Minnesota Man Sizes Up the Repub

After Return from a Tour.
NEW YORK. April S. (Special Tele
gram ("Senator La Kollette Is a candidate
for president. He -an 111 s.-ek the nomination
Over President Taft In the republican na
tlhnal convention next year and will have
many delegates from the northwestern
states."
This was ssld by J. Adam Ned, once
republican representative from Minnesota,
who has Just finished a tour of the region
mentioned,'
"Mind you, I am not a I .a Follette man,"
added Mr. Rede, "but you can discern In
states like Minnesota, Wisconsin and
farther to the west a sentiment for the
La Follette view of things, and It is gen
erally conceded throughout the Gopher
and Badger dominions that I -a Follette is
going to make an open and stubborn fight
not only to get the nomination for him
self, but to embarrass the Taft adminis
tration. "First of all. La Follette expects to elect
the delegates-at-large from liis own state.
I don't crmccde It from my observatlona,
bill the La Follette people claim it. He
lose some of the districts of Wis
consin, and he will not get the delegates-at-large
from Minnesota. They will be
chosen by the friends of the national ad
ministration, and be Instructed to stand
by Taft. Kven so, the so-cailed progres
sives under tha La Follette flag are figur
ing on carrying four of the Minnesota dis
tricts, and there wtll be some real scrap
ping when the names of the I-a Follette
candidates for delegates In the several dis
tricts are made known, it seems La Fol
lette Is against reciprocity, probably be
cause Taft Is for it. If he should actually
favor reciprocity, the charge would be
made that lJk Follette had gone over to the
administration, and that would be awful."
Passing of Some of

NEW YORK, April 2.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) With the passing of the old Gil
sey house, whose doors closed today, and
the announcement that the Hoffman
house Is to turn its guests out next Mon
day, the members of the "old hotel guard"
shook their heads gloomily today.
One must either go to a 'society' hotel
now or to a commercial house," said one
of them.
"There are no more real (sporting or
political lobbies. The closing of the Fifth
Avenue hotel marked the beginning of
their demise."
Old habitues of the Hoffman house said
that tha fate of such hostelries was set
tled, however, several years aa-o before
the Fifth Avenue hotel closed Its doors
and routed out the occupants of the fa
mous "Amen corner." They say It started
about seven years ago when the big up-'
town hotels began springing up like" mush
rooms over night
Among th. old regulars who are still
guests of ihs Hoffman house and who
will remain until tha doors cloae Monday
are General Julius It, Stahl, Colonel Cody
(Buffalo Bill), Lenor F. Loree, Mark A.
Mayer and Anthony X. Brady. . ..;
In the old days millions of dollars used
to be passed over the bars to Charlie
Mahoney to hold for election and other
wagers.- Ths hotel was then patronized
by such famous old-timers as Charles
Heed, who paid $100,000 for ths Derby
wlnnar, St. Blaise; Billy Deitch, who once
broke tha bank, at Monte Carlo; Harry
A. Peroy, C. K. Q. Billings, the trotting

SESSION ENDS IN WEEK
Nebraska Legislature Today Enters
on Final Work. ,
MESSAGE ON , SUNDAY BALL
Governor Will Probahlr Make
Heront menda ttona that Mar
Reanlt la Compromise on
the Mratsrt.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Neb..' April 2 -(Spei ial.)
Wlthln a week the thirty-second Nebraska
legislature will have concluded Its labors
and retired o home and constituents. One
member. Moody of Logan county, hss al
ready departed for good and everybody Is
getting restless. Tbe date set for final
adjournment Is Aprfl , Thursday, but the
actual work will probably not be concluded
until Saturday, and the stopped clock will
bo necessary to live up to the letter of the
joint agreement. As fsr as the sennte Is
concerned the members wiiuid be willing
to cease their labors tomorrow, but the
house has many multifarious plans and
projects still unfinished and has patience
to stay a few days more.
The question of paramount interest Mon
day will probably br the governor's mes
sage on Sunday base ball, which he Is ex
pected to veto. A fcompronrlse may be af
fected, however, as the governor Is not op
posed to Sunday playing In league towns.
When that question, Is disposed of there
will be the non-partisan board of control
to finish up, and the question of university
removal will be up to the senate for final
disposition.
Tha house has Indefinitely postponed all
of Its own bills which had not already
reached a place on the sifting file, and the
senate has done the tame, so that each
house has only the bills which have al
ready been through the other to consider.
Year Book Is Oat.
The legislative year book, the catalogue
of members and officials of both houses,
which usually makes -an appearance at
about this time during the session, Is out
and the lawmakers are eagerly scanning
their copies to get a glance at their pic
tures and read tha carefully chosen words
n which they modestly set forth their own
virtues. Each man wrote his own biog
raphy, a fact which some of them might
be unwilling to admit. One attache was
o exceedingly humorous at his own ex
pense that the editor of the book, A. B
Harvey, put a foot note on the bottom
of the story to protect himself from the
man's friends.
ALDRICH GIVES HIS REASONS
Special Message to Legislature Telia
Why He Vetoed Bill Length
ening" Terms,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April L-JSpeciaL) Following
Is the text of the governor's messagecon
cernlng the controversy about tha South
Omaha sohool board: v
I withhold my offUial signature and ap
proval of aenate file No. 1KJ because It has
the following Objectljojiatml matter In lis
provisions. There is no necessity shown
for amending sectfcim .417 of Cobbey's
Annotated Statutes of Nebraska for the
year HM), and to repeal said original sec
tion as It now stands.
Second. The provisions and the object
and purpose of aald senate file Is simply
to meet an alleged condition In the olty
of South Omaha alone, and that condition
is purely local and' .does nut-need -the en
actment of a law jo meet 4t. 1, have made
careful investigation have Iieard both
sides to tills controversy, which, in short,
is simply, this: The terms of office of
certain members of the school board In
South Omaha terminate this spring. The
friends of the retiring officers have con
ceived the idea that It would be easier
and more certain tq; kef p them -In office
if they could enact a law; permitting them
to hold over until another general election.
The opponents of these officials are de
manding the election. In. other words,
there is an old-fashioned school row on
hands in- South Omaha, hot altogether dif
ferent than the pleasantries that occur In
country school precincts of this state, and
it seems to me that the proper way to
settle this kind of a controversy Is In the
good old-fashioned 'may of having an
honest election and letting the honest ma
jority rule.
One or two cities In this state have gotten
Into the fashion, every two years, of flood
ing the legislature with all sorts of blllB
to settle neighborhood quarrels. This Is a
bad policy and there Is no reason for It.
4 am unable to determine the merits of
this controversy and think It manifestly
unfair to have It arbitrarily settled by
statute when I cannot tell whether the
majority want the statute enacted or not.
There Is a further objection to this pro
cedure, in that It usurps the province and
mission of an election, because it arbi
trarily enacts a law permitting part of the
people to be heard. The only way to de
termine what Is the proper thing to do
in this esse la to let the people of South
Omaha, In a square, and fair election de
termine whom they want for members of
the school board. I do not think that the
legislature and the governor of Nebraska
should be called upon at any tlms to de
termine a controversy of thla kind, for
from the nature of a legislative enactment,
all of the people In a peculiarly local mat
ter cannot be heard. The leadera of the
two factlona are the ones mostly in evi
dence, snd whether these leaders represent
the masses of the voters It Is Impossible
to tell In any other way than by an elec
tion. And for theae reasans and others which
I might name. I veto senate file No. 167.

regular and thoroughly like a good sol
dier's. And her story of ths facts that Justify
her in her claim upon the country for a
pension Is exceedingly romantic, reads like
an exceptionally stirring novel of the mar
tial' sort. a.
In the first place, she Was, according to
the narrative, a spy In the union's behalf
and went Into the camp of the confeder
ates to gain valuable Information often
times. A deep scar over her left eye, how
ever, was made -by a bullet during one of
th numerous . skirmishes In which she
fquehfc as, a. soldier, on the . field of battle.
8 b 9 r -saw--not , ,J.ltJ.!e;. of the ; fleroost and
most, awful aide, of war. while she win on
the firing line- throughout the many fights
around Vlck8burg. f . -
Mars was not, the only deity that shaped
her fate during the civil war time. Cupid,
the ubiquitous and fearless also bad a
share In the disposal of her destiny since
it was while the war raged and aa a soldier
that she fell In love with one John Slbler,
whom she married ere the war was end&I.
After the death of Slbler she became the
wife of an old soldier, Leander Bliss. Bliss
died, too, and left her, as she says, a rich
estate.
Of this estate, she says, ' sbe was de
frauded by a cattleman of wealth, and so
she found herself compelled, being now
poor and old, to ask ths country for a pen
sion. It was not till she had no mure
property or money that she came to claim
the help of the United States In return for
help she freely . gave when th United
States needed help.
The . (act that this soldier wasn't a man.
but a woman In man's clothing, seems to
have nothing to do with the case unless
she deserves a larger pension than a man
would be entitled to. She was by her
womanhood exempted from the military
duty, and yet chose to serve the country
of her freest will.
Anyway, this case of Mrs. Louise Bliss,
woman and patriotlo soldier, once again
proves strikingly the terse old saying
which is backed up by such proof from
time to time, perhaps, because It needs the
proof to keep from seeming a mere clever,
unconvincing paradox:

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the d'scovery of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately, are looked upon
as the heralds of advancing age.
Gray hairs, however, are not always
an indication of. advancing age, for
many (people have gray, hairs quite
early In life. Of course, It Is un
natural and Indicates that there Is
omethlng wrong with the Individual
and that Nature needs assistance In
correcting the trouble. The same Is
true of hair that Is constantly falling
out and becoming thinner every day.
If everything is right 'with Nature,
the hair, even In comparatively elder
ly people, should be long, thick and
glossy, without even a streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in
restoring and preserving the balr Is
