 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition or other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prepara- tion, because it darkens the hair beau tifuHy, besides, no one can possibly tell. as it darkens so naturally and evenly, You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at | time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lus- trous, and you appear years younger

Scott was not able to accomplish much

Mr.. JoHNsoN's PROGRAM.

Mr. Henry L. Johnson, who has been
appointed as head of the "colored''
bureau Of the Republican National
Committee, announces a program
as follows: u. =. -.
! (a) A law forbidding Jim.Crow
cars entering the capital at Wash:

J b) A General Executive Order
forbidding any such thing as segre
cation in any department Of the gov:
eminent or federal territory Of the

(c) Passage of law making lynch
ing a federal crime, with trial before
and punishable by the United States
Court.
s. (d) That Office holding should be
untrammeled with the full rights OF
any citizen to hold same and enjoy
the emoluments thereof. .: ~.
Ii The program" is very good as ia,
as 1t goes, but it stops far short OF
what it: should be. And there is a
fatal defect: The colored voters are
expected to swallow the bait and sup
port the. party on faith. Neither the
party nor the platform, nor the nomi.
nee, gives any assurance that the pro.
gram will be carried out in case the
Republican party regains power. The
only way to be sure of it's fu1fillment
is for the nominee to say NOW that
he will carry it out and then let the
publicity men and spellbinders spread
the news. ~. L. liz 49,: s ss.3.

EMMETT J. SCOTT WAS NOT AN
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF WAR.

(From the Boston Guardian.)
The essentially iimcrow character of
the position given to Mr.. E. J. Scott
by this Wilson administration, and the
inferior rank Of the position, and its
peculiar. cats-paw nature are clearly
proven by the following letter sent by
Secretary of War Baker to Represent
alive Dent Of Alabama. Here is the
letter:
During the war the War Depart
ment dealt with many hundreds Of
thousands of draftees and other SOL
die1s of the colored race. We were
constantly having delegations and rep
resentatives of colored people at the
War department upon matters con-
nected with war work, and the inter-
ests of men and women of the colored
race as affected by the war. In order
to have an intelligent comprehension
and sympathetic treatment of these
problems, asked Emmett J. Scott of
Tuskegee, to be special assistant to
the Secretary Of War tosdeal with such
matters. Scott, of course, was not an
Assistant Secretary of War, but spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary of War
for the special purpose which I have
indicated. His assistance was of the
greatest value to the government and
to the people OF the colored race.
Scott was stationed at Washing
ton throughout the war and did not
visit France at any time and was not
stationed at any camp of the canton
ments.- DR.. Notion, principal of Tus-
kegee. did, however, visit France at
my request and lectured. and talked to
colored soldiers Of the A. E. F.''
1t is noticeable that there is never
the prefix "Mr." before the name of
Scott. 1t is also clear that Mr.. Motion
represented the government and not
the race.
A lot of fuss was made in some of
the papers which circulated among
the colored people in 1917, about the,
appointment of Emmett J. Scott as
Assistant Secretary of War; al
though well informed people knew
that such was not the case. Accord
ing to the law, an assistant secretary
of war is presidential appointment.
and must be confirmed by the Senate
