strikes could be put to this God-given
animal to settle, there would certain
ly be no more strikes as long as the
world stands.
But believe me, Mr.. Editor, when
l tell you that If some men had been
in my shoes when ! succeeded in get

lingly emptied the magazine of a
Winchester rifle or the chamber Of a
six-shootor into the rear end of that
auto as it went buzzing up the street.
Who can say that such an act would
be anything else but self-defense
pure and simple?
This driver knew very well that l
could not get his number or get to a
telephone on account of being tan
gled in the wreck, and so he will
glide up the street as swiftly as pos
sible like a bloody cur, leaving me
there all alone to be dragged to death
or get out of the awful mixup as best
can. But even a dog will some
times stop and come to the rescue of
one of his own kind if he should hear
the cry of distress, but this inhuman,
cold-blooded specimen of humanity
would not.
1t seems almost a miracle that I
escaped with my life. But here I
am, alive and still able to move
about, and am very thankful that l
have nothing more serious to report
than badly bruised back and shoul
der, a soiled suit of clothes and a
badly damaged buggy and harness.
But where are the parties who struck
me down? viii they laugh and
when they read this, or will
they come through like true, loyal
American citizens and make all
wrongs right with me?

Wrecked, But BY Whom?

Editor Tidings: If you will kindly
give me little space in your valu-
able paper I'd like to give a faint
idea of some things we farmers and
taxpayers are up against. For some
time / have noticed the gross care
lessness of auto drivers, especially
on the Pacific Highway and North
Main street. At one time driver
tipped my buggy hub when ! was far
over on my side of the highway Sat
urday evening l put my lantern, with
a bright light, on the near side of my
buggy and started to Ashland on bus
mess. Just before reaching the
highway at the Billings bridge / no.
ticed an auto coming up the hill,
seemingly at high speed. I crossed
the bridge and was perhaps a few
hundred yards up North Main street.
/ heard no horn or blast of any kind
and am sure there was none given.
But / was very careful to keep on
my side Of the street, knowing my
light could be plainly seen either
from the front or rear. This driver
struck my buggy with an awful
crash, throwing me high in the air.
struggled to fall as far to the right
of the pavement as possible so as not
to be crushed under the car. On ac-
count of the car throwing my rig to
the right and almost turning it over
was not able to fall clear of the
wreck. struck on my back on the
brake bar and fortunately held on
to my lines and spoke to the noble
animal and he stopped dead still
giving me a chance to get on my feet
in time to see the inhuman wretch
who struck me spin up the street al
lightning speed / can not find
words in the English language to ex'
press my contempt for such cold
blooded creatures, who are worse
than murderers, who usually pay nc
taxes and are absolutely of no bene'
fit to the public in any way. They
seem to have plenty of money to sent
out of the country for buying gas
but seemingly have no brains to tel
them how to use the gas when they
get It. They are danger to the
public wherever you find them, and
do not generally show as much rea
intelligence as my noble horse die
when he so tenderly needed my cal
and gave me a chance to get out from
under the awful wreck, instead oi
being crushed or dragged to death
May God bless those noble animals
who are seemingly mans best friends
after all. II there is not a Heaven
somewhere prepared for them when
they die, after serving man faithfully
for a lifetime, I'm sure there ought
to be, and I'm sure, too, that II the
question of war a few years age
could have been left for the horse
to decide, there would have been nc
war. And II the question OF labor

POLITICAL PARTIES ARE DEAD

The one fact which stands out un-
questioned and compelling above the
confusion of results in the election
is that political parties, as hereto
fore existing in this country have
practically Dissolved. With the ex-
ception OF the south, where party
means nothing but the persisting ne
gro issue, national parties are gone.
We do not believe that the vote
OF one state in the union, outside Of
the south, was determined by the
party issues. If some communities
voted for more tariff and some for
less. It was not because these things
we're republican or democratic, but
because of personal interest as far
removed from parties as from indi-
vidual candidates. No item of the
Hughes campaign evoked such dis
gust and remonstrance as the insist
ance OF abstract merit in one party,
as a party, over the other. The pub
nc balks at every assertion of such
a thing.
Not only is this passing Of party
reasonable, but 1t is amazing how
long the poor old thing Jagged sup
erfluous on the stage. 1t was dead
some years ago, and ought to have
been buried decently. To its demise
both parties and several individuals
have contributed notably. The Bryan
business broke tho solidarity Of dem
ocracy. Through four campaigns
Bryanits9 and anti-Bryanites knitted
each other vigorously. How keep
the party idea intact through that
sort Of waIfaref
: The Roosevelt episode was even
more instructive and effective. Here
was a bolt that carried with 1t more
than half the party men. He founded
a new party on burial curses spoken
above the body of the old. Then he
came back and dug 1t out of the
grave and covered 1t with passionate
actresses and pledged to 1t new oaths
OF love. Among the millions who
followed his example, what idea of
party fidelity could possibly suryivef
Only the form OF parties is left.
II survives without honor, or glory
or power. Presently new associa-
tions will form real principles. That
will be mighty interesting.

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedici most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia f..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and we'll, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
hammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third.-The great number Of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof Of the value of
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
Fourth.-Every aiIing woman in the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia +. Pinkham Medicine
Co. (c~onfidential), Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. 1t free, will bring you
health and may save your life.
