THE SORT NEEDED.

Parties who seem to be familiar
with the situation say that in the
Milton-Freewater country Principal
1. E. Young of the Milton schools,
who is running for the republican
nomination for county superintend-
ent, will get -four out of every five
votes cast for superintendent at the
primary election. Perhaps it is an
overestimate, yet the fact that Mr..
Young has strong support in the east
end of the county is very apparent
and it speaks well for his candidacy
1t indicates that during the four
years he las been at the head of
the Milton public schools he has ac-
quired a good reputation as an eff
ficient school man. That is the type
of man needed in the county super
intendent's office.

and hat our policies r belated.
Our laws lag almost a generation be-
hind our business conditions n our
political e~xigencies-
Those who insist upon undertake
ing h adjustment. those who argue
that our laws should be brought up
to date-to the III marked upon
the calendar Of our economic advance
and change-are called radicals. not
because they would change the facts.
but because they would adjust the
law to the facts. The maladjustment
which they point out is so great that
men are startled at the picture and
think that only extreme nj hasty
and violent measures may be thought
adequate TO meet the extraordinary
circumstances which radical" re-
formers pitilessly point out.
There is going to be no Johns
town flood; the lam is made Of good,
stubborn masonry. is not going to give
suddenly away. II is. on the contrary
gcing to be gradually replaced by
vell-considered conservative engineer
ing with new, well-ordered channels,
into which the released waters may
pass and in which as they run they
may be used to turn the machinery
of a still greater industrial organi-
zation than that which we have so
far built up-an organization more
justly put together. an organization
whose parts shall be assembled ana
operated in a way more suitable to
free opportunity and untrammeled
achievement"
Those are not the words Of an III
ira radical but of a clear thinking.
patriotic statesman who sees the
faults in our political life and would
90 about in an intelligent. sincere ef-
fectiye way to correct them. Wood
row Wilson is the ablest candidate
either party las brought forth for
the presidency, because he mas a bet
ter head than any other man in the
race n because along with his
wonderful intellect he has great per-
scnal vigor and courage as has been
shown by the reformation he brought
about in New Jersey.

\ SONG OF CHEER.

A cheer for the dandelion; a cheer for
each blade of grass;
A cheer for the boy who whistles, and
one for the laughing lass;
A cheer for the sunny morning; a
cheer for the bright blue sky,
And a cheer for the fragrant blossoms
that are coming by and by.
A cheer for the pleasing valley, where
the full stream winds along;
A cheer for the hopeful robin, begin
nuing the day with song;
A cheer for the hillside pasture, where
where the wild rose waits to
blow.
And a cheer for the golden willow.
with its reassuring glow.
A cheer for the green things ~peeping
from under the dead, brown
leaves;
A cheer for the doves that proudly
are cooling upon the caves;
A cheer for the warm sun shining
away for all it Is worth;
A cheer for the cheerful sunset. and
a cheer for the good old earth.

THE CIGAR THAT FAILED.

Billy" said Horatio Hardrocks, ad-
dressing his son in law. who had Just
finished his wedding journey. do You
know. that you had a mighty narrow
escape before you married my daugh-
ter?"
The cool, calculating business man
had a cigar that he liked and he was
therefore. in a good humor. Billy
Munson looked at him rather curious
ly for a moment and then replied:
"Oh, I've had a number of narrow
escapes in my time
But this one said Mrs. Hardrocks
was perhaps the narrowest Of them
ALL
He blew out a few rings of smoke
and contemplated them with pleasure
as they floated toward the ceiling.
Yes" he continued, "I had made
up my mind to discharge you. Your
work wasn't satisfactory and 1 had
even gone so far as to notify my sec.
rotary to inform you that you SER
vices vac to be dispensed with"
Billy Munson was silent, but he did
not seem to be at all disturbed. ,
WELL" the older man sair, "you
don't appear to be astonished."
mo. The fact Is I knew 1t at the
time. Your secretary told me-"
"He told you, did he? And you
had the presumption, knowing how
7 felt toward you, to ask my daughter
to be your wife. I am surprised to
hear you say So"
81 can't see why you should be sur
prised, sir. You see, l realized that
it was time for me to do something
to make my position secure"
For a moment Horatio Hardrocks
gazed steadily at his son-in-law. Then
he tossed his cigar into the crate. 1t
had ceased to be comforting.

TOO BIG.

The Father of Waters is a muddy
stream, especially below the point
where the Missouri empties into the
big river and it's channel bed has
been 20 elevated that it is pretty diff
ficult to keep the water from mum
dating the surrounding country, even
when leyees are used. Furthermore,
when the Mississippi overflows it de-
mands a lordly area for its W and
takes 1t regardless Of the wishes or
the welfare Of the people, as is shown
by the reports from Cairo, Memphis
and other points in the valley.

ALL,s RIGHT WITH THE WORLD

The poles have been FOUND,
Napoleon's dead:
The grounding from the ground
Has put out his head.
The Manchus have fled,
The first robin dares
To appear on the bough;
He perspires who wears
A fur collar now;
To the north the wild geese
Will soon wing their flight;
Though prices increase
And the poles are snow-white.
Let the grumbling cease,
The world Is all right.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Important to Everyone

Il is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do tremendous amount of work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by altering 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 neavy food. thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence of
kidney trouble. such as lame back,
inability 10 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
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most
healing influence. An ideal herbal
compound that has had most remark
able success as a kidney and bladder
remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
