a man who has sat upon it for seven
teen years. The act would have been considered as
i'll a sense the RELOCATION of the judicial office to a.
place Of minor importance.
But when Judge Lands chose to accept private
occupation at a salary nearly six times that paid
him by the government, and at the same time to re-
tain his federal office, every Judge, every lawyer,
every citizen, had a right to feel that an act of con-
tempt had been committed against one of the coun-
try's most important and most cherished institu-
tons.
The present resignation Of Judge Lands will
terminate a condition which was a standing affront
to the American people. The unfortunate situation
has had its conapensatjng feature in the abundant
evidence afforded that in spite Of their admiration
Tor the talents of Judge Lands and in spite OF their
respect for his integrity, the American people have
a sufficient regard for their courts to appreciate
the improperly Of his conduct, AMI to express their
resentment Of it in such terms that his offcnse is
not likely to be repeated.

THESE BE THY GODS, O ISRAEL.

Readers of The Herald are invited to peruse with
care the editorial on another page, reproduced from
the Fargo Courier News, which is the official daily
organ of the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota,
and which is under the personal direction of Messrs.
Liederbach, Levang and kaldor, majority members
OF the leagues state committee. In this article the
Courier News declares the existence OF a plot par
ticipated in by \. C.. Townley, national president Of
the United States senatorship, with all the patron
age connected t%herewith, the funds for this purpose
to be derived from a corrupt political organization
which is determined, through the retention Of Sel1a-
tor McCunlber in his present position at the head
OF the senate finance committee, to control the eS-
%penditure of the millions which are to be paid out
by the government on the recommendation Of that
committee. The article makes specific charges, that
in the last senatorial election Mr.. Len1ke urged the
reelection Of Mr.. McCu1nber; that the McCunfber
factiop managed to secure the retention of the name
of Major White on the ticket, thus splitting the op-
position to McCumber and insuring his election;
that Townley, through his representative, has prom
Used that if his present political PLAYS arc supported
paid, and the obligations existing in the form of out
standing notes and post-dated checks, the collection
of which would mean ruin to many farmers, will be
met. The Courier News not unnaturally wonders
where Mr.. Townley will get all that money.
The article expressed surprise that Mr.. Frazier
should lend himself to such a scheme, and suggests
that he is being used as a means Of drawing some
of the fire of the opposition, while McCutnber may
slip into Office again, Frazier to be rewarded later
with an appointment to salve his wounds, In the
case of John Hagan no surprise is expressed, as his
record indicates that "his sense Of honor might not
easily be offended by such a sale as is contem-
plated"
The article must be read to be appreciated. It
cannot fttingly be described 1t is to be remember
ed that it does not emanate from the independent
press, but comes right from league headquarters,
and that the men who are denounced in lt-are the
same men who have been prominent in the councils
of the league, and that some of them, Townley and
Lemke, for instance. have been its guiding spirits.

THE COAL
There is every prospect of a coal

There is every prospect of a coal strike this
spring. The miners convention in Indianapolis is
caplnltted to demands for the retention of present
wage scales i'll some fields and increases in others.
with shorter working days and working weeks, and
no decreases IN compensation anywhere. In the
meantime the consumers of coal are paying approx
1nlately double pre-war prices for the fuel where
with to heat their homes and carry on their indus
tries.
There IS a sharp conflict in the convention be-
tween the radical and the less radical forces. In the
test afforded by the vote on the appeal OF Howat,
OF Kansas, from the rulings OF the officers and his
attempt to override their decisions in defiance OF
the rules OF the organization, the conservatives won.
But the vote was SO close that the changing Of less
than three votes out of every hundred cast would
have reversed the decision. Over such a victory
there can be no great exultation.
Men who seam to be familiar with the situation
say that the miners are determined this time to force
matters to a conclusion, resisting any attempt at
compromise, and, if they are unable to bring the op-
orators to their terms, to create a situation in which
It will bs necessary for the government to intervene.
Their idea IS said to be that if the government does
intervene, either they will win part of their demands
on a compromise decision, or the government will
take over the mines and operate them on it's own ac-
count. ~
Government operation is the end toward which
all the radical elements within which the miners
organization are striving With the large number
Of votes which they feel sure that they can control,
they are satisfied that they could depend on the re-
tenion OF a high wage scale. Whether that scale
shall be maintained by means of continued high
prices OF coal to the consumer or by direct taxation
10 make UP annual deficits they are indifferent.
The government has for a long time owed to
the people of the country a duty which it has not
performed That duty is the prompt and effective
is1ve:tigation Of the whole coal situation the re-
duetion Of the findings to the sinpleest terms, 50 that
they may be understood by persons Of ordinary in
telG9ence and the adoption OF a policy, backed by
the entire powef of the nation, which shall place the
industry on a rational basis, insuring to the country
s. ample and constant supply Of, fuel at prices into
still awaits performance. Thus far the government
HI only played with it.

SENATOR WATSON AGAIN.

Senator Watson, having made little Roadway
with his charges Of criminal conduct against practi-
cally the entire United States army organization,
springs again into the limelight with charges.
whether Of felony or m~lsdemeanor is not quite clear,
against Secretary Mellon. In a very definite man
ner he charges the secretary with in1pudence in re-
tanning his cabinet position after the Georgia sena-
tor had ruled him out, but if impudence were a ma.
jor crime Senator Watson would by this time have
a good many years in the penitentiary to his credit.
Mr.. Watson has discovered a federal statute
which says that a secretary OF the treasury shall not
engage, directly or indirectly, in commerce or bust
ness. Mr.. Mellon is known to be a man of great
eral corporations. Mr.. Watson holds that such
ownership involves the secretary in business, and
disqualihes him.
Mr.. Mellon, it appears was quite aware Of the
existence of this statute, and had legal advlce on the
was advised that there. was nothing in his status to
affect his eligibilityrand it is stated that since as.
sunning office he has hot devoted any of his personal
time to any business other than that OF the United
States government.
If the Interpretation which Mr.. Watson seeks
to place on that st~atute-strietly for political pur-
poses-were to be accepted, the only persons who
would be eligible for this, one OF the most important
positions in the government, would be thosc who
had either been unable to acquire any property
whatever prior to their appointment, or who, IN their
