WHEN THE KIDNEYS FAIL
Emmett People Have Found That
Ill Health Quickly Fol ows.

Do you ever feel that you sim
ply can't go any further-that you
must have rest from that lame
and aching back-relief from the
constant, dead-tired feeling free
! dom from those stabbing, darting,
darling pains? Likely your kid
neys are worn and tired and need
help. The kidneys work night and
day, removing uric acid from the
blood ard other waste created by
exercise of strength and energy. Nat
urally life of unusual activity
doubles the duties the kidneys
and in time the strain tells. Doan's
Kidney Pills have brought new
strength to thousands of bad backs
and quick relief to weakened kid
neys. Let them do the same for
you. Convincing proof in Emmett
testimony.
Mrs. S. e. Meyer, Second & John

to prove OF benefit. This prepare

JACKSON PROGRESSIVE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

Judge A. NJ Jackson, of Winfield,
has made his formal announcement
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. 1t has been
known for several days that Judge
Jackson would be candidate and the
other two candidates, George H.
Hodges and ]. B. Billiard, have been
laying their lines accordingly. Judge
Jackson states in his announcement
that he believes it is the wish Of the
rank and file of Democratic voters
that he become a candidate. He an
nounces himself as a progressive
Democratic candidate. His official an
nouncement containing his platform,
follows:
After mature consideration and in
obedience to what l am led to believe
Is the wish of the rank and file of
the Democrats Of Kansas, l hereby
announce myself as candidate for
governor of Kansas, upon the Demo-
cratic ticket, subject to the will of
my party at the primary.
Il stand for the progressive prin-
ciples, and endorse the national and
state Democratic platforms.
"The duties of Governor are clearly
defined by law, and he should be con.
tent with faithfully trying to execute
them without seeking to perform dll-
ties enjoined upon others.
I'VE must keep pace with the timel
yet 1t must not be so strenuous as to
be beyond our needs, wants and con-
ditions. Since We seek to impress
upon the individual that he should
not live beyond his income, We insist
that the same rule should apply to
State affairs, when the revenue ulti.
mately comes from the pockets OF the
people. While the people are willing
to pay their Just shane of taxes for
the good OF the State, yet they are
unwilling to be burdened for spec
tacular display and political office
holders.
I'VE must not be so strenuous for
the progressive cause as to hurt those
whom we should protect; in seeking
to strike the interest" let no mis-
guided blow fan upon the widows and
orphans as In our inheritance tax. We
do not claim swollen fortunes in this
state, and we should not be so en-.
ViouS of the thrift, industry and fru.
galty of him who leaves his widow
and children an estate OF at least
100000 by charging them an add.
tional tax for their joint savings
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-04-12

Therefore ann in favor of the mod
ification of this law, so that it will
either increase the amount of exemp-
tons. or entirely exempt the widows
and orphans.
Let it be remembered that our
schools, fertile lands, and sturdy citi-
zenship more effectively appeal to
the intelligence of the country, and
extend more cordial invitation for
immigration than high taxes and a
strenuous administration.
Taxes is one of the vexatious
things with which we have to deal
While every individual is willing to
contribute his part for the benefits
conferred, yet the benefits must not
be imaginary, but must be general
If those who spend Our money so Law,
iShly, and thereby increase taxation,
would be mindful that the amount
which they take from the aggregate
is in the final analysis taken from
the individual, surely they would be
more considerable.
In view of the fact that the last
few years our taxes have enormously
increased, and are now justly regard,
ed as burden, the overShadowing
question is how to stop extravaganza
and give the State a sensible bust
ness administration.
81 hold that not a cent should be
taken from the people other than is
necessary to defray the actual ex,
pense of the State, honestly and eco
nomically administered.
In matters of discretion l should
be governed by that good old fashion
ed rule of greatest good to the great
est number.
If | should have the honor Cd be
ing governor of Kansas, | pledge the
people | will give them an honest
faithful, economical administration
without the sound of the tom toms,
or the blare OF the trumpet. :"

Charles Gondorf, King of
the wiretappers," Sir John" Fray, IA
ther Of the gold brick swindle and
Fred Grandorf, were arrested in New
York in connection with conspiracy
by which Kirby Cleveland Sudbury,
a lawyer, and Joseph II. Powell, q
dentist, of Wilmington, n. C., were
swindled out of $4,000. The men are
charged with working the Old wire
tapping game. Sudbury identified
Charles Gondorf as the "Mr McDon-
ald," who introduced him to a man
who claimed to be in charge OF the
racing news bureau of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The first
scenes of the swinde took place in
Wilmington, but the actual game was
pulled off in New York. The dentist
and the lawyer were first ap-
preached by woman who introduced
them to the real swindlers. Grays
real name is said to be Joseph ka-
rowsky, and he is said to be wei!
known to the international police.
