Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
' 1 that it is not uncommon
u for a child to be born
Hr 1 afflicted with weak kid-
|j=_* neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afilicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Old Man Palma Is Honest and Does
Not Understand the Tricks of the
Financeers.
Washington, I). C., Oct. 2.—The
latest news from Cuba will indicate
hat I had uttered a prophesy when 1
said in mv letter last week that Roosg'
velt was sending Taft and Bacon to
Cuba for the purpose of getting rid
of poor old Man Palma and his ad
ministration. That is exactly what
they are doing and I knew whereof
I spoke when I made the assertion.
Palma is only a poor old honest
school teacher who does not Tinder
and nor appreciate the tricks of the
captains of finance. When J, Pier-
pont Morgan and his crowd of finan
cial freebooters demanded certain
railroad concessions of him he refus
ed to grant them. There is no doubt
in the minds of the people who are on
o their jobs that. Morgan and his
gang are responsible for the strife in
Cuba by fomenting discontent with
Palma’s administration among the
rabble, excited them to the point of
rebellion and furnished them the
arms with which to fight. When the
crisis came what more natural thing
could happen than that Roosevelt,
acting under the Platt amendment,
should step in as mediator and send
as one of the peaeo envoys a junior
member of the firm of J. Plerpont
Morgan and company in the person of
Mr. Robert Bacon, assistant secretary
of State. They have gone there and
bull dozed and brow-beat poor qM Pal
ma until self-respect forces him and
his cabinet to resign rather than trejit
with a vulgar rabble in arms. Taft
and Bacon have placed the terms of
compromise, that President Palma
must accept. In such shape that he
can not accept them and retain his
self-respect. They also have coupled
it with a threat that unless he does
so the United States will invade the
Island in the alleged interests of
peace and tranquility but really for
the purpose of annexation. Whether
or not Palma abdicates or we annex
Cuba as a part of this union, J. Pier-
pont Morgan and company will have
gained their ends because they can
get anything they desire in the shape
of a concession from this administra
tion. Watch the game played to the
conclusion and if you have the slight
est adumbration of intellect you will
note that Instead of being a peace
maker and a reformer Mr. Roosevelt
Is a usurper and a panderer to the
pluderbund of New York.
The outlook for the Democrats carry
ing the House of Representatives pn
November 6 next is good. When we
started out in this campaign nobody
expected us to win the House and it
looked like a herculean task to over
come this majority. 1 am not claim
lug it now but I do say that the pros
pects look good, not only to wipe it
out but leave a safe, working Demo
cratic majority In Its stead. It looks
to me very much as though the peo
ple of this country were coming to
their senses concerning Roosevelt,
that they want a change and Intend
to evince their desire by electing a
Democratic House of Representa
tives. The people know that some
thing Is wrong but they don’t exacth'
know where to place the blame. I
can tell them honestly that the bug
under the chip, the negro ip the wood
pile is tills Roosevelt administration.
If they will get that safely lodged in
their heads they will swat this ad
ministration one awful swat on No
vember <'• by electing a Democratic
House. Thev could not hit Roosevelt
a harder lick than to do just that
very thing. He knows what a Demo
cratic House means for him and his
administration. It means investlga
ting committees, digging and nosing
into every department and men on
those committees who will investi
gate and go to the bottom of every
rotten transaction, no matter how
loud It may smell It is that which
frights the souls of our Republican
adversaries. Congressman Jim Sher
man, of New York, chairman of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
in a newspaper interview some time
ago concedes that they will lose forty
seats in the next House. We only
need fifty-eight seats to win the
House and if the landslide toward
Democracy means a loss of forty
seats to them, why should thev as
sume that It will stop there and not
continue to a finish? Wo are hearing
good reports from almost every State
and section of this country which in
dicate that the people are ripe for re
volt and want a change that leans
more toward equality under the law
and the chance for a poor man. 1
am not setting myself up as a prophet,
hut In the last four years I have fore
casted many political events in this
letter, and each and every one has ar
rived on schedule time Find justified
and corroborated my statements. The
nomination of Mr. Hearst for govern
<>r in New York by the Democrats of
that State is a straw showing which
wav the wind blows. He was nomi
nated over the protests of the plunder-
bund, the practical politicians and the
ward heelers. He was supported for
the nomination by men who hate hi' n
personally as cordially as they hate
the devil. The reason they supported
him was not that they loved him but
they feared the wrath of the people.
When a man can be nominated in
such circumstances it means that the
people are doing some thinking and
are taking matters into their own
hands. It shows that the political
boss is a hack number and has been
and that, the people have come into
their own. When men like Charles
F. Murphy and W. Bourke Cockran
are compelled to walk with bowed
heads underneath Hearst’s banner of
the people It shows that they know
when to come In out of the rain. In
stead of nominating Mr. Hearst they
would have preferred to see his throat
cut, but thev knew better than to re
fuse the voice of the people. This Is
why I say that the people are doing
business this fall and that I believe
the next house will be Democratic.
Referring to the submarine boat,
the one cry of the armor plate- trust
and the shipbuilding interests con
cern^ ’ in the building of $12,000,000
battleships have been that the under
water destroyers were dangerous to
themselves in ease of accident.
The following clipping from the
London Mail of a recent Issue referr
ing to the grounding of one of the
British submarines (which are of the
same type as those adopted by our
navy) shows that the submarine can
take care of herself in danger, quite
as well if not better than larger and
expensive ships;
"While the submarine A0 and tor
pedo boat No. 52 were engaged in
manoeuvers in Shanklin Ray. off the
Isle of Wight, yesterday, the vessels,
after passing close to the pier, togk
a wide sweep, and the submarine
grounded on the dangerous reef of
rocks known as Shanklin ledge, which
lies about 150 yards to the south of
the pier.
“The crew immediately made ef
forts to refloat the vessel by means
of her own engines, and the water
tanks, ’which are always kept full to
keep the vessel balanced, were emp
tied. but AG stuck fast.
"The torpedo boat and tender came
to the rescue, and towing efforts were
made, but all to no purpose. The
tide being on the ebb it was decided
to abandon further attempts until the
afternoon,
“In the meantime the hay was alive
with swarms of little craft, the occu
pant^ of which were anxious to ob
tain a glimpse of the vessel, which
lay so firmly on the rocks. The crew
a-'reared in no wav concerned, at the
predicament in which they had been
placed, and took advantage of the op
portunity when the tide had recede.d
to clean down the sides of the vessel.
“Shortly after three o’clock the
work of refloating commenced, there
being a hugh crowd on the promenade,
the pier, and the cliffs eagerly watch
ing the operations. The first attemnt
was made with the aid of the subma
rine’s tender, a rope hawser being
fastened fore and aft. The tender
struggled bravely for a few seconds,
and then submarine AC glided into
deep water amid cheers from th«
occupants of the large fleet of pleas
ure craft that had gathered In the
vicinity.
“On her arrival at Portsmouth an
examination was made, and showed

STRANGER GIVEN CHILD.
Babe Left by Parents on Train
No. 35.
Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 2.—An un
known child apparently about four
months old was left on train No. 35
by two women and a man who left the
train at High Point last night. The
child was given to a man on the train
by one of the women, who asked the
man to hold it while she went to the
car door. The man waited for some
time and as the woman did not return
in that time he came to the conclus
ion that the child had been b-ft on
his hands and started to investigate.
He left the train and spent tho night
in the city of High Point trying to
locate the women and man who left
the train togeth- r.
A young couple on their way to
Alabama volunteered to take the
child and after a fair purse was made
uc they went on with their adopted
baby and the last of the strange oc
currence was reached. Where the
father and mother of the child came
from and where they went could not
be burned. The father and mother
were not noticed especially, but those
who remembered them sav the/ were
w< |1 dressed and seemed to have been
of a race too good to cast a child
upon tlie world. The iron-gray haired j
hero who had appealed for help was |
cheered for the part he pla-ed and

babe if they would keep him posted
