The big daily papers seem to
have become leagued in the effort
to prevent Roosevelt from get
ting before the public with the
prominence that was his for
MANY wears. Mr.. Roosevelt is
taking another of his swings
around the country on a speech
making tour, but little IS SAID
about it in the papers. and no re-
ports of his addresses are given.
He RECEIVES a stick-full notice
nowadays where a year ago he
GOT column or two The Big
Interests don't like Roosevelt
and the Big Interests have the
pull with the metropolitan press,
and orders have probably gone
out that the famous eX-preS1dent

light as much as possible. But
the people are not likely to for
get him suddenly or fail to re-
member that it was Roosevelt
who started the progressive
movement that has taken so
strong a hold upon the public

Queer Brushes and Combs.

How animals make their toilet
and keep themselves neat and
tidy is an interesting study.
Most of them are by nature
cleanly and each has its own
peculiar way of keeping SO.
The cat carries her clothes
brush in her mouth. for with her
rough tongue she cleanses her
glossy coat as boy brushes off
his clothes. She licks one of her
front paws and rubs it over her
face. and she is ready for her
breakfast.
Foxes. dogs and wolves do not
use their mouths when they need
to wash and brush. but scratch
themselves vigorously with their
front paws, and are as fresh as
ever.
The COW, with her long. rough
tongue, combs her coat of hair
until it is clean and curly. The
horse, more than any other ami
NAL, depends on his owner to
keep his coat in proper condition,
but often he will roll on the green
grass or rub himself down against
a tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair
with their hind legs. and the fur
seal in a similar manner spends
as much time as woman in MAX
ing herself look smart.
Although the elephant appears
to be thick skinned and callouS.
he takes great care of his skin.
He often gives himself a shower
bath by drawing water into his
long trunk and blowing it on the
different parts Of his body. AT
ter the bath he sometimes rolls
himself in a toilet preparation of
dust to keep the flies off.

The Globe Democrat the other
day deprecated the tendency to
mix business and politics. such.
for instance, as charging the big
business and financial interests
with meddling in public affairs
for their own advantage and pro
lit. OF course it sounds very
nice to say that the two shall be
separate and neither lneddle
with the other. but there will
have to be quite revolution in
our political economy before the
advice can be adopted. Modern
business methods are no differ
ent from those of any other per
iod, and political power may still
confer special privileges to those
who can stand in with that DOW
er. You don't need to look to-
the relations between the big
business interests and the feder-
al government to find the eX-
amples of this condition, they
permeate all through our polite
al system down to county and
municipal affairs. The favor of
politics is a privilege sought toI
beat the com petitor: and it must
always be so. until We can find a /
political system that will have no
power to profit the individual at
the expense Of the masses. Our
present system makes politics
business and business politics. |

Those Democratic Contests.

Close, expensive and exhaust
i've contest proceedings have
been conducted in ST. Louis by
defeated Democratic candidates
for congress and for the legisla-
ture without developing satisfac-
tory evidence Of fraud in regis
tration. in voting or in the count
ing Of votes. Clerical errors,
and a few Illegal votes. accepted
by Democratic and Republican
Judges alike, changed the official
returns slightly for both Demo
cratic and Repu blican candidates
but do not affect the virtue Of
Republican majCrities. The de
feated Democratic candidates for
Congress have nothing to sus-
tain them before that body and
the defeated Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature. who
contested the election of their
Republican opponents, have been
turned down by an intensely
partisan majority Of an investi-
eating committee of the house.
The commissioner appointed
by the Supreme Court to con-
duct the contest of defeated
Democratic candidates for Su-
preme Judge and for Superin-
tendent of Schools has not begun
his work. Prof. GasS. Demo
cratic contestant for Superin-
tendent Of Schools. has engaged
in the banking business at JEFF
ferson City. Judge Valiant.
one Of the three Supreme Judges
relied upon by the Democrats.
has been very i'll and may not be
able to sit in the contest cases.
The Supreme Court Commission
er must finish his work and re-
port to the court by May |. y
motion to dismiss the cases is
pending in the Supreme Court,
based on the contention that the
court has no constitutional juris-
diction over election contests
and that the statutes comforting
! Jurisdiction are invalid.
Notwithstanding these facts
| the attorneys for Republican
conteStees are prepared for any
emergency and the Republican
State Committee must have mon
ey with which to pay expenses
| incurred and to be incurred
+, These unfounded and therefore
unjust contests must be fought
to the end, whatever the end NAV
be. Loyal Republicans will not
complacently see the successful
candidates of their party con
tested" out Of the offices giver
them by the people nor will they
withhold their financial support
from the State Committee.

His Trouble Was Double.

A story is going the rounds o.
one of the young organization
men who is frequently absent
from his home on politics. 5"
His wife has known for a long
time that he was busy with
politics., and that the present
campaign kept him still more oc-
cnpled. The other day she came
down town with him. and while
they were riding in a street car
a strange woman came in and
stared at the young politician.
She passed him and went to the
front of the car still staring.
When she took her seat she fas-
tened her eyes on the young
woman with most astonished
expression.
John. look at that woman
staring at you, said the poll
tician's wife. Who is she::'
John did not answer.
Who is that" repeated his
wife. Explain to me who she
is"
You keep still" said John.

planning who you are to her.

Anti.Treating Idea Growing,

The latest proposal Of temper
ance reformers in New Jersey is
decidedly radical. OF its effect
iveness. if it We're enforced,
there can be but little doubt. but
the difficulty Of enforcing it will
be immense The opposition to
it and the denunciation of it as an
infringement Of personal liberty
must also be great. perhaps
greater than outright prohibi-
ton. The plan is to forbid
treating" under penalty of for
feiture Of license. There can be
no doubt that the practice Of
treating is one Of the worst
abuses Of the liquor traffic. or
rather Of the liquor habit. and
that it is one OF the most prolific
causes Of intoxication. Com
paratiyely few men would go to a
bar and drink alone until they
were drunk. But when several

Gigantic Bee Hive.

, ana We learned from him of th
existence of giant bee hive il
the bluffs on bis farm. The blut
/, in which the bees are LOCATED
! rises a sheer Wa1. 50 or 80 fee
! in height. and about midway il
I the face Of the bluff is the hive
| The opening in the rock is O.
considerable size and the colon,
Of bees very strong one. Mr.
Cole says that in the working
| season. a person may stand al
! the foot of the bluff and see them
pouring in and out in volume
almost representing a swarm.
How large the cave. in which the
honey is stored. is not known.
but it must be large one, as
the colony does not throw out
many SWarmS. and the bees are
known to have been occupants of
the hive for fifty years. 1t does
not require very violent stretch
of the imagination to believe that
within this VondrOuS hive. is
stored, literally. tons of honey:
for with a cavity large enough to
accommodate he workers, they
would lay up each year an excess
Of honey above the needs of the
colony. There formerly lived in
that community a recluSe and a
trapper who was looked upon
with some fear by his neighbors
Of whom il is said. that whenever
he wanted honey he tied rope
to the trees above and came
down hand over hand to the hive.
where he filled a bucket with
honey. dipping it out with a long
wooden spoon and then elm bing
again to the top. Mr.. Cole SAYS
that this story is we'll authenti-
Gated and it is no doubt true.
that the man was evidently a
former sailor and an expert in
rope elm bing. If he used honey
from the great hive. he is. so far
as Mr.. Cole knows. the only man.
although many trials have been
made to reach this golden store.
Last year Mr.. Cole had young
man working for him who pro-
fesSed his ability to make the
trip and secure the honey. Mr.,
Cole rugged block and tackle and
let the young man down to the
opening. but when he arrived at
this point his courage failed him
and he only took time to grab a.
piece Of the comb within reach
and clambered to the top as
though tiendS We're after him.
He could give no explanation of
his terror nor was he able to tell
concerning the great
hive and its contents. Mr.. Cole
is not unwilling that some of the
honey should be taken. but he
has refused permission to kill
the colony or injure the hive, for
the reason that the occasional
colonies thrown off from the
great hive have filled the sur
rounding forests with bee trees.
Some day no doubt the myster-
les Of the great hive will be made
known. when time is given to
plan a compaign and to rig safe
approaches to the opening -
Hillsboro Record.
We take it that this gigantic,
natural bee hive is located on the
farm of Mr.. Steve Cole, who lives
on Big River. near Blackwell.
