It wasn't so much an analysis of the proposed business deal with Uncle Sam whereby goods from this coun- try were to be sent across the border free if other things across the line were admitted here without dity, as it was a shaking of the knees over the terrifying spectacle of the rag- ged, hdllow eyed scarecrow floating the flag of “annexation,” which caused the defeat of reciprocity in Canada. What ever may have been the re- sult of reciprocity, which President Taft fought so hard for and so ably championed, the fact remains that the real issue in Canada was clouded by opponents of the pact whose clev- er campaign of “Long Live the King” appealed so strongly to the patriot- ism of The Lady of the Snows that reciprocity sank to the noise of a whisper in a boiler factory while the 0 annexation” a tremendous storm which swept Sir Wilfrid from office, completely de- throning the Liberals and putting in their place Conservatives who are to have a majority of close to 50 in the next parliament. SAN FRANCISCO’S LIVELY CAMPAIGN. As Dbitter a political campaign as ‘was ever witnessed in any American municipality was practically ended in San Francisco today. On' Tuesday a primary election will be held for the selection of candidates for mayor and other city officers, including po- lice judges, district attorney, sheriff, coroner and supervisors. Patrick M. McCarthy, who was elected mayor by the labor organiza- tions two years ago and under whose administration, according to the dec- larations of his opponents, the city has been disgraced in the eyes of all decent citizens, is the big issue of the campaign. Every form of graft is charged against the administration, though the protection of vice is the charge upon which the foes of the McCarthy regime place most empha- sis. Mayor McCarthy is a candidate for renomination and has the solid sup- port of the political machine which he has built up since he came into office. The denizens of the under- world, who are said to have increased by hundreds as a result of the wide- open policy of the past few months, will, of course, do their utmost to aid in McCarthy’s re-election. It is not believed, however, that he will poll as large a union labor vote as he got at the last election. The Republican and Democratic and Good Government parties have united on James Rolph, Jr., for may- or. Mr. Rolph is a well known busi- ness man, fres from entangling alli- ances with any political ring. In announcing his platform Mr. Rolph said he wonld make no hampering pledges, make mno appoint- ments for political reasons and would recognize no faction in the commun- ity. He expresses himself in sym- pathy with the labor organizations, so long as they are law abiding, and declares that if elected he will use the whole moral influence of his of- fice and his utmost personal effort to would show both employer and employed that their interests and the prosper- ity of the city depend on that justice to one another which alone insures industrial peace. NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK. A busy week is in prospect for President Taft. After making a num- ber of short stops in Missouri and Kansas on Monday, he will arrive in Kansas City in time to address the National Conservation Congress Mon- day evening. On this occasion it is probable Mr. Taft, in the course of his remarks on the general subject of conservation, will make clear the Ad- ministration’s future attitude in Alaskan affairs. From Kansas City the president is to go to Hutchinson to speak at the State Fair and the Kansas semi-cen- tennial celebration. Topeka, Atchi- son and Leavenworth will be em- braced in the Wednesday itinerary. The next two days will be given to lowa, with stops at Council Bluffs, Fort Dodge, Waterloo, Des Moines, Ottumwa and several other points. Another swing across northwestern Missouri is scheduled for Saturday and thence the route will lead to Omaha, where the president will spend Sunday. The third meeting of the National Conservation Congress, to address which President Taft is to visit Kan- sas City, promises to be the most notable gathering of its kind yet held. A number of subjects dealing with the conservation of natural re- sources will be discussed during the three days’ session, but especial at- tention will be given to the question of soil fertility and its maintenance. Secretary of the Interior Fisher, for- mer Secretary Garfield, Gifford Pin- chot and many other men of note will be heard. Primary elections in two cities at opposite ends of the country will at- tract public attention during the week. In San Francisco a primary will be held Tuesday for the nomi- nation of candidates for mayor and other city officials. In Philadelphia a similar primary will be held Sat- urday. Both cities have witnessed strenuous campaigns. In a broad sense the same issue prevails in both cities, being a fight of the better ele- ment of the citizens to wrest the con- trol of municipal affairs from the officeholders and politicians alleged to be guilty of the grossest kind of political corruption and graft. Massachusetts will have its first practical experience with the direct cry developed into|primary law on Tuesday, when all parties will name candidates for gov- ernor and other States officers to be voted for this fall. A spirited three- cornered fight is on for the Republi- can nomination for governor. Gov- ernor Foss is assured of renomina- tion by the Democrats. The consecration of Rev. J. P. Winchester as bishop of Arkansas] will attract a distinguished gather- ing of Episcopal clergy and laity to Little Rock on Friday.

A Master of the Art of Newsletter Writing. William E. Curtis, the famous correspondent of the Chicago Record- Herald, probably has more enviable position and is read by more men and women daily "than any other newspaper: writer in the United States. He can go anywhere in the world and write on any living topic that he chooses, so long as he in- terests his hundreds of thousands of readers. He has traveled several times around the world and written entertaingly about almost every country under the sun. Every day in -the year, without vacation, Mr. Curtis has a two-col~ umn letter in The Record-Herald. The remarkable thing about these letters is their power to interest all classes of readers. Women read them with the same enjoyment as men. Whether the subject be poli- tics, travels, a new kink in the Mon- roe doctrone, an interview with the newest money king®or the the per- sonal history of an Egyptian mum- my, the story is always told with a limpid simplicity and an unfailing sense of interest that keeps one read- ing to the end. No other corres- pondent now living can match the record of Mr. Curtis as a popular purveyor of timely and useful in- formation. Whether he writes from his home in Washington or from the wilds of the Caucasus, from the gay streets of Paris or some remote temple in Turkestan, he always has something fresh and entertaining to tell. Mr. Curtis began his news- paper career in Chicago as a re- porter in 1872, he speedily became a managing editor, resigned to serve as secretary of a goverment commission sent to South America, and fulfilled his duties so brilliantly there that Secreatry James G. Blaine placed him at the head of the new bureau of American republics. He is almost as widely known in South America and Europe as in the United States. At the world’s fair in Chicago he was the executive head of the Latin-American depart- ment. He i¢éa member of almost every learned society in Washington and many in Europe. Nobody outside of the Record-Her- ald office knows under what flag Mr. Curtis will next be hanging up his hat, but everybody knows that, whether it be in Patagonia or the Sahara Desert, he will find some- thing interesting to write about. Merely to read his daily news-letters is a liberal education. .He does his full share toward making The Chicago Record-Herald the best home newspaper in the West. Digestion and Assmiilation.

SAGE TEA WILL DARKEN THE HAIR Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Np- tural Color—Dandruff Quickly 7 Removed: ¢ There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair.. Our great-grand- mothers kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a “sage tea.” Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear- ance they made a brew of sage leaves and applied it to their hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don’t have to resort to old-time, tiresome methods of gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skillful chem- ists better than we could do it our- selves, and all we have to do’is to call for the ready-made product.
