ADMISSION OF ERROR
Significant Action of Republican
National Committee.
Call for Next Convention Is to Be
on New and Proper Basis—Moral
Sense of Nation Has
Compelled It.
According to an announcement made
by Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the
Republican national committee, the
call for the Republican national con-
vention of 1916 will be upon the new
Practically the entire loss falls, upon
‘southern states which cast compara-
tively few Republican votes in nation-
al elections. Chairman Hilles also
says that the new plan will eliminate
conflicts between the rules of the
party and the laws of several states.
The course of political history in
the United States would have been
different had the reforms now put into
effect been accomplished earlier. The
split in the Republican party in 1912
doubtless would have been avoided.
The settling of contests in such a
way as to override the laws of states
in which delegates had been chosen
in accordance with legal primaries
constituted ‘one of the most serious
grievances of the bolters in the nation-
al convention of 1912. Steam roller
methods and domination of the con-
vention with the help of boss con-
trolled delegates from southern states
representing small Republican constit-
uencies were other causes of dissat-
isfaction.
Regardless of their disclaimers, the
present action of the ‘managing au-
thorities of the Republican party is
a practical admission of their errors
in 1912. The moral sense of the na-
tion was outraged by the tactics of
the men in control of the convention,
and the creation of a mew party was
the outcome.
Modification of procedure and reduc-
tion of southern representation in fu-
ture Republican national conventions
are important steps in the movement
for the reuniting of Republicans and
Progressives. It would have been bet-
ter, however, had the announcement
come earlier. It would be well also
if the Republican leaders would give
other indications of their realization
of the need for concessions to Pro-
gressive sentiment as a means of hast-
ening the reunion of elements that
were divided as a result of the steam
roller convention of two years ago.
Man the Warships.
Entirely aside from the existence
of war in Europe, the admissions
made by Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt are a disgrace to the coun-
try. He says that the men for the
crews have been recruited up to the
limit of the law. As a result many
of the ships are idle and half manned,
while big battleships are used for
gunboat duty. The deficiency in men
amounts to 18,000.
Here is the country expending hun-
dreds of millions of dollars for ships
to see them become obsolete without
ever having done any of the services
that they are counted upon to per-
form of a pacific nature. Should the
country be at war its ships would
be a nuisance to it rather than a bene-
fit.
The Democrats have systematically
discouraged naval and army appro-
priations and legislation and the pos-
sible outcome of the present condi-
tion is not comfortable food for re-
flection. Congress ought to have re-
vised the laws so as to permit the
manning of the ships with full crews.
The same condition, perhaps more
flagrant, exists with regard to paucity
of torpedoes, powder and other muni-
tions of war.
Is the United States playing with
at being a great power or is it in
earnest and seeking to honor its re-
sponsibilities?
Argument Is Stale.
President Wilson speaks of a great
constructive program yet to be real-
ized; the specific plans mentioned re-
fer to the creation of a merchant ma-
rine, conservation of national re-
sources, and the carrying out of a
whole scheme of “peace and honor
and disinterested service to the
world.”
The statement that the Democratic
party is the only united party capable
of carrying through a program of
public service embodies the argument
the president employed ring the
last campaign. It is the customary
argument of the party in power.
Situation Demands Attention.
It will be an embarrassing task to
fix the revenues and it will open up a
multitude of complaints. But the in-
come tax deficiency, like the customs
house deficiency, is a condition and
not a theory, and it will have to re-
ceive attention.
Real Cause for Depression.
President Wilson has said that the
trouble with business is chiefly psycho-
logical—that the times would be all
right for industry and trade if every-
body only thought so, that business is
not so much hurt as it is scared. In
80 far as he is right, the main cause
for depression is his own administra-
tion. That is what is most feared by
business men. That is the principal
source of distrust. It is what does
most to hold enterprise in check and
HUSTLE FOR TEXTILE MILLS
War Has Given American Manufactur-
ers Chance Such as Has Never
Occurred Before.
The European war has raised for
the American manufacturer a protee-
tive wall such as no advocate of the
protective principle in tariff making
has ever demanded. Every protective
tariff that has been enacted has been
a revenue tariff. ‘Which is to say, all
tariffs that have been framed in ac-
cord with protectionist doctrinals,
have, nevertheless, so adjusted the
schedules as to admit a large volume
of foreign manufactured goods and
so have been protective of a large
government revenue. This all-Europe
war has paralyzed more than half the
manufacturing industries of Europe,
and has so given the American manu-
facturer more protection than he ever
asked for.
In the production of textiles, es-
pecially, this year will divert either
to the United States or Japan the lead

United States produces about ninety
per cent of all the raw cotton grown
in the world, but manufactures only
about one-third of the raw product in
textiles. The world populations for
the .most part wear cotton clothes;
wool, silken, and linen clothes are
mere adjuncts. The war has not only

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in’ this way a pain is
a useful alarm. Now, kidney weak-
ness is a dangerous thing—a congition
pot. to be neglected—and it is wise
“to know and pay attention to the early
_ alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion or inflammation in the kid-
neys. It may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when stooping or lift-
ing. There are likely to be disorders
of urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, despondent, tired feelings.
It is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgic attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
As a special medicine for weak kid-
neys Doan’s Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
! medicine immensely, however, by diet-
. ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots of pure water.

As to Doan’s Kidney Pills, read the

Obliged to Give Up Work for Seven Months
John W. Bentley, 2325 S. Warnock St.
Philadelphia, Pa., says: “Kidney trouble
crept on me slowly, but steadily and almost
before I realized it the disease had a firm
grip. The first symptom was pain and stiff-
ness in my back, especially mornings. This
steadily grew worse and after stooping I
could hardly straighten up. I didn’t get the
sleep I should and I tossed and turned, un-
able to find a comfortable position. Morn-
ings I was all worn out. I frequently suf-
fered from dizzy spells and I had
headaches. The kidney secretions got scanty
and too frequent in passage and caused a
terrible burning _ensation. Things went
from bad to worse and finally I had to give
up work for seven months. I consulted doc=-
tor after doctor, but wasn't helped and
was almost ready to give up. Finally I went
to a specialist and he said I was threatened
with Bright's disease. His medicine didn’t
help me either and I lost all hope. A friend
suggested that [ try Doan’s Kidney Pills
and I did. After the second box had been
taken I began to have relief. My strength
and energy came back and the pains. aches
and soreness left me. I was able to get
around a great deal better and I went baci
to work in good health. After I had suf-
fered for years Dyan’s Kidney Pills cured me
and today I have no sign -of kidney trouble,
whatever, I can’t be too grateful for this
cure and I have recommended Doan’'s, Kid-
ney Pills to many of my friends who have
algo used them and been greatly benefited.”

DEFICIENCY IN INCOME TAX
Conditions Throughout the Country
Are Bound to Affect the Gov-
ernment’s Revenues.
The new income tax law is not pro-
ducing the results its authors antici-
pated, according to estimates given
out from the office of the secretary
of the treasury.
‘Where a total of $45,000,000 was ex-
pected from individual incomes, it
seems that but $28,000,000 has been
collected, and it is hinted that not less
than 140,000 income tax dodgers are
evading payment of their dues to the
government. Not one class of incomes
came up to expectations, we are told.
There need be little surprise at
this, however severe the penalties
prescribed by the law for evasions, and
to find when collection time comies
round again that there will be further
reductions, for it is certain that in-
comes of corporations are to suffer
something of a slump because of con-
ditions produced by the European
war. Just what the shrinkage in all
classes of taxable incomes will be is
hard to forecast, but it will certainly
total hundreds of millions, and will
profoundly affect government reven-
ues until normal conditions are re-
stored throughout the world.
Clearing the Decks.
The Democratic party—more partic-
ularly the Democratic administration
—is under tremendous obligations to
the European war. It came along just
in time to distract public attention
from a record not unmarred by seri-
pretext for special taxes as a “war
measure,” although the necessity
if there had been no war. The re-
formed tariff is not providing the gov-
ernment with sufficient revenue, and
the administration has not seen its
way—or it has not gotten round—to
certain promised economies which
might have offset deficiencies of in-
come on tariff account. Above all, the
war has created an atmosphere in ac-
cord with the principle of “let well
enough alone,” and so favorable to
the existing regime.
Democratic Extravagance.
The reduction of the tariff on im-
ports by Wilson and the Democrats
was one of the soundest pieces of
legislation passed in this country for
many years, even though it was awk-
ward and loose in detail and caused
several unnecessary injustices. The
Democrats anticipated that the in-
come tax would supply the deficiency
that the reduction of the taxes on im-
ports coused; but the income tax
failed to amount to as much as the
Democrats hoped for. That is the
real reason for the so-called war tax.
Demacrats were just as earnestly
pledged to economy as they were to
tariff reduction. If they had enforced
economy at the same time that they
enforced tariff reduction there would
be no need for a war tax.
Food for Speculation.
The income tax as a revenue pro-
ducer fell many millions below expec-
tations. One cannot but wonder, had
Democratic party could have found for
the further taxation of the people to
make good the deficiency of the tariff
and of the income tax.

Reluctantly the conscientious wife

expression of rigid rectitude:

Kiegler, German consul to Denver, “is
not at all the conceited, vain-gloridus
character his enemies make him out
to be. He is, on the contrary, as mod-
est as he is intelligent.
“They keynote of his character was
given in 1912 in a speech that he
made to his beloved Brandenburg
regiment.
{ “‘No general” he said, in this
speech, “is a hero to his valet, nor to
himself, either, unless he is a fool.”
Have Best War Hospital.
The Red Cross hospital of 200 beds
near Torquay, established by Ameri-
can women, is said to be the best ar-
ranged war hospital in England, ac-
cording to Sir Frederick Treves, the
distinguished surgeon. The organiza-
tion, which has at its head wealthy
Americans like Mrs. John Astor, Lady
Paget and others, has appropriated
$25,000 for motor ambulances. Funds
are ample to maintain the hospital for
another year, it is said.
A REBELLION
Food Demanded.
The human body will stand a lot of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: ‘Three
| years ago I was very ill with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
. months and my stomach was so weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of thig starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed a@®fl put
me in my chair.
“But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape-
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
| “I am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
i; stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that I get.
The results have certainly been won-
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will' not digest
Grape-Nuts.
“My baby got fat from feeding on
Grape-Nuts. I was afraid I would
have to stop giving the food to him,
but I guess it is a healthy fat, for his
health is just perfect.” Name given
