BETTER OYSTERS.

That step in behalf of better condi- tions for the oyster beds from which so much sea food comes for daily con- sumption, is one which those who know the conditions of rivers, har- bors and bodies of water from which some of the oysters are taken, must heartily commend. It is the result of an investigation by the health experts of the national department of agricul- ture, and 1t is their report which de- clares that sewage pollutes the natural beds in waters adjacent to New York at some points in the Sound, and also in Chesapeake bay. It is not strange that. this pollution should exist, witt the great amount of sewage from large cities steadily increasing.
 This does not apply to all oysters but those in specific localities. This is result of increase in city and in dustrial life. It is within the mem ory of many that oysters were grow1 in the Thames river which were sai6 to be of unusual excellence, but the time came when the pollution of ths water made their use inadvisable This does not mean that all oysters are bad. but it should mean that oys- ter beds should be located away iron contamination. No one wishes to in. vite disease by such method wher it can be avoided. There win con- tinus to be plenty of good oysters, bu' 1t will be incumbent upon the grow.

NATURALIZATION.

There are at the present time, by the change in the naturalization laws, large numbers who are becoming cit ixens of the United States at each sit- ting of the court for that purpose. This applies in this county as well as in au other sections of the country. The benefit of being a citizen of this country is realized by these men and ln that realization they are making it possible to have their share in the operation of the government. They are showing an interest and a desire to get out and vote and enjoy all the pr1vileges of full -fledged American.
 How in contrast this is with many other people who cannot bear to sever their allegiance to their native land, the kingdom and the flag under which they were born. After twenty years residence in this country a Chicago minister has decided that he should i, take this step. The country might be said to be full of just such men, who have come from Canada as he did, or are sons of the British isles. They <. take deep interest in politics in many cases, but never become naturahzed, though they find the country to their liking, conducive to their happiness, and the best place to rear their fami- lies and live. They are neglecting a duty which they not only owe to themselves, getting. as they are, tax ation without representation, but to their families and to the country.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Cults and Scots.


 Someone alluded to me the other day as a liberal thinker. But 1 think I am narrower than the narrowest sec tarian. For I only believe part of his creed, whatever it is.' That is to say, I believe all Cor he) understands of it, which is not much.
 I see goodness in socialism. Its ideals are captivating. It is soundly practical and Utopian; and love Utopia.
 Pure anarchy simply means every man so highly developed that he needs no outward laws, and surely this is the very aim of Christianity and of all culture.
 The single-taxer make out their case perfectly, and show how their programme would cure a thousand ills
 So I acknowledge the truth at the core of every religious sect. The fun damental ideas of Catholicism, Chris tian Science, Methodism and all the rest are rational enough. out all of these cults and isms car " along with them so much dead tim- Der, so many implications, connota- tions and inconclusive consequentlies | that they lose me. Couldn't somebody start something containing just the juice and sweet reasonableness of each, emitting the chaff?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Down With Labor's Enemy,

MT. Editor: The great Oscar Under wood reported that President Taft ve- toed his bill touching beef. In the Underwood report we read beef val ued at S5.30 per 100 pounds abroad pays tariff tax equivalent to 25.SS Der cent, or $1.50 per 100 pounds. This bill proposed to remove this entire tax.
 Among the Condensed A. P. Cable grams Tuesday we read: Prices of meat and bread in Germany are now the highest in the world, and only the very rich can eat beef"
 MT. Underwood sends out another report as campaign argument. Here it is: "The cotton bill reduced the duties on cotton manufactures from 4S.12 per cent. to 27.06 per cent, re- duction of the tariff burdens under this schedule from not less than $200,- 000,0O0 to about s12,000,000 for a year, or a saving of about $SS, 100000 for a twelve month period"
 MT. Underwood does not say that the | cotton weavers who weave that goods and the spinners who spin the | yarn are the highest paid operatives in | the world. Neither does he say that under the slashing of cotton goods 1 schedule during the Wilson tariff days 1 that American cotton operatives who were lucky enough to get steady worl. were receiving the very lowest wages.

In year when unbossed conventions have predomi- mated added interest is directed to the Empire state and the outcome of the selections. It was indicated that Dix could not again be the democratic nominee and 1t was not without a struggle that Congressman William Sulzer gained the nomination. He is New Yorker, representing the East Side, with it's vast population, and one who is calculated to overcome the effect of Oscar Straus' nomination by the bull moose. MT. Sulzer is not a particularly strong candidate through out the state. but he is a worker and does not labor under the handicap of being Murphy picked. Oscar Straus '. was doubtless the best man the pro- gressives could have named, but he IS opposed by men who have been chosen by the delegates of their re- . spective parties. an action which should unite the forces.

LITTLE THINKING FOR THEM
 SELVES.

E& is no wonder that the prohibition and socialist party leaders feel slight d when they hear of republicans em7 hracing the cause of the third-termer and they can see the aptness of Pres idant Tafts reference to the Coloneps platform as the "crazy patchwork platform The prohibition party is al- 60 suffering Reflections and likewise some of the socialists are leaning. though the number is not large, in any case. With the thifd-termer's plat form made up of principles which have been included in the platforms of these parties for years. it is no wonder that they consider that the bull moose par- ty is unnecessary and no solution. II is simply stepping in and trying to gel another's ammunition, in an effort to satisfy personal ambition.
 The Voter, of the prohibition party ls right when it speaks of the voters taking little pains to learn that g party was right at hand which has been seriously advocating the progress sive reforms for many years whict Mir. Roosevelt has only recently dis. covered" How sincere the leader and his followers are is evidenced by theii attitude to the reforms in the past foi which they arc working. They wert ignored then. though the need of then is no greater now than it was then. Il Is simply putting another party in tht field to advocate the same thing, witt very little difference, from what thre. other parties are advocating, and pull down the majority of the party which stands for the protection of home anf industries and a living wage, and in. creasing the opportunity of the dem. ocratic party and the advocates oi free trade, foreign competition, hart times and low wages.

placing sugar on the free list would
 have saved during a year not less
 than $115, ,000,000 to the consumer The tariff tax on sugar amounts to about
 1-2 cents per pound"
 But MT. Underwood forgets that the great beet sugar industry that under protection has become enormous would
 have been almost completely destroy ed by the importations of sugar raised
 and gathered by cooley, cheap Japan
 anese and Kanaka labor, whereas to-
 day the millions of dollars spent by the American people for sugar are shared
 by thousands of farmers and tens of
 thousands of the highest paid farm la ] Dor in the world MT. Underwood continues: Under
 our tariff law barrel of flour valued at $4 abroad is taxed 25 per cent. ad
 valorem at our ports. or $1 on the bar
 rel. This bill removed the entire tax. '' MT Underwood does not explain why
 bread made from this flour is the high est in Germany of any place in the | world. He does not explain the steady l increase in cost of living in free trade England. He does not explain con- l tinua1 cost of all life's necessities in | France, Germany, Austria and, in fact, | the whole world. Why doesn't some | lSll us llloL lll0 wages III | free trade England are higher than
 here, and also that they are increas 1 ing?
 MT. Underwood shows how the wool
 reduction proposed by him would greatly reduce the price of suit of clothing, notwithstanding the fact that the wool in the suit is the very
 lowest thing about it. MT. Underwood i cannot tell you woolen mill operatives where you can get as high wages un- der free trade in woolens as you dc | here
 l MT. Underwood, Mir. Wilson and all
 the rest of them cannot show where I the tariff reduction on wool is going | to greatly decrease the price of your suit of clothing, when it is positively
 proven that the entire material in 3 | S22 suit of clothing, including buttons lining, thread and all trimmings is less than $4.50.

Does any one for @ moment doubt this fact?
 No, no; not one. The American peo- pie are alive this year, if never before In the next four weeks there will be such a scramble to get on the prosper ity chariot that the chariot races o1 old will pale in comparison.
 Down with the low price advocates Down with tariff tinkerers and med dlers with prosperity. Down with al who dare to stand in the way of the continuation of high wages and steady employment; and progress forward not towards the rear.

TRUE TO FRIENDS, PRINCIPLES,
 DUTY.


 It is evident that the men of the west are doing some thinking for themselves as to qualifications of the presidential candidates and that in so doing they are giving consideration to the records of the men. It is a candid statement which R. G. Brown of Min neapolis, prominent Harvard man, makes in reply to the effort of the Wilson college mems club to add strength to their candidate, when he says, "as a Harvard man. feel con- strained to give all the support within my power to that son of Yale, whose sturdy, judicial and statesmanlike qualities, as demonstrated by his rec ord in public office. have made him, beyond all other presidential candi- dates, the exponent of that spirit of Harvard which is signihed in it's mot to, 'Veritas.'
 Because of his unflinching adher- ence to truth, President Taft deserves the support of every Harvard man. He has steadfastly refused to compromise with error. He has kept in the straight course dictated only by wise and de liberate judgment, uninfluenced by any selfish interests or by any mere poli- cies of parties or persons He has been true to his friends and true to his noble principles and high sense of duty.
 MT. Taft has fought and is still fighting, for the cause of good govern ment, for the cause of progress and reform under our constitution. He stands today. in a greater measure than does any other living person, as the bulwark of our constitutional gov ernment against impracticable and vi- cious innovations, heedlessly and ca priciously advocated by those who blindly plunge down the path leading inevitably to a tyranny, either of mon archy or of democracy. for this na- tion.p
 It is such sentiment as this which is gaining strength for the president every day. It is not overdrawn, and it cannot be too often emphasized. He is pre-eminently the man of the houl in the country's political situation.

A Valuable Suggestion
IMPORTANT To EVERYONE.

II is, now conceded by physicians
nat the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do
a tremendous amount of work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by filtering the
blood.
During the winter months especial
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence of
kidney trouble, such as lame back,
inability to hold urine, smarting or
burning, brick-dust or sediment, SAL
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious
