Kvery seat was sold, every box filled nnd standing room was crowded to Its lim it. Notwithstanding the size of the audience there was plenty of fun nnd lillarlty nnd thorough enjoyment for nil of them, and some to spare. It Isn't much as a play, lint as a string on which to string pearls of wit and the opalescent gleams of humor It wns great. From the first curtain to the last it was full of vim nnd vigor, life nnd movement, snup nnd go, pepper nnd ginger, nnd the Jamaica kind at Hint. The company Is a remarkably strong nnd well balanced one, every pnrt of the "noting machinery" being the hest possible for the place. Space forbids extended cctmment, for to do It justice In that lino would compel a wrlteup of each and every individual member of tho company. The weather was nbout as nasty n kind as could he Imagined, with fierce showers, nnd some wind, but rain nnd darkness and discomfort combined could not keep the play lovers away, nnd they braved the storm cheerfully, nnd were glad they did.

She said she was lying on a bed at tho Tolllver homo with Mrs Tolllver, and thnt Mrs. Tolllver suddenly told her that Lewis was not the man for her, that she ought to have a "big man like Tolllver" and not "a little fellow" of Lewis' type.

Obituary. Peter Francis died at his home on Riverside Drive, five miles southwest of Salem, at 5 : 4 r, p. in., October 21, 1912. He leaves besides his wife, two children, Mrs, W. O. Lamb of Oakland, Cul., and Charles Francis, of Harney county, Oregon. Mr. Francis was born In Canada September 1, 1851, coming to Oregon, where he settled, when lti years of age He was engaged in the livery busi ness In Salem for a number of years, retiring from business here four years ago. Since quitting tho livery busi ness he hns purchased and conducted a farm nt the place of his death. W. II. Francis, of Howell Prairie, and Alexander Francis, of Dunbar, Neb., are brothers of the deceased. The fuiiernl will be held from the residence nt 11 o'clock a. in., Thurs day, and burial will be nt the City View cemetery, Rev. P. S. Knight officiating. Wants a Uniform System of Meeting Public Accounts Relieving the working out of the plan will result In a saving of money In the rendering of accounts In the several counties of the state, Governor West will submit to the state legisla ture a scheme for a uniform method through which the county officials shall report their accounts instead of allowing each official to work out his own system. Th'o governor's plan Is that the en tire system of accounting shall be un der tho supervision of the secretary of stnte, and that the reports of the county officials shall ho submitted di rectly to that official. Governor West hns completed a tentative outline of the plnn. The governor believes that extrava gance In state government Is due largely to the inability of the state to keep a check of the accounts and to gather Information. As an example of the inefficiency of the present sys tem the governor cites the Interstate commerce commission which has found it. impossible to make Investiga tion Into the nccounts of the different railroad companies becnuso of the va riety of systems employed by them which makes a comparing of cost units Impossible. Governor West believes the taxpay ers throughout the state will be recip ients of much benefit by the new sys tem if It Is Inaugurated. The annual rr ports of the county officials, after hi'vlng been put Into the hnnds of the se cretary of state, would be published In n sufficiently full manner as to en iiblo tho taxpayers in each county to compare the figures with those of oth er counties, Another class of people who would be benefited would he those whose business makes it necessary for them to investigate the records in counties other than those In which they make their homes. Should tho chnngo be nrthorized by the legislature, the plan In detail will probably be worked out by a conference of the secretary of state with the county clerks of the various counties. The governor thinks thnt with a system of accounting which would result in all figures go ing Into the hands of the secretary of state and later published for distribu tion throughout the state, the county officials would use much more care than under the present system In their expenditures.

The following editorial from the El gin Recorder is worthy thf attention of every reader: The people of Oregon owe It to them selves to devote as much time as pos sible to politics during the time inter vening between now and election day. It is good business policy to do so, for the laws which will be either rejected or adopted are laws that vitally affect your financial welfare. They should be studied carefully and on election day each voter should take with him to the polls a list of the numbers on wnicn no intends to vote "Yes or No." Because you do not understand STATISTICAL WM.

A Harmless Way to Darken (he Hair A Little Suge nnd Sulphur Jlnkeg Gray 11 n Ir VmiMi A Itemed far All Hair Troubles. Who does not know the value of snge and sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft and glossy and In good con dition? As a matter of fact, sulphur is a natural element of hair, and a de ficlency of it In the hair s held by many Bcnlp specialists to be connected with loss of color and vitality of tho hair. Unquestionably, there is no bet ter remedy for hair and scalp trouble cepeclally premature grnyness. than snge and sulphur, if properly pre pared. The Wyeth Chemical Company of New York put out an Ideal' prepare tlon of this kind, called Wyeth's sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which sr.go and sulphur are combined with other valuable remedies for keeping the hair and scalp In clean, healthy condition. If your hair is losing its color or constantly coming out, or if you are troubled with dandruff or dry-, itchy scalp, get a fifty-cent bottle of Wyeth's Snge and Sulphur from your druggist, use It according to the simple dlrec tiens, and see what a difference a few days' treatment will make In the ap pearance of your hair.

Suppose you were a plaintiff In a case and the judge should decide ngninst you on the ground that he did tot understand the matter? Wouldn't you think he wns some fool Judge un fit for his position? Yet that Is ex- nctly what some newspapers, In order to discredit Oregon laws, are advising the people to do. It Is a safe bet that the people are as well qualified to pass upon the in itiative and referendum measures as the legislature waa on the something like seven hundred - measures that ccnie before it at the last session. There were very few who had formed any judgment whatever on the great majority of these bills, accepting as a rule the reports of the committees to which the bills were referred, In many Instances personal reasons and favor itism deciding the reference. The mo tives of the people are purer, as a rule than the motives of the legislature, and they are just as competent to de cide upon the wisdom of a measure. No voter should shirk the responsibility.
