One Conductor who was Cured.

Mr.. Milford Adams is his name, and he
writes about it.-"Some time ago 1 was
confined to my bed with chronic rheuma-
tism. I used two bottles of Fo1ey's Kid
ney Remedy with good effect, and the
third bottle put me on my feet and l re-
sumed work as conductor on the Lexing-
ton, KY, Street Railway. 1t gave me
more relief than any medicine l had ever
used, and it will do all you claim in cases
of rheumatism" Fo1ey's Kidney Remedy

uric acid from the blood. &C. Bingham.

The Promotion idea.


We do not believe in the idea of pro-
noting the Lieutenant Governor unless
that official has that real ability which
would commend him as candidate for
the positioni if he did not preside over the
Senate The duties devolving upon the
Lieutent Governor do not tend to fit him
for the position of Chief Executive. 1t is
his duty to preside over the dellbera-
tions of the Senate aud the joint assem-
bly,. He is sort of a parliamentary
umpire. If the Governor lives out his
term of Office the Lieutenant Governor
joins the ranks of political has-beens. in
which organization custom accords him
very respectable position.
1t might be otherwise if we exercised
more care in the selection of candidates
for the second position. Too often the
lieutenant governorship is the subject
of trade. When we trade men into
Office we invariably get weak men, and
weak men are not deserving of promo
ton and the state cannot afford to pro-
mote them. We write this without a
single desire TO reflect in the least upon
any man who has served as Lieutenant
Governor. 1t is an honorable position,
and we ought at all times to exercise as
much care in the selection of the candi-
date for it as in selecting candidates for
Governor. The lieutenant governorship
should never be permitted to be used by
incompetent men as stepping stone to
get into the executive chamber.-[ Deer

Practical Test for Bows.

The offer of T. N. Vail to give through
the Caledonia County Fair Association
the boys of Caledonia county prizes for
products from given area of soil is one
that should develop the boys in this sec
ton. In the first place it calls for a test
of boys practicability because he must
work the matter out with his own hands.
Then he must have a sense of proprietor
ship in the soil as this is distinctly his
own venture. 1t will open the mind of
the boy to modern methods because he
must employ the best methods known if
he is to win the prize. All of these
things will tend to increase the boys in
terest in agriculture and so will have
beneficial effects.
There is one more suggestion in this
contest. Here is Mr.. Vail a man o
immense wealth offering prizes, not for
smart boys, nor boys with wealthy
parents, nor boys merely popular in
their neighborhood, but prizes for boys
who prove by practical test that they
can do things. This is a call from a
wealthy man. for the growing boys of
this section to take hold and show what
they can do. In this matter Mr.. Vail is
voicing the call of the day for boys who
can show they have ability to do things.
In entering this contest the boys are fit
| ting themselves to respond to the call
| that will come to them over and over
| again before they will be called successful.
| These reasons make it desirable for bows
to enter the contest not simply for the
| prize but for their own development.
In the death of Gen. W. H. Gilmore
Vermont loses one of its grandest men.
Plain, unassuming but intensely loyal he
has been one of the most fitting repre-

General Gilmore the people felt strong

The official vote of Stevens
county was canvassed this week
and shows a total of 427O votes
cast in the county, as against
. 5000 at the general election two
years ago.
The way in which republican
plurality was cut down in Ste
vens county shows a general re-
versal of political sentiment, and
the extent to which this move
ment will reach at the next cleo
ton is now the problem. A wave
of democracy is sweeping west
ward, and as all learning seems
to come from the east, along
with millinery fashions and dime
novels, it may be that the full
line may be here by the next
election.
Township organization was de-
feated, the vote for it being 2O42,
or "a short of the required num-
ber to carry it.
The amendment vote to pro-
vide method Of governors sue
cession was 1912 for and 345
against.
The woman suffrage amend
ment carried in this county by a
large vote, 1894 votes being
registered for it; 661 took the
trouble to vote against it.
Fosters election by such an
overwhelming reversal of plural
ity shows that there is demand
for the best talent in the public
school system, and although some
of the brave republican papers
claimed that Bowler was all right
and that his trial was trumped
up for political reasons, the pub
lie took chances on the best man
without regard for party or
papers. Foster holds the high
est educational qualifications of
any man who ever ran for super
intendent of schools here, and
his character and past work in
the office elected him.
Beggs was "beaten by nose"
and Ledgerwood by but little
more. Both of these men have
done good work in the county
offices, but since republicans in a
republican county are entitled to
republican office, they must give
way to supporters of the grand
old party" which has given up
the ghost in the east but still
manages to keep alive in the
west.
Perhaps the greatest surprise
in the election was the defeat Of
Rockford for prosecuting attor-
ney, but it goes to show that
law enforcement is something of
a false alarm in this county, and
that the "wets" still control the
situation politically. Mr.. Roch-
ford was not anxious for the job
and filed for office only after
considerable urging, as his pro-
fession nets him considerably
more than is to be had from the
office, but after being beaten by
both Kirkpatrick and Stull it is
not likely he will take the trouble
to file any more, regardless of
requests from the so-called law
enforcement people.

may then register and vote on
all questions. This right will
probably include the vote at the
coming city elections. They are
also eligible for jury duty, the
only qualification being that they
must be taxpayers. The suffrage
amendment is carried by vote
of about 3 to 2 throughout the
state.
Political maneuvers bring
strange results in some places.
In Wisconsin they have the 20%
primary law, supposed to have
been passed for the purpose of
keeping the socialist ticket off
the ballots. Yet this year the
democrats failed to get out 300
of their vote at the primary, and
the democratic ticket therefore
did not appear on the election
ballots, leaving the socialist and
republican tickets the only ones.
The democrats voted with the
republicans to beat the socialists,
but one socialist succeeded in
getting to congress, the first one
in the history of this country;
the other socialists were beaten.
The republicans have been de-
claring they are not responsible
for high prices, and yet have al
ways charged the democrats for
being responsible for low prices.
1t must be poor rule that works
for the republicans both ways.
J. C. Harrigan has been Sc
lected by Governor Hay as the
delegate from Stevens county
to the Trans Mississippi Com
mercial Congress at St. Louis
which begins Nov. 22. Repre-
sentatives are being named from
35 counties in the state.
At a prayer meeting in the

In Washington the law pro-
vides that teachers holding COM
mon school certificates can Sc
cure first grade certificates by
passing an examination in the
various branches with a stand
ing of 900 or more, and that if
they have already secured such a
standing in certain branches, no
further examination need be
taken as to those branches. H.B.

instruction, states that he will
gladly advise any teachers of the
branches in which such teacher
has already obtained a standing
of 90% or more, to enable such
teacher to prepare for an exami-

The upper house at the next
session of the legislature will
contain 81 republicans out of a
total of AZ. Of the % seats filled
at Tuesdays election, the repub-
licans won 18 and the democrats 5.
With the 19 republican holdover
senators, this gives the party's
strength at 81 to 5 for the dem
ocrats.
The democrats will also have
very meager representation in
the lower house, only II of their
candidates being successful in
landing a place.
Downward revision of the tar
iff at once is the pledge made for
! the new democratic house by
Champ Clark, candidate for the
speakership.
''The landslide is in line with
my predictions of months ago, s."
said Congressman Clark. "The
people are tired of the present
administration and are provoked
to just the extent that the re-
turns indicate with the tariff de-
ception.
"The first and greatest prop
osition' the democrats should
stand for is a reduction in the
tariff to a revenue basis. l would
reduce it scientifically and grad
ually and put into it a sliding
scale much like there was in the
tariff bill of 1868.
"There is no question but what
the democrats will be on their
good behavior in the next con-
gress and the future of our party
will depend largely on our con-
duct. Democrats now have a
golden opportunity for conserva-
tive craftsmanship and should
seize it and demonstrate once
more their fitness for legislating
wisely and patriotically."
It is stated by Attorney Cen
eral w. P. Bell that as soon as
the returns for the election held
Nov. 8 are certified to the gov
ernor by the state canvassing
board, and a proclamation is
issued by the governor, women
in this state will be entitled to
vote, and that no further action
by the legislature is necessary.
There were only three straight
republican, four straight demo-
cratic and four straight socialist
votes cast in the Orient precinct.
The others were all mixed. And
by the way, the three socialist
voters evidently do not believe
in initiative and referendum as
they failed to exercise their SOW
ereign rights in voting on the
constitutional amendments.

him to win at evens and those who
think otherwise can send the dough

Jeffries has shown his local friends

that is all they wanted to know. That
he outclasses all such fighters as John
