THE BLACK HAND.

America is at last beginning to awake
ger of the Black Hand within its
borders. This dreaded society of or
ganized violence originated in Italy
and has come to this country with
Italian immigrants. Up to a very few
years back Black Hand outrages were
almost entirely confined among the
Italians and rarely if ever were true
born Americans in the least threatened
or molested. OF late this has changed
and Americans in all parts of the
country are not only being threat
ened, but are even being murdered
by the emisaries of this murderous
order. The Black Hand and anarch-
ism are often confused. They have
no connection. The Black Hand is
purely a criminal organization that
seeks to gain livelihood for its mem
bcres through extortion and blackmail
Intended victims of the Black Hand
are notified that unless they pay GER
tain amounts of money their lives will
be forfeited. Anarchism is more or less
of a political belief. Anarchists are
nearly always discontents who would
change the existing order of things and
do away with all government, believ-
ing all men should be d law unto them
selves. Among anarchists there are
two classes. The poor and poverty
stricken anarchists who makes no pre-
tense OF hiding his dislike of govern
ment and the rich anarchist who, hid
ing behind a false government of, for
and by the people, does just as he wish
es to. This latter class of anarchists
hold forth in Wall street and other
financial centers of the United States.
The Black Hand, however, cares not
whether there is a government or not
It's aim is not political, but plumber.
If it's intended victims do not COM
ply with it's request for blackmail
money they are blown to kingdom
come with dynamite or else struck
down in the dark by murderous as
sassins. The only possible and prac-
teal cure seems to be deportation.
The members of the Black Hand are
almost entirely composed of Italians
and it would not be very difficult for
our government to tighten til ceins
on Ellis Island so that more recruits
for this nefarious order can not slip
through to join those already in this
country. AS fast as the members of
the order now in the United States are
detected they should be deported. A
few years of this kind of medicine and
the Black Hand will cease to be a
growing menace to all free born
American citizens and to our free in
situations.

THE LAST STRAW.

When a miserable moisture permeates
the atmosphere,
And snow with rain is mingled and
the skies are gray and drear:
When solitary robin that was sing
Ing on a limb
the wilderness so GRIM
When the patter of the rain is all that
breaks the dismal hush
or the world that has become vast,
unbroken sea of slush
When you SILVER all impatient for the
mercury 10 climb

IL newspaper readers realized now
great a change in the flag is necessitat-
ed bv the admission of Oklahoma to
statehood there would be lively compe-
tition for submitting an appropriate az
rangement of the stars. A great
amount of money will be involved by
this change
No decision has been made on the
arrangement of the stars. There are
six rows at present alternating seven
and eight to the row. A number of
propositions have been submitted by
ingenious designers for taking care OF
the extra star, but the arrangements
have not filled the bill
The flags used by the government
will have to be cast aside and new ones
with the Oklahoma star, will have to
be purchased. When it is considered
that flags are displayed by pOstOffices,
custom houses, ships, army posts, re-
cruiting stations, etc, some idea of the
tremendous expense involved can be
formed. The bunting, which by the
way is of the best grade and quite ex-
pensive, will run into millions of yards
To compute the cost of new flags for
the various states, corporations and
individuals is impossible. Every ship
will be required to purchase a new
flag, and even foreign ships viii change
, their flags for the new ones.

The speculation as to the course
President Roosevelt will assume when
he becomes Theodore Roosevelt. pri-
vate citizen is becoming. if anything,
more keen every day.
The men of Congress are not visiting
at the White House as frequently as
they did before the President announ-
ced that he would not be a candidate
for a third term, would not be a can
didate for the Senate from New York
and would not go to Africa to shoot big
game.
AS long as it was thought that the
President might decide to remain in
public life, he was feared The i'm
preston now is that when he goes out
Of the White House he will conduct
a literary propaganda. He will prob
ably write things that will develop
public opinion in support of the legis-
lation in which the people are most
interested.
Nobody expects that Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt will be off the map of af-
fairs. Just what he will do, he alone
knows, but will be before the public
that is assured. And there will be
a crusade that will attract the atten-
ton of the country from time to ime

Il didn't go in for those things very
strong
He'll come out all right, for he
comes of the right sort OF stock. His
father is a thorough American, a man
who marketed cattle and, by the exer-
else of good. common, horse sense,
made good.
The Senator's Son has been some
what spoiled by the position Of the
family in the social world. He'll
come out all right as soon as he has
done little work and has had time
for reflection. He thinks he is going
out to the ranch on health trip-a
sort o. period of diversion. He'll be
doing chores about the place before
long.
Then will come the revolt and the
inevitable heart-to-heart talk with his
father. Incidentally, hell find the
Senator in a mood very much strange
to him when he kicks over the traces.
1t will be the making of the Senator's
Son.
Uncle Joe Cannon told the other day
of his first impressions of Washington.
He had not been in the capital very
long until he was thoroughly disgust
ed. He was on the point of resigning
several times, and, on second thought,
resolved that he would stick out his
term and not run for reelection.
Each time some one else got after
his Job and Uncle Joe was stirred up
by this fact He concluded to return
to Washington and did so.
My highest ambition today is to be
a member of the house of representa-
tives," said the speaker, and to die

will be buried at public expense. Then

Francis NJ. Cockrill, who is now a
member of the interstate commerce
commission has caused the young men
about the commission office no end of
anxiety by display of temper while
playing whist.
If there's one thing the ex-senator
likes to do, it is to play whist, and
while he is the most mild hammered
man to be found anywhere, he is terri
bly, riled when he gets into a game
with some one who is a bungling
player.
He then shows some of the fighting
spirit that brought him to the top in
politics and made him good soldier in
the confederate army. He rises in
his wrath, cusses everyone in sight,
and starts for home.
The young men about the commits
sion office think it an honor to go out
and play whist of an evening with Mr..
Cockrill. If one of them makes a
break, Mr.. Cockrill's condemnation is
SO severe that the victim goes home
bordering about where he will get an
other job. He thinks the best thing

We could use cheaper wheaton use corn.
And leave out the pure maple syrup.
We could leave in the broken flakes that we
now sift out-about 1OS of the product.
We could use the process that others
use-from Is to 20 hours. The process we do use
requires 96 hours. But that is what makes Mapl-
Flake what it is.

Then it is toasted for 80 minutes, in a heat of

The object is to make the starch all digest
IDLE. For wheat is largely starch.
Starch to be digestible must be made soluble.
The PARTICLES must be separated SO the digestive
juices can get to them. When wheat is half
cooked only half will digest.
That is why we spend the 96 hours And
why Mapl-Flake costs Is cents.
