SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED
"I am more than gratified by the
successful results I obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that ota barber , I
, was particular a bout having my hair
In good condition , ami Was also in a
position , to try many lotions , etc , , for
the scalp. These had little or nft ef
fect I nad heard so much , about the
tfuticura Remedies that I resolved to
try them. I shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly , I
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset , and continued to keep up
this treatment To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cuticura Oint
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
I have now got a thick growth of hair
and I am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp. There
Is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me. I frequently
recommend them to my customers ,
and they think a great deal of them. "

Manager Gus Hartz was standing
near the opera house box office when
one of two panhandlers who had en

holding out an addressed and sealed

postage stamp.
"It's for me mudder , boss , " he sniv

"Never , " said the manager , deftly
grasping the envelope and throwing it
through the box office window. "Here ,

The velocity of the proceeding fair

THE NEW HAT
PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE
blRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS
SURE TO COME.
Republicans Vainly Oppose Public
Sentiment on This Question Ar
guments' in Its Favor Too
Strong to Be Disregarded.
Once more the national house of
representatives has passed the resolu
tion to elect United States senators
directly by the people ; this time with
a few scattering Republican votes in
the negative. This may * be regarded
as a true reflection of the present pub
lic sentiment on the question. In the
senate , with its increased members of
Democrats and Progressive Repub
licans , the prospect for the amend
ment is much more favorable than
ever before. The only immediate con
sideration is whether the opponents
of the amendment will obstruct its
passage in this special session. If
passed immediately many state legis
latures would hasten to ratify it and
the governors of other states might
summon extra sessions of the legisla
tures for the same purpose. Thus be
fore a new election for one-third of
the members of the United States sen
ate the choice may be transferred
from the state legislature directly to
the people.
The Lorimer scandal has doubtless
had considerable influence on the pub
lic mind in favor of this change , but
there are other and more substantial
reasons for it While this is the most
fi srant case of corruption in the re
cent legislative election of United
States senators the truth is that in
spite-of industrious magazine muckrakers -
rakers the Iniquity is by no means as
frequent as in a former period. It
would be easy to refer to the epoch of
"the Christian statesmen" when there
was little concealment concerning the
corrupt influences in their election to
the senate.
But the potential causes of the
movement soon to culminate in the
adoption of this amendment are in the
frequent deadlocks disturbing and de
laying needed legislation , and in the
wide disagreement of the people and
the legislature as to the choice of the
senator. Many a man now holding a
seat In the. senate through the favorit
ism of a party machine boss operating
upon the legislature , would never have
been selected hy the people. On the
other hand , many a man indicated hy
the public voice as in the highest de
gree worthy of the honor has been
capriciously rejected by the legisla
ture. For this reason the people have
resolved to take the choice of their
United States senators upon them
selves , and political experience affords
ample ground for the change. Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
The Right Kind of Work.
The Democratic leaders of the
house of representatives are formula
ting a program of sweeping economies
in the various departments of govern
ment. Riotous Republican extrava
gance has made abundant room for
such a policy , and the people will sus
tain and applaud any party which un
dertakes the task of instituting econo
my efficiently and on a large scale. It
is a more important work than hatch
ing new taxes and slaughtering protec
tive duties ; it will pay better , political
ly , too. Let a Democratic congress
make the old Tildenlc battle cry of re
trenchment and reform its paramount
policy , and the doors of the White
House will swing open in 1913 to admit
that party's chosen standard-bearer.
Democratic Outlook.
Committee chairmanships an
nounced by the Democrats in the
house of representatives are causing
satisfaction among conservative men
of all party groups. Such judicious
observers as Mr. Lawrence of Massa
chusetts are reported as approving the
selections on the ground that in the
main careful men have been chosen.
This seems to hold out the hope of
painstaking work in.the new congress.
EXPOSURE OF A FALLACY
Republican Journal Points Out the
Folly of Excessive "Protecr
tion" Policy.
A correspondent of the Tribune ia
pained by its assertion that the duties
on raw wool are too high. He says
and , being in the sheep industry , he
thinks he ought to know that with
out them the wool industry would per
ish and sheep become as Warce in
America as snakes in Ireland.
A wool grower , he says , "is obliged
to take care of two sheep for an entire -
tire year to get the wool needed for
one suit of clothes. For this wool the
sheepman receives $1.50 , and it has
cost him in the meantime on an aver
age $6.88 to take care of the two
sheep. "
The only conclusion one. can draw
from this is that the wool raiser is in
an extremely unprofitable business ,
which he had better get out of as soon
as possible. It would seem as if noth
ing but a disinterested love for sheep
could induce him to stay in it. It
would take a duty of incredible pro
portions to make his business a pay
ing one.
The condition of this wool grower ,
struggling along heroically under an
annual deficit of $5.38 , is not so bad
as the correspondent would have us
believe. The time when sheep were
raised almost exclusively for their
wool has gone by. They are raised
now chiefly because they bring forth
lambs and make mutton. The wool is
merely a byproduct. Americans have
learned to eat mutton , now that they
are getting it of better quality than of
old.

He is an argument for it. Neither he

Playing Real Politics.
The Canadian reciprocity hill gave
the Democrats of the house a great
chance to play politics which they
promptly took advantage of. It was a
measure submitted hy a Republican
president. They might have torn it
to pieces and amended it so that it
would have been rejected by Canada ,
all under the pretext of carrying out
revision downward.
Instead , under the leadership of
Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood ,
they have introduced the bill as it
came from President Taft and have
committed the party majority to its
support , because this was the suresz
way to a measure of tariff relief.
Playing real politics , are these
Democrats. For they are winning the
country's confidence.
"Progressives" in the Wrong.
The "Progressive" Republicans who
have been howling the loudest against
the Payne-Aldrich tariff and the high
cost of living are taking the lead
against Canadian reciprocity. Here
is a practical and immediate chance
to relieve the stress of high prices
somewhat , and the self-constituted
champions of the people are trying-
to throttle it. Why ? Because it in
terferes with the special privileges of
some of their constituents. With all
their agitation against "special privi
leges , " the miscalled "Progressives"
are quickest to line up in their favor-
