PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT
 AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and blad- der troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in rundown condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as almost every victim com plains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so many people say, soon heals and strengthens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, an herbal compound. has g. gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which Is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.
 A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug store, and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Bridgeport TimeA-AdT.

American carelessness, cussedness and politics are responsible for the in- ternaI situation that has caused so much anxiety during the past year. In the heat and stir of preparation, the scum has risen to the top.
 As America has turned her face toward the enemy, every dirty cur in the country has snapped at her heels. We have found that enemy intrenched in America as we'll as in France-sapping in our schools, un- dermining in our press, burrowing in our municipal and state governments -sniping whenever a back has been turned.
 It looks bad, but it is only the scum, and beneath it Americanism is coming to the boiling point. We are in the healthy condition of knowing what the trouble is. We have been too free with America-giving every thing and demanding nothing. We have had happy-go-lucky, don't care theory that nobody need worry about what the unassimilated foreigner did or thought; that everything would come out right in the end; that there was some magic in our air that would | transform the lazy, the weak, the vic | ious into hard-working, honest, desir- able American citizens. We have considered the right of every na- tionality in the world except our own. The immigrant who comes to Amer ica to become an American and who works at the job should be welcome, l but of late years too many of another kind have settled here. Powerful in- f1unces have been at work against their AmericaniZation in the old way. Free entry and opportunity have been given, not only to the honest, sturdy | immigrant with a sincere admiration for our country and the will to work | and become a loyal American, but to the fellow who had only the will to work and work against us. The for 1 eign agitator has been welcomed and | told to go ahead tnd agitate, even when he blackguarded our country and lied to the ignorant and credu- fous about it's government. The pro- fessional troublemaker has been per mitted to go ahead and make trouble. Almost any scoundrel in Europe who fancied a trip to our shores has had a fair field and plenty of favor over here-because this is a free country and the refuge of the oppressed" It has been the refuge of the oppressed, but it has also been the haven of a lot of rascals who have abused our hospitality and besmirched our insti- tutions, not only from the soap box but from the forum.
 The final blame for these condi- tions rests at the door of naturalized and native-born American politicians and demagogues who, to gain and
 keep office, have basely appealed tc sectional and race prejudice, to pas
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-30
nd discontent. The,

sion, ignorance and discontent. They have made possible the perpetuation Of a bable of tongues, segregation of races, growing class prejudice in this country. They have exalted the hyphen until it has become a badge of honor; they have grovelled to every vote except the American vote. It is about time to show them what the solid Americanism of this country can do to them at the polls
 Added to all these forces, selfish, grating, sinister, we have the class appeal-the easiest of all with the un- educated or half educated foreigner who has been class-ridden all his life, without the opportunity that he has over here to become a member of any class for which his brains and his will to work qualify him. As the appeal to discomfort, to class is the easiest, so it offers the best field for the demagogue, the grafter, the cheap intellectual" limeighter. Its apos- ties, linen with soft hands and hard faces" or with hard hands and soft faces, are everywhere just now among labor, bidding it take advantage of the nations need; among the farmers
  raw deal. They search out a partic- ular sore spot, a local grievance in each town and county and base their appeal on that. Last and least are | those fatuous fools-the nut sundae Socialists from the ranks of the slf- styled 'inteIlectuals" and the well-to- do lemon pop Bolsheviki uplifters- preaching something, they don't know a TEh !, don't just care what, so it keeps the spotlight on them. They are self-sac- rif1cing idealists to the last dollar of the other fellows business, but hard as nails in their own affairs.
 They look like a formidable lot, but they are not. These men are simply scum-pikers, grafters, liars and demago agogues-insincere, selfish and dishonest-who will run like rats once America recognizes that even rats can spread malignant disease. We must start by cleaning them out of the schools, the press and the government. The man who plays par tisan politics and appeals to class and race is self-exposed-wor against him; vote against him; throw him out. Never mind what he calls | 1I1AIoel1 -IGep puDIlCdH, DeInOCrdIp SO- cialist or NOn-Partisan Leaguer-the label is camouhage. We need brains honesty and Americanism this year It is better to keep ten men out of office on suspicion than to let one traitor get in. And not all the trai- tors are Germans or pro-Germans There is something peculiarly vile about the American who tries to make money or office out of this war l-who, while other men die for an ideal, shouts out gold or place among lthe graves.

JAMES o'DONNOLL BENNETT.

James O'Donnoll Bennett, the American war correspondent who in
 the early days of the war accompan-
 jed the German armies in both west ern and eastern theatres of the war,
 is a native of Jackson, Mich, and will
 be forty-eight years old tomorrow, as he was born on May Day, 1870. He was a studnet at the University of
 Michigan, but didn't graduate, al-
 though his alma mater later recog- nized his journalistic ability by giving him an honorary A. B. MT. Bennett began his journalistic career at the age of twenty and at one time or an- other has been connected with nearly all the Chicago newspapers. He re-
 ceived his baptism of fire as a war
 correspondent during the Spanish American war, when he represented the Chicago Journal. For many years he was dramatic editor, which
 may or may not have been the reason for sending him to the theatre of war.
 With Irwin S. Cobb, John T. McCutch- con. and several other American cor 1 respondents. MT. Bennett went to Bel gium soon after the Germans invaded
 that country. This party of Amer
 jeans were the only correspondents

who were successful in following the German army during the early stages of the fighting. After two weeks of marching, MT. Bennett and his com panions were arrested at the order of German officer and, although told they were not prisoners, were locked up in a filthy jail where number of French prisoners were also confined. Later they were removed to better quarters and told that, although they were not prisoners, they would be shot if they attempted to leave the building. After a time they escaped to Holland. Some of the correspond ents had had enough of the war, and returned to America, but MT. Bennett remained, and later secured permis- sion to accompany the German armies in the East.

CARRIER BIRDS
 HAVE GAS MASKS

London, April 30-An exhibition of carrier pigeons here shows many de- vices used to protect the birds in their flights at the front. Several pigeons are shown painted in camoufiage col bring, while gas masks for use dur ing gas attacks are also exhibited.
 Many stories of the heroic deeds of these birds of war are told by the men in charge of the exhibition. Sev- eral cases are related in which pigeons delivered their messages after being hit with shrapnel. It is said that the percentage of casualties among the birds is very low, as they very quickly get to know som cthing of shell fire and how to avoid it. The older birds it is asserted, become very wise to danger"

CORRESPONDENT
 SAYS OUR BOYS
 NOT GOOD COOKS

Paris, April 30-At last French correspondent has found a weak spot in the American Expeditionary Force. The man who has ventured to strike this first discordant note is the spe- cial representative of Le Temps at the French front who happened to be near the American section which had the first real fight with the enemy and so paid them a visit. He writes:
 There are certain practical points in which our allies are not yet past masters, notably cooking. Our cooks showed them how to make soup and they soon acquired a taste for it. It won't be long before they will be making some good stuff themselves, better anyway than the extraordinary mixtures l saw them eating this even- ing, like canned salmon with mashed potatoes and pickled cucumbers!"

BUYING NEW CARS

In the past three days the Maxwell
Agency has sold thre new Maxwell
1918 model cars to the following citi-
zens:
Mr.. ]. C. Howell of Anthony; Judge
w. E. Smith of Ocala, who now owns
his third Maxwell, and Mr.. ]. S.
Bitch of Montbrook, private secre-
tary to Governor Cats. Strange to
say, Mr.. Blitch's new car makes his
third Maxwell bought from this agen-
cy.
While other manufacturers are ex-
periencing delays and difficulties as
well as getting freight equipment to
ship them in, the Maxwell's great fac
tories are sending their dealers all
the cars they can use.
The Maxwell agency here had 10
Maxwell cars in stock and one Max
well truck and is now unloading two
carloads of II more pleasure cars and
one carload of four trucks, and there
is another carload of pleasure cars
just behind them.

Rurns Inconsistent in love.

Burns love affairs were both the
product and the inspiration of his
genius, says the London Telegraph.
Although he had written to Clarinda OF
Edinburgh that, compared with her,
Jean Armour was as the expiring
gIimmer of a farthing taper beside the
glory of the meridian sun, he married
Jean within two months. Last year at
Sotheby's letter written a week after
his marriage, vindicating Jean entirely,
fetched $3.50. A few days ago a Curl
Gus Burns letter was offered dated
June 26, 1888 Burns was married
August 3, 1889, in which he states:
81 have waited on Mr.. Auld about my
marriage affair and stated that / was
legally fined for an irregular marriage
by justice of the peace. He says IL
1 bring an attestation of this by the
two witnesses there shall be no more
litigation about it." The legal mar
riage which followed August was APP
parently the solution of the trouble.
Doubts raised in the auction room as
TO the authenticity of the letter were
dispelled.

COMPANY
WANTS THE ROAD
Outlook Passably Fair that the Okla
waha Valley Will Soon be
Again in Operation

AS has been told by an advertise
ment running in the Weekly Star, the
Oklawaha Valley railroad, it's right
of way and equipment is to be sold at
masters sale in this city Monday,
Feb. 4, unless some satisfactory ar
rangement to resume its operation is
made before that time.
Mr.. Cummings of the Rodman Lum-
Der Company has made proposition,
to take over the road, and the Star
understands that it will be accepted,
in case Mr.. Cummings can make the
required $4,000 bond. There is little
doubt that he can do this, so the
chances for the resumption of service
on the road are good.
The road would fit in well for the
big lumber business of the Rodman
Company, and could beside give the
people along its line fair freight
and passenger service. Such service
must be resumed within sixty days
after giving bond, so the people along
the line may soon see the trains run
ming again.
