RESTORED HIS HAIR.

Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura soap
aud Ointment After All Else Fa1,ed.
81 was troubled with severe scalp
humor and loss of hair that gave me
a great deal of annoyance and incon-
venience. After unsuccessful efforts
with many remedies and so-called
hair tonics, friend induced me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The
humor was cured in a short time, my
hair was restored as healthy as ever,
and l can gladly say | have since
been entirely free from any further an
noyance. I shall always use Cuticura
Soap, and l keep the Ointment on
hand to use as a dressing for the hair
and scalp. (SigneO Fred'k Busche,

Prophesied Teddy's Greatness.

More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Minkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness of
young Teddy. She says: Zone day I
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose-
welt, who said to me, I wonder what
is going to become of my Teddy? l
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day
a great professor, or, who knows, he
may become even President Of the
United States Mrs Roosevelt re-
buked me. She said such a thing was
impossible, and asked how / could
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But, perhaps on account of my impul-
sive remark, | have since continually
watched Theodore Roosevelt's career,
and have always been glad when he
has made a step forward in the
world. From "Roosevelt's German
Days." in Success Magazine.

SOUNDS A RATE LAW CALL.
President r ooseve1t in a Speech Urges
More Power Over Railroads.

President r eoseve1t in a Speech Urges
More Power Over Railroads.
In his tour Of the South President
Roosevelt has spoken many times. AT
Raleigh, n. c., the President in be-
ginning his address reviewed North
Cardinals part in the making of the
history of the republic, and alluded to
its present condition Of prosperity. He
spoke of the duties of the individual
citizen to the nation and to the State,
and then launched into the main pur-
pose of his address, the government
supervision Of railways. On this sub
ject he said:
do not believe in government owner
ship of anything which can with pro-
priety be left in private hands, and in
particular | should most strenuously OBJ
ject to government ownership of rail
roads. But / believe with equal firm
ness that it is out of the question for
the government not to exercise super
visory and regulatory right over the
railroads; for it is vital to the well be-
ing of the public that they should be
managed in spirit of fairness and JUS
tice toward all the public.
Actual experience has shown that it
is not possible to leave the railroads
uncontrolled. Such a system, or rather
such a lack of system, is fertile in
abuses of every kind, and puts a pre-
MUM upon INSCRIPTIONS and ruthless
cunning in railroad management; for
there are some big shippers and some
railroad managers who are always will
ing to take unfair advantage of their
weaker competitors, and they thereby
force other big shippers and big railroad
men who would like to do decently into
similar acts of wrong and injustice I'M
der penalty of being left behind in the
race for success. Government supervis
ion is needed quite as much in the in
terest of the big shipper and of the rail
road man who want to do right as in the
interest of the small shipper and the
| consumer.
Experience has shown that the pres
ent laws are defective and need amend
ment. The effort to prohibit all re
straint of competition, whether reason

took place at Wichita under the aus
pieces of the Masonic order. This last
illness attacked the noted Kansan In
New Mexico.
Mr. Simpson was born in New
Brunswick in 1912 and raised as boy
in Oneida County, New York. His
early days were marked by so bitter
o poverty that he said one day, after
means and fame had come to him: "1n
those days God seemed to have select
ed my branch Of the Simpson family
for every kind Of a hard knock. The
knocks came to us in lunches"

able or unreasonable, is unwise. What
we need is to have some administrative
body with ample power to forbid COM
bination that is hurtful to the public,
|, and to prevent favoritism to one indi-
vidual at the expense of another.
In other words, we want an admin
istratiye body with the power to secure
fair and just treatment as among all
shippers who use the railroads-and all
shippers have right to use them. We
must not leave the enforcement of such
law merely to the department of JUS
tice; it is out of the question for the
law department Of the government to do
what should be purely administrative
work.
The abuses of which we have a genu-
inc right to complain take many shapes.
Rebates are not now often given openly.
But they can be given just as effective
ly in covert form, and private cars, ter
minal tracks, and the like must be
brought under the control of the commits
sion or administrative body, which is
to exercise supervision by the govern
ment
But in my judgment, the most impor-
tant thing to do is to give to this admin
istrative body power to make it's find
ings effective, and this can be done only
by giving it power, when complaint is
made of given rate as being unjust
or unreasonable, if it finds the complaint
proper. then itself to fix maximum
rate which it regards as just and rea-
sonable, this rate to go into effect prac-
tically at once-that is, within a rea-
sonable time-and to stay in effect I'M
less reversed by the courts.
1t must be understood, as matter
of course, that if this power is granted
it is to be exercised with wisdom and
caution and self-restraint. The inter-
state commerce commissioner or other
government official who failed to protect
railroad that was in the right against
any clamor, no matter how violent, on
the part of the public, would be guilty
of as gross a wrong as if he corruptly
rendered an improper service to the rail-
road at the expense of the public.
Lashes the Grafters.
In a brief speech at Atlanta Presi-
dent Roosevelt numerically dashed the
grafters in politics and called on de-
cent men to denounce dishonest Off
Gals and whip them into obscurity.
''Drive every dishonest and corrupt
man out of Office shouted the President
you are false to your trust as Ameri-
can citizens if you allow such a man
to remain in Office a single day No
matter how high the mans standing
drive him out if he is corrupt

lie conscience in dealing with corrup-
ton is to confuse the public mind as
to who is corrupt and who is not
SIN our legislative bodies, in our ma
tional Congress, if you know that any
man is corrupt you are not to be excus-
ed if you do not hunt him out of public
life.
Instead of asking that you be len
lent in your judgment of any public
man, 1 hold that you are recreant to
your duty if you are lenient. If you
have good reason to believe he is cor
rupt, then refuse under any pleas of
party expediency. under any considera-

STARK NAKED IN PARK:
Narrow Escape from Freezing Il
Death.

1SdtAls
Bridgeport, Jan. 25.-John Meleski, a
Tavonian about thirty years old, until
the middle of last October. employed as
a laborer at the Burns Silver & Co.'s
factory, was found in Seaside Park this
morning about 7:SO, stark naked, pray
ing at the foot of the Soldiers monu-
ment. Had he not been discovered I'M
til an hour later, he might have been
frozen to death. He is insane.
The employees at the park saw him
from the cottage, and going out TO
where he was, asked him what he was
doing. He at first paid no attention to
them, mumbling prayers and raising his
hands, but later he talked little with
them. He was able to tell his name and
to state that he lived in Willard street.
His teeth were chattering with the cold,
and he was unable to walk. SO stiff was
he from the cold and exposure.
A telephone message was sent to po-
lice headquarters, and Detectives Ar
mold and Cronan and Patrolman Fiune-
gan drove to the park. They found the
unfortunate man in a place of shelter
when they arrived, but he had to be
lifted bodily into the carriage.
He was taken at once to the emergen-
cy hospital, where stimulants We're civ
ell him, and he was warmed. Strangely
enough it appears that he will escape
without any part of his body being fro
zen. in spite of the intense cold and, the
biting wind that was sweeping across
the park at the time.
Meleski's clothes were beside him on
the ground, and he also had a dinner
basket with him, containing food. This
leads to the belief that he was on his
way to work when he became insane.
Whether his afTlfction is permanent or
not has not yet been ascertained.. He
remained at the emergency hospital all
day. but it is, likely that he will be
transferred to the Lakweview home.
