Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,

passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or

times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of Swamp-ROot is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-

Following 10 = personaI tribute
TO Congressman Polndexter, who
has announced his candidacy for
the United States senate:
BY JOHN De WITT.

Do you know Judge Poindexter?
If you do, not, it would be well
worth your while to get acquainted
with him. Some day you will be
called upon to give your vote at the
primaries as to who your choice
for senator will be-. OF course, you
want to choose the best man. The
only way to do this Is to study
each candidate.
Judge Poindexter combines the
dignity Of Judge, tn ecourtesy of
the Virginian and the aggressive
fighting qualities of the soldier,
which all help to make up man
who does things.
Here Is a man who turned aside
Aldrich & Co., and their friends,
sacrificing his own self interests to
work as the peoples man in the
peoples interest.
Senator La Toilette, when here
recently, pal him the highest of
compliments.
Now, study for yourself his rec
ord He always stands for the
right against the might, and 1t gen.
orally costs something to do this.
At the last primaries, prominent
business man offered the odds Of
2 to / that he would not be elected.
My friend will have to guess again,
as you all know he won by a de-
cisive vote of 1874. Just after
this, my friend took trip to New
York. 1t may have been because
he was disguised with his own
Judgment. The people elected him
that time, and they may again.
Born April 90. 1868, at Memphis,
Tenn, he Is now Al years of age,
with all of his best faculties,
backed by vast experience, at the
service of the people. He moved
with his parents to Virginia when
he was three years of age. He
spent his hcool and college days
there, graduating from Washington
and Lee university at Lexington,
Va. He took both the classical and
law courses. Me came to the state
of Washington in 1891, located at
Walla Walla, practiced law there
WUNlHe W oIOkdHc III 1881, anu
ever since that time has served the
people in the offices of prosecuting
attorney. judge and congressman
In all Of these positions he has
shown aggressive personality and
kindness Of heart.
+ He comes to the people in the
state of Washington as their candi
date, to take the place of Senator
Piles, an avowed friend of the trust
period. He comes as the peoples
champion for the control of forests,
coal and water by the government
He is out and out for the progress
sive improvement of waterways.
He is in favor of more extensive
government irrigation. He desires
that the rights and interests Of
bona fide settlers in and about res
ervations should be protected. He
Is in favor of more comprehensive
laws in control of the railroads.
This is exactly what the majority
OF the people want, not only repub-
licans. but people of all parties.
There Is an element OF unrest
all about 1t. People are looking
askance at each other, and are say

ing to each other, Whom can we
trust?" About us is a mass Of rest
less humanity swirling and tossing
with the tide, dissatisfied with the
power manifested by larger cor
porations, longing for square deal
and getting more law than justice,
the victims of technicalities, sacri-
feed to the self interest of some
money power. Politics seems to be
a disease with lot of these office
holders. Once they get into office,
like the old man of the sea, they
hate to let go. Judge Poindexter
has been fighting just such condi-
tons. He stands high in an honor
able profession and in community
where he has the affection and re-
spect Of its citizens. Otherwise, he
could not have won by the major
ity he did in the last campaign.
The pay of the office does not at
tract him. He Is the avowde enemy
of the trust, and as such the posi-
ton of senator would give him the
opportunity of being the peoples
champion on the floor Of the senate
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-11-23

of the United States against the
trespass of the money power. In
cooperation with such men as SEN
ator La Toilette and others Of the
same stamp, he would be able to
WELD a mighty powerful good.
While he is fair to all, nothing can
get him from his ideas of right.
With him, honor is everything. AS
a southern man, he grew up with
these ideas in the cradle.
He is distinctly an exponent OF
Roosevelt's doctrines, which many
of the rank and file of the politi-
clans are trying to eliminate. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is shooting in At
RIGA; some day he will come back,
and then there will be something
doing" Probably no man stands
as high in the respect and good will
of his fellow citizens as Colonel
Roosevelt. He fought for certain
principles, and in spite of all sorts
of opposition, he won great bat
tie. His deeds are on record.
Now It Is up to the people
whether they desire such a man as
this to represent them on the floor
of the senate of the United States
or not.
Judge Poindexter will make q
tripe shortly through the Palouse
country, and leaves for Washington
about December 1.

there only eight prisoners incsrcerated at this
time. and that eight is the average number.
At the end Of the inspection the visiting party
held formal conference with the Mayor. Mag

magistrates. four grand juries and the Board of
Health unite in seeking appropriation Of $4,000

and undesirable. II also developed that the grand

The strength Of the express stocks caused re-

the last half-dozen years, that consolidation OF
the four great companies might be under negotia-

BILE quarters. The companies have long been close

but actual combination, it is believed. would not be
possible under the Sherman antitrust law.
Another report yesterday concerning the Wells
Fargo company that the contest for control OF
the property might be renewed, now that Mr.. Har-
riman under whose leadership the old manage
ment defeated the opposition in the sharp campaign
OF 1905 is dead. Still another rumor was that of

arrangement through which the company practical

in Mexico during the next ten years and perhaps
involving simply a distribution Of part OF the COM
pany's reserve of nearly S2OOOo,OOo.
The most notable distribution Of the kind was
in June 1907, when the Adams Express Company
declared 900 per cent dividend. in the shape OF an
issue of S24OOOO00 forty-year per cent collateral
trust distribution bonds.
The recent dividend record of the United States
