Washington, Oct. 2S.-The mex,

troversy over the blacklist of Amer

officials have had ample time to ex-
anime Great Britain's reply to the
American note of July %. protesting
against it, The reply reached the
State department today from the Lon

night said he had not decided when il

The note refuses the American con.
tention, which termed the blacklist
IAN arbitrary interference with neu,

methods of relief which may be avail.
able in some instances to lessen the
rigors of interference.
An American reply is almost certain
to be made, based on the contention
that the blacklist violates the CONNER.
cial treaty of 1915; that in singing gu,
certain American firms undue dis
elimination is shown and that an
illegal action is taken. designed to pre-.
vent trade with Germany, an end
which should be accomplished
through blockade and contraband re.
strictions. II. may be argued that the
blacklist is designed to cripple firms
trading with Germany in order to de.
sroy German trade more than for the
immediate purpose OF war.

Wesley T. Wilcox
Pays Fine Tribute
To John L. Kennedy

North Platte. Neb., Oct. 2S.-(Spe-
cial "A tribute to John L. Kennedy
of Omaha, republican candidate for
United States senator, is paid by w.
T. Wilcox, prominent attorney Of
this city, in letter appearing in Fri
days issue of The North Platte Tele-
graph. Mr. Wilcox's letter follows:
North Platte, Neb, Oct. H.-Mr.
Editor: | want to say a word for
John L. Kennedy, who without much
doubt will be the next senator from
Nebraska. Few people in this state
have known Mr.. Kennedy longer than
|. | have known him rather intimately
since the fall of 1881. At that time
he was a young man attending law
school; like most of the members of
the class he was without any of this
worlds goods, but he was endowed
with ability, honesty and industry. He
was popular with all the boys, and the
acknowledged leader of the class.
"Mr. Kennedy was not born with
a silver spoon in his mouth. He was
not then and he is not now an aristo-
crat. What he has obtainedIs by rea-
son of those qualities which he knew
he>possessed thirty-five years ago.
His success should be an inspira=
ton to every young man who has to
make his own way in the world.
He is an ideal candidate for the
office of United States senator.

RECORDS DISPROVE
CLAIMS OF WILSON
Democratic Candidate Shown
Not to Have Been Author
of Guaranty Law.
ALBERT PAID FOR WORK

tFrom Staff Correspondsnt) =
Lincoln, Oct. 29.-(Special 1.-The
claim of Victor E, Wilson, democrat
ic candidate for state railway COM
missioner that he was the author Of
the state guaranty law is being ques-
ton even by the members of his own
party and especially by the friends of
Judge |. L. Albert of Columbus, who
is said to be just little peeved be-
cause Wilson is claiming all the glory
for the passage of the law, when the
facts, borns out by the records Of the
1909 sessions do not disclose that the
bill even bore the name of Victor
E. Wilson, but on the other hand was
introduced by the banking committee,
of which Representative Charles
Graft was chairman and bears his
name, with the information intro
duced by Charles Graft and point
, committee on banking"
A further perusal of the House
Journal covering banking legislation,
discloses that a bank guaranty bill
introduced by Mr.. Wilson was indef-
initely postponed.
1t is also we'll known that the
Golfers of the state treasury were
. drawn on for the purpose of paying
|. L! Albert of Columbus, a demo-
crat, $3.50 for drawing up the bill
sand getting it in shape SO it would
stand alone.
Now Mr.. Wilson is claiming, so it
is understood, that Mr.. Albert took
the bill postponed by the house and
reported it to the committee as Mr.
Wilson had drawn it. If the claims
of Mr.. Wilson are correct, Mr.. Al
bert was paid $3.50 for doing nothing
and it is this claim of Mr.. Wilson
which friends of Mr. Albert are OBJ
jecting to.
In the meantime Mr.. Wilson goes
ahead making the claim that he was
the author of the bill, while the/rec-
ords of the session show that his. at
tempts at authorship of bank guar
anty bill were squelched by the in
definite postponement route and a
joint banking committee with the help
of Mr.. Albert introduced the bill
which eventually became law and
is now on the statute books.

AN old RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray hair
dark and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixttire was to make It at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. =
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a
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, bel
cause no jone can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it SO naturally and evenly. You
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears and
after another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy ahdyou look years Young
