A BIG YEAR BEGINS. than ordinary events are due to be chronicled in the year just beginning. In Minnesota a state campaign of A re- a third sharply and than his predecessors, appears to lead in.the race for renomination although the lieutenant governor looms as a for- midable candidate. In national affairs a condition ap- pears which has not existed for Movre unusual interest is publican in store. governor seeks although more frequently criticised term and, years. Here are some of the questions be- ing asked on the threshold of the coming political battle: Will President Taft be nominated for a second term? Has LaFollette a good fighting chance for the Republican nomina- tion? = Woodrow Wilson, with his progressive platform, get the demo- cratic nomination? Or will it be Governor Judson Har- mon and the conservative branch of the party take up the burdens of the democrats? Can 1s 1912 to be a democratic year? What will the platforms be? Not since James G. Blaine was an unsuccessful candidate against Grov--| er Cleveland has a political campaign developed so much interest nor has there been so much doubt as to the cutcome. .'Taft, with his strict adherence to what he .De'ieves to be.i‘ll_ht, has wéllled his filendship into an un- breakable ¢hain with those who look with favor upon a conservative exe- Ccutive 0t 'his type so that’the dan- ger of his défeat liés in the awaken- ing of the people to what is popular- re|ly known as the progressive wave. How general may be this move res mains to bé seen but the very fact that the strength of those who have wearied of the old line Republican- ism is unknown is what goes to make {the present situation one of unusual interest.

Jones has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomi- nation for governor of North Dakota. The Prohibitionists of Wisconsin will hold their State convention in { Madison on Washington’s birthday. Governor Judson Harmon will op- en his campaign for the presidential nomination in Illinois in East St. Louis, January 12.

The convention is ex- pected to instruct its delegation for Taft. . A banquet for Governor Harmon to be held in Milwaukee on January 15 will be one of the largest Democrat- ic functions of recent years, accord- ing to A. A. Allen, who is managing the Harmon campaign in Wisconsin. Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the interior, is scheduled as one of the leading speakers at the rally of Taft Republicans of South Dakota, which is to be held at Huron on January 3. The Woodrow Wilson forces of the Democratic party in Michigan have perfected a campaign organization with a view to landing the State del- egation for the nomination of the New Jersey governor for president. Democratic primaries will be held in Alabama on April 1 for the nomi- nation of congressmen and state offi- cers. Two weeks later the state con- vention will meet in Montgomery to select delegates to the national con- vention. Fivea Smiths will have seats in the United States senate within a few months, in view of the certainty that Marcus A.

At the present time there are four Smiths in the senate—John Walker Smith of Maryland, William Alden Smith of Michigan, Home Smith of Georgia and Ellison D. Smith of South Caro- lina.

The CONFIRMED TESTIMONY The. Kind Bemidji Readers Cannot Doubt. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test. The test of time—the hardest test of all. Thousands gratefully- testify. To quick relief—to thorough, lasting cures. % Bemidji readers can no doubt the evidence. It's convincing' testimony—twice- told and well confirmed. Bemidji readers should profit by these experiences. Samuel Collard, 1024 America Ave., Bemidji, Minn,, says: “I wil- lingly confirm all T have previously said in a public statement, regarding Doan’s Kidney Pills. This remedy never fails to relieve me when I take it. For months I suffered from se- vere pains in the small of my back and my limbs and joints were stiff and sore. I was unable to work and there was always a feeling of- lan- guor present. I tried “medicine of various kinds, but did not get relief until T took Doan’s Kidney Pills. The good work they did firmly mnvinced me of their merits.” For sale by all dealers. cents.

The Lonesome American: Millionaire. An English critic of American traits, writing in the Metropolitan Magazine, says: “lo America the lot of the rich man Is not a very happy one. He has very little to spend his money on. In England you might have an income of & hundred thousand pounds a year and still’ might possibly feel the want of money, because the means of spending money In England are almost unlim-c ited. In America a man who had four or five feudal establishments, = with great households of servants and de- pendents. attached to each, a steam yacht, a racing stable and a stud of motor cars would be an isolated, lone- 1y and unoccupied man. There would be no one to play with him. He might possess all these things, but he could not do anything with them. They do not belong to any recognized life in the country, whereas in. England the man who is born to such possessions finds a whole society of other people also born to them whose life Is spent in administering and using them. quite often with a grave sense of duty, self sacrifice and public service which is beyond the comprehension of any but the most intelligent Americans, simply because it is beyond their experience.” The t Flank Attack. We have a record in the baook of Joshua of “the stratagem whereby ‘Al was ‘taken.” This tells us bow 5,000 men were set in ambush behind the city, so that when. the king of Al and his hosts were drawn forward to the fight a flank attack was made with overwhelming success by the warriors of Israel. Not less disastrous was the fate,of Leonidas and his brave little band’ of heroes -when the Persians at Thér- | mopylae, led by a traitor, took them in |the rear, 480 B. C. It was by a8 masterly maneuver near- ly-800 years later that Hannibal dealt one of his heaviest blows against the hosts of Rome. Having concealed his brother Mago, with 2,000 horse and foot soldiers, among the reeds, he en- ticed the Roman forces across the river The legions fought bravely and held their own until Mago, rising from' -ambush, attacked them- in the rear and routed them. Old Trotting Records. & Dexter, 2:17%4. held his record as champion for-four years, when it was wrested from him by Goldsmith Maid In 1871, whose mile that year was 2:17. Three years later the Maid trotted to a new mark of 2:14, which was not beaten until 1878, when Rarus clipped three-quarters of a second from the mark. St. Julian and Maud 8. follow ed soon after with new records of 2:11% and 2:10% respectively. This was in 1881, and the mare held her place against all comers from that year until '1885, when-to a high wheeled sulky she trotted the fastest mile ever best ever chronicled under the same conditions, ber time being 2:08%. Then along came the pneumatic tire with low wheel and exit the slow records, for since that innovation trotting marks have been held but a compara-- tively short time by any one hnrse,— Horseman.

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 H 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. Wy- eth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy, -containing sage in the proper strength, with the addition of sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy. The manufacturers of this remedy authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be re- funded if it fails to do exactly as rep- resented. Don’t neglect your hair.
