Tns importance of coal, cot only as
necessity for individual comfort but also
as an indispensable factor in industrial
enterprises, has been recently brought to
the attention of the American people in
a way that ia convincing, if unpleasant.
Coincident with this lesson are the fig
ores of the geological survey, which show
that the United States, under normal
conditions, has outstripped even Great
Britain a a coal producer, and that it
furnishes approximately one-third of all
the coal annually dug ont of the mine
throughout the world. This, of course,
included both the anthracite and bitu
minous varieties, and it constitutes an
other striking proof oi the marked devel
opment of its resources which this coun

Lewis and Clark fair should be left to a
vote of the people. Some of the indivi
duals connected with the management j joneg am
of the exposition are opposed to the
question being submitted to a vote of
the people, or in other words, permit
ting our late constitutional amendment,
the initiative and referendum, taking its
course in the premises. The fair people
want nothing less than half a million
dollars appropriated by the state. If the
question is worthy of any consideration
at all, it deserves to be fully and freely
discussed, and should be left with the
people for their approval or otherwise,
as the case may be. If the purpose of
the initiative and referendum is to allow
the people to express their sentiments,
the exposition management should not
oppose the proposal to submit the mat
ter to a conservative, intelligent, patri
otic constituency, so that the amount
given would be spontaneous and a free
gift by those who will have the burden
to shoulder.

What to Do.
There Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain In passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
