Some people borrow trouble, OBJ

it outright.
It's a good idea, thinks The Herring
ton Times, to search yourself before
criticising others.
Says Uncle 81, in the the Ottawa
Republic: No matter how lopsided a
felier's face may be, his nose is bound
to be the scenter.
A Manhattan store offers to give
away a lady's $50 hat, notes the Alma
Signal and it adds with fine scorn:
There is no such thing as a hat worth
$50.
This is free country and every
one has a right to his opinions, says
the Gridley Light, but it is not neces-
sary to force other folks to listen to
Them.
Weekly Record: Sunday brought a re-
turn of real summer weather-around
SO in the shade-and took the rheum-
atism out Of many a poor little nasty

Some men are like asters, go on
blooming their best right up to the
frost line, remarked the Jewell Re-
publican recently, and the Marquette
Tribune adds: And others are like cos
mos, they never bloom until the last
day in the evening.
There will probably be a rush on
the part of Republican county and
legislative candidates to declare their
presidential preferences before long,
on account of the following which ap-
peared recently in the Ottawa Repub-
lie: Reward-The Republic will pay
reward of rs cents to any Republi-
can county or legislative candidate
who will publicly state through these
columns whom he is supporting for
president. Surely this offer should
bring number of responses.

As you may know, number OF

There is one extenuating circum-
stance connected with the result of the
Congressional invest cation which
shows that it cost over $2,300,000 to
put Roosevelt over in 1904. The list

J. M. Barrie is now living a life of Sc
clusion in Amhuinnsuidh castle. That's
about the only kind of a life one could
live there, as no one could remember
the address.
It is poor game that won't work
Doth ways. Maybe that's what the K
c. taxi passenger was thinking when he
held up and robbed the driver.
But as he got but $12.40. it is evil
dent that he trimmed the taxi man
too early In the evening. The evidence
would indicate that t was that driv-

Human Hair Industry.

The trade in human hair in Italy IS
quite well developed, especially In the
south. 1t is estimated that the exports
amount to 100000 to 100000 per wear
and the article is shipped to all countries
or Europe and North and South America.
Human hair figures an important
article Of export according to fnvoic e..
certified at this consulate, the value OF
shipments from Naples alone to the
United States amounting to S3S7, 900 dur
ing 1911 About rs per cent of that ex-
ported from Italy is the raw, uncleaned
product, this being admitted free of duty
to the United States which is the market
principally to be considered.
The price paid here for human ha'r
varies considerably according to the
quality. Some is bought by the profess
sional collectors as cheap at lire Qira
for the best quality sometimes as mtcl,
as 100 lire per kilo is paid.
The sections in and around Naples are
good sources of supply. and it seems to
be a general custom for the women to
save their combings and sell them regu-
laaiy TO-, to the collectors employed by hi
Palermo, Catania and other towns in the
southern part of the italian peninsula
employ staff of collectors, who regu-
larly cover defined sections and buv up
from the women in the poorer districts
all the combings they have saved. Tilis
is then bundled and shipped to the biz,
exporters in Naples, who transshfu it 20
all parts of the world.
The concerns in Naples send men to
Switzerland and Dalmatia each year,
who buy up all the hair they can obtain
and as FAST as q bundle is made up ship
1t to Naples The women have a special
method by which they can produce a
supply of hair regularly and yet not ap-
pear to have been clipped at all. This is
done by having half of the hair at the
back of the head cut of and then twiss-
ing the remaining half over the exposed
that it Is quite uuexposed and not dis
cernible. By this means an annual sup
ply is produced, and when the human
hair agents come these women always
have a new yield to dispose of. In such
a way their own hair is a source of in

Governor Wilson is apparently not in
close touch with the Democratic party
concerning the tariff. He now says that
tic Democratic party does not approve
cree trade or anything that approaches
free trade. It proposes merely a re-
consideration of the tariff schedules
such as will adjust them to the actual
business conditions and interests of
tie country. If this is so that practt-
caliy eliminates the tariff as one OF thu
big issues Of the campaign. Such is
the program Of President Taft and atso
Of Colonel Roosevelt, except that they
would bring about the revision IN a
scientific manner through the investi-
cations of a tariff board or commits
sion.

There being no law that will permit
the use Of voting machines at elections
in this state. one of the first acts Of

have reen tried they have proven to
be entirely satisfactory, and the peo-
pie wouldn't hear of changing back to
the old and cumbersome methods of
voting that prevail in wide-awake
Kansas. Not the least redeeming fea-
ture of the voting machine is the

John Schrank is evidently bent on
getting at least a pound of flesh. He
claims the bullet in Colonel RoOse-

and proposes to dispose of it in his

necessary to cut the bullet from its
resting place. However, the last will

REAL REFORM.

Why don't some of these alleged re-
formers in Kansas get down to real
reform and pass a law that the term
Of governor of Kansas shall be for
four years without a consecutive or
other subsequent term, with provision
that the governor shall not participate
in politics either in his own or other
state and shall not run for other Of
flee while serving the people? Why
not pass such a law respecting all
state officers? That would be real re-
form in Kansas, and don't you forget
it, We would not be all torn to
blixen as we are today II it had not
been for the personal interests of a
lot of officeholders who have brought
about the condition. Let us get at

fuge for suave politicians.-Independ

FOREIGN-BORN VOTERS.

The extent to which foreign born
citizens will participate in the COM
ing presidential election may be in
ferred from statistics of the census of
1910 Just published. There were in
the country 6,646,S17 foreign-bor
white males of voting age, and OF
those 3,O34,117 had been naturalized-
Some more have been naturalized
since 1910, of course. Since not all
who are naturaliZed will vote, 1t is
reasonable to assume that the total
vote of the foreign born next month
will not exceed, and probably viii
not reach, 100000. That number is
a very large proportion of the total
electorate, however. Not quite Is
100000 votes were cast in the United
States for president in 1908, although
there were many stay-at-homes.-

1t is evident that the Roosevelt

initiative and name a strictly Toose-

the June primary for the national re-
publican convention. At the confer
ence held here last week, the matter
of selecting ten delegates and alter
mates was left to a committee of nine
men. The committee has Sc
lected the men, or will have done so
by the time Of the meeting of the
convention, and the chairman of the
committee has called the delegate
| convention. 1t is believed that by
the time the convention meets the
atmosphere surrounding the Roose-
welt and La Follette-Roosevelt dele
cation will be cleared to some extent.
The following formal call has been
issued for Aberdeen March 20:
There Is hereby called a delegate
convention of the Roosevelt league OF
South Dakota to meet in the city OF
Aberdeen on Wednesday,, March 90,

pose of naming ten delegates and ten
alternates to the National republican
convention at Chicago in June, 1912,
and also a national committeeman,
