OFFICE HUNTERS ARE GIVEN A JOLT BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Pie-Hungry Democrats Are Not expected to Call at the White House Unless Invit- ' ed to. (Continued from Page One.) for the first time this morning, he found that despite the fact that he was an early riser, half a hundred hungry Democrats had risen earlier hoping to catch the worm which is said to be the position of the early bird. The "worm" this time, however, was "pie" or "pork" synonymous, in Washington political parlance for patronage or government posts. An absence of Democratic rule for the past decade and a half has made a decided scarcity of Democrats in the government service and those who worked to place President Wilson where he is today desire to remedy this condition as speedily as possible. In every department of the government there are a hundred or more posts which custom has decreed may be filled by the victors to whom the ppoils belong, while the diplomatic, consular and postal services contain hundreds of places which Democratic politicians are craving for their con etituents or for themselves. The more important of the diplomatic posts and the assistant secretaryships will doubtless be apportioned with but little trouble by the new president. It is the smaller places which are likely to cause him worry because there are so many Democratic senators and congressmen who are demanding the early worms that there will hardly be enough to go around even if the president over-rides the civil service regulations which he has intimated he will not do.

Cronin of the St. Mary's church gave an address to the students of the high school this morning in which he stated that in his fifteen years of experience in the priesthood be has never heard so much profanity as is heard in Richmond. Rev. Cronin gave an interesting talk. The use of profanity was condemned by the father. Tho Harmony of Color. The principle that the sensation of white results from the equal excitement of sensations produced by the three fundamental radiations Is deduced naturally from an analysis of the rules of the harmony of colors. Colored lights do not focus at the same polut. Therefore the eye must seize different distances at the same time in order to see when different colored surfaces touch. The . difference of refrangibility of the different colored rays causes some colors to stand out and others to stand back. Red Is the most "flying" or "tapering" of the colois, a red object always appearing to be farther away than a blue object, though it Is seen on the same plane and in the same light Harper's. STAGNATION. No stagnant life is a wholesome life any more than a stagnant pool is a good neighbor. There must be stir and action to keep things pure and well aired. There must . be motion.

A DEGENERATE
Was the Treatment Accorded the Suffrage Parade by a Certain Element of the National Capital. A Disgusting Exhibition Made by Vulgarians.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The great suffrage parade in Washington was a success. Despite the hoodlums. It was, in fact, one of the greatest stunts the women have pulled off in any clime. Or in any place. ! And was an indication of the strength the suffrage movement has over the country. That the women should have been subjected to annoyances and insults from those denominated as "hoodlums" is a disgrace to the national capital and to the country. They were engaged in a peaceable demonstration. And one of great social significance. Also a pageant of much beauty and impressiveness. That they should have had to endure the treatment they received at the hands of a certain element of the population is an outrage. In this parade were included repreresentatives of almost every feminine activity. And of the exponents of the arts. Famous actresses, novelists, poets and artists were included, as well as the celebrated heads of the suffrage movement and feminine publicists in general. It was symbolical of the advance of woman and her status in the life of the day and should have been accorded a respectful viewing. It was given this by the majority of the sightseers. But there is always an element that asserts itself on such occasions. And it asserted itself Monday. It should have been at once checked by the capital police. But they were either unable or unwilling to handle the situation. It was one of those outbursts of vulgarity which is characteristic of a certain type of the male animal. In its various phases and out-crop-pings it is a thing every woman has to endure at one time and another. It is this attitude which is assumed by the "masher." By the curb-stone connoisseur of feminine charms. By the side-walk chorus. And the street corner gallery. No woman escapes it. In certain Latin-American countries women cannot appear on the streets unattended. She must be accompanied either by a duenna or a masculine escort. It is the thing that causes a woman to be the mark of unpleasant remarks if seen walking alone, or in twos or threes in the country. It is, in short, one of the slimiest manifestations of human nature and the enlightenment of a people is marked in the degree of its presence or absence. In no country in the world are women so free of this as in the United States. And still, at the first great national demonstration of her political aspirations, the worst national outbreak of its sort on record occurs. It is a purely animal expression and should be so regarded. It is the protest of the male over a demonstration of the intellectual and mental superiority on the part of the opposite sex. It is, in short, a wail over the threatened loss of the social strangle hold. While the militant tactics of the English suffragists meet with little sympathy in this country, the animus that projects their activities is not altogether without reason. Sometimes only the retort discourteous is efficacious. A class, like a person, must sometimes be met on its own ground. There are individuals so discourtleous, so impudent, so lacking in any decent sense of breeding that they can 'v be met on the plane in which they . .vrate. Courtesy, consideration, disdain is lost on them. The only way to do is to hit them back as hard as they give. In this way only are they made to understand that the depredations of their impudence and insolence will no longer be tolerated. And it is only in this way that women can command decent consideration in a matter of this sort. Take men. In their demonstrations of power and strength, of whatever nature, are they insulted by masses of women standing on the curb? Are individuals picked out for special targets? Are persons singled out for epithet and innuendo? Let the women, some time when the men are making a public demonstration of their political prowess or desire, line the streets and hurl insults and low anathema at the unoffending men in the line. Fancy this if you can! Imagine the injured howl! The indignant protest! The grievous expostulation! Suppose, on festive occasions, or a fine afternoon when everybody was out, the women lined the curbs, held down the corners, occupied the places of vantage around the cigar-stores and in front of the saloons, and, as each man came along turned singly and enmasse, eyed him over like buyers at a horse fair, audibly commented on his fine points or lack of them, laughed coarsely and loudly and flung the innuendo as he passed. What would happen? A dozen more or less battered women would be hauled up before the police bar next day. Police would be called on. Pronunciamentoes issued. Mass meetings and resolutions follow. The municipality would be petitioned and Congress memoralized. And yet the average woman has to "put up' with this sort of th'ng every time she walks down street. - The flower of the femininity of the
MANIFESTATION
country was represented in this suffrage pageant. And they ignored this as best they could. Being well bred and well born most of them managed to keep their tempers although with difficulty. One of the horsewomen having the parade in charge hit one insulter over the face with her whip. This .was the very best thing done in protest. A few more blood-drawing cracks in the face would have settled, no doubt, a number of these low-browed gentry. A man, whether a "hoodlum" or not, who engages in this sort of ignoble curb-stone warfare, is usually a coward in addition to being a vulgarian and a low cad. Get after him with a stick and "he'll run every time. It's the only plane he can be met on, the only weapon he dreads, the only indication he understands. A charge of the feminine cavalry on Monday would have been about the best thing that could have happened. The manly capital police could not cope with the rabble. Or wouldn't. Or didn't try. As stated before, it was a disgrace to the nation's capital and to the nation. That the women can have the vote any time they want it is amply refuted by these incidents. . As has been said here before, to make a statement of this character is to argue imbecility. Note the suffrage sentiment that was demonstrated to the state legislature on Monday. And what did the men do? Immediately thereafter defeated the amendment asked for. The women do want the franchise. The reason they don't have it is because the men won t give it to them. This is a simple situation. And easy to understand. Any other postulates are superfluous. That the women will succeed is admitted by the men. And that the time is just as long as the men can stave it off is conceded. In the interim the men might do good work by muzzling some of their degenerate confreres and putting 'em on the stone pile. NOTICE Having sold my on meat market at No. 31 South 5th street, will be pleas ed to have all outstanding bills owing this market paid to me and remittance mailed to No. 309 So. 4th street, where I have the books and accounts. Very Respectfully, 3-3t Geo. C. Schwegman. Ventilation. Have we ever stopped to think how our ancestors two or three generations back lived and flourished with little or no 'ventilatton in their sleeping apartments? The night air used to be considered a very dreadful menace to health and a sure Inducer of colds. Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and yet our ancestors, many of them, were hardier than we and lived to good old ages. Animals burrow In their holes at night, breathing the same air over and over again, while birds and fowls tuck their heads under their wings. Of course ventilation I absolutely necessary for proper comfort, cleanliness and health, but people have lived on little or none of It for hundreds and thousands of years. Exchange. A Giant Pepys Saw. Kins James L had a gigantic porter eight feet six inches in height, but he was not perfect, being, round shouldered, knockkneed and lame in one foot. Of a similar height was Charles Monster, a yeoman of the Hanoverian guard who died in 1676, and seven years before there was being exhibited in London a Dutchman eight feet nine Inches high anent whom In Pepys' diary we find the following entry on Aug. 15. 1669: "Went to Charing Cross to see the great Dutchman. I did walk nnder his arm with my hat on and could not reach his chin with the tips of my fingers." Happiness. If yon cannot be happy In one way. bo In another, and this facility of disposition wants but little aid from philosophy, for health and good humor are almost the whole affair. Many run about after felicity, like an absentminded man hunting for his hat while it is In his hand or on his head. A Safe Wager.

Look Years Younger! Gray Hair Darkened Beautifully With Sage
Says Sage and Sulphur Will Stop Falling Hair and Cure Dandruff Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, then left to age and carefully filtered will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggy and thin. ' Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus
50-HOURS-A-WEEK MEETS ITS DEATH Fleming Put Through Embalming Process-Grube Championed Measure.
OTHER BILLS KILLED Senator Krau to Regulate Sale by Druggists of "Oil of Comfort." (Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, March 5 The senate Tuesday put the legislative "kibosh" on two labor measures, passed the bill requiring road taxes in excess of $20 to be payable in cask, and made it extremely bothersome for druggists to sell "oil of comfort," otherwise known as whiskey on any day. The first labor measure to suffer absolute defeat was the Koenig-Dickin-son 50-hours-a-week for- women and girl workers, and it consumed the major portion of both forenoon and afternoon sessions. Senator Grube, with Representative Keegan at his elbow, championed the cause of the workers, while Senators Fleming and Wistler put through an embalming process that knows no resurrection. Senators Yarling, Strange, Shively, Gavit and Grube composed the batteries, the latter three favoring the bill, Yarling considered it too flexible and Strange thought it would interfere with established customs of trading and manufacture. Several times during the debate Lieut-governor O'Neill threatened to clear the galleries because of vociferous applause which greeted those who spoke in favor of the bill. Senator Grube called attention to the rapidly increasing vote of the socialists in Indiana and declared that the Democratic party understood that an 8-hour workaday for women was expected by the working people. After the bill had been defeated, 29 to 19, Senator Fleming moved to reconsider, and it was at this point that Senator Kistler grasped an opportu nity by moving to table Fleming's mo-1 tion. This was done, and the 50-hour-a-week-for-women proposition was doubly defeated, because it cannot again come up for consideration at this session. The gentlemen voting to kill the bill were Baker, Ballou, , Cleveland, Commons, Eisner, Engle, Fleming, Gelts, Gers, Greenwell, Haunk, Hunt, Cary Jackson, Jenkins, Kattman, Kitler, Kolsem, Netterville, Parks, Ratts, Stotsenburg, Strange, Sullivan, Trautman, Tray lor, White, Will Wood, George Wood and Yarling. Next came Rep. Weisman's shotfirers bill with a majority report favoring j indefinite postponement. Senators GavI it and Carleton signed a report favor- ' ing passage. A motion making it a special order for Wednesday was considered equal to death, but it carried, i Senator Krau's bill regulating the ! sale of "booze" by druggists was amended by Senator Stotesnburg in a j manner that made it practically a i brand new bill. The only senators J against it were VanNuys, Zearing, j Parks, Kolsem, Gers, and Faulknor. I This is the way it will work: A drugI gist or pharmacist, shall not sell intoxicating liquor to any one except on a written (not typewritten) prescription issued in good faith by a physician in good standing; no more than sixteen ounces Bhall be sold on such prescription; the prescription shall not be used more than once, must be placed 'on file and be open to inspection by the public. Also the druggist must be acquainted with the purchaser and keep the name of said purchaser on file. No such sale shall be made to a person known to be in the habit of becoming intoxicated, nor shall it be drank on the premises. $50 to $100 for first offense; $100 to $200 for second offense with thirty to sixty days imprisonment additional with the option of the court. Senator Kistler was again in action against the Biddle road tax bill which provides for payment in cash of roadtaxes in excess of $20. Kistler imagined he sighted a discrimination in. the bill. The vote was 31 for, and eight against. The bill is aimed at contractors who make immense profits in working out road taxes for railroads and other corporations. Those who wanted to kill the bill were Senators Commons, Fleming, Greenwell, Harmon, Jenkins, Trautman. Will Wood and George Wood. Other bills passed were: Cravens measure to provide power for the state to make temporary loans in emergencies, such an emergency existing at this time. Jackson's bill making it a felony to avoiding a lot of muss. Some druggists make their own, but it isnt nearly so nice as "Wyeth's" While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur no one can tell, because it does it so naturally; so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking, one small strand at a time. Do this tonight and by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, after another application or two it will be restored to its natural color and be even more glossy, soft and luxuriant than ever. Local druggists say they are selling lots of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" and it surely helps folks appear years younger. -

INDIANAPOLIS, March 5. Representative Keegan and his bill making Discovery day, October 12, a legal holiday, scored a victory in the House Tuesday afternoon. Representative Ly- j endecker made a speech against the ! bill but later changed his vote from no ! to yes after Rep. Keegan called attention to a circular placed on the desks of members yesterday which intimated that the bill was being pushed by the Knights of Columbus. Keegan asserted that the Knights of Columbus was not behind the bill, and he ought to know. The vote was 53 to 35. Senator Yarling's bill amending the truancy law was called up by Rep. Stahl and amended so as to leave the salaries of truancy officers at $2 per day and reducing the levy for truancy purposes from 10 to 5c a day. It requires that children between 14 and 16 6hall be either at work or at school. It got through by a safe majority, although Rep. Ault created a laugh by saying he wished truant officers would come down his way, get hold of some strapping 16-year-old kids and get a good licking, "which he deserves." Rep. Wolfe's bill amending the law creating a bureau of inspection passed, 51 to 41. Rep. Spencer succeeded in having Sen. VanNuys bill concerning the administration of estates, amended so that the administration of an estate cannot be taken from the county. Other bills passed by the house were : Empowering the state board of finance to negotiate temporary loans to tide the state over financial stringencies (Spencer.) Amending the dependent childrens law so as to increase the allowance to be paid counties for the support of dependent children to $2 per week (Reeves.) Permitting the adoption of persons over 21 years old (Ballou). Repuiring boards of county commissioners to pay printing bills in connection with gravel road proceedings out of the general fund instead of waiting for the bonds to be sold (Hauck). Giving township trustees power to enforce collection from non-resident property owners for construction of partition fences (Carroll). Amending 3-mile road law so as to permit connection with public institution grounds (Cravens). Making it unlawful to permit wild onions or garlic to grow on land (Curtis). The public hearing on the compensation bill scheduled for Tuesday evening proved a fluke. Chairman Fleming was the only member of the committee on deck. A number of manufacturers were on hand to be heard but Fleming couldn't see his way clear to shoulder all the responsibilities and declared the hearing off. Three bills on this subject are pending.
