Beginning to See the Light.

Now what do YOU think about the
Democratic Maine Legislatures action
on reciprocity? Some OF those who
voted on the wrong side, and those
who lodged into the corridors and
anterooms, have received letter from
home. And all down between the
lines they read: Never again"
The Solons have seen a great light

ing begins to affect its subscription
list little more emphatically, the
organ Of hyphenated vituperation will
begin to see the difference between the

say ABOUT IL We, also, "Ouid ike

dicted that TIE Democratic Maine
Legislature dare not follow in the
footsteps of the national party and
endorse the present brand of "reci-
procity" Democracy wants free trade
but Maine Democrats do not care to
be uhe victims. Ii is not a party
question.

What's the Answer?

Inasmuch as the Democratic Maine
the reciprocity" proposition, and the
Senate has thus far put off any ex-
preston whatever, the following from
this weeks New Age. the paper of the
Democratic Governor, seems little
misleading. To be sure the Journal is
sim talking about the predominant op-
position in Maine, and we are willing
To wager leather medal for His Ex
cellency that he may have occasion to
awake to the unanimity of the senti-
ment before many moons. Here is the
paragraph from the New Age editorial
column:
The New Hampshire House of Rep
resentatives has passed the resolution
favoring Canadian reciprocity, and the
Senate has split even on the PROPOSE
ton. which will be special order
again on Wednesday Of next week. The
Manchester (N. H) Union thinks 1T
must begin to dawn on former Gov
cI nor Bachelder by now that his home
state is not with him in his opposition
10 the reciprocity measure. And Mr..
Bacheider is invited to note the Maine
House Of Representatives has also
voted in favor of reciprocity with Can
ada. Mr.. Bachelor will find little
comfort and support in New England
for his anti-reciprocity propaganda al
though, To be sure, the kenncbec Jour

THE HERPIcIDE GIRL


At Mrs. Blanks reception / met a
gentleman who fulfilled my ideal of a
man in all but one particular. He had
a good head, fine physique, perfect
manners, was a most interesting per-
sonality, and bore himself with the
distinguished air of a gentleman. HIS
linen was immaculate and his clothes
faultless as to cut and material. But
all the pleasant first impression was
ruined when discovered the collar
and shoulders of his dresscoat covered
! with loose hair and flakes of dandrun.
To me this was an indication of per-
sonal carelessness, not to say unclean-
liness wanted to tell him to get a
bottle of Newbro's Herpicide. This re-
markable remedy would, in a short
time remove every trace Of dandruff
from his head, stop his hair from fall
Ding and prevent him from becoming
bald. don't like baldheaded men;
they look old whether they are or not.
Dandruff is caused by a germ and
Newbro's Herpicide kills that germ.
The itching which is so frightful with
dandruf stops almost instantly.
- Herpicide is the Original Remedy
ing in the world Just like 1t, nothing
that is "just as good"

teed by all druggists to give satisfac-
ton.

IT I correctly interpret the purpose
Of this meeting, 1t is to stand be-
tween the farmers Of the southern
states and the loss of several mil
lion dollars, through unwise market
ing of cotton. The Farmers Union
has just concluded it's annual con-
vention at Shawnee, Oklahoma, and I
am confident that there the represen-
tatives OF more than two million
farmers formed plans that will bring
to nought any conspiracy that may
exist to secure less than its real
worth the staple that is still the
south's main dependence" He invited
the cooperation of every man in a
movement to bring for cotton what it
is worth.
MIR. Barrett then entered into an ex-
PLANTATION Of the mission of the Farm
ers' Union. He denied emphaticaIly
that the organization exists for the
purpose of working havoc in the gen.
eral business world, or of subverting
the laws Of supply and demand or
Of gaining an unjust advantage of
any one.
