Red Hair on the Wane.

Within two generations the red
haired human will be seen no moro
on our city Streets ffewe are to be-
l1eve the statement OF Mr.. Curtain
president of the United BARRIERS AS
soc alton of America. And, as cher
of American tonsorIal artists. he
ought TO be anaauthoEIty on the sub
ject.
1t is really sad the way things
are disappearing in this progressive
century Of. ours. AS fast as we in
crease the record in one rection
it persists in getting shortened In
another. Modern progress seems 70
resemble a tube Hlled with marbles;
whenever a fresh marble is pushed
in at one end another is forced out
at the opposite.
There are many things that we
could spare better than the ginger
headed mascul ne or the girl with
the Tltian-bronze, remarks the Los
Angeles Times. Ginger stands fol
pluck and .golden-bronze for beauty
and beauty and pluck have always
been leading features OF the Amerl-
can people. Yet for some climatic
or genealogical reason, whenever
fair and dark nate, the children
nearly always take after the duskier-
haired parent. So red locks are
slowly but surely d sappearing' ac-
cord!ng to the careful investigation
OF Chief Barber Curtain.
Perhaps in time our red-haired
citizens will have to be corralled and
protected by government as are
our nearly extinct buffaloes. But as
other spec alists tell us that in an
other hundred years the whole hui
man race will be bald, we are hardly
Justified in putting the already over
worked government to any extra
trouble to preserve for short tin1fS
longer the amber bronze or mahog-
any-hued locks as scalp decoration
And someway we imagine that
pluck and beauty will survive, II the
worst comes to the worst.

Tariff Reform.

Tariff reform is a subject upon
which the people are thoroughly
aroused. They know what they want.
They don't want something from the
next congress that will be labeled
democratic" and be as great an in
EQUITY as the Wilson bill was. The
Republican revolt against the bill
passed by the last congress shows that
the people want more than simply a
new tariff rating. They want one
that means something for them.
OF course, if the democrats in the
house, shall at the special session,
pass some very much needed reforms,
our party will have done all it can.
We are in minority in the senate
and the president is against us, SO
that we cannot expect to be able to
do all that ought to be done for the
public relief from the tyranny of the
tariff favorites, who have kept the
republicans in power 50 long. 1t is
exceedingly important to our party
that we should now do all we can to
revise the tariff in the interests of the
consumers. And this is important,
as good democratic politics, now for
the reason that on account of the
wits on tariff revision, which
amounted to nothing so far as public
interest went, the people are not
trusting our party implicitly, and
have no reason TO, but their tentative
attitude is further justified by the
behavior of such men as Bailey of
Texas and others, named Democrats,
who are not by any means sincere in
their proteStationS of friendship to
tariff reform. Let us not again lose
the opportunity we had when our
party imposed the wits on tariff upon
the people. Let us be wise, and take
to heart the lesson of experience
taught by the defeat that followed
cur brief accession to power in the
country at that time.
The people are disguised with broken
promises; now they want something
else. Promises want go with them
hereafter. Nothing will go but deeds,
done, or honestly attempted to be
done. They are awakening TO the
knowledge that they are not really
dependent upon either democrats or
Republicans TO get what they want.

A BUsHEL of cones makes a pound
of seed, and the government requires
1900 pounds Cf seed for Montana
alone, and the same quality for some
of the other states. In the Black
Hills of South Dakota the officials of
the United States Forest Service have
assembled what is believed to be
the largest supply of pine cones ever
gathered in the United States. With
the cones the Forest Service will this
year do vast amount of replanting
of burned areas in South Dakota,
Idaho, Utah, Colorado and other
western states. In the piles of
cones assembled in the Black Hills
are between twenty-five and thirty
thousand bushels, which cost the
government and an aggregate of in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The
quantity is to be increased to $4,000
bushels.

WHEN the State of Wisconsin select
ed Door county for the location of the
new state parl-, the selection was
made purely on the merits of the loca-
tion from a scenic and historic point
of view During the time the state
officials were employed in looking up
the options for the territory involed,
it was found that the state would be
the owner of several hundred acres of
apple and cherry orchards. The state
will therefore go into fruit raising on
a large scale. The new park is located
in the midst of Wisconsin's great
cherry growing district, which bids
fair to excel in acreage and value of
product, the famous cherry orchards
of Japan.
