WILSON'S DEMOCRACY
MAKES THEM SMILE

Mr.. Wilson is daily giving assurances
that he is a democrat, not only in poll
tics, but in social affairs. In other words,
would be glad. in imitation of Mr. Jeffer-
son, to ride down Pennsylvania avenue
take the oath of office. and go to work.
Republicans consider this attitude of
Mr.. Wilson "grandstand play TO win
the hearts of the boys of the hollows and
the hills who are alleged to wear wool
hats. But there is very little to be criti-
cized when a President-elect expresses his
desire to dispense with ceremonies and
functions when such outward display of
inward desire for personal aggrandize-
ment is attended with such enormous
costs schargable, in the last analysis, 10

IF the federal government has no right,

Because If the bill is not amended as

the state of Connecticut is confiscated.
Because the state of Connecticut owns

ANOTHER CAUSE OF
DEMOCRATIC ALARM

postmasters, whom Mr.. Taft was shrewd
enough in the psychological moment to
put under civil service regulations but
will retain also other republican office
holders who have proved themselves val

revenue departments, but those who are
filling consulate positions of minor impor-
tance as WELL
Democratic congressman who believe
that democrats are just as capable, juet
as honest, and just as worthy of the
spoils of office as republicans, look with
disfavor on the reported intention of MI
Wilson. They argue that the democrats,
so long deprived of desirable positions
under the plum tree, are now entitled to
come under the bush and extend their
aprons for whatever fruit might drop of
its own accord or might be shaken free.
Should Mr.. Wilson assume his ethical
and theoretical position, it is pointed out
that whereas he might win the commen-
dation of Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt.
and others of the peculiarly progressive"
type so excellently typifed by those cele-
brities and trouble makers, he will alie-
nate the entire army of democratic office
seekers and lose the ardent affection OF
others who desire nothing for themselves
at the hands of the chief executive.
This is one of the situations fast devel-
oping concerning which democrats are
fearful and republicans scxuberant.

Unusual Unselfishness

From the facts stated it will be readily
conceded that the state health officer has
certainly not manifested any cupidity in
the direction of a salary; on the con-
t, airy. that he has exhibited an unset
nshness that is not very often seen.
"A word In regard to the salaries of
prs. Perry and Moss both of which have
been mentioned in news items In way
calculated to make erroneous impress
sions In regard to them.
''The former DR.. Perry, is in immediate
charge of the department of vital and
Nortuary statistics, stupendous under
taking that promises great things for the
Industrial development of the state and
demands the services of a man peculiarly
adapted to the work, such as DR.. Perry
IS. Anyone who will look into his de-
rartment and see what is being done will
/, adily concede that he abundantly earns
his salary, and that from every point OF
view his department should be devel-
cped.
''Dr. Moss Is in charge of the laboratory
and the Pasteur institute, two institutions
that are rendering an immense service
to the people of the state. One-half hour
spent In observing the laboratory and
Pasteur work will satisfy anyone that
d.. Moss services are very valuable and
fruitful to the people of the state.
aDr Moss was first employed In the
labora tory as assistant state bacteriolog'st
and received salary commensurate with
ii at position Later on when the position
OF state bacteriologist became vacant he
was promoted to the vacancy and nat
urally succeeded to the salary attached to
that position Any citizen of the state
who win fully inform himself as to what
br. Moss Is doing will not entertain any
doubt whatever as to the justice and
equity of his salary

such a record?
Due to His Vigilance
at Is needless to add that this pro-
lection was due to the vigilance untlr-
ing devotion to duty, to accuracy of dag
nosis in discovering the danger and TO
promptness in guarding against IT, on the
nart of the state health officer. Through
cut those perilous and eventful years he
vas working for the cause, was trying to
ruild up the public health system of the
state and to demonstrate TO the people
what it was capable oil achleYins, During
all of this time the salary of the state
health officer was not equal to that of a
re sponsibIe clerk in any first class busi-
ness house.
I'm 1907 the legislature made much
more liberal appropriation to the state
board of health than Ii had ever done be-
fore. giving 1t $4,000 per annum After
tfis was done the state board unanimous
~ adopted the following resolution:
whereas, the office of state health
officer since the death of DR.. Jerome
Cochran has been filled with marked ef-
rciency and sagacity by the present en-
c,1lnbent. and that while the talent dis
paved in administering the duties of said
office has been of an exceptionally high
order, the compensation attached there
10 has been wholly inadequate; therefore,
be IL
Resolved That it is the sense of this
sssociation that the salary of the said
state health officer should not be less
than 5000 per annum, and to this end this
pl Gamble and resolution be and is here
hv referred to the state board of censors
for such action in the premises as in the
Judgment of said board may be expedient
and wise
The state health officer declined to
accept the salary thus unanimously ten
Gered him by the state board of health,
assigning as a reason for declining the
urgency of other needs for money. He
did, however. at that time accept salary
at $1,000, the first time In IL years OF
arduous and responsible service that the
salary had approximately reached respec-
table proportions. subsequently, the sal
erv was increased to 1920. in 1910 the
state board of health again unanimously
adopted a resolution placing the salary at
5000. This increase of salary the state
health officer declined to draw until after
The legislature of 1911 had increased the
approximation for public health purposes
To $4,000. Then in view of the fact that
the work had been greatly widened by the
addition of the laboratory and the Pas
tour institute, the state health officer
consented to draw a salary commensurate
v sth the dignity and responsibility of the
position he was filling, salary which
mad been twice offered, once as far back
as 1907 and again in 1910. Judged by
every standard that should be considered
in determining what salary should be at

Obvious that the board of health in ex-
ercising in determining what salary
Should be attached to an official posi-

cceded the bounds of justice and equity
in fixing the salary of the state health
officer.

MURDER MYSTERY
IN MANS suicide

La Crosse, Wis. Oct. 1.-THE turn
ing of the supposed suicide case OF
Thomas Rye into one of murder, by
testimony Of medical experts and the
verdict of the coroners jury, leaves
the police completely mystified, and
every effort is being made today to
find clew which will lead to the dis
covery of the assassin.
Until DR.. A. Gundersen, who con-
Quoted the autopsy, went on the stand
last night, it was the theory that
Rye, after a saloon quarrel, had wan
dered away and committed suicide by
drowning. Dr.. Gundersen and DR.. r.
E. Flynn swore that heath was not
caused ''by drowning, but by a blow
upon the head from a heavy instru-
ment. The jury then returned ver-
dict OF murder by persons unknown.
The police are holding Nicholas
Hefti, who had a quarrel with Rye
in the saloon, but there is no evidence
to connect him With the mans death,
and he probably will be released.
No motive for the murder has yet
been developed. The dead mans
money and other yaluables were all
found on the body

So, 1t appears from official returns of

These consuming countries are
Great Britain and Europe east of Rus,

west Farmstead believes those coun-
tries will need to import between 800

In the case of corn, only about $50

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair dark and glossy at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and iustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dundruif,, itching seal p and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for ':Wyeth;s Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You will get large
bottle for about 80 cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen q sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time: by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two. your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick ana glossy and you look years
younger.
