WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP.

The federal trade commission has completed it's investigation of the big meat packers of the country; and in it's report, recommends that the plants be taken over and operated by the govern ment for the benefit of the people as whole. The commission found a gigantic trust organlz- ed to bleed the people and gather millions for itself At this iuncture, rise to ask: What is the next step in the premises. Surely, the matter cannot rest. Something must be done to the men who robbed the people during period when the country could stand the least thievery. To rob the rich at all time may be pardonabe !; and to rob the rich and the poor sometime, may also be pardonable; but to rob the poor at time when they are doing all in their power to help the government to protect us all, deserves severe punishment. The men making up that trust are worse than the rankest pro-German. Worse than the most insidious German prOpagandist. They are traitors to the country. What a differ ence between these men and the millions of sol diers and Red Cross workers who give their lives and devote every energy to help the people including the thieves making up their trust under discussion.
 Now that the investigation is over; Francis J. Heney should be appointed to prosecute them. He is the one man who can do it with any degree of fairness to the people, and he should not rest until every one is landed in the strongest state penitentiary in the country, where they belong

All kinds of charges have been made against the judge, according to that report This forced Attorney General Gregory to investigate; and for that purpose Mir. Smiser appointed who gum shoed his way into Nome with the evident inten- tion of whitewashing the judge. He is said to have conducted very gentlemanly investigation. On the quiet, you understand, without looking for much evidence, it is said. As matter of fact if we are given the privilege of reading between the lines, Smiser was not looking for evidence. He carried out his part along the same line that lie carried other investigations here at the last term of court. Attorney Smser proved himself

We frequently hear from returning visitors to the states of extravagant stories of the uses to which shopworkers and others engaged in war industries are putting their newly acquired prosperity We are told that highly-paid ship workers are throwing their Fords onto the scrap heap and buying high-priced cars with which to ioyride to their daily employment, meanwhile demanding that moneyed men build marble palaces that the workers can buy at $25. down and S1 month This is surely going some"- going crazy.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Canaan Citizens Testify for the
 Public Benefit

A truthful statement of a Canaan citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use tested kidney medicine.
 A Canaan citizen tells of Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Could you demand more convinc- ing proof of merit?
 George R. Morris, retired machin- ist, Main St., says: About four years ago suffered greatly from kidney trouble. I had annoying pains across the small of my back and the kidney secretions were burning and irregular in passage. I often felt all tired out. A friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills and gave them trial. I must say they helped me wonderfully. I still use Doan's Kidney Pills once in awhile with good results"
