Stick Close to Aldrich.

Hope Pioneer: We are sorry tohave
to tell our readers that both of our
senators have taken refuge under the
all protecting wing of that arch con-
spirator and thief of American rights,
Aldrich. The man that last fall de-
claimed his allegiance to the interests
of the people, M. N. Johnson, is
especially worthy Of your careful con-
sideration when he comes before you
next time for your support. Two SEN
ators from progressive state having
the sublime nerve to come before the
people and make their promises jeal-
ously safeguarding, their constituents
interests in the halls of congress and
to be found bound hand and foot in the
camp Of the enemy presents problem,
we imagine, that will test their re-
sources of deceit to the limit. 1t
pays to elect men that have the in
terests of the people at heart and that
have sufficient influence to see that
their rights are protected, and johnson
offered his valuable services under
these representations, and as soon as he
gets chance, makes a graceful sur
render of the selfsame interests lock,
stock and barrel.

THE YoUNe MEN.

GLAD be the hearts of the young men,
and the feet of them, glad be they
That they walk in the morning meadows
and dance on the dewy way;
The strong men, the song men, the men
with the red blood will,
With their heads in the clouds of glory,
their feet on the hill!
GLAD be the hearts of the young men
~ and the lips Of them glad to sing
With the cry of the battle bugles and the
music Of spring;
The Drawn men, the dawn men, the men
who are iron and thew,
With their hopes in the faroff valleys
where the dreams come true!
GLAD be the hearts of the young men,
~ with, the forward looking, the hope,
Winged with the victory pinions where
the hills stand ope;
The steel men, the real men, the men who
must fight the fight,
Their feet on the steps of star-beam, their
souls in the light!
GLAD be the hearts of the young men,
~ with music of morning voice.
Life not world worn burden, but thing
to rejoice;
The new men, the true men-glad be the
ages they come
When the old gods sleep in the trenches
and the trumpets are dumb!

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. An Oakes 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 urin-
ary 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
Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills
which are caused by weak or diseased
kidneys. Oakes people testify to per-
manent cures.
Mrs. J; T. Scott, oakes, n. D.,
says: "About a year ago my husband
began to suffer from sharp pains in his
kidneys, also through the loins and
hips. At lines the trouble was so So
we're that it was almost impossible for
him to stoop. Other symptoms showed
that his kidneys were badly out of or
der and so he procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at S. L. Harris drug
store. The best possible results fol-
lowed and when he had taken the con-
tents of two boxes, cure resulted.
He is glad to recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills to others suffering from kid
ney complaint.
For sale by all dealers. Price so
cents. Milburn Co., Buffalo,
New York, sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name-Doan's-
take no other.

The commission form of government
failed to carry in Fargo by margin of
SO votes. This is the first city in the
state to defeat the plan. Mandan was
the first to adopt it, then came Bis
marck, then Minot-and the cities Of
Grand Forks and Valley City are
agitating the adoption of it. One un-
pleasant feature in voting on change
of this kind is that it hints on bad
management and corruption of the
officials under the present system.
While this may be true of some of the
larger cities of the country it is not be-
lieved that there is any deep-seated
mismanagement of the cities of q
young state such as ours.

THE INSURGENTS, PROTEST.

w. w. Jermane, the Washington
correspondent of the Minneapolis
Journal, said in an article in last Sun
days issue;
The upward revision tendencies of
the senate bill are due almost entirely
to the senators representing the nine
intermountain and Pacific states-Mon-
tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
Utah, Wyoming, Colorado. Nevada and
California. The products of these
states are raw materials, and they are
few in number. The desire of the SEN
ators from these states, therefore,
when revision became a certainty, was
to secure for these raw materials as
high rate of duty as possible. Sen
ator Aldrich, charged with responsible
ity for putting the tariff bill through
the senate, was compelled to make
these high-tariff senators a part of his
combination.
Although the combination was
against the interests of the central
Northwest, the senators from North
Dakota voted with the combination.
The Pacific coast states, by giving into
Vic SO11OA4caeAoA, WS1C pAOi1lSeO AlS uST
duties on lumber, yet our own Senator
McCumber was found making an ex-
tended speech for free lumber, and
when it came to vote he decided with
the East and West combination. 1t
was the same on other industries of
the west.
But it was no fault of our senators if
the duties are lowered on some of the
things that are not grown in our state,
yet much needed. Rather be it to the
credit of the ten northwestern senators
who entered a protest by voting
against the Aldrich bill. 1t was their
votes that caused the president and
leading men of the republican party to
sit up and axe notice. The party
needs the central Northwest to carry
an election, and the protests that went
to Washington-and from our own
state they were numerous-has had it's
effect and there now appears ten
tency to make concessions. 1t is best
that the leaders halted long enough to
look over the situation before going
too far. The insurgents" protest
may do our state much good.

Judge Pollock has declared malt an
Intoxicating liquor under the law, and
the case will go to the supreme court
for final adjudication. This will put a
ban on the sale of malt, the name by
which an inferior beer was brewed and
put on the market. A man should gel
two years for brewing the "stuff" and
the man who drinks it should get not
less thai four.

Senator McCumber hopes to fool the
people by sending out a speech at pub.
lie expense on free lumber, when really
the senator voted tariff of $500 pei
thousand feet on unfinished lumber.
The senator has the faculty of talking
one way to please his constituents anc
another way to please "the interests
he is serving.

The citizens of Hillsboro and Stark
weather sent long petitions to Senators
Nelson and Clapp Of Minnesota en-

the Sheldon Progress to remark that if
Senator Nelson would file his petition
at Bismarck for United States senator
from North Dakota at the primaries
next June, he would carry off the
nomination.

have been wondrously we'll placed not

ways. Today the skirt just covers the

hardly a skirt at all. for when mount

back and covers only the outside of
the figure. The breeches are made of
coat. so even if the skirt should sep

PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE
APRIL GRANDMOTHER

ameIiorated Moreover. to put the
fingers upon the lips-or. indeed. upon
any part of the face-is breach of eti-
quette which a surprising number of
well bred young girls utterly disre-
gard.
IAN upper lip that is too long should
not be made longer by pressing 1t
downward and concealing the teeth"
continued the April Grandmother. Far
better cultivate the habit of slightly
lifting and curling the upper lip in or
der to make it appear shorter.
Girls who know that their teeth ars
beautiful are apt to smile too broadly
as we'll as too frequently. They open
their mouths widely in order to exhibit
a double row of faultless worries, and
by so doing stretch their lips out of
shape and acquire an unnatural ex-
preston. simply because their eyes are
not smiling at the same time. The per-
petual upraise of the lips is infinitely
preferab BILE to the down drawn manner.
but nevertheless the forced smile in
time degenerates into a smirk. That ex-
pression is certain to cause a network
of tiny lines about the mouth, corners
which no amount of massage cream can
eradicate. and the oobweb effect is
usually a prophecy of a prematurely
middle aged appearance"
