Though your fierce strength absorb,

"THE PEOPLE REST"


The city campaign is at an end. The of the
people is submitted and the matter before the jury to be
and Anderson feel confident. They have the confidence
which with the consciousness of being right and the
knowledge that RIGHT WILL PREVAIL 1t not possible
that important matter at critical time will be de-
cided in the wrong way.
The Press has regrets concerning the campaign
keep the discussion upon high plane. We have held
firmly to the issues and avoided personalities The only
unhappy part of the campaign has been the Bucklin-
Franklin hotel building and this had 1T aln
of personality The not directed against
A. N Bucklin but against candidate for city trustee
This affair became because revealed the attitude
and the Press has had the testimony of of good c
zens-a large share of them women,-hat this after
all the big thing involved
To follow little further the smile of cause before
court the has really narrowed itself to restrict
ed limits The voters we'll persuaded of what the Press
said in the beginning namely that Simmons is Impossible
Erwin is not being seriously considered The only
question which remains open this closing hour whether
the people prefer Bucklin Fawce One of these to
the city, One of them is to stand before the world
ebodying the things that Ell Centro stands for and
would like to be- One of them to be sort of composite
hopes and ideals and ambitions And Monday the
people decide whether they would choose to have all
of the residents of Ell Centre like A. n Buckn and what
stands for whether should wish to have them like
Will S. Fawcett and what he stands for. When the people
select to represent the that what they are really
doingthey illustrating for the world the type OF man
and the type of public spirit which seems to them the one
to be preferred.
The Citizens party has presented constructive
gram. They have looked the field and chosen the
men known for constructive, progressive ideals for
clean living and high moral standards and they have set
them the their records and on their merits

Graceville (Minn) Enterprise: The
natural supposition when the money
was lent to Europe was that the bonds
and the interest thereon would be taken
care of by the repayment of the loans
1f the foreign borrowers. Now some or
these large manufacturers, exporters, ct
al, finding foreign trade adversely al
feeted by the huge debt owing us ana
its effect upon the rate of exchange,
would have this country cancel ITS pilis
receivable in order that foreign coun-
tries might use, for trade with us, the
money which they already owe us for
value received in the past. What bus
mess man would consider it good policy
to gain new trade byHgiving the buyers
money with which to purchase! We are
certainly not stupid enough to suppose
these "big'' businessmen would con-
slider doing with their own money what
thew so ardentlv advocate being done
with the money of the people.
If ever country entered Il war
with the highest sentiments of altruism
it was the United States in the Great
War. The conflict was far from our
shores and its menace to us was, at the
worst, far distant. We entered the con
flict at critical stage and, while we
will not make any claims as to ''who
won the war; both our allies and orr
enemies know we were in it. We have
asked no indemnities, as have all the
other allied nations. We have not
added to our boundaries one square
inch OF territory while the other ma
lions were partitioning the various
colonial possessions of our late foes.
And, rs if this moderation were not
enough, we are now asked to pay our
selves the money we lent to Europe,
Can the, mind of man conceive Of n
proposition more irreconcilable to jus
tice and equity?

Chef Had Plenty
But He Could
Hardly Eat

Even an expert chef for an up-to-
date restaurant, with everything heart
could wish in the eating line and the
skill to prepare 1t in the most appetiz-
ing manner, finds life miserable and
work a burden with his appetite gone
and his health all broken up on ac-
count of stomach trouble.
According to his own statement,
such had been the case for two years
with William Lackey, S65 North Wells
ST., Chicago, H., chef at a popular
North Clark st. restaurant, who says
he recently found relief by taking
Tanlac.
Mr. Lackey now boasts of "won-
derful appetite and stomach that
digests such things as ham and eggs
corned beef and cabbage and rich pas
tries, foods that would have almost
put me out of commission before
took Tanlac."
Before I ran across this medicine
said he, 81 was having to lay off from
my work for week at time just
on account of the numerous ills suf
fered from Indigestion. But when
tell you l have gained fifteen pounds

Applicants for Insurance Often

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. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. 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, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

Fires Spotted by Forest Air Patrol.

The value of airplane forest patrol
was forcibly demonstrated recently
near Rosehurg, Ore. One of the state
foresters in that city had received re-
ports from the lookouts in his territory
that there were no fires to be seen. 1t
happened that just at that particular
time he decided to accompany one of
the army air service pilots engaged in
patrOling the Oregon forests. He had
not proceeded very far on his aerial
journey before he realized that the re-
ports he had received from his look
outs were not as reliable as he was
led to believe. To his great consterna-
ton he discovered that he had no less
than II real fires on his hands which
no one knew anything about. Need
less to say the state forester is now
converted to aerial forestry patrol
