III Is CHILDISH.

kidney Trouble" is a term seldom
used in Medical Works. The techni-
cal term they use is from the Greek
and means inflammation of the kid
neys." which is the real difficulty
with kidney trouble people.
II is childish to attempt to treat
inhamed kidneys with kidney irri-
tants. And yet thousands do it every
day, and kidney disease that does not
get well early takes a chronic form
that was incurable, the deaths now
reaching 10 per day.
The ordinary diuretics are kidney
irritants and drive the kidneys for a
short time. This does not allay in
hammation in them-rather the re-
verse. Can you see why the old kid
ney medicines were not only futile but
at times harmful and why physiciany
have abandoned them? &.
1t was the life work OF the late
John J. Fulton to reverse the old
method of irritation and replace it
with a new action upon the kidneys
that absorbs and allays kidney in
nammation. and for the first time in
the world kidney disease, both in the
acute and chronic stages. is now yield
ing TO treatment.
And the means of doing It was an
actual discovery. for up to the ap-
pearance of Fulton's Renal Compound
physicians and pharmacists knew
nothing that would reduce inaamma-
ton in the kidney tissues.

Moral Effect of Athletics.

Aside from its physical effect, the
moral effect OF athletics, in the case
of the soldier, atseast, is of no small
value. My experience has been that
men are less likely to drink in the
football or baseball season, even
though ley may be addicted to the
use of intoxicants. And this, though
no special effort may have been made
along these lines by those in charge
of the sports. The class of men who
go in for athletics and excel in such
contests are the most desirable SOL
diers and the best all-arodnd men.
Still another advantage of athletics
is that good athletic teams and the
reputation for a post of having cham
pion teams, draw good recruits and
soldiers to. enlist there.-Army and
Navy Life.

Christian Science.

IL. as Prof William James has
lately said, the spread of the Chris
tian Science movement means that a
wave Of religious activity analogous
In some respects to the spread of
early Christianity. Buddhism and
Mohammedinism is passing over our
American world" 1t behooves us all
to acqualnt ourselves with the
sources of vitality that will be behind
this new propaganda, says Current
Literature. 1t has been generally as
sumed that the rapid growth of Chris
tian Science Is due to its healing pow
er; but Herbert w. Horwill, an Eng
lsh clergyman and journalist, who
has had ample opportunities for
studying the movement at first hand
comes to the conclusion that 1t owes
its influence quite as much to its
theological doctrines and church or
ganization The real significance of
Christian Science, Mr.. Horwill as
serts, lies in its exemplificauon of a

of social and religious phenomena
the tendency to reaction. This re-
action Is not necessarily or mainly a
reaction against the excessive use OF
drugs and medicines. II is a reac-
ton against antiquated and bewll-
dering theological doctrines, ard
against a too complex church organ
ization. Mr.. Horwill thinks that
church leaders in every denomination
have something to learn from Chris
tian Science, and that the efficiency
of all the churches will be promoted
by greater emphasis on practical
religion; by simplification of theoh
ogy, methods of worship, and organ
lzation. and by fulled reeosniIon
OF the apostolic truth that in Christ
there Is neither male nor female
There cen be no doubt, he adds
that christian Science has come to

REPORT OF SECRETARY TAFT.

| Washington. Jan. 2S.-President
Roosevelt in submitting to congress
the report of Secretary of War Taft
on his recent trip to the Philippines
declares no great civilized power has
ever managed with such wisdom and
disinterestedness the affairs of a peo-
pie committed by the accident of war
to its hands
The president expressed the opin-
ION, as does Secretary Taft in his re-
port, that it will be generation. may
be longer, before the Filipinos are fit
for complete self-government. He con-
ours in Secretary Taft's recommends
lions which are:
First-That legislation be adopted
by congress admitting the products of
the Philippine Islands to the markets
OF the United States, with such rea-
sonable limitations as may remove
fear of Interference with the tobacco
and sugar interests in the United
States.
Seeond-That the present restric-
lions be removed as to the acquisition
of mining claims and the holding of
lands by corporations in the Philip
pines.
Third-That further legislation be
passed authorizing the Philippine gov
Iernment, II It chooses, TO open and
conduct an agricultural bank. with a
capital not exceeding $4,000 600.
Fourth-That the coastwise laws of
the United States be made perman-
emily inapplicable to the trade be-
tween the ports of the islands and the
ports of the United States.
Denies Failure of Policy.
In answer to the critics who have
made what he terms "the most as.
founding and unfair statements in re-
spect to the cost to the United States
|of the Philippines" Secretary Taft
figures out a total annual expenditure
of IS 900 600, and he vigorously de-
MES the failure of the Philippine poll
icy. lie says the severe criticism to
which the policy of the government in
the Islands has been subjected by Eng
l'sh colonial statesmen should not
hinder pursuit of It in the least. "It
is. of course, opposed to the policy
usually pursued in the English gov

statesmen have assumed that the SAT-
est course was to keep the native peo-
pie ignorant and quiet" says the sec
rotary.
Speaking Of trade between the Phil
ippines and the United States Secre-
tary Taft says Il is doubtful whether
there are enough United States YES
sols to carry It on, and if rates are
raised trade will cease. He believes
corporations may safely be permitted
to hold 10000 acres Of land, if any
limitation is to be imposed.
Says Peace Now Prevails.
Secretary Taft asserts that the
agency of the army in bringing about
order in the Islands must never be
minimized that the hardships of the
campaign 1t has had to carry on were
great. At one time in the campaign
against guerrilla warfare the report
says there were more than 500 differ
ent posts and more than $4,000 men
in arms. He is certain peace could
have been restored in no other way
than in the service rendered by the
army He says the American soldiers
exhibited toward the natives a sympa-
thy the character of the warfare they
carried on did not invite.
Medical school Established.
The report tells of the establish
ment by the government of a medical
school. the graduates of which will
spread over the islands into localities
which have never known a physician.
The average value of Philippine ex-
ports, including gold and silver coin.
from 1903 to 1907 was S32,27O,72G.
For the fiscal year ended June 80, the
insular revenues were $11,149,G19.25
and the expenditures $S,40S.O12.S4.
The total bonded indebtedness. ac-
cordng to the report, is 900 600.

One would think that when a Reput

bad politics, If his decision is de-

he Is interested; yet We find seven

Taft. when he decided that Kentucky
Republicans would have to take re-
course to their state courts in the
Goebel contest, was playing for Dem
ocratic votes-which would show
what a poor politician William IL
Taft really is.

conclusion of this wonderful EXPOSE

Such notoriety given to those little

Charles Warren Fairbanks is peculiar,
must be as embarrassing to him, as
were the comparisons between him
self and President Mckinley, with dis
paraging illusions to Roosevelt, which

tors declared today in discussing the

Here are some expressions of opinions
Senator Nelson, Minnesota-It's a
grand message and was fully Justified
by the conditions in the country.
Senator Clapp, Minnesota II
means the nomination OF Taft at Chi

Senator Charles Curtis. kansas
Hurt Taft? 1t will strengthen him
Ii is more than ever certain now,
since that message went TO congress,
that Taft will be the nominee.
Senator Dixon, Montana-lt means
the nomination of Taft at Chicago.
Senator sutherland, Utah The
sentiment in Utah and in the inter
mountain states is overwhelmingly
for the president and whatever he de-
slres. The message will strengthen
him with the common people: ] have
always believed that Roosevelt would
poll more votes than any other man
who could be named by the Republi-
cans. Nine out OF ten Republicans in
Utah will be ready to do whatever Is
necessary to carry out the president S
policy, and this will mean the renom-
lination of the men adapted for the
work. AT present II looks like Taft.
Senator Borah, Idaho think TAFT
will be dominated. The message VIII

means.

The effect of the message makes Ger
tain the nomination OF Taft at Chica-

There was little encouragement for
reactionaries in the speech of Hughes
paving tribute to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration: and the revolt of the
western bankers association from
Wall street domination of financial
affairs. indicates the right line of
cleavage between the industrial and
commercial interests of the country,
and the speculative element. Bryan's

milton of wrong somewhere, but he

thing land the unprincipled practice of
ii. there is a wide divergence, and II
would be strange, indeed, If some
abuses have not crept into the tariff
system. II would be singular If some
interests have not succeeded in secur-
ing benefits that amount to more than
protection, and in which their work
ingmen do not share. Other sched-
ules may have been made unsatisfac-
tory by time and changed conditions.
The demand is made that the party
act honestly in the tariff matter. and
the first requirement of honesty is
honesty with ones self. Taft and
Hughes have both pronounced for
tariff revision; but that revision must
be made by congress. If either OF
these men is elected president, he can
only use moral influence and the pow
er of patronage to sway congress TO
his will: while powerful influences will
be arrayed against him to demoralize
the party and cause it to break faith
with the people.
The blame or the honor will rest
eventually with the rank and file.
Ohio. with her favorite son the lead
ing candidate for the presidency. and
the highest exponent of patriotism in
office. affords an excellent example of
the situation. Not only may she furn-
ish the president, but she must elect
two United States senators and a
number of congressman. Upon the
kind of men the voters send to the
state legislature will depend the man
ner in which she supports the presi-
dental policy in the United States
senate. Her voters will be directly
for their own congress
sional representation. 1t is easy to
applaud presidential utterances, but
we can not avoid our own resposibil-
ity. The destiny of this country and
the fate of the Republican party rests
in the hands of the voters of the Re
publican party. If the party is
wrecked on the tariff issue, it de-
serves no better fate, Notwithstanding
its wonderful record of half cen
fury.
