Gave His Friends the
Double Cross.

Commenting on the retirement
of the Democratic state chairman
in New York, the Evening Post
remarks upon the failure of Pres
ident Wilson to give Chairman
Osborne any adequate support
"Once in the presidency" says
the Post, "Mr. Wilson'S interest
in the rehabilitation of the party
in New York waned very rapid
ly." This is by no means sur
plising to those who understand
the Wilson habit of mind. Once
in office, it is the Presidents gen
eraI custom to disregard much,
if not all, that has characterized
his campaign declarations. The
manner in which he mas kicked
holes in the Baltimore platform
is sufficient evidence on this point.
But as another election approach.
es Mr.. Wilson is showing more
interest in the party in New
York. From indifference he is
becoming very different. But the
damage has already been done,
and probably beyond repair. He
cannot again appeal to the inde'
pendent Democrats of New YORK
as he did in 1912; and most as
suredly he cannot successfully
court the favor of Tammany
When he failed to support Chair
man Osborne, he made it certain
that the Democrats of New Yorl

OHIO'S CAMP AIGN
AGAINST SALOONS
Most Thorough Preparation Ever
Attempted By Any State
GETTING READY FOR BATTLE

Work Has Already Begun and II In.
cIudes a Survey Of the Liquor Traf.
fIc, Complete Organization Of the
Temperance Forces and an Educa-
tionaI Campaign Which Is Expected
to Reach to the Remotest Corner Of
the State.
Columbus, O.-(Sepcial) What is
declared by temperance leaders of the
country to be the most stupendous
campaign ever planned against tho
liquor traffic in any state is being
carefully mapped ont in detail by the
Ohio Anti-Saioon league. Part of the
work is Eow under way.
Holding as Incidental the date CT
the next election on statewide pro-
hibition, the campaign now on has
fer its object as complete prepared
ness as possible for tae next battle,
whenever it may occur.
The approval given to the general
plan by the trustees of the state
league and the chairmen of the coun-
ty dry organizations was equivalent
to pressing the button which set IN
lrotion the machinery. The rapidity
of the revolutions Of the wheels oG
this machinery depends largely on the
activity Of the temperance forces of
the state. SO Far as the Anti-Saloon
league and Kindred organizations are
concerned this is expected to be the
busiest year in Ohio temperance his
tory.
1ave served to clear the atmosphere
and have permitted a survey of the
lineup of the contending forces. The
trys now know the odds they are fac
ing and do not propose to go into the
battle unprepared. When the next
contest begins every temperance man
and woman is expected to be equipped
end ready.
The educational work will! begin II
cHce. More voters are to be informed
concerning the work Of the saloon and
the drink traffic. The Anti-Saloon
league believes that with the facts
pressed home, the careless and indif-
ferent will become active workers for
{ dry state.
Throughout the program for pub
licity, organization, general survey
and all other phases of preparedness,
special attention will be given to sys-
Iamatic action in all parts Of the state.
The plan of organization contemplates
reaching from the block, school dis
trict and precinct up through the
county to the state organization.
In order to get a good working
basis, a general survey of the liquor
traffic is being made. This survey
will include everything about the
operation of the saloon that will help
the dry cause. The survey is also ex-
pected to show in practical way the
relation of alcohol to crime and pau
lerism, how alcohol effects the en-
ployer and employe, and the family,
AS well as the relation of drink to dis
ease and it's effects on business.
The Anti-Saloon league is going on
TIE belief that if the voters have the
facts before them, they will be guided
ty these facts when they go to the
polls, and it is facts that the investi
gators intend to secure
While the work is not of the kind
that is accomplished by noise and red
fire, it is believed to be necessary as
foundation for an effective campaign
to make Ohio dry.

Avoid Spring Colds.

Sudden changes, high winds,
shifting seasons cause colds and
grippe, and these spring colds are
annoying and dangerous and are
likely to turn into a chronic sum-
mer cough. In such cases take
a treatment of DIR. Kings New
Discovery, a pleasant Laxative
Tar Syrup. 1t soothes the cough,
checks the cold and helps break
up an attack of grippe. It's al

L. Highland of West Virginia.
He was most optimistic as to the
Republican situation in his state.
He said that there is already
great interest manifested in the
primaries to choose delegates to
the coming National Republican
convention. They will be held
on May 4. Speaking of the po-
litical outlook in West Virginia
he said: There is no question as
to the way our state will go in
the general election. We shall
carry West Virginia for the ma
tional and state tickets and elect
an almost entire Republican del
egation to the next Congress. "

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, May 8. Especial
Correspondence.) Farmers all
over this country are cCnsidera-
bly, stirred up over rural credits
legislation, " said asouthernmem'
ber of Congress. 'The idea has
come to be quite prevalent that
the administration has cold feet
on the rural credits proposition
and that the proposed bill. which
has the backing of the President,
is merely a makeshift and not
what the farmers of the country
want. My mail is filled with
protests from farmers, and other
members tell me the same thing.
l; is being frequently whispered
about, that the administration,
which two years ago was in fav-
or of rural credits, has grown
lukewarm on the subject. The
farmers throughout the country
are not to be fooled ard they are
giving the men who are back of
this rural credits proposition some
anxious moments. 1t is stated
about the capitol that the plan
was to pass rural credits bill
just previous to adjournment at
this session, which falls far short
Of the demands Of the farmers Of
the country. Think tits a mighty
good thing the farmers are 'smo-
kim the President out on this
proposition.

session of the 64th has accomp-
lished about as little as any in
the history Of the government, :"
said a middle west Democratic
member. Here we have been
in session nearly five months and
practically nothing has been done,
None of the great questions con-
fronting us have been solved or
met and there is no telling when
they will be. Here our revenues
are falling behind appallingly and
yet nothing is being done to re-
pIenish them. The Democratic
party cannot continue this do
nothing policy and expect to get
away with it. Our party leaders
seem all at sea and are not pull
ing together in unison or har-
mony. This Congress must wake
up pretty soon and do something
or a good many of us will not be

Aroostook Potatoes.

Potatoes have come into Fort Fairfield
the last two or three days at the rate of
about ten cars day, practically all Irish
Cobblers. The potatoes are of very nice
quality. The yield reported is from 10 to
100 barrels to the acre. Some very light
yields are reported, also some good ones.
The highest price paid on Tuesday was
S2.14, while the highest this Wednesday
is So. IS. We have heard of prices lot
worse at this time of year. There APP
pears never to have been such demand
for potatoes before at this time of year.
The demands come from western New
York, Ohio, and from as far west as
Chicago, 1t seems as if $500 or more
right from the field is pretty good
price, and also that farmers would do
mighty well to roll a lot of them to mar
ket while they have opportunity, A
shortage of cars for shipping is unfor-
tunateIy reported from many OF the small
sldings, although at the competing points,
like Fort Fairfield, Caribou and Presque

NEURALGIC PAINS

Shooting pains in the head with giddi.
ness, noise in the ears and tender.
ness of the scalp-pains in the neck and
shoulders or extending down the arms
to the hands, these are the most com.
mon symptoms of neuralgia.
There are number of causes Of nell
ralgia. 1t is most common in families
whose members have nervous dispose
tions and it is very often a result Of
anemia or lack Of blood.
Hot applications give temporary re.
lief in neuralgia and should be used.
They cannot cure the trouble because
the pain is the complaint that the un-
der nourished nerve is making and it
will not be quieted until the nerve is
fed. The only way to reach the'nerves
with nourishment is through the blood.
That is why thin blood so frequently
leads to neuralgia. When the blood
becomes thin the nerves lack nourish-
ment. Build up the blood, supply to
it the elements that the nerves need
and you begin to correct the neuralgia.
The free booklet "Diseases of the
Nervous System" will interest you.
