The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1912-03-22

A while age, we published short
verse by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It's
thought was an epitome of what
thousands Of words addressed to
proud mothers could not do SO for
cibly. 1t warned that dangerous
mother who announces that her
own daughter IS the one exception;
that hers will not be bad into fatal
sins Of temptations but can with
stand the evils Of any great white
way" without chaPeron.
Yes, some think so, but many do
not say it. In our gery midst,
sadness and, figuratively speaking,
gnashing Of teeth by such moth
ers have been the wage OF pride
and deception. Publicity of null
tiplifd instances is of no purpose.
Even fathers, and particularly,
those who for pelf and self or down
right mean commercialization Of
vice, be told a few true stories
about their own dear daughters,
that might stagger them into shame
and fatal remorse. 1t is only one
of thousands Of pangs Of pain
this is indeed the wage, the horri-
ble toll, they pay for their greed
and for their fond sentiments ag-
ainst law and order and Christian
virtues. There are, indeed, but
very few of such fathers. Talk
and facts may not reach them, so
they do not know.
Trysting places are many. You
cannot stop all vice, but gilded try
sting places, dark and secluded
sports are commercialized and this
promotes vice. Even, the educa-
tional value of 1000 moving pic
ture films can be subtracted from

MATTER OF PETITION
MEETS OPPOSITION

Editor of the Leader:-As inter
est in the public welfare demands
that Justice be done to the citizen
ship of our city, | believe that the
matter of the petition of the voters
to change the method of electing
the street commissioner, city at
torney and city engineer should be
properly presented to your readers.
The petition in question contain
ed 1920 signatures, being about 60
per cent of the number of voters
who voted at the last general cleo
ton. Only 80 per cent of such
number is required under the stat
ate. Does any reasonable person
presume that this number was
fraudulent?
The petition was filed on the 9th
day of March, in the office of the
city clerk, and the mayor was in
the office, | understand, at the
time. This was twenty-seven days
before election, and the law only
requires that it be filed fifteen days
before election.
Let it be understood, that the
petition was filed in due time, and
that no blame can be attached to
anyone connected with the filing of
the same or to those signing the
petition or those circulating the
same.
The entire blame of the petition
ers not securing their rights under
the law. rests wholly with the men
in Office and who are being paid
out of the taxpayers money to per-
form their duty. Kind reader, is
it not nearly time to suspect
that a house-cleaning is necessary?
Are we to permit the government
of our city to remain in the hands
of those who decline to act under
the law, even when a majority of
the voters demand it? It would ap-
pear that we have no right to Pc
tition and if things continue as the
Indicator points, you had better
lake out an indemnity policy to pro-
tect your vote.
1t is most absurd to claim that
the petition was not filed within
the required time. 1t is only a
method to thwart the will of the
people. Any attorney knows that
an order could be obtained to have
the names of candidates entered

A Milk Ordinance.

Isn't it about time that the common
council passed milk ordinance? Wa
tertOwn is the only city of its size in the
state that has not such an ordinance to
protect its people from imposition.
Many think that they are paying too
much for water, with the river and city
water 80 handy. 1t might be we'll to pass
such an ordinance and designate the
sealer of weights and measures to see to
its enforcement.

YOUR GRAY HhIhs
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

Z
A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery Of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
Choking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. 80
why suffer the handicap Of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time
Most people know that common gar,
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used s'Sage Tea" for keeping then
hair dark, soft and luxuilant. IN
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair isemedy
we have an ideal preparation OF sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
bic remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in snort
time it will remove every trace OF dan
druff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance of the hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the difference
in your hair after q few days treat
ment. All druggists sell it, under guar,
antee that the money will be refunded II
the remedy is not exactly as represented.

YELLED ATTACK MADE
UPON WOODROW WILSON
Country Being Flooded with Anony-

Special to the Daily Light.


Washington, Feb 27.-During
the past few days the country has
been flooded with letters and liter
ature fayoring a certain one of the
democratic candidates for the presi-
dency and viciously assailing Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson. Most of
this literature is bcing distributed |
anonymously from Washington. |
Democratic members of congress |

been amazed at the audacity Of
