would agree to pay the direct expense
of the primary—as it should.
Further relief would come, perhaps,
if. by la xv. candidates were restricted
in their expenditures to a certain pro
portion of the compensation attaching
to the office sought.
It ought not to be necessary for a
man to be able to spent! from $15,000
to $30,00u before he may aspire to the
governorship—either money of his own,
or money from some person or thing
interested in his election.
One dollar per vote cast is too high
a price for candidates to be called upon
to put up for political consideration—
and the presnt price, if the real truth
Is told, is pretty well over $1 per vote!
The question of politics is taken al
together too seriously by a lot of peo
ple. anyway.
In considering the question of pover
ty, Addison says:
"Laertes and Irus are neighbors,
xx hose xvays of living are an abom
ination to each other. Irus is moved
by fear of poverty, and Laertes by
shame of it. Though the motive of
action is of so near affinity, in both
and may he resolved to this, ’That
to each of them poverty is the
greatest of evils,’ yet their manners
are widely different. Shame of pov
erty makes Laertes launch Into un
necessary expense and lavish en
tertainments; fear of poverty
makes Irus allo" himself only plain
necessaries, appear xxithout a serv
ant, sell his own corn, attend his
labors and be himself a laborer.
Shame of poverty makes Laertes
go every day a stejj nearer to it,
and fear of poverty stirs up Irus to
make every day some further prog
ress from it."
obviously, it is not necessary’ tliat
a man be moved either by the fear or
tin- shame of poverty and no real phi
losopher is, perhaj.s.
Wiiy, then, should a .andidate with
a conscience be moved either by the
fear or the shame of defeat’.’
The man who fights for a principle
ii. conceives to benight and just may
rest assured, no matter how clear his
own mind may seem to be, that he will
have honorable, high-minded and sin
cere opponents.
If lie can get that idea into his head,
xvhy should lie be moved either by the
fear or the shame of defeat?
It is. perliaps, from out the imaginary
fear and shame of defeat that the
greater measure •>[ expense in political
campaigns arises.
And that. too. even though there may
be a form of justification for the for
mer. if never for the latter.

25 GENT 'DINDERINE’ FUR FALLING
HAIRANDDANDHUFF--GROWSHAIR
Don’t Pay 50 cents for worthless hair tonics—Use old,
reliable, harmless "Danderine”—Get results.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scuff.
There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of
its luster, its strength and its very life:
eventually producing a feverishness and
itching of the scalp, which" if not rem
edied causes the hair roots to shrink,
loosen and die—then the hair falls out
fast.
A little Danderine tonight—noxv—any
time—xvill surely save your hair.
