TAFT DECLARES HIMSELF.
Although the telegraphic reports!
were brief, it is evtdent that Presi
dent Taft made no unequivocal state
ment as to his position la regard to
the tariff legislation now being enact
i d by congress at his speech at Yale
Wednesday evening.
Taft stated that the people wanted
the present tariff schedules revised
downward and that if the Republican
party failed to do this it must stand
the consequences. After making a
declaration of this ? nature, which in
tffect is a warning to the Senate, if
the Payne bill schedules are not radi
cally reduced it is difficult to see how
Taft can avoid exercising his power
o' veto.
The Republican platform promised
revision ? true the word downward re
vision was not used, but every cam
paign orator from the President to
? he humblest spell-binder told the
people that down-ward revision was
intended. Then in the face of this
Senator Aldrich and his allied baud
of protectionists had the supreme
audacity to state on the floor of the
Senate that the Republican party was j
not pledged to reduce the present
schedules.
All over the country a storm of
protest arose, but Aldrich and his as
sociates don't care what the peopb
think ? the wishes of the "Interests"
are what most concern them ? and
:hey stood pat and kept boosting the
schedules.
Now that Taft has declared him
self. however, a different phase is
r.ut on the situation. Congress can
hardly pass the present tariff bill over
the veto of the President ? and it's
up to Taft to use his veto unless
there are sweeping reductions in the
present schedules.
SOLONS AT OTTAWA.
There was a time, since Canada
was young, when statesmen owned
to more of brains than tongue; when
great men. filled with sense of duty,
went, to serve the people In the
|?arliaiuent. Men of large mculd, in
wit and wisdom great, sok-mn of
a ien. majestic in debate. Gone are
those giants of the council hall, and
where they spoke, their loud succes
sors bawl; fury and sound, the clang
o* hollow brass, wrangle and noise ?
these things have come to pass,
liabel is what most statesmen repre
sent, in the late days of this our
parliament. Ah, for the days when
luind surmounted lung ? days we have
known, since Canada was young!
? Walt Mason.
The merchants and business men
in the central part of town should
see that their places of business are
well decorated in preparation for the
celebration of tomorrow.
Say not unto thy neighbor. Go, and
come again, and tomorrow I will give;
when thou hast It by thee ? Proverbs.
Chapter 3-28.
If you have a grouch forget it and
don a glad smile tomorrow and mak?

are as welcome as the flowers in May

WHAT THE -KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All tlie blood la the body passes
through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nlgt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 gralus
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This briugs
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, otc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yeeler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief 1 obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though 1 used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's vldney
Fills holped me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
! great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
