WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds all Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Hattiesburg women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles all
tell of the sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of dropsy or
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
are for the kidneys only, They at
tack kidney diseases by striking at
the cause. Here's proof of it in Hat.
tiesburg woman's words:
Mrs. N. A. Tins, sos Buschman
street, Hattiesburg, Miss, says: 81
suffered intensely from my back and
kidneys. have tried all kinds of
medicines and l must say that Doan's
Kidney Pills have been of the great
est benefit. My back was very weak
and panied me almost constantly. Of
ten I was unable to lie comfortably
at night and could not do any work
that obliged me to stoop, owing to
pain and weakness across my loins.
l took Doans Kidney Pills a year or
two ago and they helped me SO much
that when l again had need of them,
several months ago, 1 obtained an
other box at Hays e Fields Drug
Store. This supply soon relieved my
misery"

Buck also informed your committee
that he made up the executive con-
tlngent fund to the end of the year
1907, and said that account tailed
with the auditors and treasurer
books, except the $40 above men,
toned, a receipt for which was after
wards found. THE metal case in
which these vouchers were placed"
said Mr.. Buck, was not locked, and
any person desiring to do so might
have access to them" Whether tho
missing vouchers were designedlv re-
moved or misplaced by accident, Mr..
Buck nor the committee is prepared
To- say. but it is a matter of record
that while Edwards was secretary the

Wood MCGEE, on April 10, 1906.
checked up the executive contingent
account, item by item, for 1904 and
1905, and found it correct. (see re-
rort Of committee, Senate Journal,
1906, page 1O7S; also see Chairman
Graves report. House Journal, 1910,
page 1901
1t is significant fact that Account
ant Moore's report shows that Varda-
man was behind on account of this
fund for these years.. which only
proved that some of the vouchers ex-
amined by the MCGEE committee on
April 10, 1906, were afterwards lost,
mislaid, or had been distracted, for
Edwards testified that on this occa-
sion Vardaman called the sub-book,
and he produced the vouchers, one by
one, until the investigation was COM
p,ctc.
Another significant fact is, we find

was ordered striker out by the com
mittee at that time, and was left in
by oversight, the order being to strike
out the word unsatisfactory wherever
it appeared in the report.
Secretary Buck made up the state
ment showing the disbursement of
this fund for the years 1906 and 1907,
2"d was ready to present it to the
joint committee appointed in 1908, but
that committee made no investigation
until two years afterward, when it ap-
peared some of the vouchers were
missing. Your committee has been
unable to determine by what instru-
mentality these vouchers disappeared
but We think it is rational to conclude
that neither Vardaman nor any friend
OF his distracted them from the file.

In complying with this request the
committee proceeded with the inves-
legation by first calling Mr.. C. J.
Moore, the expert accountant, who has
spent much time in going over the
records at a cost to the state of ST..
7"5, and who has given out to the
press for months past interviews
charging that Governor Vardaman had
drawn and expended money for which
he can find no vouchers in the gov
ernor's office. This is probably true.
hut Hon Geo. r. Edwards, who served
as private secretary for two years and
len months of Governor Vardaman's
term, testified that vouchers were
taken for every cent expended during
his time, and Mr. W. j. Buck, who sue
ceeded him, and who is at present the
most efficient private secretary of
Governor Noel. tells your committee

president of the Equitable, seems to
have been greatly annoyed thereby,
as We learn from a long letter sub
1aitted to us by Mr.. Moore, the expert
accountant, who doubtless stirred up
this commotion at the instigation of
his co-conspirators for political eff
feet. Mr., Anderson being informed
OF this matter through the public
! press and otherwise proceeded at
once to notify Governor Noel that
neither the Equitable Life nor Cover
nor Vardaman participated in this ac-
crued interest amounting to $1,644.4
and If it could be shown that the pre-
dating of the notes, in the face of the
opinion rendered. by the law officer
OF the state was not strictly legiti-
mate the Merchants Bank and Trust
Company was ready to refund the
money Notwithstanding this manly
and business-like assurance from the
bank, we are told that suits have'been
/ brought to recover from the bank and
Vardaman this identical money and
that said suits are now pending in
the courts. Mr.. A. C. Jones, late pres
ident Of the Mississippi Bank and
Trust Company informed your com
mttee that an almost identical trans
action was negotiated by Governor
Nardaman through his bank. The
next legislature that met after the
notes given in both transactions fell
due, being in possession of all the
facts and circumstances under which
the money was obtained, appropriated
the money and paid the loan and the
interest and Thereby approved the
loan as it was made to the state This
committee recommends that this legis-
lature do now approve said action of
the legislature in approving and pay
ing said loans and the interest there
on, and recommend that the said suit

THESE are the days when every hon
est, patriotic republican, who is worthy
to be called by that noble old name, is
doing some very sober thinking as he
watches the shameful quarrel which
progressive politics has precipitated
upon the country at Chicago. And,
true to its own fatal law of gravitation
toward factionalism and hate and ran
cor, the LaFollette wing has split in
twain. McGovern, who is in politics,
like LaFollette, for what there is in it
for himself, bolts his faction for the
flimsy bawble of temporary chairman
and gets licked And now we will have
the glorious spectacle of these valorous
dogs of war eating one another. That's
right. Let 'em eat, chew and bite.
That is what progressiveism is for
what, in the end, it means. Now we
have come to its logical conclusion, the
substitution of the man for his mission,
a dog fight for place and power. Look
in the faces of your brother republi-
cans and note how ashamed they look
and how ashamed you feel.-Fort At
kinson Union.

BISHOP BASHFORD, late of Chicago,
in his university address telling of the
new Chinese republic, said ''You have
sent forward missionaries and have
poured out money for schools and
churches and hospitals, and have nour-
ished the famine victims until you have
compelled the Chinese to love the very
name of America above the name of
every other land on earth; you have
built up such homes and schools and
churches as have made the young
Chinese entering them and sharing
their blessings return to China ten-fold
more American than you are your
selves. Desperate as the founding of
republic is, nevertheless the attempt
of one fourth of the entire human race
to establish a republic after the type
of Washington and Lincoln is the great
est compliment ever paid to the United
States. In the formation of their con-
stitution they have not drawn single
line from any political document in
European history, but have taken our
bill of rights and our American consti-
tuition and have made them the con-
stitution of the Chinese republic.

A BY-PRoDUCT of the oil industry is
fast supplying the demands for asphalt
in the United States. More recently
the petroleums from California and
Texas have furnished, in the course of
their utilization, large supplies of as
phaltic residues. A man who has shown
his genius in many other lines, Walter
P. Jenny, was among the first to con-
ceive the idea that this asphaltic ma
terial could be "bessemerized"- that
is, blown with air in way that would
make it sticky and even elastic to
certain extent. Elastic material for
roofing and even substitutes for rubber
in automobile tires have been obtained
from asphaltic residues by this blowing
process or by treating with sulphur.

Wrong Income Tax.

At a special session of the Wisconsin
legislature resolutions were introduced
in both houses asking the governor to
call another special session for the pur-
pose of repeating the brand-new income
tax. It is impossible to say how much
public opinion supports these resolu-
tions; but the income tax, so far, has
been failure in every state that has
adopted it.
The main reason lies on the surface.
The only way an income tax can be
satisfactorily enforced in this country
is by taxing the income at it's source,
on the English plan; and no state has
power to do that. A citizen of Wis
consin, for example, may derive large
income from steel stock or New York
Central bonds. If he pays a state tax
on that income it will be because he
chooses to.
The state cannot compel a corpora
ton of New Jersey or New York to
disclose the dividends and interest it
disburses in Wisconsin. Or Wiscon-
sin capitalist may escape the tax by
the simple expedient of taking up resi-
dence across the state border. Most of
the large corporations operate in many
states and to avoid an income tax in
Wisconsin can reincorporate elsewhere
A number of corporation removals have
been reported already.
The income tax measure makes no
attempt to tax any income at its source.
1t relies upon the statement of the tax
payer-which means, broadly speaking,
that everybody taxes himself. That a
tax so applied puts a premium upon
falsehood and handicap upon honesty
is perfectly patent. Saturday Evening
Post.

The woman of one hundred years ago
did not vote and it was not so neces-
sary for her to vote as it is for us. Our
Observation-Disclosures were not concern
ed with pure food laws and inspection
of milk and cold storage and little chill
dren working in factories and public
Fairgrounds and commercialized vice
and thousand other things that call
aloud to the women of today Still if
our great-grandmothers had voted and
thus been somewhat better equipped to
teach patriotism and citizenship to their
sons and daughters, we would not per-
haps have quite as many difficulties in
this country as now press upon us

A man once came to Newton D.

about Cleveland's."

fortunately I have appointments until

unlikely man you can fnd-the' one
who looks most as II he didn't know
