Since January ! the automobile &C
cidents in New York and vicinity have
numbered 1893. In sixty-two cases
men, women and children were done
to death. From the whole number
may be selected between fifty and
seventy which have rendered their
victims permanent cripples. And the
most remarkable part of it is that
the owners and drivers of autos have
escaped with light fines. The yearly
death roll of the country over, due to
automobiles, is likely to be greater

from one city.

of Germany. Yachts of English, Ger
man and American design and con
struction are competing for the prize
terested to hope that some American
boat will prove successful. The At
lahtic, in command of Captain Barr
was in the lead at the start, but it is
the finish that counts, and all Amer
leans will hope that his splendid sea
manship will be accompanied by good
luck and that he will return with
the prize.

WORTHY OF THEIR PRAISE.

certain Democratic newspapers IN
this country, one or two in this state,
are finding much to praise and admire
in Theodore Roosevelt. This is we'll.
He is deserving of it from every Amer
lean. But when they go so far as to
say that President Roosevelt is ad-
vocating Democratic principles, or is
more of a Democrat than a Repub-
lican," they make lightning change
from the serious to the humorous.
Because some Republican federal sen.
ators, who are clearly allied with the
railroad interests, do not approve of
the presidents views on rate legisla.
ton, it does not follow that he is not
strong with the masses of his party.
AS a matter of fact no president was
ever stronger with his party. Even
Abraham Lincoln in the dark days of
the civil war, had no more earnest or
loyal supporters in the Republican
party than President Roosevelt has
at the present time. The heads of
trusts or great railroad corporations
consider their own interests before
those of any party.
In every great movement for the
betterment of the condition of the
people of this country the Republican
party has taken the initiative. It has
always found the man to lead the
way and it made no mistake in Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
When he was named for president
in the Chicago convention a year ago
! no other name was mentioned, yet
there were those who would have
preferred another. Why didn't they
oppose him? Because they knew the
sentiment of the Republican masses
and bowed in submission to it. They
dare not defy that silent power which
only awaited an opportunity for ex-
preston at the polls, power as
strong today, yea, stronger, than it
| was then.
How was it at st. Louis? Didn't
the Democracy of the north, west and
south surrender to Wall street and
the representatives of the trusts and
monied interests of the east? Were
there not times when Mr.. Bryan was
not given respectful hearing? We're
not the offices and the patronage the
chief consideration instead of the well
| fare of the masses? If not why was
there such a surrender to the inter-
ests which the Democratic press now
appears so earnestly to oppose, and
which applauds Roosevelt because he
asks for square deal.
| 1t is not strange that the Republi-
can party is lead by a president that
commands respect and admiration. 1t
has had such leaders before, but the
opposition has preferred to wait un.
til they were removed by death before
they would concede their great worth
and loss to the nation.
Republicans generally take pride in
every tribute of praise bestowed or
President Roosevelt from Democratic
sources, and they will never become
alarmed lest he break the tenets o
their faith in carrying out the policie:
which he believes is for the welfare
of the whole country.

The successful search for the re.
mains of John Paul Jones by Gener-
al Porter, has caused some sensation
alists or sentimentalists to suggest
the removal of the remains of Po-
cahontas from England to the Unit
ed States. Commenting on this prop
osition the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
There is no valid objection to pro-
moters of the jamestown exposition
using every legitimate means of ad.
| yertising that comes their way; but
the proposition to bring the body OF
POcahOntas from Gravesend, England
where it has been so long in eternal
sleep, and give it burial and mon
ument in Virginia, raises the gorge OF
common sense There would be nc
sentiment in the performance. Il
would be a mere vulgar advertise
ment. Probably no responsible per
son has any such proceeding in mind
and there is additional security il
the probability that the remains would
be protected in their present grave
by good, old, hardheaded English OBJ
stinacy. There was such a person al
Pocahontas, but nearly all the stories
about her are mythical. John Smitl

The action of the Commercial club

showing something of the traffic il

the building to Great Falls would
mean the passage Of the road through

regards our external policy, I am glad to see that you have our good friend, the German ambassador, here tonight I am glad that you invited the representatives of the various foreign countries. and want to say just word afout the gen. eral attitude of our people in their for eign policy as to what 1t should be- Fundamentally, it ought to be based on just about the principle that ought to govern each private individual citizen dealing with his fellow on the principle Of trying to act squarely by every other nation, and of exaetins square treatment in return.
 And there is another point besides act ing squarely-talk politely.

 "Yes, and have that too, but don't brandish it. Tn private life not only do we object to being wrong. but we object almost as much to being insulted. Isn't that true? Exactly. Now let us apply it in public life in the same way. And this applies, gentlemen not only to public men, but to writers for the public press. l do wish that every public man and every public writer could realize the ex- treme desirability of speaking courteous ly and considerably of all foreign nations, Of all outside powers, To speak discour- teously. nsultingly, does not do them any harm; it may irritate them and therefore do Us some harm.

WEAK KIDNEYS.

To any kidney sufferer who has not tried my remedy I offer full dollars worth free Not a mere sample-but regular dollar bottle-standard size and staple.
 There is nothing to pay either now or later. l ask no deposit-no promise. You take no risk. The dollar bottle is free because mine is Ao ordinary remedy, and l feel so sure of its results that 1 can af- ford to make this offer.
 In the first place, my remedy does not treat the kidneys themselves Such treat ment is wrong For the kidneys are not to blame for their weaknesses or irregn- larities. They have no power-no self control. They are operated and actuated by a tiny shred of d nerve which alone is responsible for their condition. If the kidney nerve is strong and healthy the kidneys are strong and healthy. If the kidney nerve goes wrong you know it by the inevitable result--kidney trouble.
 This tender nerve Is only one of a great system of nerves; this system controls not only the kidneys. but the heart and the liver and the stomach For simpiicity's sake I have called this great nerve sys- tenn tine 'Inside Nerves" They are not the nerves Of feelins-not the nerves that enable you to yak, to talk, to act to think. They are the master nerves and every vital organ is their slave. The common name TOT these nerves ID tliS "sympatheic nerves''-because each set is in such close sympathy with the others, that weakness anywhere results in weak ness everywhere.
 This Is why I treat not the kidney that is weak but the ailing nerve that MAKES it weak This is the secret of my sue cess. This is why can afford to do this unusual thing-to give away FREE the first dollar bottle that ANY STRANGEk may know how nay remedy succeeds.
 The offer Is open to every one, every where who has not tried my remedy. Those who have tried 1t do not need the evidence So you must write ME for the free dollar bottle order. I will then send you an order on your druggist for a full dollar bottle, standard size and sta pie. He will pass it down to yon from his stock as freely as though your dollar lay before him and will send the bill to me. Write for the order today.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
 BEFORE PRESS CLUB
Urges Newspapers to Avoid Writing Things That Will lrritate
 Foreign Nations.

New York, February 13-At the thirty second annual dinner of the New York Press club, at tn Hotel Astor. President Roosevelt was the guest of honor. Six hundred or more men gathered about the tables in the main ball room while the balconies were filled with ladies. Presi- dent George H. Rowe of the club, pre- sided, John A. Hennessy acting as toast master. To his right sat President Roose- welt. and on his left the German ambas- sador. Baron Spec von sternberg. Next to President Roosevelt was Rt Rev. Mon signorf Talconio, papal delegate to the United States.
 The German ambassador spoke in praise of the mutual spirit of good will as man. ifested by Germany, and the United States In recent years He paid eloquent tribute to tic efforts of Emperor Wil- liam to bring about this, and also dwelt upon the deep impression produced in Germany by the St. Louis exposition, and the hospitable welcome extended by Americans to the thousands of German visitors to this country last year.
 Monsisnor Falconio and D. .Cady Her rick were smong the speakers.
 Demonstration Given President.
 President Roosevelt arrived at the Ho- tel Astor about 1,15 and was introduced few minutes later. His entrance to the banquet room was the signal for an out burst of enthusiasm followed by a second demonstration when he was introduced. It wss about l2;S5 when he finished and an informal reception followed President Roosevelt at the dinner said in part:
 "As my friend Congressman sulver will tell you, In Washington and generally elsewhere that S per cent of the really important work has nothing political In 1t. That S per cent includes an immense amount of worrying problems of how to get maddina decent government; and 1t is part of tho creed of all public servants who aspire to bo thought decent public servants. that when it comes 10 ques- tion of honesty. there are no party lines. We csn afford to differ widely among our selves on the question of the currency, of the tariff and many other subjects we cannot afford to differ on the elementary question of getting honest and decent ser vice for the public, no matter from which party, no matter what man happens to be in power. In our internal affairs the major part of the problem. after all, is seeing that the inefficient man is kept out of office but if he is put in, his stay may be as brief as possible, and that If he is crooked. nothing shall avail.
 You see our international policy as a -..io- is ~erfeetiv simple policy Now
