DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Winnemucca People to
Neglect

The great danger of kidney trou-
bles is that they so often get a firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health will be gradually un-
dermined, backache, headache, nery-
BUSINESS, lameness, soreness, lumba-
go. urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel,
and Bright's disease often follow in
merciiess succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Help the kidneys with
Doan's Kidney Pills, which are so
strongly recommended right here in
this locality.
Mrs. Edwin Fowler, 213 West St.
Reno, New, says: Il was thrown from
a buggy while driving and as the re-
suit, kidney trouble set in. My blad-
der got infamed and panied intense
ly. My kidneys were disordered, too.
Friends told me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, and | did so. The first few doses
helped me. Doan's Kidney Pills have

Prisoners Save Money.

An unusual plan was adopted and
tried with success in the Dayton (O.)
workhouse, which deserves the careful
consideration OF penal authorities
throughout the country, says the Nash
Vile Tennesseean.
Through a board Of parole, prison
ers are allowed certain liberties In ac-
cordance with their behavior and their
appreciation of freedom allowances.
Regular work in factories is secured
for a number of prisoners. but they
are compelled to return to the work
house at night. They are required at
the end of the week to bring their
pay envelopes to the superintendent
of the workhouse. The latter sum-
mons the prisoners family and opens
the pay envelope with them and the
prisoner present. He divides the
money as seems best. 1t is said that
under this unique system Of parole
one prisoner, who Is serving Q term
for nonsupport, has placed more than
500 in a savings bank, In addition
to taking care of his family and pay
ing his creditors. He still has two
months to serve.

THE PROGRESSIVE
CAMPAIGN

National headquarters of the Pro-
gressive party for this campaign have
been located at Indianapolis, where
Edwin NJ. Lee, chairman of the
Hoosier Bull Moose, will be in charge.
Mr.. Lee is the thrifty gentleman who
is said to have received $500 a month
salary for his services prior to the
June conventions-and it is to be sur
missed that he is not working for
nothing now.
All this may be taken to mean that
the chief purpose of the national Pro-
gressive party in this canvass is to
help re-elect two Democratic Sena-
tors from Indiana. There have been
sinister rumors from Indiana for
some time to the effect that the skel-
eton organization which a few Pro-
gressives have insisted upon main
tanning there was backed by Demo-
cratic funds and that Senator Tag
CARTS contest for election was to pro-
AZ " thAo OARtAAAAtoA1 s v
dence on this point is now conclusive,
if not legal.
We do not believe. however, that a
campaign of revenge of this sort can
be made to succeed. The Progressive
vote in Indiana two years ago for
members of Congress totaled 90.040.
The keenest observers of political
conditions estimate that from eighty
to ninety per cen of the progressives
are now acting with the Republicans
and that the number who will res
pond to the activities of leaders like
Mr.. Lee, whose career is by no means
free from the suspicion of mercenary
motives, will be even less than the
remaining ten or fifteen per cent.
The vigilant Republicans of Indiana
will know how to deal with the situ-
alton.

FRUITS OF
DEMOCRATIC 7

The New York World, discussing
Mr.. Kitchin's opposition to the naval
increase. refers to the North Caro-
Imam as the accidental leader o
the Democratic party in the House
Nothing of the kind. Mr.. Kitchin is
the Democratic leader in Congress by
the in%exorable rules of the Demo-
cratic party. He came to his place at
the head of the committee on ways
and means through seniority. Some
time back in the dim ages of politics,
Mr.. Kitchin came to Congress and he
managed to get appointed on the
ways and means committee. Their he
has continued, until, by death. defeat,
translation to the Senate and other
events, his party colleagues on the
committee have been removed and he
found himself at the top. Mr.. Kitchin's
continuance in Congress has also been
strictly in accordance with Demo
cratic methods and practices. He
halls from North Carolina-which is
one of those states where Bourbon
legislators have deiled the pages of
the statute books with enactments
which deprive the colored mar of his
right to vote, except under conditions
which are extraordinarily onerous
and humiliating; and where, when
ever a colored man succeeds in run
ming this gauntlet, a Democratic re-
turning board sees to it that his vote
is not counted as it is cast. Thus MI.
Kitchin, ii will be seen, is no acct
dent. His presence in Congress and
his prominence there are strictly in
accordance with the most rigid tenets
of Democracy. The fact that he does
not exercise his functions as the Dem
ocratic New York World would like,
does not change the face of the case.
Kitchin is not an accidental leader"
On the contrary, he is both the flower
and the fruitage of the Democratic
party.

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF
NATURALIZED AMERICANS

Wonder what kind of a slap Secre-
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
was trying to give the American SOL
der of foreign birth or descent when
he published the following invidious
comparison in a recent issue of his
paper, the Raleigh, North Carolina,
News and Observer:
The Herald knows that when
s~outherners enlist in the volun-
teer regiments one does not have
to be acquainted with German,
Russian, Slav and southern Euro
pean languages in order to know
how to spell and pronounce their
Names"
Why this exultation over the fact
that there are few people of foreign
inbirth or ancestry in the South? In
the North and West we have found
them intelligent, enterprising. honest
and patriotic. We have no more trou-
BILE spelling and ~pronouncing their
names than they have in spelling and
~pronouncing ours. They pay their
bills as well. on the average, as native
horn Americans. They send their chill
dren to school regularly. observe the

eminent Report is the glazing head
line over an article from Washington,
telling of a government report on

if the administration would get out
an accurate report on the national

Since the war began foreign nations
have contracted debts in this country
to the amount of $500, 600, 000. In
addition, American investors have
brought back American securities for
merly held abroad to the amount OF
about $4,000, 600, 1000. That makes a
change of $500, O0O, 900 in our status
as a nation in the world Of finance.
Figuring on a basis of 5 per cent,
this means a change of annual income
to the amount of $175,0 00, 600. The
war shut off American tourist expen-
ditures in Europe to the amount of
$500 900 per year. 1t changed an
adverse monthly trade balance into
a favorable trade balance of $4,000
000, 900 for the last fiscal year. Yet
the Democratic press cannot see that
the war is the cause of our present
prosperity.

What do you think of this? Pearl
buttons are manufactured in Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and a
few other states, from shells taken
from the river beds. The industry be-
gan after the Republicans imposed an
import duty which gave the American
producer a small margin of advan-
tage over the foreigner. The Demo-
cratic Congress reduced the duties
and German button makers began
shipping American shells across the
ocean, making them into buttons and
sending them back here to be sold in
competition with the American pro-
duct. And yet the Democrats pretend
to be for America First"l

 Information regarding the friend ship of Crones and Antione came to the New York officers, according to Captain Hunt, chief of the Chicago detective headquarters, when they had arrested man named Camille , charged with carrying concealed weapons. Under questioning by the New York officers. Camille. it is said, admitted knowing Crones and told of Tonione's alleged intimacy.
 Captain Hunt released Antonio Coda TOniOne, late in the day after he had questioned the Italian for some time. The captain said he had learned noth- ing which would warrant him in hold ing the man.
 Anarchists of the city issued a statement today in connection with the poison of the soup at the Univer- sity Club. It bore the seal of the international propaganda group of Chicago and was signed by A. Barron as chairman. Copies of the state ment were sent to the press.
 The substance of the statement is contained in the final clauses of res olutions adopted. it was stated at a meeting held today, reading:
 Whereas, it is to the interest of the officials of the University Club to distract attention from the unsanitary condition in their kitchen and to that of the police department to dis tract attention from it's connection with the burglar trust treferofe, be it.

Farmer of Kern county, were submitted late today al ter the district attorney had testified in his own behalf and brief oral argu- ments had been presented by both sides No intimatiOn was given by the court as to when a decision might be expressed
 Attorney McCowan denied in em- phatic terms that he had ever sought or received any money from F.. w. Me Cutchen or his four brothers in con- nection with the disposal of either the criminal or civil actions against Me
 Cutchen. In answer to a question by Assistant Justice V. F.. Shaw, Attorney
 McCowan declared that he was prompt
 ed in all of his actions in connection
 with the McCutchen cases by desire
 to serve the ends of justice.
 'I told J. B. McCutchen, who volun- teered to contribute Sl00 toward reim-
 bursing me for heavy campaign eX- pendtures," Attorney McCowan said that no McCutchen would give me anything I was moved by a desire to save four lives, those of Fife Thomp- son. whom McCutChen had wronged; her baby; McCutchen himself, and his

 and circumstances and were l thus confronted again l would again do as did"
 The district attorneys attitude to-
 ward certain members of the Kern county grand jury, characterized in the charges as attempts to intimidate 1 them into reporting favorably on his , handling of the McCutchen cases, was
 declared by him to concern matters following their adoption of a report
 construed by the defense as eXoner- ating him.
 | Attorney McCowan disposed of the alleged denunciatory remarks about Judge Farmer by testifying that what | he said to A. A. De Ligne, d San Fran
 cisco attorney, was not meant as a 1 general criticism in public sense but
 came about as the aftermath of a heated argument he had with the at tOrney the night before.
