FINANCIAL REFORM is
SLOGAN NOW IN JAPAN
Great Reductions Contemplated in
Army and Navy Program-cabi-
net Totters Before Public
Opinion

TOXIC, June 10, via San Francisco,
July 7.-"Financial reform" is now the
slogan in Japan. 1t is heard on every
side, in politics and out of it.
Twelve months ago there was merely
a small stir over the question of finance
and the policy of the government To-
day the cabinet totters before the storm
of public opinion, and the dictum of
the day is retrenchment of naval and
military expenditures, reforms of the
tariff and a restoration of the balance
of trade.
The railway naturalization scheme
Is still under discussion. 1t is believed
taht for the present the idea of COM
plete standardization has been aban-
doned and that the railway will be
made a separate department. Great re-
auctions are contemplated in the army
and navy program and every effort VIII
be made to develop resources.

DENVER, July 1.-THE credentials
committee met at p. m. in Fraternity
hall, but was delayed for some time
in beginning it's work because Of the
lack of stenographer. Christopher G..
Callahan of Holyoke, Mass. was, elected
chairman, and D. H. Limbaugh of
Atoka, Okla, was made secretary.
Five states and the District of Column
bia gave notice of contest, and each
contest was limited to thirty minutes
for argument, time for presentation OF
evidence to be unlimited. State no.
tices were received from Pennsylvania,
Idaho, Illinois, Ohio and New York. 1t
was decided that all committeeman
whose states had contests should be
excluded from the room until ad1udica-
ton was made in the fights in which
they were interested,
When the committee had been in ses-
sion for three hours the Idaho case was
still under consideration, and Attorney
John F. Nugent of Idaho, who Is con-
Quoting the contest, was still busy with
his second witness. The limitation of
thirty minutes a side applying only TO
the arguments and there being no
limitation upon the amount or dura-
ton of the taking of evidence, it began
to look as If the Idaho case might last
all night and indefinitely delay the
hearing of the Pennsylvania and other
contests
The Idaho cases involve the entire
state legation-fourteen seats After
an extended executive session the COM
mittee decided 1t would be proper to
hear the evidence offered by the con-
testants, and the hearing accordingly
began in open session.
The vote of. the committee as to
whether the contestants would be heard
was % to 10. The discussion was heated
at times, and the interest of the COM
mittee was aroused.
AS soon as the open session was re-
sumed Attorney Jackson opened for
the contestees. The members of the
who were without dinner
were growing impatient with the
amount of time consumed by the Idaho
people Mr.. Jackson's argument tended
to show that the Dubois faction had
a clear majority of the Twin Falls con-
vention, claiming 1851 votes to 1O01a
for the contesting delegation. He was
interrupted almost every moment by
questions of the committeeman.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the
digestive juices. and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted upon
in such way as to produce the rich,
red blood that flows through the veins
of our body and thereby makes US
strong, healthy and robust, and it is the
weakening of these digestive juices that
destroys health. 1t is our own fault if
we destroy our own health, and yet It
is so easy for any one to put the stomach
out Of order. When you neel to take
something take it promptly, but take
something you knowis Kaleidoscope
thing like Kodol For Dyspepsia and In

is reliable and is guaranteed to give re-
lief. 1t is sold by all druggists.

ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor of the King, Drag,
Discovered His Method.

Discovered His: Method.
d. Ward King Of Maitland, Mo-, in
ventor Of the King, method of road
dragging, has a theory which, practice
has demonstrated to be, correct. 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
be dragged with light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
1t leaves a roadbed as smooth and per-
feet as city street
The discovery of this method and, the
more important discovery of Mr. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on a small but well improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
movement as a national or state issue,
but the four miles of road from his
farm to Maitland were OF great interest
to him, says the St. Louis Globe-DemO-
crat. The road was Of that soft, sticky
red clay that In wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels In great Jumps and
dry weather is as hard as a rock and
almost as Injurious to wagon tires.
Passing wagons In wet weather would
dig deep ruts, and when the road dried
up, the ruts would remain. at best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at a good price and
Mr.: King had many bushels OF 1t the
road would be so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again
After many experiments he con-
structed a small, light drag, using two
old tfmbers connected with light strips,
and began to drag the road in front OF
his residence. After each rain he
would run the drag over It, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
mp It was in perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many OF his
nelghbOrs told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved
that Kings method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
Of his farm. His neighbors took It up,
and in a few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
IN Missouri.
George B. Ellis, secretary OF the state
board Of agriculture, heard OF Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak at the farmers institute
In his neighborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, ne
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for series Of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and is
devoting all OF his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri and hundreds of con-
verts have been made. After every
rain In Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the roads In front Of their farms,
and the number Of these volunteer
road workers is increasing every week.

orders quietly to those who came run

they got sand enough to quench the
fire and men sufficient to lift the
