ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should
Convince Any Missouri
Valley Citizen

The public endorsement of q
local citizen is the best proof
that can be produced. None
better, none stronger can be
had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends
and neighbors, you may be sure
he is thoroughly convinced or
he would not do so. Telling
ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act of
kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following state
ment given by a resident of
Missouri Valley, adds one more
to the many cases of Home En-
dorsement which are being
published about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read it.

Shenandoah Chautauqua
Thing OF The Past

The mass meeting called for
Wednesday evening at the sup
erior court room to consider
the matter of another chautau
Qua and the closing up of the
business of the old one was at
tended by six citizens and two
chautauqua agents. Nothing
was done. The board Will fig
ure up the shortage of the last
chautauqua, collect the losses
from the guarantors and quit
business.
The continued losses from
year to year prove pretty con
clusively that Shenandoah Is
not a chautauqua town. About
five hundred people here are
interested and the others do
not care anything about it,
More season tickets can be sold
any year at Essex or Farrsgut
than in Shenandoah, for enter
tainment courses THAT do not
cost half so much. Sentimental

Within a week the Democ,

Within a week the Democrat
ic tariff bill will be a law. For
four months OF a Washington
summer, after president Wilson
had called Congress In extra
session, the Legislators labored
with the tariff problem. The
result is a bill which represents
an average reduction OF % per
cent from the rates OF the ex-
listing Payne-Aldrlch Law.
The bill as 1t passed the Senate
carried reductions of more than
| q per cent below the House bill
President Wilson has expressed
heartiest approval of the bill as
it passed Congress and went to
conference for final action. He
expressed his approval in the
following statement::-A fight
for the people and for tree
business which has lasted a
long generation through has at
last been won, handsomely and
completely. A leadership and
a steadfastness in counsel has
been shown in both houses of
which the Democratic party
has reason to be very proud.
There has been no weakness or
confusion or drawing back, but
a statesman-like directness and
command of circumstances. II
am happy to have been connect
ed with the government of the
nation at a time when such
things could happen and 10 have
worked in ASSOCIATION with men
who could do them. There is
every reason to believe that
currency legislation will be car
ried through with equale nergy,
directness and loyalty to the
general interest. When that
is gone this first session of the
sixty-third Congress will have
passed into history with an un-
rivaled distinction. | want to
express my special admiration
for the devoted, intelligent and
untiring work of Mr.. Under
wood and Mr.. Simmons ard the
committee association with
them.

Prohibiting FireWdter and Fireworks

The country has just experienced really sane
Fourth of July Comparatively few casualties re-
ported as result of this years celebration of the
nations birthday In most cities the sale of explosives
was prohibited In the city of Chicago this Prohibi-
ton law was in effect The CHEF Of police announced
his intention to see it that it be enforced. In few
in the outlying sections of the city attempts
were made sell recrackers and other explosives to
the small boy but vigilant policeman soon appre-
hended the aw-defying merchant. AS result no
small boys life sacrificed by the dynamite route.
We haven't heard howl go up from the manufac
urers of fireworks that personal liberty has been in
terfered with. We haven't heard any woud-be
statesman declare that this Prohibition law was
failure because folks insisted selling fireworks
in spite of the law. The fact is the Prohibition ordi
nances enacted in the interest of Fourth are
success and shining example of what Pro-
hibition can do with little effort and efficient
police force back of it.
In the meantime Chicagos thousand and
more saloons continue do business in the sale Of fire
water, which demands bigger death toll for every
week in the year than fireworks exacted in the entire
year. and all this because some folks insist that you
can't prohibit the sale of death-dealing commodity
without interfering with personal liberty and that
people will sell it anyway.

l must confess that | am at heart a
friend of the Turk. 1t may be merely
association. l have known him many
years. But there is about him some.
thing which / cannot help liking-a
simplicity. manliness, a dignity. /
like his fondness for water and flow
ers and green meadows and spreading
trees. like his love of children.
like his pecfect manners. | like his
sobriety. l like his patience. l like
the way he faces death. One of the
things like most abput him is what
has been most his undoing-his lack Of
any commercial instinct.
| like. too. what no one has much
noticed-the artistic side OF him. | do
not know Turkish enough to appreci.
ate his literature. and his religion for.
bids him. or he imagines it does, to en-.
gage in the plastic arts. But in archi-
lecture and certain forms of decoration
he has created y school OF his own. II

any Anatolian town Is more pictur-
esque than the others. The old pal
ace OF the sultanS In ConStantinople,

mosques. the theological schools, the
tombs. the fountains of the Turks, are
an achievement which deserves a more
serious study than has been given it
You may tell me- that these things
are not Turkish. because they were
modelled after Byzantine originals or
because Greeks and Persians had much
to do with building them. But l shall
answer that every architecture was
