THE TREATY.

No, the Treaty is not dead. Wood
rev Wilson may die-probably will
but his principles will live as the
Torch of Liberty, to enlighten the
World, and his ideals to brighten the
horizon of redeemed international
ism.
Progress based on law, and a
reign of law, based on the consent
of the governed and sustained by the
organized opinion of mankind" cam
not die. After all, only thirteen
the fateful thirteen-are opposed to
the Covenant.
The principles of the League of
Nations will win-but we have al
ways thought and always advocated
in these columns that it be a party
issue.
The religious press and Ministers
who preach the "Coming of the King
dom" will be for it.
The women of our land who see in
it the dawn of a perpetual peace will
vote and pray for its success. Men
of scientific attachments will see in
it the justification of their hopes and
aims.
Party men will acclaim it andsmen
who live above party-if there are
any-will endorse it.
The party press will enthusiastic
cally support the measurable Spirit
of jefferson among them-and at
only slight advance in our subscip-
ton rates.
We feel assured that the Rippon
Invincibles will march in the process
sion, and we are told that the Shen-
andoah Junction Tammany braves
are already sharpening their knives
and putting on their war paint for
the scalp dance.
We shall win.

Many Charles Town People in This

and painful.
The urinary passages are often ir-
regular and distressing.
The sufferer, tired, worn-out and

Weak kidneys need quick help.
They need special kidney rem
edy.

ailments.
Can any Charles Town reader
doubt this statement?
Mrs Maggie E. Russell, 304 E.
Liberty street, Charles Town, says:
MY back ached constantly and was
so weak and lame | was miserable.
My kidneys didn't act right and
felt tired and languid. Another of
the family had used Doan's Kidney
Pills, so / got supply at Brown &
Hooff's Drug Store. One box cured
me of the troubleand l have much
confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills. !"
