We are more impatient of the sham, the make believe, the
dilatory, the merely rhetorical and oratorical. We are more impa
tient of the obscure, the tedious, the impotent, the superfluous, the
far fetched.
We have a new and a sharpened sense for the REAL, the
VITAL, the LOGICAL. The dilatory and meandering methods of
even such a writer as Hawthorne tire us a little now, and the make
believe of a Dickens is well nigh intolerable.
WE WANT A STORY TO MOVE RAPIDLY; WE WANT THE ES
SAY FULL OF POINT AND SUGGESTION. WE FIND IT MORE AND
MORE DIFFICULT TO READ BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS, AND ALL WRIT
ING "ABOUT AND ABOUT" WE ARE IMPATIENT OF. WE WANT
THE THING ITSELF; WE WANT CURRENTS AND COUNTERCUR

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
- WEINHARD BUILDING.
a mighty horsepower of horse sense
makes the wires tingle. Harvey E.
Cross, "Father of Gladstone,'' and a
mighty good citizen, who happens to
be Main Trunk for the nonce, hit up
on a novel and a successful plan when
he decided to ask each member to
suggest a subject for discussion at fu
ture luncheons. As a result a battery
of subjects was turned loose, and
each one of them contains possibili
ties that would keep versatile men
like the members of the Live Wires,
busy in discussion for hours if they
only had the time.
Think ye of the possibilities for
discussion in the subject suggested
by Frank Busch, "The speedy erec
tion of a commodious public dock;
egress and ingress most important
point in selecting a site." The only
trouble with the subject is that each
member would be on the affirmative
side, and the discussion would lack
that vim and vigor that always ac
companies one which is enlivened by
our old friends, "pro and con," both
participants. And in this connection
doesn't it seem strange that some
thing it is agreed that the city needs,
agreed by every business and profes
sional man, like the public dock, does
not become a real living thing al
most instanter? No one opposes it,
it is agreed by all that the dock

should be built, it was so agreed more
than a year ago, and yet we have no
public dock. It is possible that the
free Jocks, improved by an expendi
ture of almost $1,000,000, will become
a reality before a free dock is built?
Seems like putting the cart before
the horse, doesn't it?
F. J. Tooze made a mighty import
ant suggestion, towit, "That the city
operate its own electric light plant."
While it has not the unanimity of
approval as the free dock proposition,
if is one the Live Wires doubtless
will give due consideration. Other
cities own and operate their electric
light plants and have made a suc
cess of it.
A majority of the members urged
the building of good roads and they
have the sentiment of almost all the
residents of the city and county
behind them. The suggestion of John
W. Loder that a modern city hall be
erected was a good one, and it will
become a reality in the near future.
But it is impossible to comment on
all the subjects- offered for discus
sion. Suffice it to say that all were
good ones, and we are convinced that
after they have been given consid
eration by the AVires much that will
redound to the betterment of civic
conditions will result.
Each Live Wire Watt is worth his
weight in gold.
EXPRESS .COMPANY The news
LOSS U. S. GAIN from New York
that one express
company has suffered such- a loss of
business as a result of the inaugura
tion of the parcels post that it has
been compelled to discharge 75 em
ployes in one offce is a testimonial
to the prescience and courage of our
national legislators in providing a
system that has long been in success
ul operation in many of the older
countries. The number of packages
mailed daily in the metropolis as ev
erywhere in the United States is in
creasing daily. And while it did not
take a phophet or the son of a proph
et to inform us years ago that such
would be the case when the govern
ment established the system, isn t it
strange that the greatest democracy
on the face of the globe waited so
long? But after all we are a slow
people. We feel our way all the
time Then too in the past, wealth,
coin of- the realm, certificates of de
posit, have played an important part
in the "feeling of the way."
For almost half a century Senator
Morgan, o't Alabama, who was the
patriarch of the senate, worked un
ceasingly for a mighty canal across
the Isthmus of Panama. He blazed
the trail for a mighty waterway that
would connect the two great oceans.
But Senator Morgan, grand old man
as he was, met with scant encour
agement. There was an undercurrent
that was against him. Transcontinen
tal railways, made powerful by sub
sidies from the government, opposed
the building of the canal. They were
glad when the DeLessups regime
failed. Surely after that disaster the
United States would not have the
courage to try such a visionary
scheme. But Morgan kept hammer
ing away, and, finally the people
came to the conclusion that he was
working along the right lines.
Then came the Big Stick with that
inimitable ability to dip into the fu
ture and especially grasp an opportun
ity that would bring him glory. A
strip of land, the canal zone, as it
is now known, was seized and in less
than one year hence the mightiest
ships of the world will carry the
largest cargoes through .the greatest
canal ever built. And it is as it
i should be. '
j Congressmen and senators have
I fough for the parcels post from time
j immemorial, but the process of ac-
complishment was slow. The express
companies were powerful, but they
finally lost.
Verily are we slow in the consum
mation of what 'every one of us knows
is best for us. But we get there.

Blue Sky.
Tbe blue sky. which reveals itself as
the hemispherical vault of the firma
ment in the absence of clouds, is noth
lng more nor less than the far depths
of the air sending back to the observer
some part of the solar illumination
which it receives. The liht thus re
turned to the eye is blue, simply be
cause the particles of the air are of
such exceedingly diminutive size that
they can effectively deal with only the
smallest of tbe luminous vibrations

OLD-TIE REMEDY
DARKENS THE HASR
GIVES COLOR, LUSTRE TO FADED
AND GRAY HAIR DANDRUFF
QUICKLY REMOVED
For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
trouble?. Almost everyone knows tha
value of such a combination for keep
ing the hair a good even color, for
curing dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair, and for promoting the
growth of the hair. Years ago the
only way to get a Hair Tonic of this
kind was to make it in the home,
which was trublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays, ' al
most any up to date druggist can sup
ply his patrons with a ready-to-use
product, skillfully prepared in per
fectly equipped laboritories.
An ideal preparation of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable
remedies for scalp troubles and thin,
weak hair that is losing its color or
coming out. After using this remedy
for a few days, you will notice the
color gradually coming back, your
scalp will feel better, the daudvuff
will soon be gone, and in less than a
month's time there will be a wonder
ful difference in your hair.
Don't neglect your hair if it is full
of daudruff, losing its co'or or com
ing out. Get a fifty cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, and see what a few days'
treatment will do for you. All drug
gists sell it, under the guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the rem
edy is not exactly as represented.
