THE COURT HOUSE STEAL.
Recently when the House of
Representatives voted an addition
al $75,000,000 for pensioning
about all who sympathised with
the north during the great war,
tht rtmara were full of com
ments on the 4 Tension Steal,"
"Back Grab," etc , yet Congress
claims the right to do saoh a
thing if the members thereof were
so inclined, regardless of the
wishes of the people. The peo
ple, through the press, howeTer,
were not long in letting it be
known that, notwithstanding the
so-called rights of Congress to en-
aot such a measure, they were
most emphatically opposed to
what was openly and very-aptly
called a "steal." ust as in the
present new court house propo
sition, the people consider that
their lights are being infringed
upon, money is to be taken out ot
their pockets and. spent for a
eause that they object to and, no
matter how little the amount taken
from an individual, eaobrfeel just
like a man does when a pick
pocket has taken his purse or
watoh. His permission is . not
asked, he is ;not allowed to say
what amount shall be taken and
he has no voice in sajing how his
money is to be used. When such
legislation can be forced upon a
protesting community there is
certainly little of value left in
our so-called self-governing
rights, and the official has gotten
as far. from the tenents of true
Democracy as the east is from the
west. Congress either saw the
justice in the peoples' protests or
feared their wrath, and has, for
the time at least, dropped the
intended steal, but our great
county commissioners, clothed,
not in an official trust for the
people, like congress and other
legislative bodies, but in a
"divine right" to rule as pleases
them, do not intend to give heed
to the almost unanimous voice of
our people to either tlx up the
present building in an appropri
ate manner, or if a new bnilding
is to be considered, submit the
matter to a vote of the people at
the coming election. If congress
oan listen to the wish of the peo
ple it seems passing strange, that
our Big, $2500 per year, county
oomminioners cannot condescend
to also give heed to the burden
bearers' right . But they will
not, and it therefore necessary
1 or the people first, in order to
preserve their rights and second
ly, to blook what may also may
be termed "The OourT House
Steal," to take up the matter in a
systematic manner, by proper
and effeotual methods, and de
mand the right to be heard or
have the law giving the commis
sioners suoh arbitrary powers re
pealed This will necessitate
taking the matter into court to
secure an injunction restraihg the
commissioners until the legisla
ture meets, and' in the mean
time sleot men to the legislature
who will see that omr rights are
restored by the repeal of the
iniauituous law. This action
should be : taken without delay
ind itshonld be settled thorough
ly, once for all.

A WOMAN'S CKOD jLOOKS
Depend oh her general health and freedom from pain. - Many a woman looks old
before her time because of those irregularities wnioh are essentially feminine.
Starting from early womanhood, she suffers from frequently recurring derangements
that upset her womanly .health. If she be beautiful she grows into that mellow
age without wrinkles and crowfeet about the eyes or the blue circle underneath.
It is invariably the rule that such women, suffer little, or not at all, from womanly
derangements which sap the health and leave in the face the tell-tale story of pain
and suffering. Dr.R.V. Pierce,the famous specialist in the diseases of women, found
a prescription in his early practice that soothed the organism, peculiar to woman
. hood oiled the machinery, as it were, of the humarr system and helped the woman
to past those painful periods that scar-lined and, aged her face. This remedy became
