And now the whole nation pulpit and
take up the war cry, and shout
itself hoarse, and mob any honest man

presently such mouths will cease to
open. Next the statesmen will invent
cheap lies, putting the blame upon the

will be glad Of those notwithstanding
falsities, and will diligently study them,
and refuse to examine any REPUTATION OF

LADIES! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into =
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition Of other ingredients
large bottle, at little cost. at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it SO natural
'lN so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time: by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet reaui-
site. It is not intended for the cure,
nigitation or prevention Of disease.

A. Change IN Tactics.

The Pioneer Press and Dispatch of
st. Paul were some Of the most violent
OF the press who treated New Ulm with
extreme injustice two years ago. They
were among those who printed the names
of wheat hoarders in this vicinity. Now
they are reaping the harvest of what they
have sown. They have lost dozens Of
subscribers thru Southern Minnesota
because Of their unfairness. Since their
circulation department. realized the stu
alton they have canvassed and re-
canvassed this vicinity, with little success
if one may judge from their strenuous
efforts to hold old subscribers in line.
They offer premiums galore for re-
neWals. They continue to send papers
long after they have expired altho this
practice is contrary to all rules of daily
papers. And now their news editors
have been ordered to publish such
material as will placate those they have
formerly misused. That is the reason
for the seven columns Of space they gave
Saturday to the mistreatment of the
farmers of Southern Minnesota. Don't
be deceived. The leopard cannot change
his spots. He simply seeks to hide
them skilfully. The. Pioneer Press ex-
pose OF WYE was a bid for the dollars
and cents of German farmers in this
vicinity, not an evidence of anv change
of heart.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Augean Stables.
Continued from page ~

dirty work done to require Hercules
to set it right. In this town there is the
Brown County Journal which might
come first in the cleaning out-and
which has been pretty well cleaned up"
if not out. It's editor has been from the
start the creature who smeared filth
all over the city and the surrounding
country districts. For two years he
and his lying, filthy sheet have befouled
New Ulm and have upheld every vile,.
contemplate plan to brighten the help
less, bewildered people into acquiescence.
His paper it was that printed with glee
the names of farmers who were wrong
fully forced by wye to stand and deliver,
and when the full truth is known we.
predict that the names of the great
majority of the farmers who were visited
by WYE in this neighborhood will be
found to be the names of farmers who
have declined to read the Journal for
the past two years. Dirty work. Yes,
indeed. But our friend Philip was
not alone in his efforts to besnlirch and
befoul the names of honorable citizens.
His paper was only one Of several printed
in Brown County that did the farmers
the injustice to hold them up to scorn
as wheat -hoarders. The Review did
not print the names of those misused
farmers in any instance because the
Review knew the dirty work going on
and refused to be a party to it.
A recent issue of Springfield paper
reports very mildly that Yves activities
were being investigated. That same
paper also gloated last summer over
the fact that the farmer wheat hoarders'
had been properly disciplined. And
with the support of such 'sloyaP' news
papers young WYE proceeded merrily
on his way-going to Redwood County,
one of whose Pharisee papers had
thanked God they had no wheat hoard
ers-and finding there also farmers who
had allowed few pounds of wheat to
lie about on their granary floors, and
forcing them to let their new crop stand
waiting for the sickle while they took
bushel or two Of huekmer}utter to market
and ''settled" with the Red Cross.
From Redwood to Mcleod he went
where the farmers suffered likewise at
his hands. The Augean Stables were
quite extensive it seems, covering a |
territory as wide as all of Southern
Minnesota and it's some task all right
to clean them out, but it will be done,
and with thoroness that will make
you Philip,-and others-wish they had
never heard of "wheat-hoarding' or
"disloyalty'' or any of the other nice
