ONLY N "BESTv
Langdon People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.

People of Langdon who suffered with
sick kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doau's Kidney
Pills, a medicine for the kidneys only,
made from pure roots and herbs, and
the only one that is backed by willing
testimony of Langdon people. Here's
a case:
G. Orion, Main ST., Langdop, N. D.,
says: Il was troubled by a steady ache
just Q my kidneys. If I lay in one
position long, the trouble was more
noticeable. 1t was also difficult for
me to lift. Iknew that these troubles
were CEASED by disordered kidneys, for
the kidney secretlons we're too frequent
in passage. On hearing Doan's Kidney
Pills highly spoken of, I was induced to
try them and | was glad to find prompt
and positive relief. After taking the
contents of four boxes, the pains in my
back and other symptoms of my trouble
entirely disappeared. A few weeks ago
when l again had need of a kidney
medicine, [ took Doan's Kidney Pills
and the results were just as satisfactory
as before.

G-eogranhical Morality.

When II. G. Wells novel Ann We
ronica" was translated into French
certain spicy details were added which
were missing from the English err
sion. Those who have read the story
will remember that it is founded on
the so called higher morality" Of afin-
tiles and that in it a nan and woman
live together in defiance of laws and
conventions, but in the end marry as
rightly conducted couples should. In
the French edition, however, the mar
riage is omitted.
This is termed by one paper 'invert-
ed expurgation." In translating many
French novels into English it is neces-
sary to expurgate many Objectionable
passages in order that the books may
go through the mails and may not too
violently collide with Anglo-Saxon
moral standards. but in translating
this English book into French exactly
the opposite curse is pursued. Judg-
ing by many plays now put on the
boards in English speaking countries
and by books like "Three Weeks" and
others of the same kidney, a natural
wonder is excited as to just how much
worse they must be in order to satisfy
Gallo taste.
The incident suggests many ques-
tons that perhaps had better not be
propounded in too much detail. The
most obvious of these is the old. old
query as to whether morality is a
matter Of geography. The answer to
this is. Of course, that customs may
vary, but fundamental morality is the
same everywhere. nor does it have the
best statement in a certain type Of
modern novels, whether French or
English. AS for the matter of customs
and conventions, we must be excused
for preferring those Of the Anglo-Sax-
on brand.

The Canadian farmers are just awaken
ing to the great advantage of recipro-
city and are busy kicking each others
dogs around because they did not &C
cept this boon when it was offered to
them. The wheat growing provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
have recently had a striking illustration
of the advantage of reciprocity, Last
year their wheat crop vas very heavy,
but was hurt by frost. 1t could have
been shipped to the big American mills
and under reciprocity would have netted
the Canadians 20 cents more per
bushels. The Canadians will be ready
for reciprocity by the time the Ameri.
cans are ready to turn it down,

editor; educated in public schools,
Bethany college, West Virginia, and

ing Green, Missouri: elected city at
torney; elected district attorney; elected
to congress in 1892: reelected eight
times; was chosen democratic leader in
the sixty-tirst congress-: elected speaker
of tho sixty-second. Champ Clark is,
and during his entire public career has
been, a firm believer in and advocate OF
Jeffersonian democracy, the principles
of which Abraham Lincoln declared to
be "the essential anxioms of free
society,"" which are the foundation of
every real progressive movement in the
English-speaking world today. From
his humble position asKentucky plowboy
to his present exalted position in office
and in leadership, he has risen steadily
by sheer force of his own ability and
character. Proud of his country, her
institutions and her people. he Is free
from the weakness of personal vanlty:h he
believes in the wisdom, capacity and in
tergrity of the people and in a govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people," He favors removing all
limitations upon, and Instructions to,
popular sovereignty and thus securing to
the people their natural right to make
and maintain a government suited to the
promotion of their own pursuit of hap
piness, free from interference by bene-
t~icaries of privilege and monopoly. His
efforts for the past two years have been
to protect the masses of the people from
the burdens imposed by the trusts and
monopolies, through the agency of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, in the high
cost of living His services to California
IN the Panama-Pacifc exposition, have
been second to none.

Possibility of a Worldwide Strike.

Possibility of a Worldwide Strike.
The disturbed coal situation In Great
Britain. Germany, France and the
United States brought home to the
public mind rather forcibly VIVA, would
happen in case of a worldwide strike.
Suppose such a strike should affect
only the one industry of coal mining.
a danger seemingly averted for the
time being. but which may recur in
future in aggravated form. Most in
lustries now depend on coal and would
have to shut down in case Of a coal
famine, as has actually happened In
England. A worldwide strike would
mean in all probability that every
where these industries would stop.
The consequence would be stagger-
ing. The food supply would be cut
off, countless millions in all lands
would be thrown out Of employment,
financial panics would unsue. and pos
sibly political upheavals and wen rev.
olutions would result. Suffering from
cold and hunger would be widespread.
Commerce would be paralyzed, and the
intricate and complex machinery Of
modern civilization would b. thrown
out of gear.
That such a universal strike may
eccur, either in coal mining or in some
other line almost equally vital. is be-
lieved by most Of those who have
studied the situation. The labor I'M
ions are becoming international in
scope. and the ties that bind the work
ers in different trades and different
countries are drawing closer year by
year.
In case the unions ever take up a line
of political activity. as many of them
have already taken up socialism, es-
pecially in Germany. the worldwide
strike might be ordered for the express
purpose of affecting politics. 1t might
be a worldwide demonstration for
higher wages or shorter hours. 1t
might be an effort to compel universal
recognition of the anions. 1t might be
any one of I: dozen things to improve
the lot Of the workers. But when it
came the whole world would be at it's
mercy.
The laboring men themselves not only
recognize the possibility of a world
wide strike. but many Of them advo-
cate it as a necessary step in their
progress. If a strike in Il industry
could happen in so many lands, as did
this coal strike, and that apparently
without any preconcerted effort, what
might occur if there were a deliberate
campaign to that end?
Yet perhaps we have enough pres
ent worries without borrowing from
the future and should adopt the motto,
81 am an old man and have had many
troubles. but most Of them hap
pened." j. A. EDGERTON.

With the announcement today by
Donald MCLAUGHLIN of his candidacy
there are 10Y two in the field for the
democratic nomination for the Office of
register Of deeds. MIR. MCLAUGHLIN
made the run two years ago and for
some little time has been in a receptive
mode to making a second attempt after
looking the situation over carefully.
The run for place at the primaries will
certainly tend to stimulate interest in
the democratic ticket at the primaries
and is n that is entirely friendly
in its nature between Mr.. McLauch-
lin and his opponent John L. Schwarts
the present deputy register of deeds.
Mr.. Schwartz announced his cand1-
dacy for the Office in which he has SER
we'd as deputy for the past eight years
about a month ago. He has a knowledge
of the office that makes it certain that
its affairs would be cared for in a bust
nesslike manner if elected. He is a young
man who came first to Cavalier county
in his early boyhood and his name on
the ticket would give tho democratic
precinct of Mt. Carmel place on the
county ticket for the first time in its
political history. May the best man win.

A ROMANCE OF TRADE.
The Start and Rise Of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.

krupp Gun Works.
The famous cannon foundry of
krupp. at Essen. was established in
1911 by Frederick Krupp. who aban-
doned a successful grocery business at
the instigation Of two brothers uamed
Won Kechel in order to devote himself
to the manufacture of cast steel.
The process was then unknown in
Germany, and the article itself went
under the name of English steel" be-
cause it was imported from England.
Krupp had money, and the Kechels had
or pretended to have technical knowl-
edge. The firm started it's operations,
in an old water power mill at Altenes-,
sen. The experiments of the Won
Kechels We're unsuccessful. For nearly
two years they did their best, but all
their efforts to produce English STEEP
failed. In the end Krupp decided to
get rid Of them after having spent one-
half of his fortune in experiments and
took over the management of the work
himself.
For a long time he had no luck, and
pointment anil labor that a satisfactory
metal was produced. 1t was under his
son Alfred that the business first real
ly began to flourish. It's exhibit at the
London exposition Of 1851 revealed to
the world that a little known German
firm was producing iron and steel that
could not be bettered by the industry
Of any other country. Orders from the
Prussian government followed, and
the name and fortune Of the firm were
made.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Investigations by the forest service
brings out the fact that trees send their
roots to a distance of one to two times
their height. In other words a tree ten
feet high will have roots ten to twenty
feet long. A tree to do it's best needs
to have full possession of the ground it
occupies. This then gives a guide for
the amount of cultivation and mulching
that needs to be done to secure the
best results. Prof. W. G. Palmer, of
