1t is the rarest thing in the world for
q man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp Of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en-

ment by Tammany, consummated
at this convention, has threat

bitterly opposed to the selection of

Political Gossip at the National Capital.

Political Gossip at the National Capital.
Editor of Their Progressive Farmer:
Politicians are promising them
selves an interesting and eventful
winter at the National capital. The
.Fifty-eighth Congress begins with an
extra session and on the eve of a
Presidential election. The House is
under the sway of a new speaker, and
each party is confident and aggres-
sive; the party leaders realize that
any mistake made this winter will be
fully exploited by their enemies in
the coming campaign. The President
knows that he is a candidate for re-
election, but that all Democrats, and
perhaps some members of his own
party, are watching an opportunity
to kill or cripple him politically.
German in the Senate and Hearst in
the House have undisguised Presi-
Dental ambitions, and will allow no
opportunity to slip by. The former
counts on the South and the conser-
vative element of the Democracy,
while the latter courts the labor vote.
It is said that Mr. Hearst has rented
an apartment of one hundred rooms
at a cost of $4,000, where it is -ex-
pected he will entertain his guests
and stimulate his Presidential boom.
The Democracy isin constant danger
of falling to pieces, yet it's members
realize that if they can keep togeth-
er, they may have a chance to win.
Any and everything will be turned
into political capital, and the situa-

The Rejection of the Panama Canal
Treaty.

44caIy.
Nobody who is to any extent in
formed about the situation regards
the rejection of the Hay-Herran
treaty at Bogota as based, in good
faith, upon public considerations. It
is extensively believed in Europe that
the American transcontinental rail
road lobby,-which for so long work
ed against the Nicaragua Canal at
Washington, and which succeeded for
the sake of delay in getting our Gov
ernment's attention diverted from
Nicaragua to Panama,-has now, for
the sake of further delay, been at
work upon the minds of the very sus-
ceptible gentlemen at Bogota. But
in any case the opportunity was too
tempting for the venal and impoV-
erished %cliques who, by agreement,
had stopped fighting me another for
a season. They had patched up a
truce on the s]upposition that they
might gain and divide a large booty
by exacting a penalty from the
United States for prosposing to build
and throw open to the world a great
highway of traffic. If we had been
dealing with an honest and response
bic government, the very idea OF pay
ing any bonus at all would have been
ridiculous, ~inasnuch as the payment
should have come the other way
Stated in plain and blunt language
the $4,000 900 cash proposed IN tn0
Hay-Herran treaty was nothing at
all but a bride to the politicians OF
Bogota to induce them to pass the
most useful measure for the people
of their country that had ever o6en
SUGGESTED. Since we are not pro-
posing to construct the canal as "
money-making enterprise, and SINCE
we had in advance given our pIeog0

NEW LEADERS FOR DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS
Political gossip is rife at the Ma
tiona1 capital, and each politician
who arrives in the city is asked to
give the sentiment of the district
from which he comes. Republicans
are interested chiefly in the selection
of the Vic e-Presidential candidate
and of MI. Hanna's successor as
chairman of the National Commit
tee. It looks as if Senator Charles
W. Fairbanks would be offered, and
would accept, the nomination as a
running mate to President Roose-
welt. The President favors his Sc
lection, and the party politicians be-
lieve that he would make a strong
candidate. Mr.. Hanna's term as
chairman of the National Commit
tee expires with the next Republican
National Convention, and the Sena-
tors health will not permit him to
take an active part in the Presiden-
tial campaign; but he will no doubt
remain a valued advisor and counsel
Ior of the party. Representative
Dick, of Ohio, who has been long
chairman of the State Committee, is
regarded as his most probable sue
cessor. Governor OdeIl, of New
York, Editor Young, of San Fran
cisco, and former Senator Wolcott,
of Colorado, have also been men
toned as available.
Senator Germans boom for the
nomination of his party continues to
grow. Senator Bailey, of Texas, is
one of the latest to declare for him,
He a "With German we ought
to win. In the far West he can
carry Utah and Montana. He can
