HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies Of rheuma::
tism are usually the result OF failure OF
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return Of the disease,
Get some GOLD MEDAL. Harlem
brought back the joys of life to count
less thousands of sufferers from rheu-
matism, lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
gall stones, gravel and other affections
of the kidneys, liver. stomach, bladder
and allied organs.
They will attack the poisons at once,
clear out the kidneys and urinary tract
and the soothing healing oils and HERDS
will restore the inhamed tissues and
organs to normal health.
All others are limitations. Ask for
GOLD MEDAL and be sure the name
GOLD MEDAL Is on the box. Three
sizes, at all good druggists.

The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with road machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops
and plows. One road machine with
suitable power and operator will
do the work Of many men with picks

If the road is composed OF, fine clay
or soil it will sometimes ply to re.
surface it with top soil from an ad-

THE CRISIS

a MERICA needs another Tom Paine to write
another pamphlet on "The Crisis" Verify
The crisis is here. Many lesser crises con-
tribute to the major crisis. The major crisis
has to do with the perpetuation of this repub-
lie AS a republic, and not as a benevolent
oligarchy
The trend Of the times is toward the oil
garchy-the government of the many by the
few. 1t is so because the many are upset by
extraordinary conditions and some hundreds
Of thousands of them have lost their heads, fig
uratively speaking. The trend is toward ben
evolent oligarchy in this country where the few
may be faced with the necessity of controlling
the country for the benefit of the many.
Both the monarchial oligarchy and the
benevolent oligarchy are perilous to liberty.
Nevertheless, in supreme crisis the benevo-
lent oligarchy sometimes becomes necessary.
1t is for America and Americans so to act, so
to serve, so to stand by and so to carry on that
the democracy instead of the olgarchy shall
control.
The taking over of the coal mines by the
government or by the individual states is an
oligarchical act, but in the present emergency
it is an act of benevolent oligarchy and because
Of the absolute necessity therefor it must be
Upheld. II is. however, IN indication of the

A SINISTER CONSPIRACY

TNDER that caption The Oklahoman yester

heartily by the writer of this paragraph, who
has been member of trades union and be

The railroad trainmen at Frontenac,
Kan, who refused to handle the coal
mined by volunteers are guilty of a sinis-
ter conspiracy against the public They
not only are ndorsing the effort of the
striking coal miners to cause suffering and
deaths among the masses of the people,
but they are deliberately aiding in the at
tempt to beat the public to its knees.
The action of the railroad tainmen is
especially reprehensibe in view Of the fact
that the coal which they have refused to
handle was dug by men who practically
gave up positions on quit their work at col
leges and universities in order to produce
fuel to prevent suffering and deaths. Men
who delay the transportation of such coal
are guilty of a crime against the public wei
fare which calls for prompt punishment.
They not only have dealt a cowardly blow
at the public, but have been guilty of inter
fering with the government operation
of the railroads in time Of a war emer-
gency. They have, in addition, violated
the federal law against conspiraces to
interfere with the distribution Of fuel
There should be no hesitation in arrest
ing these railroad trainmen and giving

The Cost of LiOing

Official Washington, which could
not discover the cost Of living prob
lem until the railroads thrust it I'M
DER the official noses, is likely to ad-
vance remedies that viii be worse
than useless. The proposed raid on
the wheat farmers is case in point.
4 mere blind raid on prices that will
be paid for by the fundamental pro-
e.ucers is likely to produce a nation
vide panic.
What we, need is q new system Of
distribution which will take control
o1. production out of the hands of the
market specialists and market gam
blers. AS a nation we are producing
for market profit instead of pro
ducing for use.
Our so-called captains OF industry,
with the exception of few like Hen
?, c5d, use their talents and all the
talent they can hire to see how much
they can sell an article for instead of
irving to see how cheaply they can
produce it.
Little wonder then that we are not
producing enough coal, enough shoes,
enough clothes or enough food to go
around, and that prices soar and
soar.
Efficiency experts have estimated
that our factories are about 70 per
cent efficient.

A Conservative Moue

The Minnesota State Federation of
Labor is, as President Hall of that
body so aptly points out, taking q
conservative, American step when it
comes out for Independent politics.
Labor thus clings to the belief that
the proper remedy for It's wrongs is
political action. It does not, as the
big press asserts, go over to what
this press labels anarchy and bolshe-
vism.
Political representation through the
political bosses, with, a few labor
leaders acting as Ieonfdential go-be-
tweens, has failed to protect the COM
mon people. Labor by, direct action
on the job, which we call strikes. has
succeeded in getting higher wages
and better shop conditions in many
cases, but in the meantime the pro-
fiteers have had a free hand in prev
ing on labor in the prices of neces-
sarles. AS result even the well-or-
gained labor finds its conditions of
living worse today than before the
wal started.
What should labor do?
Critics of the independent labor,
both within and without the labor
movement, declare it should keep out
of politics. But relying on a few la
Dor leaders to persuade men elected

Regardless of the fact that the leg.
lslature was ostensibly convened al
Helena in special session for the rea,
son that legislation was needed to af.
ford drouth-stricken farmers much
needed financial assistance, the open
ing week of the session was daWdled
away without any legislation with
that end in view having been passed
and it is about an even bet that moth
ing of substantial value will be done
along that line.
Gov. Stewart is playing peanut
politics. His chief hackers will not
go step farther than they are forced
by public sentiment to go, because
they would prefer to have the farm
ers starved out rather than to lose
political control of the state.
The Old Gang is in desperate
straights. They see the handwriting
on the wall and do not know which
way to jump.
Their intention is to make a bluff
at aiding the farmers, but they will
expend all their energies in an at
tempt to pass some fake measures
with apparent merit, but that ulti-
lnately will not work.
They may vote for a bond issue to
provide funds to loan to the needy
farmers, but if they do they will bank
on getting a bill through increasing
the supreme court judges by two, and
