BEING ON THE JOB.

When Secretary of State Root
went to Rio Janeiro to attend the
Pan-American congress, he was the
first secretary of state to leave tn,
country on official business. Less
than a century ago such an act
would have been condemned by jeal-
Gus patriots. Roosevelt was the first
president who ever left the United
states soil when he went to Panama.
Then Taft went on his mission

feet. Now We are to have a presi-

quainted with the world situation.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

In his speech in the senate, pro-
posing amendments to the postal
savings bank, Senator Cummins, of
Iowa. said:
Most of all the government shall
redeposit funds in all banks which
are organized under state laws and
subject to public examination, not in
national banks alone " In speaking
of the last-named amendment, the
senator said: e
There is not a village OF 200 or
more population in Iowa which has
not at least one bank These banks
are the center of the commercial life
of those communities, and II would
be highly injurious to take funds
from such communities and send
them to banks fifty. a hundred ol
two hun ired miles distant"

Tobacco planters could form al
agreement that would keep up the
price of tobacco without hardship
wrangling Or suspicion, If they would
all fix the acreage and stand by It.
We have no hopes Of such an agree
ment being made or kept; but that
would solve the tobacco difficulty. II
all depends on the law Of supply and
demand. Cut down the supply and
the demand will increase the price.
Then those, who wished to, could sell
early and receive whatever the buy
ers might be willing to pay, and
those who could wait few weeks
would get their own price; but the
probabilities are the buyers would
size up the situation and be out bid
ding against one another before the
crop was cut.

RUDowITz SAVED.

Russia has signally failed in her
purpose OF setting a precedent for
securing the return of fugitives from
that country for trial on political
charges. Christian Rudowitz was
picked out as the most likely. be-
cause his conspiracy against the gov
eminent comprehended murder,
among other things. America ana
England constitute the only asylums
for European political refugees, and
II Rudowitz could be secured for
trial and punishment the moral effect
on the Nihilists would be great. The
fight for his extradition was made on
the ground that he was a murderer
and robber; but prominent Russians.
Poles and social settlement workers
took up his cause, and finally, when
the question was fairly up to Secre-
tary of State Root, he refused TO
honor the requisition, declaring that
Rudowitz was clearly a political
refugee.

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The Latest Explanation Is That MI
crobes Cause Baldness.

Professor Unna. OF Hamburg. Ger
many. and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris,
France. share the honor of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through A
few weeks work of these hair mi
crobes. but is the result of conditions
brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work. but
Il is certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut of the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root OF the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter Is wholly consumed

The retirement of James A. Gar

many, who have. been acquainted
with the quiet work he has done as
secretary of the interior. He climbed
up from a bureau chieftianship to the
cabinet. and he did 1t by hard work.
He is son of the former president and
his ambitious mother has been spur
to her sons. An ambassadorship is
spoken of. but Mr.. Garfield is not a
wealthy man and might not be able
