The complete returns on the referendum
showed that from eighty to ninety-nine per
cent of the votes cast in forty eight states were
for the following propositions:
To return the roads to their owners for oper-
alton. with comprehensive regulation.
To bring the consolidation OF the roads IN q

hooking weak lines with the s.fong ones
To require the roads take out federal char

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
DRUGGIST SAYS LADIES ARE
USING RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR

Hair that loses Its color and lustre
or when it fades, rurns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by a lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmothers
made up mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful. and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which is SO attractive. use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture, improved by the addition of 9TH
er ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle OF "Wyeth 8
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly. that nobody can possibly tell
1t has been applied. You Just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with II ana
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound Is that,
besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications 1t also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives 1t an appearance Of abundance.

FLIGHT OF THE RLAcKRIRDs.

Christian Science Monitor: The
blackbirds were announcing their
departure south. 1t was rather early
hour, seven o'clock. but there was a
long journey to be taken that day so
the start had to be early.
Such a chattering was going on.
as bird after bird joined the group
and was greeted by his friends. The
little shrill cluck OF satisfaction was
heard on all sides. On the lawn be-
low, several birds were exchanging
salutations before flying to the start
ing place A little group on our
sun-porch roof looked down at my
window and said, Were off today, SO
good-by" To which replied, Good
by to you. A happy winter to you
and come back again next year"
Then the large trees In the garden
next door became the scene of great
activity, as they all took their places
for the flight. At first the outriders
went, six or eight of them, as though
they were the policemen who were
to pave the way for those to follow.
and then the forward march orGer
came and they all wheeled into the
sky and In orderly fashion, each one
in his own place, were lost in the
horizon toward the south.

Sioux City Journal: The Jour-
nal is not an advocate Of bitter
personal campaigns within the
republican party for the nomina-
ton of candidates for high offices
in the primaries. Such course
creates dissension Within the re-
publican ranks and leaves gaps
through which the opposition are
able to drive their forces in the
general election. The Journal Is
convinced that the perpetuation
of republican policies through
successful elections IS more Inn
portant to the people than the
success of any particular candi-
date, when all the candidates are
men capable of filling the posi-
ton with credit to the state.
What the people want in the prf-
mary campaign is facts upon
which to base their judgment, not
conclusions which they may or
may not follow.
The array of aspirants for the
primary contest in the republi-
can party in the state gives the
voters abundance of choice, both
in personal preferences and geo.
graphical distribution. There are
three leading aspirants at this
time. with = number Of others de-
sirous Of the honor. but not 50
aEEressively contesting the Aeld.
N. s. Kendall. Of AlbiA. is in the
race to stay. His home city Is
giving him generous support, and
clubs to push his candidacy
throughout the state, having
their origin among his support
ing neighbors, are beng formed.
James f. Deems, of Burlington,
former food administrator, is an
other aggressive CONTESTANT in the
lists. He will devote his time
between this date and the pri-
mary to his candidacy. He Is
running as farmer candidate,
asserting that he has made his
money on his farm, and that he
owns and operates his landed
interests as q business PROPOSE
ton rather than diversion.
Ernest r. Moore, OF Cedar
Rapids, at present lieutenant gov
ernor OF the state, is seeking the
nomination as the head OF the
ticket. His supporters are urg-
ing his candidacy because Of his
business qualities and hts
familiarity with public affairs in
the state.

among these three candidates.

JONES' WEAK CHARACTER.

not, indeed. feeble minded. He is on
good terms with the mi1kman and
doesn't even think his grocer Is try
ing to gouge him. He believes tho

WINGED him that he isn't profiteering

Of shoes. Son Tom had some bad
teeth filled the other day and the
dentists bill impressed him as rea-
sonable. Daughter Mary had to
have her tonsils out and he figured
that the surgeons bill hadn't kept
pace with the lower purchasing pow
er Of the dollar. The family took a
little trip around the country in the
car last summer and the hotelkeep-
ers seemed to be real human beings
in their charges. They stopped at
a small town garage to have a little
work done on the car and the man
said he guessed a quarter would be
about right.
Jones has come to the conclusion
there is something wrong inside his
head He knows he ought to de-
nounce all the people he deals with
as pirates and robbers. But they
seem to him to be about the same
sort of people he is and he doesn't
think of himself as pirate. Yes,
Jones must be an exceedingly feeble
soul.

THE NEEDED VIRTUES.

Paganism was insistent on justice; 1t taught
courage of high order; it extolled and often
exemplifed private honesty and morality; II
set great store on loyalty and patriotism All
Iof these virtues it argued to conform with rea-
son and its philosophers based their doctrine on
a national premise and method. And paganlsm
lived in hopeless world until it gave place to
a new doctrine
The christian religion put its great stamp OF
approval on three cardinal virtues, faith, hope
and charity Not any of these is so easily sup
Eported by reason as are the pagans virtues.
Faith and hope make belief transcend fact.
Charity is best when it is not a reasoned pro-
cess.
Just now it is the three great virtues we need
Sir particular influence. We need faith that the
great majority of men are at the last falr-mlnd-
led and DESTROYS Of ordered life. We need hope
that this spirit will become active soon to meet
the self, group and class efforts that are making
"a turmoil Of an ordered world. We need char
#ity toward the many who are following the
Thought Of others and not thinking for them
SELVES Without these virtues In operation we
are in danger of adhering again to the doctrine
that might makes right and such adherence
brings havoc
