NAY INFORMATION is, that the Govern
~ ment has promoted the p. O. Inspector,
Knight, who opened the mail sack to get a
copy of our magazine to prosecute me on;
and that the worthy citizen is now tearing up
the r. F. D. service in way that the country
people despise
l guess that Brannen, the decoy subscriber
to our paper, and the obstinate Juror, Phil
North, will also be invited to come up higher,
as a reward for good conduct in my case.
But the following letter and clipping are
the real subjects of this piece:

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

An especially fine shampoo for
this weather, one that dissolves
and entirely removes all dan
druff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be made at trifling expense
by simply dissolving a teaspoon
full of canthrox in cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and
massage briskly. This creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and plant, while the hair
takes the glossy richness of ma
tural color, also fluffiness
which makes 1t seem much heav-
Ter than it is. After canthrox
shampoo arranging the hair is a
pleasure.

Jeff Davis, king of the Hoboes,
is now a wealthy man.
Several months ago one of his
millionaire friends on Wall street
whispered the name of a certain
war stock to him.
Jeff took the hint.
He plunged with the savings of
years and as a result he has $780,
900 to his credit.
Jeff established his Hotel de
Gink in Tacoma two years ago to
care for iobless brethren through
the winter and later duplicated
the idea in Seattle and New York,
He has recently finished his
third trip around the world.

The Editors Vanity

The Sioux City Tribune. often
careless about MANY matters, credits
to the Mitchell Republican an editor
ial that appeared in the News
Aberdeen News.
The ever interesting Aberdeen
News voices q common protest
among large and small newspaper
men. They are all a bit vain over
their brain children" and when
they produce anything worthy of
copying they like to have credit for
it. Some papers rsligiouslv follow
this ancient custom of the crsft.
while others 'rehash" an item--and
publish it as their own, or put .
date line on It and publish il as q
"spsciai." However. the news

A Bit of War
Among Democrats

Another Irish Revolution is the
way local humorists refer TO the war
between Editor healey, of the Ga
zette. and Postmaster McCullen,
local democratic leaders. The final
break came in the recent party prI.
mares, in which Mr. Healey was de-
feated for committeeman by George
Fugate. The editor charges his de-
feat to the postmaster.
This paper, o. course. has accepted
the Presidents advice to all Ameri-
cans ito be neutral in the war"
hence it can only offer the beliger.
ants a few suggestions, without pre-.
JUDGE:
There are three distinct methods
of handling political affairs of hon
or" besides resorting to the manly
art. The first is the advice of the
famous Robert Burdette to editors:
When some fellow don't play the
game fair sit down at your desk,
write a scathing editorial, scoring
him from A to z. Read it over to
see that it looks good. then fold it
up carefully. lay it away in a pigeon
hole. and forget it."
The second method is that of a
well known local philosopher who
says: IF a fellow gets the best of
me in an unfair way, | hope he wont
get mad. because | want him to go
right along just the same-till my
turn comes"
A third method is the broad philos
ophy that the world is large enough
for all. Go your way in peace and
let the other fellow go his way. If
both are satisfied to do this. 1t is
best for both. If the other fellow is
not satisfied and insists upon impos.
ing on you. why 60 get him.

law.
This accords with the prediction
of this paper expressed a couple of
years ago, and at various times
since. The advertising columns of a
newspaper are for sale at regular
rates to any body for legitimate ad

sells his goods to any BODY. regard

sonai opinion of the merchant IS not

Even the references to Republican
extravaganza have proved rotten, in

President had striven in a letter and
by personal cajoiements to hold his

The people will have to consider
not merely the Philippine promise
but the free sugar promise. the one
term promise. the Panama promise.
Even if it be conceded that the
reputation Of these promises was
wiser than their enforcement in
legislation. can the Democratic Party
escape the charge that it is a party
of ~hy-catchers, putting forth bats
for unsophisticated voters? When
they become more sophisticated
what will they do to this party of

Road Rules For
Autos and Teams

Thousands Of new drivers are
handling automobiles this year, and
manv of them r not very particu-
lar in posting themselves on rules of
driving. In the cities where the
traffic is heavy and policemen fire.
uuent. the rules are enforced.
Drivers should follow the rules in
town and country to be equally
safe.
Everybody knows that in passing
another vehicle face to face. one
should pass to the right. How many
know that in passing a vehicle going
the same way n should pass to the
left? The vehicle in front should
turn to the right to give room for
passing.
In turning street or road corners.
if turning to the right drive close
in-hug the corner. If turning to
the left side, drive wide, so that
another car turning the same corner
going in an opposite direction can
hug the corner close.
When stopping on the street, stop
with right side next to the curb.
All vehicles are entitled by law to
half the road. IL horses show signs
of fear or excitement. auto drivers
should slow down. and if necessary
stop. 1t IS wise to slow down in
passing any vehicle.
The best auto drivers always
drive q block ahead'-that is, they
have their eye always on the road.
and check their car in approaching
culverts. bridges rough places. etc.
gradually. before they are reached.
1t saves cars. tires and passengers.
