Roosevelt Plan Not Analogous.

Senator France said the theory ad-
vanced by Senator Lee was unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary. The recommen-
dation of the President of the United
States is not analogous. He has made no
recommendations to have the payrolls OF
the government padded and political ac-
tivity rewarded in that way. II the sys-
TEN OF government were to furnish fund
to reward POLITICAL workers directly 1t
would be different.
Senator Baker interrupted to ask Sena-
tor Lee if by a reward Of political ac-
tivity he meant a reward of democratic
activity or republican activity. Haughtero
Senator Lee did not reply. and Senator
France resumed his remarks, saying that
the position that payrolls should be pad
ded to reward political activityis absolute
ly untenable If financial reward is to be
the criterion of political activity. it will
mean that the men and corporations who
have money will have the power in poll
tics The great mass of citizens must
remain without hope of such reward II We
are to have good government.
Senator Lees motion to make the
amendment the special order for Tuesday

With the average yield Of potatoes
for the whole country the past year
but 95.3 bushels per acre. and with
some yields reaching between 800 and
400 bushels, 1t is appalling to think
what some of the yields must have
been to fetch the average down to SO
low a point. There would seem to be
room for all kinds of Improvement still,
even in the matter of potato raising.

A bunch of Persian lambs, the. first
ever offered on the Kansas City mar
ket, were recently sold by a stock
raiser of Kanab, Utah. The animals
weighed seyenty-nine pounds and
brought $3.50 per hundredweight They
were raised in Arizona on ranch
comprising several thousand acres,
which was set apart by the govern
ment for the purpose of experimenting
with this variety of sheep. The fleece
of the Persian lamb fetches high
price. 1t is hoped by the government
officials in charge of the animal hus-
bandry work that this type of sheep
may be adapted to the semiarid sec
tons of the great southwest and that
the raising of them for fleece and NUT
ton may be extensively taken up.

An even superficial study of the his
tory of the world points conclusively
to the fact that it is those who have
given rather than got and those who
have served rather than preyed upon
their fellow men who are today es-
teemed truly great The truth noted
is one that the young man just start
ing out in life would do well to ponder
carefully if he world derive the great
est happiness out of life.

AS a result of the efforts of the for

dent Roosevelt and some of his prede-
cessors. an area of 100000 acres OF
government land has been reserved fol-

try. The officials in charge hope by
means of wise handling Of these re-
serves to have supply Of lumber and
timber always forthcoming, the aim in
view being use, but not destruction.

One home seeker with whom we talk
ed recently told US that he was plan
ming to go to the country where he
was intending to locate and live from
six months to year before he pur-
chased any land. This mans head is
level. If the land he is planning to
buy is worth what is asked for 1t, it
won't spoil or blow away In the mean
time. while if it is not worth what is
asked for it the would be purchaser
win be quite likely to find out why
Then, too, residence of several
months in the new locality will enable
a fellow to see the land at its worst
as well as its best. knowledge of which
will enable him to determine more in
diligently whether he wants to buy
for home or not. Our friend tells us
that even If he loses his gains for 3
year he thinks in the end he will be
money and satisfaction ahead. and We
are inclined to agree with him.

With every month that passes there
is brought to pullie attention with In
creasing emphasis the seriousness Of
the situation having to do with our fu-

far as lies in his power every owner of
land should aid in the solution of this
problem by setting aside few acres
and devoting it to the raising of trees
for his own use and the use of the
generations which come after him. The

Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of
Kidney Illness. Profit by Ma
rion Peoples Experiences

Occasional attacks of backache
irregular urination, headaches and
dizzy spells are common early
symptoms of kidney disorders. It's
an error to neglect these ills. The
attacks may pass off for a time
but return with greater intensity.
If there are symptoms of dropsy--
puffy swellinIgs below the eyes,
bloating of limbs and ankles, or
any part of the body, don't delay
minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep up the
treatment until the kidneys are
well, when your old time health
and vigor will return. Cures in
Marion prove the effectiveness Of
this great remedy.
II. Penn, proprietor of barber
shop at $50 north Main St, Marion
