Immigration Measure.

An immigration bill affecting
all Asiatic peoples was introduce
ed Saturday by Representative
Hayes, of California. The bill
provides that all laws now in
force prohibiting or regulating
the coming of Chinese or persons
of Chinese decent into the United
States be made to apply to the
japanese, Koreans, Tartars, Ma
lays, Afghans, East Indians,
Lascars, Hindoos and all persons
of Mougo(ian or Asiatic race or
extraction.
1t is further provided by the
bill that all persons affected by
the proposed law now in the
United States other than those
engaged as teachers, students,
merchants, bankers, profession
al men or persons touring the
country for pleasure must, with
in a year after the passage of the
act, apply to the secretary of
commerce and labor for a certifi-
cate of residence. All such per-
sons who have not certificate of
residence will be arrested and be
subjected to deportation.
The bill was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.

Banner Mines to be ReOpened.

By the end of the present week
the Banner mines in the western
part of Jefferson county, where
the explosion Saturday, April s,
caused the death of 1913 men,
will have resumed operations.
The Coroner's Jury has passed a
verdict on the mines and the ex-
plosion. The President of the
State Convict Board made per-
sonal inspection and in the next
few days a report will be sent to
the Governor by the Associate
State Mine Inspectors as to the
accident. The Chief State Mine
Inspector took very ill at the
Banner mines after working
there hard for four days follow
ing the explosion aud he will
not be able to return to work for
some time, if ever again. He
exposed himself to the dampness,
the bad air and other detrimental
fumes in the mines. The mines
are said to be among the best ar
ranged IN the state and before
the explosion the ventilation was
almost perfect. The experts
who had visited the mines pre-
vious to the explosion and since
express surprise at the terrible
disaster. The Pratt Consolidated
Coal Go. will lose no contracts,
it is believed, through the ex-
plosion. Convicts are being sent
out to the place almost weekly.

POIiteneSS in Business.

Pol;teness is regarded as one
of the virtues. 1t is not gener-
ally enough recognized as an i'm
portant business asset. "Pll
never go into that store again, )"
declared gentleman as he came
from a store where the salesman
had been discourteOus. The pro.
prietor may wonder why his trade
falls off, while that Of his neigh
Dor increases. He may think he
do rot advertise enough, or cnt
prices enough; bit the cuetomer
who was driven away came to
him first because Of his advertis
lug, and then went to his rival
and paid more money for the de-
sired article, for no other reason
than that he wanted polite treat
ment. The latter merchant had
a business asset which was of
more value to his trade than the
display advertisements and cut
prices of his neighbor A
lady and gentleman visiting a
town once we're charmed by the
quiet refinement and graceful
politeness of the salespeople in
one of the large stores. The as
sistance rendered was so prompt,
friendly and unobtrusive that
the business of shopping was
made a pleasure, and lattering
comments regarding the store
and the c0ntast to certain other
stores which it presented were
Immediately put in circulation
by the grateful visitors.

Your scalp is not in healthy
condition or it would not feel SO
hot, dry and hard, nor would
your hair be brittle, splitting at
the ends aud falling out. You
can refresh and invigorate your
scalp and the hair roots by the
use of quinine hair tonic made
as follows: Get from your drug
gist one ounce of quinzoin, dis
solve it in one half pint of alec,
hol and add one-half pint of
water. Rob this into the scalp
and hair roots two or three times
a week and it will give new life
to your hair, making it soft, rich
and glossy. Regular use of this
tonic destroys the germs that
cause dandruff and badness.
You will find this tonic much
better than any ready prepared
tonic you can buy and it will not
stain the hair or scalp.

Gift from Outlaw.

John Frillman of Oil City, Pa,
who was in New York recently,
had strange story to tell. He
said he was on his way to Dan
vers, Mass, to deliver sum of
money to a man there whose
name he preferred to keep a
secret. This money, he said,
was left the Danvers man, when
he was a boy, by Jesse James,
the Missouri outlaw.
Years ago." said Frillman.
"Orrah Smith of Allegheny, Pa,
lived at a hotel iAOmaha, which
was frequented by Jesse James
and his friends. He and James
became close friends. One day
James gave Smith a 45-caliber
revolver. He said there was a
note 10 hollow place in the
handle, but that Smith must not
open the guns stock until April
8, 1911. He gave Smith to un-
derstand that he (James) wanted
to provide for boy, and told
him he had deposited money in
bank in Kansas to remain there
until the boy grew up. He fear
ed he would not live to see the
boy attain manhood, SO he in
trusted Smith with the instruc-
tions.
On April 8, 1911, Smith open.
ed the gun and found the in
structions. He followed them
and located the boy, now grown
man, In Danvers, Mass. He
deputlzed me to 60 to Danvers
and tell the boy of his good for
tune. | believe the boy was the
son of man James had killed.
"The Danvers man." conclud-
ed Frlllman, sis married and has
three children, The money, in
Guiding principal and interest,
now amounts to about $4,000. 1
don't know why James was so
interested in the boy, unless it
was sentiment connected with
the death of the lads father"

His Youth Renewed.


Pink, the fairy, was out taking q
morning stroll and wondering
who she could make happy. she
came upon an old man. He was
seated on the top-rall of the
road side f nee, with his head on
his hand, and she had to look at
him just once to know that he
was all in.
Glow, now, but what is this,
grandpa?" asked the fairy as she
came to halt and handed him q
handkerchief to wipe his tears
away.
sit is that I'm an old man."
he replied.
"But that's nothing. The
world just dotes on antique fur
niture."
"But | am not loved. | have
q son, and after making all my
property over to him he told me
to be gone. He said that the
sight of me gave him pain and
made him tired. For the last
year | have had only moldy
crusts to eat, and have had to
sleep on the woodpile. All, the
sadness of being an old man."
"But weep no more. Wouldst
be young againY"
"But youth once passed comes
again no more, and who wants
the aged about? | could get a
set of false teeth fer IS, and a
bottle of hair dye for rs cents,
but what's the use. Old age is
here, and l shall sport no more. !"
ooh, | don't know" said the
fairy. "Do you see this magic
wand? | wave it thus and So"
"By thnnder!' exclaimed the
old man as he slid off the fence,
"but believe | can see to read
without my specs!
"And wave it again"
"And these old legs have Inn
bered up until | could dance a
jig! Say sis"
"And again"
"Why--whv, | don't feel day
over 20, and if there was a boss
race or dog fight within three
miles of his I'd sure be there!
What's happened to me?"
sob, that's Just one of my lit
tie ways. You wanted to be q
young man again, and here you
are. Better take this wad of the
long green and bet it on Dix,
and you'll know what to do with
that unglial son of yours, when
you get home. As this is my
busy day | will say ta-ta to yon
and pass on"
And that made-over old man
went away and bet on Dix and
won 100000, and then he went
home and took that son of his by
the chin and threw him over the
fence and famed his back and
took possession of his own again.
Ambition returned with his
youth, and at the present moment
he is running a get-rich-quick
scheme that beats them all and
will soon make him the owner If
skyscraper.-Grit.

The Passing Of PIutocracy.

Every one of intelligence and
heart is, to some extent, re-
former. 1t is a dull mind that
does not recognize the possibll-
ity Of improving conditions; and,
1t ia q hard heart that, knowing
of the possibility, does not desire
improvement. Reformers differ
as to the relative Importance of
the many reforms proposed it is
the desire of The Commoner to
concentrate the attention of re-
formers upon the reforms within
reach. Reformers differ, too, in
temperature some are just above
freezing, others are at boiling
point-The Commoner's aim is to
raise the temperature. Reform
ers are apt to become discourage
ed. Because they see clearly
abuses exist they wonder why
others do not see; because they
have found what they regard as q
remedy;;they wonder why all do
not accept it.
The Commoner offers q word
of encouragement to reformers-
God is still on his throne and the
world moves forward. Monarchy
has run its course-monarchs are
now largely figure heads, legal
fctions, with but little power to
help or hinder progress. Aristo.
cracr is dying-lt is losing all
over the world. Plutocracy is
passing-its power to coerce is
weakened year by year.
Among the influences at work
for the overthrow of plutocracy,
four may be mentioned as the
most important:
First-The increase in the sup
ply of money. Just as the dark
ages receded before the increas-
ed volume of money that follow
ed the discovery of America, so
the wonderful discoveries of gold
since 1890 are releasing the dis
position of debts that accumulat-
ed to the point of bondage dur
ing the period of falling prices,
beginning in the early seventies.
Rising prices have brought pros
perity to the masses, and with
easier times greater independ-
ence. This independence on the
part Of the voter is manifesting
itself in an increasing protest
against plutocracy.
But there are three fundament-
al influences at work in the
world-eaCh of them a foe to
plutocracy--and the three TO-
gecher give assurance of the COM
plete route of the reign of the
dollar.
First-The spread of intelli.
gence. The world is moving
all the nations joining the march
toward universal education.
AS the plutocracy is an indefens-
ible system it can not hope to
live when ignorance is banishe /.
Second-The world is moving
toward popular government-here,
too, a like tendency is to be OBJ.
served in all nations. And popu-
lar government is the natural op-
ponent to plutocracy-there is
external enmity between them.
Third-The world is growing
better; moral standards are ris.
ing; ethical rules are being ap.
plied-and the conscience con-
science condemns plutocracy.
Let those take heart who fight
for better things; let those who
have been Indifferent begin to
fight. Every one can help some
no one can tell how much until
he tries. 1t is time to try.-The
Oommoner.
