Brother Miles Mulroy IS a great
Democrat-whc there Is some
thing wanted], When the Pops
were in power he was a great Pop
and got to the pie counter.
When the democrats won the
Big 4 Offices he sported rooster
and yelled for democracy. But
when his paper changed name IN
stead of naming 1t the Democrat,
giving his party a standard and
honoring its name, it swings a non
partizan name, so as to stand pat
with the next Pop state admins
tration and the Topeka journal
announces-Another Pop paper.
Now he's a red hot democrat,
he and his friends are demanding
that the democratic commissioners
give him the county printing as his
party due. Yet during the cam
paIgn he never mentioned the de-
mo pop candidate, Gerken, but
aided republican candidate john
son (who has already tried to sell
chairman Judd out) And dur
ing the campaign while the Repub
lIcan papers where charging the
Commissioners with corruption in
the railroad tax matter, with be-
ing rotten on the tomb stone mat
ter, and other crookedness, NOT
a line OF defense did be write of
them. But now he begs their
favors. Did he earn it. Do you
ever see Democratic doctrine IN
his paper?
1t is no secret that the Repubs
want to punish the Free Press for
its fight for Co. clerk Jake Kissing
and for ITS defense OF the coanty
commissioners from the lying as
sauits of the Republican papers,
but the democratic Beard IS not
likely to do what the repubs are
wanting, while the taxpayers are
satisfied with the low price that the
Free Press has given them for the
past two years.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decsp-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
h-heart disease, pneumonia. heart failure
or apopiexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
