GREAT MEN AND THEIR HAIR.
Dark Brown and Black Prevailing
Color Among Geniuses.

History shows that few great
geniuses had red hair. Alone among
the poets of the world was Swim
burne, whose hair was distinctly red
dish, and among the great reformers
only John Bunyan's hair was really
red.
The faxen-haired blonde, or the
man whose hair when an adult is
true yellow, also remains marked
apart as being unlikely to possess
genius. Should one such be, his only
companion will be Thackeray, whose
hair is described as yellow. Charles
Kassel has carefully reviewed the
biographies of most of the eminent
people of the world, and has tabulat-
ed the results of his work so far
as the color of the hair is concerned.
Dark brown to black is the prevail
ing hue on the heads of the great
men. A list of fifty names has been
COmpl Ill WIlCll Ill0 SOlO1 VI C1O
hair is given by biographers, and 90
per cent are dark brown or black.
There is not, strange to say, a single
mention of premature grayness, nor
a single case of that ashen brown
hair known as "singed" or mouse
color"
The structure of the hair-Whether
straight or curly-is given in twenty
six of Mr.. Kassel's list of geniuses,
and of these all but four possessed
curly or wavy hair. 1t is extremely
notable that of the remaining four
Napoleon and President Jackson were
the two remarkable for "wiry hail"
and that James Russell Lowell and
Grieg were those having lank straight
hair. The poets 'ringlets' and the
musicians shock of hair are by this
list seen not to be mere accidents,
but in some strange way are co-ordi-
mated to their powers, and the gen.
eral popular instinct is not at fault

The National Baptist Convention
(unincorporated' is a magnificent
gathering of earnest and devoted
men and women and embraces some
of the most brilliant and successful
Negroes of America. While it is only
a part of the great Baptist denomina-
ton in this country, yet We venture
the assertion that its rank and file is
composed of the most, progressive as
well as the most representative mem
bers of that denomination in this
country. They are imbued with a spir-
it of Right and Justice and are eX.
hibiting a militant spirit which augurs
well for the success of the principle
for which they are contending.
That two factions will ultimately
be consolidated and harmonized every
right thinking man and woman hopes
and prays for, but when that con
solidation comes we venture the as.
sertion that the principles for which
the so-called Boyd faction are con,
tending, will be accepted as the prin.
ciples of the whole church. The Sun
bids you welcome to u city.

All that is left of the Progressive
ticket in Missouri is the candidacy of
Joseph P. Fontron for governor and it
is not believed hat will survive long,
for the reason that Mr.. Fontron is at
heart a Republican and inf
nitely prefers Democratic sue
cess in the coming campaign. H. T.
Poindexter, the new chairman of the
Progressive state committee, is open
ly for Hughes for president, as is prac-
tically every other Progressive in the
state except former Judge Albert Nor
toni, who persists in the role of Demo
cratic Aid Society, in spite of the fact
that only a few months ago he joined
heartily in the denunciation of Viii
son and Democracy at Chicago.

The Republicans of Missouri are
this year in winning spirit and have
winning numbers, but they must al
ways keep in mind tibet fact that they
cannot win without getting to the
polls. The best. agency to a full vote
is a complete and efficient ~organiza-
ton, which is only possible through
general and patriotic cooperation.
Missouri's place in the Republican col
umn can be made permanent this
year if every believer in the cause will
do his duty.

Senator James A. Reed solemnly de-
clared in the Senate the other day
that if Hughes is elected we will sure
ly get us into the war. And as if this
were net sufficiently ridiculous, he
added the assertion that a victory for
Mr.. Hughes would destroy our pros
perity." If this is Jim Reeds estimate
of the intelligence of the people of
Missouri, he is destined to run up
against the h~orse-laugh.

1t must not be forgotten that Sam

will serve to explain some things.
