 Then a friend advised me 10 try Dodd's Kidney Pills and in about two weeks started to improve. Now I am glad to admit I am Cured and I cannot praise Dodds Kidney Pills too highly

EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Was

Political Independence.

The earliest formal declaration of
political independence in this country
was made by the independent news
papers.
The harvest of their sowing now APP
pears.
Think of member of the cabinet de-
claring himself independent of the Re-
publican party of Cincinnati.
III | were able" said Secretary Taft
in his Akron speech, ''as | feel | shall
not be because public duty calls me
elsewhere, to cast my vote in Cincinnati
in the coming election, | should vote
against the municipal ticket nominated
by the Republican organization.
Twenty years ago such a declaration
would have been political heresy.
Twenty years ago when the independ-
ent press proposed the separation of
city from national and state politics, the
proposal was jeered at by the cynical
as the drivel of dreamers.
Equally striking is the declaration of
Secretary Root that 1.-The gang ruling
Philadelphia are not Republicans.
They are a corrupt and criminal COM
bination. They deserve the opposition
of all honest Republicans"
Why, that sounds like one of Carl
Schurtz's heretical utteranceS of the
'7Os.
There is new tune in the political
atmosphere.
Idealism is really getting its innings
Note the Independent support of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York.
Note President Roosevelt's bold dec
laration that city government and
national politics are distinct and that
any effort to combine them works to
the injury of both.
Let the grafters rage and the politi-
cal FOUNDERS imagine vain thing.
The country is getting new point of
view on political decency.
All hail the new declaration of indie
pendence. milwaukee, Journal.
