The report omftted reasons why the league was for end why It was against certain men. Thiakag men must hare reasons other than the mere say so of any be oft-men, as to the character and qnUOcatlons of candidates. The refusal of the league to give these rea sons is unfair. Wide publicity of the fl virion led to their action is nec essary. It th Civic league has any reason fa being, it is in letting -Che people know the truth and then letting the people decide for themselves. That is the only way In which they can serve the people. No man will take the assection of one man against the other, unless he displays good argument to support his statements. Although the Civio league has de-1

teated its own object whatever that voter could not distinguish the differtnay have been, it Is as well to point ence between county local option and

out now, that if the members ot the league do not come forward with the proofs of what they say, they will be liable to various charges of unfairness, partiality and bad Judgment. No one can on the face of things, aoubt tnat the motives of the league were anything but the highest . and best but if Its members ever have any hope of being an Influence in this community they must change their uieiuoas. iney am uoi give tne canaiaates or the voters a square deal, and failing m max, mey nave placed themselves in a very' laughable position.

oiacKiisung 01 a man is worm more to him politically than the endorsement! If these men had not sufficient evidence, what right had they to express an opinion one way or another? If these men had sufficient evidence their reasoning from their promises violated every principle of logic. And by keeping that evidence back from the people they have not only destroy ed the usefulness of their activities, but have been unfair to openly con demn a man without giving the rea sons, Not only is it unfair to the candi date, but to his family and such high handed treatment will not do the Civic nor object any good in this community, where a semblance of jus tice is at least desired CENSORSHIP OF READING. Mr. Foulke's speech before the librarians of the state at the MorrissonReeves library on the disadvantages of libraries, many have seemed untactful. At the same time it is more advantageous for the people in any occupation to hear the things "as oth ers see them." His contention that discretion should be used In the distribution of books to the general public, and that the public should not necessarily have what it wants to read were well taken. But, nevertheless, in actual practice in library of any size It would be next to Impossible to know the individuals who compose the public well enough to guage the effect of any book on that public. Not only that but books work in var ious ways, as the proverbial "meat for one Is poison for another." For in stance the books of outdoor life and treatises on the beauties of camping written by Stewart Edward White are regarded as beeing the most healthy of literature and are recommended by the chief librarians and critics in the country as being suitable for the youth of the land. Right here in Richmond two years ago a young fellow after reading these books, got such a love for the forest lif-; that he forged a check and skipped to Canada with the money. He was brought back by Superintendent Bailey and is still be hind the bars. No one could have foretold that. It simply proves that no one can pick out books for any one else. In a country which believes more than any other in free speech is it not easy to see why the American people believe in "free reading?" As a matter of fact the Increase of the "yellow press" really indicates that there has been a growth in the reading public. The matter works out In the end that there is less harm in libraries which do not makee "forbidden fruit" of things. This country has recently witnessed the circulation of thousands of copies of a book simply because it was con demned. In the end the censorship ot almost anything does not attain the end in view and merely increases the evil. The Index of the Roman Church had the contrary effect from what was intended and la the main people will read what they want to dispite the vigilance of librarians or Antony Cornstock. A CHANGE. No one can have failed to have seen the decided symptoms of a change In the complexion of state politics in the last week or ten days. Formerly we had the meek and mild, innocence much. Injured Taggart, and the equally innocuos Lieber and Fairbanks. But this was too unusual to last. Finding that the effect of the game was in their favor, they were not content to let well enough alone. They assumed the mediaeval rold of fuedal barons. They did a little dictating and went to work to organize and rub it Into those who have for law and against graft Whatever the combine has gained by 111086 who felt 801116 sympathy for tQe numble and meek combine it is ProbaDle rm the way the straws are EinS that the people will resent the a1011 ot Crawford Fairbanks, Albert Lieber and T. Taggart to force their opinions, were they misled by the posters which Insinuated that the intelligent prohibition. The fight against these men has not bee" on the question of drink, but against the corruption and graft which the bad element in the saloon business has made prevalent in many commun itles. The average man who 4akes a drink does not care to tie up with men of this character even If they do use the bait of the artificial flay of deceit about county local option meaning prohibition. The change came when the brewers unmasked and showed their game and it has come to stay. TH E . Y M- C." A. AND BILLIARDS ine controversy now going the rounds rez&rrtlne the Question of oonl

Great Political Rivalry Among Earlham Students

"Republican headquarters." "Democratic headquarters." Two placards bearing respectively the above inscriptions frown aggressively at each other from neighboring windows in the young men's dormitory, Earlham College. The keenest interest In politics is being taken by the students and the majority of the young men are ardent Taft supporters. The Democratic club at the college numbers thirty-five voters. All the other "first voters" in the college, some hundred or more, are affiliated with the Republican club. The headquarters of the two clubs are only separated by a thin partition. and billiards In the new Y. M. C. A. building and as to whether or not minors shall be allowed to play the games there, smacks too much or narrow mindedness to appeal to the many broad minded people of this community. What the objections are to pool and billiards is hard to understand. Why object to these two games and not to chess and checkers? Why allow any games at all in the Y, M. C. A., instead of singling out these two? And why, if these games are proper for a Y. M. C. A., as many claim, should not minors be permitted to play them? Surely, if there is no harm in grown-ups playing pool and billiards under tho proper surroundings afforded by a Y. M. C. A., then the matter of age alone should not make it wrong for minors to play these games under the same conditions. Frankly, we are so much in the dark regarding the logical conclusions of those who are opposed to pool and bil liards at an m the Y. M. C. A. and of those who believe that adults should be allowed to play such games there, but not minors, that we would appreciate communications setting forth the reasons for so believing. Their Business In Life. Does a young wife know her power: Does a young husband remember that he represents everything to her and that her eyes ever turn toward him? And do both realize that in choosing each other they have voluntarily shut out forever any chance of happiness from any other quarter? They must not let things slide; they must make each other happy. It is the business of their life. The responsibility of it Is enormous, the privileges of it incalculable. A Useful Kitchen Apron. An apron of white, marble oilcloth worn while washing clothes r dishes saves the wear of dresses a great deal The water cannot get through, and it does not need any scrubbing. Just a quick wipe with a cloth, and It clean and ready for the next time It Is required. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A half hour well spent upon the corn plexlon at night is worth two in tb morning. A good cure for brittle nails Is t soak them dally in sweet oil warmer to blood heat A tableepoonful of olive oil takeu each day will aid the digestion and ease liver troable. The hair should be brushed thoroughly for about fifteen minutes every night before retiring. Honey is very nutritious and should be on the bill of fare of every person who wants to gain flesh. Witch hazel is excellent for the eyes, but one should be sure the liquid is absolutely pure before using. Cold water closes the pores of the skin and makes it firm. A little vinegar or cologne added to the water also assists L hardening. If yeu have dark hair and It seems to be coming out. cut off a slice of lemon and rub It Into your scalp. It win atop that trouble promptly.

Stephen Kossga to Marcianna Rossg. consideration (I, love and affection, property 422 West Superior street. Behind the foregoing real estat transfer, printed in a Chicago newspaper, is a fine story of frugality. Before he died Stephen Itosyga deed ed the flat building which be owntl to his wife. The children, who are of the right sort. Indorsed vr. father transfer. One of them said: "Mother worked hard to help father earn the property, to raise the children and send us to school, and she de serves it as long' as she lives." This is the story: Twenty-five years ago Rossga and wife came to Chicago from the old country. They wanted to bring ur their children teu were born to them and earn a home in a free land. Itossga began working on a railroad at $1.75 per day, but did not get steady work. Never in his life did the man make over $75 per month. But the couple saved money. Inside of five years time they bought a lot which cost $1,100, making a payment down. In another five years they had paid for the lot and were able to start the building. It required thirteen years to pay for the flat, a three story brick building, with six suits of four rooms each, costing $7,000. But when the building was completed the thrifty people had a home of their own, and the rentals brought in an income enabling there to pay out And that was fortunate, for shortly after the Rossgas moved into their property the husband was badly injured in the leg and was unable to work until he died. A commonplace story "of sordid details? ' It Is not commonplace, because It Is made beautiful by courage and faithfulness and sacrifice. Mind you, every foundation stone, every stick of timber, every brick, every hod of mortar, stands for the frugal living and the weary toll and devotion of these struggling foreigners Why retell the homely tale? Because this generation needs 'the lesson. Most Americans with a family of ten children and the wages of a day laborer would scoff at the prospect of owning a $10,000 building, even at the end of twenty-five years. But it can be, has been,, done. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

A married man who permits any member of the family to take anything except Foley's Honey and Tar, Tor coughs, colds and lung trouble, is guilty of neglect. Nothing else is as good for all pulmonary troubles. The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar contains r.a opiates and is in a yellow package. A. G. Luken & Co.

Bad Breath and af"a m m

bour Momacn Stopped At Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas Absorber Known. There is no necessity to suffer the humiliation, chargln and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach, gastritis, sluggish liver, etc. when a little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the' stomach and make it pure and sweet. Do not drug yourself when a simple little natural charcoal made from fragrant willow branches, sweetened with honey, mill add tone to your stomach, ltver and Intestines, rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds. Charcoal will absorb one hundred times Its own volume In gas. A box full cf charcoal placed in a bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet. A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal is Justly called the scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medieval times cured bad cases of stomach trouble, cast out devils from the system of mau by feeding such a man charcoal. Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of It cannot harm one. The system craves It 1llSt liVa an animal maao anit craves salt every so often. Charcoal goes into the stomach gently and Is welcome, it settles down through tho action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas. aiding digestion and giving tone to the Juices, so that when the food goes into the intestines, and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood. made from pure willow. They aro prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved. They have an enormous sale, thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them, 25 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box; then aner your next meal take two or three of them and Judge for yourself of their merit Several taken at bed time will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night, for your bad breath will not be so bad after all.
