SAGE TEA WILL
,DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
simple "Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-made
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF ENGLISH.

When young Rudolf Won Hammer

much difficulty in mastering the rud-

most trying experience was when he
went to Boston and was told that It
was required Of him that he should

WRECKED.
~ N4 A~AHAs

The reactionaries with their steam
roller won out. But it was an ex-
pensive victory. It was not a real
triumph at all for the Taftites after
having stolen control and having re-
fused to loosen their hold met with
no real opposition.
President Taft says the republican
party has been saved. only a part
was saved. Unless all signs fail the
larger and livlier element of the party
has been Topped off completely. The
part that remains is so nearly dead
it is doubtful if it is worth the saving.
Without its progressibe wing the re-
publican party will have as much
chance for success as has the pro-
verbal snow ball in the realm of great
heat.
There Is no enthusiasm for Taft.
His own followers even did not want
him and they would have gladly
ditched him could they have found
another man. The enthusiasm in
Chicago Saturday night was at the
Roosevelt new party meeting, not at
the Coliseum. There was no en-
thusiasm in Pendleton over the Taft
nomination. When the news of the
standpat victory was being thrown
upon the Masonic Hall Saturday eve
ming there was never a ripple Of ap-
plause.
At the present time the situation is
squarely up to the democrats. The
Teactionaries have choked the repub-
lican party to death. It remains to
be seen whether they can do the
same with the democratic party.
They are trying It and it is the most
idiotic line Of action possible. The
situation plainly calls for the nomi-
nation by the democrats Of a strong
progressive. Yet the machine politi-
e4aIiS u LHe uemOCrdtlc party are
striving desperately to gain control
and nominate a conservative. They
are trying to commit suicide but they
are so bigotted they do not know it.
Just now it seems incredible that the
standpatters can capture the demo-
cratic party also. The East Ore
gonian is Of the belief the Baltimore
convention will show common horse
sense and nominate either Woodrow
Wilson or Bryan. However that re-
mains to be seen.
The only certain thing thus far is
that the republican boat is upon the
rocks and is doomed. Those aboard
have the option Of taking to the new
party life boat or Of remaining be-
hind to go down with the ship. It is
hard predicament for many.

WHERE MISERY is BRED.


There are more than 100000 il.
/ literates in the United States, and one
in seven of all children between IL
and II are not in school, according
to the Child Labor Bulletin, a new
quarterly review issued by the Nation
al Child Labor Committee. Twenty
nine states do not care whether chill.
dren can even read and write when
they permit them to go to work, and
there are a million children today
under the age of 16 years who are
employed in the various industries of
the country, in addition to another
million in agriculture, only a part of
whom are assisting their parents on
the farm"
The first number of the Bulletin is
devoted to child labor and education,
the subject of the Eighth Annual
Conference on Child Labor, held in
Louisville, but incidentally it shows
how far the United States has pro-
fressed since the first child labor law
was passed in Massachusetts, in 1875.
Thirty-nine states have passed child
labor laws since the organization Of
the National Child Labor Committee
in 1904. The fourteenth birthday is
now the lowest limit for work for
children in the northern states, with
the single exception of New Hamp-
shire and in four southern states:
Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and
Virginia. What is involved in the alb
sence of adequate restriction is vividly
expressed by p. p. Claxton, United
states commissioner of education:
I'm the Carolinas have seen chill
dren under ten years of age working
their lives away in the mills. Their
pale faces haunt me still. 1 saw little
boys eight years old drinking black
coffee at midnight to keep awake un-
til the end of their shift at four or
five o'clock in the morning. Then
they went out of the hot, steaming,
noisy mill into the cold air of the
morning to their homes probably for
a little fitful sleep and a drowsy,
jcyless day, only to come back at
night and grind again through the
long, dark hours"
Having noted progress the Bulletin
offers the following Indictment of the
child labor system, namely, that "child
labor means racial degeneracy the
perpetuation of poverty, the enlarge
ment of illiteracy, the disintegration of
the family, the increase of crime, the
lowering of the wage scale and the
swelling Of the army of the unem-
ployed.

4 MORE OPEN FIGHT.

After having selected Parker to be
temporary chairman Of the democrat
ic convention the machine politicians
on the demo national committee tell
Bryan TO be good and not raise dis
turbance. Harmony is wanted, since
they will be on the inside If they get
Parker. But Bryan does not want
that sort Of harmony. He does not
want standpatter to be spokesman
for a progressive convention and he
should be able to break it up. There
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-06-24

are few contests in the democratic
convention and so there wont be such
opportunity for steam roller work as
there was at Chicago, Nor is there
brigade Of office holding delegates
in the convention. The democratic
convention is usually a free parla-
ment and to such a meeting Bryan
can make a tremendous appeal. It
win be interesting TO watch the fight
tomorrow, Il will be more interest
ing than the Chicago affair because it
promises TO be a free and open fight

a HUMOROUS PLANK.

The republican platform states OPP
position to special privilege and mo-
nopoly yet upholds the principle of a
protective tariff. 1t shows the meet
ing was not devoid of humor, If the
protective tariff does not afford
special privileges for few at the ex-
pense OF many then the moon is made

LITIGANTS FACE PROSECUTION
Twenty Divorce Cases in Which
Only introductory Judgments Were
Granted are Ordered Taken Up by the
Attorneys Interested.

Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit
court on Friday issued a formal order
to Attorney Alfred L .Drury, the d.
vorce counsel, demanding that inter
locutory DEGREES of divorce now on the
books Of the circuit court be cleared
up and Attorney Drury is to take up
this matter with the attorneys of the
various litigants with view of hav-
ing final judgments recorded in the
various cases.
An examination of the records of the
court shows that there are a total of
twenty-one cases in which interlocutory
DEGREES of divorce were granted under
the old law and in all of these cases
the divorce does not become absolute
until a final settlement is made by the
court. 1t is feared that the continu-
ance of these cases in their present
state will result in real estate tangles
and possibly in criminal prosecutions
of the men and women connected with
them Some of the cases date back as
far as July, 1909, and none of the cases
cited have been on the books of the
county for less than one year. Friday
one of the women who had been plain
tiff in a divorce action in which an
interlocutory decree had been entered
sought to secure license for a second
marriage. All the plans had been
made for the marriage ceremony, but
the plans are all off as County Clerk
Jones refused to issue the license and
the woman was advised that she would
not be permitted to marry in this state
and that marriage contracted in any
other state would not be recognized
until after she had secured a final de-
cree for divorce. The plans for the
marriage were hurriedly recalled and
the attorneys for the woman will at
once file motion for final judgment.
Judge Belden in open court has de
clared invalid one marriage in which
one of the parties had been a htigant
in a case where an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce was granted and Judge
Randall has fined two parties who mar
ried pending the interlocutory decree
becoming final for contempt of court.
1t is declared that there are other cases
in which the district attorney will be
instructed to bring criminal actions.
While these violations of the law may
be. all of a technical nature the court
has demanded that the cases be clean
ed up so that the divorces granted in
this county under the old provisions of
the law will have some standing in
court.
1t is expected that a large number of
these cases will be cleared up between
now and the September term of the
court.

BODY IS IDENTIFIED.
Remains of Boy Taken from
HarbOr Identified as Six
Year Old Gustav Balsch.
MOTHER SEEKS SON IN VAIN

The remains Of the little boy who
drowned in the Kenosha harbor late
Friday afternoon, were identified just
after 6 clock Friday evening as those
of Gustav Balsch, aged years, the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gustav Balsch, who re-
side at 800 North street. From 3 clock
until O'Clock the remains of the vic
tim Of the harbor remained unidentified
at the Mischief and Stanton morgue and
just after 6 clock the father Of the
boy came running into the morgue. He
took one look at the little body on the
slab and burst into tears. Later the
mother of the child arrived at the
morgue and the grief of the mother
and father was beyond description.
Little Gustav had left his home at the
north limits of the city just after eleven
clock on Friday, taking with him the
dinner pail Of his father, who was en-
ployed at the plant of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company. For months
the little boy had made it custom to
carry dinner to his father and when he
reached the factory he waited for the
father to eat the lunch and then he
begged him to allow him to stop on the
way home to play with some other boys.
The father finally consented, but as his
mother had always feared that he might
fall into the harbor, the father went
with the boy as far as the north end of
the bridge. He returned to his work
in the factory and shortly after the
boy met his little friends, and they re-
turned to play along the water front.
The mother waited at home for the
return of the boy, and she was out
searching the North Side for him when
she learned that he had been drowned.
The father was hurrying home from his
work when some pedestrian told him
of the drowning of the little boy and he
at once hurried to the morgue.
Coroner Stanton held that i would
not be necessary to hold an inquest
over the remains Of the little boy.

it has meant good deal in past years
to make the Democratic fight because
of the lack of encouragement on the
part OF the voters, and this fact may
count for a great deal in his favor
should he decide to enter the race. What
lis moore, the Democrats have been ac-

last few years.
There is still mention Of the names of
Judge Aldro jerks of Dodgeville and
George B. Hilton of Oshkosh in connec-
ton with the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, although neither of them
| is showing any desire to be mentioned
for the honor. Both men have many
friends who think the nomination of
either might add to the party strength.
There is still much talk also in re-

CARDS the lesser nominations, although
as yet there are no announced candi-
dates for the minor nominations.

DEDICATE AN ARCH.
Veterans Of Civil War Take Part in In

veterans OF Civil War Take Part IN In
teresting Ceremony on Wednesday.
Survivors of the depleted ranks of
ten Wisconsin regiments which march
Jed from Camp Randall more than half
century ago, hundreds of representa-
tives of the Sons of Veterans and of
the Woman s Relief corps Joined in the
impressive ceremonial marking the
dedication of the memorial arch at the
entrance of the old training grounds,
Wednesday afternoon.
The arch was formally presented to
the state by Lieut. Col J. A. Watrous
of Milwaukee, chairman of the commits
sion, who said in part:
ut is safe to say that from no camp
of instruction, where there were no
more commands, did there GO forth
better class of soldiers, who made bet
ter records as fighters, or in which
there were so many promotions on
merit, as from Camp Randall.
We, the small army of survivors of
the large army which left Camp Ran
dali in war days, have this day been
flooded with happy and sorrowful mem
cries. 1t saddens to realize, as we do,
that three fourths of our comrades sleep
in graves, known and unknown; the
knowledge that as youngsters we were
in Camp Randall, now made memorable
for all time, by the states gift of this
park and memorial, and that we had
part in the war that had to come, and
which gave to the world its greatest and
best nation, fills our hearts with glad
ness not readily expressed. We shall
go from here with the belief that for
centuries to come our old camp ground
this appropriate memorial arch, and the
history of the service of those who
camped here, will exert large influence
in forming the character of the multi
tude that will see the arch, enter the
grounds and read the history"
The memorial was accepted for the
state by Col Duncan McGregor, secre-
tary Of Gov. McGovern, and the dedi-
catory address was given by Bishop
Samuel Fallows Of Chicago. The Rev.
W. J. Mckay of Madison gave the in
vocation and dedicatory proper.

BECKER WOULD GO TO MADISON
Former Employee of Government Plans
to Seek Republican Nomination for
Member of Assembly Cleark Issues
Formal Instructions to Candidates.

Republican and Democratic Office
seekers in Kenosha county are tired
of awaiting the action of the Republi-
can and Democratic National conven-
tions and petitions were taken out on
Friday and today for many candidates
at the coming September primary cleo
tion.
Petitions were taken out on Friday
for the nomination Of B. M. DeDiemar
as Democratic candidate for Clerk Of

ments of the day is that Frank Becker
will take out petitions as Republican
candidate for Member Of the Assembly.
Mr.. Becker has been in the government
immigration service for number of
years but he has always retained his
residence in Kenosha and it is under
stood that he will make strong fight
for the nomination for Member of the
Assembly. He seems perfectly willing
to try conclusions with former Mayor
Scholey should he lead the Democratic
ticket.
1t is expected that half a dozen
other candidates who have been close
TO petlt1ons Tor week Will get into
the campaign the first Of next week.
Clerk Jones has prepared statement

seeking county Offices. 1t will be neces-
sary for the Republican candidates to
secure 103 names and the highest pos
sible number is 80. The petitions
must be circulated in at least three of
the voting precincts of the county,
The Democratic candidates must have
petitions signed by not less than 60 and
not more than POI voters. All petitions
