TO have gone to sleep. Outside of
their own counties it looks at the
present time as if Mr.. Fletcher will
carry every county against Mr.. De
Boer. Early in the campaign there
were indications that Mr.. Fletcher
would have serious opposition in
Windsor county, where he lives,
but this expected opposition has
simmered down to explainable
grouches against him existing in his
own town of Cavendish and the town
of Ludlow. Mr.. De Boer, beside the
disadvantage imposed upon himself
by his high and unusual ideal of a
candidacy, is not so widely known
as Mr. Fletcher and so badly lack
ing in the element of personal popu-
larity that there are doubts express
ed as to whether he is heally assured
of a united delegation from Wash
ington county. His friends there
hope to secure for him that compli-
ment, at the least; but some local
wiseacres assured The Herald repre-
sentative that Fletcher will capture
at least one-third of the county del
egates
Among the handicaps which Mr..
De Boer has to carry is the very Sc
rious one of the desire upon the part
of Washington county to secure d
denomination and reelection for Ed
ward H. Deavitt of Montpelier as
state treasurer. Mr. Deavitt has
won statewide favor by his admin
istration of that Office, and naturally
would like to make his tenure cover
the traditional period accorded to his
predecessors. With a rival candi-
date in sight, in the person of w. f.
Scott of Brandon, the people of
Montpelier in particular and Wash
ington county in general, realize
that they are asking for a big share
of pie in presenting to the people OF
the state a candidate for each of two
Gliding which of the two offices con
Germs them most it looks as though
there is more genuine life in Mr.
Deavitts candidacy for treasurer
than in Mr. DeBoer's for governor
1t is an easy inference that, if one
of the two candidates must be dropp
ed, there will be least reluctance in
permitting Mr. De Boer to step down
from the lofty pedestal upon which
he stands, awaiting the call of the
people

The Crisis in Mexico

While the war department has nat
urally taken these precautions, no
encouragement TO war talk is given
by Secretary Stmson or the higher
officers Of the army, who form his
professional cabinet and on whom he
relies for military advice
The president has not swerved in
the slightest from his original inten-
ton to take no step unless it is alb
solutely forced upon him, and should
that situation arise, to do nothing
without first consulting congress.
A man very close to the president
said today that Mr.. Taft was opposed
10 Intervention on two grounds. First
he abominates the thought of war or
bloodshed and is a sincere lover Of
peace; and again, he does not want to
be accused of forcing war with Mex.
leo so as to help his political for.
tunes, as he realizes very well, this
man pointed out, that It would OF
course be said that he knows the
political advantage Of being a war
president.
These views of the president being
so well known, there is no chance OF
his taking any precipitate step, but
Notwithstanding that the men who are
close to him make no concealment OF
the anxiety they feel and the gravity
with which they view the situation
Although this government has
strictly enforced the neutrality pro
clamation and prevented the ship
ment of arms or ammunition across
the border, in some way or other the
rebels are able to get all that they
need as the desperate fight put up by
them against Gen. ALBERT shows.
The courage shown by the revolu
tionists has surprised military mer
here, who did not expect that they
would stand up so well in regular
engagement, and who thought that II
a battle the superior resources OF IN,
government would tell.

Tells Women How to
Have Charming Hair

Rough, coarse hair is unnecessary;
so is faded, dull looking hair.
Dandrun and scalp itch are both
caused by an accumulation Of scurfy
filth and can easily be gotten rid Of.
Dandruff germs cause falling hair
and diseases OF the hair and scalp,
and should be destroyed.
II you have any OF the hair troubles
mentioned above VIM. l.. Gokay will
guarantee PARTISAN SAGE to end
everyone OF them or will refund your
money.
PARTISAN SAGE is delightful
hair dressing that is being used today
by many thousands of lovely Ameri-
cans who detest uncleanliness. Large
bottle so cents.

A LOVE SONG.

Lonely from my home 1 come,
To cast myself upon your tomb
And to weep,
Lonely from my lonesome home,
My lonesome house of grief and
gloom,
While i keep
Vigil often nil night long,
Fer you dear. dear sake,
Praying many a prayer, wrong,
That my heart would break.
Gladly, my bIishted flower,
Sweet apple of my bosom's tree!
Would 1 now
Stretch me Ina your dark death bower.
Beside your corpse, and lovingly
Kiss your brow.
But v'e'if meet ere many a day
Never more to part,
For even now L feel the clay
Gathering round my heart.
In my soul doth darkness dwell,
And through it's weary, winding caves
Everaows,
Ever flows with moaning swell.
One ebbless Hood of many waves
Which are woes.
Death. love has me In fts lures,
but that Erieves not me,
So my ghost may meet with yours
On yon moon-Eoved lea.
When the neftshbors near my cot
| Believe me SUNK fn slumber deep,
L arise
| Cor. oh, IT'S weary lot.
| This Watching, aye, and wooinE sleep
with hot eyes)y
1 arise, and seek your grave,
| And pour forth my tears
While the winds that nightly rave
Whistle in rhine ears.

REMEMBER ROME.

A few days ago we read of the
Roman splenGor that marked the din
ner given by a Washington millionaire
couple. The next day we read that
$4,000 worth of flowers used as decor
atoms were dumped into the ash can.
The dinner cost $500 a plate, by the
expenditure of $4,000 the mansion
was transformed into a fairyland.
grand opera singers entertained, and
the hostess wore half million dol
lars worth of jewelry. one stone, the
Hope diamond being worth $3.50, 900.
The same day you read this there
were in adjoining columns tales about
men out of work, the starving poor,
and tuberculosis ravages.
Things like these are signs of a de.
cadence. If they continue there will
be a reaction and then
Upon streets lighted with gas and
lpatrolled by uniformed policemen,
beggars wait for the passerby, and
| in the shadow of college, and library,
and museum, are gathering the more
hideous Huns and fiercer Vandals OF

ZEN TRUE, BROTHER.

We majors and high privates are go
ing to kick. The whole country is go
ing to the Colonel-or the Devil
which is practically the same thing.
What with Colonel Roosevelt, Colonel
Bryan, Colonel Harvey, Colonel Wat
terson,- Colonel Thompson, Colonel
Dewey, and now Colonel Nathan VIII
liam MacChesney, nobody but a col
lege professor can get a word in edge
wise.
1t may be all right If the colonies
fail to turn over the government to
the professors--tha is, it may be all
right for the colonels and the profes.
sors. But where do we common NOR.
tails come in?
In behalf of the majors, the gener-
ais, the privates-if such there be-
the street car conductors and the or
binary mine run of fellows who don,
wear brass buttons on their vests, or
knobs on their foreheads, we enter
a protest.
| Obviously, we all can't be colonies
or professors, but that don't mean the
rest of us are not entitled to a square
deal-South Chicago Calumet.

SHANK VS.. CASTLEMAN.

The Fort Wayne News pertinently
points out that Lew Shank's candidacy
for governor on the republican ticket
may not prove to be such joke as
some people point out, and says that
before the summer wanes we may be
yelling our heads off for him. This
is quite possible. Listen to what the
luminous Lew says:
II have went all over the state.
ascending upwards as fer as Haw-
patch and descending downwards

saw all the pee-pul. I'm fer them
and they're fer me-"
Now if Lew is candidate on the re-
publican ticket, we take the liberty OF
suggesting as the democratic candi-
date, Alderman Morris Michael Castle
man of Gary, the pee-pul's champeen
for Shank's opponent. The hon
Castleman can spit bigger COB oil

THE VOICE OF LABOR.

The meeting of citizens to discuss
traction problems before the members
of the board of public works at its
morning session yesterday presented
an unusual situation.
Along with the bankers, real estate
men and others delegated by the bust
ness interests of the city were num-
Der of union labor representatives. 1t
may be said that union labor was
ably represented by the men it sent
to that meeting.
1t may be said to the credit of the
union men of the city that its repre-
sentatives were not of the loud talk
ing, unreasoning, aeainst-capital-right
or-wrong, socialistic walking delegate
type that so often misrepresents labor
They were mensopen to reason and
there solely to drive the best possible
bargain for the great community OF
workers whose interest in this ques
ton is vital one.
., They came there not attempting BY
| threats or coercion to force Their
views upon the board and they were
rightfully given as much considera
tion as those who represented the big
| property interests of the community

ANDERSON FOR HONOR.

Judge A. B. Anderson of the In
diana Federal Court, has been
presented to President Taft as
man worthy of promotion to the
Supreme Court bench of the United
States, and certainly Judge Ander-
son is worthy of serious and IA
vorable consideration. Judge An
derson is free from all alliances
that might influence his future
consideration of questions submit
ted to him. and we say this because
of the Influences heretofore pre-
vailing in the selection of Federal
Judges. His personality Is the
best. His knowledge OF law and
grasp of judicial problems, his
courage and honesty qualify him
to the highest degree for promotion
to the United States Supreme
Court Fort Wayne Journal
Gazette.
The people of Hammond would prob
ably subscribe to all of the above wer
it not for the fact that Judge Andei
son adjourned court here once in orde
that he wouldn't have to eat in Han
mond. but our enemies say that is al
other evidence of Judge Anderson

There was no conflict between capital
and labor at this meeting. Capital
recognized the fact that the voice of
labor had the right to be heard and
gave it respectful attention. Labor
recognized the fact that property In
terests are greatly interested in the
wise settlement of the traction prob
lem and gave its arguments every con-
sideration. Each side respected the
opinions of the others point OF view.
And they discovered that after all
they were not SO far apart. The work
ingman demands the extension of
traction lines for the reason that they
enable him to extend the market for
his labor; by building up the whole
community they increase the value of
his home property land nearly every
high class artisan owns his own home
nowdays.)
The business interests of the city
demanded the extension of traction
lines for much the same reason, they
facilitate the movements of the peo-
pie over the whole region and increase
real estate values.
The one question at issue was the
question of the reduction of fares and
| this, in the last analysis, is a question
as to whether or not company can
afford to reduce fares below a certain
limit and still make the investment
pay.
| The labor representatives were sur
prised to learn that many of them had
made proportionately larger profits
out of their little real estate invest
ments than the big financiers had out
of the thousands of dollars that they
have poured into the traction lines of
the region while they were engaged
in the work of pioneering.
They learned from Senator Gavit' S
own lips that he had been compelled to
sell his bonds to some of the bankers
of the region way below par to save
his interurban project from absolute
failure. And these facts were con.
Ifirmed by one of the bankers present
They also learned that there are hun
dreds of investments in the Calumet
region that are more productive than
Green line stock.
The point is that when reasoning
sensible men get together, no matter
liz they are from widely separated
walks of life. and set at the facts they
do not find themselves as far apar'
as they thought they we're before
they talked the matter over.
Labor will undoubtedly get some
concessions in the way Of reduc
ton of fares during working hours
They deserve these. On the othel
hand the men who represented labol
will understand better than ever tina

gold mine and that there is limit t,
the demands that can rightfully b
made of company that is engaged ii

gion.
And It would be better If labor ha,

this kind Disputes between employ
ers and their union employees woul
