"Doan's Kidney Pills and | are

The President and Peace.

Baron d'Estournelles de Constant
does not seem to regard the president
as a reckless and flamboyant "war
lord" On the contrary, he speaks
feelingly of "the grand and decisive
services rendered to the cause of in
ternational arbitration by the United
States, and particularly by President
Roosevelt" What were those services:
The baron tells and he scarcely
claims too much when he says that he
knows the facts better than any one
else. Certainly he should know them
as well as any one in the world. 1.-The
court at The Hague" he says, stood
deserted, abandoned and ridiculed
until the day when he president
RoosevelD had the courage, generos
ity and foresight to save it. That
act alone has entitled him to the
thanks of all Europe for his pacific
and liberal spirit
That is a remarkable tribute to be
paid to war lord who is. according
to his partisan critics, going about
with a chip on each shoulder and
bullying and browbeating every one
with whom he comes in contact, and
is ready at any moment to embroil the
world in war for the sake of personal
prestige or for sheer lust of blood
Yet he would be rash who should
deny the authority of this speaker or
the exact truth of his words.-Nev
York Tribune.

Party confessing its Error.

What we may know for sure is that
the country does not regret any of the
leading achievements of the past
eight years of Republican rule. We
speak thus confidently, for the Demo
cratic party now stands confessed be-
fore the country as having been in
error in its opposition to the most i'm
portant of these measures. 1t lie
seeking the election with platform
which virtually confesses that the
party was wholly wrong in the last
two presidential campaigns. 1t has a
candidate who openly confesses that
it was wrong in every vital particular.
1t comes pleading that it has seen the
error of its ways and that as a re-
formed bungler it can safely be trust
ed with power. 1t has no argument OF
charge to make against the general
sum of Republican policies.-Kansaf

WITH THE
VETERANS

was Skillman, however, who
aroused them from their reverie.
Skillman had not been dancing with
his accustomed hilarity; he sat in a
corner, pleading illness, but scheming
all the time how he could get away
and give the alarm to Morgan's COM
mand.
An opportunity, as he supposed, pre-
sented itself, and Skillman made a
dash for the window and for liberty,
but the dash was of short duration.
Knights men ceased to be dancers
and became soldiers who knew their
duty The Confederates, including the
newly welded lieutenant, were
promptly marched off to Fosters head
quarters as prisoners of war-New

THAT DOOR CLOSED.
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA AN
IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSITION.
Limited to Natural Products Only the
United States Would Reject 1t,
While Canada Will Not Lower Her
Tariff Bars in Favor of American
Manufa ctures.

The light of truth and fact seems
to have penetrated the intellectuals
of the Des Moines Register. After a
long period of hankering after Cana
dian reciprocity, after having en-
ployed many columns of editorial
space in urging a wide open policy of
free trade in articles which can be
produced more cheaply in Canada than
in the United States, the Register at
last sees the situation as it is and
concludes that Canadian reciprocity
is an fmpossibility under present con-
ditions. Undoubtedly. For more than
two years past these conditions have
been perfectly obvious to those who
opened their eyes to see. Repeatedly
it has been pointed out by the OPP
ponents of competitive reciprocity
that Canada did not want and would
not consent to any trade arrangement
other than the free interchange Of
natural products; that Canada was
bent upon building up her own indus
tries and not upon crushing them by
inviting increased competition from
the United States; that reciprocity
in natural products only was not to
be thought of, unless the Republican
party was prepared to take the conse-
quences of depriving the farmers of
the United States of the direct bene-
fits which they now derive from the
tariff on competitive agricultural prod
ucts; that. in short, Canadian reci-
procity was a closed book. All this
has been pointed out over and over
again. 1t is the absolute truth and
once it is fully grasped and under
stood as such we shall hear no more
about Republican dissension on that
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1904-10-29
SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time Of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

In Any Time Of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing SO valuable as
Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digeStible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
Some time ago l was very i'll with
typhoid fever, SO i'll everyone thought
l would die, even myself 1t left me
SO weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck
81 needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until / finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
aot only supplied food that 1 thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly we'll and strong again
SO 1 can do all my homework, sleep
well, can eat anything without any
trace of bowel trouble and for that
reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth
its weight in gold.'' Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Greek, Mich.
Typhoid fever. like some other dis
eases. attcks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre-digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong, fox
all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

Every houseneeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Gold
Water Starch for lalsldry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains Is Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
1907. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures ''16 ozs.'' Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

THIS WOMAN KNOWS
WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DlSCOv-
Erred TO HER GREAT JOY.
Mrc. De Long Finds That the indie
scribabIe Pains of rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. E. NJ. De Long, of No. 160
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter of 1896.
She gave the doctor a chance to help
her, which he failed to improve, and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting of her own. She was so
successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story of her escape from
suffering:
My brother-in-law," she says. was
enthusiastic on the subject of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills as a purifier OF
the blood, and when l was suffering
extreme pains in the joints of my an
kles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows,
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, / began to reflect that rheuma-
tism is a disease of the blood, and
that if DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
50 good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth
trial.
81 was in bed half the time, suffer
ing with pain that cannot be described
to one who has never had the disease.
1t would concentrate sometimes in one
set of joints. When it was in my feet
l could not walk; when it was in my
elbows and wrists l could not even
draw the coverlets over my body. I
had suffered in this way for weeks
before l began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after l began
with them 1 experienced relief and
after l had taken six boxes 1 was en-
tirely well. To make sure / continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
era1 years l have had no reason to
use them for myself, but l have rec
commended them to others as an ex-
cellent remedy"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue,
strong muscles and nerves, capable of
bearing the strain that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of the blood or nerves,
such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st. Vitus'
dance, nervous proStration, anemia
and all forms of weakness in either
male or female. They are sold by all
druggists.

Soldiers Sense of Hunor.

The late Rear Admiral Henry C.
Taylor often cited as an example of
CHASTITY humor an incident that befell
a young woman during the civil war.
says the Baltimore Herald.
''She was good and kind" he would
say, 'and during the war she visited
the hospitals daily, distributing fruits
and flowers and tracts.
"One morning on her rounds a
young soldier, Immediately after she
had passed him, set up a loud laugh.
'.She turned and looked at him in
surprise. He seemed pitiful case.
Nothing of him but his face was Wis
ible on the little white bed, and this
young face was sadly thin and pale.
Nevertheless he laughed like one pos
sessed. His mirth resounded through
the grewsome room.

all, impracticabfe, undesirable and
worthless, because it would not gain
for Massachusetts, manufacturers
dollars worth of new markets for
their wares, while it would be morally
certain to dissolve and disrupt the
more than seven years between the
protected farmers of the agricultural
west and the protected manufacturers
of industrial New England; and, sec
ond, because the scheme of reciproc-
ity that is being promoted by Foss
and his free trade coadjutors is in
direct conflict with the sound Re
publican doctrine, set forth in the ma
tional platform of 1904, that there
shall be no reciprocity that involves
injury to '-any American industry or
70 American agriculture" The best
thing to do with the reciprocity chi
mera is to tell the truth about it
The truth is that the dream Of Cana
dian reciprocity is now, and while
the Republican party remains in con
troll of national affairs must continue
to be, utterly hopeless of realization.
They understand it that way in Iowa
Now let Massachusetts follow suit
and recognize the obvious and the
inevitable.

question, and those who continue to
agitate for reciprocity with Canada
will have to deal with the Democratic
party, which is always ready to at
tack and undermine protection
1t is, to be sure, an eleventh-hour
conversion in the case of the Des
Moines Register, this final abandon
ment of the chase after the pot of gold
at the foot of the Canadian reciproc-
ity rainbow, but none the less well
come on that account.
In a recent editorial the Register
says:
"Col. Raymond has recently been in
CenaGa, and his r-sport of sentiment
as he found it, confirms the report
Gov. Cummins recently brought from
the North. Canada is not at all So
licitous for reciprocity with the
United States, further than to get a
market here for Canadian farm prod
uce, which this country has always
refused to consider unless accompan-
led by substantial concessions to
American manufactures, which Can
ada will never make. Canada is to-
day firmly welded to the high tariff
idea as against American trade, and is
steadily raising the barriers to pro-
tect Canadian manufactures. Canada
has seen that a high tariff is forcing
American capital across the border,
and on that account also will insist
upon it.
The manufacturers of Massachu-
sets and New England believe they
can secure more favorable admission
into the Canadian market for their cot
ton and wool goods. but there is not
the slightest indication that they can.
= Canada will not now nor
at any time while the Chamberlain
preferential trade program is alive, or
while the prospect of developing home
industries adequate to the home
needs is bright. allow the United
States to enter the Canadian market
terms The opportunity to monopo-
lize the Canadian market came and
went ten years ago"
We commend this candid recanta-
ton on the part of a hitherto hot
propaganda of the Canadian reci-
procity humbug to the earnest consid-
Grafton of certain Republican states
men in Massachusetts. They can take
it home to themselves with positive
ADVANTAGE. They may be able to dis
cover th.refrom that it is far better
to fight Canadian reciprocity with the
keen-edged weapons of fact, Of truth
and of logic. than to palter and strad-
die and compromise. What the Re
publican reciprotarians of Massachu-
sets need to be told is, not that their
scheme of free trade with Canada is
sanctioned by sound Republican doc
trine and is not in conflict with the
national Republican platform, but
that reciprocity with Canada in COM
petitive natural products is. first of

One of Natures Freaks.

One of Natures freaks, in the shape
Of reed fish, is on exhibition in Sc
attic curio shop on the water front.
This interesting specimen may be best
described as half animal and half veg
atable life. 1t is six feet long. The
reed apparently grows out of the fish,
while the latter carries a covering
over the reed, hence the dual animal
and vegetable life. This reed fish
was taken on Hood canal last week
by a tugboat man. 1t stands erect in
pools of salt water. Though long and
1.-THE and to every appearance veg
etable product, the thing has a head

Incredible Speed in Writing.

The late Colonel Prentiss Ingraham,
according to Mrs. Ella W. Peattie.
wrote in his literary career of thirty
four years 600 novels, averaging 10000
words each, and 400 novelets, averag-
ing 10000 words each. This means a
yearly output of 1,352,941 words, daily
3,7O7, or 1915 hourly. Also he wrote
several plays, besides much verse and
other things for newspapers and mag
azines. This on top of an active and
adventurous life as soldier of the Con
federacy and then soldier of fortune in
various parts of the world. And yet
his income was but about $4,000 a
year.

REDUCING the Military Force.

AS some of President Roosevelt's
critics claim to have discovered, after
reading his letter of acceptance, that
while he is peaceful enough now he
is preparing for war, it may be inter
esting to call their attention to the
fact that the army. so DIR from being
increased, is of less strength than it
was the summer before he succeeded
to the presidency. The actual strength
of the regular army, including the
hospital corps, the Porto Rico regi-
ment and the Philippine scouts, was,
June 80, 1901, 2,94O oShcers and 1886
enlisted men; total, S1,586. At the
close of the last fiscal year, June 80,
1904, it was estimated at 1886.
Though this is an estimate, it is not
likely that the completed returns will
materially change these figures. For
a man who is preparing for war the
president is following a most peculiar
