North American Review.
BY George Harvey.


According to the North American
Review, the denomination of Taft
will compel the nomination of his
antithesis, Woodrow Wilson.
Barring accidents of a physical
nature, the two chief opposing can
didates for the Presidency of the
United States in 1912 will be William
Howard Taft, Republican, and Wood
row Wilson, Democrat. We do not
presume to impute to dialectics the
nomination of the former. That
frankly, must be taken for granted.
The reasons for its assumption, how
ever, are sufficiently obvious. (1) He
is a candidate. (2) He controls the
Federal patronage. (3) He has won
the confidence and respect of the peo-
pie in large measure, and is gaining
favor daily. a. He is gradually &C
quiring the active friendship of the
inevitably conservative business men,
without whose support no candidate
has been elected President since 1882.
(5) He is and will be unopposed by
Roosevelt for the very pEactical rea-
son that defeat or election will spell
the ending of his career as Presi-
dent probably Immediately, but sure
ly at the expiration of four years.
(6) His rejection by the National
Convention would be unprecedented
and would presage certain defeat of
the party at the polls.
But one obstacle lies in his path
insurgency. By a remote possibility
the new and eager League Of Radical
Republicans may secure control of
the Convention, and nominate, not
Cummins, the wheel horse, but La
Toilette, the resolute, imaginative,
inspiring leader. In that event, the
Democrats will nominate Judson
Harmon in consequence of causes pre-
cisely analogous to those set forth be.

row Wilson as the opponent of Presi
dent Taft virtual certainty.
Logic predestines antithesis. Cir.
cumstances, conditions, uncontrolled
and uncomfortable, demand it. His

years later, II necessity required his
srvioes, in a very short time There
are many things in our modern
school curriculum for which military
training might be substituted, with
very great advantage. In cities Of
sufficient size, the instruction could
be by a regular army man; in the
small towns and country districts,
the training would be less efficient,
both through inferior instruction, and
lack of that enthusiasm which comes
only from massed forces, yet much

COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE

COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE.
! England and the United States are
the two large powers where compul-
sorry service in the army in times of
peace is not required. From time TO
time, and more frequently of late. we
are told that before many years have
passed, 1t will be necessary to enforce
one to three years military service
here from very able-bodied young
man. The idea is extremely repug-
nant, for while the physical and dis
ciplinary value are admitted. It
would mean the taking OF the very
years in which the average young
man really fits himself for his life
work. To return to this preparatory
work after three years of military
life is by no means easy as anyone
who has dropped his studies for two
years, we'll knows. The training to
obey without dispute, to be puncmal
and respectful, are things in which
the American boy is lacking, but
could not all this be reasonably ac-
complished with drill of one hour, or
less, a day, compulsory if necessary,
for all boys in upper grade public
schools, and students in high schools
and colleges? Moreover, it should
not be forgotten that the average
American boy is very fair shot,
and with a minimum of training
would quickly become an excellent
sharpshooter. With a fair knowledge

Why?
Obviously but one theme of inquiry
demands consideration: Who is the
real antithesis of Taft? BryanP Yes,
as in 1908. But Bryan's races have
been run. Gaynor? Yes; but Gay
nor is disqualified by Fate. Folk? Yes;
but Folk clearly is outclassed. Champ
Clark? theoretically, perhaps, but
practically only as pretty compli.
ment Dix? The carrier of water up
on both shoulders? The upholder Of
party fealty, on the one hand, and the
source Of pretexts, to boilers on the
other? Neither opposite nor opposite

Crude Oil for the Hair.

Dear Madam:
VIII you kindly publish in the Evening
STAR what kind of cologne will take the
odor from crude oil, as 1 would like to
rub 1t IN my hair, for 1t Is falling out
very much-in fact. 1t worries me. Do
you think rubbing this in the hair nightly
will help It any? Yours very respectfully,
A. NJ. c.
Crude oil is highly recommended as a
hair restorer. Be sure you apply 1t
directly to the scalp. Part the hair
and rub the oil in with the tips of the
fingers and then massage the scalp for
ten or fifteen minutes. So many people
apply a tonic to the hair, instead of to
the scalp, and then wonder why the
hair doesn't show any Improvement.
II you use the oil at night and air the
hair thoroughly by spreading it out
ove the pillow I am sure you will
find that no offensive odor is present
in the morning. However. If you wish
to perfume the hair YOU can do it by
putting a sachet bag filed with a deli
cate powder or orris root in the lining
of your hat. Let me warn o to pur-
chase a very delicate powder, as heavy
doors are not only disagreeable, but
are also unhealthy.

Because it's the best looking" was

always shows least the marks of time.
But" he continued, 'if you want to
bring out the real character Of a face
photograph the right side. There ma
ture sets her print. There the lines are
bold and unmistakeable. There every
defect, no less than every excellence, is

How Wrinkles Are
CauSed-And Removed
lFrom AmerIoan Home.l

"Why did no one think of this be-
fore?' writes a clear-thinking reader.
Wrinkles are caused by the skin be-
coming loose. Obviously the remedy
is to tighten the skin. Equally it is
obvious that the only thing which will
tighten the skin is a powerful astrin-
gent.
Now, it is well known that the only
powerful astringent which is abso-
lutely harmless and beneficial as well,
is pure powdered saXolite. obtainable
from any druggist. Dissolve one
ounce in a half pint of witch hazel.
Battle the face in it daily and-be-
hold! The result is almost magical.
The skin becomes firm and smooth, the
face feels snug, comfortable and solid,
instead of loose and habby. Simple,
isn't it? As / asked-why did no one
think of it before?

Face Feeling
At Home
(From Ladies Favorite Magazine.)


Any woman nowadays may quickly
rejuvenate her complexion at home by
a safe and painless process of gentle
absorption. The days of expensive
and dangerous Operations are past
and each woman can be her own
beauty doctor. 1t has been discov-
cred that ordinary mercolized wax,
applied like cold cream at night, will
cause the thin veil of l~ifeless, sallow
or blotchy cuticle to gently fake off
in invisible four-like particles, re-
vealing the fresh, vigorous and beau
tiful young skin underneath. The wax
absorbs only the unhealthy and I'M
slightly outer film and does not affect
the healthy tissue at all.
The process defies detection and
unveils a lasting and beautiful COM
plexion which is. of course, a per-
fectly natural one For this purpose
thousands of women are now using
mercolized wax, which may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store.e Naturally
the process also move all such sur
face blemishes as freckles, blotches,
pimples, tan, liver spots, etc. 1t makes
the face look years younger and pref
tier and renders the use of face creams
