OUR CONTEMPORARIES
Trrs Theory ct Trade.

Crhe New York Journal Of Commerce
 Our whole theory and policy of for eisn trade must undergo change fl our manufacturers are to find markets abroad for surplus over domestic needs at all times. Tariff barriers must go dow. where they are obstructive snc commercial intercourse must be facilitated instead of made difficult and costly. This does not mean lowering the standard of living, the wages Of la DOT or the profits Of capital measured ,n what these will bring for the con sunaer. These will be greater than ever and, far more equitably distributed, TOT the advantage of our country for .aoor and for capital lies in it's superi- or resources, opportunities. and capaci- tiles, and not in fiscal policy that hampers the exchange of products with other countries. Manufacturers need a different policy for obtaining foreign markets from that designed for giving them exclusive possession of home markets.

POLITICAL COMPLICATION.

For some time t has been matter Of surnaise at just what stage in the political game Mir. William Randolph Hearst would appear. It had been ex-
 pected that he would come into the open at some point Of the general
 proceedings. By some it had been supposed that since his experience In the politics of New York city and State and one experience in a nation al campaign he would not appear as la factor at ell in the coming cam
 paign He had been keeping unusual
 ly quiet while Democrats were search
 ing the country for someone who might contest the nomination with
 Mr. Bryan, finally concluding that no stronger candidate than MT Bryan
 can be found Now comes My. Hearst
 with all plans made to launch a new
 party. But what does MT. Hearst ex-
 pect to accomplish with his new
 party?
 A careful reading of the platform Iof MT. Hearst's new party does not
 reveal anything not included in the
 parties already in the field. There are
 now over half dozen parties bidding
 fnr roteo with a,er,t ebo la of roI;.;aoJ
 opinion What MT. Hearst has to pre- sent is no advance over these. To provide some new and adequate solu- tion of political ills cannot be the ob- ject of MT. Hearsts new party It may be that some sort of combina- tion with the regular Democratic par ty is the end in view Whether he has a following strong enough to force the Democratic party to any compromise favorable to MT. Hearsrs ambitions is questionable.
 However most interesting stua- ton may be created by the appear ance of Mir. Hearst in the political arena During the campaigns in New York city and State Mir. Hearst drew many votes from both Republicans and Democrats, especially from Re- publioans in his State campaign. If Mir, Hearst makes any combination with the Democratic party the control of both Democratic and considerable Republican votes in New York State may be sufficiently strong to cause Secretary Taft to lose New York State, assuming that Mir Taft is the Republican choice. If 1t is at all necessary to carry New York State, Governor Hughes looms up with greater importance. although not strong apparently in the rest of the country.
 However, a most interesting situa- condition of the country, which defaes all precedents, it may be not at all necessary to be sure of New York State. Secretary Taft is gaining in the South where the vote cannot be de- pended on with the former certainty. The tendency of political speculation Is that of elimination Of weaker can lidates and to weigh the chances of a lew men. On the Republican side Sec -etary Taft and Governor Hughes are most prominent. although there Is the likelihood that the junior senator of Massachusetts, Senator Crane, may nave something he is planning. Mir. Hearst, although he and his party nay not make any special gains, has he faculty of complica ting an already political situation.

DON'T STAY SCARED.

Human beings scare easily, but they don't stay scared They are too busy or something. So, though it is only six |years ago that St Pierre, Martinique, was completely destroyed by the erup- ton of Mount Pelee, it Is now coming to life again, and this too in spite Of the fact that life there will be exposed to the same destruction that over Whelnled 1t not long ago. The new St Pierre already has a hotel, 8 wharf, 9 growing population and police force, and the neighboring villages are talk ing on new life.
 So goes the world It Is only four short months ago that the prosperous United States was struck by disaster which did many times as much dam age as that which descended on St Pierre. For time people were pretty well scared, but they are fast recov- ering their courage and are building anew. It won't be long now before most of the marks Of the calamity will be obliterated and everybody will be going full tilt towards the next big scare.

 However. while the essential prob- ,en,s are being discussed the inlmedi- ate needs Of men out Of employment, or families requiring help, cannot be better met than by the systematic community interest and effort now finding a channel Of expression through the. mayors conference and other bodies of helprul standing and influence. Nothing can speak more finely of the moral character of the city than this feeling of oneness and sense of duty to help any in need.

\ GOOD START.

] Kansas City has a new organiza ton
 which enters the field, or arena, in 2 promising way. It calls itself the City
 Club. It is organized to aid, through it's own efforts and by cooperation with other agencies, and with those in authority, in getting things efficiently done which tend to promote the pub lie welfare of Kansas City. And it has been declared by one Of the officers of the Club that it has no idea of irving to reform anybody or to take any part in the political nludslinging whic. is waxing furious on the eve Of q municipal election
 Of course there ought not to be need Of a City Club in Kansas City. There wouldn't be if the voters there had done their duty and # those elected or appointed to office had done theirs The City Club is one Of the numerous devices which seem 10 be needed to make things better in poorly-govern- sd cities all over this country. Some of these devices do little good work. and some don't do much Of anything The City Club Of Kansas City has started its work or the right basis and if its members are industrious enough and wise enough they will be able to help Thele is need enough Of their help tr Kansas City, as there $ of such hep l. many c.t.ez

AND NOW COMES AUSTRALIA.

Gentlemen continue to cry peace, peace, but somehow or other their crying availeth not Everybody is get ting ready for war just as if war was the regular occupation of mankind, as indeed it sometimes seems to have been. The latest to cry peace and pre- pare for war are the gentlemen who rule Australia. They are working out the details of scheme which will give their beloved country in eight years 214,000 men, trained and equipped for war. The plan, as now outlined, pro- vides that every male is liable to un- dergo military training from the age of ? to 18 in cadet corps, and from l8 to 26 in the National Guard.
 As things are and are likely to be, this looks like g wise move. The yellow peril is handy to Australia, and there are other perils which she can think of and be scared by She is a long way from her mother, and she needs to be on her guard as much as any country does. So she will soon be having more or less vast" expendi- lures for military purposes.

MISSOURI IS TAF1'S.
Democrats Have the Legislature by Six
on Joint Ballot.

st. Louis. Nov. 6.-Supplementary
returns early today failed to disturb
materially Taft's lead of 4,235 votes in
Missouri. The state legislature seems
fixed at Democratic majority of six
on joint ballot although this is sub
ject to change.
What doubts now exist relate mostly
to the minor state offices and the con-
stitutional amendments which were
proposed for adoption. Definite fig
ures are lacking on these matters,
however and 1t is impossible to pre-
dict the results.
Swanger, Republican nominee for
secretary of state. seems to have
fairly comfortable lead for that place
but his election is not assured The
returns thus far indicate an average
Republican lead of 1000 for the minor
places. Less than Is per cent of the
vote is included in these reports.

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
Shorn OF Her Crown OF Beauty
Loses In Love and Marriage

halr is certainly most necessary to
woman. VINO could love and marry a
paid headed woman? What charms

A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage Her browning glory is her
mar The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet
right mere in Rochester, there are thou
SANDS OF women who are neglecting OF
lnJurlng their hair to such an extent
that 1t is only a matter of time when
1t will be utterly ruined
Many women destroy the beauty OF
their hair through thoughtlessness or
Ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over-heated, or to excess
which destroys the natural oil of the
halr, causing it to split, break and
come out. They do not shampoo their
halr often enough or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to
the scalp and hair.
As result of such treatment, dand-
run is created. the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out, and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt pre-
cautions are taken in time. Then again,
microbes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair cordi-
tions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves
of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair

We have that remedy. and we will posi-
lively guarantee that it will either
cure dandruff and badness or it will

That's pretty broad statement, but
