The London motor omnibus compa- .nies have begun to reform themselves, ss they are fearful of legislative action
 The first act of reform of the jugger- naut, which has crushed out so many lives during the past year in London streets, is a general reduction of speed. so that most of the lines now do not exceed the rate of l2 miles an hour. In the past it has been no uncommon thing for the buses to run 15 miles an hour in the traffic and In many cases this has
 forced the pace of lighter motor cars
 running in front of them.
 owing to it's great bull. the motor om-
 nibus has become the premier road hog" of the streets Many of the drivers
 are exceedingly skillful pilots and,
 taking advantage of the slightest open
 ing, they force their way through the
 densest traffic with slight regard for
 the rights of other vehicles and with
 out paying the least heed to pedestrains.
 No other vehicle does as much harm
 to pavements as the omnibus. yet 1t pays
 nothing towards the upkeep of the
 streets This Is one of the standing
 grievances of the municipal street car
 lines, which not only have to compete
 with the bus lines, but also have to pave a portion of the roadway.
 The demand for an impost on the bus lines is becoming insistent. and coupled with criticisms of their excessive speed, the complaints have become so formida hle that the companies are beginning to pay some attention to the rights of the public. It is hardly likely, however. that they will escape taxation, for the town council of Croydon Is already con sidering measure whereby the bus lines will be compelled to contribute toward the upkeep of the streets.
 If American shipping through the Panama canal should be favored it is said that British shipping interests will retaliate by making extensive use of the railway across the isthmus of Tehuan- tepec Traffic by this line has already reached such proportions that plans are being made to double the line and the facilities at each end will be so in creased that transshipment will be made extremely easy.
 The huge floating dock Duke of Con- naught, built at Barrow for Montreal shipyard, has started on its leisurely voyage across the Atlantic in tow of two powerful Dutch tugs.
 It is the second largest dock in the world Over 700 feet in length, 1t had tc be launched in three sections. It is capable of receiving the largest battle ship either built or planned.
 Allowing for an average speed of five knots. the voyage to Montreal will take about six weeks, but should the weather be bad two months or more will elapse before she reaches the other side. The rope hawsers used for towing the dock are IS inches in circumference. Wire cables also connect the tugs with the dock.

 be supplied to the tugs in mid-ocean if
 necessary. Each tug carries provisions
 for six months and 70 tons of frozen
 water.

The republican party is in for the
hardest fight it has known in quar-
ter of a century, with the friends
Of Taft and Roosevelt lining up
against each other to capture the
national convention at Chicago op
June "a. The former president has
projected himself into the campaign
with all Of the impetuosity which
has characterized his every public
action, while the present president
has set about preparing his minions
of war in a manner which shows
that he and his friends realize the
seriousness of the undertaking be-
fore them. They are oiling up the
good old Federal machine as she
has not been creased in many year
and the steam roller is going to be
doing overtime work between now
and convention time.
The fight seems to us to be large
~ a question Of whether the federal
officeholders, who owe their APP
to Taft, can smother the
rising tide of the rank and file of

The Adair County News, publish
ed in one of the new counties which
the Legislature is adding to the
Eighth district, says that it will be
mighty hard for anyone to defeat
Congressman Harvey Helm in the
primary next August. Editor Har-
ris generally keeps pretty well post
ed On things political. and in this
prediction, he again hits the nail on
the head. Congressman Helm will
not be defeated next August, for the
democrats Of this district will ap-
preciate all too well the splendid
work he has been doing for the
country, TO retire him just as he APP
proaches the most useful portion of
his career. And we want TO assure
the stalwart democrats Of Casey
and Adair, who are just coming in
to democratic congressional com
pany, after wandering 10, these
many years in the darkness of re-
publicanism, that they can make no
in falling in solidly behind
Lincoln county's able son, who is
doing such a great work for his PEG.

GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
Mote Hair Growth When Pro-
perly Combined.

Resorcin is one Of the most effec-
tive germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is both germici-
dial and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its natural
nourishment, and also creates a clean
hearty condition of the scalp, which
prevents the development Of new
germs.
PilOcarpin, although not a color
ing matter or dye, is a well-known
ingredient for restoring the hair to
it's natural color when the loss of
hair has been caused by a disease
Of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper combi-
nation, with alchohol added as q
stimulant and for its well defined
nourishing properties, perfect per-
haps the most effective remedy that
is known for scalp and hair trou-
bles.
We have a remedy that is chiefly
composed Of these ingredients, in
combination with other extremely in
valuable medivinal agents. We guar
antee it to positively cure dandruff
and to grow hair, even though the
scalp in spots is bare Of hair. IL
there is any vitality left in the roots

by the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives of the county unit extern
sion hill, the direct primary election
bill, the department of banking bill
and the prison reform bill. -Four of
the most important pledges made in
the late Democratic platform have
been complied with, and there is ev-
cav reason to believe that the other
pledges referred TO in the Democrat
ic platform will be enacted into law
before the adjournment of the pres
ent session of the Legislature.
II preferred that the prison re-
form bill should be bipartisan but ]
recognized that, under our Consti-
tuition, we have three coordinate de-
partments. the executive, the judicial

ent of the other; and when the legis-
lative department, without, being re-
Quested by me, passed the prison re-
form bill without the the bipartisan
feature, which was not required by
the Democratic platform, but which
contained three important points
that | advocated as indispensable, to
wit: Relieving the Legislature
from electing Prison Commissioners;
giving to the governor the authority
to appoint, and terminating the pres
ent prison system. which both politi-
cal parties had condemned, | be-

The Louisville Times and the
Courier-Journal have been viciously
prodding Gov. McCreary because he
has not made personal plea to the
members Of the legislature to pass a
law providing for a bipartisan
board to control the state peniten-
tiaries. As the latter named paper
did not support the gopernor at all
in his campaign, in his race for gov
ernor, naturally he has paid scant
attention to its gratuitous advice.
However, in a message to the Gen.
eral Assembly on Wednesday, the
Governor clearly and frankly sets
forth his position in the matter,
which ought to satisfy every fair
minded man that he has taken emf
nently the proper position in the
premises throughout the whole af-
fair. The motive Of this special
message was to urge especial econo-
my by the legislature in its passage

from the preceding republican ad- |
ministration, and from the tenor of |
his remarks one may well Judge that
he will nse the veto az vigorously
and well upon all appropriation
measures which are not of absolute
necessity at this time. He urgently
suggests that it were well to
get the state ont of debt before pill
ing up further expenses upon an al
ready depleted treasury.
Respecting the enactment of a
number of bills which have already
been placed before him for signature

opposite front and hind legs lag together in the hind stroke. Only pacer uses his legs in this wise, and no pacer ever achieved the speed of runner. And again, no donkey was ever known ;o pace until arriving at the age where its ears dropped and it's best gait was mere ly an ambe.
 But seriously speaking Colonel Harvey knows full well the fast gaits of horses and mules and donkeys and he knows that of all quadrupeds only the occasion al horse and the camel ever acquired the pacing gait.
 The pace looks rampant and Is noisy but it isn't fair for so good and loyal democrat as Colonel Harvey to mount his chosen candidate upon slow animal at best and then change the natural run ming legs to pacing ones
 Even the government Horse Book will tell him that the father of the great American mule don't know the gait
 It is up to Harper's to make full apol- ogy or produce a pacer of the persuasion quadruped pictured in that cartoon.
