THE BEARD TOO
MUST SOON GO
Desire to Look Young Fatal
to Facial Adorn-
ment.

A few years ago the fact that men
were beginning to sacrifice their
boards and mustaches and that more
and more men were going clean shaw
en-, was widely noted and commented
on. No, several years after the
growing disfavor of the beard was
first observed, but few relics of the
ancient day in the shape of long flow
ing boards and luxurious mustache;
can be seen, and even the Van dykes
and cunning little COATES are disap-
pearing. Only those from the rural
district with of course sprinkling
of city men, and foreigners OF the
first generation as rule still cling,
to the ancient and honorable custom.
In these days of commercial activ-
ity and social progress when men
remain in the business whirl far be-
yond the time when their fathers
and grandfathers retired one of the
objects of the game seems to be to
remain as young as possible
and TO look so, even If young
is no longer felt. So the beard must
go, for one reason because it is US
ually the first place in which gray
hair will show, and for another rea-
son because of the fact that from
time immemorial, the beard has been
associated with age. No more do the
young men secretly nurse a feeble lit
tie mustache form the day when the
first few starggling hairs appear I'M
til it blooms forth, full Pledged. NO
more is the possessor of the big mus
fortunate fellows. instead of that
tache object of envy to his less they
now look with pity akin to scorn
upon he who dares to cling fondly to
his beloved face adornment.
A we'll known barber stated yester-
day that even this week he had strip
ped there men of facial adornments
who had worn thir boards for years,

A New Danger in False Hair.

A few days ago a young Lady In
Richmond, Va, while resting in
hammock in her garden took a rat
out of her hair in order to cool
and rest her head. She laid il care

no more about il. The next day she
felt strange pains in her head They
grew so severe that she was com

Is an element in the equation which
must be kept constantly In mind.
But after making all allowances for
the circumstance that local and not
national issues decided the result In
yesterdays election, the outcome
sounds a new note OF warning to the
Republican congressional campaign
managers. Weakened by fractional
quarrels in many states the Repub-
lican party is losing some of its easy
ascendancy throughout the country.
In the early months of the year the
tide was against the parry. This was
shown in the special election in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts Congress
sional District in March and in that
in the Thirty-second District of New
York in April These districts, which
had been Republican for years We're
carried by the Democrats. 1t is true
that in each district the Republicans
selected weak candidate, and the
Democrats put in the field men who
would attract many Republican votes.
The loss of those districts, however,
was a blow at Republican prestige.
In the following two or three months
the Republican Congress made a good
record, and this strengthened the
NO tx,o oh Dat ha r
swing which always takes place in the
congressional election in the middle
of a presidential term DEGREES that the
party in power must lose some seats
in Congress in those years. Sometimes
that party loses enough to give the
control of the House to the opposing
organization, and thus the president
has that chamber against him in the
last two years of his service. This
is what took place in 1874, in the mid
die of Grants second term. 1t occur
red in 1882, when Arthur was presi-
dent and again in 1890 and 1894. On
the former occasion Harrison was in
the middle of his service and on the
later Cleveland was in his second term
Will 1910 be added to this roll OF con-
gnessional elections in which the peo-
pie cast vote of mo confidence" in
the national administration? Perhaps
not. Yet the Maine setback yesterday
gives an imperative summons to the
Republican campaign managers to
put little more earnestness into the
canvass, and it calls upon the insur-
gents of to-day to fall into line just
as did the insurgents of thirty years
ago when that state swung back to
the Democracy.-Globe Democrat.

IMPORTANT
DECISION.
Passed On Ancient Law by
Ohio Attorney General.
Liability to Care for Invalid Re-
latives Continues After
Marriage.

An, ancient English law, enacted in
1901, was taken as a basis for an
opinion issued by the attorney gen.
erals department to secretary Shirer
of the board of state charities. That
statue, still in force. provides that a
father, mother grandfather and grand
mother is liable for the support CT
poor, blind, lame or impotent persons
who are erelated to them, says the
Irontonian.
Accepting this as a part Of common
law, the department holds that the
father of married woman committed
to an insane hospital after she became
of legal age and whose husband is
unable to support her, is liable for
her maintenance in the institution
under the new pay-patient law.
The contention of the father was
that he was not liable for the reason
that his daughter was beyond legal
age when committed and that also
because of being married, and that
her husband was liable IL any liabil-
ity existed.
In another case in which 1t is held
that the parent is liable the father
objected to paying anything for the
keep of his son because he was COM
mitted to the hospital after becom-
ing OF age. 1t is held he must pay.
II is also ruled that an estate of a
patient who is without dependents
may be drawn upon for the expenses
Of maintenance of the patient.

SEEKS A PARDON
FOR 7. S. ANDERSON.
Many People We're of the 0pir-
ion That His Sentence Was
Far Too Short

Owensboro, KY, Sept. 19-After hay'
ing served a little over six months
in the Eddyville penitentiary, T. S.
Anderson former president of the
Daviess county Bank and Trust COM
pany who was given a sentence of
eighteen months by Henderson jury
on the charge of swearing falsly to
statement of the condition of his
bank, is now seeking a pardon.
The petition is being circulated by
Postmaster F. A. Van Rensselaer,
and is being presented to citizens in
discriminatory. Several OF those who
lost sums of mony in the bank have
been asked TO sign the petition and
in the majority of the cases have
flatly refused. One citizen who lost
heavily in the bank failure said that
it was an outrage that the sentence
given Anderson was not equal at
least to the one of five years given
to James II. Parrish.
Anderson was convicted at Hender-
son in January of this year. He did
not appeal his case, going direct to
the penitentiary. When MIR. Ander-
son went to the penitentiary the re-
naming indictments against him
were dismissed. A number have
signed the petition.

Does Maine Point the Way.

In the Maine election September,
1910, repeats the story Of September
1880. Frederick w. Plaisted Demo-
crat, carried that state for governor
yesterday, just as his father. Harris
M. Plaisted, also q Democrat, carried
il thirty years ago. In each case the
Plaisted found the Republicans weak
ened by factional feuds, and in each
instance they were impeded by the
prohibition issue. Thirty years ago a
fusion with the Greenbackers gave the
Democrats the victory but Gov. Fer
maid the Republican candidate OF
1910, was much weaker than was Gov.
Davis, who was renominated in 1880.
Moreover, personally the younger
Plaisted was more popular that the
elder. In his successive terms as
mayor of Augusta he made a good
record. In race against a weak can
didate, Gardner in 1908 in a year in
which he was aided by the presiden-
tial campaign, Fernald won the gov
ernorship 10y lead of only a little
over 1900. And as against any DEM
ocratic candidate, he would have been
weaker now than he was then. His
defeat. therefore, will not cause any
surprise in the country at large.
But does the Maine reverse por-
tend Republican defeat for Congress
in November? It I'D not have this
meaning in 1880, and perhaps will
not in 1910. The Republican setback
thirty years ago in the state election
put new vigor in the Republican ma
tional campaign, and the party car
ried the country, including Maine,
The Pine TAR State in November re-
yersed it's action of two months ear
lier, and chose Republican president
tial electors. In 1880 the Republicans
were saddled with an especially Weak
candidate. Nobody thought of Gar
field as a presidential possibility when
the national convention met. He was
there as a delegate committed to the
support of John Sherman. In the
deadlock between the larger aspirants
Grant. Blains Sherman and Ed
munds, the convention was Obliged to
seek a colorless candidate and in that
eaigency the Blaine supporters threw
their strength to Garfield, and nomi-
mated him. Only by herculean eff
forts were the Republicans able to
elect him, although his Democratic
opponent, Gen. Hancock lacked po-
litical experience and was distrusted
by many of the Democratic leaders.
But even under these adverse condi-
tions the Maine result in September
did not foretell the direction In which
the political winds were to blow In
November. In 1910 this sequence OF
1880 may repeat itself. The fact that
