HISTORY OF FALSE TEETH

From the London Chronicle.
Until little more than. a century ago
humanity had to rub along without false
teeth, of which nowadays one firm alone
claims to sell more than 12 million a year.
The first successful maker was Giusser-
angelo Conf, an Italian dentist, VINO
started practice in Paris in 1898, and,
thanks to his skiliful treatment of I.u-
Glen Bonaparte, soon made his way.
After Years of experiment he discov-
cred the substance from which artificial
teeth are made, and received the gold
medal of the French Academy of Science.
One of the earliest persons fitted with
false teeth was he Empress of Russia.
After Waterloo Fonzi migrated to Lon
don and then to Madrid, where Ferdinand
VII rewarded him with a yearly pension
of a thousand ducats for set of false
teeth

There was a considerable movement %

Iowa, member of. the southern supreme

ern and southern jurisdictions have close
fraternal correspondence. but, like north

is not so easy as it looks. After bodies
holding one general creed are separated
for a long while little differences slip in
and these differences. either in law or
ritual become with time more and more

The Blackstone in Chicago was the

planning the Tutwiler studied the
blackstone and 20 or more other
famous hotels. The Tutwiler may have
appeared TO some lockers on slow of

go slow and be sure that you are right

The contention will doubtless be
raised that the governor had right
to dispose of the money in any way
he saw fit. Legally this may be true.
Morally he was under obligation to
use the money for campaign expendl-

that he was the victim Of a conspiracy
engineered by Charles F. Murphy;
hoped to see him cleansed of the taint
of corruption; wanted to believe in

who have been acting for Mr.. Sulzer
since the beginning of impeachment
proceedings has not been conducive to
confidence in the New York executive.
Sulzer has sought to take advantage
of every technicality and to escape

This will not satisfy Mr.. Suffers ad-
herents. A verdict of mot proven
will not be sufficient. He must
definitely refute the charges which
have been made against his honor.
Much prominence has been given
the attack which he is expected to
make on Tammany Hall and its lead
ers. This will not materially aid Mr..
Sulzer's cause. To show that Tam

CRATER and to be unable to refute
the allegations made against him
would only prove that Sulzer and
Murphy were tarred with the same
stick. Mr.. Sulzer must do more. He
must clear his own skirts first and
then with good grace he may say
what he chooses regarding Tammany.

Daniels to Editors

There is much food for thought in
the address made by Secretary Of the
Navy Josephus Daniels before the
Indiana members of the Associated
Press. Secretary Daniels asked that
the editors of America refrain from
hasty opinions on international prob
lens when the tension is high and
relations delicate.
"When executive action becomes
necessary" says the Secretary, "and
the President before the world takes
stand on any foreign affairs, the
world must know that he is rendering
not personal opinion on any inter-
national matter, but that he is assert
ing the will of the nation which the
people are ready, if need be, to exc
cute by force of arms. At such a
moment attack on the declared for
eign policy of President raises a
question not only of morality and
ethics, but one of loyalty to the gov
ernment."
This is plain talk and to the point
Coming as it does from a member of
the cabinet it may be regarded as

has long called for some such vigorous
utterance from high official. In

sible in the way of the President by
attacking his policy in refusing to

UNLIMITED GUESTS IN LONDON

From the New York Telegram.
London hostesses tre confronted this
year with the most perplexing problem of
late years-the unlimited guest, a person
who has no more nefarious design mone,
for instance, on the spoons) than an even
ing's entertainment at someone else's ex-
pense.
Hostesses, however-unlike the great
Lady Palmerton, who, when shown some
of the uninvited at a crush at her own
house, merely remarked that she hoped
they'd enjoy it--are resolved to put an end
to these intrusions, and it has been sug-
gested that a hostesses union should be
inaugurated.
Ambitious young men with yearning
for society," are said to be the chief Of
tenders. but it is difficult to see how
they improve their chances by their rash
ness. The London girl is very difficult
person to bluff into believing she has met
you before, and that is the unlimited
youths only chance of securing partner,
unless he has the audacity to bring one
with hin--a proceeding before which the
stoutest heart might quail, the risk and
the ignominy of exposure would be so
great.
The possibility of his presence where he
is SO little wanted is due to the confusion
in society since it has outgrown itself.
For where it is the usual thing for new
hostess who has not been much in Lon
don to use friend 'list'' for dance
dn other words, to invite the friend s
friends. and where the friends are al
lowed to bring as many more as they like
provided they are men," and when clubs
are invited wholesale it is obviously I'M
possible to keep a check on who comes.
However. it is going to be done. even If
dances have to be reasonably cool and
comfortable and pleasant in consequence

ALABAMA
From the washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
An altogether regrettable note has been
sounded in the Alabama senatorial cam
paign. Governor ONeal. who is not a
candidate having been assailed by Rep
resentative Hobson, who is, replies in
terms that sizzle. He characterizes Mr..
Hobson as the Pecksniff of Alabama
politics." and says that ''he is the past
master of the art of Billingsgate.'
MIR. Hobsons grievance rests upon the
appointment by Governor O'Neal of Rep
resentative Clayton to the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Senator john
sion. lie holds that the appointment was
made with view OF boosting Mr.. Clayton
for the office in the race before the peo-
pie. Mr. Hobson is an entrant in that
race. Hence his indignation. In his
Judgment Governor O'Neal should have
kept his hands off.
1t is not thought likely that Mr.. clay
ton will be seated. The proper Senate
committee has the case under advisement,
and some of the best lawyers in the Sem
ate hold that in making the appointment
Governor ONeal exceeded his powers.
But this did not soothe Mr.. IIobson. He
struck out as vigorously as If the gov
ernor had seated the man of his choice
and had to shat extent added to the
prestige of the Clayton candidacy against
Mr.. Hobson.
Gov. O'Neals warm words will be dis
counted here as uttered in sudden heat
and passion. Mr.. Hobson has his weak
nesses. He can sight Japanese at long
range, and unravel a deep, dark Japan
ese plot while you wait. He has made a
speciality of oriental subtlety and ag-
sressiveness.
But in his Washington manifestations
he is no such man as Governor ONeal
describes. Rather is he above hypocrisy,
and a dealer in debate in good and seemly
speech.
Let the Alabama race be freed OF this
outbreak, and kept free OF all such. The
state is fortunate in the three men In
the forefront for the Johnston seat. Mr..
Underwood is of presidential size. MIR.
Clayton is leader in the House, and
chairman of the judiciary committee. Mr..
Hobson is a prominent member, and an
influential advocate of an adequate navy.
Any one of the three would give the
state and the democratic party excel
lent service in the Senate.
OF course Governor ONeal had a right
to his preference. and 1T was yery like
a politician to show it. But he may moi
have advanced Mr.. Claytons cause as
much as Mr.. Hobson fears. At any rate
both Mr.. Hobson and the governor should
quiet down, and put their strong Ian
guage In cold storages
