THERE seems TO be little doubt that
secret organization backed by the Ger
mans and Austrians is busily engaged in
destructive work in the United States.
Indeed, DR.. Josef Coricar, g former Aus
trian consul in the United States, has made
disclosures that make definite statements
concerning such conspiracy, and con-
LESSONS OF other persons arrested Tor
completely in several crimes verify the
charges. The conspiratorS have been &C
tive in miny channels. They have been
causing fires and explosions in the great
plants where ammunition and supplies
for the Allies are being manufactured
they have been placing bombs on ships
which carry such cargoes to Europe; and
they are inStigating strikes and interfering
with operations in factories OF every sort
which make goods for the use OF the AL
lies. The depredations have become so
numerous and so destructive as to be
serious menace 10 the manufacturing in
dustries of this country, and strenuous
efforts are being made 10 check the &C
tivities OF the conspirators. The United
States government authorities are inves-
tigating the matter. and it is said that no
less than five hundred secret service men
are on the job. The probability is that
German and Austrian officials in this
country are at the head OF the plots, and
If is likely that a number OF them will
be sent out OF the United States. The
present condition seems to be one that

The Supreme Court OF Kansas last week
rendered a decision unfolding the consti-
tutlonality OF the Webb Kenyon act, re-
moving the interstate protection from Ii
uuor shipped into State 10 be used in
violation OF State law. Judge West, who
wrote the opinion, declared that there is
nothing more sacred about whiSkey in
tended for unlawful use than there is
about diseased meat and lottery tickets,
and Congress has the same power TO pro-
hibit interstate traffic in one as in the
ether"
II sound sense is TO prevail. this decision

THOSE who have been paying their
taxes this tall are not pleased to find the
increase in the tax bills as result OF the
disgraceful juggling in the Legislature last
winter. In 1912 The State tax was but
one cent; in 1913 if was six cents, in 1914
ten cents. and this year il is TO fourteen
centS-a steady increase in burden that
is as oppressive as il is unnecessary.
The Republican party was pledged TO the
policy OF aboliShing entirely the State
levy, but instead of keeping this promise
il is continuously increasing the tax rate.
We should not complain il this were a
matter OF necessity, for every man should
cheeriully bear his share OF the public
burden. But the addition 10 the tax bill
is the direct result OF political schemes Of
the party in power, tile two factions OF
which, in seeking advantage one over the
other, have made deals with the corpora
tons by which these powerful influences
are permitted TO escape their fair share
OF the public expense and an unfair share
is added TO the ordinary citizen. The
increase in this direct tax is shameful
imposition upon the people.

The great mass Of valuable inforIna-

|EASY TO DARkEN
! YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try this! Mix Sage Tea and
Sulphur and brush it through
your hair, taking one
strand at a time.

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 troublesome. For 50
cents you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use tonic called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at a time.
BY morning all gray hair disap-
pears, and, after another applica-
ton 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 at
tractive appearance, get busy at

The appeal of the International Har-
yester Company from the decision oi
the federal district court in Minnesota
holding it a combination in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law and or
dering its dissolution into at least
three competing parts was up for ar
gument today before the Supreme Court

for extra time for the arguments.
Claim Change Of Policy.
Harvester company lawyers filed a
printed reply to the government brief de-
claring that the government has asked
that the Standard Oil decision be set
aside, and that the court hold that a
combination having preponderant
proportion of business secured by pur-
chase Of competing concerns be declared
unlawful. 1t was urged that was new
doctrine which the government would sub
stitute for the rule of reason"
I'VE may concede that large aggrega-
