The New York Herald states that the 10000 moving picture theaters in the United States in 1911 took In at the box office $500. 100000. practically $1.OOC.OO0 day for every working day in the year."
 This entire businesS-and it is one of the biggest and most prosperous in the world-depends Cor it's future upon the supply e new ideas for the pic ture plays The film companies sim ply MUST get new and novel plots at all times.
 The rapid increase in the photo play business has resulted in dearth of good plots. and the manufacturers are now offering big cash payments for suita ble ideas. As high as $1 .0O0 has been paid for single plots or written ideas, But the average price Is much lower than this figure. Sometimes 1t is the work of only twenty minutes to write an available plot.

 Much that should have been ac- complished by the General Assembly was not done.
 But more was accomplished than the most daring prophet would have predicted a. year earlier.
 Can Prof. Fisher claim a sound be- lief that political and industrial pro- greEs in Connecticut would be further advance if Governor Baldwin had not been. elected?
 Admitted that there are governors both Democratic and Republican, vanced than Governor Baldwin has, may it not be, is it not, indeed, the fact, that in every one of those states the people are more advanced and the legislatures more advanced.
 WHAT A GOVERNOR PROPOSES TO DO MUST BEAR SOME RELA- TON TO WHAT HE CAN PROB ABLY GET DONE, ELSE HE WILL GET NOTHING DONE.
 The Connecticut system makes the General Assembly vastly unconscious of most of the problems which are close to Prof. Fisher. Those prob Iems are industrial problems. They are the problems of cities. The Gen eral Assembly is well fitted to deal with the needs of rural Connecticut. but out of touch with the needs of cities.
 Perhaps Governor Baldwin took the General Assembly as far as it would go. Perhaps he took it further than it would have gone had he tried to take it too far.
 Prof. Fisher is an earnest, sincere, Democrat. He numbers his admirers in the Democratic party by the thou sands.
 He must ask himself if in the whole Democratic party at this time does not represent MORE progress than any other,
 He must reme1n Der that it can ac- complish no progress except with req sonable agreement among those who are Democrats in an understanding which embc lies no dishonor to any mars political beliefs, but does rep resent union upon the platform that parties cannot travel faster than the majorities who compose them.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Natur-
al 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
bv the use of a simple Sage Tea,
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked appear
ance they made a brew of Sage leaves
and applied it to their hair with Won
derfully beneficial fleet.
Nowadays, we don't have to resort
to the old-time, tiresome method OF
gathering the herbs and making the
ca. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do it ourselves;
and all we have to do is to call for the
1eedy-made product Wyeth's Sage and
Sulrhur Hair Remedy, containing Sage
in the proper strength, with the addl-
ton of Sulphur, another old-tlme scalp
remedy.
This preparation gives youthful col
or and beauty to the hair, and is one
of the best remedies you can use for
dandruff, dry, feverish, itching scalp
and falling hair. Get fifty cent bot
tie from your druggist today and you
will be surprised at the quick results
All druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the monev will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented

Jimmy
Gets a Dog

In a needless moment the King
thornes yielded to Jimmy's ardent and
vociferous pleas and admitted that it
might be possible to permit him to
have a dog to play with. Up to that
time they had been able to match his
teasing by succinct and comprehen-
sive moi" But now life was vastly
different.
Every homecoming of the elder
members of the family, if not greeted
by "Didyuh bring my dog?" was hailed
with the wall, when kin l have my
dog?" or 'Whut kind of a dog is it
I'm going to get?" until the King
thornes reached the stage where their
opinion on dogs as a whole was so
intense that it was wordless.
The situation led to discussions also,
for both Kingthorne and his wife &C.
cused the other of having been the
one who said the fatal word of assent.
The peace of the family was gone, and
the more they argued the worse it
grew Of the lot Jimmy was the
most injured, for with all the bicker-
ing because of a dog there wasn't any
dog
You said l could have a dog!" he
invariable ended in the plaintively ac-
cusing tone before which all well
brought up parents shrink.
When the Kingthornes had time to
look for dog they never could find
an attractive one, and if they did see
possibility they lacked the time
Sitting in her living room one after
noon conversing with visitors about
green tomato pickles. Mrs. Kingthorne
after staring from the window, gave
a little shrek
Gust the thing!" she cried. How
did it get there?'
WHAT" demanded her caller.
There aren't green tomatoes growing
out there!"
"Pickles?" repeated Mrs. King
thorne, dreamily. mo, it's a dog 1t
doesn't seem to belong to any one,
either!"
Everybody looked. The dog was
most apparently youthful, because it
still wabbled slightly when it walked,
or, rather, rolled. For it was fat and
globular, made still more so by
thick coat of woolly brown fur. From
one end Of the brown mass a pink
nose stuck out and from the other
end protruded tiny plumed tail. He
really was too much like an ideal
puppy to be quite true.
There isn't soul in sight" as.
serted Mrs. Kingthorne. And nobody
would let puppy like that go for
walk alone, so it must be lost It'll
get stepred on or stolen or something,
and to own it would send Jimmy into
Mysteries Of joy so, really, I think it
is my duty to rescue the puppy. don't

Socialists Didn't Oppose Laborites.

To the editor of The Times: In an
swer to many questions during and since
the municipal campaign. The charge
that the Socialists were in the field to
defeat the labor men is unfounded The
Socialist is a party of the working class
and voices the expression of the same
ON the political field, as the trade un-
ions voice their expressions on the in
dustrial field. The Socialist does not
quarrel with the candidate or with in
dividuals, it is the system our fight
is with Since Socialism is the ex-
preston of the workers on the political
field, the Republican and Democratic
parties are the expression of the capt.
talst on the political field and defend
the present system After Lincoln was
elected, the Republican had served its
purpose and Is identical with the Demo
Gratis. 1t makes little difference to
the Socialist whether the two old par
ties are headed by laboring men or CAPT
talists, they do not seek to change the
system from its present order of taking
rent, interest and profit from the pro-
ducing fworkingl class.
