will continue to be so as long as Chile
does not cast aside her magnanimity.
Foreseeing the events brought about
by the victory OF the Allies. the Peru
vians declared themselves in favor of
the cause which had to triumph in the

means Of erroneous statements arouse

To compare Tacna and africa with

of place as 1t would be to compare
Texas. Puerto Rico or the Philippines

Tacna and africa were given to Peru
,, as an indemnity that she made to
Chile to repay for the sacrifices OF a
war that she was dragged into for the
purpose of taking territory away from
her, believing Chile to be a weak
country. Tacna and africa will remain
in the possession Of Chile or will be
returned to Peru in accordance with
the existing treaties just as soon as
the inhabitants decide to which country
they wish to belong. The continuous
revolutions in Peru and change Of gov
ernment prevented any nation being
induced to risk any capital in coun-
try so disorganlzed. But the victory
Of the Chilean arms and the change
of ownership Of these provinces were
applauded by the civilized world:
Chile opens the doors Of her new pro-
vinces to her national rs well as for

charge OF these provinces, they would
have continued non- productive for the

no advantage Of them, nor did she Of
fer an opportunity to others who were
more enterprising to develop same.
Until recently Cuba, the Philippines
and Alaska were of little advantage to

few privileged characters who reaped
some benefit from their riches. Now
that the United States has organized

ducins for the world. Chile has done
rs much in the ex-provinces of Peru.
Chile does not wish nor does she

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
British Statesman Says Idea is Of
Tremendous Importance.

London Dec. 6-Authur J. Balfour,
secretary OF state Of foreign affairs
in outlining his views on the peace
conference told the Associated Press
that he thought the meeting In Paris
this month would be merely informal
and preliminary to the conference OF
the associated governments at the first
Of the year. which would formulate
all the important terms OF peace
agreements. This conference. he add
ed, would be the most important and
the longest Of the series. When 1t
was finished the enemy countries
would be called in to ratify the conclu-
sions reached.
Mr.. Balfour said the British gov
ernment had not yet made any fixed
arrangements for President Wilson to
visit England as It would be prema-
ture to do so until more was known
regarding the presidents own plans.
Great Britain would be guided solely
by his wishes.
The foreign secretary said he be-
lieved the question Of a league OF ma
tions was the most important work
imposed on the conference. "The
prominence Mr. Wilson has given
the subject is a valuable contribution
to civilization" he declared.
"I think" continued Mr.. Balfour. "a
league Of nations, a vital necessity II
this war is to produce all the good we
expect to come out Of 1t. The United
States would have to bear a large
share Of the work 1t involves. 1t
should be something more than
mere instrument to prevent war
The world Is more complicated than
we are inclined to think. 1t would be
folly to imagine 1t possible to consti-
tute world with states endowed with
equal powers and rights.
But / wish to say emphatically. In
my opinion to devise in congress
workable machinery for them Is one
of the highest functions the congress
can deal with"

INADEQUATE SALARIES.
Pay of State Officers is Now Ridic-
ulously Small.

Pay OF State Ofncers Is NOW Hiolc-
ulously Small.
Realizing that the ridiculously low
salaries paid to its public servants by
the state for the past two decades
should not continue, writes the Colum-
bia correspondent to The News and
Courier, there was a meeting Of the
state officers in the office Of the sink
ing fund commission last Friday
morning, presided over by Governor
Manning. at which time 1t decided to
ask the incoming general assembly to
materially increase the compensation
Of the officers OF South Carolina. For
that purpose a committee, composed
OF Thomas II. Peoples. attorney gen.
eral, as chairman. and w. A. McSwain
state insurance commissioner: ;. 7.
Carter, state treasurer. and NJ. J. MIL
Ter. secretary Of the sinking fund
commission, was appointed to draft a
bill for presentation to the Legisla-
ture on its opening day when II con-
venes here January IA.
It Is believed that II the general as
sembly enacts the law increasing the
salaries during the first week OF Its
session and II 1t is signed by the gov
ernor before January 20. 1920. the in
coming administration can have
larger salaries. The constitution OF
1895 provides that the compensation OF
state officers shall be neither in
creased nor diminished during the pc
riod for which they have been elect
ed.". Some legal authorities interpret
this as meaning that there could be
no increase after the general election
in November, when the state officers
are designated.
There have been various efforts to
increase the compensation Of the state
officers during the last few years
notably during the last session OF the
general assembly, but they always
failed, the legislature evidently taking
the position that South Carolina Is
lavish with her public servant3. No
one thing has held South Carolina UP
TO ridicule more than the niggardly
way in which she has paid her Of
ficers. The governor receives the
munificent salary Of $4,000 a year
which cannot possibly pay his expen-
ses. and the other state officials, with
a few exceptions, arc drawing down
the handsome salary Of $1,000. To
show the absurdity Of the thing. the
state treasurer, receives $1,000 year
and he Is required to furnish a surety
bond for 100000.
It is likely that an effort also will
be made to have the General Assem-
bly Increase the pay Of the clerical
forces Of the state officers. Pracu-
cally none Of these clerks. represen-
ting character and efficiency. Is re-
ceiyine what he Is due. Many Of them
are working through patriotic mo-
tives.
The general assembly has recog-
nized that there is an insufficiency OF
compensation paid the officials OF the
state. for the recent officers created
carry larger salaries. The state ware
house commissioner receives $4,000 a
wear. as does the state bank examin-
er. the chairman Of the state tax
commission and the secretary Of the
state board OF charities and correct
IONS receive $1,000 per annum each
for their compensation.

SAGE TEA TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
IT'S GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE TO
BRING BACK COLOR AND
LUSTRE TO HAIR.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application
or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances
its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents for SOC large bottle, all ready
for use. 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always
be depended upon to bring back the
natural color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
| time; by morning the gray hair has dis
appeared, and after another applica.
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This rea-
dy-to-use preparation is delightful
toilet requisite for those who desire
dark hair and youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiea-
| ton or prevention Of disease.
