Politics Take Stage.

With the congressional and state
campaigns about to open, political
topics are more and more engross-
ing the attention of the country
newspapers. Editors frankly adj
NIT that conditions are changing
very rapidly and that the recent
progressive successes are of IN
tense interest Comment is less
partisan than usual and editors of
both parties are free in their dec
laration that party lines may be
found to mean very little when the
campaigns get well under way.
"A new wave of progressiVism
is beating against the Notifications
of the old guard not unlike that
led by Theodore Roosevelt in
1872" suggests the Portland Jour
nal Und.). Not since that ire
mendous year have the bourbon
leaders of Republicanism, the Wat
sons, the Lodges, the News and
the Brandegees, felt the founda-
tons of their fortresSes so shaken
by the storms rolling over a dis
satisfied country. 1t is a splendid
omen for America. The people
are thinking of themselves and vOt-
ing for themselves, their homes
and their welfare, not for big bus
mess"
The Knoxville Sentinel (Dem-)
is convinced from the result in
Iowa that Clyde l. Herring, the
Democratic opponent of Colonel
Broolzhart, will make a strong run

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 chat
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
tonlshing statement that one reaAn why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
lected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish

said so, none too covertly. that very
