Misanthrooy-or Caution?

What could be more refreshing to q
faded sense Of humor than this story,
which the London Daily Mail tells OF
the greatest buttonholer in London?
On his return from winter holiday
this gentleman was telling his ac-
ouaintances at his club in. Pail Mall
that he had been occupying house at
Davos, not far from Mr.. Labouchere,
who, he added, was in very melan-
choly state.
II am truly sorry for that" said one
of his hearers. what IS the matter
with him?"
"Weil," replied the bore, II was out
walking one day when I saw Labou.
chere coming down the lane toward
me. The moment he caught sight OF
me he darted into fir wood which
was close by and hid behind tree till
had passed. Oh, very sad, indeed"

The entry into the national
contest of ex-President Roose-
velt has stirred the nation from
one end to the other. The Dem
ocrats seem to be as greatly
alarmed, as are the Republicans
who are supporting President
Taft for reelection. 1t is our
opinion that nothing could hap
pen better for the Democracy
than for Colonel Roosevelt to
get mis- yarty nomination, be-
cause the Taftites and the in
dependent republican vote would
not support Roosevelt and would
either remain away from the
polls on election day or vote the
Democratic ticket. The nearer
we get to the election the better
is the prospect for Democratic
victory.

has been thriving in this state
for more than generation.
We do not care to undertake to
indicate just at this time the in.
huences behind Judge Jones; but
we have no hesitation in saying
that We believe they are such as
will make thousands vote for
Governor Blease simply because
they do notsee how they can vote
for Jones without stultifying
themselves.
Again there is a large and in.
telligent class in this state which
is SO disguised with political con-
ditions that it deliberately re-
Trains from going to the polls.
This class sees nothing in the
present turmoil and strife except
factional politics These men
should be given an opportunity
to come out and vote without hav-
ing to ldentl1y themselves WIFI d
faction.
OF course we recognize that we
may be entirely wrong; but we
have thought over the matter
seriously and without any selfish
motive so far as we are aware Of.
If we have an "axe to grind we
do not know it. The only consid-

appropriation bill in the hands
of the governor, we do not
know, of course, but we think
he would not have rlddled 1T
quite as severely as he did. We
are inclined to the opinion that
if he had been confronted with
full responsibility he might
have let some of the items ne
vetoed stand as they were. But
at the same time it is quite GER
tain that other items would have
gone by the board, and the gen.
eral assembly acted the part OF
wisdom and prudence in staying
by the thing to the end. "

measure of broad, general impor-
tance-that has been brought for
ward in this state for years, was
the warehouse bill. It seemed to
rise like a sun out of the long
Arctic night. AS much as we desir'
ed TO see the bill become a law: we
confess that we would not have
esteemed it calamity had the
governor vetoed it. Such a veto
would have meant that two-thlrds
of the members of the general
assembly would have had to be-
come it's defenders on the stump.
and Hon. John L. McLaurin, au-
thor OF the bill, would have been
compelled to canvass the state
for governor. Just think of a
speech by Mr.. McLaurln in every
county in the state like that he
made before the committees OF
the house and senate recently,
and the educational value Of the
same being further amplifed by
the legislative and other candi-
dates. No, it would not necessar.
| lily have meant the election of Mr..
McLaurin as governor, and that
perhaps would not have matter
ed, put the educational value of
such a campaign would have been
beyond estimate.
We do not desire to make any
secret of the fact that we think
Mr.. McLaurin woald make a
good governor, and We may as
we'll confess too. that we have
tried to persuade him to become
a candidate; but he has firmly de-
cilned except on the conditions
recently announced and as those
conditions failed to materialize,
we are not considering him any
further.
According to our view the re-
election Of Governor Blease or
the election of Judge Jones will
indefinitely continue the present
unspeakaole conditions, and the
only hope Of permanent relief
from these conditions is Il give
and take agreement upon some
bic. broad man who can occupy

Aged, Wrinkled Faces
 Easily RejuUenGted
lFrom The Reantv seekerl

An aged face is often only mask to a comparatively youthful person. Beneath is eountenance young and fair to look upon. It's a. simple mat ter to remove the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, Go be had at any drug store, gradually absorbs the worn-out surface skin. in week or two the user has the loveiest pinky, white complexion Imaginable An ounce of the wax usually is sufficient to com plete the transformation. It Is put on at night like cold cream and taken off in the morning with warm water.
 This remarkable treatment is inva- riably effective nc matter how mud dy, sallow or discolored the compiler ion. F'reckles mothpatches, liver spots, pimples, blackheads and other cutaneous blemishes naturally vanish with the discarded skin.
 To remove wrinkles and fabbiness, here is a recipe that cannot be too highly recommended: Powdered sax olite. 1 oz.. dissolved in I5-pint witch hazel Use as a wash lotion.
