lA FOLLETTE PLAYS VERY SHREWD GAME Xevcr Politics of the Visconsin Senator Puts the i President in a Hole.

BY 8IDNEY E8PEY. , " WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. A wsries f recent development In the senate plainly demonstrates that Senator .Robert M. Lafollette, of Wisconsin, is kifter the political scalp of President TTaft, and that Senator Lafollette will Assuredly be a .candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. No other construction can be placed upon the activity with which the Wisconsin senator is pursuing the task ot tariff revision. The Insurgent leader of the senate is just as anxious today to get a tariff bill up to the President as is any Democrat of either the senate or house, and, in the event that (the President vetoes the bill, there is a general feeling that Lafollette as well as the Democratic party, will profit politically. 8trange Politics. Strange politics have been played In the senate during the past ten days. Even Senator Penrose, who seldom says anything that will acquaint the country with the fact thatVhe senate Is not In control of the regulars, has admitted that the Insurgents and the Democrats have 'the upper hand, and the nominal leaders of the once powerful Republican majority has virtually thrown up the sponge. Senator Penrose, chairman of the Senate Finance committee, and heir to the mantel of leadership which fell from the j shoulders of Nelson W. Aldrich, stood ion the floor of the senate and made the admtslon that "the Republicans .no longer have a majority here." This admission Is but incidental to 'the fact that the Insurgent-Democratic coalition in the senate jammed through the Lafollette substitute for ithe wool bill, and that the same group of Insurgents and Democrats have put through the Farmers' Free List Bill, ("with amendments proposed by the InI "urgent wing. The President is admittedly in an ,' embarrassing position, and Senator Lafollette, believing that he knows the temper of the country, is ' biding i his time and anticipating that the 1 President will veto not only these, but all other tariff bills that may' be 'sent to him. Once this Is done, it will be a feather In the cap, not alone of Lafollette, but the Democrats will go immediately to the country making the tariff an 'Issue both prior to and after the (launching of the next Presidential campaign. Gets Name on Bill. The senator from Wisconsin has adroitly managed to have his name ap'pended both to the wool bill and the free, list bill. ..... , , President Taft has assured regular Republicans of the Senate and house, t lt ls reliably .reported, that he will veto all tariff legislation which may j be passed in advance of the report of I the Tariff Board. The Insurgents and Democrats take little stock in the prospective report of that board; declaring that the country demands an Immediate revision of .the tariff and especially of Schedule K, which even the President, in a public speech characterized as "indefensible." The shrewd Lafollette believes that the voters will be unwilling to partion President Taft for his veto of a bill that promised a revision of the schedule which he so characterized. The Wisconsin senator 'and his colleagues i believe that the country is not so much j Interested In a technical report of the ! tariff board, as it is in prompt relief from the inequalities of the Payne . tariff. , The political game played by Senator Lafollette therefore is apparent The President's veto of the tariff revision bill will be his stock in trade, Just as it will be the slogan of the Democrats. Senator Lafollette will go before the next Republican convention and will be in position to upbraid the President for withholding his signature from the Lafollette-Underwood bills. Even Mr. Lafollette fails to receive the nomination, his antipathy toward the President may go to such an extent that he will refuse his aid to the Republican ticket, and the large Lafollette following is bound to be affected by the President's expected repudiation of the bills which Senator Lafollette and. his.' Insurgent friends la the Senate and House have helped to frame. . Big Possibilities. The situation is fraught with big possibilities tor Lafollette and also the President. There are some who predict that a President may be made or unmade by the developments of the next few days, when tariff revision matters will come to a head with the Remember, ladies, that Parisian Sage will give the fJ hair a fascinating luster ill that you will be proud of.

A HOT WEATHER TONIC

A Home Made Medicine that Makes You Sit Up and Take Notice The Intense heat of this summer has affected many of our people so that they can work very little; they say they are .constantly tired and worn This condition is neither natural nor necessary. It is almost always due to a slightly disordered stomach; a perfectly healthy man or woman can work even better in hot weather than what we call a "comfortably cool" day. People who are thus affected by the heat need a hot weather tonic, one that goes direct to the cause of their trouble, the stomach; and one that has a gentle tonic effect on the entire system. s Such a medicine you can make right in your own home. Here is the recipe: Get two ounces of Logos Stomach Tonic Extract (concentrated) at any first class drug store. Mix the contents of this bottle with enough water, to make a pint and add two teaspoonfuls of ordinary baking soda. Shake it up and you have your tonic; could anything be Bimple? A two ounce bottle of Logos Tonic Extract coat 50 cents at any drug store. sending of the various bills to the White House. The Democrats want to go to the country and say that a Republican refusoJ to s.tand for a revision of the tariff. Senator Lafollette, leading Insurgent and political enemy of Mr. Taft, wants to be in a position to make exactly the same claims. So the Insurgents are willing to combine with ths Democrats and vice versa. The next political game of "putting tho President in a hole" is now well under way, and Mr. Taft realizes it as well as anyone else. That the President may well be concerned about the outlook goes without saying, despite assurances of some standpat Republicans that the voters will accept, the President's excuse that Ire deemed it best to "await the report of the tariff board."

"What's the joke?" asked his wife. "You look pretty well pleased with yourself." "Oh, nothing particular," he replied, "excepting an odd fellow from the end of the line said a funny thing.

To Educate American People To be Careful on Railroads

(Palladium Special) PITTSBURG, Aug. 15. Millions are being donated to insure peace between nations, but the number of lives lost in wars today, wiih fighting" continually going on in some corner of the world, is as nothing compared with the annual record of fatalities due to trespassing on American railroads. Thousands of lives are sacrificed every year as the result of trespassing on railroad property. Ignorance or carelessness on the part of the trespasser is resposible for most of this. The railroads are bending every effort to cut down the awful toll of death by posting signs and maintaining police patrol, but they will never be completely successful without the co operation of the general public. Every densely populated industrial center near a railroad is a death center. The working classes in crowded districts, and tramps, furnish the majority of victims. Railroads say people must be taught to have more respect for their lives and safety. With education of this kind in view, 'the Pennsylvania railroad is preparing pamphlets In eight or nine languages. These will be distributed in schools with instructions to the pupils to take them into their homes. The board of education of the state of Pennsylvania has promised its aid, and similar boards in other states will be asked to lend their support in dissiminating this literature and having it read aloud in classes. The assistance of clergymen has been solicited and from hundreds of pulpits the danger of trespassing has been preached. From the good roads trains run by the Pennsylvania railroad through rural districts, and in the farmer's granges the warning has been sounded. In 1905 it was estimated that there were 500,000 tramps in the United States and that their depredations cost the railroads $25,000,000 annually. At that time the Pennsylvania railroad instituted a vigorous campaign against these marauding nomads that swarm over the country every spring, pillaging, . terrifying housewives, lighting fires that wreak untold damage, and sometimes committing murder when their right to live as they please at the expense of society is challenged. As a result of this, and the educational campaign, the number of persons killed while trespassing on the railroad's property in violation of the law, has been gradually reduced from 887 in 1905 to 585 in 1910, and the number ot injured' has fallen from 794 to 582 in the same time. To put these figures in another way; in 1905 the railroad was killing trespassers at the rate of three a day for five months of the year, and two a day for the remaining seven months, while in 1910 the number sacrificed has decreased to two a day for seven months, and one a day for the other five. : The number of injured is but slightly less.v This record shows that the Pennsylvania's efforts have produced results, but the number of trespassers killed and injured each year is still appalling. Thus far the railroads have done the most toward checking this useless waste of life. They are perhaps the greatest sufferers from the tramp evil and they are willing to do all in their power to stamp it out, but this cannot be accomplished until the citizen realizes the seriousness of the matter and takes his part, in the campaign. The New York State Board of Charities estimates that tramps have cost that state $2,000,000 annually for the past two years. This is exclusive of damage done to private property, and includes only the money spent in almshouses and by charitable organizations, and in prosecuting and keeping tramps - in penal institutions. The question touches every citizen vitally, for it means that he has contributed taxes towards this $2,000,000 which went to pay the tramp bill. Writers who have studied the problems agree that the tramp could not exist without the railroads. They afford a means for "beating his way" from place to place that makes it possible for him to live. No one would maintain however, that the railroads are responsible for the tramp. They do not create him. He is one of the excrescences on the social body for which society is responsible. Yet thus far the railroads have done the most toward ' ridding the country of this dangerous pest. Too often society takes the attitude expressed in the following quotation from the news columns of a paper in a small New Jeresy town. After citing several instances of tramp violence the reporter says: "Yesterday the police in both the Third and Sixth precincts were given orders to boost all tramps and suspicious and unwashed characters out of their bailiwicks." No doubt the police obeyed orders. The vagrants were driven to the next town to continue their outrages until once more forced to move on.

they are arrested they are usually given a light or suspended Bntence in order to avoid the cost of eeping them. From time to time the railroads have succeeded in enlisting the co-operation of various communities in punishing tramps with very good results, but intances of this zeal on the part of municipalities have been to sporadic to accomplish any permanent good. The vagrant problem has been solved in other countries, notably in Switzerland, by establishing labor colonies some for forced and some for voluntary labor. If 4h tramp Is a confirmed loafer who does not want to earn his livlihood, he is sent to one of the former, while if he is honestly seeking employment without success, he is sent to one of the latter institutions where he is paid wages until other work can be found for him. A bill providing for a farm of this nature was recently passed by the New York State legislature. Like bills have been introduced in four other states. It has been objected that the labor unions would fight the sale of products from a labor Colony, but such products could be used to support the other state instiutions without encountering this obstacle if it exists. The chief reason for the non-passage of these bills is that the legislatures are afraid of the expense involved. The figures recently issued by the New York state board of charities show clearly that this is false economy. The tramp evil costs the taxpayers of that state $2,000,000 a year. This gives an idea on which to base the expenditures of other states. Adequate labor colonies could be established.

'"" INDIANS AND BULLETS. A Sample of the Strenuous Life In Kentuoky Ir. 1777. In 1777. while Barrodsburg. Ky.. was so beset with Indians that the inhabitants were in straits for daily bread, a young man, only sixteen years old, made himself extremely useful by venturing out of the fort before daybreak and returning with a load of game after nightfall. This Intrepid youth was James Ray, afterward General Ray. Oae day la the year just mentioned Ray and another young man were shooting at a mark near the fort, when the second - man was suddenly shot down by the Indians. Ray looked in the direction whence the shot had come, saw the enemy and was on the point of raising his rifle when be was set upon by another band who bad crept near him unseen. He took to his heels and. being a quick runner, reached the fort amid a shower of bullets, bnt the gates were shut, and the men .Inside were so frightened that they dared not open them. Finding himself shut out, Ray threw himself fiat on the ground in the rear of a stump, and here, perhaps seven steps from the fort and within sight of his mother, he lay for four hours, while the bullets of the Indians tore up the ground on either side of him. At last he grew Impatient and called out to the garrison: "For heaven's sake, dig a bole under the cabin wall and take me In!" The men Inside set to work Immediately, and the brave young hunter was speedily safe Inside the fort.

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

With Newbro's Herplcide While there are no thrills in the narration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols, 623 Broad St., Beloit, Wis., her story is nevertheless one of amazing interest. "Stricken with neuralgia and erysipelas, I lost all my hair. My. Dr. recommended Newbro's Herpicide. I -used six or eight bottles and now have a fine head of slightly curly light brown hair. Not a gray hair in my head. This is the more remarkable as I am middle-aged." While the results which, folow the use of Newbro's Herpicide are always more or less astonishing, they are alway natural. Herpicide destroys the dandruff germ, stimulates the flow of blood to' the hair follicles and keeps the scalp perfectly healthy. It makes possible a natural and luxuriant growth of hair, except in cases of chronic baldness. While remedies said to be "every bit as good", as Newbro's Herpicide are frequently offered, one 6hould insist upon having the original germ destroyer, Herpicide. That is genuine. It stops itching of the scalp almost instanly. ; For sale at all drug stores. One dollar size bottles are guaranteed. Applications may be obtained at good barber shops.

He supposes it to be composed of a cloud of meteors situated about a million miles from the earth and revolving around it in a period of just one year, so that the sun and the meteors are always on. opposite sides of the earth.

One is that It Is a perversion of the Fresco catadoupe. a waterfall -It Is raiotns a catadoupee, or cataracts. Another explanation Is that the mate blossoms of the willow tree, which are used on Palm Sunday to represent : the branches of palm, were called "cats and dogs' in some parts of England, where they increase rapidly after a few warm April show era. and the belief prevailed that therein brought them. v Others trace the saying to northern mythology, In which the cat is said to have great influence on the weather, and sailors still hare a saying. "The cat has a gale ot wind in her tail," when she Is unusually frisky. Witches that rode upon the storms were said to assume the form of cats, and the stormy northwest wind Is called the cat's nose" In the Hars mountains
