There are more cases of kidney
trouble here now than ever before.
while recent reports show that more
people succumb. each year to some
form Of kidney disease than any 9th
er cause.
When there is sickness, examine the
urine. Rheumatism is only a symp-
tom Of kidney trouble. 1t is nothing
more or less than excessive uric acid
in the blood. which the sluggish, in
active kidneys have failed to sift out,
leaving it to decompose and settle
about the joints and muscles, causing
intense suffering; frequently resulting
in deformity: often reaching the heart
when death ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination and
other symptoms OF weak bladder arc
not the only signs of kidney trouble:
many cases of stomach disease, head
ache, pain in the heart. inactive liver,
etc, are but symptoms; the cause of
which can be traced to feeble, clog
ged kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void small quantity in q bottle or
glass and let It stand over night;
next morning. If there is reddish.
brick-dust sediment, or white, fieecy
substance present either consult
some reputable physician or take a
good vegetable treatment. The fol-
lowing prescription is recommended
highly in these case, and the sufferer
should mix it at home: Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract or
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounc-
es. Shake well and use in teaspoon
full doses after each meal and at bed
time.
Where any of the symptoms enum-
Grated above are present. good results
are sure to follow Immediately the
use of this simple prescription.

moyemet, like the Anti-saioon

moyemet, like the Anti-saIoon
League does,
Some men and some papers who
hope to make political thunder out
Of the movement are trying their
best to give the measure and the
action upon It political color. Yet
the fact remains that as far as the
movement has progressed both lead
ing political parties through their
representatives are aligned together
for and against 1t. Thus, it Is not a
political measure as yet. nor is it
likely to be made one in truth. in
the legislature.
The Parkersburg Sentinel, a
Democratic paper that always aims
to hue close to its party lines and is
a constant defender of party belief,
takes the position with evident hon
est conviction that the prohibition
amendment ought not to pass. The
sentinel's attitude shows conclu-
sively that it is not a matter of pol
itics as between the Republican and
Democratic parties, and, It cannot
consistently be one with the Prohibi-
ton party. as there is a bitter anti
pathy between it and the Anti-sa-
loon League.
The Sentinel says in part on this
question:
"The question itself is purely one
of local concern, about which re-
spectiye communities entertain diff
ferent opinions. and in this state this
matter is, at the present time, reg
ulated in each county according to
the views of the people of the coun-
ty. who every two years pass on the
subject indirectly in the election of
their county commissioners.
1.-THE legislature ought not to Sc
riously consider the submission of a
state prohibition amendment: If
determined upon action of any char
acret along these lines let rule OF
fairness and intelligence and rea-
sonable appreciation of conditions
appeal to the members in the for
nation of their judgments, and give
to the people he privilege of having
something to say about the regula-
ton of their own lcal concerns"
Thus, it seems that such leading
Democratic paper as the Sentinel re-
pudiates the contention that 1t
should be made a political measure,
and even goes to the extent of in
dorsing the position of Governor
Dawson that of local option. Now,
II any one can figure politics out of
the action of the legislature on the
question, he is welcome to do so,
but it is certain the Sentinel sees
no politics in it.

SUPERINTENDENT MILLER TO
TO STAND FOR REELECTION

That Superintendent Miller will ac-
cept the nomination for reelection If
offered to him by the Republicans of
the state is certain, says the Charles
ton Gazette. Reports were current
around the state house yesterday
that Superintendent Miller had for
mally entered the race to succeed
himself, but when seen by a Gazette
reporter last night. Mr.. Miller said
that he had not made and announce
ment, but during the past few days
influential Republicans had asked
him to enter the race, and from the
encouraging letters he had received
from all parts of the state, he would
again become a candidate If the par
ty desired.

Am Tor Taft.

The prognosttcators and wise
men in Washington who figure out
national convention choices with a
lead pencil have jotted down West
virginia's quota of delegates, four
teen, in the Taft column. The con-
tingent from West Virginia in the
Capital and the leaders who are IA
miliar with the actual conditions,
politically, there, declare that the
War Secretary has the unqualified
support of nine-tenths of the Repub-
licans of the State.
Friends of the Secretary from
Wheeling, from Charleston, from
Parkersburg and all over the state
say that what the man with the lead
pencil now records has been fact
since Taft's name was first mention
ed as presidential candidate. These
supporters and workers declare that
the support of the state committee
so heartily rendered the secretary, is
concrete expression of the senti-
ment that is overwhelming through
out the state. Word reaches Wash
ington, now, day by day, telling of
the organization OF Taft clubs
throughout. West Virginia with a
membership representing the rank
and file. The clubs subscribe to the
cry West Virginia for Taft" OPP
position, if any to the War secre-
tarys candidacy existed, has van
ished before this sentiment.
Since the support of the mem
bers of the state committee was
pledged to the Taft cause, that part
of political Washington intimate
with West Virginia affairs has con-
coded the Secretary's strength and
classified the state as Taft strong
hold. Some of the dubious have
inspired the query: why does
West Virginia want Taft?" Their
answer has been given them by the
editorial utterances of the press of
the state during the last few weeks,
and in the words of praise from Re-
publican leaders
Taft Just suits West Virginia Re-
publicans, say the secretary's friends
The ohioan is an American, through
and through, is their boast. They
point with pride to his public record.
They want Taft because when he is
called upon to face public question
or duty he doesn't ask: Will it pay
me politically to do this, or not do
that?" but on the contrary his
guiding thought is What shall do
with this question or with this duty
in the best interests of my country"
This is one of their arguments.
They add that Taft has successfully
performed every public duty which
has been intrusted to his charge,
since the day in 1881 when he re-
ceived his first public appointment
as assistant prosecuting attorney for
Cincinnati.

Prohibition and Politics.

The Anti-saloon League is not a
political organization and does not
cooperate with the Prohibition par

frequently have serious clashes.

hibition movement in the state leg

GRAY BOOM GROWING.

ATELY there has been decided develop
- ment of strength for the Judge Gray boom
for President. Democrats throughout the coun-
try who are opposed to the denomination of Col
onel Bryan seem to be taking serious notice of
the Delaware jurist The strength of the Gray
boom shows what might have been done had the
name of the jurist been presented some time ago
The talk Of Governor Johnson would have ceased
Be that it nay the situation for the friends of
Judge Cray, if their reports are accurate, is en-
couraging. They see signs that the entire opposi-
ton to Bryan will rally under the Gray flag.
1t must be remembered that to be nominated
Mr.. Bryan must receive the votes of two-thrds Of
the delegates to the Denver convention, and the
impression prevails that unless Bryan is named on
the first ballot he will fail to get the nomination.
The friends of Judge Gray are confident that the
New York delegates to Denver will support the
Delaware jurist. If the delegates of Pennsylvania
should be added to these, Judge Gray's supporters
would have formidable nucleus for a winning
fight for the nomination
It now appears that Virginia will send an unn-
structed delegation to Denver, and West Virginia
is expected to be for Gray. The Gray. or at least
the anh-Bryan men, are expected to control the
New Jersey delegation, and Bryan may have few
supporters from New England
AS the time for the convention approaches,
Bryan will not gain in the South and it is prob
able that the Gray forces will pick up many dele
gates in that region The Southern Democrats
want candidate with some chance Of winning.
They are not so much concerned about the ideas
represented by Mr.. Bryan as they are about a
slender hope of victory. And the same may be
said Of Pennsylvania and the New England States
and Maryland
Thousands Of Democrats in these States have
not changed their attitude in the slightest to-
wards Mr. Bryan. And these Democrats seem TO

The Central labor Trouble.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
congratulate the members of Or
-ganized labor in our city that at length
there appears to be an awakening to
the act Of the Central Labor Union, or
rather of a clique In that body. OF
an the outrageous acts ever perpa-
trated by the officers of an organiza-
ton Of labor, the act Of the Central
body clique stands pre-eminent. Every
one knows, and the files Of THE
EVENING JOURNAL in its news re-
port will prove the statement that last
spring, when the local option question
was brought up in the Central body
by the Brewery Workers Union, that
after long debate 1t was decided by
an overwhelming vote that the subject
of local option was beyond the powers
of the Central body to take Sides But
that the question was Of vast import
ance and that the Central body called
upon all members Of organized labor
10 study the question and to vote upon
the question pro or con-as individ-
uals"
Late in the local option campaign
certain officers of the Central body
brought In the Bartenders' Local, that
had been dead for a long period, and
rushed through the foolish resolve for
license. The Central Labor Union had
no more right to do that act than Il
would have to try TO pass a resolve IN
favor Of protection" free trade" $50
cialism" or single tax" Thosemen who
precipitated all this turmoil in Whining
ton labor circles should note how tho
Philadelphia Central body promptly
knocked out the scheme Of the saloons
to line up the Central body. Now, 1
say. the way out is this; Let all the
locals see TO II that no man goes to
the Central body as a delegate unless
he pledges himself to right the wrong
by the clique. I am not a
prohibitionist. 1 take a drink when I
desire TO do so, but am one of the
of men who voted for local
option who are disgusted with the
ring and saloon statesmen.
Yours sincerely,
A Union Man.
