Here Are The Facts.

With crocodile tears of regret, the
Herald has brought the judicial cam
paign into the whirlpool of politics
and this week publishes what it claims
to be list of the cases decided by the
supreme conrt which were appealed
from the decisions of both Judge Irwin
and Judge Hodgdon
The Herald, with it's usual disregard
for the truth, says it publishes for the
benefit OF the voters of Chehalis and
Mason counties.
Ii that sheet had published the record
there would be no necessity for cor
rection but, in its zeal to catch the
votes of the unwary, it forgot the fact
that the article was branded "record'
and proceeded to devote two columns
and a half of its valuable space to the
garbling OF facts, which for Juggling
with figures and trampling the truth
in the mud would put to shame the
most reckless popocratic stump orator.
Giving the Herald credit for attempt
ing to make stab at the truth, it will
appear that there are eleven cases re-
ported in the state supreme court re-
ports which were appealed from Judge
Twins decisions and every one oil
them affirmed which were left out oil
the list published by the Herald.
These cases are as follows:
State vs. Lybarger 2 Wash $50
Affirmed.
Rathbun VS. Thurston County,
Wash. 564, Affirmed.
Frost VS. Ainsley Lumber Co. Z Wash
241, Affirmed.
/ Chehalis Flume Co. VS. Reinhart
Wash. 42S, Affirmed.
Bethel VS. Robinson, Wash. 446
Affirmed.
Box VS. Kelso, 5 Wash. 800, Affirmed

Long vs. Billings, Wash. 267, AT
firmed.
Add these cases to the partial list
given by the Herald and there appears
a total of 81 of Judge Twins cases ap-
pealed. Seven of the appeals were dis
missed leaving just 80 cases which
were disposed of on their merits by the
supreme court. 50 were reversed which

McGraw administration everything
was running on the expensive plan

legislature pruned off unnecessaries,
aud, although the systems are still
more expensive 10 some respects than
necessary, there is no reason why the
Rogers administration, if honestly
conducted, should not have saved a

IT has developed after the past three
elections in this State that many of
the yarns used by the democrats as
campaign material, were false. aud in
the case. Of the Seattle Times, this
word is altogether too mild to char
acterize its tissue of lies. It's course is
the same this year, and some people
may be beguiled into voting as this
rank old "reformer" directs, unless
they happen to reflect on the cam
.paign yarns of the last two state cleo
tons. The average democrat in poll
tics seems not to believe in "here-
after he promises everything and
says anything, for votes, and has a

In IT'S dying effort, The last resort,
the Seattle Times, with its usual men
dacity, is endeavoring to mislead its
readers into the belief that it is
McGraw instead of Frink running for
Governor. As Mr.. Frink is substan-
tial business man with means and a
will OF his own, and reputation for
honesty aud fairness, that should be
above comment from Blethen repu-
tation. There appears to be but
$25,717.61 difference in the cost of
maintaining the five state institutions
under McGraw and under Rogers, and
that amount will probably be covered

THERE seems to be very marked
and painful silence regarding the
Democratic nominee for state senator
from this district. No one seems to
care to become identified with that
gentleman in the face of such in
formation as the local democratic
committee has of his record East OF
the mountains. The JOURNAL is also
supplied with the facts, but does not
intend to use them, under the circum-
stances, unless it may be deemed
necessary. II the editor were not the
opposing candidate, the matter might
be used to show the class of men the
Democrats occasionally get fimfamed
into placing on their tickets for tne
suffrage of the people.

Hair as an Index to Temperament.

As long as girls will wear as much
false hair as that naturally belonging
to them, it would be pureile to at
tempt to read character or disposition
in the fashion and character of the
locks displayed; but viewed natural
ly, the hair is as great an index of
temperament as the features. Mr..
Greer, in his volume on hair, quotes
the following indications of character,
founded upon the set and texture of
flowing locks, from book published
in Paris, entitled, Secrets Of Beauty ;
Coarse black hair and dark skin sig
Nifty great power of character, with
tendency to sensuality. Fine black
hair and dark skin indicate strength
of character along with purity and
goodness. Stiff, straight black hair
and beard indicate a coarse, strong
rigid straight forward character. Fine
dark brown hair signifies the combl-
nation of exquisite senslbilitles with
great strength Of character. Flat,
clinging, straight hair melancholy
but extremely constant character.
Harsh, upright hair is the sign of a
reticent and sour spirit, stubborn
and harsh character. Coarse red hair
indicates powerful animal passions,
together with corresponding strength
of character. Auburn hair, with ford
countenance, denotes the highest or
der of sentiment and intensity Of feel
ing, purity Of character, with highest
capacity for enjoyment or suffering
Straight, even, smooth, and glossy
hair denotes strength, harmony and
evenness of character, hearty afec-
tons, clear head, and superior tai
ent,. Fine. silky, supple hair is the
mark of delicate and sensitive tenn
permanent and speaks in favor of the
mind and character Of the owner.
Crisp, curly hair indicates a hssty,
somewhat impetuous, and rash charac-
ter White hair denotes a Emphatic
and INDECENT constitution and we
may add that beside these qualities,
there are chemical properties residing
in the coloring matter of the hair tube
which undoubtedly have some effect
upon the disposition. Thus, red
haired people are VIGOROUSLY passion
ate. Now red hair is proved by an
alysis to contain large amount of
sulphur, whilst very black hair is col
ored with almost pure carbon. The
presence of these matters in the blood
points to peculiaritiss oftSmperament
and feeling which are almost univer-
sally associated with them. The very
way in which the hair flows is strong
ly indicative of the ruling passions
and inclinstions, and perhaps clever
person could give shrewd guess at
the manner of mans or womsns
disposition by only seeing their heads.
