AN EXPERIMENT STATION

Apparently there's no limit to
the duties expected of a policeman
in Chicago. They're supposed to
be ready for any undertaking that
may be of ultimate benefit to the
public. Something new in this line
came up in one of the municipal
courts the other day and one of
the .city's guardians was ordered
to place himself at the service of a
hair-tonic specialist as a subject
for experiment.
The case at issue involved alleged
fraud of the manufacturer, the
plaintiff averring that the prepare
ton was fake so far as the ur-
enlargement of thatcb is con-
cerned. The. sponsor of the tonic
contra6icted this assertion and the
judge was in somewhat of a
dilemma until he spied the shining
pate of an officer, who wasn't al
lowed to wear his hat in the court
room.
Like a Solomon he hit upon a
decision. He put the manufacture
er under bond for year aid
ordered him during this time to
produce pompadour effect on the
policeman. The latter had no part
in the conference. He has only
to obey orders.
If the experiment succeeds he
will have the high cost of living
increased the price Of hair cuts.
now unnecessary. according to all
descriptions. If it fails he will
have had a lot of extra trouble
for nothing.
1t might he figured that he is
ahead of the game because he is
supposed to get free treatment.
But there's no evidence that he
wished any such favor and if he
protests against obeying the
mandate that let the judge out of
dilemma he may pay penalty for
contempt of court.
He may get enough fame out of
it to qualify as a comic opera star
when he's through. but consider
ing present conditions of the
stage, that doesn't contribute tc
the proposition that a policeman
lot is not happy one. There's
no danger he may not be called
upon to face in the Windy city
Anaconda Standard.

BUSINESS OUTLOOKIFOR 1872

The small business man, the
independent adventurer into fields
of commerce, real estate. farming
and manufacturers going to make
himself felt In 1912 more than he
has in many years preceding. One
of the chief duties of legislation
and of executive, enforcement of
existing laws is to see that the
business man of moderate capital
and personal initiative, is not
crushed in the struggle upon
which he is entering. -.
He represents competition.
He is its living embodiment.
He is not a trust fighting
another trust-that is two evils
instead of one.
He is positive good.
He is a return 70 the competitive
principle about. which we have ali
been saying so much.
He, if anybody. ,exemplifi4s the
truth that competition is the life
of trade, ...
A worthy corolary to sane
recognition to the variety and
magnitude of the business problem,
is equal recognition of the fact
that in 1911 more than in any
prior year American business

DOWN IN CARSON

Judge Dewitt E.. Turner "The
Laureate" of Reno, recently
visited the old town of Carson, and
he gives his impressions of the
place to the Western Nevada Miner
in the following verses:
You can hear wild turkeys sneeze
Down in Carson in the trees;
Now and then you hear an owl y
And coyotes nournful howl
Down in Carson.
The town is SO awful dead - " >
That natives stay in. bed;
When through gawking at the train
They rush back to bed again.
Down in Carson. f..
Like farm to all intents
Only lacks barn yard fence:
It's so quiet there at night
Even cats stav out of sight.
Down in Carson.
The old-timers full of talk
All about the Old Comtock; =
And they keep on Ger and Ger
Probing at. the same old sore,
Down in Carson. ..... .,
Windows out rags in their place,
Towels gone-can't wipe your
face;
Water cold-no pillow slip,
In Carson's old Zulu ship,
Down in Carson. &c.,
Cows down there suck themselves,
Just to break their sleepy spells;
BOOSTERS all forget to crow,
Pretty though, I'd 1T you know,
Down in Carson.

Yesterday Theodore Roosevelt
announced his intention to become
a candidate for president if the
majority of his party wants him.
He will kick up pretty fight in
the republican camp and one that
will not end at the national con-
vention. IT will now be in order
for practical men," like the late
E. II. Hartman and en- alefactors
of great wealth" like ]. p. Morgan
to rally to his standard. Of all
the political hypocrites that ever
cursed this country, Theodore
Roosevelt easily heads the list.
Certain western papers are dis
posed to make merry over the
reported cracking Of the earth in
Jake's valley in this county. The
Salt Lake Tribune lays the crack
ling to the smiling of Nevada over
the present high prices of silver
and copper. Other papers scent
scandal in the bill introduced by
Senator Newlands to fence that
portion of the public domain
where these cracks occur. To
our facetious and undertaking
brethren. we would say that the
aforesaid cracks are anything but
a joke to the cattlemen who have
lost much valuable stock thereby
and Furthermore, that no one will
be injured by the fencing to be
authorized by Senator Newlands'
bill. Ely Record.

the chief sinner in throwing away

for the use of the commission is
about gone. The purchase of

NO INTERVENTION LIKELY.

With the advance information that the report of the senate sub-commit tee named to investigate the revolu- tions in Mexico is likely to report fa- vorably to intervention, 1t cannot but appeal to the people at large that they have such safe d man in the presidential chair, who does not intend to plunge this country into strife ex- cspt as last resort It is undoubt- edly true that the committee's inves- ugat1on has resulted in determining the fact that Mexican revolutionists have received aid from this country. and 1t Is fact that all aid to Orozco. the rebel leaders, at the present time. has been stopped shipments of dyna- mite across the border, where it is ex- tensively used for mining, even being denied, that, whatever the error on former uprisings, the intention is now to check all such aid from this coun- try, upon which all such revolutions depend.
 It would be a most unwise step for this country to plunge into war with Mexico, and it is with satisfaction hat the country at large understands hat the president is not given to any such nasty and dangerous action. This IS not the age when uncomfortable am- bitions should be allowed to sway judgment. It is evident that the bad example of aiding previous revolution ists has been stopped in this revolu. ton, and 1t will be the insistence upor such abstinence that will reduce Mex ico's uprisings. Diplomacy rather thar oloodshed can better settle the exist. ing trouble.

HE REPUBLICAN, CLUB.

It is likely that, the determination to organize republican club here will be accompanied by an enthusiastic re- sponse and the prospects seem ex- ceedingly bright for the establishment of a branch of the National Repuoli- can league to cooperate with the re- publican town committee in advanc- ing the interests and principles of the republican party. Such 8 club has wide field for operation and its or ganization has the endorsement of the town committee. It is time that some local organization should be launched for the pushing of the interests of the party in national, state and local elec- tions. It is of vital importance to the party and to the voters at large that such a force be set at work to insure the success of the party nominees.
 This effort of the National league is being heartily received throughout the state, and large working clubs. which will be permanent, are being formed, and they can give great in1- petus to the work of the town com mittees It is a force which is deeply interested in the advancement of re- publican principles. It has done a wonderful work under the guidance of John Hays Hammond and at time when the new party movement is aim ing to defeat the republican party and bring about the election of free trade president and congress, its work is particularly appropriate. Norwich republicans should find in the club an organization for furthering and bet tering its interests in every way. It should get large working member ship,

THE FLEET MOBILIZATION.

That will be a magnificent display of vessels of the Atlantic fleet which gathers in New York harbor next week for review by President Taft. This will be the greatest exhibition of war ships with which a harbor has been favored and should attract u small ar my of sightseers. With 122 warships lined up for inspection it will be an imposing sight and will far out-dis- tance the review of the German fleet in the North sea last month by Emperor William. Not only more vessels. but larger guns; in fact. there will be eight fS-inch guns, of which the Ger
 man vessels had none. and of the smaller size guns the American fleet will have many more than was car ried by the German vessels. These vessels will have 27O0O enlisted men and 1000 commissioned officers.
 These great floating forts are all necessary in the maintenance of peace and while the display of these vessels of the Atlantic fleet will distance others, 1t does not mean that this is the leading naval power. The Ameri- can navy is among the leaders, as if should be, with it's extensive coast line. but the policy adopted by the recent congress failed to contribute to the yearly quota which was demanded to keep 1t in line with the naval con- struction of the other powers. Battle- ships come and go without participant ing In warfare. but the expense is jus tiaable from the fact that far greater sums would be spent and lives sacri- feed in conflicts which they prevent.

UNIFORM CHILD LABOR LAWS.

Throughout the country strong lef- fort is being made in behalf of the children and the reduction in the amount of child labor, which in many sections is surprisingly large Many states have taken up the matter and put through the legislature laws which require compulsory schooling until fourteen, and laws which provide a penalty for employing children under certain age. The welfare of the chil- dren and the nation is of such import ance as to make the necessity of this Legislation perfectly obvious. Upon 1t depends the future of the country and it's people. Every child should get at least a common school educa- tion to fit him to properly take care of himself through life, be a better citizen and a benefit to society i'll general. Experience in business, and all lines of work. Is necessary, but 1t needs the foundation at least of such an education as the common schools afford, if 1t is impossible to- get more, to bring out the best in the individual.
 Many forces are at work today in the interests of the children. The child's bureau established but a few months ago by the president, is des- tined to be an important factor in bet tering conditions where children are concerned, while the national organ izations which are devoting their en- tire energy to the reduction of child labor and the adoption of child labor laws, which will be uniform in all states, are doing "a grand work. The abolition of child labor would be the best thing for all concerned, the em- pIoyer as well as the employe.

PEACE, PROGRESS, PROTECTION
 PROSPERITY.

At the Michigan state republican convention there was unusual enthus- iasrn among the republicans, and It was a noticeable fact that this was particularly so in the endorsement of the republican administration and President Taft. It is interesting to note the reason in that section for the shrewd and sensible men of that state taking such a united stand, and this is the way the Detroit Free Press sees it:
 MT. Taft's first term has brought PEACE. The nation has had four years of tranquil relations with the world It has been peace with honor. America stands today pre-eminent on earth. Her diplomacy has been firm, conserving the due rights of the Unit ed States, infringing on the rights of none, defending with dignity what Is our own, asking nothing that is not our own. Peace at home and abroad that Is one result of the last four years of republican control of the na- tion's government.
 Tt has been a time of PROGRESS. In federal and state affairs there has been no backward step, Safely and saneiy we have gone ahead. The lot of the less fortunate has been i'm proved. Our laws have been adjusted to bring more equitable distribution of burdens. Not in all the reckless de- mands of agitators, but in every way that experienced and wise judgment indicated to be for the betterment of our relations with one another the course of events has been onward and upward. Progress is second result of this administration efforts.
 PROTECTION has been maintained. The industries of the nation have been safeguarded from disastrous com- petition with alien peoples. The la- borer has been saved from disastrous reduction of wages to the level of for eign lands. He enjoys the highest re- turn for his work that is received anywhere on earth. He has abundant opportunity for occupation, for our manufactures are busy and their de- mand for workers is incessant. The employer and the farmer are equally content They are making good re- turns on their investments. They find a market for all they can produce, and they can pay liberal wages to their employees and still satisfy themselves with their returns.
 ''The sum of all these is PROSPER R. ITY. Throughout the land all are busy. all are content
 Peace, Progress. Protection and Prosperity is what everyone wants. It is at accomplishment upon which res iiance can be placed and President Taft is the best .equipBed with record of past performance, platform and att titude to continue such for the benefit of country and voter. :,
