la foolish "Bess- ums -hearst," quite ss though she were just an ordinary wem- an.
 Strangely enough, nobody said what everybody aggressiyely waited for somebody to dare tok say. By tacit agreement the question of the disposal of Buster was left until he should be quite well. So the weeks went on and search for his mother was unavailing. She had laid her plans too carefully Only the most shameless prevaricator would have dared say that Buster still needed medical attention, for he was fat and rosy and his chuckles enliv- ened his ward. He had become a per- s0nage. He was pointed out to visitors who cooed over him.
 Every resident of that hospital knew that Buster should have been sent to the Foundlings' home months before A hospital owes a duty to itself and cannot be expected to provide for waifs that are thrust upon it. Yet the word of banishnent was never spoken Buster grew and with him grew his charm, his all pervading happiness and cheerfulness.
 Tired doctors had way of stopping in to see Buster before taking up fresh burdens. Then they were seen to emerge from frolic with him smiling instead of frowning as they had when they entered the ward. Nurses reck- lessly eyated discipline to devote a few moments to him. Visitors admired him. If they admired him too fervent- ly the chief nurse of the ward always got nervous and lowered about and after they left she would pick up Bus ter and tell him. how sweet and alto gether lovable he was-tell him rather def1antly, as though to prove that mo- body else. had right to say such things to him,

seriously impaired. Property
values in the country towns
would certainly depreciate as
store after store was forced out
of business and greater burdens
of taxation would be placed
upon the farmers overburdened
shoulders. Lack of funds rails
ed by taxation would curtail the

Churches now so largely sup

piled with ministers, unless
the farmer members heavily in
creased their contributions. Pub

The plain fact is that the in

merchants are mutual.
They are partners in the bust

home market is one that buys
everything the farmer has to
sell at top market prices and
sells him everything he needs

HEED THE WARNING
Many Lexington People Have
Done So.

When the kidneys are sick
they give unmistakable warnings
that should not be ignored. By
examining the urine and treating
the kidneys upon the first sign
of disorder, many days of suf-
fering may be saved. Sick kid
neys expel a dark, iLl-smelling
urine, full of "brickdust" sed-
iment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys cause a dull
pain in the small of the back,
headaches, dizzy spells, tired, Ian
guild feelings and frequent rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for
the kidneys only. If you suf-
fer from any of the above symp-
toms you can use no better
remedy.
Lexington people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.

Why the Farmer Should Oppose
The Rural Parcels Post.

CdJlOH WOulU enable the FARMER
to have small packages of mer-
chandise delivered at his mail
box quickly and cheaply.
No one disputes this-but there
are two more sides to the ques-
ton. Here is one;
Every rural delivery carrier is
now authorized to carry mer-
chandise parcels weighing over
four pounds from your farm to
town or from town to your farm
and you, or the town man, pay
the carrier whatever you
agree is right. The proposed
postage charge would average
much higher than what you
would pay under the present
system of local delivery. Now
there is no maximum weight
limit, for the carrier can take
anything for you that he is able
carry, but it is proposed to lin.
it the weight to eleven pounds
only. This would greatly cur
tail the delivery privileges now
open to every farmer who de-
sires to use them and make,
delivery cost him more than I'M
der the present method.
Here is another side of the
question-the side seen by your
good friends, the home mer-
chants:
Big-city merchants of all kinds
would be quick to seize the
rural parcels post as a delivery
outlet, through the use of local
agents, to whom parcels would
be shipped in large quantities
by express or freight for depos-
1t in the local postoffice and
delivery by rural carriers. There
Is absolutely no way, in which
this could be prevented.
The opportunity thus afford
ed these mail-Order houses for
the development of a gigantic
trust is a most serious menace
to the farmers welfare. Every
necessary of life could in time
be monopolized through this
government postal subsidy, tax
ed against all the people and
applied for the sole benefit of
the mail-order trust. Already
Wall street sees the trend of
events and ''big business" has
become interested in fostering
and financing the parcels post
agitation. It's appetite has
been stimulated by the results
of the past few years, which
have enabled one mail order
house to pay an annual divi-
dend of 7 per cent on itsl many
millions of capital, and recently
to declare a special dividend of
33 1-3 per cent. What farmer
can ever hope to equal that
record?
The big-city mail-order mer-
chants pay no taxes of any kind
direct or indirect-in your
community. They do not help
maintain your schools, churches,
Libraries, hospitals and other
public institutions. They do
not help you build and main
tain good roads. They DID mott
give you credit and they give
you neither sympathy nor help
when misfortune comes. These
big city merchants have alb
solutely no interest in you, ex-
cepting to get hold of as many
Of your dollars as they can and
give as little return therefor as
possible.
Furthermore, the big-city
merchants do not help in any
way to maintain and build up
the home market for your pro
ducts that enables you to get
spot cash or its equivalent for
everything you have to sell. Your
location near such a town in
creases the value of your farm
and makes that farm easy to sell

STILL MEANS DELAY.

The so-called Republican State
Committee is to meet on Friday the
goth to arrange for making the
long promised change in the elector-
al ticket so that the Republican tick
ct shall contain the names only of
candidates pledged to vote for Taft
and Sherman in the Electoral Col
lege, and to enable Republicans to
vote with confidence that their votes
will count as intended.
There should be no delay in this
matter. The changes could be made
by the committee on Friday as well
as at any other time. But that is not
proposed. According to a program
which appears to have been devised
by William Finn, it is intended that
the State Committee shall appoint a
subcommittee with authority to
make the necessary substitutions in
the electoral ticket when Mr.. Finn
gets ready to have them made. That
will hold the matter up at his dis
cretion.
1t is another step to delay these
changes for another two weeks in ac-
cordance with the original purpose
of Mr.. Finn to embarrass the Taft
supporters in the State. The aggres-
siye attitude of some OF the Presi-
dents friends-of Republicans loyal
to their party-has forced an earlier
meeting of the State Committee than
was intended by the antagonistic in
fluences in control of it, but that ear
lier meeting will avail nothing in
view of the trick that is to be play
ed Of putting the substitution of cleo
tors in the hands of a subcommittee
to act when Mr.. Finn says it may.
There is no public reason-there is
no honest reason public or private
why the resignation of all the Roose-
welt electors from the Republican
ticket should not be in the hands of
the State Committee on Friday so
that their places can be Immediately
filled by loyal Taft supporters, filled
at the time by the State Committee
itself, which alone has authority to
fill vacancies on the ticket, instead
of referring it for further delay to a
subcommittee.
The trickery and falsehood and
dishonesty that have characterized
the maneuVers to postpone an act OF
common deeency that should have
been performed two months ago,
cannot but be repugnant to every

by the publishers should be marked
as an advertisement or private name
of the writer signed thereto. In my
judgment this provision is not only
needless, but will be positively harm
full as it will require the continuous
use of valuable space in the publ
cation and at the same time be re-
sented as a censorship of the press.
lone of the greatest difficulties
now encountered in the enforcement
of the laws relating to the second
class mail privileges is the fact that
the postoffice department is under it's
duty compelled to make inquiry into
many aspects of the private business
of publishers. This gives rise to the
complaint, though ill-founded, that
the government carries on a needless
interference with the privileges of
the press. The only possible service
to be rendered by such a provision
would be the identification of the
owners and writer's of newspapers
and periodicals in order to hold them
for contractual obligations or for
libelous printed matter, both of
which would be matters under the
jurisdiction of the state and not the
federal authorities"
Up to the present time the freak"
legislation affecting newspapers does
not appear to have aroused much re-
sentiment on the part of the press of
the country, but we are of the opin-
ion that when this obnoxious act is
enforced it will not be regarded with
so much indifference.
A curious thing about the business
is the allegation that the amendment
was sponsored by Representative
Barnhardt, who is the publisher of a
little sheet out in Rochester, Ind, a
town of 5000 inhabitants.
1t seems to us that when the news
papers desire to act on this meddle-
some law they can find relief in the
brief constitutional provision which
ought to protect them from the ef-
forts of assinine lawmakers of the
Indiana brand. Congress shall
make no law abridging the freedom
of speech or of the press" has stood
the tests of a century. 1t ought to
come between the press and the freak
lawmaker whenever it is invoked.
