Most of US have slight acGuaint-
ance with woad from early childhood.
having been taught that the early Brit
ons smeared themselves with this dye
either for the purpose of terrifying
their enemies or beautifying their per-
sons. Curiousiy enough, the Latin
historians differ as to the color. one
pronouncing II to be blue, another
black, a third green. As a matter OF
fact. they are all correct Though blue
is the usual extraction. sometimes the
material will come out green. while
the hands of the woadworkers become
as black as negroes hands. and are
only restored to the natural hue with
the change of skin In the middle Of the
sixteenth century came the importa-
ton OF indigo. and. in the interests of
the home trade. these attempts were
only partially and temporarily success
full. and eventually indigo superseded
woad. both being cheaper and more
brilliant dye. But now a curious thing
happened. 1t looked for all the world
as If woad had been crushed out Of ex-
istence, and could never raise its head
again. And, indeed. most of the fac
tories had to put up their shutters. so
that nine people out of ten are proba-
bly, ignorant OF the fact that woad is
still used by dyers. Experiments.
however. proved that the addition Of =
certain percentage of fermented woad
to indigo produced much faster dye.
and consequently all the best blue ma
terials. such as policemen's and naval
officers uniforms. are dyed with a mix
ture OF woad and indigo.-Notes and

Roberts case was how to turn h i'm out
of Congress. OF the truth of the charge
against him or Of the impropriety OF a
man guilty of that charge being allowed
to per Eanontly sit In the House, there
has never been any doubt. But as to the
est mt thod Of getting him out there has
been some diffs rsnos Of opinion. There

1t APPEARS that the falling out between
Bryan and Senator Jones Of Arkansas Is
due to the latter's expression If the opin-
ION that Bryan could not be elected this
year. Naturally enough the NsbEsskan
doesn't want general at the head of the
troops who believes that he is leading
them to defeat. and SO he objects to Jones
remaining at the head Of the national
COMMITTEES. Bryan can't be blamed for
his position, nor can Jones be condemned
for not being able or willing to shut his
eyes to the situation. But II Bryan Ia
going to insist on having ct the head of

accused OF securing his election to the
Senate by bribery. make 1t olesr that
there are two sides to the cass. Whils

the casa is one of open and shameless

whole thing Is put up job by gang OF
unserupulous politicians which years

CURRENT COMMENT.
NO FAvoRS WANTED FROM RUS
STA.
(Bostop Tran script


(Boston Tran script.)
The statement Of Count Cassini, the
Russ ian am bassndor at Washington. as
10 the relations of the United States and
Russia, ia little mers than boom for
the Trans Siberian Railroad, an enter
prise with which the American public ID
by this time very familiar. Count Cas-
sini thinks that In Siberia and In Russia
gen orally there are many opportunities
for American capital and enterprise. In
fact there are so many opportunities that
he advises Americans to call early and
avoid the rush, more especially as Rus-
sia lie simply buy ing now articles which
she does not make preparatory to the
ore alton of graf industrial plants. These
plants once established, huseia will man
ufacturs for herself, and hops soon to bs
able TO dispense with foreign supplies.
So II we are to make hay IN our Russian
trade we must remember that the sun
shine is not likely to last long. This de.
term ination of Russia to make herself In
dependent of foreigners Is perfectly
proper, and IL entirely consistent with
IN ost friendly relations with the United
States.
We have no right to complain because
Russia guards her home market by q
protective tariff, SO long rs we do the
same and she DOES not discriminate
against us. For us to ask anything more
would be for US to beg favors, and that
would be unworthy OF us. Doubtless
Russia might te induced to grant us
special concessions ''for a consider alton.
Thus II we would adopt divergent line
from Great Britain's instead of parallel
one In our relations with China, Russia
might make 10 worth our while, or at
least something which should bear this
appen rance OF an squivalsnt That APP
psarancs would be fallaolous, for moth q
which Russia proper which IL to be forth
tied with tariff bulwsrk against COM
p, titlon could offsr would compensate for
our abandoning the markets we now havs
in China. Those mai kets We can maintain
by adhtring to the policy of "the open
door, for which Secretary Hay has Just
won notable advantages.
