HE WOULD GET
RID OF THE
PHILIPPINES
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1nn.l

Washington, April 26.-Represen-
tative Cox, of Ohio, is at the head of
a movement of Democratic congress-
men to make the Philippines and
their independence a party measure
at this session of congress.
At the next meeting of the major
ity caucus he will ask that a resolu-
tion calling on the war department
for a statement showing what the
islands have cost the United States
since the American occupation be
made part of the majority pro-
gram. This resolution Mr.. Cox re-
CARDS as an entering wedge toward
naturalization Of the islands.
"The Philippine situation" said
Mr.. Cox today "is the most menacing
before us. Wars of the future will
be over lands in the Orient.
"If the people could see what the
Philippines have cost, / am positive
the islands and their future would
be accorded serious and immediate
consideration. Neutrality Of the is
lands could be arranged for by
treaty"

Confidence in Lachmund.

Ed. Journal:-As a business man
want to say we have confidence
in Mayor Lachmund. If he had con-
troll of the expenditure of the $780,
900 for concrete bridges we would
all vote for the bonds. We will not
vote for those bonds and we have no
confidence in tho business judg-
ment of the bridge committee. II
we knew Mayor Lachmund was going
to build those brid0es we would
know they would be done Within a
year or two. A man like Mr.. Bar
ron could go ahead and have them
built in 60 days. Mission street is a
sample of the goods we can expect
at the hands of the bridge committee.
We have stood for the delays to the
great loss of our city and business in
general. We want more business and
less do-nothing or do-little policy as
the mayor has so well expressed it. He
made up his committees in his best
Judgment, but he has made a mis-
take, and we are glad he is owning
up to it. This gives us renewed conf
dence in the mayor. We hope he can
find some way to bui'd the bridges If
we vote the money. We refused to
vote 1t before, because we thought
it would take 40 or so years to spend
1t. The interest on these bonds will
be only $4,000 year, and no bridges
has done more than that much dam
age TO property in a single block.
Give us some more from the same
barrel, Mr.. Mayor. Fire both barrels
at the firm Of Dolittle, Donothing &
Co. This town will vote down that
policy in future, as it has in the East.
Give us the chance We will vote for
the bonds on those terms, or not at
all. REL.

The WAY OF The
PHILANTHROPIST
IS VERY HARD

New York, April 26.-The New
York grand jury today is considering
the testimony of Andrew Carnegie
relative to the workings of the de-
funct Carnegie Trust company. Car
negie testified that he had never
promised to support the concern.
This is direct contradiction Of as
sertions by the trust company's Off
cials. Carnegie said he had tried his
best to keep the bank from using a
name similar to his own.
"The way Of philanthropist is
hard" he said in concluding his
hearing.

THE ONLY WAY
Many Salem Citizens Have Dlscov-
cred 1t.

Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is a question that con-
Germs both young and old. Week
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to lifelong suffering. People OF
advanced years, with less vitality,
suffer doubly. In youth or age, lam
guor, backache, urinary irregularity,
dizziness and nervousness make life
burden.
There is one remedy that acts dir
ectly on the kidneys. Doan's Kid
ney Pills owe their worldwide fame
to the fact that they are reliable.
Follow the example of this Salem
citizen and you will be convinced
that this is so.
John Couger, S45 N. 18th st., Sa-

of other people who have taken this

best possible results.
