A FAIR WAGE FOR A LAWYE

A FAIR WAGE FOR A LAWYER
| The Missouri-Kansas and Texas
railroad recently went through the
hands of receiver The reorganiZa-
ton expenses amounted to S2,364, ,249
of which $75O,OO0 went in lawyers
fees. The interstate commerce COM
mission wanted to know why lawyers
charged such outrageous fees
Thereupon the spokesmen, business
agents and walking delegates of the
| lawyers union raised their voices and
assured the gentlemen of the |. c. G.
that $4,000 day was a very modest
fee for good lawyer.
Well, perhaps it is, but it was only
few short years ago that the shop
employees of the M. K. & L. railroad
struck for something like $500 day
and it was then this very same crowd
of five hundred dollars day he-men
who raised the terrible cry about the
exhortation of the shop workers!
In our humble opinion, it takes just
as much brain and study to repair a
railroad engine as it does to rob a.
bankrupt railroad, which, in all like
lihood, was bankrupted by another
set of corporation lawyers. More
over, it is quite conceivable that rail-
roads could be operated without di-
vine intervention of the disciples of
but how they could be run
without the elbow grease and gray
natter of blacksmiths and boiler max
.rs, remains to be discovered yet.
By the way, isn't it about time

TAKE CARE OF YOUR UNION

TAKE CARE OF YOUR UNION
You had better take care of me.
Perhaps you don't think much of
me at times, but if you were to wake
up some morning and realize you did
not have me you would start that day
with uneasy feeling.
From me you get food, clothing and
shelter and such luxuries as you en-
joy.
But am exacting; | am jealous
mistress. Sometimes you appear
hardly to appreciate me at all. In
fact, YOU make sighting remarks
about me at times and neglect me.
Considering the fact that you need
me not only for yourself, but for your
wife and children as well, | wonder,
sometimes, that you neglect me as
you do.
What if | should get away from
you? Your happiness would flee for
time at least, and your friends
would wonder what sort of a fellow
you were; and your wife would
worry, and your bank account dwin-
die.
So, after all, Pm pretty important
to you.
Pm your union.
Cherish me. Take care of me, and
III take good care of you.

HUMOROUS

Erecting a $4,000 building on the
city lot adjoining our city hall would
be like hanging a brand new balloon
tire on a worn-out Ford. 1t would
be like throwing $4,000 away, for it
is cinch the people of Hamilton are

the campaign of 1896 has never re-
ceived much attention.
In the state at large the total In
crease in vote averaged about 25 per
cent. The Republicans increased
their vote about 20 per cent and the
opposition increased their about 80
per cent, except in the Seventh dis
trict, where the Republicans increased
ton about rs per cent.
In every congressional district, ex,
cept the Seventh where they gained
four members, the Republicans lost
representatives in the Legislature.
In the First district the Republican
candidate for Congress ran All votes
behind President Mckinley; in the
Second, 500; in the Third, 693; in the
Fourth, 205; in the Fifth, 2,784; in the
Sixth, 1857; but in the Seventh the
Republican candidate ran 1,274 ahead
| of the Presidential candidate.
The only two congressional districts
| in the United States where the Re-
publican candidate for Congress rar
ahead Of the Presidential candidate
| were the Fourth district of Califor
mia, where he led by So, and this Sew

graded, gravel-surfaced road on
which it was a pleasure to drive. Two
days of rain and the usual weekend
motor traffic put it in miserable con-
dition. The following week the

still has the dashboard effect.

, There is no question but what the
only practical and economical policy
to follow is to hard-surface it.. The
majority of motorists who drive on
that road frequently would be per-
fectly willing to pay special tax
levy to cover the cost of the hard
surfacing; at the end of the season
it would mean saving for them.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store fer bottle of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, i'm"
proved by the addition of other ingres
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
By morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy,
