A VOTE OF REPUTATION

Senator Harding is, we think, cor
rect in interpreting his victory as a
reputation of the Wilson administra-
ten.
The country endorsed President Will
son for reelection on the platform
that he kept us cut of war" A few
months later, Mr.. Wilson put the coun-
try at war.
1t is our belief that the country did
not desire to repudiate the war in its
vote for Harding SO much as to repud-
late the failure of eRilson to prepare
the country for war. his willingness
Ia sacrifice preparations for war to
vnt many considered either personal
whim or political exigency.
With war declared, Mr.. Wilson vir-
tually insisted on a personally conduc-
ted war. He had called to his cabin
ct clerks instead of advisors. He Sc
lected Wilsonites rather than Demo
Gratis. throughout his entire term. The
business men called into the govern
ment service were either ''pets" Of the
administration or were made to be
subservient to the Wilson system or
were largely made useless. Money
was poured out almost as freely as
propaganda. Behind the smoke screen
Of false patriotism a great deal of
waste, stupidity. and inefficiency was
covered up. With "disloyalty'' as
pretext, sort Of reign Of terror was
started in the country. Meantime the

Mary Tudor was of Scotch and Soda ancestry, with a dash of French. Her father was a crowned head, his stage name having been James of Scot land, and her mother was Mary of Lor- raine. High birth was a handicap in politics then just as it is now. If Mary Queen of Scots, had been of humble origin, she probably would have led pony ballet and vamped angels that carried bankrolls instead of harps, and she probably would have found it much safer to be a Queen of Diamonds.
 King James died a few days after Mary was born, so she was made a, queen at the. tender age of two weeks, and was given crown to cut teeth on.
 With no father to guide her, she was betrothed while still in rompers to the Dauphin of France, and was

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

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible as we are living in an age when youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays. though. we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the 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" It 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 a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appiica lions. it also pro- duces that soft lustre> and appearance \of abundance which is so attractive.

America Spurns sovietism

Charles Aubray Eaton, in Leslie's. The soviet apostles of hate and force have been everywhere at work
 among the ignorant aliens and vii cious-minded natives. especially in cur great cities They have set our Eicion, class hatred and selfish fear. They have split the socialist party and called to the banner of con- munism the more radical socialists. leaving the old-line socialists, of W hom John Spargo is an honorable representative, marooned in an aca- demic vacuum. They have attracted addlc- headed weddings among native Americans who dream that they are Liberals" and who are tolerated be- cause. while shoy of brains, they have money They have nearly disrupted organized labor at the moment when 1t had achieved place of power and permanence.
 And now they are calling to their aid religious people who do not hesi : tate to associate the name of Jesus with those who hate the name and all if stands for.
 This is a fairly good bag for one years fishing. But it Is no evidence that cext year will produce more. In-

 all private property and the infliction
 of despotic force upon the people who

Channel Sweeper for Canal

To aid in the maintenance of the New York state barge canal, a channel sweeper has been devised, not hereto fore demanded by the construction of the older canals, writes Gordon P Glea- son in the Popular Mechanics As time goes on and the banks disturbed by re- cent excavations assume their natural slopes, the need of dredging will become less investigations, however, show that within one year sufficient material may be deposited within the canal to make the available depth of water considerably less than the prescribed twelve feet. An example of this was found in the chan nel east of Oneida Lake. This was com pleted to a full twelve foot depth in 1909, yet, in 1917. it was so washed in with sand that 1t was necessary to re- move thousands of cubic yards of this material.

 LIZ HAIR A LONG MEMORY
 But Mary wouldn't stay put She vamped George Douglas, brother of the keeper. and made a getaway. She joined her friends, and they had bat 1 tie with her enemies at Langside It was spelled Landslide in Marys lexi- con. Her army was routed, and she i fled to England She thought Queen Elizabeth had forgotten all about that monogram on her undies but she didn't know Liz. The Queen had Mary locked in a series of castles changing the meyer so often to fool her ad- mirers.
 Twenty years of this cage life Mary Tudor endured. Her only revenge was ; writing sacastice notes to Elizabeth, reminding the Queen that she was so ugly she had to cover her face to let the sun come up in the morning. Mary was not without friends, but they were unfortunate. The Duke of Norfolk married her in spite of her prison sen- tence, and lost his head for it. Then Elizabeth got cold feet. She promul- gated law providing that if anyone attempted to rescue the prisoner or threatened the life of the Queen of England, the prisoner should pay for 1t with her life. The national anthem sounded like "So Long Mary" after that. A lad named Anthony Babington fell in love With Mary and tried to puncture the Elizabethian diaphragm.
 Mary was placed on triakswith forty lawyers against her, and not even a bailiff on her side. She conducted her own defense. but it was all framed from the start. The judges reached the verdict before the trial started and Mary was sentenced to be beheaded the next morning at 8 o'clock
 T always did say it would be the death of me to get up that early in the morning" twitted the Queen of Scotts.
 That was in 1887. Elizabeth died. an old maid, in 1903, nd Marys son became King James of England and Scotland.

m IHe IbBdI UIHIHg TOOIH- MARY TRIES GRASS WIDOWHOOD


 This brought on the first quar- el be- tween the Darnleys. Mary told her husband she was distinctly off him for life The idea of him doing such a thing, when stenographerS were so scarce!
 Even when her son was born a few months later, Mary refused to live with Darnley, so he joined the bull moose wing of her party.
 To fight her turbulent, highballing Scotchmen, Mary borrowed an army from a hard boiled brigand named Boutwell, who had just returned from an enforced vacation in France. After her experience with lightweight hus : bands, this party with the bushwacker table manners appealed to her. Boutwell, begged her to divorce Darnley, but she was afraid of what her people would say. Boutwell, per- severed Darnley was convalescing from a case of smallpox and was seg- regated in a lonely house to keep from spreading contagion. Boutwell, parked all the gunpowder he could find under Darnley's private sanitarium, and that night an explosion went off that shook the countryside. as well as three or four townsides. Darnley woke up at- tired in wings.
 The bomb plot made Mary nervous.
 She determined to put a quietus on her pet desperado, before he went too
 far with his Bolshevik system of logic. They had a trial, but due to the un- popularity of the deceased, Boutwell,
 was cleared.
 , A few months afterward Mary was returning from Sterling Castle. after visiting her child. and Boutwell, cap tured her with 800 spearmint balber- diers and took her to his castle. a prisoner. Boutwell, looked so master full. attired in kits, with his brawny
