The MEXICAN WAY.

''The nearest approach to an indie
pendent newspaper in Mexico City
appears to be frank and entirely undis-
turbed in comments on the recent cleo
ton. II speaks Of the votes that the
HIerta-Blanquet ticket got and then
takes up the question as TO whether
or not they would have gone 70 some
other candidate had not Huerta's name
been used as q candidate
The paper says II is clear these votes
would net have gone 10 another candi-
date and for the very simple reason
that they were artificial votes, invent
ed and non existent"
The paper goes on TO say that Il is
well known that Gamboa got more real
votes than any other candidate, and
for the reason that he was backed by
a strong party, something approaching
a real party. But he did not get as
many votes as are ccessary under
some Mexican constitution, whatever
that may be: therefore he would not
have been elected had there been no
Hue-ta ticket
But the feature In all this TO which
il is desired to attract attention is the
complacency with which a somewhat
independent paper in Mexico refers TO
invented and non-existent" votes that
were cast for Huerta. II speaks of this
as something well known, also As
something that -tirs cot the least in
dignation-not eve uneasiness-in
Mexico. II IS all in the days doings
and goes as z matter OF course.
Wei. why should any OF US trouble
ourselves TO call a situation like that
republican form of government? Is
there in it the possibility OF repub-
lie? II there is IL must be that a re-
public doesn't amount 10 much.

with which all honest persons must
regard this sneaking, low-browed and

hang around the private desks of
prominent business or public men TO

An effort has been made to embar-
rass the appointment OF Henry NJ Pin
dell, editor OF the Peoria Journal, as
United States ambassador TO Russia.
Some OF the private correspondence
between Senator Lewis and Mr.. Pin
dell on the subject of the appointment
has been made public with the evil
dent purpose of compromising Mr.. Pin
dell and discrediting him with the
authorities at Washington and ST.
Petersburg.
II is stated that the private CORE
spondence whose publication has
caused the trouble was stolen from
the desk of Editor Pindell and found
its way to a Chicago newspaper with
taste for such news" So far as
this correspondence is concerned, it
does not appear TO contain anything
but what might be spoken or written
in confidence between a senator and
a constituent seeking such a post. The
private interchange Of views between
personal friends on such a subject
may well be supposed TO be such as
neither would desire 10 see in print.

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

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, dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After q few applications
Of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in short time the dan
druf will be removed, and your hair
will no longer come out but will start to
grow as Nature intended 1t should.
Don'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
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back if you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase q bottle today. You win never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it will make in your appearance.
