There appears to have been a big
slump in the demand for Judge Halls
resignation of the seat on the SUI
preme bench that he can't take I'M
til after the next election. The soft
pedaling of this erstWhile noisy
issue is doubtless due in large
measure to the suggestion that if
it is proper for Judge Hall, because
he is a candidate for governor, to
resign an office he doesn't hold, it
is still more in accord with the pro-
prieties that Governor Sanders, who
is a candidate for senator, should
resign the office he does hold. How
true it is that Resignation is a vir-
tue-in the other fellow.

DARk EMS HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and
Gray Hair Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

From time immemorial, sage and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. II Almost everyone knows
of the value of such a combination
for darkening the hair. for curing
dandruff and falling hair, and for
making the hair grow. 5..
In olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct, skillfully compounded in per-
fectly equipped laboratories. The
Wyeth Chemical Company of New.
York put up an ideal remedy of this
sort, called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, and authorize
druggists to sell it under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if it
fails to do. exactly as represented.
If you have dandruff, or if your
hair is turning gray or coming out,
don't delay, but get bottle of this
remedy today, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you.
:. This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. :. =.

SOMETHING NEW. in POLITICS.

: 1T is admitted, says the Chicago
Record-Herald, sthat Governor
Woodrow Wilson dominated the
state convention of his party. Yet
the convention failed to indorse him
for the Democratic presidential nom
nation, and it failed because he per-
sonally argued and protested against
such an Endorsement. He pointed GU t
that the Geran election act-which,
by the way, he prepared and caused
the reluctant legislature to pass as a
leading administration measure
limited the functions Of the state
convention and by implication vested
indications of choice for the presi-
dency in the voters themselves. He
objected to a violation of the spirit
of the most important reform act of
the last session. ..- .......

unprecedented in politics. A favorite

stimulation of his own boom by the
state convention is new spectacle
