No Time for Chances.
Springfleld Republican.

Truly. we have again fallen upon un'
happy times like unto those OF lsss, with
the money devil loose again: but since
he is gathering IN all Europe. as well
as America. We may not have his un-
divided attention In the coming presi-
Dental campaign. Notwithstanding ouI
confidence in Coin Harvey as q true
prophet Of the old Coins Financial
school" our admiration for Mr.. Bryan
our faith in the progressives. and our
devotion TO the sleuth methods OF the
present day. we modestly suggest that
in such battle with the money devil
we ought to call on Handsome Harry
the boy detective who yanquished Re
lentiess Rudolph. Let Us take nc
chances.

HOW EDITORS SEE THINGS.


Cleveland Plain Dealer: Again the pub
lie faces that tantalizing statement con-
corning the per capita circulation OF
money. II is ss4.sl, which means a shrink
age In two years OF si1s-although you
may not have noticed II.
Baltimore American: The Steel trust
has been ordered not TO destroy books and
papers after a number are alleged to
have been destroyed. Justice will have
TO do some sprinting with those leaden
feet Of hers II she wants to keep up with
the modern procession.
New York World: II the steam-roller
is called into use at the Chicago con-
ton to flatten out contesting Roosevelt
delegations from southern states. Mr..
Roosevelt will at least be entitled to take
legitimate pride in watching how his
policies are carried out In practical poll
tics.
Springfield Republican. The independent
tin plate manufacturers. who have just
organized themselves into a 500 10000 cor
poration, seem to believe that they have
navigated safely around the anti-trus,
law. At least. they have the assurance Of
their lawyers that Mr.. Wickersham could
not touch them II he had the arms OF the
Almighty. Such confidence in these times
is, however. touching to behold.
st. Louis Republic: A disinherited
nephew expresses the opinion that the
late Edwin Hawley. bachelor. dead at
g. was an old mar at %. because he had
been disappointed In love. From this grew
his mania for money and power. Can II
be possible that all Of our plutocrats are
taking revenge upon the people for the
wrongs inflicted upon them by some
sweet maid many years ago! II 80. lei

No Loafing ON This Job.

The president Of Mexico does not wear

Questions worth studying.

To what extent do our markets reduce
the cost of living? Are prices there
cheaper than elsewhere? Do they bring
the consumer and the Producer into i'm

which might well be taken UP by those
interested In domestic economics with the
view Of determining whether the markets

The Feed Trust.

The Feed Trust.
SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Feb. e-To
the Editor of The Bee: l noticed you
had an editorial on the price OF eggs
few days ago. 1t might be well for you
to write an article to go along with the
other one on the high price Of fee1. With
feed as high In price as it has been for
the last two years but little money is
made on eggs. even when they sell for
10 and 80 cents a dozen That is one rea-
son why so many people quit the business
Of raising poultry when they get into 1t
once. They find themselves up against
the feed trust and find that the feed peo-
pie are the only ones who make any
money out Of the poultry business. In
fact. they make about all there Is to
be made in the business.
When you mention the butter and egg
trusts It might be well to mention the
feed trust. too. for there Is no worse
trust in existence. 1t makes no differ
! ence how abundant crops may be. the
feed trust keeps on raising prices from
year TO year, and In fact from week to
week. until poultry fanciers find that
they are paying all Of their profits to the
feed trust.
Eggs at 80 cents dozen are not In 1t
with wheat at s. per 100 pounds, bran at
n.S per 100 pounds, corn at IS cents a
bushel. and other feeds in proportion.
With millions Of bushels OF wheat In stor-
age right now. II is time the feed trust.
as well as good many other trusts. were

THE. FIRST CRAY
HAIR SIGN Of ACE.
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make It Grow.

u A harmless remedy, made from com.
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
metics and creams to improve the com.
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it is to have
good complexion.
All That IS necessary is the occasional
use OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh.
faded hair, Candruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After few applications
OF this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in short time tho dan
druff will be removed, and your hair
Will no longer come out but will start to
grow as Nature intended it should.
oDon't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy,
this remedy at any drug store for
nifty cents bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back if YOU
are not satisfied after using. a Pur-
chase a bottle today. You will never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it will make in your appearance.
