THE SOURCE OF THE TREATY.

What malady William F. McCombs is
suffering from we do not pretend to
know. 1t is a question for the alienists.
When a Republican talks such nonsense
as he got off the San Francisco train at
Chicago to give TO the press 1t does not
raise any question Of his mental con-
dition; it only fixes his party status.
But Mr. McCombs cannot be sheltered
under large and loud party label.
The President has not called himself
the leader of the Democratic party,
but his great Office makes him such. 1t
was as the leader of the party that he
was twice nominated for the Presidency
by a party convention. To say that
the President as party leader is "a
conception heretofore never entertained
by any American" is driveling nonsense.
II is refuted by our entire political his
tory. Every President since George
Washington has been the leader of his
party in a greater or less degree, depend
ing upon the force of his own person
atty Was not John Adams the leader
of the Federal party? Was not Thomas
Jefferson the leader Of the Democratic
Republicans? Is there any doubt about
Andrew Jackson having been the leader
of his party, or Abraham Lincoln, or
Grant, or Roosevelt?-Philadel Rec

CONGRESS AND PROHIBITION.

Talk of ''wet" plank in the Democratic
platform-or, at least, Of one suspiciously
'damp''-crops out in all the San Fran
cisco dispatches The Republicans,
much to the disgust of the Middle West,
having wholly burked the issue at Chicago,
the Democrats believe that they have a
fine chance to rush in where their oppo-
nents feared to tread Whatever they
do in that line will have TO be done over
Bryans violent protest, but that prospect
seems only TO whet their ardor. The
practical question is, What can the Demo
Gratis promise2 More narrowly, what
power is left to Congress under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court upholding
the prohibition amendment and the
validity of the Nolstead enforcement act?
The majority decision of the Supreme
Court fully admitted the continuing
power of Congress to define Intoxicating
liquors." adding the warning, however,
that there are limits beyond which
Congress cannot 60" This seems to
imply that the question will ultimately
have to be decided as q matter of fact, in
the light of unprecedented medical opinion,
or in that given by such results of expert
mental tests in laboratory as Mr.. Root,
in one OF his arguments, laid before the
Judges In New York.-New York Times.

Diaries Increase 400 Per Cent.

The cattle breeders of Delaware are
performing the good service of making
four blades of grass grow where but one
grew before A COW in Newark, of the
Holstein breed, has just made at two
years old record of 400 pounds of milk
and 17.5 pounds of butter in seven days.
This remarkable output is officially re-
corded SO that il is accurate and beyond
question. 1t is valuable to the farmer
as showing that with pure bred animals
they can make almost four times more
butter than with the old mongrel COWS that
80 long held sway in the dairies For the
same amount of work and with the same
consumption of feed the dairy may be
made to yield 400 per cent more than the
average of forty years ago. 1t is difficult
to imagine what would be the prices of
milk and eggs today if the supplies we're
to come from the common barnyard
varieties of cattle and chickens.

THE FRIENDS WHO RACK You Up

It's the friends who are behind you you
depend on all the while,
Not the friends you'll meet tomorrow or
the friends of pomp and style;
When you're up against a battle for a goal
or silver cup,
It's the old friends who are with you, for
they always back you up.
You don't have TO turn to sec them, you
just know that they arc there,
They follow where you re going and they're
with you everywhere,
You can center your att MI IN on the
work you have TO do,
For you know should danger threaten
that your friends are back Of YOU.
Afraidf Go forward bravcly; you don Z
have to fight alone.
There are good friends glad To follow and
they'll make their presence known;
Though the throng grows thick about
you and your faith is sorely tried,
Friends are coming up behind you and
they II battle IT your side.
The new friend may desert You but the
old friends never do.
They u share in every danger and they'll
gladly see you through;
You can face the world undaunted, you
can fight when foes attack,
And bank on the assurance that your
friends are AT your back.

of their cigars fell on the hay in the rear

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful Mulsifed eocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
less, is much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

COURSES IN SCOUTING.

A college course in scouting would seem
to be the crowning recognition of the
value of the Boy Scout movement. 1t is
step that several colleges are taking.
The course is for the training of future
scoutmasters and scout executives. How
large is the demand for such work is in
dicated by the fact that two hundred
men have been doing it at Columbia this
year. Doubtless the ideal scoutmaster is
born rather than made, but doubtless, too,
modicum of training will assist in the
making of many satisfactory leader.
And with nearly half a million boys of
Greater New York Boy Scouts, and more
on the way, capable leaders are more

SOLFENCY.


Take this advice; Don't go in
debt! Your solvency's your one
best bet. Far better drive a henry
car, that breaks slat at every Jar,
that backs when YOU would have it
pull, and know it's yours, paid for
In full, than journey in fine sedan
that's bought on the installment
plan. Far better wear suit of duck
on which you've paid the final
buck, than go around in brave array
while tallors clamor for their paw.
Far better in a cabin dwell, in some
remote, secluded dell, than occupy
q gilded hall where bailiffs with
their warrants call. There's naught
contributes, you will find, more
strongly to your peace of mind, than
being in place to say, mo man can
dun me for his pay; ! owe no ko-
pecks, far or near, my bills are paid,
my record clear I've tried both
plans, and SO | know; all kinds of
bills | used to owe, and lawyers
chased me through the town, and
stern collectors ran me down. And
life was then a sad affair, of walking
floors and tearing hair. But now
! pay for bed and board, and buy
no junk | cant afford, and life is
like pleasant dream, or like short |

Science is still looking for the ancestors
of Pithecanthropus, but it is not looking
for missing link between man and the
modern monkey, because anthropologists
do not think man is descended from apes.
Darwin is often misquoted on this point
What Derwin said was that msn and apes
evolved from a common ancestor. Some
scientists hold that there were probably
a number of early animals which branehed
off from the unknown ape like ancestor
