The Wisconsin Election.

A very interesting political event is
the special election in Wisconsin, today,
held for the purpose of filling the vacancy
caused by the lamentable death of the
late Senator Paul o. Husting, who was
killed in cunning accident, by his
brother. Senator Husting was Demo
crat, and the result of the election may
be a political change.
1t is not certainty, however, although
Wisconsin is heavily Republican State,
that the result will be Republican VIC
tory. At the Republican primaries there
was very bitter contest between Rep
resentative Lenroot and james Thomp-
son. the former in support of the ad-
minisirations war policies, and the latter
representing large partisan interests in
the State which are not favorable TO the
administration, even though they may
not be openly favorable to Germany.
The Democratic candidate is Joseph X.
Davies, a man of ability, very popular,
and IN earnest support OF the admins
tration in its conduct of the war. There
is n Socialist candidate. also, ex-Rcprc-
sentative Victor Beggcr, who is under
Federal Indictment for public utterances
regarded as of reasonable character,
and who is expected TO poll a considerable
vote.
The election of Davies, the Democratic
candidate. would be hailed throughout
the country as distinct expression of
the really patriotic people of Wisconsin
in earnest support of the Federal gov
eminent during the war. And as such it
would be q notable act The general

staunch Republicanism of Wisconsin Is
hat Representative Ienroot, the Re
publican candidate, will be successful.

1t is like " 10 fall TO the lot of Mr.. Vale.

He seems to be rather proud and bold

What does matter Is that the Kaiser

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best, Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins IT,
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary musiied cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaselessl, and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lIstrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed c0coanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member OF the
family for months.

MEANT 1T FOR BIG SCARE.

II was the vanity of the Kaiser that
led him 10 behevc he might scare the
whole world. Why with his own subjects
so completely under his thumb, he can {
hold the balance Of the world in the same
way is one OF the things he don't under
stand
The masses Of the people in Germany
are the servants Of his household When
he tells them TO come they come, when
he tells them TO go they go. He holds
dominion over them all, and that is one
of the ripe fruits of mhtarism. If he
tells them they are living for him, and that
if their lives are spared they owe him for
it, they believe what he says and return
thanks
With his mihtaristic machine he has
driven his own subjects TO that extent,
and he vainly believes he ought to be
able to scare the whole world and make
all mankind obedient to his wishes
II is with that sort Of feeling he
has gone to the western front, caused 1t
to be stated he has taken command of
the big German army and is personally
launching it against the Allied forces
