should clear away all legal obstacles
and create basis Of undoubted law
for 1t which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity Is here and may escape
us II we hesitate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments Of the organic law OF
Porto Rico Is brief and conclusive.
The present laws governing the Island
and regulating the rights and priv
ileges Of its people are not just. We
have created expectations of extend.
ed privilege which we have not salts
fled. There Is uneasiness among the
people Of the Island and even sus-
picious doubt with regard to our intent
ions concerning them which the adopt
ion of the pending measure would
happily remove. We do not doubt
what we wish to do in any essential
particular. We ought to do it at once.
AT the last session Of the congress
a bill was passed by the senate which
provides for the promotion of voca-
tional and Industrial education which
is of vital importance to the whole
country because It concerns matter
too long neglected, upon which the
thorough industrial preparation Of the
country for the critical years of econ
omic development Immediately ahead
Of us In very large measure depends.

May not urge its early and favorable

May l not urge its early and favorable
consideration by the House of Rep
resentatives and its early enactment
into law! It contains plans which
affect all interest and all parts Of the
country and l am sure that there is no
legislation now pending before the
congress whose passage the country
awaits with more thought approval
or greater impatience to see a great

being DONE"
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two Houses Of which It Is
not necessary that / should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this Is, Gentlemen,
probably the last occasion I shall have
to address the Sixty-fourth Congress,
l hope that you will permit me to say
with what genuine pleasure and salts

in the many measures of constructive

chased $40 worth for personal use;
Swayne-Robinson company, IS: Frank
Watt for Watt and Keelor's coffin
factory, S.; and E. B. Clements for
the Wayne Works, S. worth.
Mail Plan Is Success.
The letter mail selling plan proved
to be highly successful. OF the first
II replies which Miss Mary A. Stubs,
1900 North G street, received, $11.50
was paid in return for 1900 seals.
Several persons failed to send their
names and Miss Stubs requested that
every purchaser enclose the, name to
avoid confusion in checking returns.
Acknowledgement cards will be sent
for every purchase over so cents.

in the schools Friday, both in Rich
mond and in the county, and pupils
will be asked to boost for the sale Of
seals for each member of their fami-

opportunities, they developed their tai

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-RoOt, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re.
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex.
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASE

"As I go round the circle" uttered

campaign tours of presidents. 1t was
David Locke, the Petroleum V. Nasty

the words of Johnson into the "Swing-

Congress.
1t was on August "a, 1866 that Presi-

General Grant and Admiral Farragut,

by n majority of those present at the
different outdoor receptions, with the
respect due his office.

shown some degree of moderation anG
