Oh, you stupid legislature!
Do you think the lovely crature'
VIII be told her head adornment
Must not run to this or that!
Will the heady. naughty beauty
Own it's in your line OF duty
To make rules and regulations
Touching on my lady's hat?
Mighty questions you may grapplo
AS boy toys with an apple
That concern financial matters
Or the way to run the cars.
But to dip in light and airy
Where an angel might be scary
Only gets you in a tansle,
Only carries to you jars.
If 1t looks to you so simple
That the creature with the dlmple
Should be broken of the habit
While the thing is yet In style,
Could be made to trim her bonnet
With less fruit and feathers on 1t
And would cut it one inch smaller.
You would make the wise ones smile
She will wear it as she pleases.
You may bottle up your breeZes
Or direct them in channel
Where results at times accrue.
If you monkey with the feather
Or the way she puts together
Hat and bonnet, she may saunter
With hatpin after you.

Notes From Washington
From our Regular Correspondent.

A special message to Congress
from the President urging the
adoptionof the tax on the net
earnings of corporations, which
he has advocated in private con-
versations, whichAhe has advoca
ted in private conversation with
the leaders, was not considered
necessary to the success of this
proposition, but it is believed
that such message will make
clearer the course of certain
senators who stood committed
to the income tax; that it will
give proper assurance to those
Senators and to their cOnstitu
ents that the proposed amend
ment to the constitution author
izing the assessment of an in
come tax will be adopted in good
faith; and that it will have in
fuence in bringing the House
leaders to accept the special tax
imposed by the Senate in lew of
the inheritance tax provided by
by the House. 1t is generally
admitted that the adoption of
President Taft's proposition by
the Senate leaders places him in
a commanding position and rem
ders him most important factor
to be dealt with in all the i'm
portant factor to be dealt with in
all the important legislation
which may be undertaken during
his administration. When one
recalls the supreme independ-
ence and complete seif-sufficiency
of the republican organization
in the Senate in past years, the
true significance of M. Aldrich 3
action in going to the President
and confessing his inability to
head off the income tax move
ment without the assistance of
the Executive, is apparent.
There is perfect cooperation
between the President and
the Senate organization, and
many do not hesitate to
say that such cooperation
points the way to Repu blican
victory; that it insure to the
administration, including the
executive and both of the legis-
lative branches, breath of
direction, a progressiveness of
thought and an effectiveness
of execution impossible of attain
ment where any one of the three
coordinate powers is unable to
maintain an independence and
an insulation as complete as has
for years characterized the posi-
ton of tho upper house of Con-
greSs.

And so it is with all the other sym
tons of kidney disorders, That is
just where the danger lies. You

may lead to diabetes or Bright s
decease. The best remedy to use is
Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures all
which are caused by weak or d.
seased kidneys. Washburn people
testify to permanent cures.
Margaret Sands, Third St.. Wash

words of praise for Doan's Kidney
Pills. For some time [ have suffered
from weak kidneys and my whole
system seemed to be filled with uric
poison. | was subject to dizzy
spells and often I had difficulty in
breathing. The kidney etions
were unnatural and I felt mis- era BILE.
I finally procured Doan's K duey

$50 acres. The ownership is in que3-
ton on account of the shifting chan
mel of the Rio Grande river.

agreement the escort is limited to
twenty while the executives are
crossing "Chamizal."

return to Mexico, accompanied to the
boundary by the same escort.

in crossing eel Chamizal' will be ac-
companied by an escort of twenty
