usually must do, more arbitrary things than individuals.
should say that a man should retire when he is played out. When
a man feels that he is unequal to the tasks OF life that may be set for
him it is in season for him to give way to him who can render the re-
quired service.
Iii not easy, of course, for a man to determine that period for him
self, and he must trust, perhaps, more or less to the judgment OF others.
If he has any penetration left he will not be long in finding out.
But how does this age usually come to a man, speaking in terms OF
years? How often do we see men of 70 aand 80 showing even greater
powers than at any other period of life? The Gadstones are not rare,
and the yirMty that he possessed is very frequently displayed by men
in less conspicuous walks of life whose cases escape observation.
1t is unfortunately true, however, that in Our own time there are
too many men whose speed Of living has so drained their vitality that at
50 and even at 40 they are practically in the decline of life.
Dissipation, worry, too strenuous effort, too excited an outlook on
the worId-these are among the chief causes of premature old age.
The old saying is that a man is as old as he feels, and misuse of our
minds and our bodies is making many a man Of 50 an old man and one
who should be called upon to retire, while proper use of his health and
strength ought to enable a man to lengthen out his years of usefulness
and enjoyment even beyond the
limit of three score and ten. N1eSEm%

shall put in Office good and efficient men only? The question needs only
to be asked to remind lis that no such method has ever been found, if in
deed any exists. Graft is practiced or assisted by ~oicehoders and
p~laceholders under every form Of government, despotc, ohgachc or
democratic, and it is therefore, in my opinion, a mistake to point to graft
in America as an evidence of the failure of the democracy or as a thing
inherent in popular government.
What is needed is a very difficult task-to convince millions of peo-
pie, who have grown up under the existing conditions, that their notions
of government are at cross purposes with the true objects of democracy.
So long as any individuals or any classes among one people are en-
couraged to look to government as the source Of business prosperity, as
the dispenser of fayors, as the partner or servant OF those who possess
the greatest influence through wealth or votes, or in any other way, SO
long will graft find its opportunities and even its defense. 1t is easy
to say that by sinking party differences good citizens can unite in the
support of honest and able candidates and secure their election; but it is
not easy to get them all to unite when the candidate, or a large element
among his supporters, represent either the abuse of the executive power
in appointment or even the worse abuse OF a legislators power, which
consists in subjecting his fellow citizens TO protective tariff taxes en-

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are sure
to fOHop. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes youdizzy, restless, slecpless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the day and
obliges you to get up many times during the
night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache
in the back, joints and muscles; make your head
ache and back ache, cause indigestion stomach
and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow cont
pleXion, make you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength get weak aud waste away,
The cure for these troubles is DIR. kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the world-fainous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid TO the kidneys that is
known to medical science.

He evil known as graft cannot be stopped by palliatives nor

deeper than the surface, nothing less, in fact, than a radical
reform in education, which shall expose the falsty of the
views in regard to government which are held by a very large
part of our people of all sorts and conditions.
Laws cannot stop it, for graft prospers by evasion Of
