KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Pierre People Know How
to Save It

Many Pierre people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Weak Kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill %health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is a Pierre
citizens recommendation:

with pain aud the kidney secretions

Today with greater provocation than
Mckinley had. be is not only maintain
ing peace, but is imposing his will upon
a congress that is quite as impatient
as were those hot-heads of the Fifty
fourth congress. If this is not hand
ling better an equally difficult situation
perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt's omniscience
will explain how it could be bettered.
Not content with contradicting him
self on the matter of Hughes with and
without whiskers, Mr. Roosevelt must
recall his stiffness of opinion by drag
ging into an altogether foreign discus
sion a reiteration of his later views on
our failure to protest the violation of
Belgian neutrality, which, strange to
say, have not changed since they were
last aired. Mr.. Roosevelt would find
himself in less danger of embaraass
ment by the ghosts of other opinions if
he would hang over his desk T%aliyrand's
epigram for the guidance of statesmen

Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon Carranza by representa-
tives of European powers to prevent
him from forcing a break with the
United States. Indirect reports
reaching the State Department today
told of these efforts, and said there
was a possibility that they would be
successful. Agencies of the entente
allies are understood to be active for
peace, particularly because they be-
lieve German influence has sought to
inflame the Mexican government
against the United States, with a
view to prevent the United States
from gathering in trade formerly
controlled by Germany in Mexico
and South and Central America. 1t
is pointed out that Carranza might
avoid war by calling for an interna-
tional commission to discuss the
border situation, as provided for in
the Mexican treaty of l84S. So far,
however, no suggestion for such a
step has come from Mexico.

RoosEvELT's LATEST ANTIc

Colonel Roosevelt, in finally declining
the progressive nomination for the presi-
dency, took advantage of the opportunity,
as he has so often done before, to fatty
contradict statements made on other,
more promising occasions, and to advance
criticisms Of President Wilson that are
not only in extreme bad taste, coming
from n has held and must realize the
onus of the office, but also of very doubt
full point.
A few weeks, or maybe a few months,
before the Chicago conventions, when
Mr.. Roosevelt, in the exultation of his
heroic" mood that he hoped to trans
fuse into the veins of the country, declar-
ed IN his ont-spoken way: "There is no
difference between Hughes and Wilson
that q barber could not emove in ten
minutes. Today, with the possibility of
his own election gone glimmering, he for
gets his former aversion to "the man in
ambush' and, in his letter to the pro-
gressives, strongly commends Mr.. Hughes
in the following terms:
II regard Mr.. Hughes as a man whose
public record is a guarantee that he will
not merely stand for a program of clean
cut straightout Americanism before cleo
ton, but will resolutely and iu good faith
put it through If elected He is beyond
all comparison better fitted to be prssi-
dent than Nj. Wilson"
To the uninitiated eye the tonsorial
difference between Hughes and the pres
ident still remains, but time has evident
" cast q scale upon Mr.. Roosevelt's vision
binding him to those objections which he
once saw.
Among the gratuitious criticisms that
Mr.. Roosevelt offered the president for
his attitude in international affairs we find
this little gem:
THE defenders of Mi. Wilson hive
alleged as excuse for him that he confront-
cd Z difficult situation. As regards Mex
leo, the situation which Mr.. Wilson Q n
fronted vas nothing like as difficult as
hat which President Mckinley confront
Cd In connection with Cuba and the Phil
pipines at the time Of the Spanish war"
i is not natural that Mr.. Roosevelt's
vision should be distorted in favor of the
man whose weak welding Of authrity gave
opportunity to the Rough Riders and made
possible that military reputation on
which the Roosevelt political career

Primarily for the convenience of the railroads
a standard of time established by mutual
agreement in 1888 by which trains are run and
local time regulated. According to this system
the United States is divided into four time sec

to one hour, commencing with the 18TH meridian.
The first, or Eastern, section includes all terri
tory between the Atlantic coast and an irregular
line drawn from Detroit to Charleston, s. C.
The second, or Central, section includes all the
territory between the lastnamed line and an

not only for the Lustania but particularly for
the reputation of the Arabic The loss Of 1I5
Americans on the Lusitania was wild crime,
but it is a small thing in comparison with the
loss Of American independence
Congress and the American people must
atone today for the crime Of indifference
which they have committed For many
months Germany has been persuaded that the
United States was not vitality interested In
the campaign of frightfuiness, that politics
and personalities had so riddIed the country
to prevent unity in feeling or decision in
action That illusion must be destroyed be-
fore the greater German Illusion, Of her own
destiny, can be attacked. The United States
has to meet today the driving will of an en-
pire united in a struggle for life. 1t has no
strength, no bureaucracy to terrify the alien,
no Emperor to dominate Its councils and TO
speak to the rest Of the world. That is why
the United States must find an internal unity.
Today. before the hour is struck, 1t must
summon itself to the great test. 1t must look
back into its history and determine whether
its freedom was worth the price paid at
Lexington.
If the independence Of the United States
was worth buying in blood on the field of
Lexington and at the bridgehead of Concord,
1t is worth preserving today. 1t is worth pre-
serving for united people for people stand
ing with their President and upholding his
hands.
And God helping us, we will preserve It.
