RESIDENT RETURNS
FROM OLD COUNTRY

John E. Elkingtol has returned from
his trip to England and France and has
many startling narratives to tell. He
went abroad last summer and spent
most of the time in the vicinity of Lon
don and in France He went to France
in order to get as near as..possible to the
firing line but was not permitted to go
very near where fighting was actually
taking place. He saw many, many of
the wounded both in France and
in his native country and soldiers were
everywhere. Practically all the public
buildings have been converted into hos
pitfalls and the poor fellows are being
giving the best care possible. Thou
sands more of the wounded are expect
ed before the great conflict has ended.
Mr.. Ellington sailed from Liverpool,
had stormy voyage, landed at Port
land, Maine, and came through Canada
to the United States. He reached home
just in time for the wedding of his
daughter.

C0RRODGRA7ION
Of Interest to Baraboo
Readers.

For months Baraboo citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic praise
of Doan's Kidney Pills by Baraboo resi-
dents. Would these prominent people
recommend remedy that
had not proven reliable? Would
thev confirm their state
7nents after years had elapsed ifperson-
al experience had not shown the RENE
DIV to be worthy Of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con-
viction to the mind of every Baraboo
reader.
C. H. Carr, 927 Second street, Bara-
boo, Wis, says: Il have used Doan's
Kidney Pills at different times for sew
eral years. Ihave found them to be a
very good remedy for strengthening
the kidneys and clearing the system of
uric poison. Doan's Kidney Pills al
ways bring prompt relief. Others of
my family have taken them with good
results. l have recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills before and l am glad to
endorse them again. y

few weeks ago, George was expected
to stay on the claim all winter. But
he must have gotten a notion to visit
the folks at Spring Green, John said,
and started on the railroad journey I'M
beknown to any of his relatives. John
was sure his brother had plenty of
money leaving home and could account
for his financial embarrassment only on
the theory that he fell among crooks
in Minneapolis or ST. Paul. The near

chased after he left Ludlow.

crease in cereal production of 1S per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the worlds population shows an increase of only three per cent.
 The gain in production far exceeds that of our increase in population, and it is safe to estimate that the farmer can easily increase production 25 per cent if a remunerative market can be found for the products. In textile flores the world shows an increase during the past half decade in prodUc- tion of IS per cent against a popula- tion increase of three per cent.
 The people of this nation should address themselves to the subject of improved facilities for distribution.

The result of the contest for woman suffrage and prohibition Tn a number of states, directs attention to the two issues. Sev- eral million people have shown enthusiastic interest in these two questions, it naturally appears to the initiated that there ought not to be any question about Congress considering the sub- jects. But the same influences against which the country re- volted and called "Cannonism. :" are still maintaining so thorough a stranglehold on Congress and it's rules, that it is impossible to get these matters before Con- gress. For several months du- ring the present year it was pos bIe for the House Committee on Rules. composed of eleven mem- bers, to prevent the issue com ing before Congress. The same committee of eleven can defeat the will of the entire House of Representatives at the coming session If they so desire to do. The voters in the different dis tricts may think it an easy mat ter for tbeir brilliant representa- tlves to present any particular matter of legislation. but the rules are mightier than the Con- grsss. It is vety much of a ques- on whether the Prohibitionists or the Suffragists will be able to secure consideration for their bills before the adjournment of the third sestion of the Sixty third Congress.

When it was proposed that Uncle Sam should regulate the railroads of the country. one of the first of the Interstate Com merce Commissioners said it was 'superhuman task" He would have none of it, neither for him. self or for the commission. How ever, the broader idea prevailed, and the American people insisted that the railroads should no lon ger control public affairs, and they sought to become masters of the situation, and finally suc- ceeded. The day has arrived when the railroads are using bill boards in Washington to "state their side of the case" The railway lobbyists up to few years ago were all-powerful in the national and state capitals. but they were driven out by a public opinion which they had outraged. The result was that for number of years the rail- road companies were almost per secuted. Then came a reaction and a feeling among the Ameri- can people that the companies should have their just rights. The railroads, ever looking for advantages, sat tight and tried to put it over" on Uncle Sam, but they were always defeated. The presidents of the railroads have been coming to Washington for the last year, and they have frankly stated their case, and, like a lot of good sports. ''laid their cards on the table" The result is that there is a clearer understanding of conditions; and the government, which now regulates railroads, even though it was a "superhuman task" has shown a disposition to do just about what is right.

Panama-Pac Show
 Will Open on Time

The following communication has been received from the Gov ernor's office at Phoenix by THE NEWS, and is self-explanatory:
 Pacific Panama International
 Exposition,
 San Francisco.
 Office of the President.
 November 4th, 1914. Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt.
 Governor of Arizona,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 My Dear Governor Hunt:
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Panama-Paclfic International Exposition is 95 per cent com pleted, that our space is over applied for, that participation ar- engagements by the states of the nation are the greatest ever known in exposition history. that notwithstanding the European war. we shall have with us as active participants as many for eign nations as have ever been represented at any exposition, and notwithstanding the fact that all transportation experts agree that the war will actually increase attendance here in 1915, rumors are rife in your state that the exposition, because of the war, will be postponed.
 These rumors are utterly with out foundation. Our loss in ex- hibits by nations at war will be negligible in our aggregate. The standing of the exposition as a factor in the economic situation resulting from war. and as a fac tor in securing new markets by American producers is being realized by the largest and most alert manufacturers in this coun- try, and from the commercial side the exposition becomes more important than ever. The honor and prestige of every state and of every city in this country. and the pride of every American ci- tizen are involved in the success of this great national celebration of the completion of the Pana- ma canal.
 The above considerations jus tify me in asking you to lend your vigorous assistance in our effort to silence these rumors by publishing the facts. The expo sition will open on schedule time, February 2Oth. 1915. It will be | 100 per cent completed when opened. It is sure of being the greatest and most important in history, and promises today, re- gardless of the war. to have influence beyond all precedent.
 Will you not as an American and one directly inter ested in the success of thIs en- terprise, take active measures to assure the public as above.
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) CHAs. c. MOORE.
 President.
