CURRENT COMMENT


That the modern desire is universal among
men of deeds to make use OF the pen has been
demonstrated once more by the volume pub
lished by the heir to the German throne. cnti-
tied From My Hunting Diary" who like his
lliustrious father, is seeking literary express
sion and whose book is well written and quite
readable.
In some periods OF history the ability to per-
form deeds generally was regarded as abso-
lutely exclusive of the ability to portrait them
by rehearsal. Narrative skill in medieval
times of romance was considered unmanly.
Only troubadours court testers tellers
of tales and singers of songs, knights and
squires devoting themselves to the more seri-
ous at least more concrete, business of love
or war. But in all periods OF creative eras in
history the desire for literary expression has
gone hand in hand with action. one supple
menting the other And today, in what Is the
greatest OF all creative periods one Of its most
remarkable phases is the vast output of the
written word. A universal consciousness is
alert TO hear and 10 tell. AS never before the
doors of deeds also are the narrators OF them.
The names of those who are prominent today
in public affairs. with few exceptions may be
associated with the making OF books or of
periodical literature as well with the maxi
ing of policies parties. Wilson Bryan. Root.
Roosevelt, Champ Clark. BeVeridge the late
John Hay are only few OF those who in
national politics have emulated versatility
that a century ago was rare, Carnegie. J. j.
Hill, and Lawson prove that even high finance
or colossal business interests cannot kill the
literary instinct. Artists, sculptors, architects.
soldiers sailors, aud arbitrator, missionaries,
even prize fighters. or ball players, marathon
winners all write eagerly of their works, or
exploits, or dreams.
That royalty is not exempt from this desire
for expression has been demonstrated by the
Kaiser and now by his son: by the famous
poetess Carmen sylvia and by the ever-youthful
former Queen Alexandra of Observation-Disclosures

ONLY TECHNICAL STREET OBSTRUCTION

The r., F. aud F. railroad makes complaint
at the construction which might be placed upon
an editorial of yesterday regarding its obstruc-
ton of streets.
We are bound TO admit, after hearing the
particular explanation, that the complaint has
basis from which to project itself.
Noting that the railroad had been fined in
the Police Justices court for "obstructing traf-
hc" for seventeen minutes. came TO the
natural conclusion that the train complained OF
lay across the street. while street cars automo-
hles. trucks, pedestrians, and others cooled
their heels in poor imitation OF the patience
that should be--but is not-a virtue of those
who simply happen along when a corporation
wishes to do something,
After looking at a map OF the particular
locality however. II appears very plainly that
there was no real obstruction, in the sense
that the public was unduly Inconvenience
Justice Johns decision must have been plainly
based on the letter of the law, rather than its
spirit. The appeal OF the railroad. which we
criticized was for the legitimate purpose OF
having it determined exactly what the Law is.
without going into particularities OF location.
etc let us say that the case presented was that
OF string Of cars lying parallel with tray-
eled thoroughfare, with plenty OF opportunity
for all sorts of traffic to go both ways past
this train No street blocked" in the
sense that it was temporarily closed to the
business that naturally would go over it. In
the trial In the Police Justices Court, the de-
cfslon of Justice John that an ordinance
prohibiting obstruction" OF the streets had
been violated. The question on appeal will
therefore be whether the presence Of cars in a
thoroughfare with lane left open for traffic.
can be considered an obstruction within the
meaning OF the law.--or whether it cannot be
so considered.
II is therefore only fair TO say that the ap-
peal taken was not in the way Of violating
public opinion, but rather of getting con-
struction OF the public will manifested in
the laws.

BLIND MANS SIGHT RESTORED
Piece of Cornea From Dead Animal,
TranspIanted, Is Hailed as Tri-
umph Of Surgery.

The French Academy of Sciences an
nounces the success of an operation
on a blind man, performed seven
months ago and watched carefully
ever since.
A workman had an eye burned by
auicklime, so that the cornea had be-
come opaque. It has long been the
dream of scientists to transplant the
cornea from animals to man, but so far
this has been tried without success.
This transparent cornea is one Of
the most delicate parts of the human
organism. Very soon after death, or
after the removal of the eye from
living person, for that matter, it be-
comes opaque and begins to break up.
But M. Magitot has found a way to
preserve its transparency. In the case
In question it had been kept a week
before piece Of it was fitted into the

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandrutf, Falling,
Faded Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandfathers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are
fifty. Our grandmothers kept their
hair soft and glossy with a "Sage
Tea,'' which also restored the natur-
al color. " .-."
: One objection to using such prep
aration was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York, who has placed on the
market a superior PREPARATION of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other
valuable remedies for dandruff, itch
ing scalp, and thin, weak, falling
hair. -"
The beauty of the hair depends
more on it's rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
a few days; and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and loose
falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy will quickly cor
rect these troubles, and give color,
strength and beauty to your hair.
