New York Tribune.
Mr.. Taft comes into office with a great
popular majority behind him. He will be
supported by a house of representatives
republican by a majority a little under a
hundred and a senate two-thirds republic
carr There will be no obstacle to his car
rying out the pledges of constructive legis-
lation given both in his speeches and in
the republican platform. His equipment
for discharging the duties of the presidency
Is superb and his political aims are high.
He will have an opportunity to impress
himself on history such as has been Of
fered to few of his predecessors. He will
live up to the possibilities Of his station
and the magnitude of his task.

Among other things by which the
incoming legislature may distinguish
itself is the enactment of a law which
will enable the people of Nebraska to
ascertain the outcome OF an election
within less than a week after the bal
lots are cast. There is no good reason
whatever why the expensive and la
borious task of collecting and compil-
ing election returns should be left to
the metropolitan newspapers. In other
states an official election bureau has
charge of this work and the law is SO
framed as to require immediate trans
mission of election figures to a central
authority, subject to severe penalties
for unnecessary delay or neglect.

Respect for Constitutional Usuxe..

Baltimore American.
1t is clear then, that the administration
will be marked by respect for constitutional
usages. 1t is clear that the recommenda-
ton or approval of statutes by the president
will be with wise appreciation of the JUS
tice involved and the probability of the
measure standing the tests of court review.
Hasty and preJudicial legislation will not
receive the sanction of Mr.. Taft. Yet he
will not be a man shackled, Prometheus-
like. to the rock of conservatism. He will
see that this country is always reaching out
and that he, more than any other man,
has steered his public course around every
headland of the country's political topog-
raphy.

Capital Seeking Work.
Boston Herald.

1t is the opinion OF the shrewdest finan-
ciers that within a few weeks capital will
be as eager for investment as during the
past year 1t has been reluctant. The
country is satisfied that it knows on what
lines the government will be conducted
for the next four years. AS these lines APP
parently will be those of conservatism.

restoration wave Of confidence. Hence, the

Mr.. Taft's administration will be a pro-
gressive administration 1t will not be a
crusade. That necessary preliminary to ad-
vance in a democracy has been accomp-
lished by Theodore Roosevelt. Upon its
foundation Taft will build strong and sure.

out the memory of our setbacks and our
errors and inspires a new faith in the sue

sent to an autopsy.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day, When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter Is left In the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, ,gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. But II you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Mrs. r. A. McLees, living on West
Main street, Walhalla, S. c., says:
TO say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
given me great relief Is expressing my
opinion of this remedy very mildly.
For some time l suffered from dull
headaches and had pains across my
kidney regions which often made me
feel miserable. I sent to DR.. j. w.
Bells drug store, procured a box Of
Doan's Kidney Pills, used them as

New York, May 20.-Because he
was about to be married again, Geo.

Jr., y ing on the floor by his side.
Both were dead.
There was a bullet hole in each
mans temple, and revolver was

WHALE STORY Relieved.
Gov. Hoch Proceeds to Settle Jonah.
and-the-Whale Controversy.

Governor u. w. Hoch, of Kansas,
and Bishop John w. Hamilton, Of
San Francisco, addressed monster
mass meeting of workingmen at
Ford's Opera House, Baltimore, re-
Gently, during the Methodist Gene
raj Conference.
| Governor Hoch is typical West
erner, though he is by birth a Ken
tuckian. He is strongly built, of
dark complexion, and long black hair
crowns his head
He proceeded to settle the Jonah
and-the-whale controversy He had
said he was an old-fashioned believer
In the Bible, for he believed in it, as
did the pioneer preacher, from
"kiver to kiver" and then he added,
the whale story and ALL" There
was hearty laugh in the audience,
and the Governor added that he had
to admit that the whale story used
to cause him the greatest trouble.
"How about it now?" came voice
in the audience. &
| "Well, I'll tell you," said the Gov
ernor. II was at the Worlds Fair,
and l suppose many of you were
there, and saw the skeleton of the
whale I did, and since seeing that
skeleton, l have been satisfied with
the whole story. That skeleton was
eighty feet long, and the great jaw
bones were propped open for a door
way. Inside was an exhibit, and men
and women used to go in to see it.
Why, you could drive a horse and
wagon into 1t. That settled the
question for me, though have some
times wondered how the whale ever
discovered that Jonah was there.
II am not preacher, but If l had
my life to live over again, / believe 1
would be one. The longer l live the
more appreciate the fact that the
best thing in this life is to do good"
labor Dignified.
He said that God had stamped
dignity on the laborer, and God was
the greatest laborer the world has
known. He declared that no man
has right to be idle, and that no
lazy man can become a Christian.
whats the matter with the Harry
Thaws of this country?" he shouted.
"They never knew honest toll.
God worked six days and rested
the seventh. You laboring men
should rest. If the capitalists, in
their cupidity, or the trusts in their
greed, ever succeed in forcing you
workingmen to work seven days
they will have struck the greatest
possible blow to mankind. Working
men, you should stand in solid
phalanx for protecting the holy Sab
bath day"
Don't talk of the churches as q
closed shop. 1t Is the only institu.
tion that takes man in who has
nothing, and gives him everything
1t Is the only institution that takes a
man without a recommendation and
sends him forth with the best to be
