THE OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL.

In the presence of a large audience last even ing, three brave-not to say bold democrats ap- peared and in their respective address told all about themselves and the other fellows - the other fellows in particular. All in all, it may be said the meeting was most interesting. In that it resulted in change of front by most of the voters present. In other words the meeting re- suited in a bleach complexion for all of us. h. stead of republicans, socialists or progresslves at the beginning of the meeting, we were all democrats at the end, because of the arguments of these three brave and bold democrats. That is the reason we say the operation was most sue cessful.
 But as successful as the operation was on the voters, the operation on the Delegate was not only successful in removing his possible election, but it was also cleansing and clarified whole lot of his record and declarations, his chief claim to support for reelection
 The chairman of the meeting, MT. E. C.. Aus tin briefly stated his reason for changing his support from Wickersham to Sulzer Held in his hands and read letters the contents of which was enough to make any one change his mind as to the unftness of the Delegate to represent AL aska anywhere Mr. Austin proved treachery. Proved beyond reasonable doubt that Wicker sham played false with us. Not only that, but Mir Austin showed that he still had some re- spect for the Delegate, and held back whole lot more than what he said and proved. It was evi- dent to the audience that 1Ir. Austin disliked to admit deception.
 Mr. Austin was followed by Mr. J. M. Tanner, candidate for Senator in opposition to MT. J. R. Hickman. From what Mr. Tanner said, he is incapable of doing anything wrong. The wrong doings in the legislature was all the other fel- lows The audience must have concluded that he was another great T Am" Tanner wants everybody to impute i'll motive for anything that is done by anybody not agreeable to his ideas. With him, if a legislator is absent when bill comes up before the legislature for passage, that

legislator has absented himself purposely. With him, if a man is connected with corporation, he at once becomes a parasite, grafter or what not. With him, if a man is interested in fishing he becomes a destroyer of the industry. Any thing that Tanner does is right. Anything that the other fellow does is wrong because Tanner is free and the other fellow is tied up. Tanner is the Great Am," just like Wickersham.
 To Mir. Grigsby, everybody takes off his hat His argument in support of his candidacy for Attorney General for the Territory, was most convincing. He proved his fitness beyond a req sonable doubt at the same time demonstrated to superlative degree the baseless claims of his opponents for support According to MT. Grigs- by, neither Cobb nor Schofeld is entitled to any consideration at the hands of the voters and to be candid, we don't know but what everybody who heard him give his reasons, will agree with him.
 Mr. Grigsby took up Wickersham's case, dag- nosed it carefully, compared the symptoms and pronounced it incurable By the time he got through with his analysis, every Wickershamite in the audience had taken notice, and was ready to admit how foolish he had been to have allow ed Slippery Jim" to pull anything over him. And inwardly at least, they all promised they would not allow it to occur again. To our mind MT. Gngsby cooked Wickersham's goose to a fraz- zle so far as this part of Alaska is concerned.

THREE CLASSES FOR wICKERsHAM.
(Juneau Empire.) )

Wickersham-the official record it has been written public documents largely the words that he has uttered or written into silent speeehes-there is left only three classes for him: CD Hero worshppers nothing for facts who would believe that any thing was right Wickersham did because he did who against anything that up whenever and wherever Wckersham is for against it and simply be cause he is against it. and who change their posi- tions all questions whenever and wherever Wicker sham changes and do it because he changes CD those who are for him because they against somebody those who vote their grouches their hates, their ven geanee their envy and ) those who hope to profit thru association with him. and these may be divided into two elasses-those who think he is bandwagon chauffeur and who realize that their only chance to land thing is through him.
 While probably the absurd the least reprehensi ble of these classes and optimistic enough to be Heye the most numerous are the hero worshippers.

Wireless Amateurs Message.

1t was a very pretty thing that the
amateur wireless opeators of the
country did on the night before Wash
ington's birthday. At midnight the
hundreds of boys who make up that
army sat waiting for a message from
Davenport, la. When 1t came, every
one within hearing repeated it, and
each boy who received it relayed it
eastward in his turn, until 1t reached
the operators Of the Harvard Wireless
club. They delivered it to delega-
tion of boy scouts, one of whom read
1t aloud from the platform of the
town hall in Lexington. The message
was this: "a democracy requires that
a people who govern and educate
themselves should be so armed and

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
OId-time Recipe that Any
body Can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 90 cent bottle OF
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair 80 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair taking one
strand at time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, 1t becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.-Adv.

Ell Paso.-Four hundred American
cavalrymen, under the command OF
Colonel George A. Dodd, whlrling
down from the granite slopes Of the
great continental divide, have fallen
on the main body of Francisco Villas
bandits at the San Geronimo ranch,
scattering them and driving the ban
dit chief, wounded and crippled, to
seek hiding place in the mountains
over which he has ruled for so many
years. Villa was hurried from danger
in a carriage. The American losses
were but four men wounded.
The news of the brilliant exploit
of the American troopers were flashed
over the Mexican wires into Juarez
and sent a thrill along the border.
For II hours the veteran Colonel
Dodd and his picked riders of the
Seventh and Tenth cavalry drove
down the valley of the Santa Maria
river At the emo Of a 55-mile ride
they burst upon the unsuspecting VII
lista camp where 500 bandits were
celebrating the massacre of 172 Car

with one hip shattered, was hurried
from the scene, barely in time to
escape the onslaught of the Ameri'
