 THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance
 Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Compan- ies, in an interview of the subject, made the. astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants. for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma jority of those whose applicatio are. declined do not even suspect that they. have the disease. pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, Y. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Norwich Daily Bulletin.

 The meeting was held in the Paw catuck Seventh Day Baptist church, Westerly.
 The superintendent of health in Westerly in his report to the town council, did not include a single case of influenza, and in consequence, it was supposed the town was free from the disease. As a matter of fact there have been many cases in the town, so many that some of the physicians were compelled to omit office hours for calling on patients. There have i been several deaths from pneumonia LOlION4l 4llSS iIItlu0IIZd' u may DG Itldl the cases were not reported to the superintendent of health, but it is un- derstood that quite a number of cases have been reported to the state board Of health from Westerly.

Equal rights for all; special privileges for none
is good doctrine whether applied to national mea-
sures. or measures adopted in state, counties and
cities. And the Democratic Party is more strongly
disposed to insist upon the app cation OF that dec
alton in whatever place it is in power man who
stands for anything else may call himself Demo-
crat; but he is not good one
"And if man holds at heart his Democratic prim-
cipes he will stand for them at all times and in all
places. And he will want the principles supported
and sustained by all who believe in them. And if
he stands as party leader he will want to uphold
those principles, and he will associate politically with
men who have the same views. When he goes into
elections he will not aftetr the false gods of nor
parisanship, fusion anything else that does not
insist upon "equa rights for ALL special privileges
for none"
"When see men calling themselves Democrats
running upon the same ticket with Republicans who
are standing and supporting special privileges in
town or city government, am skeptical about his
Democracy"

EDITORIALS.
WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT?

In conversation with "The Oasis editor recently
DIR. Dan Thomas Frye who is an asprant for the Dem
ocraic nomination for State Representative express
ed himself clearly upon the above inquiry that the
editor thought it very well to preserve the short and
lucid dissertation.
Said DR.! Frye, II think that President Wilson's
definition of what makes man Democrat is about
as clear cut and accurate definition have ever
heard. Mr.. Wilson has defined Democrat as Zone
who votes the Democratic ticket"
"The primary reason why man is a member Of
the Democratic party is because he believes in carry
ing the principles of that party into practical app
cation in conduct of the government. If he believes
those principles worthy of application, they wor
thy of application all the way down from the national
government through the state, county, city ward
and precinct governments

This sluunpTl IN the pricsaofsa prod
act In which 20 many have come to
take an active interest viii be ! SER
ious thing for some srowera Others
win view the situation with compare
tive Indifference. What makes the
difference.
Not many years ago sweet clover
was regarded ASA weed. Steps were
in many taken to eradicate it.
Then ii was discovered that the plant
had value for forage and for silage,
and, perhaps more important still,
that it was q valuable cleaning and
fertiltaang agent. Many obnoxious
growths that did not yield readily
to other treatment were smothered
by the dense growth OF xweet clover.
The long root with which the plant
pierces. the soil brings up from be-
low stores of fertility otherwise in
accessible. BY means of it's own par
a%phernalia the plant separates nitro
gen from the air and stores 1t in the
SOIL. And the rank growth, turned
under by the pillow, supplies both
humus and chemical fertilizer for flu
ture crops.
suddenly sweet clover became pop
ular. Everyone wanted it, and there
was not enough seed to supply the
demand. Seed prices scared. Men
became rich on one crop of seed. And
then came the slump, because pro-
duction had outrun demand, and there
was more seed than was needed.
The farmer who kept his other
farm operations going, who persisted
in q well planned system Of rotation,
and whosplanted a reasonable acreage
to sweet. clover, having in mind the
effect that would be produced on his
soil and the supply Of forage that he
would have for his stock, as we'll as
having n eye fixed on the long
price which he hoped to obtain for
the seed. will be disappointed on the
seed end Of the. enterprise. But his
sweet clover will yield him a profit,
nevertheless. One element of profit
will be reduced. and may be elimin-
ated entirely. But If he'should have
to throw his seed away, the crop will
still have been a benefit to him. Next
year he will plant another field with
sweet clover, and next year another,
and so on.
The nan who will suffer is the man
who plunged, who ceased farming
for a while to speculate. We can
imagine such a farmer abandoning
wheat, oats, barley and corn, and
planting every acre in sight with
sweet clover. He needs the money
which. he expected to get for the seed
with which to pay his years expenses.
and the money IL not there. The
farmer of that type 10 not apt to be q
stock raiser. 1t takes too long to
raise a steer, and hogs are too much
bother. Hence he cannot feed his
hoof. His soil has been benefited,
but he needs the money now. He
cannot wait for the completion of
the slow process Of extracting from
the soil by mea of future crops
what the sweet clover has put into it.
He has been severely set back. He is
fortunate if he has escaped ruin.
The farmer will plant more sweet
clover. The plunger Is not likely
to do SO, Next. year he will plunge
on some other crop-if he can ar
range his finances in the meantime.

TRANSITION IN CITY GOVERN.
MENT.

Last night the Grand Forks city
council closed up its work and went
out of existence. The event is one Of
no little interest to the people of the
city. While here have been many
changes In the personnel of our. city
government since the first days II the
city's official existence. the govern
ment itself has been uninterrupted.
and the governing body has been con-
ttnuous. Each year half Of the alder
men have been-re-elected, or have
given place to successors, and every
second year the mayor has seither
been reelected or passed the office on
to some other man chosen to All II.
But The council itself has been con-
tinuous, and the Office OF mayor has
continued unchanged in its functions.
Now, for the first time, while there is
no gap between the old sys.em and
the new. there is a complete change
in the form of the government. The
mayor and council are succeeded by
a. commission Of five, which, while it
possesses all the. powers formerly in
herent in the city government, will
exercise them in an entirely different
manner.
The commission receives the city
from the mayor and council free from
complications or embarrassment of
any kind. It starts in with a clean
slate. All the business of the city has
been brought up to date, all it's affairs
put in shape. There is no floating in
d~ebtedness. Funds collected for that
purpose have been applied to the re-
duction of bonded indebtedness, as
provided by law. In spite of the adj
vancing costs of everything during
the past several years the late COIN
Gil has been able to effect a slight
reduction in taxation for current ex-
penses. ~
The record made by the retiring Of
ffcfals has been in every way credit
able. The men who step out OF office
have served the city earnestly and
capably, and without thought or ex-
pectation of personal advantage.
They have acquitted themselves hon
orably, and are entitled to the appre-
citation and the thanks Of the CON
munity.
The new government takes over the
city with debts paid to date, with busi-
ness properly closed. with ali its af-
fairs In excellent condition. 1t takes
over a city with credit Of the highest.
1t accepts an opportunity to perform
a splendid public service. Whatever
the opinion of n citizen as to the
wisdom of making the change that
has just been made. that change must
be accepted in good spirit and good
faith. The five men chosen at the
recent municipal election constitute
the government Of Grand Forks. The
commission thus constituted will need
and must have, the hearty co-opera-
ton of the citizens in every effort
that it makes for the wise and eff
cient handling of the affairs Of the
city. The positions in which these
commissioners have been placed are
positions Of honor and responsibility.
The attitude Of the people toward
their new officials should be, and un-
doubleday will be that Of cordial CO.
operation ees,''sSi.t5-s 49, 4@f@'e's- y
