Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell When
You Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and abundant with
a Brew of Sago Tea and Sulphur. When
even her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked apiiearuncp, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. liy asking at any drug
j store for "Wyeth's Sago ami Sulphur
lllair Remedy," you will get a birgo
bottle of this old timo recipe, ready to
use, for about 50 cents. This simple
mixture con bo depended upon to restoro
natural color and licnuty to tho hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scnl and flailing hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied it's so easy to uso, too.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush and draw it through your hair,
taking ono strand at a time. By morn
ing the grny hair disappears; after an
other application of two, it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and abundant. Local agent, J. C.

The Capital Journal Has Metropolitan
Method of Getting Its News From
All Over the World.
The Associated Press sends to several
towns, including Salem, what is called a
"pony" report a little smattering of
news so chopped down that the night
operator who handles the report at the
Western Union, when he is not working
on night letters, commercial and other
messages, has hard work to figure any
sense out of it. It is carried up to the
morning paper's office by one of those
swift Western Union lads and the desk
nyin makes a fairly successful effort at
filling it out and making it readable.
The report conies about as near being
nothing in the way of news as the old
Associated Press can perpetrate, be
ing largely a rehash of the matter in
the evening newspapers.
The United Press has no rival whon
it comes to handling the news of the
day and The Capital Journal is ex
tremely fortunate in having its service.
The Capital Journal 's wire is connected
with that of the Portland Journal and
the Portland News, Seattle Star and
Seattle Sun, San Francisco News and
other metropolitan papers. It is a livo
news service and eoers tho state, na
tion and world fully.
A pleasant surprise was sprung on J.
K. Crowe, manager of the Hotel Marion
feist night when thirteen of tho local
business men marched into his place of
business and carried him to tho diuVig
room which had been prepared while
".lack" was taking a snooze in his
room yesterday afternoon, tho betel
man's friends and brother business men
framed up the surprise party in his bun
or and out of appreciation of tho work
Mr. Crowe has done as a booster since
he has been a resident of Salem.
That tho honored one wins surprised
goes without saying, as ho had not the
slightest inkling of what was going on,
and when ho appeared in tho hotel lob
by after a good sleep, he was greeted
by tho visitors in a royal fashion.
After indulging in a fine dinner, the
party put in the .remainder of tho ev
ening in boosting Sa'em'ond Mr. Crowe
who, they rlaimod, is th,e'"livost whe

The Other Side of the Saloon Question
Answers to Prominent Salem Citizens by Men Who May Be as Well Posted.
Good morning, Mr. McKinley; did
you hear that W. H. Eldridge, of Sa-
lem, is advising the people to support
the licensing of saloons! What is your
opinion?
The liquor traffic is the most de
grading and ruinous of all human pur-
suits. By legalizing this traffic we'l'lluors will not be known upon our
agree to share with the liquor seller
the responsibilities and evil of his
business. Every man who votes for li
cense becomes of necessity a partner to
the liquor traffic, and all its conse
quences. "
Thank you, Mr. McKinley, we be-
lieve your opinion is as good as that of j
Mr. Eldridge.
.
Hello, Teddy, did you hear that E. P,
McCornack. of Salem is advising tho
people there to vote to retain saloons?
What do you think about itt
"The business tends to produce crim
inality in the population at large and
law-breakers among the saloon keepers
themselves."
Bully for you, Teddy, Mac is a good
fellow, but he has probably not studied
the subject much.
...
How do you do, Mr. Taft. By the
way, Mr. It. P. Boise, a well-known
citizen of Salem, is advising the peoplo
of that city to vote to uphold the liquor
business. Would you mind tolling us
what you think about itf"
"Tie who drinks is deliberately dis
qualifying himself for advancement. T
rofuso to take such a risk, I do not
drink."
Thanks, Mr. Taft; we bcliovo your
examplo will bo ns heavy as tho pre
cept of Mr. Boise.
How do you do, Mr. Lincoln; did you
hear that one of your most ardent ad
mirers, Mr. II. B. Thielsen, of Salem, is
advising voters to support the liquor
business! What is your opinion of tho
traffic t
"Whothor or not tho world would be
vastly benefitted by the total and final
banishment from it of all intoxicating
drinks Rooms to mo not now an open
question. Three-fourths of mankind
confess tho affirmative with their
tongues, and I believo all tho rest ac
knowledge it in thoir hearts."
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln. It would
bo easier to banish tho business if such
men ns Mr. Thielsen was with us, but
good men don 't alwnys agree.
...
Hero comes Governor Folk. Hello,
Joe, did yon hear that ono of your fel
low Democrats, Ban Fry, of Salem, was
advising the voters of that city to sup
port tho saloons! What do you think
about it!
"Tho saloon is a business, tho natur
al tendency of which is toward law
lessness, and the timo has come when
it will either run tho politics of the
stato, or bo run out of tho politics of
tho state."
Thanks, Mr. Folk, Ban Is a mighty
good man, and wo believo your hunch
will help him.
...
Seen Hoko Smith, ex-governor of
Georgia, the other day, and told him
Senator Hal B. Patton, of Snlem, was
out with a bunch of boosters advocat
ing tho retention of saloons. Hoko sniil:
"It is absolutely impossible to have
a permanent, decent, municipal govern
ment where tho saloon dominates mu
nicipal politic. Tho elimination of the
saloon will help municipnl politics ev
ervwhere.' '
Don't vou believe Hoke's advice is
as good as Hal's!
...
Here Is ex-Governor TTnch, of Kiiiimis,
By tho way, governor, Lot L, Pcnrco, a
prominent citizen of Salem, Oregon, Is
advising the voters, through the Salem
Welfare League, that tho revenues from
saloons is necessary to run tho city.
Do you agree with Mm!
"The devil never Inverted a bigger
llo thin that the revenue from illen'itl
mate noitcps Is necessary to the finnm
rial success of any town or ity."
Thanks, governor. Don't b"llev Mr.
Pcnrco wil Idlspnto you much.

stnto of Miclilgnn, what Is your opinion

mable ex postmaster, Is Advising tis to

Mr. oel, as chief executive of the
Krent commonwealth of Mislsslppl, do
; en believe prohibition prmYbltsf One
of our solid citizens, Will Hteusloff,
don't believe It. does, If ho Is consistent
to the statements of the Snlem Welfare
League, to which ho subscribes his
name,
"That our prohibition Inws do Im
mensely curtail tho selling and uso of
intoxicating liquor Is manifest to all
Intelligent, and fnlrmlndcd men who
have seen our laws tested, and Is dem
onstrated by tho immense expenditure
of ( I in ft, money and work. on tho part
of the brewery and liquor Interests In
their persistent endeavor to discredit
and repeal prohibition legislation."
Pounds logical, eh, Brother Rtcus
loffl Ilussel Catlin, a prominent citizen of
Salem, signs a statement urging voters
to retain saloons in that city. As gov-
ernor of Ohio, what is your judgment,
Mr. Hamsf
"Public sentiment is reaching such
a point when such a thing as laws per
mitting the dealing in tonxicating
statute books."
Looks that way, and there is evi
dently a reason.
Mr. H. W. Meyers, one of our fore
most merchants, advises us to retain
saloons in Salem. As governor of
North Carolina, what do you think
about it Mr. Glen:
"A man must take a square and un
mistakable stand for the right or foi
the wrong, for righteousness or for evil
for h"PPins or for misery, for justice
or ror oppression. As for me, I am
heart and soul against the liquor traf
fic. State-wide prohibition iB the one
end for which all true temperance peo
ple should contend, as giving the great
est good to the greatest number, the
fundamental doctrine of our democrat-
is form of government."
Tho best of men will disng.oo, you
see.
...
Br. W. 11. Byrd, legislator and phy
sician, advises us to voto for the li
censed saloon. Lot us ask Dr. T. B.
Crothers, of Walnut Lodgo Hospital,
Hartford, Conn., what ho thinks about
it. Ho says:
"The latest and most authentic sta
tistics show that over 10 per cent of nil
mortality iB duo to tho abuse of alco
hol, and fully 20 por cent of all dis
eases is traceable to this cause; also
that over 50 per cent of insanity, idiocy
und pauperism springs from this
sourco. All authorities agree that from
75 to 00 por cent of all criminality is
caused by tho abuso of alcohol. Those
and other well-authenticated facts indi
cate tho necessity of a moro exnet med
ical study of alcohol and its effects
and influence on socioty and tho indi
vidual." Strnngo that two great doctors should
tako such seemingly opposite stands.
Ex-Suproino Judge Slater, of Salom,
ndvisos tho voters to sustain tho li
censed saloon. Listen to tho language
of the "U. S. supremo court, in tho coso
of Crowley vs. Christensen, 137 U. S.

To A. N. Gilbert, of Salem, who ad
vises us to vote for the saloon we reply
again in the words of Lincoln:
"Tho liquor traffic Is a cancer In
society, enling out the vitals nod
threatening destruction. Attempts to
regulate It will not only prove futile,
but will aggravate the evil."

you to say of the advice of Charles II.
I'nrhhurst, who said:
"I know what these saloons are, 1
have visited them at nil hours of the

and there Is not an extenuating word
that deserves to be spoken in behalf of

on your advico to voto for saloons.
what have you to Bay to the advice of
John Mitchell, vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
sayg:
"I have no sympathy with the state
moat, bo often made, that the manufac
ture and sale of liquor has contributed
to the industrial development of the
nation. On the contrary, I believe that
liquor has contributed more to the
moral, intellectual and material dete
rioration of the people and has brought
more misery to defenseless women and
children than has any other agency in
the history of mankind."

Mr. James McEvoy, if you would
have us take your advice and vote for
saloons, please answer this from Tom
Lewis, presidont Sl the United Mine
workers. 1
"Because the liquor traffic tends to
enslave the people, to make them satis
fied with improper conditions and
keeps them ignorant, the leaders of the
trades union movement are called on
to fight the saloons. "
Mr. Ed. Eostein, you ask us to vote
for saloons in Salem, but what have
you to say to the words of P. M. Ar
thur, former president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, who
says:
"Every friend of the workingman
will vote against the saloon every time
he gets a chance, and to close it up,
not only on Sunday, but upon every

Mr. F. A. Spencer, you advise us to

of Virginia, who says:
"Tho records of our ponitentiary

If I am to judge from tho applications
for pardon I am constantly receiving,
from (0 to 03 per cent of tho crimes
for which convicts are confined wore

from Governor Leo Cruco, of Oklaho
ma: "Tho people of Oklahoma are well

"I hate It for the human wrecks it
