Prioes as a campaiqn Issue.

It is one of the anomalies of Amer ican politics that the democratic par ty should have made the demand for higher prices its slogan 14 years ago and should have won in the recent campaign by voicing opposition to pre- vailing high prices.
 Every one knows that the democrats urged the free coinage of silver in 1896 because of the belief that such a pol icy, if adopted by the national govern ment would lead to the increase of prices of commodities. The free sil- yer policy was not put into operation, but nevertheless prices have advanced to a. remarkable degree, to the dis satisfaction of the people generally present year are now causing most welcome reductions in the prices of standard food products.
 Opposition to high prices appears to be 8 better campaign issue than oppo- sition to low prices The progress of civilization should mean a cheapening of the cost of commodities. High prices may benefit the producers, but low prices help the consumers. The consumer happily is to receive more of the attention of practical statesmen in the immediate future. Both demo crats and insurgent republicans are pledged to the task of removing his unjust burdens.
 The fact of the matter is that the business of government is to let prices alone and merely combat abuses and provide equal opportunities for all. The American people want justice Given justice, by their own intelligence and industry they will prosper more than they can hope to do by virtue of gov ernmental handouts.-Chicag Daily News

La Toilette on Roosevelt.

When the Wisconsin senator says: NO progressive leader, however popu- lar was able to make the progressive vote subservient to any party" he hits both Roosevelt and Taft, but he strikes a good deal harder at the ex-president than at his successor. This declaration means that the western progresives are "on'' to Mir. Roosevelt and that all such talk as that given out in New Yorl, recently by Editor Nelson of the Kan sas City Star is very wide of the mark This rainbow chaser from the banks oi the Raw says:
 The west understands Roosevelt,an 1t understands that he is not merely the leader of the republican party-he Is the leader of the American people The parties are breaking up, and under the influence of the old party ties il may take two years, it may take four it may take six, for the people ito come together in the fight for their owr rights, but when it does come there won't be anything to it.''

It is pleasant to see the be1lflower, with its agreeable suggestion of the Norman "bellefleur," in the list of prize winners. but what has become of the faIlen-water, as it was some times called, a huge, sweet apple ex- ca1lent for eating friendly" as the old phrase was for gnawing an apple without the aid of knife or napkin?
 When one notes the long list of un- familiar names borne by New England apples and reads that apples are sent by mail from Oregon at the rate of three for quarter, one is driven to wondering whether there are still tooth1ess grandmothers or greataunts, who sit by the ingleside in quiet rural homes, and eat their apples by the aid of those little wooden paddles with which old ladies of the kind were once wont to scrape the swedish sourish flesh of old fashioned pippins to a pulp. Perhaps the apple paddle has gone out with the pippin and the grindstone, and wit, the smooth nick ory stick warmed in the oven that served such ancient danes as a com forting ''bedfellow1. of winter nights.

Where Are the Old Applss !?

Many lovers of apples missed some of their favorites in the list of prize winners at the Boston apple show. Are the grindstone, densest of the ap- pie kind, and the pippin no longer grown by the horticulturists of New England? It is perhaps too much to expect that any modern farmer on this side of the Atlantic should grow the apple-John. a famous keeping apple in England of 300 years ago and more, which had a curious way of shrinking and Wrin<ling with age. Prince Hal, 1t will be recalled, standing in the presence of Sir John Falstaff and a dish of five apple Johns, took off his hat with a mock bow and said, T will now take leave of these six dry, round, old. withered knights" Justice Shal- low invited Falstaff into his orchard to eat beneath an arbor "a last year $ pippin of my own grating" and the superserviceable DaVy set before Bar

veNisoN FOR THANKSGIVING.

Massachusetts and Vermont will shave more native vsnison on Thanks giving tables this year than before for many a year. The slaughter of these beautiful wild creatures has been pro- tested against by the humane and the press, but hundreds of them have been Hshot to death to satisfy the sporting Instinct of civilized man. What the Boston Transcript says of the open season in western Massachusetts is of interest ts our readers:
 "A stranger in western Massachw- setts, Tuesday, ignorant of the situ- ation. might have supposed that re- zion in a state of guerilla warfare. In Amherst, it is said, not so many men with guns in their hands had been seen since Shays' rebellion. There were more than fifty hunters for ev- cry deer that was shot, though the luck of some has doubtless strength ened the chances that still remain. One family of six in Pittsneld shot four deer, while scores of others beat up the woods without even a sight of the hopedfor quarry. About thirty deer in Franklin county were shot during the day. Two womHn, one at Rowe and the other &t Ludlow. were among the first to bring down the big game in both cases before breakfa st. There were many hurnors of the chase. In Charlemont. all the hunters started early for the woods. and in their ab- sence a fine buck walked the length of the main street and disappeared unrnolestsd.

AIDING NATURE.

The woman who is wise will bear In mind a few simple rules that will help to improve her appearance.
 One is: Remember in drying the face after washing to rub upward toward the nose. This will prevent wrinkles and help smooth out to a great extent the lines about the nose and mouth.
 Avoid the exclusive use of either hot or very cold water.
 A hot bath at night and a cold one In the morning are good, but in amy case one a day is necessary to keep the skin in good condition.
 Don't depend entirely on soap and water for cleaning the hands Scrub them with a small brush, a cake of velvet puInice stone and some boIax.
 Avoid artifcial means to furnish what nature has denied you. Powder clogs the pores of the skin and rouge is worse. Nothing is pretty that is not natural
