That the Roosevelt-Oden machine in
New York city is a tough proposition
is apparent from the evidence given

and as county committeeman and the

boy was present in the sitting room,
and at intervals for a good part OF the
evening he interrupted his dad by ask
ing embarrassing questions.
Finally the old fellow became tired
of his sons many queries.
I'm see that your mother puts you
to bed before get home In future, he
sternly informed the boy,
But pop. retaliated the child, with
natural overflow Of philosophy that
was delicious. how can you see her

Mr.. B.. L. Skrivseth Of this place
has been added to the steadily grow.
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have in this part Of the country.
Mr.. Skrivseth gives two reasons
for his faith in the Great American
Kidney Cure. The FIRST is that they
cured his wife and the second is that
they cured himself.
IL must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth.
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble l
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis
ease for years and she tried all kinds
Of medicine from doctors but It did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her SO much
that she took eight boxes more and
now she is cured.
IT also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger in every way"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease
from Backache to rheumatism, Dia-
betes or Bright's Disease.

The sweeping moss Of the southern

Administrative Acts Defended In Let.
ter Accepting Nomination.
President Roosevelt September IL
issued his letter accepting the nomi-
nation for the Presidency rendered
him by the Republican National Con
ventlon. In the lengthy document
sent out he says: 81 accept the
nomination for the presidency ten
dered me by the Republican National
Convention. and cordially approve the
platform adopted by It,
THE principles which we profess
are those In which we believe with
heart and soul and strength. Men may
differ from us, but they cannot &C
cuse us of stiffness or insincerity.
The policies we have pursued are
those which we earnestly hold as
essential to the national welfare and
repute. Our actions speak even loud
er than our words for the faith that
is in us. We base our appeal upon
what we have done and are doing,
upon our record of administration
and legislation during the last seven
years, in which we have had complete
control Of the government, We in.
tend in the future to carry on the
government in the same way that we
have carried 1t on in the past"
The acts Of the administration in
connection with the war with Spain,
the Isthmian canal and the unfolding
of the Monroe doctrine the President
defends at length, and declares the
party is prepared fully to accept the
issue on these questions.
Much space is taken up in praise Of
the institution of the suit against the
Northern Securities Company-the
merger suit-and the action of the
President in the settlement Of the an.
thraclte coal strike.
The President claims the Demo
cratic party is still divided on the
question of silver and that the Re
publican party has been consistent on
the question throughout.
Interests Of both capital and labor,
1t is asserted, have been safeguarded
by the actions Of the administration,
and the claim is made that the civil
service law is now enforced as never
before.
OF the tariff the President says the
question of revision must be left to
the party now in power, though he
admits there may be a necessity for
the revision of some schedules, D
which he claims should be done by
the friends of the policy of protection
The trusts, he claims, are bound up in
the prosperity of the country, anu
must not be injured by changes in
tariff schedules.
In a mild manner the document
commends the wisdom of the shiI
subsidy scheme, without actual men
ton Of the plan.
The status of the Filipinos, the
President declares, is now of the best
and the idea of the withdrawal of the
Americans from the islands IL
secuted.
In conclusion, the policy Of the Re
publican party on national question!
is declared to be the only safe pro
cedure, and the President, for thu
party, declares his willingness t
leave the verdict to the judgment o
the American people.

RELEASE HARBOUR
ON $4,000 BOND
Declares He Will Aid Special Grand
Jury in investigation.

st. Joseph, Mo-: II. Harroun, the
St Joseph grain man, returned from
Chicago at o'clock Thursday morn
ing, and after an hours conference
with his attorney, walked into Sheriff
Spencer's office and surrendered.
Shortly afterward he was locked up.
His face was haggard and drawn.
Thursday night he was released on a
bond for $4,000 signed by Leo Will
man, a real estate man. and Henry
Blum, proprietor Of a saloon on Mar
ket square. Mr.. Harroun said:
"Tho man who makes mistakes
must take the consequence. That's
all we get in this world. l have no
complaint to make"
He still retains his nerve, however,
and his appearance is that of a man
worn with much thinking and plan
ming rather than one frightened.
"Oh, | think there is nothing for
me TO say" he said. Il think 1t has
all been told. l shall continue to do
all in my power to see my creditors
do not lose. | shall give the grand

Judge Casteel issued a venire for a
special grand jury. The jury was i'm
paneled and went to work Thursday
evening. In his instruction to the
grand jury Judge Casteel said that
there seemed to be a disposition or
the part of the creditors of Harrour
to patch matters up without prosecu
ton. This, said the court, would moi
satisfy the public demand for justice
and the grand jury was, therefore, in
structcd to inquire carefully into the
charges, and If any person or persons
were found guilty as charged it wal
the duty of the jury to return indict
ments accordingly. Men who forget

sbIn sunday Resusoltated.

The whole Roosevelt Administra-
ton seems saturated with the idea
that ship subsidy bill must be forced
through Congress. The latest high Of
fetal to attempt to coeree Congress
is Robert B. Armstrong, assistant
secretary of the treasury While
Secretary Shaw and others Of the Cab

a ship subsidy or their under strap

The Cost of Living.

After pondering over the figures Of
the Department of Commerce and La.
Dor for about a month the Chicago
Chronicle has discovered Mr.. Wright's
average man" does not exist, but that
the standard Of living is better" than
it was a few years ago. Since the
beef trust, the coal trust, and the
hundreds of other trusts have adj
vanced prices to the top notch, the
average man and woman have dis.
covered that it cost a great deal more
to keep up the standard of living and
that present wages and trust prices
are an obstacle that everyone feels.
All the sophistry of the Republican
statisticians cannot gloss over the
fact that the limited income cannot
be stretched to meet the demands
that are made upon IT, High trust
prices fostered by the protective tariff
may give a glamor of prosperity to
the protected industries, but the many
have to pay to the prosperous few.
