HE is TOO GREAT.

President Wilson will not forsake
the custom of his high Office and enter
into a speaking tour along campaign
lines. Ever since Washington it has
been the custom to refrain from such.
1t may be all right for a nominee for
the presidency to descend to ward
politics., but it is certainly not legit-
innate for a president in the race for
reelection to do such.
The Columbus Ledger has the fol-
lowing editorial on the course of Will
son:
All attempts by the Democratic
campaign managers to induce Presi-
dent Wilson to make a partisan
stamping tour of the country have
been unavailing.
The Presidents decision to speak
during the campaign only at his sum-
mer home, or in response to invita-
lions from non-partisan organizations
is unalterable
President Wilson has too keen an
of the dignity of the
presidency to dash about the country
campaigning for votes while he holds
the office.
This has been the attitude of most of
our presidents, and those who have
adopted a different course have lost
more than they have gained in pop
llar esteem

BRITISH TANKS BRING BACK
TO MIND THE INSTRUMENTS OF
WAR OF THE OLDgN TUNES, TOO
CONTINUED from Page Three.)

effect than any other engine of war
was the introduction of gunpowder on
the battlefield. 1t was one of the most
potent-factors contributing to the
overthrow of the great feudal system,
for it destroyed the superiority OF the
armorea knight over the yeoman foot
soldier, and as Carlyle has rightly said,
1t made all men the same deligt.' Fol-
lowing the use of gunpowder in small
arms came the invention and develop
ment of the cannon, weapon which
was employed with destructive effect
against the walls of Constantinople
when this historic city finally fell in
to the hands of the Mohammedans in
1853.
THE aeroplane, the Zeppelin, and
the submarines have been developed
gradually in time of peace prepara-
tory for war, and are the products of
many minds. Not as the iron clad
Merrimac and the turreted Monitor
which appeared suddenly and almost
simultaneously on the horizon of
naval warriors during the American
Civil War.
The poisonous gases employed in
trench. warfare during the present
European conflict may be viewed as a.
deadly development of the ludicrous
stink-pot weapons used by the Chin
csc for ages"

FOR THE FUTURE.

Hid away in an inconspicuous place
of the daily news dispatches is a story
filled with all the glory of the war and
the honor of the future 1t is:
PARIS, Sept 3O.-Pilgrims to
French battle fronts and battleships
after the war will probably be able to
inspect trenches and field works as
they actually were during hostilities.
1t has been proposed to select on the
field of remarkable exploits sections
of trenches and field work best charac-
teristic of the trench warfare, and
maintain them in their present con-
dition, through an arrangement be-
tween the owners of the land and the
government.
Wars and their memories are the
same the world over. Americans go
to Plymouth Rock and speculate with
pride There is the historic field OF
Gettysburg. Manassas brings back its
carnage of old. More recent is San
Juan hill-and there is Manila Bay in
the far east.
France intends to save the physical
memories of the war along the thous-
ands Of wounded, blind and otherwise
MANNED It's story for the future
and posterity will read of the grandeur
ri their forbears.

WHERE is HUGHES.

The German-Americans are after
Hughes. They already know where
Woodrow Wilson stands. He is an I'M
diluted and patriotic American. But
now the Amerika, a hyphenated journ-
al of st. Louis. has this to say:
1T was expected on his first trip
that Mr.. Hughes would express him
self clearly as to his stand concerning
the International trade laws imperill-
ed by the English-the robbing of the
mails, the British disregard of the
presidential dignity, &C. However,
nothing definite has come from his
sphinx-like laughing lips. There must
be a reason. Is he afraid Of the man
behind-Roosevelt? Owing to these
facts it would be very desirable if Mr.
Hughes would declare himself. If he
fails to do so he gives proof that he
lacks the moral courage to honor the
truth. One cannot expect of the Ger
man-American that he should give
such a man his vote Withhold your
vote, in as far as the election of
president is concerned, probably will
be the watchword"

HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Faded
Hair With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe, improv-
ed by the addition of other ingredi-
ents, all ready to use, for about so
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural coll
or and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggists
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because il
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is &
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is no
intended for the cure, mitigation Of
prevention of disease.
