Republicans Getting Busy.

There are strong indications that the
republican party is coming to life again and
that the lines are being laid by the leaders
to inaugurate vigorous campaign. There
is no use to disguise the fact that with the
progressives showing disposition to return
to the fold, that the campaign between the
two great parties will be closely contested.
Looking the facts square in the face,
it is hard to tell whether the democrats have
gained strength or not. To win in the
next fight, against reunited opposition, it
will be necessary for the democrats to enlist
recruits. The financial disorders have
caused great unrest and political dissatis-
faction, which have reached all classes of
people, who have laid at the door of the
present administration responsibility for
their troubles. If Mr.. Wilson can carry to
a successful conclusion the policies that have
kept the nation free from foreign war en-
tanglements, he will gain some strength,
but it is doubtful if there are many voters
who appreciate the mastery handling of the
situation, and for that reason the additions
will not be as great as could be reasonably
be expected. 1t would be disaster to the
country to have another change in admins
tration, to be followed by turmoil and re-
organization, and the bad effects will follow
whether the change be beneficial in the long
run or not.
The local political conditions that are
now hanging over this state and the wrangle
that must follow the policies now being put
in motion, leads US to hope and trust that
these conditions will not be further drawn
out by change in national affairs.

Convention Difficulties

The Monroe News-Star in commenting
on the action of Governor Hall in submitting
to the legislature the proposition of a con-
s.itutional convention approves the Cover
nors course, but at the same time suggests
difficulties that may arise in connection
Herewith.
1t suggests first that all factionalisnl
Should be relegated to the back grounds.
This suggestion is the same one that has
been so often harped upon by the movers
behind this measure. Upon final analysis it
simply means that the other fellow must
fold his tents and quietly acquiesce in the
plans of the scherners.
The News-Star further recommends
that only our best and most capable men be
selected for the convention men bound TO
no faction nor affiliated with any special
interests. Coupled with this idea it ex-
presses the opinion that the date at which
the convention is to meet is of serious i'm
portance. If the date is to harmonic with
foregoing premises, it is probable that the
convention will assemble immediately after
the millennium.
The News-Star points out the fact that
If the convention is called prior to the nomi-
mating primary to be held next January. it
will inevitably become involved in the cam
palgn for office. Certainly, and every can
didate, from constable up, will mix the
scramble for Office with the issues connected
with the convention.
Ii the convention is convened after the
primary in January, then changes in office,
as to apportionment, tenure and salaries.
may make necessary another election. These
complication make certain that no con-
vention can be held on the broad lines
so glibly set forth by the men behind the
scheme
While the, News-Star announces it's ap-
proval of the call, it points out succinctlv
difficulties enough to warrant US in the be-
lief that, at heart, it entertains serious
doubt as to the wisdom of the whole pro-
gram.
The News-Star, in its support of the
constitutional convention program, can
its position by using it's influence
% force the men behind the movement to
come into the open and let the people know
when and for what purpose this convention
S to be called.
1t is not unreasonable to call on the
'ntire country press to exert its influence in
his direction.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan finds time

MIR. William Jennings Bryan finds time,
IN the midst of other pressing matters, to
announce that it is doubtful whether the
platform of either of the national parties
will contain aprohibition plank. He thinks,
however, that it would be good idea to
elect only prohibition candidates to the
national convention. If his plan is carried
out, there will be presented good picture
LOT the democratic platform the pro-
Ihibition clause left out.

The fact that Georgia sold some bonds
at par is being referred to, and comparison
made in connection with the recent Louisi-
ana bond sale. The matter has been pretty
well threshed out, and the general opinion
now prevails that Governor Hall played in
remarkable luck in getting the Louisiana
bonds off hand. Georgia probably had
some bankers who desired to maintain the
credit OF the state rather tpan depress it.

DARKEN CRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Natu-
rally that Nobody Can Tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustrc
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruli. itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was TO
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays. bv asking at
any drug store for "Myeth's Sage ami
Sulphur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe for
about 30 cents.
Don't stay grayi Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkencd yom
hair as il does it. so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears. and after another application or
two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy.
