The sixteenth anniversary Of the death
Of DR.. Jose Rizal. national hero Of the
Fiiipinos and a martyr In the cause Of
liberty, was observed with marked revtr-
ence and patriotism by the Filipino Club
at Odd Fellows Hail last night.
Tho principal speaker was DR.. Rizars
nephew, Alfredo Hidalgo. a graduate OF

ate of the George Washington School of
Political Economy. He spoke of ''Remi-
niscences of DR.. Jose Rial" Mr
Hidalgo Is pursuing his studies with the
view OF representing his country in
Washington.
"Rizal has oftimes been compared with
Washington said Mr.. Hidalgo. Both
of them were born leaders OF their re-
spective countries. But mark the con-
trast- Providence has been more gen
erous with Washington. he lived to see
the independence OF his country. Rizal.

afternoon; his sympathetic and wtnsome

Notwithstanding the turbulent times, he

The second and last time / had
glimpse of him was on the very day of

a gloomy day, heavy clouds lowered in

IN THE NEW SENATE.

The closeness of the party divis
ion in the Senate OF the new con-
gress which is to meet in extra
session is likely to promote judicious
action, probably non-partisian ac-
ton.
There was a time when every re-
publican senator was a high tariff
man whose vote the trusts could
command, but it exists no longer.
The extra session OF the SiXty-seC
ond congress showed that rapubl-
cans as we'll as democrats could be
depended upon to support measures
for the correction OF monopoly and
the relief of the people.
1t was this nOn-partiSlan alliance
against privilege, graft anG oppres-
sion which made the voices of the
bills reducing the cost OF living
doubly regrettable. Many people be-
lieve that wise tariff revision musn
finally proceed from the enlighten-
ed and unhampered members Of
both parties. 1t is certain that ii
the changes that are to be made can
be brought about in that way, the
effect upon the country will be more
impressive and upon business less
disquieting than would be the case
if they sprang wholly from action by
one party.
Democrat reform bills should be
so Just and reasonable that repub
licans not openly in the service OF
the trusts can find no excuse for op-
position. New York World.

Y. II. McGINNIS FOR CONGRESS-.

All conditions considered, V. R.
McGinnis made an exceptionally
strong race for. congress in the
election just passed. He is a man
of rare ability and absolute, unquali-
fieh integrity. The battle was waged
in the wrong year for him to be
elected, but it was not waged with
out it's value to the democratic
party of this district.
An organization was partially
formed which can be made the nu-
cleus of a powerful and successful
one. That organization can be more
effective if it continues it's fight for
democracy under the leadership Of
V. R. McGinnis than it could by
starting all over with new man.
Let's get busy now and start to
put V. r. McGinnis into congress
two years from now. When it is all
said and DONE, his election means
more to the eighth Iowa district
than it does to him.-Osceoia
Democrat.

A STITCH IN TIME.
Leon People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approaching
dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease.
Kidney disease is seldom fatal if
treated in time, but neglect may pave
the way. Don't neglect a lame or
aching back another day. Don't ig-
more dizzy spells, irregular or dis
collored urine, headaches, WEAKNESS
or depression. If you feel you need
kidney help begin using the reliable
time-tried remedy, Doan's Kidney
Pills. For so years, Doan's have
been found effective. Endorse by
Leon people
Mrs F. M. Coder, Eleventh St.,
Leon, Iowa, says: II do not hesitate
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
for the purposes for which their use
is intended. I have taken this rem
edy and have found it to be one of
great merit curing kidney complaint
and backache. Doan's Kidney Pills

BRYAN AS SECRETARY OF STATE

The New York World which has
heretofore been one of Mr.. Bryan's
most bitter Of political foes, has the
following editorial on his rumored
appointment to Wilson's cabinet.
"Whether Mr.. Bryan is qualified
to be Secretary of State can best be
determined by comparing him with
the men who have filed that office
during the last fifty years.
THE present Secretary of State is
Philander G. Knox, who was consti-
tutionally disqualified for the office
at the time of his selection and
whose most notable diplomatic
achievement was to turn the State
Department into a collection agency
for Wall Street.
MIR. KnoX's predecessor was Rob-
ert Bacon, partner OF }. Plerpont
Morgan.
Mr.. Bacon's predecessor was Eli
hui Root, the ablest man to hold the
place in a generation.
"Mr Roots predecessor was John
Hay, who was a very able Secretary
of State but who lacked the physi-
cal vitality to oppose successfully the
lingo policies of President McKin-
ley successor.
'Mr Hays predecessor was Will
liam r. Day, who was pitchforked
into office for few months after
John Sherman broke down.
''Mr. Days predecessor was John
Sherman, who was physically and
mentally incapable of discharging
the duties of Secretary Of State, but
was appointed in order to create a
vacancy in the senate for the benefit
of Mark Hanna.
'Mr. Sherman predecessor was
Richard Olney, who will be remem-
bered chiefly for his connection with
the Venezuela episode, and Mr.. Oh
ney's predecessor was Judge Ores
ham, from whom much was expect
ed and little was obtained.
Judge Gresham s predecessor was
John w. Foster, who finished
Blaine's term after Blaine resigned
from Harrison's cabinet to head the
conspiracy to deprive Harrison of
denomination. And so the story
runs Blaine, Bayard, Frelinghuy-
sen, Blaine again, Evarts, Fish,
.Washburn, and Seward-Mr. Bryan
need not feel much embarrassed in
such company, nor would any of that
company feel embarrassed to know
that Mr.. Bryan was numbered
among his successors.
Great Secretaries of State have
been few, and occasions that called
for a great Secretary of State have
happily been fewer. Mr. Bryan
would never be a satisfactory Secre-
tary of State for the champions of
Dollar Diplomacy or for millionaires
who regard the diplomatic corps as
an annex to the Four Hundred. But
we believe that his attitude toward
foreign questions is the attitude of {;
vast majority Of the American
people, and we observe that the OPP
position to his appointment comes
chiefly from people who want the
State Department to remain sub
sidiary Wall Street corporation.

 The father who tipples. or who leans heavily on the, mans right to practice polygan1y, becomes too fre- quently the slayer of his babes.
 Tho comparatively unimp portant part played by the so-called infectious diseases is shown by the circumstance that only little more than four in hundred are so destroyed. while all most 40 per cent. die of intestinal troubles, due to unclean bottle nurs- ing, flies, or filth.
