 Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures. Bridgeport people testify.
 Here's one case of it:
 Mrs. John Doyle, A Clarence St., Bridgeport. Conn.,. says: My husba nd was a victom of kidney trouble and suffered from severe headaches and pains in his loins. Whenever he caught cold, it settled in his kidneys, and at such times the pains would be doubly severe. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, he procured a supply, used them as directed and found prompt re- lief. Continuing their Use he rapidly grew better until cured. I have also taken Doan's Kidney Pills with good results and have recommended them on several occasions"

How did Speaker Banks vote upon the Senat torial question, is a matter which is under discussion. Some find an answer in the committee assign ments, claiming that they reveal a ro-Brandegee bias and that Hill SUD- porters were discriminated against. Others find in MT. Kenealy's strenuous support of Banks for Speaker proof that the latter voted for Brandegee. Still others assert that he voted for Hill, but without advancing any proofs.
 The Farmer does not know how Speaker Banks voted. It can, how ever, say that as the machine candi- date for Speaker, he was under a moral obligation at least to support the machines candidate for Senator, Brandegee.

ible" to places on the proposed Public Utilities commission, whether they happen or not to be shippers or to be owners of stock
 It may be, as the Courant suggests, that no Governor would dare to ap- point corporation tools, if stockholders were made elegible to the commission, and yet it is a fact that once the bars are lowered, the commission will soon cease to be of value to the people. The safe way, the only safe way, is to exclude stockholders from the commis- sion. Thus only can an absolutely untainted commission be secured.

However greatly one may be inclin- ed to agree with Congressman Willettt in some of his characterizations of President Roosevelt, one cannot but re- gret that he carried his hostility to such extreme length. But it must be remembered that the President af- fronted Congressmen grossly in his annual message and reiterated the af- front in a special message and that the consequent feeling among them is one of bitterness. Willett expressed openly sentiments probably entertain ed by other members but withheld out of respect to the Presidential office.
