IF You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfill the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medic
inal preparation that has real cura-
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need
OF it.
A prominent druggist says take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation l have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact, so many people claim,
that it fulfills almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects. urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer e Co., Binghamton, N. Y,

Action on the Home Rule Measure

The general assembly will begin it's delibera-
tons within few days. One of the first bills
to be introduced in both houses is the home rule
BILL which will give to Indiana cities the right to
choose their own form of government.
Public sentiment in many Indiana cities has
been aroused in favor of the measure. Home rule
is not an untried and INFESTED theory, but IS
working efficaciously in many municipalities.
It's best recommendation is the testimony OF the
cities where it is in operation. None wants re-
turn of the old system under which Indiana cities
are handicapped today. The success of the de-
parture has appealed to the Hoosier communities
where poor city administration, expensive and
wastefu has disguised taxpayers and provoked
them into demanding municipal reform.
Richmond is prepared to wage hard fight
for the ADOPTION of the bill. It's civic organiza-
lions will send representatives to the legislature
to show how widespread is the demand here for
the passage of the bill. They will go fortified
with facts that should appeal both to the COM
mittee to which the bill will be referred and to
the legislators who finally will vote on the meas
ure, provided that it is not strangled or chloro-
formed in the committee.
1t seems safe to predict that the measure
will at least be reported to the floor of the house
and of the senate. Seven years ago home rule
bill, after number OF pubic hearings, was quleI-
ly put to death by the committee. This year
public sentiment will not permit such ruthless
action.
After the measure is before the general as
sembly it will not be difficult matter to obtain
vote on it. In the meantime the attitude of the
majority will be known, and the men who are
opposing it will be made to feel the power of
public opinion. Indiana cities have good chance
to obtain home rule this year if they let their
legislators know their sentiment.

Ripping Rhymes
By WALT MASON
THE PEPTIMIST

The peptimist is one who works
with most exceeding vim, and sets
example to the shirks who may keep
tab on him. So many men, with drag
ging feet, go to their tasks each day;
with frowns they shuck the ears of
wheat and thrash the bales of hay.
With scowls they ply the shining saw
or WELD the useful churn; they're
only happy when they draw the pay
they think they earn. And when there
is slump in trade, and workmen must
be fired, these delegates are first to
fade-they've made the bosses tired.
The peptimist has taken pride in Ia
bors safe and sane, whateer tool he
may have piled. corkscrew or q
plane. He did not go with dragging
step when morning whistles blew; in
every motion there was pep, no sulky
fits he threw. And when a slump in
trade appears, and workmen are laid
off. the boss announces, through his
tears. We'll keep this hustling toff.
We can't afford to let him go, he's such
a useful man; We'll keep him, though
to Tom and Joe we must attach the

The Prevention of Railroad Strikes

The recent action of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in entering into agreement with the
trainmen for the prevention of strikes is another
indication of the progressive methods of that
system. It's officials realize that the third party
to every strike-the enthusiastically pays the
price for an interruption of traffic.
The agreement between the railroad and its
workers, in this instance, shows also that both
of them have learned that there are two sides to
every controversy, which can best be explained
and settled in conference Every strike of the
past has been settled around conference table,
anyway. Why interrupt traffic, curtail the earn
ing power of the workers, diminish the return on
the invested capital, stir up animosity and strife
if the issue will lend itself to amcable settle
ment by peaceful methods?
/ The strike is anachronism that should not be
tolerated in modern industrial relations. The

Useless Laws

When the general assembly adjourns after a
session of 60 days, another quota Of laws will
have been added to the statute books of Indiana.
Some of the acts will be progressive measures to
promote the welfare of the state; others will be
of less merit; some might just well not have
been written.
The statute books of the state now are bur-
dened with hundreds of laws that either are
dead, seldom invoked or are not enforced. Their
presence on the law books impedes rather than
aids law enforcement.
If the last legislature had appointed COM
mittee to select number of imperative laws
and to recommend their repeal at this session.
the state would be better off.
The vast majority of persons believes that we
do not need more laws but better laws. If the
present session of the legislature enacts laws of
major proportion that will have statewide in
fuence, it will be fulfilling wish of the people

Good Evening
THE RUSH HOUR.

Don a suit of armor and shirt of mail,
Crawl into hole as gloomy as Jail.
With three hundred others stand and
wait
While seven hundred more enter
through the gate.
Cars jammed to the window and
damned to the door.
But there's always room for hun
dred more.
It's snug and coy and nice and warm.
Forty-seven riders on the back plat
form.
Then your nose is damned in lady's
hat;
And they all are knocking just because
you're fat.
Twenty-seven men walking on your
feet,
And ninety-eight more get on at Four
teenth street..
You come up twice and you sasp for
air,
And your train goes squeaking on to
any old where.
You figure that the crowd will soon
be gone,
But three get off and forty-six get on.
Then you hurry along, six miles an
hour,
While the way is gloomy and the air
is sour.
Rattle and jangle and buckle and bang.
It's all familiar music to the rush hour
gang.
"Seventy-second!" the guard has
reared;
And three hundred more try to get
aboard. --...
Of all forms of travel, it is the worst,
And another half-hour TO A.Hundred
