AN OPEN LETTER

From Professor j. r. Looney, Principal
Fulton Public Schools, In Favor
OF Dfs. Darrin.
Editor Oregonian-Dear Sir: / am not
in the habit of pulling advertising doctors
but l cannot let this opportunity 1ass
without mention, in justice to the afflicted
as well as DR.. Darrin. The doctor has
cured me of troublesome catarrh and
bronchitis of seven years standing. by
electricity and medicine. The cure Is per-
feet anu permanent and l will answer all
lerters addressed to me at Portland.
J. p. L0ONEY.
There is something about the success
Drs. Darrin are meeting with which Is
truly hard to credit, vet we have it from
persons whose veracity We cannot doubt,
that their cures are remarkable. The
above case Is peculiarly striking Pro-
fessor Iooney Is man of undoubted in
tegrity and well known throughout the
state and nation. The above card about
Drs. Darrin is positive proof of the unex-

unexpected, are many of their cures and
how chronic diseases OF many years du-
ration are unable 10 resist their skill, and

doctors have undertaken, and is onIy one

restored TO heath. The author OF the
above statement we have full -surance in

same by no o her motive than gra itude
for his cure and desire 10 make known
the means TO Others as unfortunate as
himself. When we reflect what great
boon is beaith-when we consider that
without it the slightest approach 10 happi-
ness is imPossib.e-that il Is, in short the
greatest earthly biessng-can We be other
wise than UNNECESSARILY surprised to find
anyone who has lost this great treasure

path leading TO its recovery? To see a
sick man or woman neglect or refuse to

some good, and cannot do harm, is equally
an inexplicable mystery. Try them, at

EDITOR Kansas Fa,mer:-Please
allow me to extend to my many friends
through your columns my sincere
thanks for their appreciation of my
services. hoping they will not think I
was trying to shrink from duty in so
strenuously cobjecting to having my
name used before the Great Bend con-
vention. All is well that ends well.
1 will-explain: My view of the mat
ter was this that it needed age and
experience for the position. Besides,
having been your lecturer, it would
look as though 1 had used my position
to subse.ve personal interest, which is
done i'll too many cases. We now
have standard-bearer that can with
stand the attacks of the enemy, and
with his experience. backed up by his
unquestioned integrity and zeal for the
Peoples cause, look with pride upon
the choice'of the convention and esteem
it great honor to have the privilege
of helping to elect Jerry Simpson as our
next representative from the big Sew
enth. Hoping to find the brethren
standing shoulder to shoulder, l am
fraternally yours, S. M. SCOTT.

JERRY SIMPSON, the peoples con-
gressional candidate in this district,
spoke at the cCi.:t house Wednesday
evening. He was Gu his way home
from the convention that nominated
him, and while in town was prevailed
upon to address the people, that they
may become acquainted with him. He
was unprepared, so far as special pre-
parations go, yet he gave rousing
speech, touched upon the material and
important issues in a manner that con-
WINGED the most skeptical of the neces-
sity of reform in politics. He confined
his remarks specially to the important
planks, money, lands and means of
transportation. The necessity of a
change in the laws governing those
subjects was made absolutely clear, and
the Importance for the people to act IN
union and necessarily, was clearly
demonstrated. Mr.. Simpson deserves
the support of the people, for he is one
of them and abundantly qualified to
give satisfaction and do justice.-St

Mr.. Wanamaker on Poverty.

That was an eloquent address which
our gifted postmaster-generald delivered
before his class the other Sunday, and
couched in high moral tone, says the
New York Herald. He commended
his hearers, in the words of St. Luke,
to ''Trust in Our Heavenly Father,
and above all things not worry over
tie future. 1t was the evident intent
of God that the majority of mankind
should be poor; that where one man
should occupy a. large house twenty
must reside in small ones. The Lord
knew we were to be poor. He thought
it was better for us that this condition
should exist"
This thing of charging the Lord with
the present condition of the financial
affairs of this country is little thin,
to say the least. Better charge large
amount Of it to the laws that have
been enacted in favor of the manu-
facturer and capitalist.

A Century Gained.

The Santa Fe Route has reduced Its
time between Chicago, Kansas City
and San Francisco one day. 1t has
made the same reduction to important
Texas points. This is an aggregate
saving of one hundred years for each
SO, 500 passengers travelling between
those points, and adds that much to
the working force of the nation. The
Santa FEES fast California train leaving
Great Bend at 6:12 p. m. carries
through Pullman, Palace and Tourist
sleepers without charge arriving at San
Francisco 8:45 p. M. the Sd day after
departure, while the train leaving
Great Bend at 1925 a. M. connects at
Newton with the Texas flyer which
arrives at Galveston 11:4O p. m. next
day. The Santa Fe can save a century
because of easy grades over mountains
and well ballasted roadbed, rendering
fast running safe.

BRO. CARAWAY has been insisting
all along that it would not do for the
republicans of the 18th congressional
district to nominate anything but a
farmer" candidate. He told the
farmers how easy it would be for them
70 name a man of their own calling if
they stayed in the republican party and
help to elect delegates to the congress
sional conventions: and now, behold
the result! The hosts gathered, the
from near and far, and the convention
went into maternal labOrs. But the

would be selected as the republican
candidate we felt like exclaiming

CARAVANS policy, as he expresses it

The Great Bend REGISTER poured hot
shot into the allia nee in last weeks
issue. He advises farmers to give up
the alliance and go with the republican
party. We have sometimes thought
that Caraway had little friendship for
the farmer left in his bosom, but this
last advice settles all doubts. He is an
open enemy to the farmers, and we
hope his talk will not be needed by
them. The advice is superfluous. The
average farmer has enough intelligence
to see for himself which way to turn
when he gets ready to leave the ALI
ance and that is the party which has
always espoused the principle which
the alliance endorses. That is the
democratic party.-Ellinwood Aduo:
