. Doan's Kidney Pills cure such ills.
Mrs. Mary Dumgardner, of 424 Water

found Doan's Kidney Pills a remedy that
is worthy of all confidence and am pleas
ed to endorse them so that other suf
fered from kidney complaint may know
how to get relief. I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and several members of our
family have used them with the most
gratifying mults. I took them myself
for a tired aching back and a dragging
down feeling that comes from irregular
and deranged kidneys. The results were
of the best. The aching and soreness
was banished and the kidneys were ren
dered normal. My health became better
in every way."

LONGWORTHS FIND EUROPEANS
EXTREMELY FRIENDLY TO THIS
COUNTRY REGARD AMERICANS
WITH OPEN ADMIRATION.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. Discussing his
European trip, while in town yesterday,
Congressman Nicholas Longworth said
I did not find any of the anti-American
sentiment, which some notable Ameri
cans nave recently discovered on the
other side. On the contrary I found
everyone extremely friendly to this
country. Wherever we went we found
only the profoundest respect and ad
miration for this country and every
thing American. Industrially, they re
gard us as phenomenal, and politically
and socially tbey have nothing but re
spect Our prosperity and capacity for
development are amazing to Europeans.
The beef exposures created a sensation
in tnciand and lor a time there was
much talk concerning them. But grad
ually the feeling of resentment died out
and I do not think the incident will
have any lasting effect on the American
beef business. In Germany and France
I heard practically nothing about the
exposures, lbe matter was commented
on in the House of Commons and the
government , was asked to what use in
the array the American beef was put
There was much hysterical sentiment
but it calmed down after the action
taken by Congress. The belief there
is that the evils could and would be
remedied by publicity."
NEW FACTOR IN POLITICS.
(Continued from page 1)
twice carried Lira to defeat; yet state
conventions all over the country ar.i
nailing hi ma the leader of the demo
cracy and as democracy's choice for
president.
And it would seem that William IIow
ard Taft also i of this school. Perhaps
by defying the labor unions he ha
blasted his chances of attaining the
presidency; but if he believes he U
right, as undoubtedly he believes he is,
he will retain his own respect and the
respect of all other right-thinking men.
even those, and there are thousands such,
who belong to the labor unions.
Littlefield is Respected.
While we are on the subject it perhaps
would not be amiss to take a look at
this man Littlefield, whom the labor
unions are trying to defeat. The unions
have a just grievance against him, there
isn't any doubt of that. He fought the
measures they counted so essential to
their welfare, and fought them hard.
Vet Littlefield lias the respect of these
labor leader who are trying to unseat
him. Why? Because he fought them in
a straightforward, manly way. Little
field bits hard, and when he is in action
there is something about his personality
that is very irritating, that makes you
want to swear or get up and heave u
brick at him. But no one ever accuse!
Littlefield of striking an unfair blow. No
one ever accused him of having a motive
for a public course other than his con
viction of right and wrong.
Littlefield began life as a stonecutter.
He polished stones, but took little of
the polish to himself. He is rough and
angular and the sharp corners stick out
ajl over him. When other men brush
against these corners they get mad and
say things; but Littlefield doesn't care.
He is able ,of that there is no doubt.
When- be came to Congress a brilliant
sareer was predicted for him. It has
been brilliant in a way, but his speech
is too blunt arid his honesty too militant
for marked success in the House of Rep
resentatives, as now constituted.
Littlefield, .too, it ..lyould seem, belong
to this new school of politics. A great
majority 'of uie members of the House
of Representatives do not. It is not
necessary to say more. .

point of view.
' '"The city charter and ordinance pro
vide that each requisition must state
the 'price of the article or property for
which such requisition is desired,' but,
the requisition for this steam roller fails
to mention any price; had the price of
1.100 been given in that requisition, the
roller would never have lieen purchased
by the committee..'
"U is further provided that no pur
chase be made without a special ordi
nance, if the price of such purchase ex
ceeds the sum of $100 and this roller
DOES cost more than 100.
"Xext, though the charter doe not
specifically say so, it is sound business
policy and a moral obligation we owe
the people, to advertise for bids, when
ever anything of greater value than
$100 is wanted.

they are entitled to much credit, but
they need not feel slighted if this one
act be not endorsed; the best men, in
deed ALL men do make mistakes; 'to
err is human; to correct is prudent.'
"It is the great men who are not
ashamed to rectify an error; the people
whom we serve are more likely to ap
prove the correction of a mistake, than
the legalizing of an error.
"The fact that we sometimes differ
should arouse no hostility- we should
be considered unfit to hold liigh posi

for the sake of harmony; I for one will
not pay such a price, for future peace.
"If we do differ, let it be as FRIENDS,

gives him light to see the right; the
veto is not an unfriendly act, as some
imagine; the constitution of the United
States and of every state in the Union,
ag well as the charters of all cities
provide for the veto and why! because
in all ages, in every clime, mankind has
been prone to err, and recognizing this
fact, the best brains the world over,
have provided that government be sub
divided into three branches, the legisla
tive, the executive and the judicial.
"The legislative branch enacts ordi
nances; but, men will sometimes, on
the spur of the moment, vote for meas
ures seemingly right; but, lo, in a few
days, that which seemed so good, shows
defects which the most careful could
not foresee, for that reason, the execu

liberation, so that when it seems neces

slight but as a correction; and even
then, should both, the legislative and the
executive parts have erred, the taxpayer
has still further redress, through an
appeal to the judiciary, the last of the
three great balance wheels of popular
government.
