You may be interested in woman's
suffrage, which is in many states
beneficial, and you should be. But,
there is a higher purpose still, for
women. Whatever they can put their
hands to, to make men and women
better; is the important issue. We of
Minneapolis are deeply interested in
our public schools, charitable work,
social settlements and civic better
mcnt. The colored people should be
interested especially in themselves.
They should have place where men
could have companionship under
wholesome conditions. Gle referred

radical Democrats came into power
throughout the southern states. The
conditions described so vividly were
lamentable, illustrating the awful ca
lamities suffered by the weaker ele-
ment of the body polite at the hands
of the stronger.
But Major Lynch is not pessimist.
He Is man with great vision. He
has seen the dawn of a new age when
each mans good shall be all mems
aim" We of this age may be little
apathetic about such matters as are
set forth in the book. but it would be
well for us to read over and over again
what this wise observer has written
concerning our past The book pre-
sents facts as the author has witnessed
them. His study Of the political situa-
ton is both analytical and intensive.
He is student of psychology. His is
the advocacy Of civil and political
rights of all citizens.
Major Lynch entered public life
while quite young man. 1t was In
1869 that Governor Ames appointed
him justice of the peace In the city OF
Natchez. Miss. He showed splendid
executive ability and was soon pro-
NOTED by the people to seat in the
state legislature. His has been bril-
liant career. There Is hardly Negro
in the entire country whose past life
has been so closely connected with the
reconstruction period and who is more
highly esteemed in the councils of the
Republican party today as is John r.
Lynch. While he was serving in the
national house Of representatives he
was Il leader Of powerful influence.
He was once honored by the national
Republican convention as temporary
chairman. He has served as auditor
Of the United States treasury and pay
master in the United States army.

 DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Rrinq Back it's Color and Lustre With Grandma's Sage
 Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luXuriant; remove every bit of dan druff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur at home, though. is trouble some. An easier way is to get the ready to-use tonic. costing about 5G cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeths Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 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 na- turally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disap- peared. After another application ol two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.-(Ad tisement)

WOLF & WOLF MAILING
 SUITS BY PARCELS POST
One Price Suit House lnstalls State
 Wide Department

Believing there is an inborn desire upon the part of the people of Arizona generally to patronize home concerns, whenever those concerns are in a pO- sition to meet the competition of the larger mail order houses of Chicago and Eastern cities, Wolf & Wolf, the Adams Street one price clothiers, have added a mail order department to be operated in conjunction with their local custom. Through the medium of the parcels post, this concern now proposes to send suits and trousers to any part of Ari- zona. in fact anywhere where the United States mail service reaches.
 With the end in view of making the mail order department one of the most important of the concern, Wolf X Wolf have prepared a circular letter, that presents almost as effectively as a personal talk, the advantages of deal ing with an Arizona concern, and indi- eating how easily correct fitting gar ments may be secured without the ne- cessity of a personal visit.
 Accompanying the letter, is a meas urement slip by means of which any man with a little care. can take his own measure as effectively as a tailor These letters and slips are being sent broadcast over Arizona. Wolf & Wolf have demonstrated the value of adver Using in the local papers in the sue cess of their business and now they plan an even more extensive advertis- ing campaign in the papers of the state And thus Phoenix is being placed a lit tisement.

 There is not a club in the south west that has made a more deter mined effort to give it's members pro- grams of merit than the Woman's Club and in securing the distinguished lecturer, author and preacher it has added another to it's list of success ful achievements.

He can make every nerve of mind and soul jingle" declared a revolver at one of his recent lectures He is a great man and keeps his hearers un- der a spell from start to finish. Not the least of his success is due to his sense of humor He impresses one as being like Oliver Wendell Holmes, who said be did not dare be as funny as he could. But along with this humorous sense, he is scholarly and thoughtful, and often profound"
