POOR ABS RUEJP
Who la there today who has not pity
for poor, broken Abe Ruef? What man
it there, be hie avocation ever so hem
ble and the recumeration for his daily
toil ever so slender, who envies this
criminal-confessed ex-boss his ill-got
ten Hundreds of thousand*? Was there
ever a more complete demonstration of
truth of the scriptural precept that
"The wages of sin Is death" than is af
forded in the humiliating and disgrace
ful termination of that unholy alliance
between union labor and vice and crime
in San Francisco?
But, after all, there is a silver lining
to the San Francisco cloud. The same
ficts, the dlscloeiog of which is drag
ging Abe Ruef and his fiddling mayor
and weaKling supervisors down to the
depths of a living hell, are destroying
the powe.- of the Southern Pacific and
the publio service corporations, who
were the bribe givers. That
will make it poeaible for the decent self
respecting people of the city, including
the buslnes men, laboring men. prof
fessloual men, rich and poor, to orga
nise a government in which there will
be some semblance of honor and capaci

former senator Smith, of New Jersey
recently said, "if the politicians do not j
want to work wit l the people they had
better retire from politics for a while,
at least."
When President hooeevelt appointed
former Senator J. C. S Blackburn, of
Kentucky, governor of the Panama
canal z -ne and member of the canai
commission at a salary of $14,000 a year,
he again shows how little be regards
the old custom of giving the "plums"
to the men who have done valiant ser
vice for the political party of which the
appointing power is a member. Sen
ator Blackburn has been vtry strongly
partisan in his day, and always la oppo

ident Roosevelt climrd to fame.

When a healthy man or woman be
gins io run down without apparent
raus?, becom-s ->e?k,l tnguid, depressed
suffers backache, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the kidnevs
for ihe cause of it all. Keep the kidneys
well and they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well.
Jas. Vandervere, motorman O. E. Rv-,
living on Central St., corner Second St.,
Olympia, Wash., says: "Just about
two years ago, I learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was troubled a great
deal with backache at tbe lme. At in
tervals, the pain was severe and at
other times, a steady dull aching.
Whether it was my work or colds or
both that caused the derangement, I do
not know, but what I do know, is that
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved
and eradicated the complaint, stopped
the aching completely and strengthened
my back so that I could lift, stoop or
biing any of the back muscles Into play
without tbe slightest twinge. I consider
Doan's Kidney Pills unsurpassable.''
