says: I am recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills in the hope that other
persons suffering from kidney trouble
may derive benefit from the use of
this remedy. For some time was
feeling quite miserable, suffering
from kidney complaint. l noticed
that my kidneys were disordered
and at last decided to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. I have not used them
as regularly as I should, but never
theless have derived great deal of
benefit. I fell inch stronger than
before taking them, and that tired,
languid feeling has become a thing
of the past"

GEN. Lee MONUMENT
. TO Be DEDICATED
the B0fS OF THE A. g. N. COLLEGE
HAVE BEEN TRYIEG TO RAISE
THE MONEY.
WCKSBURG ON JUNE 11th

The graduates of the A. and
M. College and the young men
who have ever attended the
great institution, are asked to
contribute to the fund that is
being raised to erect a monument
to the memory of Gen. S. d. Lee,
and the college has sent out the
following:
The monument of General S.
D. Lee will be unveiled and dedi-
Gated in Vicksburg on June 18th
next. Captain VIM T. Rigby,
chairman of Vicksburg National
Military Park Commission. in
forms me that this monument will
be a fine standing bronze statue
of Lee, in heroric size, as he was
in 1863, and it will be placed on
Confederate avenue in the Vicks-
burg National Military Park, on
the line Of his brigade during the
defense of Vicksburg. This
statue will cost ten thousand
dollars, of which our fellow alum
nus, Blewett Lee, viii contribute
one half. Contributions to the
sum have already been made
from twenty three states and
from the city of Washington, d.
c., showing a National interest
in this work Of patriotic love.
This movement, furthermore. is
the outgrowth of public senti-
ment which demanded a perma-
nent memorial to the soldier,
citizen, educator, patriot. His
participation in the wonderful de-
fense of Vicksburg was perhaps
the greatest achievement of his
military career, and this life size
monument will stand for the
coming years as a memorial to
his devotion to the Lost Cause. "
Captain Rigby extends through
written invitation a very cordial
invitation to every alumnus to be
present at the unveiling and ded-
ication June IL, at 2 p. m.--

The Mayor and Board of Al
dermen had meeting and after
considering several bids have
awarded the contract for the po-
lice and firemen's uniform for
the spring, to the Peerless Tailor
ing Co. Chief Munger was hard
to fool, he certainly knows a
good thing when he sees it, he
wants his men to look like real
policemen. Mr.. Harry Green
stone and Mr.. Joe Simpson at
the head of the Peerless Tailor
ing Co. seem to have satisfied
the city of Columbus as to their
ability, they are the boys who
know their business. Mr.. Green
stone has followed the tailoring
business all of his life. Mr..
Simpson has also spent the most
of his life in the tailoring busi-
ness and the city may feel
proud of these two gentlemen
who have selected Columbus as
their future home. The success
of the new concern is already
assured.

Land Board Enquiry and
Two Denver Newspapers.

AS might have been expected, the
Woodruff land board scandal now be-
ing Investigated by n legislative com
mittee has let down the bars for re-
newed strife between the Denver
News and Post. and they are taking
advantage of the opportunity. A
few days ago the Post published a
story to the effect that Edward keat-
ing, managing editor of the News,
with Judge Mullins and others of
Denver, had attempted to work a
questionable deal to secure owner
ship of 100, coo acres of valuable Routt
county coal lands. There is doubt
less little truth in the story, but
enough for these papers to hang a
fight on, and they are doing it to n
frazzle. Both these papers ought to
be barred from the mails until they
consent to act decently. Both claim
to be the only real boosters for Colo
RADIO in the newspaper line. yet two
thirds of the space in both papers has
been taken up for the past several
years in discussing personal animos-
tiles which no one but themselves
cares q tinker's dam about. If some
public spirited individual would some
time when the representatives of
these papers are busy quarreling,
quietly place good-sized load of
birdshot. at a medium short range, at
the spot where these quarrelers'
pajamas fit tightest it would doubt
less have beneficial effect. The
scheme works on dogs, and it ought
to be tried anyhow. Woodruff and
his land board crookedness, if there
has been any, should be thoroughly
Investigated, but it will never be of
any benefit in ferreting out crooked
ness to mix the investigation with a
generally obnoxious Denver newspa-
per flght.-Rifie Telegram.

The Fourth.

The Fourth of July WAS celebrated
with much spirit in and about this
city, but it WAS shameful day In one
respect at least. The noise was out
rageOus. Chinese bombs bursting
for two days and two nights are a
little too much. The Incessant noise
was especially outrageous around the
hospitals of the city, and must have
been tortue to the sick and nervous
within the hospital walls. Then
there is always more or less sickness
in private homes; there are men who
work all night and need sleep in the
day time, there are men who work all
day and need sleep at night, and to
have whole city distressed that
some boys and hOodlums may think
they are having good time, is not
fair. We hope that before another
Fourth of July steps will be taken to
insure its rational celebration

sane celebration of the Fourth, which
has taken hold in the east, is spread

What Is Democratic?

In II recent issue of The Coinmoner
William J. Bryan puts II few peril
nent pointers over the plate" as fol-
lows:
The Democrats who voted against
free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national
platform of the Democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction
Of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one of
the chief necessaries of life;
Voted to tax a material that enters
into multitude of industries, and
thus to place an unnecessary burden
upon these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit Of n
comparatively few owners Of timber
lands; and
Voted to tax IL majority of their
own constituents for the benefit of n
minority OF those constituents.
To cast such a vote Democrat
must have arguments that have not
yet been given to the public and
must be prepared to present these ar
guments to his constituents.
The Commoner will give space (up
to 1000 words) to any Democratic SELL
ator or member of congress who de-
sires to present an argument in favor
Of duty on lumber, provided he will
in his article answer the following
questions:
First, is a platform binding?
Second, is 1t wise to encourage the
devastation of our forests?
Third, will the country as whole
be benefited by II tariff on lumber,
and If so, how?
Fourth, how many of his constitu
ents produce lumber rs compared
with the number of his constituents
who use lumber?
Fifth, will he give the names of
the men who have by letter or in per-
son urged him to vote for the tariff
on lumber?
The Commoner also invites brief
letters from constituents who either
approve of or condemn the votes cast
by their Democratic senators or con-
gressmen. The COmmOner believes
that the Democratic senators and
members of congress who voted
against free lumber have greatly em-
barrassed the Democratic party,

Some weeks ago J. F. Harms. a
government inspector of the National
stockyards in st. Louis, resigned and
told a story of filth almost unbeliev-
able concerning the methods EN-
ployed in some of the packing houses
at that point. Recently two other
inspectors were guaranteed immun-
ity from discharge If they would tell
all they knew concerning the condi-
tions which Harms charged against
the packers. This they did, and
their stories, If anything, were worse
than that of Harms. Last Saturday
they were discharged, notwithstand-
ing the guarantee of immunity, which
indicates very strongly that the pack
ers have more to say rs to who shall
be employed by the government than
the government itself.-Rife Tele-
