ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many Leon
Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache. You must
cure the kidneys. A Leon resident
tells you how this can be done:
Miles Martindale, living In the south
part of Leon, says: Last winter came
home from days work and was taken
with chills and fever. Since then my
kidneys have bothered me. The secre-
lions from those organs contained a
sediment, were full of acid, scalded,
pains existed in the Ioins and kidneys
and during the day if stopped sharp
twinges were my reward and at night l
was unable to straighten II even sat
still in chair for short time. | tried
everything which came to my notice in
the shape Of medicine but | really
think was growing worse in place of
better. Finally deciding to try Doans
Kidney Pills / went to l.. P. Van Wer-
denis drug store for box. They gave
better results than any other medicine l
ever tried. They stopped the backache
and corrected the action of the kidney

Because Rev. Hatch, the blind preach
err, made short speech at the demo-
cratic mass convention, the reporter OF
the Record jumped at a conclusion and
gave vent to hiss injured republican
feelings by accusing him OF vile and I'M
gentlemanly conduct at Grand River.
The good people of Leon, which is the
home of Mr.. Hatch, resented the uninsti-
fable insult and SANDER and caused the
Record toa retract the article, which it
did in yesterdays issue, the first time,
we believe that paper has corrected a
misrepresentation under the present
management. Rev. Hatch is democrat,

vantage. But in some Of the provinces and in some Of the cities the women are in the majority, q rather unusual thing for q new country. A good many young women, it is thought. will not vote because unwilling to admit that they are T years old, while a consider able number of older women have op- posed woman suffrage.
 There is not much expectation of cp- posing views on the part of the two sexes, but a great nancy women in Australia work for a living, and there is some fear that they may differ with their brethren on the question of free trade or protection, it being assumed that the women will vote for free trade. But that is mere assumption, not borne cut by experience in Australia or in the United States. In Utah and Wyoming, Where the women vote, they are in favor of the protective tariff in about the same proportion as the men. But it is net often that family is divided on q question of this kind
 Ii Australia does not suffer in any way from woman suffrage it will be q gain for the advocate of that propa- ganda which will be much greater with tie growth and prosperity of the country. which may continue. and thus indirectly affect the suffrage eXperi- ment adversely.-Philadelp Press.

Another Giving Millionaire.

Tie announcement that Marshall Field is ready to give Chicago $10,0O0,- eco for the erection of the finest mu- scum in the world" as soon as the clear title to q strip of lake front property can be secured, shows that another multi-nillonaire has enter ed the ranks of the princely givers.
 \ few years gao the mere hint of gift of S10,C00.ooO would have start led the world out of it's equanimity. But today it is deemed nothing out of the ordinary. It is merely looked up- has subscribed to the theory that it is money during life than to leave it to be fought over after death-a theory that originated several thousand years be fore MT. Andrew Carnegie was born.
 No doubt Chicago will hasten to take advantage of MT. Fields offer the conditions being so slight The middle west is already richly equipped, as Field museum stands today but an additional fund of $1O,0O0,0 000 would re- suit in bettering conditions almost beyond rcalculation. Doubtless Mr Fields gift would include fund for original research in the west and southwest, something that is needed before the treasures of American an- tiquity are rendered Valueless through vandalism. The entire country west ot Chicago would profit greatly by MT Fields project, and it is to be hoped that Chicago will add the greatest museum to it's already large list of great" ssessions.-Dcnver Eepubi- Can

MT. RooseveIt's Breadth.

President Roosevelts actions have so often nroyed that he does not harbor the petty feelings which animate many other men that it has not surprised the country to learn of his determination to appoint Colonel Charles F. Hum phrey to be quartermaster general Of the army upon the retirement of Major General Ludington. In the days mme- diately following the landing of the American troops at Siboney, Cuba, Lieutent- Colonel Roosevelt had seri- ous differences with Colonel Humphrey over the question of supplies to the Rough Riders, Colonel Humphrey being the quartermaster officer in charge. As everybody knows, Roose- velt's first thought was the comfort and welfare of his men, and he went to unusual lengths, both in Florida and in Cuba, to provide them with the rations and medical supplies which he considered necessary. His application to Colonel Humphrey for certain sup plies at Siboney was refused, and Hum phrey told him to go to the devil" or words to that effect. But the Rough Riders were supplied, just the same.
 Colonel Humphrey. of course, was guided by the army regulations, and was doing his literal duty, while Lieu tent-Colorel Roosevelt was guided by his excellent stock of common sense and the knowledge that the moth eaten regulations and the cords of anti quated red tape had to be disregarded to some extent in order to deal with the situation in a practical way. There are not few big men in the world, however, who would be glad of such an now has to get even for a rebuf of the nature administered by Colonel Humphrey.
 As matter of fact, MT. Roosevelt s breadth distinguishes him remarkab ply from the common run of men, and the country has had numerous evidences of the fact. When he succeeded to the presidential chair. it was necessary frequently for him in carrying out President McKinley's plans and poli- cies, to honor men who did not appeal to the friendship of the new admins tration. Officials were appointed with out hesitation when MT. Roosevelt had every reason to know that such off, cials were not only unfriendly to him but had spoken most disrespectfully of him personally.
 The presidents aggressive policies undoubtedly will tend to build up d strong element of opposition to him, even within his own party: but all of his fellow citizens will concede that he is man, through and through.

.'The Arbetz Markt Correspondent a Saxon trade paper of much author ity, says that as type of the de- pressed industrial condition of Ger many the situation at Chemnitz, a noted center of machinery manufac ture, where 17,OOO men are ordinarily employed, may serve as an example. Of this large number only a small pro portion can now find work, and it is stated as q further evidence of de pression that Of those employed all but q few work only eight hours a day. In many esta blishments men are em- ployeG only as orders are received, and this uncertainty has caused the aver age earnings of operators who formerly received as much as is or 9 marks q week to fall as low as P marks, and even less. The journal says it is not alone the Saxon industries which are thus prostrated, but in the Rhine and Westphalia centers of production the same conditions prevail. Everywhere there are constant dismissais of work men and reduction Of the hours of work.

Our Constitution the rIode!.

The Outlook calls attention to the fact that the proposal to revise the French constitution is of interest to Americans, since the chief changes to be made will approximate the French system closely to our own.
 The framers of the American consti- tuition builded better than they knew. Their wisdom is emphasized with each year of our own history; the new Aus tralian constitution has been patterned now the republic of France, dissatis- fled with it's cvn model, proposes to adopt two vital features from ours.
 The first concerns the Judiciary. Up not been independent enough of parlia- ment; in future it is proposed to make the highest tribunal, the court of cas- sation, independent, indeed to endow it with authority to pass upon the con- stitutionality of all acts of parliament and, in it's discretion, to declare any Of them null and void. Thus the court of cessation will become the counter part of our supreme court
 The second great change concerns the executive. Hitherto the French president has been chosen by parlia- ment, and his cabinet has been com posed of members of parliament. It is now proposed that the president shall be chosen by the nation, and that he and his cabinet shall not necessarily be members of parliament.

CURRENT COMMENT
Texas Shows M ssouri.

In the Texas house on Abraham Lin coln's birthday the following was passed: Resolved, That when this house adjourns today it do so in honor of the memory of Abraham Lincoln, this being the ninety-fourth annivers- ary of the birth of that unique man of American history, whom all nations call statesman, hero and martyr" This
 just and well expressed resolution was
 passed without dissenting vote, and
 the Texas house adjourned accord
 ngly at the noon hour. Last Wednes-
 day q resolution was introduced in the
 Missouri house to adjourn over the
 following day in honor of Lincoln's
 birthday. It was voted down. One democratic member, in SatriCal
 spirit, moved that the resolution be re- ferred' to the committee on federal re- lationS, but the democratic ma ajOTity
 contented itself by putting tine motion to death without rubbing it in. If dozen democrats had reinforced the re- publican vote the resolution would have carried. but of the more than eighty democrats in the house, none would do it reverence.
 The character of Abraham Lincoln has grown upon his countrymen every
 where in the United States except among certain class of Missouri dem ocrats, which, unfortunately for the
 good name of the state, compose the majority of the present legislature. They cannot forgive Lincoln for hay ing been a republican, even though he was of southern birth and descent.
 Men of every cline and civilized race on earth, except these Missouri demo- crats. render homage to Lincoln for qualities that lifted him above all mar
 TOW lines and ccnSidera tionS. He loved his fellow men, with charity for all and malice toward none. He was
 man of mercy, though Of supreme action. He vas the soul of simple truth. Intellectually, as human wis dom, perception and noble impulses go,
 he was the giant of his time. lie fell at the post of duty. History every where, except in one locality, gives him
 a towering place as a leader and bene- factor of the human race. That eXcep-
 ton is found in the records of the pres
 ent Missouri legislature, coupled with
 an attempted smartness in sarcasn.-

Fennsylvania's Blue Laws.

The attendance Of more than 1.G01 clergymen and religious workers at the hearing yesterday at Harrisburg on the BeTkelbach bill repeating the an cient Sunday laws Of the common wealth shows how strong is the senti- nlent against any change in the legis- lation affecting Sabbath observance. And yet the so-caled blue laws are dead letter as to many Of their pro- visions. especially in the cities. and are consistently ignored by the community at large and by the police and judicial authorities.
 This open defiance of law would be utterly demoralizing under ordinary circumstances, if it were rot held by the masses of the people that it's strict enforcement would hc as unWise and unjust as it is practically impossible under existing social conditions. For the sake of appearances. if for TO more substantial reason, the statutes of the commonwealth should be modified to meet the customs and spirit of the age in which We live, and such a modifica- ton is an entirely different thing from an out-and-out repeal of all Sunday legislation.
 It IS not necessary to resort tO argu- ncnts based on religious principles in support of q legal observance of one day in the week as day of rest from the ordinary pursuits of fife. It is strenuous and eXhaustinE enough un- der modern conditions, without throw 1 Ing down all the barriers. and -a abolish- inS all the legal distinctions between sunday and the other days of the week
 The physical and intellectual as well as the moral, health of the community demands that one day in seven shall be insured to every man and woman as q day O. rest. The requirements of present social conditions have already deprived a multitude of workers of the chance to enjoy that surcease of toll at the same time that it is made pos
 sibie for the majority of their fellows;
