in his speech of ACCEPTANCE thank
God take up the stand Of Democracy
a free man, unfettered by promises.
"If that be true, then, as free man,
he has solemnly pledged himself to
drag us, as soon as he possibly can,
into the whirlpool of European wars
by ratification of the unholy and
anti-American Wilcon Covenant which
will force perpetual bond issues from
treasury burdened already to the
breaking point, and perpetual con-
scription of American youths to die
upon foreign battlefields in causes not
their own. The time has arrived when
all American patriots regardless of
party-men and women, fathers and
mothers-must stand together for the
protection of their firesides against
such a deadly menace designed by Mr.
Wilson an dnow promoted by Mr.. Cox"
Taylor continues;
worn out by the excuses and lille
galities of palitical dictatorship, con-
structed upon the ruins of the Presi-
dency through complicated net work
of war statutes entirely applicable to
state of peace, the American people
now demand the immediate repeal of
the same. They perfectly understand
that the real motive for the absurd
prolongation Of technical state of
war, for years after it has ceased to
exist in fact, is to enable the Executive
Power to perform many abnormal acts,
under the cover of war statutes. mani
testify illegal in time of peace. They
resent the grave and scandalous as
saults upon the sacred writ of habeas
corpus made by the Executive Power;
the harsh enforcement of un-American
sedition laws generally regarded by
all calm and non-partisan jurists as
unconstitutional; the many violent and
indefensible encroachments that have
been made upon our system of repre-
sentative government, and upon the
right of freedom of speech. BY such
unbearable conditions, which are rap
idly undermining our entire fabric of
constitutional morality we are adj
monished that the time has arrived for
us to advance by falling back. Let us
return to the faith OF our fathers; let
us re-establish the Constitution as
they made it."

The function of the kid neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid neys active
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take g tablespoonful in d glass of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid, neys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irri' tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure; makes delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean and active. Try this, alse keep up the water drinking, and ne doubt you will wonder what became ol your kidney trouble and backachs.

IRENE' PRESENTED
 AT PARSONS HOUSE
New York Success Is Repeated
 in Hartford
CBy Herald Reviewcr.D

Irene" the musical comedy that took New York by storm last season. opened a three days engagement al Parsons thcater in Hartford last evening and proved. even with the road company which undertook it's in- depreciation. q clean. charming and wholesome little piece. The cast which presents Irene is obviously q young one. hut they dc well in their parts. the action runs smoothly and the scenic effects and costuming are excellent. Briefly. Irene has to do with a daughter of the tenements Irene. who. through a strange trick of fate, is noticed by a wealthy social leader. Donald Marshall. Marshall, 70 aid his friend, Ha rrison. who in turn is trying to boost along the business of a modiste friend, secures for Irene a position as model. Other elements such as the ambitious ocial climber the plebcian mother of Irene and the modiste, who proves to be a man. enter the play to make for a series of amusing incidents. eliminating in the finale when Irene's mother comes to the wealthy Mir Bowden's select ball to claim her daughter.
 Miss Dale Winter as Irene sings we'll, dresses we'll and has a captivat- ing personality. RoIlin Grimes, Jr. as Marshall. though he has a really little part as far as acting is con- cerned, pleases with his personality. Florence Mack as Mrs. O'Dare gives an excellent bit Of character acting and in the last scene, dressed in the height of fashion she resembles nothing as much as a Roman gladia- tor. Laurels for the real comedy. however, ro to Raymond Crane. who. as Mme. Lucy, takes tho difficult role of acting the part of q very effeminate male. He does not overdo his part and produces many hearty laughs.
