"The political game is too e.\|iensive.
I guess I won't run. 1 can't
afford to risk the money." These were
the words of a man who suralik from
exposing a hup' slice of his hard
earned competence to the chances of
political defeat. And the expense of
running for office is mounting yearly.
It always has been too limb for the
ordinal*.* p?od but comparatively poor
man to uavipite with safety. s,? that
front time immemorial the political
ambitions have had recourse to j?oliticnl
"organizations" to help them
through., with the expectation that
they would l*? an aid to the organization
when elected. Running for office
is a line job for u very rich man.

EASILY OVERLOOKED
A small item in the papers a few :
I days ago heralded the fact that the
administration's rural credits bill had
been introduced in congress.
It's not a very exciting document.'
It merely has the object of permitting'
needy soil tillers to get loans at less '
interest. To frame it cost a trip to
Kurope by a commission in quest ol
information as to the workings ol
foreign farm credits systems, and (
voluminous reports were made. ,
The president was said to have been ; (
disappointed that the last congress ,
failed to pass rural credits legislation,
which he considered it in duty ,
bound to do alter all the previous
fuss that had been made over the 1 .
propositions, and in view of the fact!,
that the Baltimore platform ex-1 ,
plicitly stated that it was the inten-i .
! tion of the Democratic party to frame
1 1 *
such legislation. ! ,
After three years in office the
president thinks it about time that t
tardy congresmen get to work on the; ,
planks of the pladorm, which, by the I ,
way, also was a plank in the Re-1 ,

The increase in tax levy of Detroit

$0.05; in 1015 it was $10.31. Detroit

TRAINED TO VOTE.
Next to citizenry trained to the us<
of arms, we also need a citizenry
trained to the use of the ballot.
Take the case of Henry Ford, foi
instance. .Mr. Ford has admitted thai
in 31 years, he only voted six times
Mr. Ford has hem a very pool
citizen.
A man that will violate the duties ol
citizenship in such a manner iB nol
entitled to lament at the degneracj
of the times, the rottenness of politics,
the mounting tax rate or the
lispo-ition of people to let a favored
few do their thinking for them.
One of the threatening evils from
within .lie republic is the lack ol
interest manifested through large
sections of the country in the duties
if eiti-.enship /1 every election,
hundreds of thousands of the best
uid mt .itally mo^t i.ble citizens of the
ountry do not take the trouble to
'ote.
Ill Miir 1 'i rem i ti rw hnnHrAila nf
housamls <>f voters do not know the
mine of their congressman or the
listrict in which they live. Politically
hey are stone blind, and go through
..e formalities of citizenship withmt
expending an extra ounce of
hinking power.
They don't care.
In a republic, which depends upon

is well-nigh eriin i al.

"We have never had any other medicine
but Peruna In our home since we
have been married. I suffered with
kidney and bladder trouble, but two
months treatment with Peruna made
me a well and strong man. My wife
felt weak and was easily tired and
was also troubled with various pains,
but since she took Peruna she is well
and strong."
