Republican Prospects Grow Brighter. Evan the Democrats admit that tha Maine election returns show the Republicans and Progressives of that state are again united. The total Republican vote this year exceeds by u.000 the combined Republican and Progressive votes cast In 1912. And It is Impossible to explain this train on any other theory than that ths Progressives Joined with the regular Republicans in this year's state election, and of course will follow the same plan when it comes to the general election. The Democrats, however, insist that while this may happen In Maine, eonditions elsewhere are different and they look for different results results that will he more favorable to their side.

They maintain. In other words, that although Maine Progressives have returned to the Republican fold, In other states they will more equally divide In support of the national tickets, Ihus diminishing the chance of a Republican victory. Jt will be conceded that some Progressives who originally belonged to the Democratic party will this year support the Wilson ticket, although even among this cluss there are many who will follow the leadership of Roosevelt and other prominent Progressives and vote for Hughes. But a big majority of the Progressives cams from the Republican party, and with comparatively few exceptions these will rejoin the Republican ranks this year. Just as they have done In Maine.

Whatever the Democratic gain from the Progressives, moreover, will be largely offset by the desertion of Democrats who have had enough of Wilson and wish for a change in the control of national affairs. And such desertions are likely to be, far more numerous than tha party leaders Imagine, or are willing to admit. The prospect of Republican success. In fact, steadily grows brighter and Republican leaders are 'Commencing to show a spirit of confidence and optimism that soon will become contagious. It might be unwise to say the contest already is won, for it la better to spread the Impression that victory can be won only by hard work and by every Republican voter doing his duty, both during the balance of the campaign and on election day.

But certainly there is much to encourage and Inspire efforts by the Republicans, while the only discouraging signs thus far are those which hover over the Democrats, causing the latter to display significant evidences of gloomy forebodings. Wil Bear The state department at Washington has made public the contents of an official note addressed to this government hy Japan, in response to an Inquiry marie concerning the Intentions of Japan toward China, with special reference to preserving Chinese integrity and safeguarding the so-called "open door" in connection piled with assurances that It is not her Intention to molest In any way the Integrity of China, or to Jeopardise the open door policy in which this nation Is largely interested, and a careful explanation Is given of Inci Weak Excuse of Democrats for the Eight-Hour Law. (From Th St Louis Globe-Democrat) Next to th cowardics of congress in passing the Adamaon bill under compulsion 1 the cowardice of th defender of that action. It had to be done, is their cry. The country was confrbnted by a great calamity.

Four hundred tnousand men war about to strike. Tbe railroad service oi tne country wouid have been paralyzed. The president and congress had to Intervene, and had to intervene in a hurry. There was no time for investigation, no time for discussion. The only possible course was to give these men what they wanted, and consider the wisdom and justice of tbe action afterwards.

We muat have peace at any price. Jt does not matter that the dignity and honor of the nation have been sacrificed. It does not matter that tha American eagle, like tha fabled os-trlct has buried Its head in th sand. The strike has been averted, and "it Is a famous victory." Are we. then, to shape our course by this new principle? Is our national embem hereafter to be th rabbit, ever fleeing from alarms? Is coward-lie to be apotheosized aa the national virtue? Are we to rejoice in our pusillanimity, and boast of our agility in seeking shelter? It would seem so, If we Judge from this act and the shouts of its supporters.

But to what will this thing lead us? We hav established th principle of action by president and congress for and in behalf of a private interest under the compulsion of force. hav shown thst the government of the United States, which we love to believe is the greatest government under the sun, can be compelled, regardless of the right or the wrong of it, to do the will of any body of men sufficient in numbers and organization to intimidate it or the public by the power and the threat of disaster. The nature of such a body ia not material. It happens In this case to have been labor--ers, but the Ignominy would be no less if it were merchants or farmers. Suppose the butchers of the country were to unite and announce that they would close their shops Indefinitely unless, or until, certain demands were complied with.

With this precedent before us we should expect congress and the president to come forward humbly and fearfully and give th butchers, or compel the public to give them, whatever they de sired, whether it was just or unjust. Imagine the farmers getting together and binding themselves to produce no more crops unless demands' contrary to public interests were instantly granted. With this novel and contemptible interpretation of "safety first" as our guiding principle we would look for a congress upon Its knee In supplication and compliance. Is this policy to be permanently established by the Indorsement of th people of the United States? Is the government of the United States to slink henceforward with Its tail between its legs, or Is it to stand up tall, firm, courageous, just to all men and to all interests, fearing none and subservient to none? This Is not a question of labor nor of hours. It Is a question that Involves the perpetuity of independent government in America, nothing less.

Amusements. Much anticipation has already been shown towards the appearance of th new two-act farce with music, "Peck's Bay Boy." which is billed to appear at the Grand opera house, Thursday evening. The comedy this season is all new with funny situations, bright dialogue, attractive musical artistically blended and a special scenic equipment, this, together with the fact that this season's edition is more entertaining than any previous one has been because of the unusual ability of the vaudeville performera who are with the company to Introduce their specialties during the action of the comedy. Mr. Lew Herman has been especially engaged for the title role and his work has been particularly commended upon everywhere as being an able characterisation.

Today the beautiful Orpheum will be crowded by the admirers of charming Billle Burke in "The Tell Tale Envelope," the fourth last chapter of "Gloria's Romance." Also the Broadway star feature, "Miss Adventure." a high class Vltagraph offering. Tomorrow, beautiful -Marie Doro, Theodore Roberts and Thomas Meighan In Marlon Fairfax's "Common Ground," a Iasky superfeature. which will surely draw capacity houses. A change of program went into effect at the Rex theater today and It will continue through Thursday. There are three fine vaudeville acts.

First comes Mildred Deane, whose dancing and singing have brought her fame and generous stipends on the larger circuits. Boss and Moore will present a singing, talking and dancing program.

(From The St. Louis Globe-Democrat) At the recent annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic the surgeon general of the great association of veterans offered some general advice in regard to the health of men who have reached TO or more.

He gave three simple rules for the preservation of a good physical condition as old age comes on. They are: Avoid excessive use of foods, excessive use of stimulants and excessive active or violent exercise. These safeguards are widely applicable, and are eo terse that they are easily remembered. The statistic of the Grand Army are carefully kept, and form a valuable criterion on this' subject. At the beginning of 115 the membership was Deaths during the year num bered a little over seven per cent.

In the general pension list the deaths are more than 100 a day, but the pensioners include soldiers' widows, and eurvivors of all the wars of the United States. Only a few are left who served In the Mexican war that ended in 1848. Eight or ten soldiers of the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 lived to be more than 100 years old, and possibly thirty or forty who were in the civil war will live to be centenarians. It Is probable that the rate of mortality among the veterans is higher than the general average. They went through a trying ordeal in camps and bivouacs, as well as In battle.

On occasion they made long marches, elept on the roads and In fields and at times rations w-ere scant. The deaths from disease outnumbered those from bullets. Over 2,600,000 men were enlisted in the union forces. At the latest report the membership of the Grand Army had declined to It embraces nearly all survivors who were in the service of the United States between 1861 and 1S65. The surgeon general gives good counsel on the best way to maintain good health to men of three-score and ten.

His recommendations are valuable to men of any age. Avoid excess of any kind, Is the tenor of his advice. The best rules or hvgiene are not complicated. If nil Individuals observed them health reports would quickly take a more favorable turn. Tne injunction not to use food excessively is the one most needed.

Conservation of the vital forces is evidently the best method of living long and comfort ably. To say so may be a truism, but it is not one of the self-evident racis that require no repetition. Many important battles have occurred in which the combatants were fewer than the deaths in the Urana Army last year. State News.

To the Editor Oshkosh, 8eptT 12. I nave never felt Inclined to criticise The Northwestern editorials as they are always high-class and generally fair to, all partisans. Hut I would like to offer a few comments on your recent renroduction entitled "A Story of a Socialist." a translation from the German by Guldo Bruno, probably intended to Injure the Socialist movement, but which, to my way of thinking, is plainly a foreign version of our old. old dlvldlng-up" Story the Irishman and his two goats, supposedly an Indictment of the Socialist proposals, but, in reality, an attack on the ancient doctrine of communism I (not socialism which was preached and partially practiced long years for. and ot ip.

died out in the Third century after the crucifixion. Just another word before proceeding to the point of this epistle. Communism, mind you. as the term would Imply, advocated the equal di vision of everything. It proposed Just the things that the translation men-1 lions, such as tne equal aivision i workingtnen's wages, the parceling out of all property, money, and.

Lord, the common kitchen community housekeeping, to all of which aoclal-Ism is diametrically opposed. However, we of America are yet well blessed (or cursed) by a aystem of enforced communism, to which social ism would give short ahrlft were it only half Inaugurated. I refer to the "dividing up" of American working-men's wages with the idlers of this and other countries, "dividing up" with the "widow and orphans," counts and no accounts, both foreign and domestic, who receive their sustenance from having invested in the aqua pura of which most of our enterprises are flooded, and on which holdings you and I and the rest of us must Indirectly fork over the Interest by paying the freight whether we like It or not. I also refer to the disagreeable and' very harmful species of communism! now in vogue In our larger cities and that exists In smaller towns in Just proportion to their population. For instance, In New York, hundreds of thousands of people are huddled together In tenements ranging from five to seven stories high.

In certain portions the population Is seventeen to eighteen thousand to the acre. Pure air Is unknown. The alleged air shafts which are also spoken of as light shafts, running from the roof downward, are so arranged as to make It easy for families to see into each other's living rooms, destroying the possibility of privacy even in sleeping and dressing. Also, indeed, there are numerous cases where many families live In one big room. "Community housekeeping," communism with a vengennee, is It not? "It 1s here" says a noted settlement worker, "that humanity rots where 'free love' thrives and even pa ternal Incest is not unknown." This is the result of enforced capitalist communism which congests the Industries Into centers for certain advantages and the wage slaves must follow In order to get the opportunity to earn a living, which always results in overcrowding, which, though the houses be detached as in smaller industrial localities, they are built so close together that privacy Is Impossible and that especially the children of the workers are subjected to undesirable companionship which ruins their morals, their disposition and their manners.

These things are the result of enforced communism, the same that socialism would first destroy. And your reprinted clipping Is a fair sample of capitalism's charging crimes to socialism of which capitalism Itself is guilty. It Is plainly the cry, "stop thief," of the professional pickpocket. J. C.

Money is plentiful and the government pro poften to place a popular local loan for war purposes of about $40,000,000. and It Is thought this can be easily taken up by the people of this country without interfering with the ordinary business transactions of the day.

What Happened to the Second German Submarine Liner? (From The Minneapolis Journal.) What has become of the Bremen, sister submersible to the Deutschland, end rromifed to arrive in some American port long ago? Was there really e.cr suiii a uoat at all? And if so, why has it failed to show up? The lapse of every day without news of the Bremen deepens the ihys-tery. The Germans may have invented a Bremen myth, just to keep the allies' scout ships busy and to confuse, the enemy. At first, when the Deutschland was safe in Baltimore harbor, it was said she would not start on her return trip until the Bremen had arrived.

But in due time she made her way out between the capes and beneath the surface, and also in due time her arrival In the! home port was announced. And still no news of the Bremen. Nevertheless, in all probability, there is or es a Bremen, for elaborate preparations were made to receive her in New Bedford, a German liner being moved down from internment at Boston to act as "mother ship." And the German plan for evading the blockade by use of merchant submarines must, logically have called for at least two undersea boata to begin with. All this suggests that the story brought from England by travelers that the Bremen has been captured and taken into an English port, may be true. It would be quite In accord with the English practice to suppress news of such a capture, and to permit the Germans to be harried by uncertainty.

Such has been the policy as to the war submarine, news of the capture or sinking of which has al ways been rigorously suppressed. By this means the psychological strain on the German submarine crews has been greatly increased. The latest announcement as to the Bremen predicts her arrival by Sep tember 17. If a boat Bhould now arrive bearing the name of Bremen, it would by no means disprove the story of English capture, for there has been tune to start out a third submarine merchantmant.

The women, In passing, glance at the war crosses and smile. Mme.

Bernardinl-SJoestedt in Cartoons Magazine. Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash It with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Just plain mulslfled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless). Is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair.

Simple moisten your hair with water snd rub It In. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at most any drug store.

It Is very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to last everyone In the family for months. fFrom Bruno'e Weekly.) I. Gray, heavy clouds muffled the valleys. And the peaks looked toward God alone. Master that movest the wind with a finger.

MODERN LONDON. How It Appears to an Observer from America. (The chaplain of a Canadian regiment, now in England with the British troops. Rev. G.

A. Wells, gives his Im pressions of the great city in the following words:) I don't like London. Too many con trasts. They call it the "heart of the empire." I don't believe It. It is a parasite growth on the back of the empire.

I would almost say a cancer eating the vitals of the empire. Why? Well, you see, I had never seen Lon don before. This is the first impres sion. See with me those dreadful con trasts brought out so clearly by the lurid lights of war. See the brave young men of London, bright as to socks and neckties, crowding to see others at once place, nine thousand at another, Heven thousand at another, and eo on, all one day; all enthusl astic watchers of the prowess of others, heedless to the call of the nation for men to uphold her honor and beat back the barbarian from her shore.

Then turn from these manly figures and watch Kitchener's army go by. Let me add something here: 'JrCitchener'g army of boys." Poor lit tle lads! Faces piteous in their boy ishness, untouched with a razor. How can they face the enemy's steel and check the barbarian slaughter? These are to be the defenders of the em pire, while thousands of well-fed, well-clothed creatures, who in the category go as men, watch the game of football festival to London's god. Now, come with me down the streets from "Maximes" to the Savoy, at night when, by the dreadful econ omy of war, the lights are out. See vice in its most hideous form strutting through the city, naked and unashamed; unreproved and unhindered.

The policeman, that strong arm of the law, so absorbed in watching the small boy, who, hungry-eyed, watches the "curranty bun" in the window, so anxious to protect the property of an honest citixen from the rapacity of a starving child that he misses the so- licitings of those dreadful vultures of the night, those miserable outcasts of society, whose life Is death ana worse. Come along to gome hotel and see an army of servile menials, cringing cads, falling over each other in well ordered confusion to pander to the luxurious tastes of Belgian, French and English rich. See them sup with the high-priced animals of tneir choice. The cost of a supper would equip a regiment and the male sex here would almost fill the ranks, see at one table gowns and Jewels, the price of which would feed a family of ten for a year, while on tne streets of the city hundreds beg for bread Can these, indeed, be sons of France and Belgium, living in ease and lux ury, while brothers wade in seas of blood? Can these, indeed, be offspring of the British race, drinking making merry, while sisters weep ana live on tears? London, I hate you! City of' contrasts. I hate you Intensely! Bruno's Weekly.

Winnebago county fair which occurs help the late fall crop dents occurring In China, and certain demaNis made by Japan, which gave rise to the American suspicions and caused the official Inquiry referred to.

Japan, in other words, evidently desires to avoid antagonism with this government over her own policy toward China, and would have us believe she is acting In good faith toward Vhina and with no intention of doing anything calculated to arouse American criticlnm and resentment. With all this effort at reassurance, however, the recent activities of Japan In China make it quite plain that Japan will bear watching, both for the pro-lection of American interests In that part of the world and for the protection of purely Chinese interests. That Japan Is endeavoring to dominate Chinese affairs Is quite clear, and while she may try to avoid outside antagonism a continued pursuit of this policy is almost certain, sooner or later, to result in more or less serious friction and disagreement. Naturally Japan hopes to avoid interference with her plans In China, hence her note of reassurance to this government. But the latter should, not take too much for granted, and must be vigilant and alert lest it later discover It has been fooled by Oriental diplomacy.

Troubles of the Barbers. Tt appears that some of the local barbers particularly the "boss" barbers are strongly opposed to the plan of boosting the price of haircuts to thirty-five cents. One of the leading "boss" barbers is quoted as saying he will not comply with this rule unless forced to do so, and he further suggests that the old established price of twenty-live cents is enough and that if a raise is attempted It will result in many men "wearing their hair longer." Without douht there Is much truth In this observation, as the barbers will discover If they Insist on trying to extract an additional dime from each customer when he has his locks trimmed. For even though the barbers may "need the money," the average man Is apt to feel exactly the same way about It, and he will commence to figure how he can play even by indulging In fewer hair-cuts, or by investing in a safety rasor and thus reducing his barber bill In another direction. Speaking of safety razors, moreover, this probably is at the bottom of the barbers' troubles and explains why they feel the' necessity of Increasing their revenue hy advancing the price of hair cuts.

So many men have taken to shaving themselves since the advent of the safety razor that tt materially has cut down To increase the price of shaves would away customers who still stick, and so the barbers seem to think they must put the load of additional expense on hair-cut patrons. But it Is a rather dangerous game for the barbers, who In this way may encourage home cuts as well as home shaves. Joined the Majority. vHsconsIn people will regret the death of William H.
