authority to- conduct her investiga-
Efions, and an escort to accompany her.
Fifty-two cities in the United States
have already hired her. She calls her
visits sanitary surveys" When a
city desires her services it calls upon
her as a professional municipal expert,
and places the keys of the municipali-
ty at her disposal, She personally in

everything that concerns community
life. She stirs up public opinion, and
in this manner makes her work etfec-

The practical results Of Mrs. Cranes
surveys all over America present Il

spring. Sometimes she has appeared
as &. prophet of warning. In 1910 Mrs.
Crane told Erie, Pa, that it ran the
danger of a terrible epidemic unless it
purified it's water supply; in 1911 Erie
had 103 deaths from typhoid, untold
suffering n a municipal expense OF
$4,000. At Sea Breeze, Fla, a great
hotel al condemned for lack Of fire
escapes and: proper IRE protection;
the hotel burned to the ground two
weeks later n the guests barely es-
capped with their lives, some by jump
ing from the windows. A Rochester,
N. Y, school building, the twin of one
condemned by Mrs. Crane, was also
burned before that active city could
put through various improvements
upon which it had determined after
her visit. At H%arrodsburg, KY, where
an angry official sued Mrs. Crane, but
afterwards found his case quashed, the

built. A tuberculosis sa~nitarlum rose
at Paducah, KY, and at Valley City,
N. D., a beautiful new infirmaryl re-
places the old poorhouse. At Albert
Lea, Mimi, the citizens boast a new
municipal hospital; at Big Rapids,
Mich, a fine new abattior. AT Ro-

one of the public schools altered a

LADIES DARKEN

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-.

time. She used it to keep her halr

with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy n
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous OLD
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair:
A .well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair, sc naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication, Or two, it becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

n TARIFF BILL.

The Forum believes that the demo-
cratic party is to be congratulated on
it's success in framing the tariff bill
which vas passed by the senate this
week, and now goes to conference,
with the assurance Of the leaders Of
both houses that it will be in the
hands of the president inside of two
weeks. There may be mistakes in tho
present tariff bill, but it is ~undoubted-
Iy a mighty improvement on the
Payne-Aldrich bill.
The people of his country put the
the tariff. The bill hat they have
framed and passed has been O. full
fillment of their promises, and, The
Forum believes, comes nearer being
what the people of the country want
THAI any other tariff measure that has
been framed, at least in recent times.
President Wilson, to whose wisdom,
aggressiveness and powerful personal
ity, has been due, in large measure,
the success in getting this bill passed,
mas SnOWn HlIIlSSlL 20 ne IL DiS llldIi'
He has been accused of being a dicta-
tor, by the republican bosses, but he
has done nothing to imperil his
popularity with the people.
Naturally the old time. stand-pat
republicans are anything but pleased
with the success of the democrats.
They are predicting that the country
will go to the dogs, which view is
exactly the view they were expected
to take.
AS a matter of fact the new demo-
cratic tariff bill, is a vastly different
measure from the last democratic
tariff bill. AS Senator LaFollette
pointed out, in explaining his vote on
the measure, it is really a protective
and not a free trade bill, although it
has free trade features.
The W. senators from North Da-
kota both worked against the bill.
Senator McCumber voted against it
n Senator Gronna was paired with a
democrat, being absent and not voting.
The Forum believes that in their stand
against the measure, they are not ex-
pressing the desires Of a majority Of
the people of this state.

THE NEW HAVEN HORROR.

Fate seems to have marked the New
Haven railroad for it's own. A series
of wrecks on that line, extending over
the, past two years, has cost the lives
of sixty-three people and the injury
of 391.
The New Haven is one of the great
trunk lines of the country, and it's of
ticers have been claiming that it is
n of the best equipped roads in the
United States. Yet the disaster of
last Tuesday exposed the fact that,
instead of the steel cars which are
supposed to be a prime factor in good
management, the old-style wooden
ones were in service and were smash
ed to kindling wood in the wreck. TO
be sure, if they had been of steel,
that fact would have played no part
in averting the collision; the matter
is mentioned merely to show that the
claims Of a railroad are not always
to be relied upon. But it is fair to
assume that had the cars been Of up
to-date construction, fewer lives would
have been lost.
At this time it is impossible to
place the blame for the wreck upon
anybody except the engineer of the
train which crashed into the one pre-
ceding it, and this engineer declares
the fog was so thick he could not see
the warning signals until too late to
stop his train. The whole horrible af-
fair appears to be another instance Of
the fallibility Of human intelligence
and to point to the imperative neces-
sity Of some automatic method of
stopping a train when it is still far
from the danger point.
Much of the bad luck that has mark
ed the New Haven railroad for a long
time has been aid at the
door of Charles H. Mellen, it's
president up to a few weeks
ago. 1t is the irony of fate
that the new president, Howard w.
Elliott, formerly head of the Northern
Pacific, should have assumed control
only the day before this last and worst
disaster. occurred. But what an awful
record stands against those who
managed the road UP to the retire
ment of Mellen-twelve shocking
catastrophes in two years, with a
death toll of sixty-three.
The secrecy that surrounds the in
~Vestigation into the cause of last
Tuesdays wreck is not calculated to
inspire the public with confidence. The
coroner has refused to hold his inquest
in public or to give out any Of the
evidence he takes, sven though the
officials of the road have expressed
their willingness to have all the pro-
I eeedings In the open. The 1imsy ex-
cuse that the witnesses might become
ratified in the presence of a crowd
seems very far-fetched and without
substance. However. the government
is going to take a hand, and there
will be no star-chamber doings about
that Investigation.
One thing already known is that the
signal system at the scene Of the
wreck had been condemned by the
state authorities, and me railroad had
