According to the little girl, her

COUNTY COUNSEL
DENIES DECISION
WAS INFLUENCED
Opinion on Challengers in Pri-
maries Requested, Not
Volunteered, He Says.

This is the first time in my life that
have been deliberately accused OF
rendering an improper opinion or of
being improperly influenced in the
preparation of such an opinion" was
about all County Counsel Joseph l..
Mum cared to say today in reference
to the criticism of his opinion holding
that election officers have the sole right
to- challenge at the primary election.
The county counsel refers to the fact
that his opinion was asked for by the
County Board of Elections, and not
volunteered or made to order at the be-
hest of any machine, as has been inti-
mated. He further declares that the
opinion stands and cannot be contro-
verted by anyone able to read the law
and doing so without bias or prejudice.
The criticism to which Mr.. Mum
takes particular exception is that part
of the statement of President Edmund
B. Osborne in which he says:
Objectionable Criticism.
sThe ruling of the, county counsel is
ridiculous and outrageous and is clear
ly a 'made-to-order' opinion by direc-
tion of the machine.
Mr.. Munn's opinion is contrary to
that of the secretary of state, who de-
pends for his advice upon the attorney
general. Our lawyers insist that there
is no ground for his construction of
the law, except his wish to please the
machine he serves.
At last nights meeting of the league
William P. Martin affirmed the opinion
of Mr.. Osborne and advised his au-
ditors to court arrest. if necessary, in
resisting any action district board
may take TO exclude challengers. Mr.
Osborne in his prepared statement, AMI
Mr.. Martin in indorsing that statement,
beth rely on AMI quote the language OF
section 25 of the primary act of 1908
as amended by an act approved April
10, 1908.
Under the latter section as amended
in addition to the two challengers who
might be named by the chairman Of
each county committee, every person
whose name appears on the primary
ballot would have the right to act as
challenger and in addition thereto to
appoint on his own account two chal-
lengers for each election district.
Amendment Enacted.
This would make it possible to pro-
vide more challengers or agents for
each election district than the ordinary
polling place would hold, and to prevent
that situation just prior to the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature of 1908 section
SO of the primary law was amended so
as to make section So of the general
election law of 1898. to which the primary
act of 1903 is a supplement, govern the

Your Choice of Magazines and Papers at Net Cost
Important Announcement

Last year this list was not il.
sued until after January first, but in
spite of this fact and that most people
had already dore their clubbing, we
received orders for fully $1,000 worth
of magazines and papers. We are
confident that if any one will just look
the offers over they will subscribe
through US for all their magazines and
papers. We can give better prices
than regular agents because all maya
zine publishers make net price that
must not he quoted in catalogs for the
public, but by quoting in connection
with our publication we can quote
their net price to us. For instance
the publishers of one $3.50 magazine
will not allow 1T to be quoted to the
public for less than 81. 25 but the pub
fishers accept 81 from US. Now for the
sake of getting renewals for the Mon
itor promptly we are willing to give
you the benefit of this cheaper rate
and in this list that magazine with
the Monitor is quoted at $3.50. That
is what we mean when we say Maya
zines and Papers at "Net Cost" We
can buy the magazines just as cheap
as any one else but are willing to do
the business FREE for the sake of the
Monitor subscriptions. All subscription
agents make a living out of the bust
ness or at least profit we accept
from you just what we forward to the
various publishers and do the business
for the sake of Monitor patronage.

the Approach of Kidney Disease
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistak BILE that they leave
no ground for Edoubt. tSick kidneys
excrete thick. cloudy, offensive
urine, full of Pediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation of
scalding. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by feeling of lapguor and fatigue.

danger of dropsy, Bright's Disease, or

is warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delays often
prove fatal. You can use no.better

the people can afford it, why not?
THE present conditions of soil pro-
ductivity, the falling off of our ex
ports, and the high price of food
stuffs, if taken together with the gen
eral prosperity, do not, to my mind,
indicate danger of starvation, even if
we were compelled at some future
time to tone down the high living we
are at present enjoying.
ut does show that our farmers are
engaged in a winning and a growing
occupation with large and growing
demand for the things they produce.
Agriculture in this country is in it's
infancy, and we have hardly more
than cleared the ground and got the
fences up When we settle down to
the real business of farming, and get
a thorough knowledge of the soil of
each field, as the people of the longer
settled countries of Europe have done
We shall have fewer failures to pull
down our average of productivity.
There never have been greater op-
portunities offered for American farm
ing. In the east and south especially
are cheap productive sells awaiting
resettlement and reoccupation with
ever increasing variety of products.
1--WE should apply ourselves in ear
nest and with determination to get
the best out of them by exercising. in
teIligent control of these valuable as
sets. We should, furthermore, dc
this by force of intellect or foresight
rather than by force of necessity %
