He chose “the middle of the road,” but secretly allied him- self with slavery and against liberty : He pointed the people to the courts, where the Dred Scott ase was pending, and, having been privately informed by Jeti Grier that the decision would be in favor of slavery, he aid in his inaugural address es “The question will be speedily and FINALLY settled. To their decision (the supreme court's) in common with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit, whatever it is.” He proceeded to say “Most happy will it be for the country when the public mind shall be diverted from this question to others of more pressing and of practical importance, Should the continue, it may eventually ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY of a large portion of our countrymen where the in stitution exists. Let every Union-loving man, therefore, exert his best influence to SUPPRESS THIS AGITATION which, sinee the recent legislation of congress, is without legitimate object.” Could there be a closer historical ed attitude of James Buchanan and that of William H Taft in 1912, like Buchanan in 1857, "1s at the head of the government on the eve of a national crisis, after 20 years of agitation. Then it was slavery; now, money and the trusts. ‘Taft, like. Buchanan, pretends to take “the middle of the road,” though secretly allied with the Interests Taft, like Buchanan, points the people to the courts and pretends to believe that the decision of the supreme court in the oil and tobacco cases “settles the question speedily and finally.” He says: “T love judges and I love courts. They are my ideals on earth of what we shall meet in heaven under a just God.” He raves against those who would question the dictum of the courts on great issues of human liberty. Taft, like Buchanan, virtually commands us to “Suppress the agitation” lest harm come, not to the persons, but to the property, of “a large portion of our countrymen,” and he adds @he threat of panic and hard times TAFT, LIKE BUCHANAN, CRIE WHE THERE US NO PEACE The pusillanimous course of Buchanan brought the coun try to revolution, to the very verge of ruin, from which it was saved only when the decision of the supreme court IN FAVOR OF THE MASTERS AND AGAINST MEN had been trampled into the dust under the feet of a million marching men Buchanan, himself, when remembered at all, is remem- Bered with pity and contempt. What the American people need today, as they did in 1857, is not a pusillanimous trimmer, trembling at the fect of the property interests, but a leader who is EVERY INCH A MAN, and a man who stands firmly for the rights of the people against the aggression of organized wealth. Evidently they are beginning to look for a soft place for Humphrey to light, but not on the bench. By the way, if the Parish camp accepts the Cotterill chal- lenge who will do the talking? The Magic of Water A quarter of a century ago, there was a rush of settlers into southwestern Kansas. Towns with expensive public buildings and fine business blocks, and thousands of homes on the land, sprang up in a few months. Five promising counties, Stevens, Morton, Grant, Stanton and Haskell, were organized. ‘Then it was discovered that while climate and soil were excellent, the district lay beyond the rainbelt. After a few inn of desperate struggle the region was depopulated. In! forton county a $50,000 court house was left to coyotes. But now the scene is changed again. Artesian water was discovered and settlers are rushing in by the thousands, The abatidoned towns are pulsing with life. It will be one of the} fairest parts of Kansas, There is no magic like water in a dry land. Cummins in the race for president. black man in the wood pile?

Editor of Star: STATUS OF FEMALE CITIZENS MARRIED TO ALIENS Editor Seattle Star: The law has long been well settled that a ‘ native or naturalized female, mar- ying an alien and remaining in the United States, does not lose her cit- ship. An alien woman marry: Leg citizen of the United States ‘and remaining in the United States ! becomes a citizen thereof by virtue | of the statute and her marriage to |g citizen of the United States, but| | the converse of the proposition 1s) not true. In order for 4 female to How Wrinkles Are Caused—and Removed Wrinkles are caused by the skin becoming loose, Obviously the rem- edy is to tighten the skin. Equally ft is obvious that the only thing j which will tighten the skin is a | powerful astringent. Now, it is well known that the only powerful astringent which is absolutely harmless and beneficial as well, is pure powdered saxolite, obtainable from any druggist. Dis- solve one ounce in a half pint of| witch hazel. Bathe the face in it daily and—behold! The result is almost magical. The skin be comes firm and smooth, the face feels smug, comfortable and solid, instead of loose and flabby. Sim- ple, isn’t it? One should be careful, however, to use no other astringents than pure saxolite, as the former do no her marriage to an alien, she must withdraw from her native country and renounce her former citizen ship a8 a consequence of her mar- riage. “4 This rule has been established as far back as Shanks vs. Dupoint, 3rd Peters U. 8. 243, wherein it ts saf that In 1781 Anna Scott was mar- ried to Joseph Shanks, a British of- ficer, and at the time of the evac uation of Charleston, in December, 17) went with him to England, wher she remained until her death, in 1801. Justice Storey de- livered the opinion of the court, and stated in substance that neither did the marriage with Shanks make her an alien or lose her citizenship, be- cause marriage with an allen, whether friend or enemy, produces no dissolution of the native al legiance of the wife. It is only by virtue of the Revised Statutes 1901, sec, 1994, page 1268, that an alien female marrying a native or naturalized citizen of the United States becomes a citizen, Sprung ve. Morton, 182 Fed. 330, but the statute does not provide th female citizen of the United States, married to an allen, shall become an alien. The statute was nade to encourage the citizenship of females who married native or naturalized citizens, but it was not intended that when a native or naturalized female married an alien, and remained a resident of the United States, that she forfeit- ed her citizenship. Therein is the distinction. At this time it fs an important question before the people of the state of Washington because many native born or naturalized females are married to alfens and reside in the state of Washington, and each and every one of them are citizens of the United States, and remain citizens of the United States as long as they reside in the United States, and they are entitled to vote the same as if their husbands were natural ized or native born citizens of the United States or as if they were me and are really injurious more ften than not.
