Ill YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK ? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.

BOW DOWN TO DICTATES OF “IDOL” ROOSEVELT. Roosevelt “Wishes and Asks” for a Congress that Will Back Him Up In His Wild Schemes. Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.—It is said, though on rather dubious au thority, that the dubious cackling of geese oncp saved the Roman repub lic. Whether or not this he one of the myths of history, all the signs of the times indicate that, something equally empty and equally meaning less bids fair to ruin the republic of Washington. 1 refer to the babbling of the office holders under the pres ent administration, who now are out ir force burning incense on tne altar of their “Idol.” that impecable statesman and puissant hero, the maintenance of whose popularity alone can insure them against the loss of offices and emoluments. The “Idol” himself has told the world that the late session of congress was an ex cellent body of legislators, and. on the whole was satisfactory to him; and therefore lie honors it with the stamp of his priceless approval. Now that the people are about to perform their high constitutional duty of choosing a successor to the lower branch of that presidentially-approved body and the legislatures of the States which will fill all vacancies in its upper branches, including members of the cabinet, generously and disin terestedly, “per chance,” to instruct and guide the voters in the exercise of their dearest rights, “the right by which we exist a free people,” as Ham ilton with his accustomed force and felicity of expression defines it. And how do these alleged unselfish office holders enter upon the discharge of their important, responsible and self imposed duties of teachers and guides? Do they call the attention, of the people to the record made by the members of the late session of the house of representatives who are ask ing for the people's endorsement by a re-election, and of that great body of senators whose terms of office are about to expire? No! those consid erations are the very last arguments they would think of using as remind ers of the insulted and betrayed people whose votes they are after. Wliat then do they ask of an intelligent elec torate? I best can answer that Quest ion by quoting from Secretary of Navy Bonaparte, who, though he has not yet taken the stump, like Taft and Shaw, evidently is jealous of those flunkies, therefore sounds his “keynote” of the campaign in an interview. I now quote Mr. Bonaparte as follows; “I am ready to accept approval or disapproval of tin* president as the is sue for this autumn’s campaign. The r^a) question which the American people must answer at the polls in November is; Will we give the pres ident a house of representatives to hack him up in ills work, or one that will thwart him in his work? In brief, will give him the; congress ho wishes and asks for. or a congress as nearly as may lie the opposite of what he wishes and asks for?” When two strong men come to blows, even if they are well matched, it is not a pleasing sight, hut if the man who gets the worst of it will use DeWitt’o Witch Hazel Salve, he will look better and feel better in short order.

It’s a case of unspeakable misery when a woman has no one to talk to. Feel Swollen to Immense Size. “I had kidney trouble so had that I could not work.” says J. J. Cox, of Valley View, Ky., “my feet were swol len to immense size and I was con fined to my bed and physicians were unable to give me anv relief. My doctor prescribed Foley’s Kidney Cure, which made a well man of me.” Sold by Cherokee Drug Co. Note the expression—“Give him ths congress lie wishes and asks for.” When in the history of this nation was the parallel of this effrontery and usurpation seen? The congress, that body which especially represents the people, chosen by them from their own ranks at short intervals of two years, in order that it; may breathe the spirit of popular will, and hear to the nations capital the demands of the people as to national legislation, is to he chosen not as the peonle will, not to utter their thought or repre sent. their ideas, hut to he selected in accordance with the wishes of and in order that it may he subservient to tin* executive. Its members to he chosen not because of fitness or ca pacity or because they reflect popular sentiment and ideas, hut because of a willingness to wear an administra tion collar and to do the administra tion’s bidding. For a congress of the people’s choos ing and one that the people want, there is to he substituted a congress of the executive, “the congress lie wishes and asks for.” If. in a matter so important as that of the destruction of the basic prin ciple of our constitution. I might ven ture to suggest to this unblushing svro‘bant, | would sav tbit there Is a ^ore comnendlous method than the one he advocates by which the execu tive and legislative departments of our government may be conso idated Sunoose we let the “nopular Idol” per sonaliy name our representatives, anu thus save the tedious work and large expense w’hich nominations and elect ions by the people involve. I would suggest as a still better plan the elimination altogether of the legisla tive department but for the instances disclosed during the late session of congress, in which the “Idol” severely criticised certain bills which yet were before that body and with which therefore lie had no constitutional right, or authority to concern himself, because of their containing o?- lack ing certain provisions, and when the most casual reading of the aforesaid bills would have made it clear to any layman, that the alleged defect upon which his criticisms were based had ii" existence, with this usurner and critic at the the helm, to dispense with the forms and usages of a con gress. So grave a subject as this really requires more serious treatment. 1 have likened this babbling of the sy- conhants of this administration about “the issue is Roosevelt,” at every re curring period when voters are called upon to record their judgment at the ballot box to the cackling of geese; hut the thoughtful citzen will perceive therein, as I have intimated, some thing to make the judicious grieve as well as to cause the unthinking to laugh. What would he the natural, inevitable consequences of this blind, head-long following of .a ‘popular Idol" recommended by th"se shameless parasites? What would be the upshot of this abject spirit of hero worship which they with foreheads of brass, have the assurance to commend to the proud, high spirited, self centered, in dependent thinking American people? A spirit always and everywhere inim ical to liberty, and on that account always and everywhere to he prompt ly rebuked by the people, but in a pop ular government constituting the most deadly of perils? And not only in its effects Ih it the most deadly of perils in a republic but in spite of every precaution of the judicious states man, a peril to which popular gov ernments peculiarly are prone. No lesson is more solemnly enforced by the accordant judgment of all history than this. Now, without regard to partisan con siderations or personal partiality and prejudices, what, is at this present time the most important, the most exigent duty of true patriots? To my mind this duty is plain enough. It is to elect a house of representatives that will represent them, the people, and not a ursurpian executive whose minions and bootlicks tell the people they must blindly follow a man who asks and demands a house of repre sentatives that will do his hlddin 0, and follow blindly his ipse dixit. Will these patriots be in a majority? The first, the conclusive proof will he fur nished by the results of the balloting at the pending election for members of the house of representatives on No vember fith. Unless 1 grievously mis take the present temper of the great mass of American freemen, they intend to apply the soverign remedy next November. All matters of difference with their despoilers, who so long have insidiously interposed between them and th«*ir government cannot he adjusted at that election. But I be lieve that the most important one— the one put squarely in issue by the llunkios of the present administration —will he. 1 have a belief amounting to a conviction that from the verdict which will then ho recorded, he who runs may read that the American peo- "1" regard tin; congress of the United States as their congress; that they hold it responsible to them and to them alone. That upon the manner upo-> which it discharges the sacred trust by them confided to it, they, and they alone, are to pronounce iudg- men\ That any judgment or judg meats not in full accord with their own ttre ‘trifles light as air." and not to be taken into account no matter by whom given. The American people desire their chief executive to confim himself within his constitutional protr ince and authority and not constantly to he meddling and lobbying with a distinct and co-ordinate department of their government, on the insulting plea that unless he thus is unconstl- tuionally supreme, tliit denartiment will prove so recreant to its duty to its master, the people, as to possibly necessitate the (to his shrinking mod esty distasteful) alternative of a re- election in order that the spiritless and helpless people may obtain the just laws they are demanding, but vhich have been denied to their igno ance and feebl°ness. In short, gentlemen of the country, ’on are up against a proposition that he “hero of the round earth.” one loosevelt, either must have “the con- 'ress he wishes.” a Republican house of representatives which will continue to serve the trusts, combines and tandpatter^ of this country or else he, your hero, will refuse to serve you onger. It’s up to you. What will you do about it? Thp people generally of this country are just now wondering why the trou ble in Cuba arose and why the presi dent of tiie United States was so quick to rush in and again play the part of mediator between peoples who are at enmity. 1 believe I know the reason why all this trouble came about and why the president now is sending en voys of peace to this troubled island. It will be noticed that one Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of State, is on" of the envoys. Do you know who Bacon is? He is a junior partner in the firm of J. Pier’^nt Morgan and Company, of New York, which is the controlling factor in Roosevelt’s ad ministration. He took Mr. Bacon out of that office at the dictate of Morgan and placed him in a position where he could best subserve the interests of his banking house. Morgan and his interests knew that, sooner or later this trouble must com« in Cuba be cause they were pressing the honest old president of that young renublic for certain concessions that, he in his honesty refused to concede to them. They then fomented this strife and now have sent their own agent there to patch up a peace which will lie at the expense of the people of Cuba or put President Palma out of office. When Bacon returns here he will have in his pocket the concessions that Morgan demands or President’s Pal ma’s scalp. They then will put in | office hacked by the soldiers and sail ors of America their own pliant tool, or else take over the island. That is the game that Roosevelt is playing for the benefit of the captains of finance while the people look on and applaud him as a pacificator and a peace lov ing president. The gullibility of the public of this country is proverbal but oh, heavens, how it now is being fooled by tills actor in the white house. How long, oh Lord, how long? Chas. A. Edwards. The Consolable Widow. (London Telegraph.) Widows in Paris appear to lie about ten times more easily consolable than widowers. Out of 1.907 derelict ladies on whom staisticians keep an eye af ter their husbands’ demise only three were left still alone and mourning after eighteen months had passed by. Out of 2,270 widowers thirty-seven re mained unconsoled or had had enough in one go at the lottery. One him- died and forty-eight had not the grace to wait until the year was out to re marry; (>28 did wait a year, hut took second wives immediately afterwards. All those who married again had done it before three years had gone by. Ap parently if a widower can wait three years he is safe and falls into the mi nority, which in this case was thirty- seven of those for whom once is enough. After divorce, on the contrary, the ladies are much more shy than the men about entering the bonds again. Out of 717 women whose marriages had been dissolved, seventy-nine still shrank from trying the experiment ■again after nine years had elapsed- Out of 059 men. 109 married imme diately atfer the decree became abso lute. All those who did done so with in two years from their divorce. New York Women and Pins. (Pittsburg Dispatch.) “One reason why New York women are the neatest in the world,” said the buyer for a Pittsburg notion dry goods house, "is the fact. Miat they use few est pins. Apparently buttons, hooks- and-eyes and tape perform the job of fastening their garments pretty thor oughly. Strange to say, it is in Bos ton that, the pin trade flourishes most abundantly. Women buy more pins there, according to the population, than in any other city in the country. That habit does not sp<*ak well for Boston. The pin habit is inimical to tidiness. That is the reason that New York women are so spick and span— they use few pins. They have not, to be sure, reached the state of excel lence attained by the Chinese, who ta boo pins altogether, hut they are nearer that standard than any other community.” A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his dreams.—Russian Proverb. A WILDERNESS OF TREES. Inaccessible Forests That Abound in Guatemala. (Now York Herald.) Nearly all of the northern and eastern part of Gautemala is covered with a dense tropical forest, consistintr of mahogany, different kinds of cedar, chicle and other hard woods. Along streams down which ogs can be float ed much of the mahogany ha_s been cut. but as yet ver / little of the other woods have been marketed. This is especially true of the departments of Peten, Alta Verapaz and Izabal. Most of the forests still belong to the government, and the usual meth od of securing the timber is by con cession, by which a certain number of trees are cut at -a given price per tree, or a stipulated sum is paid for the timber on a given tract. It is not an easy matter to get titles to large tracts of land in Gautemala. as it i* discouraged by the government. These concessions are not usually granted for a longer period than five years. Sometimes it is stipulated that, is a certain number of trees are cut during that tim ■ they must, he renewed. The pine forests no limited, being in the mountainous country princi pally and inaccessible. .Most of the lumber used comes from the United States, principally from California. The for'sts of this country are gener ally so tnaccesible that the railroad companies import nearly all of their tie - and even import coal, because it is difficult for them to get enough fire wood.

When the first breath of spring be- <r ins to open the buds on the trees and the blue bird calls to bis mate, the bill poster comes forth front his winter haunts, ti e flaming posters tell us that the circus is coming again, and then, if w f e are trying to master the multiplication table, with Haring hills all covered with daring gymnasts and bespangled beauties on prancing horses calling to ns through the school house window front across the street, or perchance w r e are trying to guess the future on mess pork, it is all the same, it awakens an interest that can only be satisfied when we have paid the admission fee and are awailr ing with expectation as each act is Ushered into til- sawdust arena.

How the Japanese Fooled the Fakir. (London Telegraph.) The street fakir who was selling cement near the steps of the court house, stood behind a little table upon w-hich was conspicuously dis played the sign; “A box of cement given to anybody who can break any of these apart.” There were spools, blocks of wood and other articles that, had beep ce mented together and most of them bore marks of having been struggled with by persons with grimy hands in vain attempts to wrench them apart. A swarthy little fellow who had stopped in front of the fakir’s stand pointed to a round peg that, appeared to have been dipped in the cement;ind driven into a good sized chunk of wood, and asked him what would he the reward for pulling it out. “If you can pull that out.” said the neddler, “I’ll give you a silver dol lar.” The peg projected a little more than a quarter of an inch above the block. The swarthy little fellow placed his left hand on the block to hold it down, took the peg between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand and pulled it out with apparent ease, a portion of the wood coming away with it. "Great Scott!” gasped the man be hind the table. "What are you?” “Me Japanese dentist,” replied the little fellow, pocketing the silver dol lar and walking away with a grin on his face.
