SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS
ITS REGULAR MEETING

A singular discussion took place at
the regular Saturday night meeting OF
the Salem school board, when Super
intendent Kuntz recommended that
some Portland daily paper be sub
scribed for and received In the public
schools. The school librarian re-
quested that such recommendation
be made TO the board, but Director
Miles objected.
On account of there being a chance
for dissension arising between the va
rious other mediums in the state in
the event just one paper was sub
scribed for, or reasons to that effect,
however, Mr., Miles declared that he
was not in favor of the schools taking
any papers on account Of its political
ideas, and that 1t would not be con-
sistent, either, to subscribe for two
papers representing two political
sides This question was brought up
before the school authorities several
years ago, but was not in favor, on the
same grounds. Director Lafky en-
dorsed the recommendation and moved
that 1t be adopted, but the other men,
bers of the board stood by Director
Miles view of 1t, and the motion was
lost
When this matter was introduced
heretofore, the board then serving de-
clared that the schools were no place
for political arguments, and that dis
sension would surely result in the
event the board attempted to equallze
matters by subscribing for two or
more papers.
In the monthly report submitted by
Superintendent Kuntz it is shown that
of the 2735 students now attending
the Salem public schools, the East
school has $50, Grant 254, Park 307,
Lincoln 372, Garfield 319, Englewood
23O, High school SOL, Richmond, 2O4,
Highland 24S.
Superintendent Kuntz recommended
in his report that the state eighth
grade examinations be taken in the
public schools together with the usual
city examinations. In this event, he
advised the board that certificate of
to the high school would be
supplied in addition to the state di-
ploma.
Miss Anfina Brown has resigned the
position Of teacher in the Engle-
wood school, and a vacancy was de-
llared by Superintendent Kuntz.
In common with the custom of the
majority of manufacturers and others
employing labor in the city school, the
school board Saturday night issued an
order whereby the janitors and other
employees may receive their monthly
salaries on December "a. This was
lone in order that the men may in
bulge in Christmas shopping.

Wilson on Banking Reform.
from December Banking Reform.

! From December Banking Reform.
There is a sense in which demo-
cratic country forces craftsmanship
upon every man of initiative, every
man capable of leading anybody; and
this, | believe to be the particular
period when craftsmanship Is forced
upon bankers and upon all those who
have to do with the application and
use Of the vast accumulated wealth Of
this country We should, for exam
pie, not only seek the best solution
for our currency difficulties, not only
the safest and most scientific system
Of elastic currency to meet the conve-
nlence Of the country in which the
amount Of cash needed at different
times fluctuates enormously and vio-
lently, but we should also seek to give
the discussions of such matters such
publicity and such general currency
and such simplicity as will enable men
Of every kind and calling to under
stand what we are talking about, and
take an intelligent part in the discus
sion. We cannot shut ourselves in
as experts to our own business We
must open our thoughts to the coun-
try at large, and serve the general in
telligence as well as the general well
are.--Woodrow Wilson.

The necessity for banking reform is
now generally recognized. There is
evidently no opposition to revision of
the monetary system. There is ac-
acknowledgement that the matter is of
great Importance Presdent-elect Will
son seems to rank 1t with tariff re-
form. One report says reform Of the
currency laws will be included in a
call for a special session Of congress.
Congressman Underwood said in re-
cent letter that he considered "oom-
plete revision of the banking and cur
rency system second only to tariff re-
form" William j. Bryan, according
to the New York Herald, takes it "for
granted that the plank of the Demo-
cratic platform dealing with the cur
rency question will be carried out"
Mr.. Bryan saw mo reason why the
banking and currency committee
should not consider it at the same
time the ways and means committee
is considering the tariff" Senator
O'Gorman, of New York, says currency
legislation should come at the earliest
practicable moment
The subcommittee of the banking
and currency committee, Carter Glass,
Of Virginia, chairman, has made an
exhaustive study Of the subject. Sen
ator Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma,
acting, report says, as the confidential
agent of President-eect Wilson, has
had conferences with several New
York bankers, presumably to gain an
Insight into their views. One of the
questions Mr. Wilson was to consid-
er during his vacation is banking re-
form. Congressman Burleson, Of Tex
as, says the duty of the Democratic
party is to secure a comprehensive
downward revision of the tariff, and
also a comprehensive revision of our
lntiquated currency system" In ad-
lition to these and similar manifesto
ions Of interest and activity, there is
much newspaper and public discus !
sion Of a question which a year ago
vas given very little general atten-
ion.
Thus as the result of five years of
.cute agitation and education, and of
many more years of elect discussion,
he question Of banking and currency
eform has reached the point of
where:
O 1t is popularity acknowledged
hat the existing system is obsolete
nd inadequate
1t is generally acknowledged that
must be done to remedy it.
Perhaps it is a great achievement
hat the question has been brought in
D such cOnspicuity that II is ranked
18th the foremost political topics of
ne day in Importance. 1t is progress
hat wherever there is found an out
ne Of necessary and prospective leg
ilation, our currency reform is found
ear the top
Democrats seems generally to have
acome imbued with the idea that the I
,form Of the currency is one of their {
lief responsibilities. Certainly It is ;
ne Of their great opportunities.

FOR AIDING COUNTY
AND DISTRICT FAIRS

To prevent log-rolling over county
and district fair appropriations Gov
ernor West has prepared a tentative
draft Of a bill to be submitted to the
legislature. For many years, it is
said, this evil has been responsible for
trading Of votes among members of
the legislature.
The governor declares that this log
rolling has been one of the most ex-
pensiye features of past sessions Of
the legislature. A millage plan to
provide funds for the fairs is the idea
of the governor Annually a tax Of
one-twentieth of a mill is to be appro-
prated for each county, or one-tenth
Of a mill every two years. If any
county does not take advantage of the
appropriation by holding fair the
money is to go into the road fund.
This provision will make it possible
'N' N""H'ANo tlltlJ uO llOJ uOlu lalTS TO
cut down their road levy by one
twentieth Of a mill. If two or more
counties combine to hold a district
fair the money will be provided from
the leyies for these counties and a
district fair board will be appointed.
Governor West vetoed eight dis
trlct and county fair bills following
the last Legislature. They were the
Grange Fair association, Multnomah
county $500; Tillamook County Fair.
$500; Columbia County Fair. $4,000;
Washington County Fair, $500; YAM
hill County Fair, $1,000; Clackamas
County Fair, $1,000; Lincoln, Sherman
Gillian and Wheeler District Fair,
$4,000.

Feel Bully? Take

Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness.
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver. delayed fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conGes-
ton and that dull throbbing, sickening
headache.
Salts. cathartic pills. oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway fer a
day or yes--but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect up
on the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenling food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the constipated waste matter aud
poisons in the bowels.

Your Gray Hairs
Quickly Vanish

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as hera!ds 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 a youthful
appearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you are looking III
gives one courage to undertake and
accomplish things. So why suffer the
handicap of looking old on account OF
gray hairs, when simple remedy Will
give your hair youthful color and
beauty in a few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as color restorer and
scalp tonic as we'll. Our grandmothers
used Sage Tea for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy we have an ideal preparation of
Sage, combined with sulphur and
other valuable remedies for dandruff,
itching scalp and thin, weak hair that
is split at the ends or constantly COM
ing out. A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
Scolor, and in a short time it will re-
move every trace of dandruff and
gteatly improve the growth and APP
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell it, un-
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded il the remedy is not exactly
