The Governors Appeal.

it anOears ridiculous proposition.
Here we have a special session OF

The second natter has not been

in'that direction had been passed

Why did the governor want this

in a bank backed by a guaranty

the bankers or others get together
and get a deposit insurance scheme

no insurance. and we are entitled

deposit Insurance law is the best.
but it has not vet been perfected.
In view of the fact that have
been given by the advocates of the
guaranty law. it IS ridiculous for
the chief executive Of the state to
be forced to. appeal to his legis-
Iature for the law. But just as
long as we continue to send bank
ers to the legislature. just so long
we may have to 'appeal". A
large number of both member of
the legislature are bankers, includ-
ing both the senator and represent.
ative from this district. and it is
certainty that just as long as
bankers are sent down there they
will look out for number one.
We have plenty Of GOOD material
in both the republican and demo.
cratic party for those officers who
are not bankers. Better get them
dawn there, and an aDpeal will

A. A. Willett, living two and one
half miles southeast of Americas, Ca,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills in my
case acted up to representations. l
had been a sufferer for some years
from dull pain in the small of my
back, and at times after sitting I
could hardly arise to regain an erect
position. The secretions showed a
sediment, and were very unnatural in
appearance. / used a number of diff
ferent remedies, and also rubbed my
back with liniments, but did not re-
eeive any relief until | procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Dodson's
Pharmacy. Since using them my
back is strong and my kidneys have
been restored to normal coalition.
