STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON. April 2S-Chief
Justice White and Associate Justice
Holmes of the United States SUI
preme court. might have been seen
one afternoon recently walking
slowly along Pennsylvania avenue,
gravely and earnestly discussing
some learned topic Every little
while the talk seemed TO reach a
sort OF crisis. whereupon the two
great jurists would stop and face
one another and continue the con-
versation while standing still. From
which one may leap TO the conclu-
sion that il is somewhat of an eff
fort for a great legal mind 10 apply
itself TO walking and talking all at
once.
Before he broke into the big
league politically, Sen. Ashurst OF
Arizona was a deputy sheriff. He
was a yigilant deputy and rarely let
q lay pass without flushing a des-
perado and dragging him TO Jail.
Before locking up a prisoner, how
ever. IL was necessary for a deputy
sheriff 10 visit the retail establish
ment OF certain prominent drink
merchant. Because the key 10 the
lookup was kept thereon a nail
behind the bar. You see, there was
only one key. but there were sew
eral deputy sheriffs and great
RAINY people 10 be placed in Jail.
So the only thing 20 do was 10 have
the key in a central location sure
10 be open ar any hour OF the day
or night. The liquor merchant. be-
irg a public-spirited high-minded
citizen. Hospitality contributed a nail
in his establishment and the key
hung there of and on for a long
time. That nail and its location
came near being the undoing Of
Ashurst A photographer snapped
picture Of him one dag as he was
standing back OF the bar en- route
u the nail This picture fell into
unfrlendly hands and from then on
Il was published and republished all
over Arizona. Many got the enron
eous impression that Ashurst spent
most OF his time shopping about the
stores OF them that sold drinks. II

WHY HUGHES Is NEEDED IN
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's combina-
ton Of grace In elocution with
futility in action; against his
record Of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and un-
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every Office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile
elocution is used to conceal his
plans or his want Of plans. The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting, or the man whose
whole career In public Office is
a guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer is
possible; and 1t must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-From speech
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, de-
Iivered at Lewiston, Maine. in
behalf of Charles Z. Hughes.

Telling Tariff Points

t Let theSe telling points on tariff
and protection in the speech by
Charles Evans Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for President, delivered
In the Salt Lake Tabernacle, be fixed
permanently in your mind and
memory during the remainder Of the
campaign:
We are DESTROYS of having strong
and sure the foundations Of our ma
tiOnal greatness In this pursuit Of
competition among the nations which
is sure to follow the cessation Of
the present struggle.
l presume that the Republican party
as the national party, according to
the constitution of the United States,
within the national sphere, shall pro-
coed wherever 1t is practicable, to
build up and foster and encourage
American enterprise, and open the
doors wide for honest American
achievement.
Then came the Underwood tariff
bill itself. What was the result? En-
Iterprise halted and there was a con-
traction Of trade throughout the land,
and America, instead Of going ahead,
stopped. That is what happened.
Three hundred thousand were unem-
ployed in the City of New York.
There was not city in this land
where the jobless man anxious and
able to work did not walk the street.
They were fed by our charitable Or
CARNATIONS, which were taxed to the
utmost limit to provide for those for
whom American enterprise could no
longer make provision. 1t was sad
spectacle. Americans have not for
gotten it. 1t is not forgotten here
or anywhere. 1t cannot be forgotten.
1t Is too recent.
II you are going to have the basis
for prosperity in this country; If you
are going to protect the American
wage scale; If you are going to have
American enterprise able to meet the
competition which will follow the end
ing of this war, you must have an
honestly devised, wisely framed tariff
law to protect American industry.
No, the Democratic party will not
be saved by the European war. If
you would know what our condition
will be when the war ends, think of
what our condition was before that
war began, If you think these nations
are so impoverished that they cannot
again turn to work. Those millions
Of men now fighting are better able
to work than ever before in their
lives. Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, better
physically than ever before, In the
main, aud they are ready to turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits Of peace to pay their war bills,
to produce up to the limit, to send
their goods throughout the world.
! propose that we shall study this
tout, applying a principle that we be- |
llieve in, and secure intelligently and |
honestly adequate protection to Am |
ierican industries in every part Of this
land.

WE CONGRATULATE YOU.

The Times Recorder tenders its
heartiest congratulations to the grad
uating class of the Americas High
school, and in doing 50 would admon-
ish each and every one to observe
closely the golden rule; do right at all
times, letting virtue, honor and integ-
rity, be your guiding star injecting the
varied obligations and duties of life
fearlessly and in a manner as that
when you have finished your course
here on earth it can be said that the
world is better for your having lived
in it. In the dealings with your fell
lows let honesty and square dealing
be your motto, always respecting the
rights of others and yielding when
virtue and duty demands. But above
ell things keep yourselves pure and
clean. In this way only can you hope
to be good citizens and exercise an in
fuence upon society that will be
worth while. Conduct yourselves in
such a way as that you will reflect
credit upon the school from which
you go. Honoring at all times those
who have helped to make you what
you are, giving credit where credit is
due. Ladies and gentlemen of the
High school graduating class we greet
you with best wishes, hoping for you
all the good things of life that are de-
served, and finally
May peace be theirs until the end,
And may their joys be many;
May each neighbor prove friend,
And of foes, not any.
Angels of Heaven guard them we'll,
That death may ready find them;
And Heavens light upon them shine.

THE GARBAGE CAN.

In this day Of depressed finances
and the general cry of hard times ii
is we'll to consider the causes. That
there are more than one we all agree
Some of these causes are not of our
making and can't be helped, but there
are those for which we are responsible
and could be remedied in a great
measure. One of these, and not a
small one, is waste, and particularly
so as relates to the fat garbage can
Il is openly charged by students OF
domestic economy and domestic sci
ence, that the average American
housewife wastes practically as much
as she consumes. This may be a
somewhat exaggerated statement, but
in the main is true, as can be clearly
shown by an examination of the garb-
age cans of the city.
1t is hight time our people were
waking up to the conditions of affairs
and taking some steps looking to con-
soryation as well as preparation. 1t
is well that our schools teach domes-
tic science, instruct the pupils how to
prepare foods palotable and whole
some but it is just as essential that
they should be taught how to save and
economic, as we'll as to utilize the
left overs in other dishes in order to
conserve and reduce the cost of liv-
ing.
Let the housewife who reads this
look into her garbage can and see if
what we say is not true. And if it is,
then take steps to remedy the condi-
tiCn. She will not only prove bless
ing to her own family but she will
be setting an example that is bound
tc be initiated by others.

with uric acid which the kidneys strive

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

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
compound you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur Compound now 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 a 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
a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
Intended for the cure, mitigation or

STATE C0NSTABULARY.

A state constabulary is proposed fol-
Georgia, and bill to this effect will
be introduced by Hon. ogden Persons
or Monroe county, at the approaching
session of the legislature. The law
will be designed for the purpose of
the general enforcement of all laws,
but is aimed primarily at the new
prohibition law.
The bill if it becomes a law and as
is now outlined will put the entire
scope of the prohibition law under
the jurisdiction of the attorney gen
eral, thus removing it from the in
fuence of local politics. The opera
ton of the law will take its initiative
entirely from the attorney generals
office.
The bill will establish an entirely
new division of the states department
of justice, and will be specially
charged with the enforcement of the
states prohibition laws. The officers
will be appointitive and by the gov
ernor.
Under the operation of the contem-
plated BILL the states officers will be
directed to any county within the
state where it is found that the local
authorities are not rigidly enforcing
the laws. 1t will be their duty, where
violations are found, to gather evil
dence, affect arrests and bring the
cases in those counties where the al
legged violations may have occurred
Beyond that, the handling of the
cases will be entirely within the court
of that county just as with any other
violations.
1t is probable, too, that further
scope will be given the authority of
the attorney general in the matter of
handling cases in the courts of the
counties than he has under the law as
it now stands.
Anything that will insure the en-
forcement of our now splendid prohi-
bition laws, will be welcomed by the
citizens of the state, for already they
are beginning to see the wonderful
good that is to come of and through
it, and any effort on the Fart of our
law makers to insure or to procure its
best operation will meet with hearty
response at the hands of the people
The Times-Recorder believes in law
and order and law enforcement at any
and all times, and to our way Of
thinking the proposed law to establish
a state constabulary is step in the
right direction.
