PAGE EXTOL CLAY

One OF the most notable of the cere
monies held yesterday in commemoratior
Of the birth of Washington was thai
| under the auspices of the interna tiona
peace arbitration committee Of the Ma.
| tionaI Society Daughters Of the Amer:.
| can Revolution, held last night in Memo
| rial Continental Hall.
The speaker of the evening was Thomas
Nelson Page, who talked on Henry
Clay and the Ghent Treaty" Mr.. Page
| confessed to the greatest esteem fol
| Henry Clay and alluded to him as one
| Of the greatest figures among Americans
'Superlatives are dangerous and
usually avoid them" said Mr.. Page
but / state it as my belief that Henry
| Clay had no superior between the time
of Washington and the present, and ]
am considering all the great men who
have passed across the nations stage
in that time
Mr.. Page traced Clay's rise into promi-
| nence and showed the great place hA
, held in the confidence of the leadeS5
and the people. He said that this man
was of such greatness that he does not
suffer by failing to achieve the Presi-
dency.
To Clay more than any other man. Mr..
Page thinks. was due the delay of the
great conflict between the States for a
manship which he performed was the
making possible of the formation of the
republics Of South and Central America,
though he has gotten no credit for the
achievement. He is more deserving of a
place of honor in the building of the
Pan-American Union, said Mr.. Page,
than all the other men who have been
so honored, yet until the present time
no portrait or bust to him has appeared
Nv fhot in, ha
near future the omission is to be
remedied.
In introducing Mr.. Page, Mrs Mat
thew T. Scott, president general )of the
society, said in part:
Fairly overwhelming are the thoughts
and emotions. surging up tonight. as we
gather in this hall. consecrated to the
patriotism of American women. It is
as If two mighty tides were met in a
narrow strait: the memories of the wars
of the Revolution and Of 1872, the mean
ing of the hundred years Of peace await
ing their glorious commemoration next
year. War and peace. We have put
as wide a gap between them-we of
America-and Of the mother country-as
modern history records. Elsewhere, in
this hundred years just passed. war and
peace have still alternated, like storm
and sunshine, like Joy and rain, life
and death.
1T Is significant fact, that of the
many remarkable inventions through
out the world. as summarized by the
eminent scientist and savant, Alfred
Russell Wallace. more than two-thirds
of these creations for saving labor, and
otherwise benehtihg mankind. have been
invented by Americans. Let us believe
that this has been due first of all to
the splendid American motherhood that
brought forth such a sturdy race OF
thinkers and workers."

stomach disorders are so common in

WHO IS HEAD
OF The HOUSE?
Rev. J. H Northrup Will Tell
the Answer Sunday.

Probably the most interesting ser
mon In the series on the Home which
are being given by Rev. James H,
Northrup at the First Presbyterian
church, will be 1.-THE Head OF the
Housewife Is?" Sunday evening
There Is an interesting theory that
the head OF the house was originally
the mother and that descent was
traced only through the mother. But
the burning question today is wheth-
err the activity OF women in things
formerly left for the men is not con-
trary to Christian teaching. Paul
writes that no man Is head of the
woman and that she is his glory. But
he also adds that husbands should
love their wives as themselves.
Should a worthless husband be
honored as head of the house? What
are the interests OF the home? This
should be the deciding test.
Head of the house e "a some
thing more than being able to boss
your wife, and being the governor"
OF the boys. There Is a difference
between a nominal and an acting
head of the house.
In some houses the woman should
sit at the head of the table and carve
the steak. But stupid is the wife
that gets a headship in the house
due to an extravaganza that forces
her husband to give all his time and
energy TO getting money to run the
house. She doubles her burdens and
wins a hollow victory.
The problem is solved by building
up the neglected field; not by neg
lecting settling the DISPUTED bound
airy. But the man should be the
head Of the house.

Mr.. Wight also deyiated from his
prosecution OF the case by reviewing
the legal profession in the city for
the past twenty years. When he first
came here, he stated the few lawyers
that were here were engaged in such
little litigation that they really tried
to bring about litigation. He extol-
ed the spirit of the young lawyers
who have recently come to the city
and appreciated the esteem and de-
ference in which the older members
were held and In the manner they
are considered.
Peter A. Peterson, so absorbed in
excise matters, threw aside all argu-
ment relative to the case in hand
and gave a vivid, comprehensive and
thorough analysis and exposition of
his opinion on the constitutionality
OF the present state excise laws. It
Is said the tribunal was so stirred
and sc enthused concerning the per-
version of the law In this respect
that all eyes were focused on the
speaker. and that the accused being
tried could have easily escaped If he
uCo't w. liibuLdiy at TIC tOh-
clusion OF the speech, rose as one
mar to say that they approved and
would fight for such changes in the
state excise laws as set forth in their
fellow lawyers discussion.
Attorney Thomas Brown, who, 1t
is said, is not an enthusiastic excise
reformer, was the only one to bring
the tribunal back to Its solemn duty
of trying the Judge. A few remarks
were made by Leo Goldberger,
Charles x. Seaman and other able
lawyers of the bar, who presented
their arguments between the courses
of the menu and the reflling OF the
glasses. In their speeches the judge
was condemned as the Grand Old
Man of the Perth Amboy Bar "Our
esteemed and beloved judge" and
others expressed the wish that they
would get the same fair treatment Ia
after life as received at the hands OF
the sovereign OF the Perth Amboy
district court.

ness for himself and with his we'll
known wit. acumen, humor and elo-
quence put up an admirable defense.

While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally; so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one small strand at a time.
Do this tonight and by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared, after an
other application or two it will be re-
stored to its natural color and be even
more glossy, soft and luxuriant than
ever.
Local druggists say they are selling
lots of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur"
