MORE ABOUT THE SHIPPING BOARD.

Some of the troubles Of the federal shipping board
and Gen. Goethals are related by Congressman j,
Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, who is we'll
remembered here from his visit with the congress,
sional party two years ago. In recent statement,
Congressman Moore said:
"The shipping board is one of the presidents pet
creations. Congress hesitated long while before
launching it upon its career for good or ill., There
were members of Congress who did not believe in a
detached shipping board and some of them were
suspicious OF the plan under which the present
waste be organized. There was much criticism of
the shippurchasing agency Of the Spanish Amer
lean war, and some of the older members remember
ed that in those days of war excitement number
Of ships hastily purchased at high prices that
were afterward sold as junk. The present shipping
board started out with salary scheme that did not
strike the appropriations committee favOraby.
AT first blush it looked as though the proceeds
Of the 900 of bonds to be sold for the board
were to be devoted to salaries ranging from $25 600
per annum down and to travelling expenses around
the world. Then the appointment and resignation
Of Bernard NJ. Baker Of Baltimore, who figured in
Standardization war ship purchases, excited COM
ment; and on top of this came the purchase by the
board OF certain Austrian ships terms which have
been a topic of discussion in the committee on mer
chant marine and fisheries But the last and most
serious shipping board development is the Cocktails
Denham outbreak revealing lack Of unity between
the Panama Canal builder and the California pres
dent of the board which has given concern to the
administration we'll as to Congress. General
Goethals talked out of meeting because, as many
here view it, the supreme test had come-the test
between action and commission red tape, the test
between results and profits. And incidentally. per
haps the test between lumber interests and wooden
ships and the steel interests and steel ships People
who criticize Congress for seeking information as to
some Of these commission government projects
might sympathize with it if they knew all it has to
contend with"

THE LATEST BRUTALITY HEARING.

Sheriff Rose again appeared, at meeting of the
civil service commission yesterday, as the special
bleader for one Of his men charged with vicious bru

The impropriety of the sherif's course in this re-
gard has been pointed out repeatedly, and at least
one OF the commissioners has privately stated that
the head Of the department should not be allowed to
conduct the defense Of his men, and make up their
ease for them, but publicly the commission makes
no move TO stop it h..

THE REID sEDITION CASE.

\ case given wide publicity in the Orient came 10
an end Yesterday when charges Of sedton preferred
against DR.. Gilbert Reid, an American eotof VI

by l.. =. Minister Paul Renscb.
E. DIR, Reid is editor of the Picking Post formerly
owned by German capital.
a~ The editorial utterance upon which the charge
4 was based appeared in the Peking Post On April
and said in part:
y The people have had no more to do win Amer
icas entrance into the war than the peoples OF the
cOuntres of Europe in the beiigerent states OF tne

he'd no more symptoms Of autocracy in getting Ger
many into the great war than has President wilson

"The six senators who have stood out against any
form of declaration of war on Germany are PROP
s ably the same six who opposed in early FepruarS
.the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany
"A noble and brave band.
~ "If America had been looking only to the right
and had never thought which side would probably
i win or ought to win for Americas future safety
rthen Congress- while declaring status OF belllger
1ency with Germany, would at the same time have
declared the same status With Great Britain"
Two days after the appearance OF the puohcat1on
DR. Paul S. Reinsch warned as follows:
at is my duty to call your attention to the fact
that as state of war now exists between the United
states and Germany your continued editorship OF
paper supported by German funds would be likely
10 bring you into conflict with American law"
To this communication Doctor Reid replied as fol-
lows:

A curious story is going the rounds in Honolulu
that the American mission to Russia passed through
this port en- route to Russian port few weeks ago
OF course, while these missions on their journeys
they safeguarded by the censorship but that
the Americans are safe in Petrograd and the route
of their land trip has been given out there is OBJ
lection in telling of the rumor that they were in
Honolulu few hours and that Elihu Root STAYED
aboard the vessel which carried them, while another
member, who is well-knOwn to a certain Honolulu
businessman, came up to the city and later called
on this businessman. Senator Roots features are
so wellknown to every newspaper and magazine
reader in Honolulu that he could scarcely fail to be
recognized were he to walk on the streets for any
length of time. 1t has generally been supposed that
the mission sailed from a northern port of the Paci-
fc coast, but it seems that at least one member
came through Honolulu, though he declined to re-
veal the whereabouts of the distinguished chairman
of his party.

Try Grandmother's old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak

to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t 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 a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark. glossy and
attractive.

The theory of the text book authori-
ties on craftsmanship is that no sale is
consummated until the commodity is
paid for. Applying this principle to
the business of the average grocer,
the bulk of his stock is consumed be-
fore it is sold, and too frequently it
is the grocer and not the goods that
are finally sold.
