A PROPHET WITHOUT HONOR

Elk Senator George Turner, Of Sc
attic, Washington, scattered few
phony pearls of wisdom recently,
while on a visit to the National Cap
ital. He prophesied billion-bushel
wheat crop and two dollars a bushel
for wheat this year if the war in
Europe continues. IF the war con-
tinues," said Mr.. Turner, 81 believe
the country will demand the re-elec-
ton of the President; if it should end
this fall, the prosperity that is at hand
will insure Democratic victory next
year beyond a doubt" Apparently
there is absolutely no escape. Having
honestly ascribed the present and
future prosperity-in-spots to the war
and the bumper wheat crop, he back
tracks, and adds: "There is not much
doing in the lumber line, due to the
war" The ex-senator plays both ends
against the middle. Up to date every

aching back is bad no more, thanks to

thousands Of people are telling the
good news Of their experience with

ample worth reading:
James Kennedy, Manchester Center,
says; For years my back and kidneys
bothered me and the trouble became
so bad at times that | could hardly
stoop or straighten. Mornings when
! first got up, my back was lame and
stiff and pains extended from my kid
neys into my loins and hips. The
kidney secretions were unnatural and

gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Pettibone's Pharmacy. They
helped me at once and it was not long
before they had fixed me up in good
shape. Ny back was strengthened,
the pains were removed and my health
was restored"

Why Not Try il in Manchester?

A Randolph teacher is giving in
struction in swimming to class of 30
in brook near Randolph. Such a
course Of instruction is somewhat of a
novelty in most Vermont communi-
ties but is offers splendid possibilities
for teacher and pupils, 1t would be a
good idea if there were courses Of
instruction in swimming in every com
munity, for the ability to swim may
be imperative in every persons life

fetal to young and old. The Ran

The Chicago Herald, neither ap.
plauding nor condemning the pro-
cedure, "just predicts" that the incom'
ing Congress will find it necessary
either TO eurtail expenditures severe
" or to seek other sources of rev.
enue.' The one best bet is on the lat
ter course. A Democratic Congress
never "curtails expenditures severely
or any other way 1t spends money
like a drunken sailor, regardless Of the
condition Of the treasury, and its fay-
ori'c pastime is to issue bonds or to
devise new taxes which will be paid,
almost in full, by Northern Republican
States.

1T CAN'T BE DONE

The vast change that has of late
come over the Democratic policies, the
busting activity in behalf of national
defence, the renewed rumors of some
thing to be done in Mexico, the intim-
atoms that Congress will be summon
cd in extra session, and the vague
whisperings of tariff revision upward
as means TO help PROSTATE treas
ury-all these things indicate no fun
damental changes of heart on the part
of the Administration or of the Demo-
cratic party. In their inmost souls the
Democratic leaders would even now
far rather spend ten millions on creek
Improvement" in the South than on
battleship. They care no more for
outraged American women and muir
dered American men and pillaged
American property in Mexico than
they ever did. And as for a high
tariff, it is to them as abhorrent
thought now as ever.
Democratic solicitude is reserved
for the Democratic party exclusively.
1t is not the nation, but the Demo
cratic party that seems to them imper-
illed. To save their places, to con-
tinue the Administration with all its
patronage, means everything to them
and they hope, by show Of activ-
ity, by formal change Of policy, with
no real intent in it, to convince the
country that the Democratic party is
worthy Of continuance in power.
Their shift Of policy comes late, re-
luctant and unimportant. The country
has already passed its judgment. No
Democratic Administration, CARRIED in
the stolen clothes Of Republicanism,
can deceive anybody now. They
do it even If they were sin
cere.

IMMIGRATION ISSUE TO Be REVIVED;
REASONABLE RESTRICTION ADVOCATED

Washington, Feb. 24.-Congress vii:
soon resume the consideration OF
measures to strengthen the immigra-
ton laws of the United States. The
failure by four votes of the attempt
in the house to carry the Burnett bill
over tie vote OF President Wilson
seems to have encouraged, rather than
discouraged, advocates of more strin-
gent provisions to bar out undesirable
immigrants. The, sentiment in the
senate is so overwhelmingly in favor
of Reasonable restriction, and the ma
j0rity in the house so considerable tina,
no difficulty is anticipated SO far as
the elected legislators are concerned.
1t is realized, however, that the op-
poents OF restriction \Or regulation l..
any practicable form are so active and
so we'll organized that popular sentl-
ment has been confused; and disturbed
in the consideration of aSmatter which
calls peculiarly for a trained capacity
to appreciate the great mass of often
b%ewildering; statistical and scientific
data.
Against Alien Insane.
Friends of reasonable restriction
are therefore planning to put the facts
before the public. Some of these Mr..
Burnett, Mr.. Gardner and others say,
will astonish the great bulk OF the vot.
ers when they are thoroughly rsaliz'
ed. Even so stanch and successful an
opponent of the literacy test as Presi.
dent Wilson confessed himself very
strongly impressed Shy several Of the
arguments made during the white
house conference iii favor of import

clauses was drawn to, put up the bars

Some Startling Facts.

highest authorities on insanity prc'o,

that there are in these public inst.-
