A Word to the Voters

struction is now taking place at FEEDER

Smith-Lever Act, securing Federal

And many other bills, too numerous
to mention, and of various degrees of

At the converting of the last Cen
eral Assembly, both retiring Governor
Carlson and incoming Governor Cum
ter, in addressing the joint session of
Senate and House, called attention to
the fact, proven by experience in act
ual practice, that those great weapons
of the people, the Initiative and Re-
ferendum, had fallen into special hands
and been so subjected to abuse that
the true purposes of the law were
being defeated, and both recommended
and urged such amendatory Legislation
as would prevent the abuse of this
most valued right and at the same
time leave its exercise free to the
people as a whole.
Following these suggestions, made
an unsuccessful attempt to so strength
en- and amend the Initiative and Re-
ferendum law as to retain this power
in the hands of the people as a whole
and prevent its abuse by any parti-
cular gang or interest. As the expense
of exercising this power must be borne
by the people of all parts of the State,

pie of my district, or any other, should
be consulted about mourning this ex-
pense. | desire to retain, strengthen
and protect this valuable weapon and
return it to the people as whole who
may WELD it according to their own
desires, without hindrance or orders

and If elected, / shall continue true to
that belief and follow it to the full ex-

KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE
FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compound
ed from vegetable herbs.
It is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
According to verified testimony it is
natures great helper in relieving and over.
coming kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should have
the best.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you will
find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

BEST SEASONS FOR
PLAYERS AROUND rs
Most of Diamond Stars Start
Downward After That.
Honus Wagner Had His Greatest Year
When He Was 20 Years old--Na-
poIeon Lajoie Was rs When
He Batted for Total of .422.

When does the great ball player
each the greatest efficiency?
At what age is his prowess superior
to his efforts at other times?
A little study of the ages at which
ball players have had their greatest
year is interesting. 1t shows that at
about twenty-five or twenty-six the
maximum Of efficiency is reached.
Honus Wagner had his greatest year
in 1900. At least, he reached his maxi
mum as batsman that year and his
fielding was never better. In 1900 Hon
us was twenty-six years old. He batted
$50 for the season.
Napoleon Lajoie had his best year
In 1901 when he was twenty-six. That
year the great Erenchman batted for
an astounding total Of .422.
Cobb's star year was in 1911, when
he was twenty-five. That year Cobb
batted 400 and amassed 24S hits and
LAT runs. When it Is considered that
there are few batters who get beyond
100 runs or 200 hits a season it may be
seen how far out ahead of the field
Cobb was that year.
Matty had something like sixteen
great years, but the greatest of these
was 1905, when he was twenty-five.
That year Matty won 81 and lost but
nine games out of 40, and pitched three
shut-out games against the Athletics
in the world series, an achievement
which has never been equaled.
Walter Johnson reached his best sea-
son In 1913, when he was twenty-six.
That year he won SO and lost but seven
games. He was twenty-six in 1913. 1t
is hard to pick the greatest year OF
Grover Alexander, who has won more
than 30 games during the last three
seasons, but he delivered these victo-
ries during his twenty-fourth, twenty
fifth and twenty-sixth years.
There are exceptions, of course. iris
Speakers greatest year was 1915. He
was twenty-nine.
Joe Wood won % games and lost five
IN 1912, when he was but twenty-three,
and Rube Marquard was the same age
the same year when he made the re-
markable run of 10 straight victories.
But the majority of the great stars
have been around twenty-five or twen-
ty-six when they had their best sea-
sons.

1t will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in q
country's progress may be obtained by
q knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, country whose
fame having been heralded as a grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what 1T was mostly adapted
to. it will be realized that there is
there a vast stOrehOuse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there warehouses;, milch cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512; in 1915 1,698,220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as it's next
door neighbor nation of over 100000
OOO-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have stimulating effect
on it's progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied. but fertile, land of any
country, but this land Is already made
available by network of railways.
Cost of production of grain Is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on a basis of those Of the United
States.--Advertisem

GRIFFITH FOR DAYLIGHT Law
If Westinghouse Go to Business Ear

Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash

proposed daylight-saving law which
congress may adopt. Griff argues that
if Washingtonians go to business ear
lier in the day they will have more
time to spend at the Washington ball
park. Other baseball magnates and
managers are said to favor this legis-
lation, which in their opinion would In
crease the daily attendance figures to
a marked degree. Games could be
started at four o'clock. with plenty of
time to complete them before sunset.
