Dubuque Telegraph-Herald:—"A
Des Moines paper hearing that a Polk
county woman is trying to obtain a
divorce on the ground that her hus
band has tuberculosis, comments:
"Oh, the unfathomability of certain
types of conjugal love!"
Very likely if the husband were a
victim of alcoholism there would be
no auch comment* and it would be re
marked that she did well to seek to
be rid of him.
The difference is all in the point of
view—tuberculosis is accepted to be
a disease by the laity, while alcohol
ism is not.
And while everybody holds it to be
the duty of a wife who has taken a
husband "for better or for worse" to
attend him in his sickness, by no
means everybody considers this to be
her duty in the case of the drinking
man.
And yet, as everybody knows, the
unfortunate who drinks, abandoned
of his wife with nothing to live for,
has no rudder in a wind-swept sea.
and goes on the rocks, whereas if his
wife clung to him one day her faith
and prayers and his strivings would
redeem him and the happiness which
should follow would be compensation
for the years of grief.
The world lends eager ear to the
sweet story of love's unselfishness,
but too frequently in approaching so
lution of commonest problems selfish
ness stifles love and there is refusal
to make sacrifice.
THE PEOPLE OUGHT TO RULE.
Exchange:—John M. Harlan, late
justice of the United States supreme
court, who was a deep student of po
litical economy, at a gathering short
ly before his death made this terse
remark
"There is but one profound wisdom
upon earth and that is lodged in the
consensus of opinion of the whole
people when expressed by free and
secret ballot, and when 'applied to the
conduct of public affairs it is wiser
than the judgment of any man or set
of men, however learned or experi-
eni^-'U
The great jurist was an ardent ex
ponent of the right of "the rule of
the people" and he was a firm be
liever that the way to create a really
democratic form of government was
by the ballot.
More and more is this method be
ing looked upon as the only right and
permanent way in which to solve
questions of any public moment. Not
only are state questions or those of
wide import being solved by the voice
of the voter, but counties and munic
ipalities are leaving matters of minor
importance to the voice of the people
as expressed in the voting booth. As
an evidence of this trend of public
feeling it might be noted that in sev
eral small towns in Iowa just recent
ly the question as to whether billiard
and pool halls should operate was
left to the people and they expressed
their choice by ballot. When ques
tions of moral import like this arise
in any town the best way is to let
public sentiment rule. In this way
and in this way only can any stat
utes, ordinance or mandate be en
forced.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE AS AN ISSUE
Exchange:—Woman suffrage owes
its defeat to the Anti-Saloon League,
which made of it a '"wet" and "dry"
issue and thus alienated from it the
sympathy of the liberal forces of the
various states, which stands sternly
opposed to prohibition, no matter
what guise it may masquerade in.
In Wisconsin the opposition ap
pears to have been due to a combina
tion of racial, religious and other
prejudices.
Michigan, by the way, appears to
have defeated woman suffrage, but
an analysis of the vote shows that
nearly all the dry counties voted
against it, while most of the wet
counties voted in favor of it. Inci
dentally we may say that the large
vote cast by the women of Colorado
against prohibition and by the women
of San Francisco and Los Angeles in
favor of the continuance of the li
cense policy indicates that the women
can be trusted to use good judgment
on such issues, when they are dis
cussed fairly upon their merits.
Chicago Inter-Ocean:—The domi
nant trait of the typical present day
reformer is his sublime confidence in
what may be called "mass effects" in
organization, agitation and legisla
tion which assumes that great num
bers of people may be rounded up,
as it were, and led or, driven along
the way wherein they should walk.
How much better this world would
be—how the averages of decency
would be increased and the planes of
social motion uplifted—if every man
who saw somewhere among his
neighbors an evil that demanded
reformation would, before denouncing
it and them, make entirely sure that
he had urged that evil- completely
from his own heart and conduct.
There is only one place where the
reform of the various social evils
with which we are so much rightly
concerned can really begin. That ij
at home in the most intimate sense
of the word. That is in the individual
human heart and soul and in individ
ual conduct.

REV. WASSON ON
PUBLIC SENTIMENT
A Law to Be Enforced Must Hive
Substantial Backing.
THE ODDS AGAINST SOME LAWS
Rev. W. A. Wasson in Pearson's
Magazine:—"Law enforcement is, in
the long run, dependant on public
sentiment. Moreover, public senti
ment, in order to make itself felt,
must be active, alert and persistent.
A mere vague wish that the law be
enforced is not enough. The wish^
must be followed up by well organ-*
ized effort. When you find a com
munity in which the government is
ing-ridden and corrupt, it does not
mean that the public sentiment is in
favor of such conditions. It means
that public sentiment is impotent be
cause it is either inactive or unorgan
ized. Thfis it occurs that small mi
norities can defy, are today defying
the will of the majorities.
"Just how much of this active and
determined public sentiment is re
quired to insure strict law enforce
ment depends largely on the charac
ter of the law. A stringent, harsh,
sumptuary law, like prohibition, could
not be enforced unless it had on its
side an almost unanimous public sen
timent, vigilant and well organized.
Such a law has all the odds against it.
It has an uphill job from the outset.
Public officials are, as a rule, far
more inclined to heed and yield to
the voice of protest against the en
forcement of a law in obedience to
the demand of the other side. Under
state-wide prohibition there are many
communities where the majority sen
timent is strongly opposed to enforce
ment, and even advocates of prohibi
tory laws admit that, in such com
munities, the law becomes a mere
farce."
Cedar Rapids Republican:—Now
that the debate is over, it might a3
well be stated again that it has not
been true that at Iowa City students
have been frequenting saloons. The
university has had its own regula
tions and any student who was found
tfrSljienting saloons has been asked
to leave the university. But so high
has been the standard among the
students that the cases of saloon fre
quenting have been very rare.
Keota Eagle:—A proposition was
made to the Keota Brotherhood to
clean out the liquor joints in Keota.
It fell with a dull thud.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION.
Mothers Testify to Merits of XXth
Century Hair Preparations.
Nelson, Mo., April 13, 1913.
Dear Madam Dabney: I am writ
ing you for a small order. I want
you to please send by mail three bot
tles of shampoo, three boxes of hair
grower and two boxes of pressing
oil. I like the remedy just fine. I
would not be without it for anything.
I am using it on my little girl's hair
it seems to be helping it greatly.
Mrs. Anna Bruner.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913.
Dear Madam Dabney: I am a
mother of four girls. In trying to
improve their hair I had tried several
preparations, but none gave me good
results until I used Madam Dabney's
XXth Century Preparations. Their
hair was thin, harsh and would fall
out so that I dreaded to use a comb.
Now their hair is growing nicely—
does not fall out—has no dandruff—
is soft and pretty. Three of these
girls are attending Wendell Phillips
School, Howard and Vine streets. In
vestigation will bear out my testi
mony. I would not be without the
XXth Century Preparation in my
house.
Mrs. Dora Hawkins,
2455 Woodland.
A six weeks' treatment of Madam
P. M. Dabney's XXth Century Hair
Preparations sent on receipt of P. O.

Biliousness and Constipation.
For years I was troubled with bil
iousness and constipation, which
made life miserable for me. My ap
petite failed me. I lost my usual
force and vitality. Pepsin prepara
tions and cathartics only made mat
ters worse. I do not know where I
should have been today had I not
tried Chamberlain's Tablets. The
tablets relieve the ill feeling at once,
strngthen the digestive functions,
purify the stomach, liver and blood,
helping the system to do its work nat

We want to say a few things, 'or
rather ask the question why the en
rollment is not larger at the Bartlett
high school?
The Bystander's correspondent has
no ill feeling against any member 6f
the school board or teachers, but the
above question should be seriously
considered by every Afro-American
of this city, with a population of be
tween 8,000 and 10,000 people, and
not more than 100 pupils in the high
school and only twelve graduates this
year. There must be. something
wrong some place, and since we have
compulsory education laws in this
state, the question is more complex. 1
Are the parents, the. curriculum or
teachers responsible for the small en
rollment? We will, not express our
opinion, but let our dear readers do
that. One thing is sure, the enroll
ment should be increased and parents^
should make an investigation and see
if a remedy cannot be obtained.
