CURRENT THINKING
THE VISTULA RIVER.

The Vistula river, along which the
great struggle in the eastern theatre
of war is raging. is thus described in
a bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic Society:
THE Vistula river one OF the might
lest streams flowing toward the north,
sweeps in an irregular course through
three empires. Austria, Russia and
Germany. 1t serves as a frontier line
between Austria and Germany, be-
tween Austria and Russia, and for a
shorter distance between Russia and
Germany. Upon its banks lie the cit
les OF Cracow, warsaw. Modlin, Plock.
Thorn. Kuhn. Graudenz, Marienburg
and the Baltic port OF Danzig.
The Vistula rises in Austrian Sile-
sia and takes a circuitous route Of
$50 miles to the sea. Its source is on
the northern slopes Of the West Besk-
lden, a spur range OF the Carpathians.
The upper reaches Of the river run
through a narrow. wooded valley, mar
rowing in places to a picturesque
gorge with tree-hung sides. and
throughout its highland way is sur
rounded by as wild scenery as can be
found within the United States.
Just before reaching Cracow the
Vlstula leaves the mountains. and
from this Galicia city seaward II is
navigable for smaller boats. It's di-
rection from Cracow is away from Its
mouth, and it penetrates deep into
the plains Of Russian Poland before
II turns, not far from Warsaw, back
TO German lands. It's banks through
the high Polish plateau in the south
and in the neighborhood OF Warsaw
are high bluffs, often sharp and faced
with loosely held earth erosions, and
altogether difficult Of passage be-
tween bank and bank. From Warsaw
on it is navigable for larger river
craft.
The plain through which the river
passes from Warsaw to the Prussian
boundary smooths away into swell
ing lowlands the river course becomes
tricky and wandering, while the sandy
banks are forever sliding into the wa
ter. The Vistula enters Prussia ten

is the same thing as
saying a child should not try to stand
until he has learned TO walk. But let
that go and look at the matter from
another angle.
II Philippine islanders knew Of some
conditions in the United States they
could justly raise the question as to
whether the Americans are capable Of
governing themselves. A few weeks
ago an investigation was made into the
condition Of working giris in some big
eastern cities. The search brought to
light a condition of barbarity about as
heartless as could be imagined.
"A girl Of 22 was sick last winter,
said Miss Packard. "and absent from
work for a week, She is a clerk get
ting Sc a week as saleslady in the
white goods department OF a large
upstate store. You see, I've figured
it all out she said. I pay 50 for my
room-that bill has TO be met every
week. Then once a month 25 cents
is taken out OF my tiny envelope for
the store benefit fund. That also is
regular and can't be cut down. I've
got to dress decent to keep my job. If
1 didn't spend s1.25 week on clothes
they'd fire me sure. So you see your
self the only thing that is left me to
economize on is food Fifteen or 20
cents is the highest amount she ever
pays for lunch and dinner You
know, sometimes l just long for a 80
cent dinner, she said. But haven't
the price OF it in my pocket book, so
what can I do? get so tired Of these
20 cent dinners year in and year out
that often 1 think I'd rather not eat
at ALL"
The investigator said that "statis-
tics tell US that thousands Of working
girls are receiving only IS, Sc and 81

imposing, mean little to the average
person, unless it brings Immediately
to his mind a picture Of just what this

it will mean to thousands a cramped
subnormal way OF life-a mere exist.
ence. not a real living"
Now remember these things do not
exist in a land that is ignorant or
poverty stricken. What is worse they
are found in a nation where demo-
cracy prevails, where invention has
made the greatest advancement, where
nature is bountiful and starvation
should be unknown. There is some
thing wrong about our handling OF
affairs when respectable women and
girls who are intelligent and willing to
work are forced to exist under con-
ditlons enumerated above. Tolefat-
ing such torture in our own land and
with abounding evidence that we fall
far short Of making proper use Of our
governmental privileges II is doubtful
IL we have any call to cast apersions
on the political abilities Of the Fill

GANDRUD HEADS SENATE TEN
PERANCE COMMITTEE.

Senator P. A. Gandrud was given
an important committee chairman
ship, that of the Temperance Commit
tee. Those serving with him on this
committee are Senators Vibert, Pauly,
Vermilya, Blomgren, Ward, Van How
en-. Lobeck and Hilbert. Of these
Lieut.. Gov. Burnquist believed six to
be in favor of county option and three
opposed. Senator Lobeck was agree
ably surprised at the attitude of some
OF the members on his statewide pro-
hibition BILL No doubt it will be re-
ported out in due time. He believes
it should be reported out first. Then
in case it fails, county option will be
in order as compromise measure.
There is no doubt that the prohibi-
ton issue stands as menace to the
liquor interests of Minnesota. That
they would prefer county option as
the lesser of two dangers is also true,
for it would allow them to retain their
grip on the larger cities. OF course
they want neither if they can help it,
but it looks as if they cannot success
fully hold their grip much longer.
Senator Lobeck's idea is that as long
as prohibition is the ultimate aim of
the county optionists why not shoot at
the bulls eye of the target instead of
aiming at the rim.
Kandiyohi County is honored by
Senator Gandrud's appointment to
this position, and we believe he will
acquit himself in this place with cred
it to the county. With his directing
energy and tact and a good working
committee behind him, there is no
question bat the gentlemen of the SEN
ate will all be placed squarely on rec
ord before the term is finished.

1t is evident that the result of the

of the fair positions. The delegates
felt that the fair should not be thrown
into politics, either partisan or non
partisan, but remain under direct
control of the agricultural and affili
ated organizations. A resolution en-
dorsing the proposed change was de-
feated in spite of the fact that the
chairman of the Efficiency Commits
sion was the choice of the Agricul

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Have you ever stopped to reason
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the ar
ticle did not fulfil the promises OF
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medic
inal preparation that has real cura
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
a preparation l have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend for in almost every case it shows
excellent results, as many of my Gus
toners testify. No other kidney rem
edy that I know of has so large q
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's' Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fulf1ls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liv.
er and bladder disease, corrects urin.
cry troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
