FIRST LESSON IN PRACTICAL POLITICS

The Pittsburgh Milloinaires fell
into our Scheme with open arms.
They had played Politics through
every old Party until they had
been badly smoked out and here
We brought them a new idea. They
saw that a True Temperance sem
timent was growing rapidly in the
country and by organizing what We
called the Anti-Saloon League they
could sneak into state and cap
ture the Legislature by fooling the
People with the story that we
were working for True Temper
ance. The Millonaires could con-
troll the Legislature, you see, and
we Jobless Preachers could get on
to the Payroll that we were after.
You see there are as states where
they want control OF the Legisla-
ture, so we Jobless Preachers could
all be kept at work the year around
at agitating, and at really better
pay than We had got in the pulpit.
We decided TO take in the w. c.
T. u. and the poor old helpless Pro-
hibition Party. and steal their slo-
gans of Prohibition" and TEN
perance." We could go into every
city and town in any state, you
see. by this arrangement. and get

to state under oath who has retained
them or what clients are interested

A newspaper is forbidden by law,
both state and national, to publish
arguments for hire without plainly
labelling such matter as advertising.
II is a splendid law. II is protection
to the public and no honest newspaper
objects to that law.
There should be a similar law for
lawyers. The participation by paid
lawyers in political discussion is an
evil the public should not have to en-
dure without knowing it. Let them
hang out their signs.

Now, children, IL YOU will please
ask no embarrassing questions, III
tell you all about why this prohi-
bition agitation was first started
by the Anti-Saloon League.
First of all want you to know
that We ''prohis" who have come
from the East TO oregon with this
agitation are mostly Jobless
Preachers who have failed to make
good-or make Money-in the pull
pit. There are more and more OF
us. each year who are losing our
Jobs in the pulpit. and. you see
children. we still want the Money.
We're a pretty big army now.
So we Jobless Preachers began
getting together and finally band
ed ourselves into a little secret or
ganization to tap a few Millionaires
who were looking for more State
Legislatures in order that they
might get better grip on the
People.
We decided that Pittsburgh had
about the most Millionaires to the
square mile of any city in the ma
ton, so we unanimously elected
the Pittsburg Millionaires to our
membership as Brother Philan-
thropists. OF course, we agreed
that we would gradually extend and
maybe later take in Wall Street.

to our Banquet. You see. that
those Pittsburgh Milllonaires have
never tried to vote their own town
dry" and some OF them got pret-
~ drunk that night before IL was
all over. They gave us Jobless
Preachers all the champagne We
could drink, too.
Then the MillIonaires' Political
Department got busy. They got
out the Map and began figuring
out the states where they needed "a
better Grip on the Legislatures

though. All We are expected 10
know Is how TO Agitate.
Now, children. you may go home
our next lesson will be a really
bigger Joke than the one today.

your good father that will be
over to dinner tonight and prob
ably will stay all night. And ask
him TO arrange to have me preach

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
YOU CAN BRING BACK COLOR
AND LUSTRE WITH SAGE
AND SULPHUR.

When you darken your hair with
sage Tea and sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though. at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. For so cents YOU can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just damped
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, aft
er 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.

IT'S PRICE
CFrom the Journal.)

(From the Journal)
Was there ever such joy before?
Is there anything in the Oregonian
office that ex-senator Bourne cannot
have? Walk right in, Jonathan, and
help yourself to anything in sight.
and if there is anything that you don't
see, ask for it. Never was everything
SO lovely, and never did the goose
hang so high.
Sweet and lovingly. even as moth
er contemplates her precious son does
the Oregonian feast its eyes and
shower its kisses upon Jonathan.
1t smiles. 1t exuberates. 1t fe-
licitates 1t is supremely gay. 1t

Jonathan, and it weeps upon his bos-

Yet it is so sudden. 1t Is such a
clustering change, because Jonathan
is still the same old Jonathan. He is
the same old boy the Oregonian said
was in a corrupt Bourne-Chamber-

accused of most OF the political
crimes on the calendar
