time, t; place second to none on the
floor Of the House, do not feel like
surrendering it until the people
have SO long represented and who
have been SO kind to me, declare they
no longer want the place. 1t is a
position that belongs to my State, u
position that the people Of the State
are all interested in. The Chairman
ship Of the Committee on the .Judici-
cinry is only gained after years of
faithful and Industrious service. 1t
has never been held by Il Representa-
tive from the Northwest heretofore.
The duties OF the position have been
so close and required such constant
attention that | have had 10 time to
give to political organization, htliev-
ing that the people had endeayoreG
to serve SO faithfully would appre-
ciate my work in this position. To
day the Judiciary Committee Of the
House is the custodian e more
matters OF public interest than
was ever cOnitlttl to the care OF any
other Committee OF the House. The
labor of considering these great ma
tional propositions is OF such magni-
tude that my time has been con
stantly employed from early morning
until late at night. In all OF these
matters my best energies and my
best thoughts have been given in tie
interest OF the people and thier rights
carefully guarded.

this great question will have my ac-

My position on the power of the Gov
eminent to regulate the railway
companies has, in fact, been more ad-
vanced than almost any other man
in public life. My researches have
firmly convinced me of the absolute
power of the Government, without
any limitation whatever, to control
all transportation lines.
Am in favor OF revision OF the
tariff on protective lines, having in
view at all times the protection OF
the American farmer and labOrer as
well as every other industry in the

Dedicated to the Improved Order of Grafters
by the author, w. H. II, Ingle.
JAMES v:1-6
This world is full of people,
Some wise and some are not;
Few live a life like Abraham,
But millions live like Lot:
They neither follow herding sheep
Nor any honest craft.
The only thing they think about
Is some easy way to graft.
Not like the honest widow,
Who cast in her only mite.
They never give penny
To send the heather light.
Am | my brothers's keeper"
Like Cain, they always ask,
When pressed to do some duty
Or little Christian task.
They all act some like Balaam,
Who tried his very best
To curse Gods chosen people,
Whom God himself had blessed.
They never get an honest cent
By any kind Of toll,
But make million dollars
On boost in Standard Oil
They don't believe the Bible,
They say the book is stale;
They contradict the story
Of Jonah and the whale
They like to teach young people
That the whole book is not true,
For Christ said, do to others
AS you'd have them do to you. "

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Ladysmith Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them


Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when uri-
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself And so it is with
all the other symptoms of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they may lead to diabetes or Bright's
disease. The best remedy to use is
Doans Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills
which are caused by weak or diseased
kidneys. Ladysmith people testify to
permanent cures.
Mrs Pierce Brown, living in the
eastern part of Ladysmith, Wis, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills did wonders for
my little daughter. She complained of
pains in her back and her kidneys gave
her great deal Of trouble by their too
frequent action. She seemed to have
no control at all over the kidney secre-
tions. | consulted physician but she
not get any satisfactory results from
his medicine. | at last heard of Doan's
Kidney Pills and procured box at
MONEYS Pharmacy. They helped her
Immediately and she is now better than

Farmer Had the Advantage

A farmer near Racine, Wis, was
driving Il loaded manure spreader on
the road going to Il field. A team OF
horses was pitched to the rig, which
ing but very little room for anyone
to pass without driving down into
u ditch.
An automobile appeared. There
were four persons in the car, two
men and two women. They wanted
to pass the farmer and footed their
horn to let him know they were be-
hind him. For all the farmer cared
there was no horn on the auto. At
least he pretended that he did not
hear.
Well, after hOnking for about five
minutes, the automobile approached
the spreader close enough so that the
driver could tell the farmer what he
thought OF him. He became too
abusive, however, and then it was
the farmers time to act. The spread
er was well filled with the fertilizer
and the farmer touched the button.
You should have seen the automo-
bile party five minutes after that
spreader had been turned loose. 1t
was about the maddest bunch OF
of auto enthusiasts you ever saw,
but they couldn't 90 a thing. The
driver, not stopping to waste any
words upon h e farmer, simply
turned around and started back to
town to prepare for another start.

new play. "A Gentleman from Missis-
sippi," Of which Thomas 4. Wise, IS
co-author. make the following announce
ment regarding the character of the
play, its purpose, its story and the gen
eral outline Of the plot
"A Gentleman From Mississippi con-
Germs the political activities Of William
II. LangdOn. a Junior politician from
the State Of Mississippi (played by
Thomas A. Wise) and his private sec
rotary (played by Douglas Fairbanks.
The Senator is a man who has risen
10 prominence in politics through his
absolute regard for honesty and probity.
Without any connection with any ''Or-
SanizatiOn," ne has been backed by this
element in his own State; and In a
mea sure which affects not only the well
fare of mis- own constituents but the
country-at-large, there is revealed to
him the fact that some venal purpose
Underlies the passage Of a bill, and this
knowledge and its stoppage and his at
titpde brings about the climax Of the
comedy
The secretary Of the Senator-"Bud'
affairs has made him conservative TO a
superlative degree. resigns from his po-
sition under the misrepresentation that
his employer knows of the dubious pur-
pose Of a group of politicians who have
played upon the Senator's patriotism
and induced him to present the measure
before the Senate.
Between the Senator and his faithful
secretary there arises a misunderstand-
ing, each thinking the other crooked,
and the unweaving of these cOmplica-
lions are graphically described from the
rise TO the fall Of the curtain The
knowledge that his daughter and his
son have entered into a speculation
which may impUgne their honor affords
opportunity for several very tense
dramatic scenes. and the Senator's tri-
umph in matter which involves his
domestic happiness. and the quantity
humorous rote which is sounded in the
succeeding scenes, furnishes the comedy
element OF the play. A light and graphic
love story is threaded through the en-
tire performance.
