Louis:
Il believe in protection. | believe
that IL Mr.. Wilson's tariff-for-revenue-
only policy is adopted and not merely
treated as a campaign cry, wide
spread disaster will result to Ameri-
can life."
Thus ii is shown that even oil and
water will sometimes mix; for, how
ever adverse Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft may be on many issues. their
views on the tariff, the one central
question of the present campaign, are
identical
Mr.. Taft believes in protection,
and, If we are to judge him by his
record. the higher 1t Is the better 1t
suits him.
So does Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft has adopted the fallacious
theory of determining tariff duties
by the difference between the cost of
production here and abroad. . /

THE FAN POCKET.

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining its
position in womans toilette; and even
so daring an innovation as a sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris. the new form of pocket
being chiefly intended as a receptacle
for the tiny fan, which is so much in
vogue at present.
The pocket is usually inserted in the
sleeve lust below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with lace
or chiffon, so that its presence is not
even suspected until the fair Wearer
suddenly produces a miniature en-
broidered fan, apparently out Of her
arm.
The fan pocket is to be round on
either sleeve in a smart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently provid-
ed with a pocket after the same style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan, as in China, the sleeve
pocket has been found so convenient
that it is also used to hold a lace
handkerchief, and there is no douBt
that its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume larger proportions

A MAN OF ONE IDEA.

DR.. Wiley has stepped down and out,
and his enemies are referring to him
as "a man Of one idea"
As d one-idea man he measures up
to honesty and defniteness of purpose
in defence of the health and well-being
of the people; and as a champion for
their protection he has faced all the
forces of unrighteousness for many
years
1t is said he withdraws at the solicit
taG0n Of Mrs. Wiley, and is to accept
the editorship of a household maya

TAFT DID NOT NEED 1T.

When it came TO the matter OF
promptly regulating our relations with
Mexico, President Taft found a quiet
and effective way Of doing It. He held
a conference with the senate commit
ee on foreign relations and with the
congressman Of the border states, and
n a single day inspired congress to act
TO prohibit the sale and shipment OF
arms by Americans to Mexicans who
are not recognized representatives of
The Mexican government. Thus will
an end be promptly put to a practice
that gave the Mexican government
some cause Of complaint that neu-
-rsIity laws were not strictly observed
and that Americans were aiding the
rebels. There was no fuss about the
matter.

AFTERNOON TEA.

American girls are fast falling into
a hospitable custom long practiced by
their English cousins-that of serving
afternoon tea on any and every occa-
sion.
The beverage itself may be diluted
in fact, its coloring may be palest
amber-bat tea it must be.
For is there anything which lends
such an air of hospitality to drawing
room, boudoir, or even the tiniest
bachelor girl quarters, as the well
equipped tea table, ready at a; mo-
ment's notice for proffering the cur
which cheers?
Since the revival of the tea fac many
quaint, old fashioned tea sets of grand
mammals and great gTandmamma'

hiding places and pressed into service

crs with broken noses and sugar bowls
with pronounced cracks and apertureS
have been restored and again made

THE SQUARE DEAL CANVASS.

Those who once believed sincerely
u Colonel Roosevelt had a right to
expect that i'm going into a political
canvass against his beloved friend
Taft he would have been careful to
have selected for his political lieu
tenants square dealing men, but in
their endeavor to knock out the con-
rehton method of electing delegates
n the midst Of a canvass it does not
.5ok as if fair play was the watchword
NJ those having the matter in hand.
How they win victories is learned
from the Kansas City Journal as fol-
lows.
Vow that the people Of this local
Ity have had time to consider the
primary iasco in which the Roosevelt
strength was shown in jackson county,
l- must occur to them that this is
The sort Of thing which has been Gre

Springs and again at Kansas City tao
ties Of the Roosevelt supporters divid-
ed the republican delegations, and both
fights must be taken to the national
committee for adjustment. In both
contests the methods adopted by the
Roosevelt men were irregular and il
legal.
These samples close at home Of
the method Of showing the 'spontane-
Gus demand Of the voters for Roose-
Welt are enlightening. They are fair
examples, doubtless, of the sort Of
thing that has been going on in vari-
GUS other states. In Kansas City the
Roosevelt sentiment has been repre-
scented as unusually strong. This has
been considered one Of tine Coloners
strongholds. Yet the showing made
by the Roosevelt forces in a thorough
ly advertised primary was actually
pitiful"
The Journal concludes its review Of
the Roosevelt campaign as follows:
"Au the whooping Of the Roosevelt
press, all the work of the ward and
precinct leaders failed to bring out
more than a small fraction of the re-
publican voters in Kansas City and
Jackson county.
The result in Kansas City was
herslded far and wide by the Roose-
velt boosters as an Overwhelming vic
tory, when as a matter of fact it was
an ingloriOus fizzle. Ii is the evident
purpose Of the Roosevelt managers
TO create contests wherever they fail
To- gain delegates legitimately If the
same tactics are pursued in other dis
tricts and states as were employed in

the hair than to restore it, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand

made a sage tea and their dark
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in using
sage tea for their hair and are fast
following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of the past in that it can get
a ready -to-use preparation called

storer this preparation is vastly su-
