4Trial Will Go On"

When District Attorney Pelletier
learned of the confession of Richeson, he
said:i
"The trial will go on just the same,
no matter what statement may be is
sued by Richeson."
II was stated at the courthouse un-
officially that the remark of the district
attorney implied that Richeson would be
permitted to plead to some accepted
change in the Indictment.
Attorney Pelletier qualified his first
statement later by admitting that Richie
ion might possibly be brought into court
before the day set for trial, but that
such action would depend upon the at
titude of his counsel. This is regarded
nv those at the courthouse as an indi-
cation that the district attorney and the
sourt might accept his plea OF guilty
of murder in the second degree and send
him to prison for life.
Rumors that Richeson would never
face a jury in "a trial for life have been
1;fe about the city for several weeks
iut they all failed when they reached
his counsel or the district attorney.

Chief Justice Aiken, when told o.
Richeson's confession, refused to maxi
any statement regarding it or TO sa,
what effect it might have on the trial.
Good lawyers in Boston stated tina

S%CHOOLHOUSES
AS EMPLOYMENT OFFICES


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Utiliza-
ton of the schoolhouses of the coun-
try as employment offices for those
out of work has been taken under
consideration by the United States
bureau of education. which has ap-
proved any movement that will make
the schoolhouses more general in
their sphere of usefulness.
Professor John B. Commons, of the
Wisconsin Industrial Commission, is
one of the principal advocates of the
plan to utilize the schools as labor
exchanges. The proposed plan con-
templates the opening of a regular
channel of inter-communication be-
tween the schools of a State with ref
erence to the unemployed. Through
the directors of the social centre con-
nected with the schoolhouses the man
out of work, on registering the fact
of his lack of employment, could be
placed in touch with employers over
a broad field. Educators and scien-
lists believe the organization of such
a system would do a vast amount of
good in popularizing education.

BRYAN ISSUES FINAL
APPEAL TO THE VOTERS

NEW YORK. Nov. Am appeal
by William Jennings Bryan to the
people of the United States to sup
port the Democratic candidates has
been made public by the Democratic
National Cornmittee. In this appeal
Mr.. Bryan says, in part:
"On the eve of another Presidential
election, with the day for choosing =
successor to President Taft but a
few days distant, l find the outlook
for Democratic success bright, in
deed. In no States that I have visited
have I found any indications that the
electoral votes will be given to either
Taft or Roosevelt. Democratic sue
cess seems as absolutely certain as
anything human can be. Everywhere
hope is ascendant and the very air
seems surcharged with the spirit of
approaching victory"

AID CLOSE STATES
viii Have ice-Presidential
Candidate to Swing Voters
Into Line.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The pro-
gram of the leaders of the national
Republican campaign IS to have by
Tuesday a candidate for the late
Vice President Sherman's place in
every State where the Republican
chances are at a low ebb in order to
swing the State into line for the Re-
publican ticket if possible and then
name the man whom the machine ac-
tualfv wants after election. =.
The possibility that neither Gov
ernor Wilson nor Colonel Roosevelt
might ob9in a majority of the votes
IN the Electoral College on Tuesday
has filled some of the Republican
leaders with the hope that they nay
name the next President, as the
House of Representatives is dead
locked and might not be able to settle
the question within the 100 days fixed
by the Constitution. In this case the
vice-president chosen by the United
States Senate might become presi-
dent.
The national committee has been
called to meet in Chicago November
12--one week after election-to NOM
mate a Republican candidate for
vice-president in place of Mr.. Sher-
man. The candidate SO nominated
will presumably receive the votes in
TIE Electoral College when it meets
in January Of all Republican electors
who receive a plurality of the votes
cast in any State next Tuesday.
Among the men most favored by
members of the committee as Mr.
Sherman's successor are John Wanna

BULL MOOSE
IN WASHINGTON
Great Shadow Looming Larger
on Political Horizon at
Capital.

WASHINGTON, Nov. LIN Wash
ington, where no brass bands boom
and orators do not thunder, there is
opportunity to set a steady peepsight
on the national election, and the bald
fact is that the political horizon is
completely filed by the looming fig
ure of the Bull Moose.
At one spot where political delu-
sions might be excused there are
none. The President, in the inner
circle of the White House, frankly
admits his coming defeat and is rec
onciled to the inevitable. The bitter
est part is hat he strongly fears that
he is to be succeeded by the man to
whom he was successor.
To his close friends the President
does not disguise his belief that not
only may Roosevelt deadlock the
Electoral College, but that even his
election is a strong probability. All
the confidential reports which have
reached the President during the past
week indicate that Taft has not made
any progress. that Wilson has lost
ground and that Roosevelt has gain
ed and is gaining by leaps and
bounds.
AS the President and his immedi-
ate friends see the situation Raf.r
welt has more than a fighting chance
in New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Massachusetts,. Illinois, In
diana and Michigan, in addition TO
States in the West that ne win I'M
doubtedly carry. Among the larger
of the far Eastern States 1t is
thought certain that New Jersey and
Pennsylvania will fall into the Roose-
veh column. Added to this IS the
possibility of a landslide, which may
again sweep Roosevelt into the White
House.
1t is thought that there will be no
Wilson landslide. If he wins it will
be by a slim margin with the issue
in doubt until the last vote is
counted. On the other hand. all re-
ports reaching Washington indicate
a growth in Roosevelt sentiment
which may portend the most remark
able political upset in American his
tory. >

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
the Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a
dozen will take its place." is an old
saying, which is, to a great extent,
true, if no steps are taken to stop
the cause. When gray hairs appear
it is a sign that Nature needs assist
ance. It is Natures call for help.
Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, oil hair
that is falling out, is not necessarily
a sign of advancing age, for there
are thousands Of elderly people with
perfect heads of hair without a sim
gle streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that n of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our
grandparents used. The best prepa-
ration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur.
scientifically compounded with later
discovered hair tonies and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry. parched hair.
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its natu-
raj color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by all drug
Eists.
