"TO" OR "FOR"
What with his acceptance of the British view regarding
Panama-canal tolls and his rejection of the plea of the
equal-suffrage advocates, President Wilson is getting a lot
of newspaper space these days. He must be, in spite of his
suavity, more or less embarrassed by the necessity for shift
ing his position so frequently. In the one instance he
does what he does because the democratic platform did that
way; in the other instance he does what he does in spite of
the fact that the democratic platform didn't do it that way.
To everybody is given the right to change his mind and
President Wilson will not be denied the right to change his
mind in the matter of canal tolls, though he goes directly
against the declaration of his party platform and repudiates
entirely his own campaign utterances in the matter of
charging tolls to our coast-going ships. But if he changes
his mind in this respect, he should be willing to change his
mind in another respect. However, he hedges behind the
democratic platform and gives no other reason than that
platform, for his refusal to approve the consideration of the
equal-suffrage petition.
There are some interesting sidelights developing, as we
get the detailed news from the east, regarding the suffrage
situation. Mr. Wilson is in a predicament, surely, in this
matter. Here, for instance, is a story which the New York
Tribune tells:
T'o the humble, tongue-ti'd public that may only sit in admiring
sil.r ne while thie w\ rds roll olut will be pardoned a sad smile or even a
gHay chuckle at the way our fluent president \\ent down to conversa
tional defeat before the tnngiue of Mrs. Glendower Evans of the Massa
llhusetts Trades Women's league.
~tomething may he explained by conceding that Mr. Wilson was de
i nding an untenable position. But not much. For the ready talker the
werds fall freest when lhe fight is hardest. And an urbane flow of
ir1 a rrifl s tnti marked Mr. W.ilsi,il's approlach to cvery combat of his
(caroer. trifling or severe.
"I mist speak for the party," proclaims the president. "Why not
Spe;ik to it?" slips in Mrs. Glendower Evans. The only explanation of
liis ulter riout of a great presidential vocabulary is the old rule ex
alting a wroman's last word. Appalently it is a rule which neither
trappings nor power nor a, college education can abrogate.
On other topics of importance, the president has not hesi
tated to talk "to" his party; he has spoken emphatically,
whether the subject was mentioned in the democratic plat
form or not. And congress has listened attentively.
These facts are a matter of record.
So it becomes a question which the suffragists and the
public cannot solve. If the president will speak to his
party in one affair, why he should not be willing to speak
in the same way in another, without retreating behind his
party platform, is a peculiarity of the situation which is not
easily explained.
Mrs. Evans, who brought up the question of the preposi
tion, had a proper conception of the case. She thought
that "to" would make things all right. She and her asso
ciates did not asked the president to use "for." They be
lieved the other and shorter connective would do the
work better.
But the president didn't see it that way.

RANCH HOME BURNS
WHILE FAMILY
IS GONE
HOUSE OF WILLIAM SMITH IS
TOTALLY DESTROYED
BY FIRE.
C orvalli~' Feb. 17.-(Special.)-While
William Smith, who owns a ranch near
this town, was In Hamilton with his
family, the Srmith home was destroyed
by fire today. The building is a total
loss, despite heroic efforts on the part
of neighbors to quench the flames.
A fire had been left in a stove in the
house when the Smith family left for
Hamilton, and this blaze, aided by a
defective flue, destroyed the house.
The flames were first disc.overed early
in the afternoon. Neighbors rushed to
the scene and tried to stop the fire, but
it had gained such head\ ay that their
efforts were useless. So fierce was the
blaze when the volunteer firemen ar
rived that a steel range is the only
thing saved. All other furniture was
hurned. The fire lasted for two hours.
No inlstlrance was carried by Mr.
Smnith.
LADIES! LOOK YOUNG,
DARKEN GRAY HAIR y
Use the Old-Time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
Will Know, .
Gray hair, however handsome, de- a
notes advancing age. We all know 11
the advantages of a youthful appear- p
ance. Your hair is your charm. It t
makes or mars the face. When it n
fades, turns gray and looks dry, v
wispy and scraggly, just a few ap- h
plications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred- tl
fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! nt
Either prepare the tonic at home or r
get a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's b
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." fi
Thousands of folks recommend this f+
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully and re- s
moves dandruff, stops scalp itching e
and falling hair; besides, no one can v
possibly tell, as it darknes so natur- c
ally and evenly. You moisten a p
sponge or soft brush with it, draw- p
ing this through the hair, taktng Ii
one small strand at a time. By morn- c
ing the gray hair disappears; after h
another application or two, its nat- n
ural color is restored and it becomes p
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you c
appear years younger. - Missoula

TO THE NATION r
(Youth's Companion.)
"Mount Vernon is the greatest tnrng
n this country," said a man who had
ist returned from a visit to Wash
ngton. and the home of our first
president.
He is a person who has traveled
loth here and abroad, and who all his
life has been accustomed to wealth,
beauty and comfort. In his native
-ity he can see every day a dozen
'esidences that cost more than W\ash
igton's simple house, and that oc
:upy more ostentatious grounds; but
in none of thenl can he or any other
person find the Iuality that impressed
him in Mount Vernon.
Nearly every visitor to the home or
our first president is affected in the
same way. It is nt the extent of the
place, for it measures only two hun
dred acres, nor is it the size and ele
gance of the houllse, or the character
of the furniture iwithi it; rather is
it an atmosphere of dignity, of calm,
of restfulness-the iasence of osten
tation. Here lived one of the great
historic figures of all time, and be
cause he was great--because he had
personality-he impressed himself on
the house in which hI. lived, and on
the grounds in which it stands. It Is
Washington himself th at we feel at
Mount Vernon.
To one who, in this day, strolls
through the well-k'lopt buildings, and
looks cross the green lawns to that
heatttiful vista leyond, the Potomac, it
seems incredible that the noble place
shtouhl ever have n ii hawked about
the cotuntry, in tlhe \lili effort to find
a purchaser; that congress should
have refused to buy ii: that it came,
indeed, perilously ln :r to falling into
the hands of a m;la who wished to
make "ai fashioiahtl I,,','r garden" of
it. To the patriolti women of the
country, atd sl ,ecilly to a patriotic
women ofi the soUtll, n+' are indebted
ats It nation, for this nitional shrine.
It is nIever pIssiblt' t gauge the in
flulence of sullch t iin nment. Those
who feel lmost de.Tlit ;ire usually the
least ready with wolrd., to express their
feelings, and manr :,,. , <,nscious of no
Impression except tlha of mild inter
est in a historic sr'il itl. There is,
nevertheless, a const;l;t elevating in
fluenlce in every aIt'r of the sacred
soil of Mount \'.rnm,. and in every
other place that lhhls up to an osten
tatiouts age a pisct ee of the simple
dignity that our forci;,thers knew so
well, and that we fuii it so difficult
to attain.
RUNNING A BILL
(Youth's I 'ompanion.)
It seems economical, but really it is
not. You feel that because you are
not parting with cash at the moment,
yotu are temporarily saving money;
and you are usually sure that when
the hill comes in. you will be better
off financially than you are at the
moment. Of colurse this ide'a is de
Ilusive; You find on tile first of the
next month that thl bills are larget
#lxjr Years
the Sandard
D.PRIC E'
BAKING POWDER
Its use a protection and a
guarantee against alum
and the accumulated fund less than
you had expected.
Running a iiill is subtly denioraliz
ing. When you open a new account,
you are scrupulous to pay the hill very
soon after it is rendered; you wish to
impress your creditor with the fac
that you are an uncommonly desirable
patron. After awhile you feel that he
has learned this fact, and you ret him
wait for his check while you impress
' new set of creditors with your punc
tuality and solvency. So you keep
putting off and putting off the credi
tors who are "old friends," until fi
nally it becomes a scramble to pre
ent their sending in an account
headed by that discouraging item,
Bill rendered." When you 'sink into
.he "hill rendered" class, you have en
tered the second stage of indebted
ress. The third is marked by the
receipt of dunning letters, the fourth
3y personal visits from collectors, the
fifth by menacing communications
from lawyers.
It is difficult for men and women
who have the habit of "charging"
verything to put aside money for in
vestment. They have adopted a
costly way of living. The ability to
purchase what you will, although your
pockets are empty jis an expensive
luxury. The shops that permit
rharge accounts are shops that ask
high prices; a charge account usually
means that You pay. from five to ten
per cent more for a thing than its
cash value.
If you adopt the pay-as-you-go
principle, you will considerably re
duce your own high cost of living.
