Anyhow that St. Paul barker who is at the workhouse -for-speeding his automobile isn’t taking in any bad money. Now if that smoke had come from the direction of Danville, ‘ Illinois, there would be no question :as to what caused it. Congressman Volstead apparently thinks Speaker Cannon can be elected to only one executive office— president of the “In Bad” club. Move to amend, ‘‘Where Art Thou Going, Alice” by substituting for “where” the word “What” and “‘going” for the the word ‘‘smoking.” James T. McCleary has announced that he will not enter therace .as a Republican candidate for congress in the second -district. Mr. ;Mc- Cleary apparently doesn’t care to run just for the fun of hearing:his feet make a noise. THE FOREST FIRES. Rehse in the St (Paul Pioneer Press has a graphic cartoon on ithe forest fires now burning in Idaho and Montana. His picture shows in the background -an.ocean of flame and smoke greedily eating away great trees while .the back- ground is made up.of the smoulder- ing stumps which form the wake of the fiery -monster -ahead. Beneath the cartoon -are :these .words, ‘lIs This to Be the -Solution .of the Forestry Problem.” And iwhen | it becomes known that a thousand men have :sacrificed themselves jin the fire zone, to.say nothing :of the destruction of ; property - and -other lives, the artist’s picture .becomes dramatic in the extreme. WHO WAS THE REAL ASSASSIN? Providence, or the doctors,;appear to have spared the life of Mayor Gaynorand a gracions ‘republic: is sending her thanks heavenward. What the future may ( unfold | for the wounded mayor of New York -is an interesting < mystery. Whether destiny. directs: his steps' toward the White House or keeps him for.more years of .usefulness:in- the nation’s metropolis doesn’t need .to concern the average citizenfor his ‘ringing . |to note the circumstances : which the high standard of municipal ex- cellence which he has established in his home city. With the recovery, therefore, of Mayor Gaynor, it perhaps is well lead np to the shooting. Itisa tragedy strangely -similar to_the one which resulted in the death of McKinley. Following the election of Gaynor as mayor in 1909 by a plurality of 73,074, he-has “repeat- edly been denounced in' a ‘sen- sational way by the Hearst news- papers in New York. For weeks these papers were severe and. at times unjust in their criticism. It was close -on ‘the" heels of these bitter.attacks by the Hearst sheets that Mayor Gaynor was shot down by a week minded, broken man who had been dis- charged from ‘the employ of the city because of incompetency, In the assassin’s pocket was found an editorial from the New York “Evening Journal” contrasting in almost savage terms the lot of the city’s minor employes with that of the “big” men of the municipality. The mayor was specified in the editorial. The tone of the “editor- ial” harmonizes with the utterances persistently made since the shooting by the assassin, If Gallagher was inspired to his act by screeching literature which fired his enfeebled brain, does the responsibility rest alone upon his shrunken shoulders? Anyhow, he will be the only man sent to jail. Every man gets into trouble who owns his own hot water plant. If the possession : of money, sud- denly acquired, made men as “toppy” as it does women deadly assaults would be more .common. Nothing is ridiculed more or con- sulted so often as the man who keeps a diary. It is not wise to wish for too long a life; think of the number of obituaries you would have to read. CHICAGO HAS FIERCE STORM Heavy Downpour of Rain Accompanied by High Wind. Chicago, Aug. 24.—One of the heav- lest rain storms of the year, accom. panied by a wind of almost hurricane velocity, prevailed in Chicago and vi- cinity. It is estimated the wind blew at a rate of more than sixty miles.an hour, tearing down signs, uprooting shade trees and demolishing a number of small -wooden structures in outlying districts. Much .damage was done hy the heavy rain, sewers being choked and many basements flooded. The storm was. central over North- ern Wisconsin and from Janesville re- ports came of heavy damage by wind and rain. Although no reports of marine dis- asters have come to lifesaving sta- tions along Lake Michigan it is feared the storm on the lake may have caused distress to shipping. WHEN HER BACK ACHES Ambition Slipping Away. aches and pains.that come when the kidneys fail make life -a burden. Backache, hip pain, headaches, dizzy all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approach of;diabetes, dropsy and Bright’s disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills permanently ‘- cure all these disorders. Here’s proof of it in a Bemidji-woman’s words: Mrs. A. Van Vard, 1218 Bel- trami Avenue i says: "I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills -with -satisfactory ‘results and can truthfully recommend them ito anyone suffering from kidney com- plaint. For some time I had a dull pain in‘the small of my back which caused - me much discomfort. - Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disordered and were the = cause of my suffering. I af length saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such complaints and deciding to try them, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I used them carefully as directed and the pains soon disap- peared ;and my kidneys became strong. I am confident that the relief I received from the use of Doan’s - Kidney ‘Pills :will prove permanent,” For sale by all dealers.
