A SCREENING DISPLAY OF ToADY
 ISM BY THE GRAND CAMP.

Violating all precedent, acting con trary to the constitution, and ab- solutely disregarding the protest of six Alaskan camps and the sentiment of all fair minded people, the grand camp of the Arctic Brotherhood yes terday made President Taft an hon orary past Arctic Chief.
 It was a sickentng display of toady- ism which must be repellsnt to all members of the A. B. and is directly opposed to the fundamental principles of the order. President Taft was made an A. B. in violation to the es- sental distincayeness of the A. B. which makes it necessary for all in itiates to have been north of fifty four forty.
 Stripped of all false sentimentaAty. the officials of the grand camp of the Arctic Brotherhood stand convicted of the meanest of motives. of trying to steal the honor from Q camp in Alaska of playing the toady and the syco- phant. of deliberately setting aside all obligations of fair play and honor that they might shine in the reflected glory of a President.
 No wonder President Taft disregard ed the request for home rule wired him by every Dewspaper and every mayor in Alaska. The grand camp of the A. B. set him an example by as coolly disregarding the protest of the Alaskan camps.
 The acquisition of Taft Is of doubt ful benefit to the A. E. He must nave Auown tnat Dy joining at Seattle he was violating the greet rule of the order and showing marked dlscourt- esy to northern camp. His recently expressed views upon Alaska, stamp him as a bureaucrat, an enemy to home rule.
 The Alaskan camps will be absolut ly justified in refusing to accept the action of the grand camp and in re- pudiating Taft as a brother. Having bad the honor and the dubious dis tinctiOn of taking Taft over the trail. the officials of the grand camp should have the grace to resign from the posts they have so shameiessly be tayed.

COUNTRY GIRL IN THE CITY.

'NTo stay at home is best"
You may quote the homely old adage
in vain to the girl whose ambitious
dreams lure her away from the coun,
try place or the village to the city.
And often the girl who stays al
home envies the girl who goes away.
Distance lends enchantment to the
view. The dream of city life is like
glittering pageant in the shifting
. kaleidoscope Of the girls aspirations.

The girl of town or country grows
tired of teaching distric> sehooi or
clerking in the village store u slaying

realize her dream Of life.
At the first she is dellghted-enarn,
ored of the glare and glitter. Here,
she thinks, is the substance Of things
hoped for, the evidence of things seen
in her visions.
Then comes disillusion.
The awful loneliness of the crowd
comes upon her. The sordid surround
ings Of her cheap boarding house, the
comparison Of her frumpy dresses
with the tailored suits Of well dressed
women-these things lead to heart
aches and wretchedness. She is a
stranger in n strange land.
Poor lassie!
If she is made of strong moral fiber
She will come through II all and save
her womanhOod and self respect, but
she will also grow little callous OF
heart and mind In opposing her self
ishness to the sordid selfshness of her
world some Of the bloom Of innocency
Is likely to disappear.
If there is a weakness somewhere
in her moral armor her very virtues
of innocence and trustfulness may
lead TO her undoing.
To stay at home Is best.
To be sure, II is quiet down on the
farm OF in the village. but the monot-
Dny Is as nothing to the aching lone
illness that comes In the midst OF
strange crowds. And there are a full
ness Of happy comradeship and
ffriendliness of contact among the
home folks that are never TO be found
elsewhere.

able to win her way in the city and
save her soul. what has she gained

BIG HATS.
At lasti


Unprotected man has found a friend.
| A bill has gone into the Illinois legis-
lature limiting the diameter of wo-
mems hats.
By this bill the size of millinery
headgear is limited to not more than
eighteen inches across from brim to
brim, and the said millinery shall not
weigh to exceed five ounces.
Whereat the innocent bystander re-
joices. Seriously, however,
The big feminine hat is a real dan
ger. 1t is insanitary, and it is men,
ace to the health of women wearers.
1t is productive of nervous ills, and
what is of particular interest to wo-
men-it causes loss of facial beauty.
Think of it!
Some of these hats are as much as
sixty or seventy inches in circumfer-
ence and with the heavy trimmings and
ornaments weigh as much as seven or
eight pounds, to which must be added
great punches of rats" and rolls of
wire and hair that weigh two or three
pounds.
Now!
The nerves at the base of the brain
are under tremendous strain to carry
such a burden, and the veins that
carry blood to the head become con-
gested.
Result?
Loss Of blood nourishment to head
and face, interruption of blood flow;
therefore face flushings, therefore
headaches. But worse and more Of it
Red noses! Ruined hair! Wrinkles!
OF course women will suffer much
martyrdom for the sake Of Dame Fash
ion, but when they discover that GER
tain fads are not only a menace to
health, but especially a menace to IA
cial beauty, why, that is different
Several medical societies have re-
Gently pointed out the danger that
comes from the wearing of the huge
hats Of the period.
Besides
II women would give O little study
to the origin Of the big hat II might

The big hat fad was originated by
Lillian Daissaint, a notorious woman
of Paris. 1t is worn there only by wo-
men Of her class and never by the re-
spectacle women Of the city. The big
hat in Paris is one Of the badges by |
which the demimondaine advertises
herself.
There are many women who will not |
go to the extreme length or width Of
the current millinery fad. Others pre-
fer to be out of the world rather than
out Of fashion
