a New Back For An Olo One. How
1t Can Re Done n. Dotosl

Ooh uS OVu0 ia pVlUSI.
The back aches at times with a dull
indescribable feeling, making YOU
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the regions of kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame that
to stoop is agony. No use to rub or
apply plaster to the back while in
this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for
new and stronger one. Potosi resi.
dents would do we'll to profit by the
following example,
d. 2. Kerlagon, Pennington, Mo-,
says: There is no doubt in nv mind
about Doan's Kidney Pills being .
remedy of merit. l have tested this
remedy on several occasions during
the past two years when having attacks
OF the backache and it has never failed
to give me almost immediate relief,
My first experience was in the fall
OF 1906. At that time was suffering
from lame and aching back, and
was often in such bad way that /
could hardly straighten after STOPPING.
When Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention, l procured .
supply and it required less than the
contents Of one box to cure me.
About six weeks ago l felt slight
symptoms OF q recurrence of my trouble
but few doses of Doans Kidney pills
again removed the attack"

A Roosevelt boosting organi-
zation was formed at Jefferson
City last week with State Game
Warden Jesse A. Tolerton at the
head of it. An active campaign
will be made by this organization
to have the Missouri delegation
to the national convention in
structed for Roosevelt Nearly
every congressional district in
the state is represented in this
movement, and if the rank and
file of the party are allowed to
voice their sentiments as to their
choice for the presidency, Mr..
Roosevelt will probably get the
delegation.

About the meanest partisan
action that ever developed in the
political warfare between the
Democrats and the Republicans
in Missouri is the embargo
placed on the salaries of Supreme
Judge Brown and State Super
intendent of Schools Evans, by
the Democratic contestees for
their offices. Both Judge Brown
and Mr.. Evans have been giving
their time to public service for
more than a year and neither
has drawn cent of his salary.
This action to restrain these
Republican officials from claim
ing their rights was taken under
an old and almost forgotten sta
tute that had never, so far as the
memory of present generation
extends, been invoked before.
The contestees, however, have
taken the case before the su-
preme court to test the consti-
tutionality of the statute. JUS
tice toward the men who were
elected to the offices in which
they are serving demands that
this legal restraint, which had
it's instigation in political spite
and malice, be removed.

The Giving Of Dances By Church.

Dances are being held in Guild
Hall, Milwaukee, under the aus.
pices of the St. James Church,
and it is prepared to extend its
scheme by the opening of free
dancing school for the children
of the parish. The plan is adopt
ed as a means of com mbating the
public dance h all, which is
charged with the ruin of thous-
ands of young girls every year.
Their method of saving girls
is going to rouse to Indignation
a certain type of religious sensi-
bility which would almost rather
see the poor things ruined than
have them saved by means not
provided for by the tenets of a
narrow traditionalism.
1t is unfortunate that there are
SO many engaged in the work Of
salvation that are quite unarpre
ciative of certain native instincts
and quite proper ones, too
that go to compose the personal
makeup Of the people they are
attempting to save. This is no
criticism of their integrity or
the sincerity of their convictions.
Nor is it to forget that safety
lies on the side of conservatism
rather than on that of spirit of
hasty innovations. But the fact
of the case is that there are
certain things that young people
are going to do; that it is even
the law of their physical consti-
tuition to do, so that it is viola
ton of their constitution if they
don 40 them.
Dancing is one of them. 1t is
as much a young girls nature
to dance. as it is for a calf or
kitten to frOlic. 1t is a species
of physical appetite. Even an
adults toes will twitch accompa-
niment to dance music. This
appetite is an ordinance of the
girls being, and if it is repressed
at a good point it will break out
at a bad one.
A great deal of deviltry is
simply the result of wholesome
impulse that has been throttled.
More than half of boys mis-
ahieyousness is due to abrupt
and forcible closing of avenues
Of egress. Any locomotive
boiler will explode if too much
pressure is put on the throttle.
| Now that is evidently the idea
of these Milwaukee church men
and church women. The girls
of Milwaukee are going to dance
Animal spirits that have no vent

Unfair and UngentiemanIy.

The saying that everything is iair in
love, war and politics may he all right,
but ii the rumor that is now current in
Shoshone is founded on facts, there is
reason to question its adaptability in some
instances at least. As will he noted 10y
reference to the primary ticket published
in another colomn, the name of Stella
Cook. Of Shoshone, appears ~ a candi-
date lnr the nomination Tor County Su-
perintendrnt Of Schools on the ticket
formulated by the Non-Partisan Voters
league. Miss Cook at the present time
holds Il position as teacher in the public
schools AT Shoshonc, which she has filled
10 the universal satisfaction ui the patrons
ol the school. While in the county seat
hear it rnnored that the the three-coun-
~ divisionists had approached Miss Cook
with threat that ii she did not with
draw from the ticket, she would he de-
privcd OF the school there another year
\ little inquiry indicated that the rumor
Was we'll founded.
Miss Cook however, is not the only
candidate that has been approached with
like threats by the Gooding gang. 1t
simply shows the desperation these PEG
pie have been driven To, and their threat,
against Miss Cook should he considered
far beneath the dignity OF gentlemen, ano
ii this sort OF tactics is to he resorted to
it will make more certain than ever til,
nomination and election OF this estima

A Dangerous Practice.

Our attention has been called to the
tamperiisg with United States mails that
may get some one in very serious trouble

package OF mail matter addressed to one
OF our business firms Was found hidden
in the weeds near the postoflice. Yester-
day morning another package was found
near the SaInr place, all ol the letters
having been opened.
1t il easy Ia trace the perpetrators OF
these acts to gang oi youngsters who
hang abom the lobby of the postoilice,
manipulating the combinations until they
find lme box they can open, when the
mail j. distracted, in the hopes OF find
ing some money in the letters.
We cannot believe thai these youngs-
tiers realize the SERIOUSNESS OF the Grim,
they are committing. and trust they may
heed this warning or some one Is liabl,

Shoshone was all excitement Monday
morning 10y the report that safe blowers
had been plying their avocations the
night previous Inquiry revealed the
TACT that some thief had entered the office
OF the Gem State Lumber Co. and ran
sacked the safe which fortunately had
been unlocked The safe was known Ia
contain five pMage stamps and six pen
nies. The manager found the safe locked
in the morning. but it had been 50 long
since this had occurred before that he
had forgotten the combination and ii
was some time before it could be opened.
II was then found that the entire con-
tents had been taken, though the liber-
aliy of the thief had been manifested by
leaving one penny and carefully locking
the safe ior fear another might abstract
the last penny belonging To the firm.

A week or So ago We noted the TACT
that some reaction had taken place in
the real estate market, hut u; the request
Of one of our real estate delrars, who as
snred MS that he spoke for the rest OF the
dealers. the details of the transactions
were suppressed until such time as the
announcement was made that the lid
was off," Subsequent Developments in
dictate that the request was made through
purely selfish motives on the part OF this
certain dealer, and imagine the surprise
of his brother dealers to read in the col
umns of another paper last week the de
tails of A few sales this dealer had made,
thus breaking his pledge to his brother
dealers and acting very unfair in his
treatment OF the Times. Hereafter We
will probably know how TO treat requests
made 10y this gentleman.
