BYE-ELECTIoN IN ENGLAND

Yesterdays English bye election in
South Westmoreland is noteworthy for
the fact that the successful Conserva-
tive candidate was an avowed free
trader. As commander of Territor-
ia1 battalion in the constituency for
fifteen years, Col. Weston was well
known and popular and his party
turned to him to save the seat. He
had never made any concealment of
his free-trade views. These, in fact,
had been so pronounced as to keep
him out of sympathy with the recent
Unionist management and to prevent
his taking any active share in county
politics. Moreover, Col. Weston was
not even rabid on the subject of Lloyd
George, and the Insurance act; and to
add to the wonder of his candidacy,
was not f1erce1y against Home Rule
for Ireland. His words were: eff III
ster can be brought to see that some
compromise is fair and reasonable, I
should welcome it, Yet heterodox
al he thus was on two main points of
Conservative doctrine, Col. Weston
was elected by a majority some 200
greater than the 3O8 by which the
Unionists won in 1910. What tI1is
proves would puzzle the Scotchman
who asked what Paradise Lost prov
ed. 1t will, however, undoubtedly
have the effect of cheering the free
trade Unionists, and stiffening them
in their determination to throw over
as soon as possible the protectionist
policy which Joseph Chamberlain i'm
posed upon their party.-New York
Post.

HOW TRUE THIS is.

A dispatch from Dover states that,
with only three more States needed,
Delaware has refused to join the eff
hrn1ative States in ratifying direct
election of United States Senators. 1t
is always inspiring to see a man or a
State that dares to be in the right
with two or three; but much as we
should like to be able to applaud little
Delaware, we are constrained to say
that the assertion of independent
thought on this particular subject
would have come with better grace
from some other of her forty-seVen
sister States. Indeed, If there were
any need of further argument on the
subject of direct election of Senators,
very strong one would be supplied
by the fact that the Legislature of the
State which has furnished the classic
example of debauchery of it's eIecto-
rate through the existing method is
counted against the reform. New

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Eat Peanuts and Grow Fat
By BLANCHE BEACON

There are many methods of gaining
flesh but the very latest and newest
way is to eat peanuts, for, I would
have you to know, the oil of the pea
nuts is extremely fattening. 1 defy
a persistent peanut eater to stay thin,
even if she wishes to.
Under these circumstances, it would
be well for those of you who are al
ready too stout to blacklist peanuts.
AS to the slender girl who prides her
self on her angles, it is evident that
not a peanut must pass her lips. This
odd but attractive diet is only for
those who are thin and like not this
condition of affairs.
If you abhor the idea of continually
gest that you invest in a pint of peanut
oil and dose yourself with it several
times daily. 1t is not unpleasant to
take, at least, not quite so much so
as olive oil.
If you are in no great haste to pile
on flesh, it will suffice to take a tea
spoonful of this oil after meals, but
the usual dose is two tabIespoonsful
after each meal and before going to
bed This quantity of oil has been
known in certain cases to cause a
weekly gain of four pounds of firm
healthy flesh!
While it is quite likely your drug
gist will not carry peanut oil doubt
less he will gladly order it from away
if you ask him to. This helpful oil
only costs fifty cents pint so you
can see the matter of expense need not
stand between YOU and the much-to-
be-desired pounds of flesh.

The first serious mistake of Napo-
Icons career, and one which was not
without it's effect in bringing about
his subsequent downfall, was the ex-
ecution of the Duke d'Enghien 100
years ago to-day. The Duke, accused
of conspiring to bring about the res
toration of royalty, was arrested in
Baden, though on neutral territory,
hurried to the castle of Vincennes,
near Paris, speedily tried before a
military tribunal, convicted and shot
on March ri, 1904. The irregu1arfty
of this procedure caused widespread
mitigation and a1ienated many of Ma
poIeon's warmest supporters. It is
still looked upon as one of the worst
crimes of Napoleon, and at st. Helena,
rejecting over his past, the Man of
Destiny himself concluded that it was
his worst mistake The Indignation
aroused by this deed spread to other
countries, and was similar to the hor-
ror aroused by the murder of the Ser
Wan king and queen, the legal assas-
sination of F'errar by the Spanish gov
eminent, and the Staying of President
Madero of Mexico.

LENDING MONEY TO CHINA

President, Wilson has taken the Unit
ed States government out of the six
nation combination to lend money to
China. We believe that this is the
right step for this country to take.
We hope that it will result in Ger
many cutting herself loose from that
arrangement, and perhaps Japan Eng
land, France and Russia are so bound
together in various ways that no par
ticular change of method is likely on
their part
1t is sufficient to say in condemna-
ton of this six-nation scheme to re-
heve the new China's financial needs
that it did not relieve them. This
fact alone is fatal to the scheme.
But the fault of the scheme went
further than this. This six-nation
group not only failed to furnish Chi
ma with the money needed to place
her on her feet under the new repub-
ican form of government, but the
group worked hard, and, with the ex-
ception of some $25, 0O0, 900 obtained
from private London bankers, with
excellent success, to prevent China
from getting the needed money from
anybody else. A financial combina-
ton under the control of the six most
civilized governments of the world
which manages not to lend its own
money for the purposes for which it
was organized-at least nomidlally-
and which interposes direct obstacles
to, prevent other capitalists from af-
fording the needed financial assist
ance which it was designed to furnish
itseI-and the need of which there
fore cannot be questioned-is certain
Iys a ridiculous thing, assuming that
it has been conducted in good faith.

this is not to be taken literally-the

it away among the moth balls. She

her arrival this year ahead of Easter.

Good Friday, observed to-day
throughout the Christian world, is
aracterized at the Spanish royal
court by quaint and ancient ceremon-
les that have prevailed for. centuries.
King Alfonso, as usual, will perform
the ceremony of washing the feet of
a number of his poorest subjects,
brought in from the byways of Mad
rid, and afterward will wait upon
these men at dinner in the palace.
Grandees and mobiles of Spain remove
the shoes and stockings of the men,
after which the Bishop holds basin
while the monarch washes the feet
and afterward kisses them After
this act of humility the guests take
their place at table. An elaborate
menu is served, but no meats. The
Bishop blesses the dishes, which are
then handed to the King, who places
them before the poor men. Queen
Victoria is not required to take part
in this ceremony, although in the case
of a reigning queen the requirement
is that she must wash the feet of poor
women.

Herman Henry Koh1saat, who, off
and on, has been editor and publisher
of most of the big newspapers of Chi
cago, was born on farm in Edwards
county, Illinois, sixty years ago to-
morrow. Now a multi-milIionaire,
with a fortune derived from selling
bread. newspapers, cakes and pies to
the people of the Windy City and sur
rounding country, Mr.. KohIsaat can
look back to time when he knew the
pinch of poverty. His father died
when Hermann was twelve, and from
that time on the lad supported him
self and aided his mother. His first
job was as a newsy. A little later
he was employed as cash boy by big
Chicago store at three dollars week,
an income augmented by covering a
Chicago Tribune route in the early
morning hours. At twenty-three he
left the store, where he had become
cashier at twenty-five dollars a week,
and became travelling man for a
wholesale bakery. His first business
venture on his own account was ba-
kerry 1unch-rooIn, and he was soon the
owner of chain of such esta blish-
ments, and well along on the road to
Feeding the stomachs of his fellow
citizens, although highly profitable,
did not satisfy the ambition of Mr..
KohIsaat. He wanted to feed their
minds as well. From his newsboy
days he had held, to a determination
to become newspaper publisher and
editor, and in 1891 he bought an in
terest in the Chicago Inter-Ocean and
became its executive head. He was
as successful as an editor as he had
been as a baker A few years later
he purchased the Times-HeraId, pay
ing 81, 100000 spot cash for the prop
erty, and in a day turned it from a
Democratic to Republican organ. La
ter the Times-HeraId was merged
with Victor Lawsons Record as the
Record-HeraId. Mr.. Kohlsaat was
also at one time the owner of the
