Ia Like Trying to Get Rid of Dnndrun
 Without HcrpIclde.
 Did you ever see any one trying to wash themselves without soap or water?
 If you did what would you say of him?
 It Is every bit as foolish to try to get rid of Dandruft and to prevent Bald ness by feeding the germs which cause lt. with Canthrarides. Vaseline, Glycer- inc and similar substances which form the principal ingredients of most so- called Hair ViGors.
 Ncwbro's Hcrpclde is successful be- cause it attacks and kills the parasitic germ which feeds on the hair roots. It is the original and only genuine scalp germicide manufactured.

Grammatical Errors in the Bible.

Now no one is likely to stand up for
the absolutely linguistis inspiration OF
our translation of the Bible. There
are unquestionably grammatical faults
in it, though the number of these is far
fewer than is often asserted. Still,
those exist for which no defense can be
pleaded on the score of haste or mad
vcrtance They are as intentional as
are some of the violation of idiomatic
usagcs into which modern scrupulosity
occasionally betrayS men. One of the
errors committed in it there is which
deserves mention for several reasons,
put most of all here for the lesson in
verbal criticism it imparts. First. it
was not in1requently at the present day
sometimes because the writer is care
less, but more often because he is try
ing to be careful without knowing how
The third and much the most impor-
tant reason is that it eXcmplifieS Strik-
ingly the other side of Coleridge's die
tum. Here is an instance where we
can understand the writer's ignorance,
or, strictly speaking, the confusion in
his mind betWee two different con-
StructiOnS.
The place in our version where this
particular error is found is in those
passages of the Gospels where Christ
is represented as asking the opinion of
His deciples as to the view entertained
of Him by people in general and by
themselves III particular "Whom do
men say that 1 ann" is the question
as it appears in Matthew. This may
be taken as the representative of ali
IF 70
employment was due to no inadver-
tence. 1t is essentially the same in
the account as found in each of the
first three Gospels. 1t must according
ly have received the assent of all the
scholars engaged in the preparation of
the Authorized Version. The same cr-
ror is found not unfrequently now in
the writings of men who can hardly
plead haSts as an excuse and some
times not even carelessness. The con-
struction has been occasionally en-
ploycd by authors of some repute who
have clearly rcsorted to it deliberately
For example,: it appears so regularly in
the writings of Bret Harte that it Is
manifest that lie took especial pains to
make use of it under the impression
that it was the only proper thing to
do. Sentences like the two following
turn up constantly in his tales:
"The revelation came from people
whom he was conscious were the infer
iors of himself and his wife"
1.-THE young companion Of the doctor
whom she learned was the doctors
factor
In all such cases the error arises
from the confusion of two construc-
tons, the mingling of which has been
brought about by the Intervention OF
a clause containing another verb. 1t
would never be made if one simple
fact were kept in mind. The verb to
be takes the same case after it as be-
fore it. If one of the finite lenses be
used, both the subject and the subject
predicate are necessarily in the nomi-
native. If it be the inflnitive which is
employed, it is the accusativc that
must appear in both instances, or, to
adopt English grammatical tcrminoI-

This Week at Chicago.

This is the week of the Republican
national convention and from all parts
of the land the delegates and the party
leaders are assembling at Chicago to
participate in the work of that great
body. 1t is the beginning of another
presidential campaign and as such is
an event of great Importance. A few
weeks later the Democrats will hold
their national convention at Denver.
Their work, however, is a compare
lively simple one, and relatively little
responsibility rests upon them. The
Democrats at Denver have merely to
select presidential candidate; the
Republicans at Chicago have the re-
sncnsibility of selecting President Oh
the United States. At neither conEen-
ton is the result in doubt. At Chicago
the delegates will ratify the choice OF
the masses Of the party in all sections
by making Secretary Taft the STAN
dard bear of the united and trium-
phant hosts of Republicanisin. AT
Denver the delegates will allow MIR.
BRYAN to inflict himself for third
time upon a divided and disguised
Democracy.
When the speeches are made at
Chicago this week and when the plat
form is written there will be much
"pointing with pride" No political
party in all history ever did SO much
to be proud of as the Republican party
has done since it came into existence
half a century ago in the name of
humanity and as the savior of the
Union. The Democratic party never
points with pride to it's past. In
fact, if anybody refers to it's past 1t
charges him with calumny. Its stock
in trade is made up of opposition, of
negation, of fault finding, of calamity
bowling and of vague promises of
wonderful things it would do if in
trusted with power. Time has shown
the faisity and the futility of every
cause for which it has stood. Against
such a party the Chicago convention
will begin this week the active work
of another presidential campalSn-a
campaign for the suffrages and the
confidence of the American people, a
campaign in behalf of national prog
ress at home and national prestige
abroad, a campaign for the sound and
safe solution of the problems that con-
front our country.

The little republic of San Marino
has just ratified an extradition treaty
with this country. Most people never
heard of San Marine, though it is one
of the oldest and smallest republics in
the world. But it is also the best
behaved and seldom figures in the
newspaper headlines. II is located in
the southern part of Italy near the
AdriatiC sea and at the foot of the APP
PENNIES, being wholly surrounded by
Italian territory. In area it is only
about half that of the city of Augusta
and it's population is not more than
10000. However. it has been an indie
pendent republic since 1851 and nc
power has ventured to tamper with its
integrity.

One result of the recent referendum
vote in Oregon is that June elections
in that state are abolished and will
hereafter be merged with the elections
in November. This leaves Vermont
and Maine as the only northern states
that still hold their state elections
earlier than the national election
There are still a number of states in
the South which have their state cleo
tions comparatively early, but in the
North the tendency to merge them
with the November election has be-
come general in recent years. The
October elections of Ohio and Indiana
were formerly regarded as of great
political Importance in presidential
years, as forecasts of the probable out
come of the November battle. Rhode
Island a few years ago abandoned the
spring state election and now Oregon
gives up it's state election in June
Thus far, however, there has been nc
agitation in Maine or Vermont to give
up their September elections.

The late General stephen d. Lee had
been selected as one of the speakers at
they annual reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans which was held at
Birmingham, Ala, last week. The
sudden death of the gerat Southern
leader did not prevent his old COM
rades from hearing the words with
which he would have addressed them
had he lived. His speech was all pre-
pared before his death and was read
at the reunion. 1t was in many re-
specta a notable address, eloquent with
the best kind of Southern eloquence
and rich in inspiration for the new
South that has been built up upon the
ashes of the lost cause. We wish we
might find space for the whole of it.
that our Northern readers might
learn from it the spirit of the South
of today as voiced by this great
Southern leader one of the last OF
the great soldiers of that section.

This is FIaq Day.

Sunday was the 131st birthday Of the
American flag and consequently today
will be celebrated as Flag Day
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land. It was on June IA, 1777, that
Congress passed the resolution provid-
ing that the flag of the thirteen Unit
ed States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thir-
teen stars, white in blue field, repre-
senting the new constellation" After
the admission of Vermont and Kentuc-
ky, the number of stars was increased
to fifteen and the same was done with
the stripes, but in 1918 action was taken
reducing the number of stripes to thr-
teen-one for each of the original states
and making the stars at all times
equal in number to the states in the
Union.
Consequently June IA is accepted as
the birthday of the Stars and Stripes,
the American flag as it now exists and
as it is known and honored throughout
the world. In recent years there has
arisen a movement for fitting obser-
vance Of this important anniversary,
not by any extensive celebration but
by appropriate exercises in the public
schools and by general display of the
nag itself on public buildings and on
places of business and private houses
quent observance of the day all can
have a part. and everybody who owns
an American flag should let it lloat on
the summer breezes today.
