SEES NO GOOD
IN The CANAL
Pettigrew Declares It Illogical
and Nonsensical What a
Railroad Would Do.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 5O.-The
views of James j. Hill on the Panama
canal question:, as expressed In an adj
dress recently delivered to the farmers
of Minnesota, are strongly endorsed
by Richard Franklin Pettigrew of this
city.
squarely in opposition to the construc-
tion Of the canal He says:
"Of all the illogical, nonsenslcal
propositions ever taken up by the
American PUBLIC, that canal is the cap
stone of them all. They tell us the ca
nal is for the purpose of regulating
freight rates and holding transcontl-

the Hawaiian islands. That sugar Is
the cheapest commodity brought to this
country.
'sIt is carried by sailing vessels from
Hawaii to New York around the horn
for S. ton. There might be twenty
canals, yet no sailing vessel could get
through, and besides the toll of 81
cargo Of silks or teas are going to
be shipped by way Of the canalg Why,
the interest on such cargo would
be more than the profits would amount
to should the canal route be taken.
'EThe only commerce the Panama ca
nal could hope to get is high-class
freight, which does not deteriorate by
virtue of being. long in the hold OF :, a a
toll Of So ton will not pay the lock
keepers, let alone the government get
ting any interest on it's investment.
"They tell us that the Panama canal
will regulate the rates for coast proc,
nets, and point to that as a great card
for the canal. Now, the facts are, only
10 per cent of the business Of the trans
continental railroads originate on tne
Pacific coast. Doessany sane man pre-
sumo to say that the canal will have
any effect on the other 80 per cent OF
the products, which first must 20 to the

But such figures as tn csc will show thu

is really sincere in it's desire so to do.
"This government can acquire o

The Real Cause of Backache, Urinary Ills, Dizzy
Etc, is Weakness of the Kidneys. Doan
Kidney Pills Cure Weak Kidneys

Sick kidneys, like any weak link in
a chain, weaken the whole structure of
the body and hasten its final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when the
activity Of the kidneys is slessened the
whole body suffers from an excess Of
uric acid circulated with the blood.
Backache, rheumatic pains, urinary
ills and languid or nervous spells fol
low, and there is an ever-increasing
tendency toward fatal diabetes or
Bright's Disease. There is no real help
for the sufferer at any time except kid
ney help.
Doan's= kidney Pills is the one kid

kidneys, makes lasting cures, and is
