TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
f Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea md Sulphur for darkening gray, stroaked and faded hair is grand notber's recipe and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color which is quite sensible, IS we are living in an age when q youthful appearance Is of the great est advantage.
 Nowadays though. we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and mussy mixing at home All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the- addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound II is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at q time; by morning the gray hair dis appears. but what delights the la dies with Wycth' Sage and Sulphur Compound. is that, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustrc and appearance of abundance which is so attractive

Longer Terms for
Officials Demanded
To Create Efficiency
To the Editor IF Tho Tribn,o

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At every dinner and at every
public gathering of late one sees the
principal speaker gaze into his audience
and explain, or try to explain, that our
government IS the largest business on
\ earth-that 1t ought to practice econ
omy along the lines of q private cor
poratlon. He fails to explain that in a
private corporation responsibility can
be traced TO certain individuals that
when an officer accepts position he
does so with the understanding that he
has certain duties to perform When,
IN lew years, he is familiar with his
surroundings, he is not asked to make
room for green" man. Our public
officers should have longer terms.
Show me & perfect government, and I
Will show you a government that cannot
be compared with a private corpora
ton. In a corporation management af-
fects the pockets of its officers. In
government it doesn't. In a corpora
tion responsibility can be placed. In
government it cannot. In a corporation
contracts cannot be broken without
serious consequences.
The Republican party should have a
plank something like the following:
"The Republican party solemnly prom
lses to carry its pledges to a satisfac-
tory conclusion. Should our pledges
be wilfully broken we invite the public
and all the newspapers to demand the
impeachment Of the officers response

Party's Duty to Fulfill
Pied ge to Ex-Soldiers
Justice to Those Who Fought
and Training for Future
Set Down as Policies

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The greatest opportunity Of the
day is for the Republican party to
carry out solemn pledges to the men
who defenosd our flag overseas. Birth
is matter Of accident, yet it has been
a matter of fevent praise giving by
many that they were privileged to be
born in America.
If present Jaws to protect Americans
are inadeQuate-they seem grossly So
then decent government demands that
they be altered. One of the most i'm
p,ortant bureaus of the government
the war risk insurance division h
so closely concerns the welfare of
millions of men and their families, has
failed ml.crably to junction.
Justice to the soldiers who fought
and justice to the nation in creating a
body, Of trained you'll should be de-
manded: Economics may be settled
ispassionatey, may even evolve Of
their own accord, as indeed many hope
after seeing the effect of maladminis-
tration of laws which no one can com
prehend. But the soldier of TODAY
and tomorrow needs a champion, else
he will enter the lists again

takes. We know we possess, or we be-

party. but let US not talk about that
in the political platform. Condemna-
ton and self-praise are neither honor
able nor sensible, out of politics or in

to draw up their platform on a basis
OF what they propose to do rather
than on the basis of what the Demo-
cratic party has left undone.

Somebody Tossed
A Monkey-Wrencll
Into u. S. Machinery
Bugaboo of the Separation
of Powers Must Be
Knocked Into a Cooked
Hat by Party, He Saws
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A theory should properly
underlie every involved course of
action, but when 1t is plainly misap-
piled, it may create much havoc in
the operation Of it's object The
ideas of checks, balances and separa- :
ton of powers have long constituted
an irritating "monkey-wrench" in
American government.
The truth of the matter Is that the
powers are not separated. The Presi-
dent exercises coordinate legislative
power through the veto; he has the
right to convene and address extraor-
dlnary sessions of Congress-; his ap-
pcintments and trcaty-making require
the approval of the Senate. The lower
and upper houses of Congress may re-
spectively impeach and try the Presi-
dent or the justices he appoints there
are times when the representatives
may be called upon to elect Presi-
dent-as has happened when the
choice Of Vice-President may devolve
upon the Senate. Similarly, the Fed
eral judiciary is appointed by the
Pfesldent; the chief justice of the
Supreme Court presides at the trial Of
an imneached President; the Senate's
consent must be had to all appoint
ments of judges by the President.
Many needed measures have perished
ignobly because some unthinking
Congressional orator has thundercd
forth the ancient doctrine of "thc
traditional inviolability of the separa-
ton of powers; however inapplicable
retained a curious Psychological hold
on many public men, with the result
that salutary proposals for intelligent
consolidation and efficiency have been
defeated.
Let the Republican party, in lis
declaration of principles and beliefs.
knock the bugaboo of the separation Of
powers "into cooked hat" and then
we can proceed along the lines dictated
by reason and necessity.

National Laws to Curb
Rent Profteers Favored

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS national issue, second
to none, must be counted that which
fs nowadays continually before the
public and which we hear spoken of at
every turn, namely: Rent profiteering
and the cost of the home.
Rents are increased from year to
syear by spectators and profiteers who
BUY, raise the rent, sell at profit
thereby, and pass on to another place
TO repeat the operation, while the pur-
chaser duplicates the original per-
Torrance and SO on ad intinitum. The
tenant IN each case pays wholly un-
justified increase on fictitious value

Of the necessary legislation to put n
stop to this public menace would seem

Dangers Seen
In Compelling
Aliens to Fight
Failure of Huge Military
Campaigns in Past Traced
to Absence of Loyalty
in Mercenary Soldiers
Army Needs Only Patriots
Even Naturalized American
Might Turn to Mother
Country in Case of War

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
!. Sir: In all historic periods the un-
DERIVING cause of the failure Of huge
military campaigns has been the lack
Of national patriotism. This condition
prevailed because of:
/. Hiring OF mercenary troops.
Q. Troops compelled to fight for
other countries than tLeir own. This
{a) Hannibal's defeat in the Second
Punic War.
tb) Britain's use Of Hessians in the
American Revolution.
(c) Napoleon's Russian campaign.
Many times troops were fighting un-
der compulsion while their sympathies 8
were with their technical opponents.
Thus many failures were brought
about by half-hearted fighting, treason
and desertion.
It has been proposed that all aliens
coming to this country be compelled to
take military training as part Of
their Americanization. Mayhap these
same aliens could teach US military
training! Let that be as it may; one
knows that minimum time in which
an alien might become Americanized
c0ulG not De put at less than SIX years.
Even then, should trouble arise be-
tween this country and foreign ma
ton, majority of that country's emf
grants to this country would sympa-
thize with and perhaps materially aid
her
Therefore, if we, the Republican
party include military training in one
Of our party's planks. let it be a military
training for American citizens. Then,
il any war should arise between this
country and another, we would have an
army to defnd US which would SYM
pathize in heart and soul with the
ideals Of our great government.

Sir: The. trouble with the political
platform of other days is that it has
seemed more like an adventure in
literary idcalism than the express
sion of a practical creed. It's phrase
ology mas invariably been vague and
hesitating rather than clear and firm.
1t has abounded in glittering gencrali-
ties, clever catch phrases, promise and
bunk.
Broadly, the average voter never has
bothered his head overmuch about
political platforms. Experience mas
shown him that to prophesys was one
thing and to fulfill quite another. To
loudly proclaim a principle before
election and reject its application after
election was q practice so common
among office seekers that it rarely
caused any comment or protest from
voters.

Consistent Democracy

We, the Republican party, realizing
the danger to national existence in
volved in the mal-administration OF
national affairs, pledge ourselves to
make consistent democracy the
corner stone of the government. For
it is evident that as long as one
citizen, in any section, is forced to
discharge the duties of citizenship

of the privileges and prerogatives
attached thereto, the nation can
neither effect nor maintain the mu-

To-Day's Prize Letter
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A platform really worth
while must be generic, not specific
definite, not vague--brief and SIM
pie, not lengthy and incomprehen.
sible.
Meticulously specific planks are a
snare. They are rarely lived up to.
Witness Mr.. Wilson'S Baltimore plat
form planks pledging the candidate
to one term and to the reduction in
number of useless offices"i
Elected on that platform, he is not
yet through coquetting with the idea
OF third term, and useless Offices"
are in existence in vastly increased
numbers. l am told there are $4,000
examples of "still life" in Washing
ton.
The Republican party must run on
its record of loyalty and achieve
ment. No one reads long platform
twice. Give the voters a statement
they will read over and over again.
The topics for generic, definite.
terse declaration need not include
much beyond the following:
Respect for and determination to
enforce TIE Constitution.
Acknowledgment Of the trust nat
ure of American government,
Readjustment of taxation alono
lines of justice and without discrim-
ination against localities or particu-
lar groups or interests.
Economy In appropriations to con-
form to income rather than increase
Of taxation to provide for wasteful
grants.

Exclude All Immigrants

General total exclusion policy for
emigration during a period Of years.
This would remove dangers that
threaten to come for many years,
and in the mean time conditions could
be improved through educational re-
form. Europe is exhausted by war.
She does not want her people to
emigrate, neither do we need them
in our industries. The European i'm
migrants have come from war zones
and are too apt to listen readily to
apostles of social unrest - "Drew
