The Des Moines News says that
there are 100000 foreigners in
this country who are not citizens
and have no intention Of becoming
citizens and according to the laws of
the nations from whence they came
are still amendable to their home
country. But the United States gov
eminent must see that these foreign
ers while in the United States obey
our laws, regardless of what the
laws of their own country may be.
Every man in the United States is
subject only to the laws of the Unit
ed States and those who do not like
that arrangement ought to get out
Of the country as soon as possible,
and the sooner the better. 1t is about
time for the naturalization laws of
this country to undergo thorough
renovation. We want every man

ously as a candidate next year.

Publicity is the safeguard of this
country today, and the newspapers
do more to ferret out and show up
crime in one month than all of the
officers in the country do in two
years. Look at Mexico and Russia
and other countries where the pow
er of the press is curbed, and then
make up your mind what would be
likely to happen in these great Unit
ed States if law makers in the var
ious states could throttle a free press
and free speech in this country.

And now they are talking of max
ing entrance to the state fair free
the institution being supported by
legislative appropriations If the
management can pull off anything
like that it will be another burden
upon the backs of the taxpayers OF
Iowa. But the taxpayers seem to
like to carry burdens and perhaps
they would be rejoiced at having the
privilege of carrying little bigger
load. The state is very prosperous
and for that reason perhaps nobody
will complain because they are
afraid of being called kickers.

what was wrong, why the cheap flax
was unable to take the aniline. But
Mike was only a laborer, remember.
The lawyer came on Sunday, and
Mike got out of bed to receive him,
apologizing for his Powered dress

him the last Christmas.
The lawyer waved his apologies
aside

over again. Mike listened patiently.

1t was Ellery's lawyer who came

to consent to an agreement whereby

And all his anger against his daugh-

that was buying her those gowns, had
bought the car, was providing for her
every minute.
If he had pressed Ellery he would
have been a rich man, but life would
have been utterly empty for him.
Because he relinquished all, he gain

Henry Jenkins, who was born in

remembered well the battle of Flod-

for his remarkable swimming.

NO CHANCE TO WIN GLORY
Youthful Recruit. Found He Was Not

The irreyerent man had been
aroused by talk of the war to tell an

time. He said:

"Why?"
"Because-because had no ear for

IF HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored TO its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

rheumatic twinges. The urine is

How They Would Seem Now II Movies
Had Come First.
We can well imagine that a genera
ton brought up exclusively on m moving
pictures would hail the sudden intro
duction Of the actual performers as q
great invention. So simple and Logical
q step would seem to them truly mar
velOus. At first the bodily preseI &c Of
the actor might seem to them most
too oppressive, as we now feel 1t to be
when we sit close up on lake-
spearean platform stage, but they
would soon wonder why they had been
30 long content to blink at anil lated
photographs.
The effect upon the actor wou d be
most salutory. He would soon find
that he was making himself laug iably
obvious. The astonishing calistl enics
with which he has been accustom d to
wiring our withers would no longer
serve his purpose. He would have
to abandon the 'Irascible" look the
revenge Is sweet" look. the 'jeal usy"
look, the 'Iovey dovey" look AMI all
the other looks with which he nc W 30
impudently holds the camera In order
to convey to us that he is (, cling
something, ah, so profoundly. He
would have to unlearn all his 10 )king
glass grimaces and try to regal the
natural mobility Of human expre' sion.
The historian Of the drama would
also give US most instructive ch lpter
on the emergence of the actor from
the machine. He would hail It as a
revolutionary step In the develop nent
Of the drama, without which, II his
opinion, the Hamlet that he woI ships
would never have been pos sible.
Knowing nothing Of our pre-ma chine
drama. he would not be tempt, d to
draw the conclusion that with tha rise
and decay Of moving pictures the
drama has gone backward in orc er to
60 forward again.-New Republic.
