A REMEDY NOT TOO RADICAL

The New York World is democrat

ton of a republican assembly in New
York state, that being in its view the
only way to rid the law making body
of the empire state from the faint of
Murphyism. To the average party
man in the south it would appear that
the World was offering a rather radi-
cal remedy. That is because the av-
erage party. man in the south does
not understand, fully the menace of
Murphyized politics.-Raleigh IN. c.

ANOTHER GEM

The Marion county booklet, Facts
and Photos" is upon our desk. 1t is
one of the very best of the city or
county publications of the class that
have thus far come to our notice. 1t
Is gotten up upon an original and uni
que plan. in that it appeals to the
actual demonstration of Photographic
accuracy for its effect. OF its forty
four pages all save seven are filed
with beautifully clear and carefully
selected reproductions of photographs
Of scenes in all portions of this ia
vored county.
There is nothing that appeals so di
rectly and forcibly to the mind and is
SO convincing as pictures; words may
be graphic and eloquent, but they re-
quire imagination to supplement their
effect. The photograph never misrep-
resents.
The few pages of text are master
pieces of succinct condensation
They contain just enough information
In tabloid form to create hunger for
more: and the reader is told where
he can get it. He is even furnished
with addressed post cards upon which
to make the request.
The money invested in this book.
let was money well spent and cannot
fail to earn compound interest in the
shape of settlers and investors. We
hope it may bring ten for every dol
lar expended. If we were about half

MRS. ANNA WILSON COMMITTED

The case of the state of Florida
against Mrs. Anna Wilson, charged
with the killing of her husband, was
tried before Judge W. E. Smith Fri
day, the trial consuming nearly the
entire day.
Mrs. Wilson was represented by
Mr.. Edwin Spencer, Jr, and the
states interest was looked after by
Judge William Gober. The states
witnesses said that the defendant
was very frequently cruelty treated
by her husband. and this was partic-
ularly the case when he was under
the influence of liquor, and altogether
the state made out a rather weak
case against the defendant, and al
though she confessed to having killed
her husband it was pretty conclus-
lively shown that she did so under
great provocation, and. according to
her statement, in self defense.
Mrs. Wilson was bound over TO the
grand jury in the sum OF one thou
sand dollars.

MORE TROUBLE FOR suLzER

We suppose that Murphy and Tam
many. Hall will be blamed for it, but
nevertheless there seems to be more
trouble for Sulzer.
World says:
Warden Clancy of Sing Sing has
been in conference with the attor.
lney general several times during the
last two weeks. Mr.. Clancy's disclos-
ures, it is said, furnish the basis for
the confident assertion of state off.
cials that Mr.. Sulzer will not take his
seat in the next legislature.
"The story, when fully told, it is
said. will furnish sensational chap
ter in the Murphy-Sulzer fight.
"Sulzer and his aides, who attempt
ed to drag out OF Stilwell in return
for promised pardon, testimony that
would furnish grounds for the indict-
ment of men high in Tammny Hall,
were tricked, if the story that is be-
ing whispered in Official circles, is
true.
The detectaphone, which Sulzer
had his detectives take to Sing Sing
for the purpose of recording secretly
all that Stilwen said, did not get what
was declared to be set forth in the
now famous Black Book. That book
if state officials are to be believed, is
spurious. The real work that the de.
tectaphone did will be used, it is as
serted, as the basis for a prosecution
of Mr.. Sulzer himself.
THE former governor, according to
the plans of the attorney-generaPs of
fee, will be charged with violating
an important provision of the state
prison law, an indietable offense."

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
az they control the other organs to a re-
maIkable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the polsons
ard waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less wafer and often eat more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended. Evil
dence of kidney trouble. such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys I. quire help i'm
mediately TO avoid more serious trouble.
= Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or OPT
ates has the most healing influence. An
ideal herbal compound that has had most
remarkable success as a kidney and blad-
der remedy is DR.. Klmers Swamp Root.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Pest. Address

DENTISTRY FOR TREES.
All Cavities Should Be Treated as Soon
as They Appear.

Whether it is shade or fruit tree
little judicious treatment Of a cavity
will often save the tree for many
years of usefulness. Whether it be a
branch or the main trunk the treat
ment will be the same. First all de-
cayed or apparently decaying or dis
eased wood should be removed with a
sharp chisel or knife until perfectly
sound heartwood Is exposed. 1mmedi-
ately wash the wound with solution
of copper sulphate in the proportion Of
one pound of sulphate to FIVE gallons
of water.
AS soon as this has been done fill the
cavity with a thin mortar made by
mixing one part of cement with three
parts Of clean sand When it has be-
come stiff. but not hard. face it on the
outside with thin cement. using
trowel to smooth the cement over all
parts that have become injured. If
cavity or split should occur near fork
of the tree it would be an additional
safeguard to put a long bolt through
both branches so as to hold them to-
gether When the cement hardens in
a cavity the trunk will be perfectly
solid. and decay will be arrested

SILLY IDEA THAT DIES HARD
Average Man, In Throes of Discon.
tent, Finds SoIace in the
Phrase, "Pass a Law"

In the course of an interesting dis
cussion in the department called "The
Interpreters House," in the American
Magazine, appears the following:
when something happens that we
do not like, what is the first thing we
say? There ought to be law
against it, Every time! That is the
unconscious tribute we all pay to the
queerest, the most naive and stupid
superstition in world where all SUI
perstition dies hard enough-that all
you need to do to stop anything Is
to pass law against it.
mo amount of experience, appar-
emily, will free the minds of men from
the incubus, the hoodoo, of this ex-
traordinary superstition. No matter
what the issue! If you want to stop
gambling, splitting, combinations of
capital or of labor, prostitution, college
fraternities, the high cost of living,
arson, saloons, monopoly in restraint
of trade, the turkey trot, burglary,
tips, walking on the grass-whatever
it is, there is only one thing to do
pass a law against it. Then every
body will be contented; everybody
will believe that the offense will cease
at once, or at least as soon as you
have gotten a sufficient number Of
people in Jail. Only get enough laws
passed, and, above all, If you can
only get enough people in jail, you
have realized the average mans mill
