Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times q night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-sucha as DR.. Pierce, Of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
.Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send . sample Of urine for test.

COAST TO COAST FREIGHT RATES

The interstate commerce commission has Just pro
mulgated another of its series of orders, dealing with
freight rates between Atlantic and Pacific terminals, and
On a basis that is certain to engender much OF dispute,
some confusion and no especial satisfaction beyond what
may be derived from the thought that it is another step
towards the ultimate order that will put freight rates final
" on a stable and equitable basis. The order is to the
railroads to raise their coast-tO-coast rates so that they
will be on a parity with rates to intermediate points. 1t
is made because ocean competition does not for the mo
ment exist, and because a lowering of intermediate rates
had already been denied. Objection on part of the ship
ners will lie because the order does not bring any relief to
intermediate points, other than that Pacific coast jobbers
will now be deprived of something of an advantage they
have hitherto enjoyed. For the railroads it was objected
before the commission that the ocean freight situation is
temporary in its character, and should not be made the
basis for an enduring order. In both of these objections
is found merit, and both must be given further c%onsidera-
ton before the question may be set aside as disposed of.
1t has the single recommending quality noted, that it indi-
Gates a purpose on part of the interstate commerce com
mission to deal with the whole transcontinental rate ques-
4:N~ on a basis of Justice to railroads and shippers alike.

THREE CHURCHES UNITE IN CANADA

The Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational
churches of Canada will hereafter pool their issues.
That is to say they are going to be united. Instead of
maintaining a church of each denomination in each COM
munity they will have one central church and be in a posi-
ton to pay the preacher a respectable salary. In matters
of doctrine these three churches are not far apart at the
present time. In fact the lines of demarcation between all
the churches are largely fictitious nowadays. They are
all doing about the same things in the name of the same
Lord and Master whose gospel they proclaim. There has
never been a sufficient reason why there should be a sep
arate church around each separate idea, or Interpretation
of some passage of scripture. The burden of supporting
so many churches is too great, SO great that people are
getting weary of bearing it, and they are dropping out in
large numbers.
But there is the other consideration, and that is that
some men and women cannot rally around a wide or gen
eral proposition. They want something very definite in
which they believe not only implicitly, but intent1y. That
has been one of the strongholds of many churches, the
intense devotion of the few who believe so strongly on
certain points. When Christianity is more generalized, or
~0rt of universalized, these same people may lose some
Of their interest. To them it NAV no longer be "mv
church."

NONSENSE

Talk of mediation of the Mexican embodiment by tne
South and Central American diplomats IS not So
To insnire anv particuIar enthusiasm in the United States
unless it is the sort of mediation which proposes TO take
over affairs in Mexico and re-establish order tnere
bv the rule of the iron hand. 1t Mexico mao d stdOlI -
eminent. OF even = de facto government of real ability,
mediation from any responsible source would be glaoy
welcomed by the United States. But the present SITUATION
is simply impossible. Thanks to the active ana o i We
United States Carranza is in nominal control in Mexico,
vet since he assumed that control affairs along our Dorder
have become infinitely worse than they were before.
Mexico today is anarchy ridden, and 1T is not only tne
duty of the United States to establish order there, but 1t
is a stern necessity. We are obliged to do 1t or to rehn-
ouish forever the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine.
To allow a lot of h~alf-baked diplomats from the chaot1c
nations of Central and South America to NEEDLE IN affairs
at this stage of the game would be a stupendous blunder
on the part of Washington. Our national honor and our
national interests demand that Mexico be given a real
government and that Our own people be protected from
the blood-drunk banditry of that savage land.

which necessity demands that somebody say and say
promptly and say "out loud" We did not create this ne
deplore it.
Mr.. Platt has proposed that instead of following the
law governing the primaries and conventions through the
election of delegates under the Australian ballot system,
for which his opponents were not responsible, that in the
contest for senatorial nomination "a separate ballot be
handed to the voter containing the names of those whose
candidates. shall have been announced" the candidate re-
ceiving the highest vote to be declared the nominee.
Regardless of the wishes of either Mr.. Plat or Mr..
Howe or Judge Norcross, or other opposing candidates
for this office, the Tribune is not willing to concede that
this is the only contest in which republicans and demo
Gratis are likely to be interested. There were in the last
campaign more than 200 contests involving more than 500
candidates., no one of whom could be denied the privilege
Mr.. Platt requests.
And Mr.. Platt, with the only republican newspaper
of general state circulation, and with his business partner
at the head of the state organization of his party, would
ask the other candidates to share equally with him the
cost and responsibility of carrying into effect his special
rule. Already one district attorney has served notice
upon Mr.. Plat and the other candidates that in the county
of his jurisdiction he will see that the election officers
follow the law as it stands and that law does not recog-
nize the rule proposed by Mr.. Plat.
The newspaper of which Mr.. Platt and the state
chairman are the principal owners gives as its reason for
chine domination is likely to be made. We will admit
