Also the Democratic minority may
make clear at this session its purpose to
revise the tariff as rapidly as it can be
fairly and conveniently done. 1t must
determine at this session the details OF
the measure by which it will reduce the
tariff schedules to their. legal function Of
revenue producers. And oabove all it
must Immediately move to take the
tariff of Of food supplies: to. establish
reciprocity with Canada, and thus meet
the overtures Of that country for mu-
tually beneficial trade relationship. A.,
A tendency now prevalent looking to
the reduction on food prices indicates
we believe that the country's manufac-
'turerS appreciate that the day Of cor
Tuption fund in return for special pAvi-
leges has past.
The enactment o. number OF pub
licity laws has facilitated the movement
among the great Industries to retire from
the field OF campaign contributors. the
Democratic party is going to aid that
movement. %
We believe that the merchants and
manufacturers desire to get out, Of it;
but they must aid the Democratic party
to the extent OF cooperating with it in
the return o. the country to a sane tariff
schedule. .ss
+ The late Mark Hanna did aot inaug-
urate the policy Of giving governmental
tavors to corporations in return FOR
large contributions to the Republican,
campaign fund; but he made o. thst policy
national institution. This last cleo
ton marked its downfall. What the
Republican party lost the people will
gain, Tor the manufacturers, who hvae
/ paid out their thousands to the dominant
party, will find Themselves benefited
more by paying out that sum to the gen.
eral public in the reduction o. prices.
In this last election the people took
a most advanced step. They will rot
60 back again to the old condition.
They have demanded a reduction IN the
tariff and have placed their confidence
IN the Democratic party's ability to
bring about that reduction without dis
turbing business or upsetting trade.
Grov Cleveland once wrought great
injury on the Democracy by failing to
correctly interpret the tariff sentiment
o the Nation, and Mr.. TAFT and Mr..
Roosevelt have succeeded in grounding
,h2 Republican party on the same bar
The re-established Democracy should
profit by the examples Of the past and
move forward now strong in the wisdom
:hgt experience has brought. National

Celebrated New Year With Big Re
ceptiOn and Dance.

About the only public social recog-
milton Of the New Year was the recep-
tion giv8n by the Elks at the Home Mon

making it a verltable bower Of flowers

Damage Follons
Wake of Runaway

Freakish damage. that was far from
amusing for all concerned, and which
not only resulted in breakage to three
houses, but frightened three persons
nearly out Of their wits. followed in
the wake Of a runaway team belonging
to Abbott & Son late this forenoon.
Before the horses were finally sub
dued three houses had been partially
wrecked. and the driver injured. but not
seriously. Just now the horses came
to get away from the driver In the Sec
ond Of two distinct bursts Of speed. 10
not related, as James Taylor. the color
ed driver, was too badly frightened to
give coherent account Of the melees.
| AS nearly as can be figured from q
recital OF the FACTS at tho wrecked
homes, the horses first plunge into
the house wrecking business took place
at 1850, when. running at q mad clip
west on Lincoln street, they tore away
the back steps OF the home Of City En-
Keeping on in their fight across the
yard the animals crashed into the
storm vestibule in the rear OF the Ed
mund Tuffree home, corner of. Center
and Lincoln.
Here Mrs. Tuhree. who was in the
kitchen preparing the MONDAY meal.
came near being frightened senseless.
Without q warning timbers began to
crash, a board shot thru a window. and
two front feet Of q horse were resting In
the kitchen.
The damage at the Tuffree home con-
sists OF q wrecked stormed vestibule,
the lattice work on the porch torn
away. a broken window and window
frame.
From all that was observable at the
Tuffree home the horses were quieted
when they were turned over to tho
colored driver who appeared from some
where to claim the team and take It over
from the hands Of bystanders. The horses
had only begun their frolic. It seems,
ed porch told a tale Of an equine on
slaught. This time the raid was on the
home Of Richard J. Wright. al North
Second avenue. the speedway being
from the west on North street Here
the animals climbed the railing Of the
fornt porch, and were satisfied by tear
ing away the porch railing. Mr..
Wright, who is an invalid from paraly-
sis, was frightened 30 badly that he
could scarcely speak. and from the
window feared the horses were going to
the window or the front door. People
attracted by the scene took charge OF
the frightened horses. and again turn
ed them over to the driver. The driver
went home and to bed. The horses. Il
was said at the Abbott store. were not
hurt.
Abbott & Son have been averaging
about runaway q week for several
weeks and are already negotiating TO
install an autoano tile truck In order
to do their delivering. Cutler Abbott
has figured that within the past few
weeks the firm has spent for runaway
repairs and damages about half what
an auto truck would cost.

The letter says that Fletcher Ford
lived here for time many years ago.
and it is thought that his mother and
a brother also lived here. After leav-

gagged in the newspaper business at
different places. Later he was thought
to have lived somewhere in Colorado

" cleanse the scalp and make the hair
soft and glossy. (2) can not recon-
mend face powder which will not rub

lowing, which Is the most delightful
toilet preparation you can use: Get four
ounces Of spurmax from the drug store
and dissolve in half pint OF hot water.
then add two teaspoonsfuls glycerine.
shake well and let cool. Use this in
stead OF powder. It will clear the pores
and give the skin a smooth and satiny
feeling impossible with powder. This
Inexpensive toilet preparation acts as a
complexion beautifier and the sallow.
1ifeiess color Of your skin will soon give
way to rudy glow Of youthful health.
Ilene: Your embarrassment over the
doWny growth on your arms will be Of
short duration IL you will use little
powdered delatone. Get from the drug
gist an ounce Of powdered delatone. and
with q little mix enough water to make
. paste. Spread thickly on offending
hairs and let remain two or three min
Utes, then remove and wash the skin
carefully. While delatone Is a trif1e ex-
pensive, it never fails. and seldom is a
second application necessary. To in
sure results, be careful to get the pure
lelatone.
Mrs. Pat: Cold weather should not be
an excuse for neElecting the hair and
scalp. The reason you always catch
cold after a shampoo Is because the
mixture you employ opens the pores
and robs the hair follicles of their oily
secretion. This causes the scalp to be-
come dry and hard and makes the hair
brittle and difficult to manage. If you
use canthrox for shampooing once a
week for a While, you can soon correct
this condition and avoid future colds
after washing the head. A teaspoonful
Of canthrox dissolved in teacup Of
hot water is ample for good shampoo.
and II the scalp is carefully massaged
with this. It will remove dust and dand-
ruff. and stimulate the hair folhcles to
healthy action, and the hair will be-
come long, glossy and abundant.
