DEMOCRATS TURN TO SOUTH.

When Chairman Clem Shaver shall call the Democratic National Convention to order in Houston Texas on hot day late in June, this year. it will be the first time in almost a century that the party of Jeferson Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson has gone to the South proper to hold it's national gathering and choose its standard bearer for national campaign For eighty years during all of which time the South States have made up the backbone of the Democratic Party, these big party meetings have gone to cities in other sections of the country generally ln doubtful State for reasons of ex- pedieney" as one of the speakers told the Ma tional Committee last week in urging it come to Houston this year
 To Jesse H. Jones' Treasurer of the Demo- cratic National Committee and Houston pub fisher must be credited very largely the decision of the Committee. After all, it wasn't sentiment so much. nothing at all of expedency, but a matter of hard cash that turned the tide from San Francisco to the Southern city. MT. Jones figured in the turn of the tide by laying before the National Committee personal check for $200 GOO for the party confers if the Houston offer was accepted. None of the possible Presi- dential candidates their friends had any ob- jections to Houston, and the cash offer accom- plished its object.
 It will be great convention from many standpoints. The party leaders see a chance for national victory in the November elections That will bring out forceful leadership in the conclaye. The ancient faiths of the party will be reaffirmed In the midst of a people which have unswervingly adhered to them through all diversity. in times of political poverty as well as the piping periods of affluenee The problems and issues of today will be discussed in tho light of the doctrine based upon that faith And these things make for real political con ventions. And not least will be the hospitality for which the South is famed. that will b, extended to those visiting the city the frs mission of it's kind in the modern history of tn, Democratic Party.

SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color
 and Lustre to Hair

Taal DeauuiIul. even shade of dark. glossy hair can only be had by brewing mixture of Sage Tea aud Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When il fades, turns gray or straaked, just an applica- ton O. two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hun dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients for only 75 cents, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now be- cause it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after anoth- CT application it becomes beauti- fully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. adv

 This was demonstrated recently at Kelly Field flying school of the Army A bunch of young men, desiring to become flyers, had failed to pass the required tests and told they lacked inherent flying ability. This explanation did not satisfy some of the disappointed would-be Lind berghs they sought concise definition in order that they might clearly comprehend what it they lacked

Good Fellows in the White House.
(New York Times. ]


 Among the curios.ties of national politics is the Administration if the Administration will exchange parties with it. This was the set which Wilson alienated early by animadversions con corning the innocent Chevy Chase Club, but which he made his enemy forever by failing to meet at dinner luncheon and tea. For if one has money and fine house in Washington, and likes to make that the center of admiring throng, the President and his wife almost essential factors. An Ambassador helps
 According to Frank R. Kent of The Baltimore Snn--and he knows his Washington-this group. which adored the gresarous Harding and has been at least calling terms with the Coolidgcs, is bitterly opposed to Herbert Hoover because he and his wife have summed it seduously This is not very important to Mir. IIooyer's Presidential prospects, because these District social leaders have vote and their dislike for any official pair will hardly affect citizens elsewhere who have votes. But suggestions of it appear in the Washington press. and those who know what the hammers and hear them when they fall. MT Hoover will probably get many of these soft blows in the next few months, while Gov Smith will not get any. On the contrary he may be astonished to find himself praised in what he had supposed Republican quarters in Washington. The reason will be not because the Governor is their beau ideal of dancing and dining man, but because they want ''mix- err Those who don't really know ZAP smith home body" if there one-associate him ncongruously with the gadabouts of Broad way

GEN. GEORGE GOETHALs.

With the death of Major General Georga Goethals passes one of the most famous engineers of all time, whose achievements in the building of the Panama Canal refuted the claims of such men as DeLesseps the French engineer whose genius made possible the Suez Canal, that the linking of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean by a passage to serve modern seagoing vessels was impossible He succeeded where many others had failed The first effort made by the Dutch in 1S3O The French companies and their experts were not more successful Then, after 1903 American civil engineers undertook the task But after three years of untiring work, their progress had been so slow that President Roosevelt selected then Colonel Goethals to head the undertaking and under him the Army's most skiful engineers carried out the project literally moving mountains in the operations.
 Today the Panama Canal stands monu- ment to General Goethals, and to those officers and men who formed the force engaged in it's construction Six long years it took to cut through the narrow isthmus dividing the oceans whose waters wash the eastern and western shores of the American continent. Tropical diseases had to be overcome, mountains removed, rivers damned, all in torrid climate that made work nightmare But in the end the dream of centuries was realized. In little more than a half-decade, General Goethals and his aids had accomplished a fegts which had baffled the en- .sinserng5 genius ofe t]le world for more than half century
 And it stands job well done. It is an accepted institution, functioning night and day Through it pass the ships from the Seven Seas carrying the flags of all nations. The humble rusty and battered tramp paatial yachts, great merchant vessels men-of- war, use this abiding work of the master builder. No marble shaft or mausoleum is needed to keep his memory green For as the years pass and generation fol1 aS Panama Canal shall be the connecting link between the Atlantic and Pacific, will it's name and fame be synono- nous with the and genius of Major General George Goethas.

President Coolidge Aids Alaska.
(Ketchikan Chronicle. )


 News of the appointment of Colonel George S. Gibbs. to be Chief Signal Officer of the United States Army with rank of Major-Gen comes good news for Alaska. In fact, the appoint ment is material help to Alaska in that Colonel Gibbs is better acquainted with the Territory, it's communications and needs than any other man eligible to the exalted position could pos sibly be.
 Colonel Gibbs received his initiation in AL aska young Lieutenant in charge of con struction of a portion of the telegraph lines of the Territory. After many years during which he played an important part in the World War, in which he military honors from many na- tions, he returned to plan, oversee and install the cable system which is now, giving such excellent service to the Northand.
 Colonel Gibbs is designated Chief Signal Officer for a period of four years. During that time it is to be hoped that he will direct and see concluded the completion of the line to the Orient In laying the present cable, looking to the future, he provided system which may well be ex- tended to the Far East It is to be hoped that he will carry out to completion this system which will aid materially in the better relations of America and Japan, China and other Oriental countries.
 Communication spells understanding, under standing means better relations, better relations lmean peace.
 The Chronicle and Alaskans generally will join in congratuating President Coolidge upon his choice of Chief Signal Officer.

 Americans never have fully realized what vast resources Alaska possesses Because of the for bidding climate, few Americans visit the Terri tory, and few have any interest in it. Doubt less many of them do not know that all of the Territory has not yet been explored, and that discoveries of importance frequently being made. It is not true that there more lands to explore outside. of the polar regions. Parts of Alaska are still waiting to be veiwed for the first time by white One of the blank spots on the map of the Territory re- gently filled out when expedition sent by the United States Geological Survey reported that it had discovered river having drainage basin of more than HOO miles, lake 23 miles long and an active volcano Each survey of this kind makes it easier to estimate the great potential wealth which Alaska holds in it's supplies of fish and game of precious metals, of high grade coal and soil-to say nothing of water power. This vast Territory, whose name connotes bleakness and frgidity, has annual output valued at many millions. although the surface of it's wealth has barely been scratched.
