GUN. PLAY IN HOUSE
OVER LIQUOR BILL.

Gunplay marked proceedings OF
the Kentucky House of Repre-
sentatives Monday afternoon, and
but for the Intervention of some OF
the cooler heads there probably
would have been bloOdShed.
The trouble started over an
attempt TO call out, over the pro
test OF the House Rules Com
mlttee, the bin of Senator b. NJ
Taylor, of Green county, limiting
shipments of liquor into dry ter
ritory The situation reached lis
climax when B. 5. Williams, eN
ecutiye Marshal, attempted 10
force the Rev. W. B. Harvey,
Representative of Webster coun-
~, into his seat. When the lat
ter resisted Williams drew from
his inside pocket OF his coat a
holster containing a long revol-
yer, but before he could extra Q
the weapon he was taken IN
charge by persons IN the iUme
diate vicinity and persuaded 10
leave the chamber.
The fight was lost after many
clashes and a desperate effort on
the part of Harvey and Represen

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARREN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make II
at home, which ls mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
sulphurs Compound" You will get
large bottle OF this old time recipe
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients for about so cents. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as II does
1t so naturally and evenly. You damp
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and ar
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark. thick,
and glossy and you look years young
err. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.
II is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
tion or prevention Of dlsease.-Ad-

.FLAGRANT VIOLATION
OF LAWS OF COUNTRY
Is That Of Senator ChiIton's
Resort to the Government
FTanking Privilege.
An Chnrles Brooks smith. J

WASHINGTON. oct. 27-The ban
has geen lifted on the frank
ing privilege" for Democratic
members of Congress. but still holds
good against Republican members.
AS matter of fact, the ban is pressed
down, screwed and riveted and like
wise hammered down on Republicans.
But virtually all rules and regula-
tons to protect against abuses OF the
ranking privileges have been sus-
pended during this campaign by the
Wilson administration so far as Dem
ocrats are concerned.
One of the men who has been
quickest to take advantage of this
special dispensation from the post
master general, issued by direction
of President Wilson. is Senator w.
+. Chiffon, of West Virginia. He
has gone to il" with force of
typists and rubber stamp affixcrs
with enthusiasm He is flooding the
mails with personal appeals for votes
multigraphed on stationery printed
by the government, and is sending
out his s. o. S. signals TO the voters
relieved OF the expense of spending
thousands Of dollars for stamps.
The series Of three rubber-stamp-
ed letters from the various Chiffon
offices runs the list from lawyers 10
the solid citizen on the corner Who
runs the towns grocery emporium.
The letters tell, as ony the uu-..C
Senator Chiffon can tell It, how he
has stood by the president" and
saved the country from war, famine,
pestileucc and the other fifty-four of
the fifty-seven varieties Of calamity
which it is claimed for voting pur-
poses that Uncle Sam has been res
cued from. The letters are plainly
violations Of the franking privilege,
not to mention that their text is
transparently special, the fact al
legged not always correct, and their
general tenor reflective OF the pecu-
liar brand OF Chiltonese demagogy so
well and unfavorably known to the
West Virginia public.
That the the latter may Judge for
themselves, following is a copy OF a
circular letter being sent to the law
yers OF the state, the letter am in

expected to be strict in enforcing:
William e. Chiffon. w. Va,
Chairman, United States Senate,
Committee on Census.
Charleston, w. Va,
October IL, 1916.
My dear Fellow Attorney:
"As you may be Interested to know
about the work done at the last ses-
sion OF Congress wish to call your
attention to some OF the progress
i've legislation which has been enact
ed during the past three and one
half years. which is more than has
been exacted during the previous six
teen years.
During my term in the Senate 1
have voted for the Clayton ANTITRUST
law. which puts the labor OF human
being above an article of commerce
and abolished by government injunc-
ton; for the federal trade commits
sion. which takes the business man
from under the eternal suspicion
which has been bounding him for
years; for national good roads law;
vocational training; rural credits law,
and for the bill which averted the
catastrophe Of national strike
among the railroad men.
This is only what / should have
done because 1t is right. and claim
nothing for It except a faithful dis
charge Of duty. II this and my rec
ord In helping TO maintain the peace
Of our country and to pass legislation
TO bring prosperity to our people to-
gether with my plan for recovering
the fifteen million OF dollars which
the United States owes to this state

appreciate highly your friendship and
any publicity which you may see fit
to give this. would remind YOU
that rs lawyer you will understand
that It is well to have a member of
the Judiciary committee OF the Sem

ginia debt legislation and no mat
ter who may be elected to the Senate
he cannot be elected to the position

judiciary. l can only promise that
in the future as in the past / will try
to do the best for West Virginia and
