EAST MUST COME TO THE. WEST
WITH MCCUMBER IN SENATE

Or. Henry W. Coe, prominent physi-
ian and surgeon OF Portland Oregon
and bosom friend of former President
Roosevelt, made an extended visit in
Washington, D. c. before coming to
North Dakota To choose site for the
statue of Roosevelt, two of which he
is contributing to the State. DR.. Coe
spent considerable time in the senate
gallery watching the work of the
senators and had some very interest
ing comments to make regarding the
work Of Senator McCumber.
Senator McCumber is undoubtedly
the outstanding senator in Congress
to-day and towers above all his asso-
ciates. in ability, power and aggres-
siveness,' said the doctor. Coming
direct from Washington where l had
the opportunity of watching at close
range the work of these men, l am
more firmly convinced than ever that
the people of North Dakota will make
the greatest mistake in their lives
should they fail to re-elect McCum-
Der to the Senate. He has worked for
twenty-three years to attain the chair
manship of the biggest and most i'm
portant committee in Congress. 1t is
the first time in the history of the
country that a Western man has at
tanned the high position which Nc
Cumber now has. North Dakota
should be proud of the signal distinc-
tion given this state by such a man.
McCumber can now get anything he
wants for his state and the west by
virtue of his standing and powers
The East must come to the West and
North Dakota especially when it
wants anything from the finance CON-
mittee. Now with the West and the
agricultural interests and farming
states especially in need of much bene-
ficial legislation, North Dakota voters
have it in their power to return Nc
Cumber to the senate or they will
lose the power which they now have
as a new man would have. to start all
over again where McCumber began
twenty odd years ago."
"There is such thing as a man
being too big to mix in local politics
and state policies. I feel confident
that is just where McCumber stands.
He is much bigger man than the
people at home give him credit for
and I for one do not believe North
Dakotans are so lacking in intelli-
gence and farsightedness as to turn
down the biggest man in the Senate
for reelection. Even Lodge, the
Senator from Massachusetts watches
McCumber on the floor and does what
McCumber wants." "Though he is no
personal friend of mine, I am west
ern man and North Dakota's interests
are the interests of all western States.
McCumber belongs to the entire west
even though we can't all vote for him.
we sincerely hope for his reelection"

l have come to the land Of my lifelong quest
To the land of my hearts desires,
To the by the millions Of earth called blest,
Far greater than world empires
For no monarch rules in that land Of the West
Nor castled walls spires
Strike awe in the heart of the humbest breast
In this land of my hearts desires.
To this land of my dreams; of my hearts desire,
TO this land with its sky so blue,

And swear allegiance true
To the greatest Of all the lands earth,
The dearest of flags to-day,

THE WRONG KEY

nF THE hapless earthlings who call
~ themselves men and women, thou
sands are wandering hither and thither
in life, trying with the wrong key to
unlock the door of fame, success and
honor.
If you will observe closely, you
will see them every hour endeavor-
gtubbornly refuses to respond to the
violent twists and turns of nervous
fingers.
The man who carries the key
which will open the door to minor
places, where he is sure of earning
an independent competence, persists
In tampering with locks behind
whose paneled door there reposes the
coveted chair of manager or president
too big for his occupancy.
Instead of reshaping his key by
hard work and high thinking, filing
away the roughness to make it smooth,
he continues foolishly to waste his
time and energy, quite obliyious all
the while to what he is really doing
And so it Is frequently with men of
talent, too Indifferent or INDECENT to
do anything but routine work, when
instead they should make use of the
key given them by an all-wise Provi-
dence, unlock the right door, and rise
10 greatness.
If persuaded by reason to do this,
they would find opportunity waiting
with open arms to receive them, glad
to round out their lives with happiness
and prosperity.

0SEE0S JOHN BLAKE
YOUR WORK

by LAZINESS, procrastination, or
~ by pretending to be stupider than
you are, you can get quite good deal
OF your work done for you-for a
while.
Ii the man above you is quick and
competent, he will frequently get so
disgusted with you that he will snatch
job out of your hands, and do it him
self
No competent executive will do that,
but you can count all the competent
executives of your acquaintance on
the fingers of one hand.
1t will save you a good deal of trou-
bic to have the hard job taken away
from you. You can devote your time
to doing the easy jobs at your leisure,
and in your own way.
You will probably congratulate
yourself on having a boss that is so
Skillful-so much ADLER than you-that
he can do all the hard work.
But the congratulation will be short
lived. In about years time you will
discover that you can't do anything but
the easy jobs-which are the poorly
paid ones, because you never gave your
mind any exercise doing the hard ones.
All the opportunities for growth and
for progress were in those jobs that
were taken out of your hands. Maybe
the boss who took em away from you
didn't need the mental exercise, but
the point is that he got it, and you
didn't. BY letting him take it away
you got just as much out of the game
as ball player would whose captain
played his position every time there
was critical stage in the game.
No matter what kind of work you
have, time is coming when it is going
to become suddenly difficult. The i'm
pOrtance of certain task will increase
tremendously owing to unexpected cir
cumstanceS.

Something to Think About
p,,E n1A1KFP
By F. A. DALKER

Not to all is given supreme wisdom
in these matters, but such as Is be-
slowed, Is generally hidden away in a
napkin and ignored or forgotten.
Thus, when a young man or woman
in burst Of passion unlocks the door
to enmity, instead of friendship, to
evil, instead of good, it becomes at
once apparent that use has been made
of the wrong key.
Proper judgment and action, all the
exalted things in life, including faith
fulness, honor and virtue, decline to
show their shining faces to the carriers
Of the improper key.
What the foolish do with keys en-
trusted to them to open the world of
life, makes wise men and women shud-
der
And yet, When all has been said,
when the story of life has been re-
vealed from the morn of the tod
ding infant to the night of tottering
age, who shall say that he or she
has not at some time or another in
his or her folly, used the wrong key?

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
