Kidney Disease Kills
Its Victims Numbered by the Hun
dreds of Thousands

Kidney diseases should be attended to
at once, for almost 80 per cent of our
unexpected deaths of today are from
that cause. DR.. David Kennedy's Ia
vorite Remedy is the only sure cure
known for diseases of the kidneys, liv-
er, bladder and blood, rheumatism,
dyspepsia and chronic constipation. 1t
is marvellous how it stops that pain IN
the back, relieves necessity of urinat-
ing so often at night, drives away that
scalding pain in passing water, corrects
the bad effects of whisky and beer and
shows its beneficial effects on the sys-
TEN in an incredibly short time.

A PEsslMlsTIc VIEW.

The Pioneer Press takes a pessimistic
view of the future relations of labor
and capital Commenting upon the re-
cent assertion of Senator Hanna to the
effect that labor and capital are APP
proacning each other in friendly spi2-
it, the Press can not see just where and
in what the evidences o. this friendly
spirit are shown and takes issue against
his claim. 1t thinks there is not much
of it in the uncoanpromising attitude OF
the anthracite coal miners in their
strike for nobody knows; what and in
the equally uncompromising attitude OF
their employers. or in the strike OF the
teainsters for the Chicago packers,
which has widened in its sympathetic
affiliations until it embraces the entire
body of teamsters in Chicago, so that
the entire meat supply of hotels, res
taurants and private families is cut Off
"There are strikes here and there all
over the country, every one of which
is marked by a mutually hostile spirit,
and afford no indications that labor
and capital are approaching each other
in a friendly spirit. 1t is deplorable
that the general prosperity should be
Interrupted and its continuance threat
ened by these repeated and constantly
extending wars between labor and cap
ital. But the existing conditions, SO
far from justifying the optimism of
Mark Hanna, would seem rather to
portend that we are on the eve, not of
a pacific adjustment of the relations of
labor and capital on the basis of an
equitable regard for the interests of
both, but of a struggle for mastery, up
on the issue of which will depend the
Industrial destiny of America"
The Pioneer Press is looking on the
dark side of the picture. There have
been many instances of later years
where strikes have been avoided thru
mutual concessions from employers
and employed. The sympathetic strike
is no longer looked upon as necessary
concomitant of labor difficulties. The
sentiment is growing in labor arganiza-
tons against the breach of contract
which strikes involve. The Pioneer
Press view is unnecessarily pessimistic.

There is hope yet. We are not all of
us in the hands of the beef trust. At
least the citizens of Garwin can still
eat meat. The two local butcher shops
there are having little war of their
own. All cuts of beef and pork are
sold at 10 cents per pound, first come
first served. The rival marketmen adj
init there is nothing in it," but at the
latest advices there are no signs of
beef trust in Garwin.
1t works different in other places. In
one town q dealer commenced handling
Chicago dressed beef selling from is
cents per pound for the best cuts, down
to 10 cents. The other the old butcher,
who buys all the fat cows he. wants for
to 31a cents on foot and butchers them
himself, promptly raised his prices to
is cents for loin steak. and claims he is
selling the best beef, and that the other
fellow is shipping in "canners," /. 6. old
COWS and bull beef. Meanwhile in all
these country towns. after the hotel
cook gets hold of it, an expert can not
tell what kind of beef is served at the
hotel table.

And the foregoing suggests another
musical item. There is in Iowa a col
lege professor who has a weakness or
talent (which?) for playing a bagpipe.
Proudly he tells of going to Chicago on
the occasion of some doings of the
ScCtsmen. In the street was an artist
with the pipes, playing for dear life
(and money!. our Iowa man stepped
UP and asked the professor ito hand
him the pipes" And then came the
modest account of the professors per-
Torrance. People blocked the streets.
The owner of the bagplpe metaphors
cally fell down and worshiped him. The
officer of the day in charge of the par
ade came ND and offered him $50 TIC
play, refused with thanks, did not MAY
for money. ali this and more in the
same line was told US. And yet this
bagpipe professor has sense of the
humorous. Once, according to his own
account. he walked up to a house play
ing the pipes as he advanced only to
be ordered ito put that thing in the
barn before he came in

NO CLOUD ON HE HORIZON.

Small grain prospects are all that could

and the indications are that this condi-
ton is to continue. With the exception
CT the eastern labor difficulties there is
no noticeable cloud above the horizon
CO national prosperity. The great crops
which now seem we'll assured will tend
to cheaper the prices on food products
to the consumer, while the quantity he
will have to sell will keep the balance
steady to the producer. After the 3oth

ers. The entire situation is such as to
inspire the country with confidence.
Business men feel assured at the OUT
look Nineteen is as full OF
promise as it is of present prosperity.
The good times show no diminution or
prospect of disaster.
Just where the opposition is to find
its material for the coming campaign
for control of congress is hard to dis
cover. Every attempt made by it's lead
ers to discredit the administration be-
fore the country has lamentably re-
coiled upon it's own head. The Christ
mas fake with its contemporary blum
ders, the savage attack upon the army,
instead of shaking the confidence
of the people of the United States in the
integrity of the administration have
strengthened their faith in the repub-
lean party and their suspicion and dis
trust of the minority.
There is but one issue to be consist
emily raised by the democracy-the old
question of tariff for protection or for
revenue only, and that issue will not
avail. Whatever reasons may be given
for the prevalence oe prosperous times
i. is fact most significant to the peo-
pie who are most vitality interested IN
good tines that these desirable con-
Gitions prevail under republican rule
end reach their greatest decadenceI
when the country is in the hands of the
democratic party. The farmer or la
borer is not given greatly to discussion
of abstruse economics, but he is a CAPT
tai observer To use q honlely meta
rbor, he KNOWS on which side his
bread is buttered,' and he will never
permit the democracy to tinker with his
present prosperity. Tariff reform,
wherein necessary, is in the air, but the
country will demand that the revision
be made by the friends of the system
and not by its avowed enemies and free
traders.
There are two calamities to be dread
ed by the farmers, business men and
wage earners. One is, democratic con-
troll of congress; the other. which fol-
lows logically after the first, is a wide
spread industrial depression. That no
prospect of either calamity exists is
matter for congratulation.

A RaBBrS INNOVATION.

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, prominent in
leading rabbis of the Hebrew faith. has
astounded his congregation al the Tenn
pie Israel in Chicago and stirred the
Israelitic press to comment by the an
nouncement that hereafter he will de-
liver no funeral sermons. The extent OF
the funeral exercises 10 be conducted
by himself will consis. simply of the
reading or the Jewish burial ritual at
the house Of mourning. Commenting
upon this action of DR.. ,airsch. the Jew
ish Voice, while not thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the rabbits radical views,
"can not help conceding to him a
measure of approval" The Jewish
American says: THE funeral sermon
has become a bugbear to the minister.
Not only is he compelled frequently to
look for virtues with microscope be-
fore delivering a eulotgy over a de-
ceased member, but 1t does happen
sometimes that thru the representa-
lions of c,ver-zealous friends and rela-
tivse of the dead he is led to say things
which he believes to be true, but which
are in fact the very reverse of true"
Rabbi Hirsch's determination is
largely III lire with the sentiment of
the ministry, not only Of his own faith,
but of Christian churches, as we'll.
gy and laity against tie funeral euiogy
which the preacher is apparently ex-
rected to express over the dead Of
every class or condition. The palpable
insincerity of laudatory Grafton by a
minister over the body of one of whom
he has no personal knowledge, and who
he has perhaps never seen, is self con-
demnatol'y Of the practice.
With the advent of The trained and
educated preacher there arrived a
marked improvement in the methods of
conducting funerals. The funeral SER
cult riders was an entirely different af-
fair from the quieter service of the
present. The old-fas hioned preacher
set himself to work upon the sympa-
thies and fears of his hearers. He used
his opportunity to wave the danger sig
nal of a flaming hell that yawned be-
fore the feet of the unregenerate,
pressed home his adnlonition and en-
phaszed the uncertainty of human life
by the Illustration of it's mutability
which lay before him. He adj
dressed himself directly to the
'.mourners,' wept with them Over,
their loss and stirred their sorrow and
the sympathies of the congregation un-
til the church became veritable house
of weeping. To leave not dry eye in
the house" was the touchstone which
tested the power and efficacy of the old
time funeral sermon. 1t aroused a de-
mand for the oratorical services of the
preacher
Nothing of this remains. Burials to-
day are conducted with quietude and
decorunl. Possibly Rabbi Hirsch's rad
ical course suggest u wise and desir-
able innovation which might be accept
ed with propriety and advantage. There
is still too much of parade, too much
beating of drums ana waving of ban
ners in public funerals. Perhaps pri-
