turned to good account at times; but thsfe Is no reason
to suppose that chalk talks will soon be adopted az q
means Of getting legislation through congress. In addi-
ton 70 there being no known reason why Mr.. Baer should
be elected, there are conclusive reasons why he should
not DO elected. One Of these is the fact that because Of
the conditions of his employment, the manner in winch
he was fotstsd by an INSCRIPTIONS junta upon a lot Of
people who had never heard of him, and the tameness
and subservance with which he has accepted the role
thrust upon him, he stands forth as the representative Of
the policy of opposition to the government Of the United
States In its time Of direct need, the policy Of obstruc-
ton and nagsing. carping criticism instead Of the policy
of hearty and loyal support.
No exception can be taken to the attitude OF either

Band Concerts Voted
by People at Election

Besides other momentous matters that
must be settled at the meeting of the
city council on the evening of Nov 30,
the city fathers will be confronted with
that of band concerts.
The budget as prepared which will
come up for final passage Nov. 30, does
not include appropriations for band con
certs next summer.
On Dec. 2, 1912, the citizens of Sa-

ordinance provides that the expenditure
of the money slall be placed in the
hands of special committee and that
it shall be their duty to enter into a
contract for the band.
Now here is where the lawyer comes
i'll to interpret the law. The ordinance
voted by the people Dec. 2, 1912, just
merely provides for the expenditure of
$500 for band, and this has been
complied with as this amount was ex-
pended the following year. The lawyer
contends there is nothing in the ordin-
ance providing that the amount must
be expended annually. Hence, the law
having been complied with in spend
ing $500 for a band in 1915, there is
nothing in sight as to what should be
done during the summer of 1918.
A petition has been signed by many
of the leading business men of the city
asking that the band concerts be re-
tanned, but this petition didn't seem to
worry the city fathers to any great ex-
tent at their last meeting when he band
concert proposition was passed up and
no provision made in the budget.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's a Sim
pie Recipe That Anybody
Can Apply with a Hair
Brush

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother IS time
She used it TO keep her haid beautiful
ly dark, glossy and attractive. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy ami
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 80 cent bottle of
".Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen 4
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at "a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, it becomes beauti-
fully dark and glossy.
Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

Salem Floral Society
Holds Monthly Meeting

The Salem Floral society will here
after hold meetings only once a month
the first Monday of the month. Ar
rangements will be made whereby some
qualified person will give demonstra-
tions on plant and vegetable life.
The society now has on hand about
10000 rose slips ready for distribution.
Marion street will probably be the first
to receive many of these slips as the
property owners in that part Of the
city have shown a disposition to beauti-
fly their parkings.
1t is understood that a representative
of the Society did not receive much
encouragement from the property own
ers on the Fair grounds road, where
the Floral society proposed to give rose
slips sufficient for several blocks, on
the condition that a majority of the
owners of each block would
agree to plant in the parkings and keep
the roses well cultivated. 1t was hoped
that the entire fair grounds road would
be lined with roses.
Rose slips may be had from e. G.

Professor Nearing Quits;
Hillquit to Fill Dates

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-Morris Hill
quit, candidate for mayor of New York
at the recent election on an out and out
pacifist platform, is coming west to
carry out the lecture program which
Professor Scott Nearing failed to con
clude. Officials of the Peoples Council
here made this statement today.
Nearing left for Los Angeles when he
learned that Dreamland rink where he
was scheduled to speak had been closed
to him. 1t is understood he was great
ly disappointed over his reception in the
west.
If Hillquit comes, it is stated that he
will be prepared for legal tests of his
right to speak.
Before leaving here Nearing issued a
statement through the People Is Council,
in which he recited the difficulties he
had encountered during his speaking
tour.
"My work is now finished and finish

the efforts of the profiteers. The Peo-

you printed resolution against the
practice of carrying advertising for the
tobacco fund for our boys in the army.
This resolution was printed under the
heading Methodist Women Oppose To-
bacco Fund.- and would lead one to
believe that the women are the only
ones opposed to this fund, when as a
matter of fact there was one man IS
name with two ladies' signed to the
resolution and it had been adopted in
open meeting, both men and women
voting. Now, therefore, we, men, citi-
zens of Salem and heads of families
want also to voice our protest against
this fund for the following reasons:
l. We are not in sympathy with the
cigarette and feel that if such was sent
from home to the boys taht it would
have the effect of recommending them
to the boys and no doubt be the means
of starting many a boy to using them
that had never acquired the habit.
.. We dislike to see such appeals
made to the patriotic feelings and sym
pathies of the public and thus secure
many contributions from those that are
anxious to do anything they can toward
helping the boys and make such con-
tributions not thinking of the harm
they may do te boy both physically
and morally, when as matter of fact
we recognize that there is no patriotism
back of the movement but rather gi-
gantic advertising scheme on the part
of the millionaire tobacco company to
secure free advertising
8. We are of the opinion that the pa
pers that are carrying this advertising
are either being fooled into donating
that Influence to and unworthy cause
and helping a commercial venture, or
are helping fool the public. Also that
the so called reduced rates are in reality
but little if any reduced to the manu-
facturers and the difference in price at
which the tobacco is being furnished is
mainly made up in the cutting out of
the retail dealers profit.
