POLITICAL NOTES

Friends of Frederick Pitt, republi-
can candidate for register of deeds.
are pointing to Mr.. Pitts record as
chairman of the committee of the
board Of supervisors. which had in
charge the construction of the new
county house. For this work which
occupied a great deal Of Mr.. Pitts
time he received no remuneration.
He was very faithful and spent a
great deal of his time which he really
needed for his own work, in per-
forming this labor for the county.
How successful he was is attested by
the splendid new county house which
Ionia now boasts, one Of the finest
in the country and probably the best
in the state. For this condition
Mr. Pitt is largely responsible,
and for the work which he
performed he has never received any
reward. He has likewise never
been an aspirant for public office.
having served only as supervisor from
Orleans township for a number of
years. His friends believe that 10
reward him for the splendid service
he has done for the county is his
due, and are bespea king for him en-

surface and elevated railway organ
izations paid out for their sick and
disabled, for the burial of their dead
and the relief of distressed families
last. year the sum of $119, 64017 This
is the total which will be reported in
their official paper, the Union Leader,
this week.
More money was spent by these
unions in taking care of their mem
bers and families needing relief than
the United Charities has been able to
raise in a two months campaign
among Chicago business men.
While the total contribution by all
milionaiTes and corporation mag
mates and merchants and manufac-
tUrers to the United Charities fund
for 1914 is towering below 100000,
the street railway workers raised the
past year through voluntary collec-
tons for distressed members the sum
of $26,575.17. This money was all
given free-nandeG in nickels, dimes
and quarters sometimes dollar
by conductors and mOtormen.
Each week the Union Leader runs
a column or two of cards and notices
from Bill or Jack or Dan, each card
or notice saying something like this:

Division 241 Cor $500 for the $500
collected for me while my children

Bill" Taber, secretary of Division
241, said: I'VE take care of our own

President Plans to Take Ac-

RADIO
MORE MINE
RIOTS EXPECTED
Entire Colorado Situation
Will Be Thrashed Out
by Congress

Washington, Nov. 24.-Presdent VIII
son will confer with Secretary Garrison
in the near future regarding the Colo
RADIO situation. Word reached the White
House yesterday that the Colorado au-
thorities will, within the next forty
eight hours, formally apply to the ad-
ministration to withdraw the federal
troops from that state. The state au-
thorities are now said to be willing to
assume responsibility for maintaining
order and will so tell the president.
Meanwhile emphatic protest against
taking the troops out has been made by
officers of the United Mine Workers of
America. The heads of that organiza-
ton, it was learned yesterday, told the
president when they conferred with him
last Thursday that conditions of abso-
lutte anarchy must follow turning the
situation over to the local authorities"
They alleged that in recognizing the
militia to deal with the coal fields, the
Colorado authorities had kept in service
many men responsible for much of the
past disorder
They also told the president they be-
feved the removal of the regulars would

IF YOU NEED A MEDICINE,
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE BEST

Although there are hundreds of prepa
rations advertised, there is only one that
really stands out pre-eminent as rem
edy for diseases of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
DR.. kimer's Swamp Root stands the
highest, for the reason that 50 many peo-
pie say it has proved to be just the rem
edy needed in thousands upon thousands
of even the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly
because its mild and immediate effect
is soon realized in most cases. 1t is a
gentle, healing vegetable compound.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi.
clans prescription for special diseases,
which is not recommended for every
thing.
A sworn certificate Of purity is with
every bottle.
For sale at all drug stores, in bottles
of two sizes-ffty cents and one dollar.
Sample Size Bottle of Swamp Root
In order to prove what Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy, will do for you, every reader of The
Barre Daily Times who has not already
tried it, may receive sample size bottle
by parcel post. Enclose ten cents and

be followed by fighting which would
eclipse in violence any to date.
1t is understood, however, that the
president will have to order the troops
back to their stations, lnasmuch as
they were sent there by order of the
governor of Colorado, the president will
have, officials here believe, no choice but
to withdraw them.
1t is now certain that the entire Col
orado situation will be threshed out in
Congress. One plan of settlement, sug-
gested to the president and which he is
understood to look on with favor, is to
have the Erdman mediation act, which
was widened in scope by the Newland's
amendment, changed so that the federal
board of mediation and Cancellation.
which now has jurisdiction only over
railroad problems, should be given au-
thority over disputes in all industries
doing an interstate business.
If Congress would do this, it Is be-
lieved by the president and those with
whom he has discussed Colorado,

dispute would be in sight.

Infantry Charges Mark the
Fight in Argonne
Forest

Paris, Nov. 24--The belfry OF Ypres
and the famous Halles have been set on
fire by German shells. The old Flemish
city is once more under the rain of a
furious bombardment, according to the
French official statement yesterday.
A note appended to to-day's official
statement from the war office tells OF
one of the many side tragedies and
heroic deeds OF the war.
In Belgium few days ago, the note
says, German column marched on Dri
Grachter bridge, forcing before it a group
OF French Zouaves who had been taken
prisoners. The French trenches ceased
firing after the Germans had forced the
Zouaves to cry out cease fring!"
When the Zouaves were very near the
bridge, however, one OF them yelled out
in commanding voice; open FIRE, nom
de Dieul"
Inyoluntarily the French trenches
opened volley at the command The
result was that every Zouavre was killed
and all the Germans were finished off
with mitrailleuse. The French then
took the bridge.
The name of the French hero who
gave the command to fire remains UNI
known. There was nothing from which
he could be identified in the heap of
bodies on the bridge.
