ECHOES FROM RENO
Reno Happenings Always Interest Our
Readers

After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question nat
urally arises: els this medicine equal

this Reno resident leaves no room for
doubt on this point.

Reno, New, says: 81 think that heavy
lifting caused kidney trouble. When

PLAYING BOTH ENDS

1t is observable that President viii
son loses no opportunity to seek the
support of two classes of voters in this
country, while addressing himself TO
the populace on the subject of prepar-
edness. First, those who favor him
due to the mistaken belief that he has

the people of this country had wanted

Mchlnley strove with all his strength
TO Keep us out of the Spanish war, but
the people were spelling for a igbt
Mr.. Wilson implored the support Of
the people in the present upheaval
abroad. He has had it, and he now
tries to make political capital of a
situation which came ~perilously near
being ruined by Democratic blunder
ing, such as the ~ship-purchase bin, for
instance, defeated by Republican fiji
clustering.
Second, those who favor a large ar.

edges a change of mind over night on
this question. He hopes for votes from
those who advocate preparedness. Thu
conditions in December, 1914, wher
Ir. Wilson delivered his ''peaee. i,
still,' message 10 Congress, called fol
preparedness and a firm stand agains-
aggression just as much as they do to
day-perhaps more. Possibly if Mr.
Wilson had at that time stood 'tfoul
square with the world'' the Lusitani,
disaster would not have occurred. Blu
he gave way TO temporizing and salve

approach of the campaign his trainers

UNNECESSARY DELAY
IN COMPLETING WAR CRAFT

An appalling oversight of the Dem
ocratic administration in providing
for national defense has been laid
bare.
Representative Patrick III. Kelley of
Michigan, a member Of the Naval At
fairs committee, has disclosed to the
House that of the nine d~readnaughts,
seventeen destroyers, thirty-nine sub
marines and two transport and supply
ships authorized by Congress or under
construction since the Democrats have
been in control of the House, NOT
ONE is COMPLETED.
More important still, no apparent
effort has been made by the President
or the Navy Department since the be-
ginning of the war in Europe to hasten
the construction and completion of
these additions to the navy.
Why this neglect on the part of the
administration to carry out the man
date of Congress to equip the navy for
adequate national defense at this
time7
In a resolution setting forth this con
dition Mr.. Kelley referred to the Pres
ident's recent statement that 'fthe
world is on fire and we are daily tread
ing amidst dangers not of our own
making and not under our control; no
man can tell what a day may bring
forth"
His resolution proposed that the Sec
rotary of the Navy be directed to ne
gotiate at nee with contractors and
government ship yards to learn the
earliest time within which these war
craft can be completed, and report to
the House.
"The President has said in his re-
cent speeches that the country faces
a crisis, " said Mr. Kelley, "and none
could tell what a day might bring
forth. If this language means anything
it means that our need of defense is a
present need. ~Dreadnaughts and bat
tie cruisers authorized by this Con-
gress will not be available for the de.
tense of the country for four years to
come.
Offence it seems to me that the first
duty of Congress is to see that the
sixty-seven ships now under eonstruc-
ton or authorized for the American
navy are completed and made availa-
BILE at the earliest possible moment.
Preparations which do not materialize
for i've years would not avail us INV
thing if our danger is a present one.
II cannot understand how the Pres.
ident, knowing the danger as he only
can know it, has made no suggestion
to Congress that the ships now under
construction ought to be rushed to com
pletion.
Either we are not in danger, or the
President has been negligent in this
regard"
