Hugh Fullerton has been revealing
some of these tactics. He describes
a play as the spectators beheld i.

did not observe. He says
WHAT they didn't see was that the

TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice VIII Help Many
Sufferer in Americas.

No woman can be healthy and we'll
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are we'll are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become inflamed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric acid poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatic
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are well. Let
an Americas woman tell about Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Allie L. Cobb, 2O5 Mayo St..
Amer.cus Ga, says:
81 suffered from kidney trouble for
several years. 1 was subject to at
tacks of pain in the small of my back
and at times l had headaches and felt
dull and languid. Some time ago I
was advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and / procured box at Dod-
sons Pharmacy. Since using them
have felt a great deal better. They
relieved me of the pains In my back
and restored my kidneys to "a normal

Alabama and Georgia were very close
together in every way and that both
were the most prosperous states in

begged that they be given little at

about to pass a railroad bill, would

that the very GROWING hope and de-
Sire of his life was to be of service to
his state and section He also made
the statement that the Ocean Steam

UNCLE SAM PROTECTS
THIS NATURAL BRIDGE
Utah Wonder Work Discovered by n
Piute Indian.

Washington, d. C. June President
Taft, upon recommendation of the
Secretary of the Interior, has issued Il
proclamation creating Rainbow
Bridge National Monument, a natural
wonder work discovered by a Piute
Indian within the Navajo Indian Res
eryation, near the southern boundary
of Utah.
The bridge not only has a symme-
trical arch below, but has a curved
surface above, thus presenting the
the form of a rainbow. It's height
above the water is 307 feet and its
span 27S feet. Under the provisions
of the national monument act 100
acres of land surrounding the bridge
are reserved for its protection.

DID ROOSEVELT PICK
TAFT FOR HIS WEAKNESS
Is Now Charged Against
the Colonel.

i Chicago, June 7.-Governor Thoma!
R. Marshall, of Indiana, is one thu
many politicians in this part of tn,
country who think that Col. Roose
welt has an ambition to serve thirt
term in the-@whitehouse, and in al
address delivered recently he open
ly charged the former president will
scheming to bring about his renom
ination when he secured the nomina.
ton of President Taft as his success
sor.
Governor Marshall, after delineat-
ing the weaknesses of Mr.. Taft and
roundly roasting the republican tariff
paid his respects to Roosevelt. 81 pre-
dicted when Taft was nominated" said
the governor, "and / repeat it, that
Roosevelt knew Mr.. Taft's weaknesses
and that he dictated his nomination
and election with the deliberate in
tention of making himself a candidate
for a third term.
Taft has the judicial temperament
and training, but that is not what the
people need" resumed the governor.
ITO illustrate, President Taft was a
party to the Payne-Aldrch tariff
He was present as judge when every
special interest in America presented
its claim. There was nothing dishOn-
est or crooked in this 1t was just
the judicial temperament at work bas-
ed upon evidence of only one side
submitted to the court
There was no attempt to determine
whether as a principle of political
economy there was not a great moral
question involved in taking money
from one mans pocket and puttt1s
it in another's.
Nearly all of the economic evils
of the present day have sprung from
that tariff, but the others have sprung
out of a condition of affairs for which
President Roosevelt was directly re-
sponsible.
Roosevelt was not a lawyer and
he never gave much consideration to
our system of government. He was
unwilling to admit that there were
three coordinate branches when he
made up his mind that he was right.
He believed that the constitution
should not stand between friends
The legislative department of the gov
eminent was browbeaten and the jul
dicial department was assaulted. /
am not defending them, but I am de-
Tending the old-fashioned idea of con-
stitutional government in America.
THE moment you substitute the
man for the government, democracy
has ceased to exist When we have
torn the constitution into tatters We
have no assurance that the govern
ment of the individually good man will
continue. A tyrannical man might
become president, and under Roose-
velt's presidents work untold injury
to the republic.
In Gov Marshal's opinion it is use
less to talk of democratic candidates
for the presidency. He declared that
the spirit of insurgency was abroad
and that the American people would
pick their own candidates in 1912,
and the president would not be elect
ed by the politicians.

LITTLE PROBLEM OF
LOVE iAND! MARRIAGE
Should financial Ability
PreCede a.PrOpOSaI?
By Barbara Boyd.

A man who is the support of {
mother and a widowed sister, witt
+ two children loves a girl most devoted
4 ly. But ne sees no prospect what
ever OF marrying her for years L
come, 50 he thinks he is in honor
bound to pay her no attentions what
ever that will lead her to suspect tina
he may care for her. She admiles
/ him greatly. Sometimes she admits
TO herself that she could love him. He
comes so near to her ideal that she
is Indifferent to the attentions o.
other men. And she is to some ex-
tent unhappy because he does moi
care for her.
Another man who is the support of
his parents loves a girl who supports
her father and mother. 1t is impos-
sioIa for them to marry, as he earns
only a moderate salary, with no i'm
mediate prospect of an increase. Yet
he has told her of lis love, they are
engaged, and two more happy people
would be hard to find. Their very
sacrifice seems to have made their love
finer and nobler 1t is a JOY to see
them together
Which is the better plan?
II man loves a girl but is not in a
position to marry because of his own
81 ftIessness or laziness, then he
should not ask her to marry him, nor
Try to win her affections, because
he is not worthy the love of a fine
gill. The fault is in his character,
not in his circumstances. He shouid
mend his ways before he thinks O.
marriage at all.
If man has some disease which he
knows will end fatally in a few years
or make him a burden for lie, he
should not try to win a girls affec.
tions and bring sorrow and trouble
into an otherwise care-free lite. lie
should be enough of a soldier to bury
his love and be the only one to suffer
because of it. If he has good reason
to suspect that the girl cares for Inn
then he can tell her of his love ana
