James A. Wilson, farmer, living three
miles east of Leon, Iowa, says: have
been plagued with a weak back most of
my life but the last few years it became
more severe and l suffered most intense
pain and misery. The pain in my back
was such that l could not stoop or
straighten and to lift anything was an
utter impossibility. The secretions
from the kidneys were in very dis
ordered condition, their action much too
frequent, being accompanied by a
scalding sensation. They were also
highly colored and contained a heavy
sediment if allowed to stand. l used
several remedies, applied plasters but
was unable to find relief. Finally
read of Doan's Kidney Pills being good
for such troubles and decided to try
them, procuring same at Van Werden's
drug store. They helped me from the
first and by the time had used several
boxes was cured of the backache and
my kidneys were restored to their
normal condition. cannot say too
much in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills."

Senator W. B. Allison has announced
that he will be candidate for United
States senator at the coming primaries.
He does not, however, state what his
position is on the issues that divide the
standpatters and the progressives. In
this he differs very materially from Mr.
Taft, who is candidate for the presi-
dency. Taft has announced that he
favors amending the rate law prohibit.
ing over-capitalization of railroads. He
also favors criminal prosecution OF
wealthy offenders against the rate law
and the antitrust laws. He is also for
a revision of the tariff after the presi.
Dental election. AS Governor Cummins
has defined his position, the willy sena-
tor ought to do the same. This is an
age when the voter wants something
more than party name to guide him at
the ballot box.-Creston American.

The report of Pension Agent Coe
calls attention again to the fact that
the grand army of veterans of the civil
war is rapidly passing and the last re-
view is not far distant. This district
comprises the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the two Dakotas. The
whole number on the rolls now is
43,S43 to whom we paid pensions during
the past year Of $7,017,S17. The year
preceding there was paid out s7,047,-
921. Of these pensioners 407 were
members of the regular army during
the war; 14,209 received pensions under
the general law; 1901 under the Nc
Cumber law, passed last February;
25,9O3 under the act of 1909, placing
widows and children on the pension
roll; 1,193 are Spanish war veterans
and 191 are veterans of the Mexican
war. Eleven widows of soldiers who
fought in the war of 1912 are in the
rolls and 26 Indian war veterans draw
pensions through the Milwaukee office.
OF the pensioners in this district, 25,607
reside in Wisconsin and the sum of
S3,710,052 was paid out to them in pen
sions. There were 1915 deaths of pen
sioners in the district, 43 widows re-
married, and 4S minor pensioners at

CHAMP CLARK AS LEADER.

John Sharp Williams will not enter
the Unitel States senate until March 4,
1911, but it is believed he may not care
to assume the minority leadership in
the lower house of congress at the next
session. In case he does not make
fight to continue as the spokesman of
the democratic minority it is the belief
of Speaker Cannon that the leadership
will fall upon Congressman Champ
Clark, of Bowling Green, Mo. Clark
has great many friends in Congress,
and while he lacks some of the strong
qualities possessed by Judge De Ar
mond, he is more ready and vigorous
debater and possesses a great deal of
personal magnetism. These are essen
tiaL endowments in born leader, and
Clark would therefore make capable
champion for the hosts and principles
of democracy.-Qu Herald.

"The country can rest assured that it
can expect no help in tariff revision
from the crowd which will likely con-
troll the next republican convention.
They are already organizing against
any candidate, prospective or listed,
who shows any sign of leaning toward
honesty in dealing with the people. AS
that crowd furnishes the money to in
sure the purchase of the voters in the
close states. it is reasonably certain
that no revisionist will be nominated
by that party and that the democrats
and republican revisionists will carry
the next election if united in a sincere
desire to relieve the oppression wrought
by the indefensible tariff schedules of

WHAT BRYAN HAS DONE.

Mr.. Bryan made the greatest cam
paign in 1896 known to political history.
He took the standard of his party away
from the treacherous hands of the man
who held it, walked into the temples,
turned over the tables, drove out the
traitors, denounced the thieves, pro-
claimed honesty his motto, defed the
entrenched powers and thrilled a great
nation.
Every word he uttered in that cam
paign has been since bearing fruit.
All the history we have been making
since 1896 is due largely to Bryan.
Almost every forward step to curb
the insolence and ,shatter the tyranny
of the plundering monsters which had
grown up under corrupt legislation
sustained by corrupt courts, approved
by corrupt executors, has been due to
Mr.. Bryan.
The warfare that has been instituted
against the trusts is the growing stalk
from the seed of Organism planted in
1896.
The subsection and disgrace of the
greatest corporation the world ever
saw, the Standard Oil, is Bryan of 1896
developed and evolved into Roosevelt
and Lands of 1907.
The 2-cent rate for passengers and
the interference of the Interstate
commerce commission in this matter OF
freight rebates is the fruit on the tree
planted just eleven years ago at Chicago

maries of their senators and the pro.
gress toward the purest form of all de.

Secretary Taft is about to start on
another world-girdling trip. He will be
accom- panied by his wife, his son, his
secretary and PHILIPPINE servant. He
will travel in lordly fashion. Just for
what purpose the trip is to be made we
are not advised, but it will be at gov
eminent expense. And while he is
away wining and dining with high dig
nitaries of other countries and lavishly
spending Uncle SANS good coin he will
be drawing fat salary for a job he is
not pretending to cover. 1t is the i'm
perial way the world over.

That Iowa land does not return an
adequate cash rent to pay the investor
is fact, yet the statement of the Mar
shaiItown Times-Republican, that ga
first-class farmer can make more money
renting land in Iowa at $3.50 per acre
and cropping it than by owning it,
contains fundamental error. The
rental system does not pay either party,
as usual thing. No 'first-class farm
er" should settle down to be a renter.
He should get a foothold on the land in
order to let nature work for him
through series of years, instead of
doing all the work himself. 1t pays
better, in the long run, to own your own
farai than to be the tenant of any land
lord at any price. 1t is not question
of dollars and cents, merely; it is a
question of life and living.

The democratic voters of the United
States hold it in their power this min
ute and will continue to hold it in their
power until the closing of the polls in
1908, to elect democratic president
They hold it in their power to nominate
and elect William J. Bryan. But to do
this the trust interest must be nullified
IN democratic politics. The issue must
be one drawn and written with all the
fearful sincerity of the zealot. 1t is
that of the people-the real creators of
real wealth and real values and real
justice against the spurious and des-
pctic despoiiers of their constitution
and God-given rights. The name of the
issue signifies nothing: the spirit and
the principle, everything. Nashville

The department of justice in Wash
ington has given out the official state
ment that the Standard Oil company is
selling it's products abroad much cheap
err than in the United States. This is
true of all the large concerns in this
country. Practically every article
manufactured in the United States may
be purchased in other countries consid-
erably cheaper than it can here, Which
conclusively proves that the tariff is
worse than bungle. 1t is vicious as

what motive is behind the dirty work
no one seems to know although the
Sentinel has made many inquiries.
One instance of the manner in
which the criminals work is related
by A. l.. Sayles. He states that ON
last Wednesday afternoon he was in
his camping cabin near the old coal
road when he heard two shots fired
in close succession. He quickly
mounted his, already saddled horse
and galIoped across the desert In
the direction of the Shots. He rode
some distance but could not see any
one and everything was quiet, how
ever near the head of the canon he
found the body of n COW, belonging
to the Nugent Brothers, and the flesh
was still warm. There were two bullet
holes In the head, and one ear had
been cut off close up to the head.
1t is shameful and peculiar state
of affairs and 1t is to be hoped that
the guilty ones will soon be run to
earth and severely punished.
