MIR. REYNOLDS PREDICTION.

From the interview given out in
Chicago by James B. Reynolds, Sec
rotary of the republican national
committee, we gather several inter-
esting statements of what Mr.. Rey-
nolds holds to be facts. He says that
President Wilson is going down and
that the republican party lis con-
fronted with the certainty of return
ing to national power in 1916" No.
body can say, according to Mr.. Rey-
nolds, who the republican candidate
will be, and he AYERS that "the ma
tional issues of 1916 are not clearly
defined"
We are asked to believe, then, that
the voters of this country have made
up their minds to vote for the repub-
lican candidate whoever he may be
backed by Senator LaFOllette and
his kind of republicans, by Senator
Penrose and the reactionary politi-
cal corruptionists, or by George w.
Perkins and the boiling republicans
of 1912. Whether the candidate be
Taft, Root, Cummins, Borah or some
unknown favOrite son like Willis of
Ohio, or William Alden Smith of
Michigan it is all one in Mr.. Rey-
nolds' opinion. The voters are al
ready for him; and what is more,
they are for him on any platform
that the next convention may devise,
although what that platform will be
is still in the dark.
Now nothing can justify any such
opinion except clear evidence that
the Wilson administration had be-
come an object of profound popular
disapproval so deep as to amount to
revulsion. No evidence of any such
state of feeling is specified by Mr..
Reynolds except on one point, ''The
progressivcs are against Wilson," he
says. THAT is seen in the recent ut
terances of Theodore Roosevelt"
The Plattsburg speech is typical of
Col. Roosevelts recent utterances
and nobody who has kept track of
the discussion of that outburst can
doubt that President Wilson's posi-
ton has strengthened by it. Roose-
velts reckless shouting for war has
brought the mind of the country
squarely up to the consideration OF
what might have happened if he or
some man of his type had been presi-
dent during the last year, and
throughout the country there is
Thanksgiving that cool, clear head
ed man succeeded the fire-eating
Teddy.
The democracy can ask no better
political fortune than that the Colo
mol shall continue to shout, and that
the secretary of the republican ma
tional committee shall continue to
base absurd predictions upon the
colonel's mouthings.-St. Louis Re-
public.

SHIPPING AND "PROTECTION."

In one year ending June 80 Ameri-
can shipping in the foreign trade in
creased to 1,S13,775 tons. On June
80, 1914, it had been 1,O76, 1852 tons.
Within the twelve months the total
passed the merchant fleets in foreign
trade of Holland, Sweden, Russia,
Italy and Japan. 1t had been tenth
in Importance at the beginning of the
war; with tho German ships laid up,
it now occupies the fourth place tenn
porarily, just behind Norway and
France.
A tonnage greater than the coun-
try has known since 1868, a yearly
growth three times as great as at any
previous period in our history and a
place among the leaders in world
shipping, instead of being not much
ahead of Greece and Spain-this has
been accomplished in one year by
stripping ship builders of little of
the "proteotion" that SO long sue
ceeded in hamstringing American
commerce. This the war emergency
Registry Law, under pressure of
American trade demanding facilities.
With our laws standing as they do
we cannot hold fourth place. Ger

war. We cannot hold fifth place.
japan will take that because our new
Seaman's Act will soon make it i'm
possible for American shipping on
the Pacific to meet the competition
of Asiatic crews. But what has been
done in so short time shows what
American shipping might become II
it were disencumbered entirely OF
protective legislation.-Ne York

Life Was a Tragedy,
Said Iowa Woman

Mrs. William Litzenberg of Monte
yuma, Iowa, suffered from stomach
troubles for long period. She grew
weak as result of the failure of her
digestive processes. She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy and showed her the way back to
health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. Litzenberg on her feet. She
wrote:
II have taken four bottles of your
Wonderful Remedy. can't be thank
full enough for it. must say that it
is the best medicine that ever tried.
II was so weak that did not think
life was worth living-had no appe-
tite-everything ate worked against
me, but now I can eat anything at
all that looks good. I feel so strong
have been able to do a good days
work ever since I took the first bot
tie.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent rehef for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
andswhatever you like. No more dis
stress after eating, pressure of gas
in the stomach and around the
heart. Get one bottle of your drug
gist now and try it on an absolute
guarantee-if not satisfactory mon
ey will be returned. 4

STILL TREMBLING ABOUT 1.-THE
TARIFF"

If YOU want to be convinced that
there will be another effort by the re-
publican party to re-establish high
protective tariff, all that you need to
do is to make trip to the east.
While commodity prices in the
United States az reflected in Brad
streets index number, are constantly
rising and the workers of Europe are
being killed by the hundred thous-
and. the protectionists are still filled
with fear of being ruined by the
pauper labor Of Europe" and they
have great influence with the labor
vote in that section. That European
labor is being killed and crippled to
an extent that appalls the world has
no influence upon them. They seem
to think that the dead and crippled
workers are force against which
the labor of America cannot compete
1t is useless to try to reason with
these men. If all Europe should be
destroyed and not live man left
there, they would continue to declare
that this country would be ruined I'M
less protected by a high tariff, and
would 60, about pale and trembling
for fear of competition. AS it is, all
Europe, as it were, has both arms in
a sling and only crippled leg to
stand upon, and yet their fears in
crease. ..-. ..- ...-
With all Difference to our socialist
friends, it must be stated that it
takes something else to produce
goods besides labor That thing is
capital. When the war Is over,
Europe will not only have far less
laborers, but most Of its capital will
have disappeared. If the United
States, with its undiminishing num-
Der of laborers and almost unlimited
capital, cannot compete with Grip
pied and impoverished Europe on
easy terms, it has no right to exist,
yet standpatter looks upon state
ment OF that as verging on treason.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

Take Tablespoonful Of Salts II Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps Of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys. to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Adv.
