JOHN W"ANAMAkER's VIEWS

John Wsnamaker Is by may ex-
perts regarded as the most successful
of American business men. He CON
tributed a long letter on the political
situation IS it affects business. His
letter Is addressed ito the merchants
and business men of the United
States In 1t he gives an interesting
review OF the fiscal history of the
United States. He recalled the fact
that one Of the first acts of an Ameri-
can congress, under the wise guidance
of Alexander Hamilton, was to pass an
act for the encouragement of Ameri-
ca manufactures. He recites the his
tory Of the financial fluctuations that
followed inevitably every attempt to
reverse the Hamiltonian policy and to
place the United States on a free trade
basis. Then he recites the dismal ex-
perience OF the country under the
tariff bll Of peridy and ~dishonor'' en-
ected in the second Cleveland admin
1stration-when the free traders of
the south, for the first time since Blu
Chanan, had an open hand-and the
miseries Of the Buchanan panic were
aeproduced. MIR. Wanamaker qr otes
the appeal of the New York Farmers
Alliance in 1894, and comments there
on as follows:
"A cry of hunger and starvation
comes up from the heart of the great
metropolis-kew York city. 1t
from the Threats OF tens of thousands
Of American citizens who are without
bread. 1t ascends to heaven, and is
intensified by the tears and means Of
starving mothers and furnishing chill
dren. Men are becoming desperate as
the gaunt spectre Of famine stalks
abroad unheeded by the pillage Of la
Dor and the ravishing of industry"
The pleading of millions of Ameri-
can citizens from all over the land for
work failed to stay the destroying
hand of Cleveland and his free trade
congress and above the cry Of the hum
cry for bread and the means of the dy-
ing from starvation could be heard the
roll call Of a free trade democracy as
1t recorded its vote for the Wilson bill
AN act that closed American work
shops. that reduced American wages,
and degraded American manhood to
want, misery and starvation.
no American farmers, American
workingmen, American manufacturers,
American merchants desire q return to
the Cleveland condition? If so, the
way is open by the election Of a free
trade president and a free trade con-
gress.
The moral Of the whole story is that
it is never safe to trust too much to
the schoolmen-to the men whose
knowledge of affairs is what they have
read in some accepted authority on
poiitice' economy. Woodrow Wilson'S
ideal Of craftsmanship is that same
Grover Cleveland who wrecked his
Itarty-and so nearly wrecked the
country by trying to turn it back to
the discarded ideals of the Buchanan
days. The country does NOT want to
repeat that experience.

TAKE THIS MANS ADVICE
TRY THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY

1t always gives me pleasure to rec
ommend anything that is right and
so | feel it my duty to herald the
praises of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
For years / was troubled with Kidney
disease and it was so intense that !
was bedridden for days at a time. I
gave up all hope and doctors for miles
around gave me no help. Incidentally
l tried several patent remedies and at
last tried Swamp-Root. From the first
it gave me relief and it was no time
before 1 was able to be up and around
and now l am perfectly well and able
to work as / used to before my terrible
sickness.
SO now let me thank you for your
wonderful discovery and take this OPP
portunity to recommend it to all who
suffer from kidney troubles.
Yours very truly,
WALTER SHRIVER,
Hope, Ark.

vote for all executive officers-from
constable to presidential electors.
The republican women of that state
having become greatly annoyed by
the wrangles among the male mem
bers of the several parties-determin-
ed to nominate a state ticket of their
own, with which they intend to fight
for possession of all the officec, [Iav-
ing assurance from the democratic
women of their cordial utilization and
enthusiastic support, they feel that
they now have the men where they
have longed to get them. They feel
that they have the men in their
power.
Who will say that the women Of
Idaho are not worthy of the right to
vote? Who will say that they dc not
appreciate the obligations and the SOL
c y duties Of the voter? Who will
a that women have no minds of their
own, and that they are governed by
the men?
The men have ben saying for 10,
these many years, hat they are for
measures, and not for men," and now
the women are going to put them to
the test in their PRONUNCIATION of those
principles-which stand for the -
terment Of the state. They r going
to place measures above both men and
women, and appeal to the best senti-
hen for support.
If the women of Idaho succeed in
coming into power and hen carry out
their announcements it will be a de-
cisive triumph for equal suffrage-and
it may be a triumph for those princi-
pies that make for the good or man
kind.

DOUBLING TIL CROP.

There is some sense to the follow
ing editorial from The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald:
II you have invested in farm land
you have probably been advised that
additional investments are desirable.
Assuming that the returns of the first
season are not all that You a hoped
for, you must have had this bit Of
wisdom thrown at you: You can't
expect to take anything out unless
you put something in"
This intensive thought is overworked
by promoters Of land schemes that
have not turned out well, and like all
congratulations it needs to be applied
with an eye to particulars. Your
put in may be wasted on worthless
land. or, granting that there might be
an improvement through judicious eX-
penditures, YOU methods may be
wrong and you might accomplish more
with half the outgo.
There is a right way of going at the
business, and the report from Urbana
concerning the wheat yield on the IL
linois experiment fields under the di-
rection Of DR.. Cyril G.. Hopkins shows
what may be accomplished through an
intelligent study of conditions. BY
mixing brains with fertilizer the yield
was increased from 14.4 to 28.9 bush
els to the acre, or just about double.
That Is to say, experiment and study
pointed to phosphorus as a particular
ly effective agent in soil enrichment,
and phosphorus brought the returns
indicated.
There is no account of costs, but a
fertilizer tina will double. the crop
isn't likely to eat up the proceeds.
And We nay be sure that there is no
branch of farming that will pay for
any considerable length Of time unless
something is done year by year to re-
| plenish the soil.

A r INQUIRY.
Answered by the Statement Of a Fargo
Resident,


When first the long series of re-
ports of Fargo people who have been
relieved by Doan's Kidney Pills were
published in the local press, great en-
thusiasm and interest were aroused.
But Fargo is now inquiring How are
these people keeping today?. How
has the benefit they received . with
stood the test Of timer" For that, aft
er all, is the essential test of a cure.
On this point doubt can no longer ex-
ist, for after many years those who
have been cured, emphatically declare
their cures to be lasting.
X. Emerson, 800 First avenue south,
Fargo, N. D., says: For many years
my work obliged me to be in a stoop-
ed position, This undoubtedly weak
ened my kidneys. l had backache and
there was lameness across my loins.
In the summer of 1889, 1 heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills. and procuring a
box at Fout s. Porterfield's drug store,
I began using them. The backache
soon disappeared and my kidneys
were restored to a normal condition.
Whenever an opportunity occurs, l
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. Since
Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of kidney
complaint, / have been free from 1t. I
consider my cure a permanent one"

ADVANCED WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Idaho has had woman's suffrage for
sixteen years. They have been voting
in that state ever since the first Bryan
campaign-and 1t must be confessed
that they know something about the
way to vote and the responsibility of
the privilege.
The women In that state have all
the rights Of the ballot that men enjoy.
instead Of calling 1t woman's suffrage
out there 1t Is called equal suffrage.
And thiH 10 right, Is there are no re-
s7rictions on the woman's ballot that
are not also on the mems ballot. They
an stand on the same footing ait eiec-
tions-each having the anne right to

Press Comment

Portal International: The republican
state ticket contains the names of sonlo
of the ablest men in North Dakota to-
day. These men will do their, duty If
placed in office, n The International
believes they will be elected.
Minot Independent: The election of
L. b. Hanpa, candidate for governor,
seems practically ure The indie
pendent has not agreed with Mr.. Hanna
in all things, yet to be honest with him,
we will have to admit, that he is 9
good clean type of citizen, a clear
Drained business man and a man of
high principles, who will give a clean
administration. North Dakot neeos
Just such a man that is businesslike
and safe.
Hanna addressed a good sized audience
at the courthouse here Saturday even
ing. While not a political speech in
one sense of the word, 1T was a straight
forward talk in which Mr.. Hanna
sought to emphasize a few of the
things he hoped to do should he be
elected governor. Mr.. Hanna is u
thorough business man. North Dakota
needs a business man at the helm OF
the ship of state and in our opinion,
Hanna is the Man of the hour"
Pembina Pioneer-Exprsss: We agree
that President Taft was wrong in his
ideas about reciprocity. But how viii
it help that matter to vote to place
democrats in power, when according
t the record, the solid democrats vote
of the house prevented the repeal of that
act even after Canada had rejected it.
Every republican congressman from
this state voted against reciprocity IN
cluGing Mr.. Hanna who is now canui-
date for govern 2r. Every republican
| candidate for now running is
also against reciprocity, If it is the
question of reciprocity that sticks in
some republicans crop, Ia can vote
against it by voting for the men wiIo
are against it-and not For tho men
who are for 1t. Not d democrat candi-

Lost All His Waaes.

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 30.-Where
is Harry Johnson and the SIP which
he tipped" from his namesake and
countryman, Erick Johnson, an inno-
cent young thresher who came to
Devils Lake Saturday? Erick struck
the city with his seasons earnings in
the form of a cashiers check on the
Egelund bank. He knew no one in
Devils Lake, and it was necessary to
secure the services of a new-made
friend to realize any money.
This is where Harry Johnson, the
confidence man, came in. Assuring
the newcomer that he was acquainted
and could get the money. he took the
check and leaving the owner, he made
a purchase of Herman Shark and
cashed the check. That was the last
that has been seen of Harry or the
SIP. Today the innocent young fell
low admitted that he had signed his
name on the back of the check.
One good effect of the deal. Is that
Devils Lake is minus crook and
