Al lndcnendent Point of View.

| What do the Democrats offer TINS
year? What do they stand for? IL
is easy to declaim generalities about
Jeffersonian principles and all that.
But what do they propose to do. ana
whom do they propose to do 1t with:
Where are their leaders. and whittier
do they intend to lead us? Had not
they better really t together and give
us a clear-cut, definite program of
what they wish to do. and how they
EXPECT to do. before we trust to their
control? AS things now are. we are
asked to take a leap in the dark.-ln-
dianapOlis News.
This uttcrance from the leading indie
pendent paper of the Middle West may
fairly be construed as being the view
of the political situation taken by that
class Of American voters who are out
side the lines of strict party organiza-
tions, and " hose vote is a powerful
factor in any national elections. This
great independent vote realizes that
Judge Parker stands for nothing: that
the Democratic campaign is merely an
attempt to drive out the party III power
and put new party in power, nothing
more and nothing less. Its leaders
stand for nothing except the desire for
national power, and there are seldom
two of them who can agree upon any
issue of national importance. They can
present no clear and definite program
of what they wish to do or how they
would do it, such as the News calls
for. and such as the independent voters
must have before they will be tempted
to vote in favor of putting the country
into their control.
The independent voter is standing
pat this year. He knows that the
country is we'll off, that Roosevelt Is
safe man; that the Republican party
stands for something and has Il definite
program. He promptly and emphati-
cally declines the Democratic invita-
ton to take a leap in the dark.

acknowledgements Safe Cure
the Only Certain Kidney
Cure.

The Kidneys are by all odds the most i'm
portant organs of the human body.
They virtually control I'll the other organs.
Should they stop working for even n few
hours the blood would become so thick and
cloggcd with uric acid and other deadly
waste matter that the most powerful heart
would break down in the effort to force it
through the veins.
The strongest lungs would collapse trying
to purify such poisonous blood.
Without pure, rich, red blood there can
be no hcalth-no life.
It's true some of us live for months with
sick kidneys, but it is just waiting for them
to get little worSe-they never cure them
selves.
Death is constantly hanging over us. It
comes instantly to thousands; with warn
ings to many.
Backache, headache, rheumatism, sleep-
lessness, indigestion, ETC., are certain signs of
affected kidneys.
Health, though, we can never know while
the kidneys are out of order.
There is but one medicine that's fit to use
for the kidneys-ony one remedy that will
positively purify, strengthen and cure the
kidneys without injury to the delicate It's

October's Bright Blue Weather.

O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together.
We cannot rival for one hour
Oclobcrs bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblc-bcc makes haste
Belitcd, thriftless NaGrdnt.
And SOldcn-rOd is dying last.
And lanes with grapes are fragrant
WhcE gentians roll their fring"s t'Sht
To save them from the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin buirS
Without sound of warning,
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels SHINING.
And reddcr still on old stone walls
Are leaves of Woodbnc tWininS,
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white winged seeds are SOWING,
And in the fields. still green ana laif,
Late aftcrEaths are growing;
When springs run low. and on the brooks
In iGle golden freiShtins,
Brigh; leaves sing noiSclcSs in the hush
OF woods, for winter waiting:
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts
by twoS and twos together,
And count like miSerS hour by hour.

O suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts togrthcl-
Love lovcth best OF all the year
