Are You Suffering on Piles?
IF PILES DRIVE YOU MAD
About one person out of five suffers from some disease or
other of the large intestine. Many of them suffer acu:e
pain for years and are in misery because of piles and are
satisfied to secure occasional relief by using some remedy or
other. But these remedies do not help. For those who suf
fer from piles, time is too costly to waste experimenting
with untimely methods. A tried and proven method of cur
ing piles, fistula, itching piles, fissure, abscesses, abdominal
wounds and constipation is the use of

“DYNAMITE”
The following quotation i
from the pen of Mr. Adamh
author of “Dynamite” and i
!good doctrine for any citizen:
r “I believe that a long-range
> honest-to-goodness radical mov
ment in this country is impos
sible. I believe that you are al
wet in considering the averag<
American working stiff as anec,
nomic unit who functions con
sistently as such. I think thal
the average American, which in
cludes the working stiff, is a Re
j publican, Democrat, Methodist
dry or wet, anti-Catholic, Elk
Mason, Moose, or Knight of Co
lumbus, before he is an econom
ic unit. His economic ups and
downs are incidental; he wor
ries about them only from mo
ment to moment. This is part of
his democratic, racketeering psy
chology. The entire scheme of
our national existence is against
a constructive, well-planned ra
dical movement; a thoro revolu
tion is impossible.”
However, the brain center of
most Americans, laborers and
small business man is the belly.
When the pangs become hurt
ful they become fine subjects for
radical movements. Those are
the ones who need watching.
With six million unemployed in
the United States alone, it is
estimated that 30,000,000 are in
immediate need of the common;
necessities of life. When the j
proportion grows too great, it!
3ver-balances any conservative ■
government. Hence the powers
that be in America’s invisible
government needs to be mighty
vatchful of its step in the next
several months while the eco
lomic distress rocks the Ship of
State.

THE BOOM-A-RANG
The last Legislature passed
the Rotative Ballot with the sole
purpose of eliminating the In
dian vote of the First Division
“Piggy” Pegues of the Empire
stated not long since that he be -
lieved that the Indian vote was
cut down to one-third its usual
strength. We assert that he was!
wrong. It was cut in half—and'
more in the Westward country
where Kodiak holds the balance
of power in the Third Division.
During the Marquam cam
paign, in one precinct over 40
Aleutes were told to mark on a
; certain place as that was a voce
__ to secure a new schoolhouse. The
“certain spot” was for Marquam.
And in following elections, the
renegade United States Commis
i sioner Stowe and a shyster law
yer saw to it that the Indian
: vote was used by the Democratic
■ party. Thank YOU “Piggy” for
i furnishing a knife to use on your
r Indian vote in the Third Divi
sion.
-x
DID YOU EVER ASK
How much certain influential
s|men were paid during the last
i '• election to divide the Indian
t; vote in the First Division? The
-1 powers that be have some sense
i of shame when they are twitted
f with their dirty vote buying at
i tempts. More of this will be
i shown later, especially when the
vote is being garneied in tK
s! Westward Divisions.
