HE Gurney incident in Massachusetts, in which an attache of the British legation in Washington demanded the diplomatic privilege of exemption from judicial process, issued against him for violating the laws of the State, has already entered into domestic politics. It is being used in the campaign against President Roose- velt, and the Parker press is striving to make it appear that | Jomatic privilege is a new thing, just invented by President It as part of an imperial programme. Thus we have the apers saying: “The idea that the King ¢an do no Wwrong, or representative of a foreign power is the one and only person who is above our laws, is very distasteful to the American practice is observed by all nations in the ‘case of our plomatic officers abroad, and all the members of their household and gations.

As far as California is concerned.the hooks | forecast a statement. and a dividend in the form of three seats gained | and a solid Republican delegation in the next House. The.good | work done by Gillett, Needham and McLachlan is to have its rc—" ward in re-election, “and the: capacity and -promise.of Knowland, } Smith, Hayes and McKinlay are to have recognition, while: the de- | ferred reward of Mr. Kahn is to be bestowed by his re-election to a | seat in which he was a hard working, alert. and successful public| servant, for two terins. | The: people ‘demand -in .the next Congress workers, and not | drones and’ dreamers. 1t .is:to_be a Congress in-which California | needs every.influence that can’ advance her interests. This- State | has a representative in ‘the Cabinet in the department that most con- | cerns our commercial welfare. . Sécretary Metcalf’s appointment was hailed by Republicans and. Democrats- as an act of the -President vital to our interests and prosperity..” Let the thoughtful members of both parties renfember that an appointment so conspicuously use- ful deserves acknowledgment by giving to President Roosevelt the- support of 3-solid delegation. 'J"hqfe is not a true California Demo- crat, who puts his State above party, that would not trust Kahn, Hayes, Smith, McKinlay,” Knowland, Gillett, Needham or Mc-} Lachlan to administer upon his estate without bonds. This being so, why are not these gentlemen deserving of confidence .and the right men to be trusted in caring for the interests of every man’s estate so far as it is affected by proper and legitimate attention in Congress? . : : X : This State has long been ambitious to secure a representation in the Cabinet. But that ambition was.briefly gratified only once by the short service of Mr. McKenna before his promotion to the Supreme Court, until President Roosevelt gave to us the position of the greatest importance to the whole Coast, and conferred it upon the gentleman who would have been selected by popular vote, if that method had been possible. One needs only to remember the satisfaction expressed at Mr. Metcalf’s. appointment in the various complimentary functions, in which men of all parties took part, to understand how important it is to us. s the President recognized California, let the State requite him by a vote of confidence that will send a solid Republican delegation | to the House. This is dictated by the principle of ordinary prudence. We want a fair chance with the rest of the country for our com- merce and business, in the things that make for their support and. cans w THE LAST WEEK.

That 'statement is all-comprehensive. It needs no explanation in the minds of- ths majority of women as well as men. . R 5 wontrary to general impression, men don’t object to a woman's dyeing her ‘hair eithér. We have any number of husbands who come in here with their wives and talk it over or wait until the process is done. They don’t want their wives to have gray hair. “Of'course I.know Paris is setting the fashion- for white hair, and I under- ment in use there for bleaching ‘it white, which if perfected will doubt- less be brought over to this country. “But up to this time the woman who wants her hair bleached white is very scarce. “As for turning hair bleached from the use of peroxide or similar prepara- ations, that is equally impossible. Such hair can be dyed the natural color, but no amount of unguerts can permanent- ly remove the bleach or bring the hair back to its original color—nothing but time. It must grow out by the ndtural ‘n:ethod. Nature alone can accomplish this. “Speaking of dyes, I have some funny looking heads to color. One woman came in here the other day with her hair as green as that carpet. Prob- ably it came from using a dye with nitrate of silver, which, when it comes in contact with grease, will turn green. Another woman awoke one morning to find her hair a beautiful purple. Some of the French dyes do this when not properly applied. -“We have women who have been coming here for the last eighteen years.

Standard sil- ver is remarkable for this property, which precisely resembles the flowing of a viscous fluid. The flow takes place when the metal is subjected to rolling, stamping .or hammering and the par- ticles of the metal are thus carried into the sunken parts of the die without fracturing, and a perfect impression is % —_— Silver Leaf for Dressing Wounds."

Cards, cards, nothing but cards, after- noon and afternoon. There are neigh- borhood card parties and club parties and luncheons followed by cards until it seems that every one has had cards enough to last a lifetime. But what shall I do with my guests? asks the anxious hostess. s There may be nothing better than cards, but for a change almost any- thing is desirable. A needle afternoon at this season of the year is instructive as well as pleasant. ‘Women have been away from home at the sea shore, the lake shore, in the mountains, or even off for a short visit, and have seen many new stitches and many new designs in embroidery. Make | this fact the basis of an entertainment. and ask them to come prepared to demonstrate the newest fad in em- broidery or needlework. i There are many kinds of embroidery, and an afternoon thus spent with needles will prove a help in mlkhl(! Christmas gifts. Any new bit of fancy work will answer. Every one must go prepared and willing to teach every one eise how to do the work she knows how to do. 3 Cheap Candy Dulls Brains Young pupils in one of the public schools at Plainfield, N. J., having shown an uncommon distaste for stud- les and a most amazing dullness, the Board of Education asked Borough Physician J. H. Buchanan to make an examination as to the cause. Dr. Buchanan says in his report that the trouble comes from eating cheap candy. He found the candy habit as firmly fixed among them as a taste for drink with a drinker. Inside the mouths % the pupils he found a peculiar color, different from the natural and similar ‘n_all instances that he examined. He found that the pupils are in the habit of buying candy on the way to school and eating it almost constantly. He noted that it was invariably colored ple recetved: Mrs. ‘Worden, Mrs. A.
