Many people are asking this question today, and all sorts of answers are in theiair. But to be serious a fair estimate should be ' ; j. A population qf 50,000, a payroll at least eight times the present one; hotels that will be a pride to the city; business blocks without a duplicate in the state;a business district that will move south on University avenue to the depots; two new parks for the benefit of the citizens, and a citizenship that will be the pride of everyone.

A few prices for Saturday are have come under our control. Americans were never slow to criticize the great nations of the world for their stewardship of the affairs of subject peoples. We were the first to call King Leopolds attention sharply to conditions in the Belgian Congo. We spoke to the Russia of the czar about conditions in Poland. We went to war with Spain when we considered her treatment of the Cubans was unjust. We have never been slow to criticize the British empires handling of affairs in Egypt, in Ireland or in India. as follows: Recently, however, our extended domains have bubbled with discontent. In Haiti and the Dominican republic, the rule of the marines and the customs collectors from Wall Street has not ! been entirely satisfactory to the inhabitants.

The island is the ward of the United States, not quite a state and not quite a subject-lanThe question whether Porto Rico goes further into debt is not alone hers to decide. The influence of the United States will be controlling. Governor Horace M.

Porto Rico, by making a twenty or thirty year loan, will' be mortgaging the land of a future generation. Some of the things she builds or buys with the proceeds of such a loan, will be obsolete long before they are paid for. It would be better to proceed a little more cautiously in the determination of just what are necessities, and to skimp a little more so that such necessitis may be paid for out of present revenues, rather than a future generation should be bound to a mill of this generations creation. !

Anonymous communications are like poison letters, they seek to tear down and ruin under the guise of innuendo. No one is immune from their shafts which fly at random striking and wounding at will. The anonymous communication is an old enemy in the average newspaper office. They come with every mail, but they never see the light of day, unless there is attached to them some means of identification. Those who refuse to place their names under a communication, especially when they seek to criticize or attack, fail to show the true American spirit of sportsmanship and only belittle themselves in the minds of their fellowmen. If a thing is worth saying it is worth standing by. The truth never hurt anyone. But the anonymous letter, the anonymous statement, the anonymous dommunication is an enemy to society, a instrument that proves on its face those respopsible fordangerous its issuance do not even have the courage of their own convictions.

Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it ffades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a ' hundredfold. 1 Dont bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this fa- mous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready jfor use. It is called Wyethii Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and - i lustre of your hair. Everybody uses Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous If you dodge responsibility, responsibility will dodge you. i |
