purchasers. 1t was money-maker for
the Lancaster packers, especially for
the original holders.
If anybody is wise enough to get next
to just what the new crop is going to
be, he will have an opportunity to coin
a fortune The opinions that are given
regarding it differ widely. Even the
packers are at odds over it, and it is
very justly stamped as most uncer-
tain crop. But our packers are not
likely to make the mistake that they
did with the 1909 crop, and brand it as
bad before they absolutely know exact
ly what it is. One buyer declared he
had examined number of crops which
had been partially stripped, and he had
found so much pole-burn that he felt
safe in predicting that big lot of to-
bacco would not bring over nine cents.
A month ago quite number of pack
ers set nine cents as about the price at
which the crop would be sold and adj
vanced a cent on their predictions. The
growers want eleven and over
Some of that which was bought
brought as high as eleven cents, but
most went for ten. Several local pack
ers whose judgment is always safe to
take, say the crop, which is big one,
will turn out large percentage of
first-class filler goods, but as the indi-
cations are that much damaged tobacco
will be found, it would be the part of
wisdom for the trade to wait until the
stripping is finished before starting to

THE comments of the press are quite
unanimous in the view that union labor
has sustained a staggering blow in the
confession of the Mcnamara brothers
on trial at Los Angeles. 1t opens the
eyes of the public that many of these
organizations are conducted by men
who have neither respect for law or the
rights of citizens and no crime so dark
they would not resort to. 1t is up to
the rank and file of union labor now to
denounce their false leaders and place
themselves on record as disappearing
of the Outrages that have been made in
their name. The part that Lincoln
Steffens has played in trying to bring
about a compromise of justice and save
the necks of his socialistic friends, the
McNamaras, under plea of business
interests only shows the character of
a muckraker in his true light. The
confession has opened a line of investi-
cation that should continue until the
men higher up or lower down than the
criminals now caught shall be brought
to justice. The public will demand
that the matter shall not end with the
sentencing of the Mcnamara brothers.

AT A conference of the ardent sup
porters of Senator LaFollette in Mil
waukee last week a slate was made up
of delegates to the republican national
convention in direct opposition to the
spirit of our boosted primary law. The
quiry arises why the political necessity
for such events? Is it not a direct at
front to the principles of the primary?
If this be the logical result of the op-
GRAFTON of our primary election law,
then the law is even more vicious than
it's worst enemies charged it with be-
ing, for it creates condition which en-
courages the worst kind of political
legerdemain and charlatanry and fur
nishes greater opportunities for the
mountebank, crook and demagogue to
crafty their political ambition. The
last men on earth to favor such secret
scheming and political quackery should
be the men who favored primary cleo
lions. When, therefore, they ignore
it, or secretely circumvent its princi-
Piles, the opponents of the law must
draw one, if not two, conclusions,
namely: That the law is not to be re-
lied on when great issues are at stake;
or that those advocating it are wholly
inSincere.

who ever lived from Hamurabbi down
to date are SO thoroughly distanced that
their work looks purile when compared
with that of our noble statesmen who
readjusted the primary election law and

mony with the prevailing political idea
among them that If you don't terror
ize office seekers with drastic penalties,
the chumps will buy up one another and
all the electors, too. No one would be
apt to look for the passage of such
drastic measures by Legislators imbued
with the belief that the people can be

Renewing Compilations
BY ABSORPTION

If your complexion is marred
with blotches, moth patches, PIN
pies or freckles, it's useless to
putter with powders and paints,
lotions, creams and things, in an
effort to get rid of the trouble.
Unless you have some ability as
an artist you'll mar your appear
ance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with
all it's offensive marks. Just get
an ounce of pure mercolized wax at
the druggists and use at night
same as cold cream. Remove next
with water and soap, fol-
lowing with dash of cold water.
The mercolized wax absorbs the
half-dead scarf skin in flaky par
ticles. so gradually no one guesses
you're treating your face-unless
it be by the result. which is truly
