Any agency, outside the free and un-
trammeled will of the people, that
essays to dominate political action, in
this country, is DANGEROUS AGENCY.
The people stand in no need of "ma-
chimes" having power to put through
special programs, representing personal
interests. nor can the ends of good gov
eminent and efficient public service be
permanently conserved by any interest
welding an influence to put men out of
Office who may not be subservient to its
plans or policy.
Independent political action is funda-
mental, and the right of every man to
exercise it, regardless of his calling,
and of whether he may be occupying an
official position or not, should be abso-
lutely beyond question.
When a set of politicians are power
full enough to threaten any man with
political extinction because he proposes
to exercise the common right of inde-
pendent political action, that set of
men are TOO POWERFUL FOR THE PUB
Lie GOOD, and should be repudiated.
Mere allegations prove nothing and
should not be accepted until the evil
dence is examined. No character in
American history has been so exalted
that it has not been subjected to the
most vicious assaults. The stronger
the character, the more truly it held to
duty and ignored special interests, the
more virulent have been the attacks.
Fair play should be accorded every
man. and every man should have privi-
lege to be heard in his own defense.
The immediate point to all this is that
the prosecutors Office in this county
has been under fire from certain quar-
tiers for some time. Some of this OPP
position is alleged to have proceeded
from the fact that the occupants of
this Office could not be whipped into
line with the machine. and some of it
from the fact that they had the courage
to resist outside domination.
The influence of this paper is in no
wise pledged to the prosecutor or to
any other candidate for office, but if
the allegations just referred to are
true, the people should be very Careful

BILE.
GET THE FACTS: find out about the
liquor cases; find out about the Sayre
case; remember that the prosecutors
Office is not detective agency and that
hearsay and rumor, though possibly
well founded, are not matters upon
which convictions may be secured. AS
candidate for denomination give the
present prosecutor consideration upon
his merits and not upon some biased
story that may be told of him.

HandWork Chic.

The demand for loosely woven fab
RIGS, whether Of wool or cotton, or, the
two in combination, is responsible for
some of the most attractive linens
and -crepee this season. It is to be
remembered that materials OF this
sort lend themselves readily to handi-
work, such as darning. crochetting and
outlining. A little handiwork goes a
long way toward giving costume
style and individuality.

TO DEFY THE PASSING YEARS
Woman May Be Beautiful Up to Ad.
vanced Age II She Will Pay
Simple Price.

Often when one is In a hurry to
go out there is not time to manicure
the nails carefully, yet every truly
feminine woman Is, or ought to be,
fastidious In the matter Of keeping
her nails in perfect condition. A fresh
slice of lemon rubbed into and over
the nails will clean andewhiten them
In a minute and will do away with
the need of filing and polishing.
A French paper tells me. In its ad.
vertisement columns, that every smart
woman must possess four kinds OF
face powder-mauve, white, rose and
yellow; and when she takes box for
the play she must also take box of
one or other Of these.
The merchant Of Paris insists that
the yellow decor of theater such
as that named after the only Sarah
demands mauve powder on the face;
the Bouffes cry aloud for white;
color trials at the varieties have
shown that powder which Is couleur
de rose Is the best for wear, and In
the difficult" light Of the opera the
powder must be yellow.
The middle-aged woman must keep
her heart merry and young. She must
refrain from indulgence In imaginary
fills, woes and wrongs and fondness
for too much self-analysis and intro
spection.
Look at life In its true proportions,
face troubles bravely, allow nothing
to dim your courage and you will find
that beauty remains far into old age
and that there Is no regret for van.
ished youth.
No woman Is really beautiful until
she is fifty-three-Barrie.

BELGIAN KING
IDOL OF ARMY

Battle Line

BRUSSELS, Aug. 15.-Always pop
ular, King Albert. Of Belgium, is now
the idol of the people. Clad in
simple blue uniform. bearing no in
sigma OF his exalted rank, he moves
from place to place at the front In q
high-powered automobile. His chauf-
feur and single aioe are his only
escorts. Few excepting the high OH
GERS recognize him. Others accept
him as companion and give him field
rations and water as he requests
them in spirit of simple comrade-
ship. But the news of his move
ments is spreading and now all sol
diers are watching for his coming.
Yesterday he tried to enter the field
hospital at the front. The sentry de
manded the needed special pass. He
said he had none. but that, as the
king, he believed he could enter. 1t
required a strenuous aide TO get the
sentry to consent
When held up by the sentries he
displays his military pass. II Is the
same as all others, with this excep-
tion-under the caption Occupation"
appears this sentence: King OF the
Belgians."

GERMAN SHIP
OUTWITS BRITISH
Freighter Bohemia Arrives
From Hamburg After
Exciting Run

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-THE Ger
man freighter Bohemia outwitted the
British cruiser squadron In the At
lantic and safely made port here to-
day with a heavy cargo of freight.
Sailing from Hamburg on July 80,
Capt. Milf practically lived on the
bridge OF his ship, and, although war
ships were seen en- route, none held
her up. One chased her for several
hours.
Immediately after he got out OF
sight OF land Capt. Min put his crew
90 work and they altered the appear
ance OF the German freighter to make
her look like White Star liner. The
captain then ordered his wireless op.
orator to listen to everything that
went on, but to say nothing whatever
to any other ship. He heard cruisers
talking all about him, heard the Brit
ish admiral, Craddock, communicat.
ing orders. and whenever a warship
seemed about to come close, altered
his course accordingly.

on the steps of the Hornaday home,
waiting. A husky youth came along
and started up the steps.

deputy.
"Nope That's dads name, also
Brother Joe's and my cousins name"
"Are there three OF 'em?" asked
the officer In dismay. Great Scott,
