Put That Pain to Use

The network OF nerves in your body,
like the network OF wires in a burglar
alarm system. gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be. neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Baekache is a common warning Of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be duh, nagging pain. or
a sharp twinge when stopping or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
OF urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, respondent. tired feelings.
It is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first. but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Brights disease.

neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used sor years all over the civilized

and drinking lots of pure water.

FEW NOW WHO FAVOR RECALL
Roosevelt Idea Seems to Have Been
RELOCATED 20 the List of Ex-
ploded crazes.

The theory of the recall of judges
which reached enactment in some
states and was widely advocated by
the more radical elements in others,
seems to be losing ground and gradu-
ally falling into the list of exploded
crazes. One of the prominent exam
pies Of the change is Governor Osborn
of Michigan, who was two years ago
advocating the nonsense Of the Pro-
gressive program. He now perceives
the weakness of the proposal for sub
hitting Judicial recall to popular cleo
ton and advocates the election Of
judges for life in order to free them
from political domination. But he
mixes up the matter by talking about
tie removal of unfit judges by petit
tion at popular elections. which would
be putting their official tenure under
political influence.
in the advocacy Of leaving the judi
cial power uninfuenced by politics
there is no cultivation of the belief
that the judges are perfect. They are
human like every other instrumental
ity. But the undoubted need of inn
proving their hardness and their ten
dency to observe preserib I'd forms
rather than to deal out justice Is not to
be met by making them subject to the
favor of politics or making their deci-
sions liable to be overturned by the
popular opinion a. given election.
1t is essential to the administration Of
justice that 1t shall be as free as pos
sible from subservience TO the popular
within of the movement. This is only
to be done by making the judicial
tenure either for life or for long
terms except in cases where the mis-
conduct is so fragrant as to require
removal by impeachment
1t should be understood that both
courts and legal practice require posi-
tive reforms. But even as they are,
they are better than any other known
forms of setting the questions with
which they deal.

The nation was given an inspiring

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
popular family remedies of this coun'
try. and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
Using of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl j. Balliett, or
Buffalo. N. Y. 81 the convention of the
Advertising Afflliation at Detroit.
Mr. Balliett is director of the Pro-
prietary Association of America, which
includes in it's membership two hun.
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr. Balliett pointed out that It Is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as 1t Is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising. but 1t is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than 1t would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
THE operation was success but
the patient died" This so-called hu.
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people. but when

wants medicine, and will bless the

deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than TO cure II.
Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 10 1912 the amount OF pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from s100.00o.0ce TO $780,

The writings OF DR.. Harvey w. VII

noe infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong Mr..

all the power OF the Government, he

There has been spread the idea that

advertising medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, satis-
fed people. Therefore. any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number OF years. and Is stiil adver-
tised, must have merit behind It to ac-
count for its success.
In eoncusion Mr.. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to-
it's readers in the matter OF medical
or other advertising, unless it investi-
gates. not only the wording OF the adj
vertisement offered for publication.
but the merits OF the article adver-

newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy rather than to form an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which

in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver-

TAFTS KEEN PROBE
Former President Exposes Bum
eombe in Clayton Law.
Man Of Straw Set Up by the Demo-
Gratis in Their Specific LesisIa-
ton Is Demolished in
Mastery Fashion.

Former President Taft is no less
the able defender of the reign OF law
in American life than he vas when
as occupant Of the White House he
passed under judicial inquiry every
policy proposed. every movement
launched. every piece OF legislation
contemplated or sought to be passed.
With it all he is not legalist. He
never forgets that the mint and the
cummin have a place along with the
law and the judgment With him law
is not an end. but an agency. 1t il the
mightiest means TO secure public JUS
tice. He never fixes his eyes so stead
tasty upon popular reforms as to
fail to perceive the ramifications and
vicious tendencies that may inhere in
them. He is never addicted to the
ethical viewpoint so as to suffer from
astigmatism, when he comes TO take
account of the immoral implications
or outcome of acts which in them
selves may be beyond censure. 1t is
this able and balancing Judgment that
is brought to bear upon matters of
present movement before the Ameri-
can people.
In his address as president of the
American Bar association, a body out
of politics, the former president
showed a spirit of fine impartiality
and a temperament most fortunately
trained to perceive the bearings and
alignments of public measures.
Mr. Taft has pointed to the inev-
liable weakness of Legislation that is
entered upon not in the spirit of public
Justice, but in the spirit of parti-
san capitalization. The new laws are
not an enlargement of the restrictive
function of government. They are in
realty a menace to the freedom of
competition itself by reason of the
harassments to enterprise that they
provide.
In respect to the exemption of labor
organizations from the operation of
the antitrust law, tire Clayton meas
ure is a delusion and a snare. Mr..
Taft shows that it is merely so much
partisan buncombe. He takes high
ground for the rights of LABOR organ
izations and points out that the com
mon law grew up unfavorably to
them But the conclusion of the whole
matter as contained in the Clayton
law he sets forth in the statement;
Those of us who never thought that
this'-anti-abor Injunction agitation
was anything more than buncombe
seem to be indicated by the failure
of the statute to remedy the much
heralded and so-called abuse Oh the
judicial power" The man Of straw
the Democrats have set up in their
specific legislation in behalf of labor
is seen in its real mockery as abso-
lutely providing nothing in addition
to the rights that labor now has at
law.
In his masterful survey of the field
of public acts and measures Mr.. Taft
has done a fine work of patriotism
and of sanity. He has shown the
puerility and inconsequential nature
of much that the Democratic party
and its president refer to in glittering
generalities with satisfaction and pride

TARIFF HAS WORKED INJURY
Country Is Beginning to Notice the Re
suits of Democratic Estates
marship."

The Democratic tariff inflicted a bur
den upon American industry without
giving any benefit to anyone except
the foreign manufacturer. 1t did not
lower prices to the consumer, the thing
that it was advertised and guaranteed
to do Us capacity for reducing is
confined to reducing profits aud wages
and the number of the employed.
1t does not supply the necessary rev
enue for the expenses of the govern
ment. That is why a new tax is now
being forced upon the country under
the name OF G war tax" The real
reason for the new levy is that the
tariff law as fixed by the Democrats
does not promise sufficient revenue to
cover the expenses of the government,
even with the great internal revenue
receipts, and the income tax as a new
source of revenue.
If the Democratic party would keep
faith with the people, If it had regard
for its platform pledge and promise, it
would revise it's own tariff law. The
party promised tariff that would pro-
duce revenue. In its 1912 platform is
this sentence: I'VE appeal to the
American people to support US in our
demand Tor tariff for revenue only"
What the Democratic party gave to
the country was a tariff for disaster
only. 1t has borne no good fruit. 1t
has not decreased the cost of living; it
has not produced the revenue neces-
sary to support the government in
time of profound peace within our
borders. But its cost to the American
producer is s27 each second of the
working day.

pemocraey,s Dual Role.

The, special session with its record
OF tariff reform, including an income
tax measure, showed the Democrats
in the dual role Of reducing the rev.
enue receipts with one hand and
grasping at sources of new income
with another. They erred in their
estimates and were wrong in their
predictions. AS result they have
had to enact special tax Law to make
good the losses to the treasury Of
ninety millions Of dollars, with the
prospect of enacting fresh measures
of the kind ad infinitum.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1914-11-18
New Tariff a Failure.

In a word. the tariff is a deficit
producing measure and the Democrats
have neither tn, courage nor the 10y
atty nor the patriotism to confess it
so and to go about revising it. Such
revision would not need to be upon
the basis o; war conditions In Europe,
as revision was imperatively called for
prior to the outbreak of the war. The
condition has simply been aggravated
by the situation arising from that
conflict.
