Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
Well?

Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove
all uric acid from the blood. Its
presence there shows the kidneys
are inactive. Don't daily with
uric acid solvents. - You might
go on till doolnsday with them, but
until you cure the kidneys you will
never get we'll. Doan's Kidney
Pills not only remove uric acid, but
cure the kidneys ana then all dang
er from uric acid is ended. Here
is Willmar testimony to prove it.

In the state Of Washington the
Republican state convention de-
clared in favor Of county option.
The Democratic convention went
them one better by declaring in ia
vor of submitting constitutional
amendment for state prohibition.
And this in the wild and woolly
vest Isn't it about time for the
old parties in Minnesota to come
out squarely for one or the other of
these reform measures?.

Very likely jacobson has conclud-
ed that the best way to get the
nomination for governor is to keep
his mouth shut. This talk about

boom he has yet received for actual

the performances Of state conven-
tions in the past, jacobson can
hardly be blamed for letting such

Our choice for congressman from
the Seventh district would be David
H. Evans of Tracy, MINI. If he
could be prevailed upon to make
the race, he would make a good
run. He made host of friends in
this county in his canvass for Gov.
johnson two years ago. Why not
send a man to congress who would
vote against Joe Cannon for Speak
er of the house, and who would be
in the fight against the predatory
trusts all the time? David has the
ability and the courage of his con-
victions.

group Of 81 stores that we have un-
der the same system. Now am
going to give you an outline of the
principles of this cooperative
movement and will say this, that it
was organized and the inception
was made by 2 weavers of Roach
dale. England. They had been on
strike but were forced to go back
to work at the old wage scale.
They were very poor and % of
them met one evening in one of the
members house to formulate some
plan whereby they might help
themselves and make life easier.
Then one said Suppose we start a
store.'' They looked at the speak
er in establishment, with blank
faces, and stared at each other.
The idea seemed impossible to these
poor people. How could they save
enough money out of the small
amount they received per week.
They decided to save two pence per
week and with this small amount
of money they started store and
succeeded in establishing this move
ment which has since spread thru
the world and has never been a
failure. .... There are two kinds of
cooperation, true and false. The
one we have, equal ownership,
equal responsibility, equal author
ity and equal privilege. The other
kind l call false. The kind where
shares are sold on the unequally
owned plan; for instance, one man
may own one share or as many
shares as he can pay for. We do
not do that way. The stores start
ed on this plan are all equally
owned. For instance, each person
is entitled to one share and one
vote, and no proxy. The Board Of
Directors have the general manage
ment of the affairs of the whole
company. They have four meet
ings year, one every three months:
Our department in Polk county
started with forty members and at
the present time we have over 800
members and 10 departments in
this county company. When this
movement was started, it was as
if the people were in total darkness
concerning the best methods of pro-
cedure, but at the present time you
folks have the benefit of all these
years of the experience Of others.
Now, regarding the prevailing
opinion, is cooperation detriment-
al or beneficial to a town in which
companies are started? I will cite
our experience at Centuria.

said: ''Mr. Lowe, we do not re-

we received one hundred dollars

button among our members over

gentlemen? Yes, in more ways
than one; not Only in dollars and
cents, but in bringing about the

PRESS BULLETIN
BY John A. Shields, Minneapolis.

In the merry month of May"
the following samples of the 'ioys'
growing out Of the Poor Man S
Club in the state Of Minnesota
may be interesting: Hugo Knock,
IS years old, wrote note saying
that drink was responsible for his
rash act; on the 8th inst. he killed
himself in Phalen Park. The Wood
Lake News of the 14th inst. re-
ports the suicide Of Oscar Hoveland.
This act was committed while he
was in drunken frenzy. On the
18th inst. Peter Landquist of Crook
ston hung himself by means Of a
wire. He had been drinking heavi-
~. He left wife and three chill
dren. John Uren Of Virginia blew
himself into small pieces with a
charge Of dynamite. Peter Eng
man, after delighting himself in a
Poor Mans Club,' went to a
poor mans bed" in the hay loft
of barn, where he evidently died
in the throes Of acute alcoholism.
The Hallock News remarks Except
for his one failing, the deceased
was good man and inclined to be
industrious, and Of genial dispo-
sition. - Under a big double col
umn scare head, "A Brutal Muir
DER" the Lake Benton News tells
Of most shocking crime alleged to
have been committed by Smoke"
Schwab. He had been drinking
heavily and, according to the re-
port, drink played the chief role in
the tragedy. The wife and family
Of the victim mourn his tragic
death. The alleged cause Of the
murder was robbery. But never
mind; maybe they can find the mur-
derer and lock him up in the peni-
tertiary or hang him: then he can
not drink any more. Bring on a
fresh boy!
Bob Burdette, the noted humor-
ist, after some of the scathing sa-
tire sparkling wit Of which he is so
capable, says: 1.-The laws prohibit
ing stealing do not entirely prevent
stealing; but | believe in laws that
absolutely forbid any theft at any
time, on any day of the week.
And, on the same ground and just
as positively do / believe in the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic.
S. H. Todd, editor Of the Echo
Of East Palestine, Ohio, says: $50
per cent Of the business men and a
very large per cent of the working
men are in favor of a dry town.
Heads of our large concerns want
the town dry, and our taxes are
lower than when we had saloons. "
If it is good for town, it is far
better when the area is increased
to whole state, and better yet
when the manufacture Of intoxicat-
ing drinks is prohibited thruout the
entire nation.
De Witt Talmage said just before
his death. The greatest blow that
temperance reformation has had in
this century has been the fact that
some reformers have halted, under
the delusion of this high license
movement. You know what it is.
1t is the white flag of truce" sent
out from Alcoholism to Prohibi-
ton, to make the battle pause long
enough to get the army of decant-
ers and demijohns better organ
led" At the present time there
are not few honest men who are
pausing with compromise measures
the worst of calamities to a re-
form.

And now Minneapolis wants Mr..
Savage to become candidate for

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
AND COUNTY OPTION.

a picture and biographical sketch
of Joe Heatwole, one of the re pub
lican candidates for governor, to-
gether with the platform on which
he stands. 1t is to that platform
that we wish to call attention. 1t
contains a number of planks that
are fully up with the current Of
popular demands of today, and to
which members of all parties will
subscribe. 1t is healthy sign of
the times when man seeking such
a prominent position will thus fully
outline his beliefs and ask for the
votes of the people thereon, instead
of as has heretofore been the GUS
tom-seeking the favors of the po-
litical leaders and letting the con-
vention adopt a number Of strad-
ding planks and meaningless plati-
tudes to serve as platform.
OF special interest to a large
number of people in Minnesota is
Mr.. Heatwole's plain demand for
county option. That the people of
the state are overwhelmingly in ia
vor Of such a law there can be no
doubt. That the politicians will
give it to them voluntarily is not
to be expected, with the liquor ele-
ment standing as solid phalanx
against it. But with one of the
prominent candidates for governor
demanding this law, there is some
hope that the republican state con-
vention may be forced to adopt it..
Party lines have practically disap-
peared in this state, and such de-
claration would force new re-
alignment on a vital question, and
the party that takes a definite stand
in favor of this proposition will
certainly reap the benefit.
1t is to be hoped that Heatwole's
stand in the matter will force the
other candidates into the open.
Young's stand on the cid" ques-
ton is known; but no one knows
what his position is on the county
option law. Has he the courage to
come out plainly for or against it?
jacobson has championed such a
law in the past: but his enemies
now charge that he has surrendered
to the liquor element. Those who
know the hitherto unyielding char
acter of the man will strongly
doubt this. But his silence gives
an excuse for his enemies to talk in
that strain. Let him come out
plainly as of old and show that he
has not become backslider. The
people nowadays are "from Missou-
ri' and want to be shown.
The Tribune is not republican
paper and does not desire to mix in
regarding the choice Of the republic
can candidates, except to the extent
of informing the people what the
several candidates stand for. The
Tribune considers the county option
law the most important question
now before the people Of this state
it; believes that the people want
that law; hence it desires earnestly
to know definitely where the sever
al candidates stand on the PROPOSE
ton. Let US have square deal'
in this important matter. 1t is a
good thing for a candidate to have
a good record; but that does not
excuse him from taking a definite
position as to the public questions
now up for solution.
