JOHN JUST COULDN'T MARRY

Governor-elect Stuart of Virginia,

Dominion, and he knows thousands oil
voters well enough to call them by
their first names, says the Washing.
ton Post. The governor was down IN
one of the southern counties not long
ago. He has a lot Of friends in that
section, and one Of his particular hob
bies is the promotion of the social wei
fare of the negroes. A prosperous
looking darkey ventured to shake
hands with the governor.elect, where
upon Governor Stuart remarked:
John, I hope you are we'll and that
the members of your family are all
we'll"
".Everybody's WE'LL" returned the
darkey, "only All hasn't got no fam
bly,"
"Why, aren't you married." inquired
Governor-elect Stuart.
mo, All isn't married." replied John
well, you ought to get married,
advised the governor. Every mar
ought to be married. 1t is best FOL
ones moral and spiritual welfare AM
his material happiness"
Its this away" said John. "Aht

Suino the Sugar Trust.

Suits with aggregate damage claims
of more than $500, 000,0 900 have been
started within the last few weeks
against the sugar trust.
The Journal does not wish even
sugar barons to be mulcted unjustly
but if these claims are we'll founded.
neither the Journal nor the American
people will grieve. The sugar trust has
put itself beyond the pale of sympa-
thy, and almost beyond that OF tolera-
ton. There is no form Of meanness
to which this huge corporation has not
stopped.
1t has turned from appointing United
| States senators and writing tar11I
schedules to bribing government
clerks. 1t has cheated the federal
treasury with short weights. like a dis
honest junk buyer.
The trust was forced to pay back
several million dollars Of its loot. and
only the misplaced clemency OF former
President Taft saved some OF its OH
Gals a term in Jail. Even so. the &C
count with the nation is by no means
squared. No one wants an unfair rul
ing or an unjust verdict, but If thu
claimants now attacking the trus
prove their case, the whole coun
try will chuckle with satisfaction

whats her trouble?" asked the sec
rotary.
dts too bad that a girl who Is so
pretty-one who might be living in lux
ury-is compelled to get out looking
for work because she refused to listen
to her parents. You heard her say she
was married, didn't you?"
YES, but l didn't hear her mention
her parents"
evidently you have not developed
much ability in the way OF making de-
auctions. Why would a girl with such
eyes, such hair, such a complexion,
such teeth, such a beautiful face and

looking for work if she hadn't married

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN Her GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound.
ed, brings back the natural color ana
lustre to the hair when faded, eak
or gray; also ends dandruff, itchlng
scalp and stops falling hair. ear
z the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which IS
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
BY asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge OF
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
~plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy. Adv

country's "Kard Times"

It has been repeatedly shown that
the Wilson tariff bill, passed in 1879,
had nothing to do with the, collapse
in the preceding year.
There was a s%emi-panic in 1903.
when that great and good Republican,
Theodore Roosevelt, was president,
and a full blown disastrous crash IN
1907, when he was still in the white
house. The country has not yet fully
recovered from the effects Of this
third great collapse. Thus we see that
since the civil val two of the three
financial panics have occurred in Re
publican administrations and one dur
ing a Democratic regime.
There is something malignant IL
this constant Republican effort to con
meet Democratic rule and hard times

TO PREVENT PAN|Cs
New Currency Measure Has q
Definite Aim.
Under Its Operation, It Is Believed

yeloping into panics like that OF l9V',
and so will insure the country against
such acute crises. with their attenu.

incidentally, the law will prevent
the concentration Of the country
reserve, funds in New York, and So
ia intended to favor commercial busl-
ness as against the speculative ousl'
ness Of the New York stock exchange
where a large share of these fundS
have been used.
The new law, having provided othel
and more effective safeguards against
panics. lower the amount of reserves
now kept in bank vaults. II all ma
tional banks come into the new sys

free has been estimated by an emf
