Archdeacon Willie Entertains

The members of the Business Mems
Club and some few other gentlemen
guests were delightfully."- entertained
by Archdeacon Wyllie at St. Marks
rectory on Wednesday night. The
timo was devoted to conversation OF
an informal nature in easy chairs be-
fore a CRATE fire, with some excellent
cigars to make the affair more bind
ing. Then followed a luncheon of
coffee and sandwiches and-more ci-
gars. The Archdeacon is a most de-
lghtful host, as well as effective
worker in the interests of his church
and when he bids you come to his
home for a chat it requires no coax
ing.
Under his wise administration St
Marks parish has steadily increased
in membership and influence in this
city, and it's rector's popularity is not
confined to his church. He is force
for good in the community.

Dear Sir: Your letter of the 22nd

ment made by A.. e. Brown, socialist
lecturer, in which he said that the
United. States government issued four
times the amount of gold certificates
that it had on hand in gold to redeem

/ thank you for your promptness in
calling my attention to this mis-
leading statement, and beg to in
wife your cooperation in placing be-
fore the people of your city the terms
of the law under which gold and silver
citerficates are issued.
You are advised as follows: The
United States government observes
strictly the terms of the law under
which gold certificates are issued
and at no time are there gold certi-
hcates In circulation in excess Of the
gold coin or bullion held In the
treasury for their redemption. The
same rule has been observed. as &c

The Worlds Biggest Arch.

Engineering News: In reinforced
concrete arches, as in transatlantic
steamers, the palm of superlative
greatness is transitory. Hardly are
the centering timbers down. in the one
case, or the maiden voyage over in the
other, before the h~lueprints Of a great
er bridge or boat are hanging to dry
in the office of some ambitious eng1-
neer.
For two years the 32S-foot Risorgi-
mento arch across the Tiber at Rome
has been the longest reinforced-co con

spans increased, but gradually. slowly,

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Will government ownership of rail
roads and other great public service
corporations be brought about at some
future date, by a gradual process OF
public policy that will make the men
backing those lines of industry glad
to turn them over to the government?
The Saturday Evening Post says in a
recent editorial: .
Probably more serious talk of gov
eminent ownership circulates in rail-
road circles now than ever before
Really serious conversation on thai

SOCIALIST FALLACY EXPLODED.

"A. e. Bowen. the socialist lecturer,
made a statement at Minor. N. d. as
he has probably done in several other
North Dakota towns he has visited
tor the effect that the United States
government issues four times the
has ON hand in gold to redeem them,
This statement was challenged by +.
w. Vail, president Of a Minor bank,
and the matter was taken up with
United States Treasurer John Burke,
who answered that at no time are
their gold certificates In circulation in
excess of the gold coin or bullion to
redeem them.
THE complete correspondence re-
garding the matter Is published in
this issue of The Forum.
This is a good illustration of the
poor policy of taking every statement
that a speaker makes as the gospel
truth. A crowd will stand wide-eyed
and gaping on a street corner. while
some ranter tears off statistics by the
yard and many Of them take every
thing he says as the truth and do not
stop to consider that he may be mis-
! taken, or that there may be other
facts which would throw an entirely
different light on the subiect-or thai
he may be deliberately twisting the
truth.
Often the whole speech of the
soap box speaker is built around some
false logic, which, were it p%unctured
would bring his whole argument
tnmbling like a house of cards.

points the public estimate of the ad-
naRnistration of justice in the hoosier
state.
The elder Hanley had for years per-
sisted in systematic cruelty to his
wife. the mother Of the muscular
preacher. Calling her foul names. de-
priving her Of the privilege of riding
to church, and destroying her clothes
when she walked. cursing and swear
ing when she went visiting the neigh
bors or when they called on her, re-
fusinR to let her read anything save
UGH as suited his fancy to have her
q aloud to him. removing the house
telephone so hat she could not talk
to her friends-these were a few of
the things that old man Hanley fore
ed his patient wife to submit to. Such
a man is Unfit for association with a
decent woman but so deep was Mrs.
HanleY's sense Of duty that she re-
fused to accept a home offered her by
her son.
The caliber Of that son is dem
strated by this public statement. made
by him:
I owe everything to my mother.
Many are the times when ! was a boy

kept my hands off father, but when

speakable name. and wished that she
were lin hell" I could not stand it
any longer.
Small wonder that this sons wrath
was aroused beyond control. and it is
to his credit that he gave the old
rapscallion a. sound spanking. He de-
serves a medal instead of an indict-
ment, n the public awaits with much
curiosity the result of his trial.

a meeting here last evening, made the
statement that the United States gov

of gold certificates that it had on hand
in gold to redeem them.
At the close of his remarks, inviting
anyone desiring to do so to ask cues
tions, and thinking ne had unlnten-

more gold certificates were issued than
the actual gold set aside for theis
redemption.

first assertions.

EASY TO DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
TRY THIS! MIX SAGE TEA AND
SULPHUR AND BRUSH IT
THROUGH YOUR HAIR, TAKING
ONE STRAND AT A TIME.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one car tell,
because it's done SO naturally, SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and troubles
some. For SO cents you can buy at
any drug store the re~ady-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also discover
dandruff is gone and hair has stopped
falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign Of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
years younger. .a -AdVt.

The railroads have been putting up
