LAFoLLETTE VS.. ROOSEVELT.

hfA WILLIE liz SSs hOOSEVEE l..
Regardless of his consignment to
the political hospital by some news
papers and politicians, Senator La
Follettes press bureau insists that he
is still in the campaign for nomina-
ton. The latest bulletin from the
Wisconsin mans headquarters is
notable for its frank evidence of a
break between the senator and Colonel
Roosevelt. This paragraph is some
thing of a sizzler:
"The Roosevelt campaign. as at
present conducted, is equally unfor.
tunate 1t will be found in every To-
cality to consist of reactionary poll
ticians, in some cases even disreput
able politicians, who are seeking to
force down the throats of voters the
allegation that Roosevelt is the pro
gressive Republican candidate fol
President. They are doing this as the
best means for rehabilitating them
selves by appropriating the use of the
term progressive.
The Peoria Herald-Transcript has a
word of comment on this that is both
pertinent and pointed. 1t suggests
that Senator LaFollette evidently
doesn't care to catch any flies that
can't stand a good, strong dose OF
vinegar.

L. A moderate love of fine raiment
is normal in the youth of both sexes:
therefore, beware of the girl that
wears too many gew-gaws, or too few.
The latter may turn into slattern--
the former into a fiirt.
2. Don't mistake wil1fulness for
character. A strong character mani
tests itself in poise, cheerfulness and
sensibility-not in flashes of temper.
3. Don't mistake restlessness for
energy, either mental or physical. It
is simply the clatter of the exhaust
when the wheel is out OF water.
q. Look out for the girl that is too
enthusiastic over babies in your pres
ence. She doesn't mean It. If she
did. she wouldn't say anything about
it.
5. Look out for the girl that is all
tendrils. The clinging vine becomes
mighty tedious along about forty.
g. Look out for the girl that is
anxious to let you know she is pre-
pared to overlook your faults. This
means that, for her, the market is
dull.

OPPOSED TO KENYON BILL.

A vigorous letter OF protest against
the enactment Of the Kenyon and
Webb measures which seek to compel
shippers of liquors to have foreknowl-
edge of the intentions of consignees
in interstate transactions has been
sent to every member of the house
and senate at Washington, by T M.
Gilmore. president of the National
Model License League. Mr.. Gilmore
maintains that the enactment of such
bill would be parallel to the enact
ment of a law to punish the manu-
facturers of all of the various articles
of commerce that might be misused
by consignees, and would be on all
fours with the passage of an act to
punish the shipper of knife in case
the consignee should use that knife as
a means of violating law The head of
the Model License League goes on
to say
"A large manufacturing concern Ell
gagged in interstate commerce cannot
possibly have cognizance of the inten-
lions of its customers, and SO long as
the laws provide that the consumer
shall have the right to purchase liq-
uors through interstate commerce
channels it would seem to me to be
an unwarranted invasion of the rights
! of the buyer, as well as of the rights
/ Of the seller, TO require the shipper
practically to guarantee the intent OF
| the consignee. In other words, the
Kenyon bill would put upon the ship
/ per the necessity Of seeing 80 it that
4 the consignee shall consume personal
ly all or the liquor that he buys, ano
which, under the law, he has right
to buy
] Previous attempts at Legislation
along this line resulted In the enact
ment of a law that was declared un
constitutional by the supreme court
Whether the Kenyon bill II enacted
into law will escape invalidity on the
same ground remains to be seen.

SURGERY IN ANCIENT TINES
Hlppocrates Wrote Of the Operation
Of Trepannlne--Use Of Stone
implements.

There is no doubt that some rough
form Of surgery must have existed
from very ancient times, but it is
strange to find that so complex and
delicate an operation as trepanning
is one Of the oldest.
So far as actual records go, Hip
pocrates gives us the earliest account.
He wrote treatises on fractures, dis
locations and wounds Of the head,
in which he described the method Of
procedure to be followed in the case
of a fractured skull. His direction
was to cut away a piece of bone so
that the pressure on the brain might
be relieved.
There are also records about this
time and later of a file being used
for this. purpose, which at a time
when anesthetics were undreamed Of
must have been, to say the least,
palnIul.
According to DR.. T. Rice Holmes,
the operation of removing pieces Of
bone was performed long before his
toric times. The effects on the skull
are easily seen after death and are
visible so long as the bones are pre-
served.
From inspection of certain skulls
of the later stone age in ancient
Britain DR.. Holmes has come to the
conclusion that some of these ha,
undergone the operation, which mus
have been performed with a ston

New Order In Lyon County.

Our good friend and neighbor. N,
+ Gaines, editor of the Eddyville
Herald, has the right idea of hand
ling the night riders, and Ly o n
county should congratulate itself
that he is resident,
Mr.. Gaines was out of the county
the other night when some night
riders scraped and ruined fifteen to-
bacco plant beds, but as soon as he
got home, he sought out the authori-
ties for a conference, in an effort to
get them to act promptly to try to
apprehend the offenders.
1t is also cause for self-congratu-
lation for Lyon County that every
one of its officials was quick to de-
nounce the outrages and pledged
himself to use the resources of his
Office to aid in finding the guilty
persons.
This is in direct contrast to the
sentiment in Lyon county a few
years ago. Then the county officials
condoned the offense, and in many
quarters were charged with sympa-
thy for the night riders. 1t was
almost next to the impossible to find
anyone brave enough to denounce
the night riders and their methods,
and the two county officials who did
take a firm aw and order stand were
forced to guard night after night
for many months each others lives
and homes. Annals of that reign of
terror present nothing savoring
more of outlaw days than those
alternate all-aiGht vigils of County
Judge Crumbaugh and County AT
torney Walter Krone, one sleeping
wtile the other watched with gun at
hand.
NV, sentiment has changed M.
Gaines found the county officers ana
prominent citizens eager to contrib
ute to fund to be offered as a re-
ward for the arrest and conviction
of the offenders and a thousand do
lars was raised in few minutes.
We shall be greatly interested in
the de ,elopment and trust arrests
will follow quickly. Lyon can make
a new record for itself. Will it do

PROVES ANT HAS MEMORY
Scientist Makes Series Of Experiments
Showing How Insects Rea-
son Things Out.

Experiments are continually be-
ing made to test the memory Of ami
mails, such as the elephant, the dog,
the bull but it would seem thank
less undertaking to ascertain wheth-
er the ant has a memory. Neverthe-
less, a scientist in South America
thinks he has succeeded. Isolating
two Of the largest specimens of trop-
ical ants he could find, he so ar
ranged their receptacle that they
could get no food without climbing
over a circular slant into another
compartment. Over this slant, when
the food was not there, he placed
crimson cord and the ants very soon
learned to interpret the signal and
never attempted to climb over it.
Thinking, after a time, that there
might be something in the color
which repealed them automatically,
as the bull is affected unpleasantly
by red, he replaced the red cord by
cords of varying colors, always with
the same result after the ants had
made few excursions over the
slant and come back hungry. Then
he tried plain cloth and even paper,
but the result was invariably the
same. After a number of trials the
ants refused to climb the slant when
there was any sort of Signal" FL
nally the scientist reversed the sig
nal, having food beyond the slant
only when it was visible; and after
an infinite number of trials the ants
accommodated themselves to the
change.
